The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, the machinery industry is not the most dangerous industry in the industrial system. When it comes to danger, there is nothing more dangerous than the chemical industry. In the previous life, when Marin was in college, he passed by the chemical laboratory building, and there were various explosions in it from time to time, as if a terrorist attack had occurred. Coincidentally, Xiao Bushi was still in place in those years, and 911 was only a few years past. Therefore, at that time, the chemical laboratory building was nicknamed the "911 Building".

Of course, when conducting chemical experiments in the new century, the level of protection is already very high. For example, chemical laboratories have special protective clothing. But when Guochao was first established, it was terrible because everyone generally lacked professional knowledge. Because they don't know chemistry, many workers operate unscientifically. In this way, it is not a small explosion in the laboratory, but an explosion in a large industrial container such as a boiler or a high-pressure reactor, and one death is one piece. Until the 21st century, the chemical industry is still the most dangerous industry, and many people are reluctant to enter it. Of course, except for petrochemicals with deep pockets.

However, it's not just us in danger. In fact, no matter which country it is, it is quite dangerous to engage in chemical industry. For example, the super bomb forced Nobel to kill his own brother during the experiment. How many assistants were killed? Sorry, they are not important and are not eligible to be advertised...

It is precisely because he knows the dangers of chemistry that even if Marin knew that Lei Mercury could be used as a primer, he did not dare to study it. Because that thing is much stronger than gunpowder. Moreover, he didn't dare to tell Da Vinci, for fear that the big guy would get excited and take the initiative to commit suicide.

Marin plans to select a group of "death fighters" from among Da Vinci to help him train enough college students majoring in chemistry and have enough chemistry teachers to study super dangerous things such as thunder mercury. Otherwise, if you take the risk of research when there is a shortage of talents, it only takes one explosion to ruin the chemical industry...

The same is true for the mechanical industry. Only after the major has trained a group of university teachers and can continuously train students in the mechanical department can we start various researches. Even if there is an accident, it will be a big deal to train new people on top.

In order to stimulate the development of the machinery industry, Marin plans to learn from the practice of later generations of New China and divide craftsmen into eight levels. The highest eighth-level worker is considered the top. As for salary, it is also divided into 8 levels. Among them, the lowest grade 1 worker, the daily salary is 3 pfennigs; the daily salary of the 2nd grade worker is 4 pfennigs; Level 5 workers and above are masters, level 6 workers’ daily salary will jump to 1 shilling (12 Finneys), level 7 workers will be 1.5 shillings, level 8 workers will be 2 shillings...

That's not to mention, the higher the level of the master, the higher the bonus and benefits, and the distribution of houses is just a basic operation. In this way, ordinary mechanics can be vigorously stimulated to work hard and strive to become masters.

...

For the time being, Marin didn't plan to take care of the test situation of the 12 walking tractors. Those things were left by Marin to a group of more reliable watch craftsmen. In this era, the ability to manufacture clocks and watches represents the highest level of handicraft technology. Therefore, Marin is also at ease with them. As for the single-cylinder diesel engine, Marin also followed them. He was only responsible for giving money and stimulating them to perfect the machine with a high salary.

In addition, we have to wait for the oil imports from Persia to come back. After all, he doesn't have much diesel in his hand now, so it won't last long.

In November, the autumn harvest in European countries is basically over. In southern Italy, even winter wheat has begun to be grown. At this time, the Holy See "Indulgence Notes" sales team headed by John Tezel, who hadn't heard of it for a long time, appeared again...

In the months before that, John Tezel's team seemed to have been silent for several months, and did not appear before everyone until after the autumn harvest.

Why? Because John Tezel found that even if he led a group to sell indulgences during the spring and summer seasons, the effect was not very good. The reason is that in this era dominated by agriculture, before the autumn harvest, no one had much money. At this time to sell indulgences, the effect is a bit poor.

But it is different after the autumn harvest. At this time, everyone has the most abundant time in the year, and selling indulgences at this time can get twice the result with half the effort. So, John Tezel brought the sales team to Northwest Germany...

Before that, Johann Tezel's team had traveled all over the archdiocese of Mainz, Trier, Cologne, Paderborn and Utrecht in the south. and the Bishop of Liege.

For more than half a year, John Tezel achieved a brilliant sales record. He actually obtained 840,000 gold coins by selling indulgences. Even if they had to share half with these church princes, the team still brought huge profits to the Holy See.

Pope Julius II, who wholeheartedly wanted to repair St. Peter's Basilica, was very happy. Although his health was not very good this year, he was still very excited to hear that the Holy See had raised hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and even his health improved. a lot.

As for Cardinal Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, who handled the specific arrangements, he gained a high reputation in the Holy See. After all, being able to help the Holy See make money is a manifestation of ability.

...

In fact, John Tezel was not idle in the past few months. He went to negotiate with those secular princes about the interest sharing of indulgences.

As the plenipotentiary representative of Cardinal Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, John Tezel still has a lot of face in the German region. After all, many people are speculating that the next pope is likely to be Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici. At this time, no prince is willing to easily offend the popular cardinal. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to be hated by the future pope.

It's just that the secular princes still have great doubts about the share of the sale of indulgences. In addition, they are also very dissatisfied with the proportion of the share.

Because, when Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici and those religious princes were divided, they were divided in half. But when it comes to the secular princes, it becomes only 10%. The other 40% were handed over to the local church where the secular princes belonged.

Those princes were not actually dissatisfied with the small share. After all, it is already a pleasant surprise to be able to share the benefits of selling indulgences. What they are dissatisfied with is that the church in their country actually gets more than them...

You must know that secular vassal states are different from church vassal states. In the kingdom of church princes, the church is naturally the dominant one. They took half of the benefits, so naturally no one said anything, and they dared not say anything.

However, it is different in secular princes. In the secular vassal state, the biggest is the princes, followed by the church. Using the metaphor of gangs, the princes are the top leaders, while the local church is at most the second leader.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if there are benefits, the boss should get the big head, and the others will be divided. However, the sale of the indulgence coupons turned out to be that the "second leader" took much more than the "big leader", or four times, and they were upset.

It's just that the church is very powerful at the moment, and these princes dare not speak out, but are still waiting and watching.

And this is exactly what Marin wanted. What he wants is to let the princes accumulate resentment against the church. Once the grievance reaches the critical value, it will inevitably explode. When the time comes, it will be Marin's chance...
