The Rise of the European Emperor

While Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici and John Tezel were busy forming the choir, Marin was not idle, and he sent someone to Giovanni di Loren Zodiac de' Medici sent a small military band.

Although the majestic electronic sound effects at the beginning of the later "The Mass" cannot be played, most of them can still be played with orchestral instruments, such as the violin and cello "invented" by Marin. As for the electronic sound at the beginning, Marin replaced it with drum sounds. Although the effect was much worse, it was better than nothing. With the accompaniment of these orchestral instruments and drums, the singing effect of "The Mass" has been improved by N times, which is extremely shocking.

Marin had long hoped that John Tezel's indulgence sales team would arrive in Germany early to make money, because without John Tezel's indulgence sales team, Martin Luther's anger would not be aroused, and it would be difficult to stir up religious reform movement.

Although it is said that Marin has sent 007 to lurk beside Martin Luther, and began to try to influence Martin Luther's thinking. However, because he didn't see the completely depraved side of the church, the young Martin Luther hadn't made up his mind to break with the Holy See. Therefore, John Tezel's indulgence sales group will be the most important part of Marin's plan-to arouse Martin Luther's anger and resistance...

When this big boss gets angry and feels cold towards the church, then 007 will be able to persuade him to carry out religious reforms. Historically, Martin Luther did not openly oppose indulgences until 1517. Marin didn't want to wait that long, so he planned to ask Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici to increase the sales of indulgences, and went to the Electorate of Saxony many times to sell them. The Electorate of Saxony is where Martin Luther lived. John Tezel performed in front of Martin Luther many times, and he could quickly arouse his anger.

In fact, Martin Luther didn't even know that Marin had prepared for him the "Ninety-Five Program" that he originally refuted indulgences in history. Once 007 discovered that Martin Luther began to hate indulgences, he would spread the contents of the "Ninety-Five Program" to him. Then, use it to spread the program.

In addition, Martin Luther's Protestant ideas, Marin is ready, ready to let 007 secretly influence Martin Luther. Among them, the most important point is to encourage princes to confiscate church land and property...

This is very, very important, because, in the original history, it took decades for Protestantism to be accepted by most princes in northern Germany. And Marin threw out "confiscation of church land and property" early in order to attract princes to join Protestantism. After all, the church is so rich, it's no wonder those princes are not greedy.

But Marin is very sensitive about the tithe issue. Because this thing is a nuclear weapon. Originally in history, Martin Luther agreed in principle to pay tithes to secular monarchs, but Marin would never agree, and would even desperately oppose it!

Why? Because Marin is worried about France! France now,

Because the French king can only rely on territorial output, commercial taxes, and customs duties to obtain income. Therefore, the number of troops that can be supported is very limited, generally ten to twenty thousand, and tens of thousands at most in wartime. It can be said that limited by income, France has not utilized the demographic dividend of 15 million people at all.

And if the French royal family can collect tithes instead of the church, it would be terrible! The combined population of Germany is not as large as that of France. If Louis XII had French tithes in hand, he would have no trouble feeding an army of more than 100,000 to 200,000 people. At that time, facing France with sufficient taxes, Marin, the traverser, will also tremble.

Therefore, Marin's bottom line is-you can confiscate the church's land and property during the Protestant Reformation, but you must not get involved in tithes. Whoever gets involved, even if it is the king of France, Marin will send troops to beat him to death!

...

And from now on, Marin has quietly started preparing for the religious war...

In terms of military affairs, while Marin is training the domestic police force, he is planning to hide troops overseas. The American Legion has been quietly recruiting. In order not to stimulate other vassal states, Marin did not show the banner, but sent spies to quietly go deep into the German countries, especially the southern mountainous areas, to select suitable sources of troops. After being recruited, these people will be shipped to the North American colonies for systematic training in the early stage, and then they will go out to attack those Indian tribes to exercise their courage and fighting ability. Of course, they also need to master logging skills, because the battle to conquer North America will eventually need to cut down forests and reclaim arable land. In this way, European immigration can stand. Otherwise, the Mangmang Forest is definitely the home of the Indians. Facing the archers of the Indians haunting the deep mountains and old forests, no matter how powerful the army is, it will also have a headache. Therefore, Marin decided to let the army fight steadily, and cut down trees wherever they hit. Without the cover of the forest, Indian archers are lambs to be slaughtered...

...

In addition to military preparations, Marin also made a lot of economic preparations. For example, the lands of the eight vassal states he acquired...

Although Marin has controlled his greed, half of the arable land of the eight vassal states fell into Marin's hands. The other half of the arable land is owned by the local church and the more obedient minor nobles and Junker landlords.

The arable land of the 8 vassal states is not a small number. According to the rough estimates of the officials in charge of statistics under Kohler, Marin "redeemed" from the 8 vassals and their nobles about nearly half of the cultivated land in the 8 countries, with a total area of ​​up to Nearly a million acres.

In other words, the half of the cultivated land owned by Marin in these eight vassal states is close to 6 million mu!

Excluding the 100,000 acres that need to be used to reward meritorious soldiers, the remaining 900,000 acres belong to Marin. And this year's autumn harvest of these lands will belong to Marin. Therefore, Marin is also very concerned about this.

However, due to the need for confidentiality, Marin did not use the mixed fertilizer with three complete fertilizers on the newly acquired land in the eight countries, but only planned to use it on the millions of acres of arable land (including the land allocated to his subordinates). Volcanic ash, for cover. Of course, the output will not be too low. At least, it's much better than no fertilizer.

Moreover, what Marin applied to this millions of acres of arable land was not just volcanic ash. In the volcanic ash mined from the Italian region, Marin also asked people to stir a lot of potassium salt into it. In this way, the fertility of these volcanic ash will increase greatly. At that time, the yield per mu of the land taken by Marin and his men in the eight vassal states will be more than one hundred pounds. At that time, more than 200 pounds is just a start, and 300 pounds per mu is not a myth. After all, volcanic ash plus potassium salt, the fertility is high enough...

However, as the French invaded the Kingdom of Naples, several volcanoes in Naples that Marin bought privately as cover were lost. Fortunately, Marin later thought of Iceland, which has many volcanoes, and spent money to buy Iceland and regain the volcanic ash. With volcanic ash added with potassium salts as fertilizer, Marin believes that the newly acquired millions of acres of arable land in the 8 countries, yielding two to three hundred pounds per mu is not a problem...

In this way, Marin can obtain the high yield of the newly acquired land without revealing the real fertilizer secrets. Although it is not as good as the yield of more than 500 pounds per mu in the four early provinces using mixed fertilizers with three complete fertilizers, compared with the grain yield per unit area of ​​other European countries, it is already considered high yield...

As summer passed quietly, Marin was already waiting for the arrival of autumn. In the fall, both native cropland and newly acquired fields fertilized with volcanic ash will yield bountiful crops. Although the yield per mu may be quite different, in any case, it is much higher than the grain yield per mu in other countries... 8)
