The Rise of the European Emperor

Although France began to emancipate serfs in the 12th and 13th centuries, there are still many remnants of French serfdom until now. Historically, it was not until the mid-16th century that France basically completed the emancipation of serfs. However, there are still plenty of remnants. Until the outbreak of the French Revolution, there were still millions of serfs in France.

Of course, most of the remaining serfs during the French Revolution came from the land that Lorraine, Alsace, and Franche-Comté had robbed from the German region. After all, serfdom was not resolved in Germany until the 19th century.

But now, apart from the three unacquired areas mentioned above, there are quite a few remnants of serfdom in other areas. At the beginning of the 16th century, it was the last struggle of serfdom. However, this last struggle and retrospect, the resistance is enormous.

Just like those feudal lords in France, who is willing to liberate their serfs? After all, when using serfs to work, most of the land income is their own, and only a very limited amount of food and other living materials need to be given to the serfs. If you hire farmers to work, not only do you have to share a lot of profits, but also, free farmers are not under the command of the lord. If people want to do it, they can do it, and if they don't want to do it, they just leave.

In this regard, the French feudal nobles were naturally very unhappy. However, due to the law, it is not easy for them to force farmers to serve them as serfs.

Moreover, because of the low level of education, the French rural nobles really couldn't think of any tricks and tricks to deal with the peasants.

But ancient China was different. Ancient China had been full of conspiracies and tricks since the Warring States Period. Afterwards, the big landlords were mostly literati with a stomach full of bad water. These people are smart and good at using rules to persecute farmers and rob them of their fields within the scope of the law. The Europeans in the same period obviously lacked such wisdom. It wasn't until the 18th century that intrigue became popular in Europe.

But now, Marin introduced these conspiracies and tricks to these greedy French feudal nobles three hundred years in advance, and immediately aroused their admiration and pursuit. Then, the two hit it off.

Subsequently, those greedy nobles in northeastern France privately connected in series, unifying the lending methods and profits. In the face of farmers, they all adopt the rolling interest loan model with a monthly interest rate of 15%, and the starting period is 12 months, which is 5.35 times the annual interest rate.

Even the bishops and abbots of the local church were drawn in by them to form a united front to exploit the peasants.

Then, a mysterious merchant organization called the "Paris Chamber of Commerce" (actually created by the Paris branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce), united most of the land nobles and abbots in the disaster-stricken areas of northeastern France, and began to provide local farmers with mortgage-free usury loans. Moreover, the attitude is very good. Not only the monthly interest is low, but also the disaster-stricken farmers who have borrowed do not have to rush to repay...

Soon, a Jewish businessman in the Ardennes area who was also a usurer discovered the truth about the compound interest rate of this loan union. So he spoke out in public. But the next day, the entire family of the Jewish businessman was killed, and the food used for loan at the family was also looted. The local judge then hastily closed the case, declaring that the family had been killed by a starving mob. …

After this incident, no businessman dared to stand up and criticize the lending alliance. Even businessmen who were also engaged in the lending business before, with little background, chose to flee the disaster area. Because, they realized that if they got involved, they might die...

In ancient times, when natural disasters broke out, it was also a period of high incidence of criminal cases. Just because of stuttering, homicides can happen anytime, anywhere. Moreover, it is very difficult to investigate cases at this time, and many cases are left unsolved. Because, during the disaster period, the population flow was extremely large, and it was extremely difficult to investigate the case...

In ancient times, there were no professional criminal police, let alone DNA identification and fingerprint identification technology. In ancient times, habitual offenders were generally investigated first, followed by floating population. Also, look for witnesses. But during the famine period, the population flow was huge, and the ancient police were extremely low in handling cases, and many ancient police were even recruited by the magistrate.

Of course nothing was found. After all, they are not professional enough.

During this chaotic period, the powerful nobles were naturally allowed to play freely. Soon, most of the victims borrowed food and seeds under deceit. And a small number of unborrowed ones were quietly reminded by caring people. After all, although some smart people who see the problem dare not speak up, they must quietly remind their relatives and friends.

But this does not affect the overall situation. Most of the local farmers do not know how to count, and no one dares to remind them. Naturally, they all jumped into the pit one after another, unable to extricate themselves.

In fact, Marin not only did it in France, but also in Italy...

Before, Marin had always looked down on Italians and did not want to accept Italian immigrants. However, since Felice became pregnant and asked for the title of Earl of Uruguay for the unborn child, she expressed her intention to immigrate from Italy, and opened a window for Marin...

That's right, the Italians of later generations are indeed funny and unreliable. But, that's made by Italian culture. If a colonial country with Italians as the main body is established, it is of course unreliable. However, what if a country with mainly German culture and some Italians is established...

In this day and age, there is no nationalism in Europe. As for the Italian region, the Italians themselves are used to being divided, and they don't think that Italy should be unified or anything.

In fact, in this era, not only the Italians did not have a unified national consciousness, but even in the German region, no one thought that Germany should be unified. Only an ambitious monarch like Maximilian I has the ambition to unify Germany.

Therefore, even if the Italians are unreliable, the big deal is to let German culture replace their original culture. The first generation of Italian immigrants is not good, but after school education, the second generation of Italian immigrants should be able to. After several generations of education, the Italians have become Germanized, so they are not so funny.

In the final analysis, whether it is the funny comparison of the Italians in later generations, or the various unreliability of the black uncles, it is all determined by their unreliable cultural atmosphere. Just like Obama, the famous black president in later generations, he grew up in a private school that cultivates elites in the United States, and he is obviously much more rational than ordinary blacks. Obviously, Comrade Obaniu has not been influenced by unreliable black culture, so he can achieve such achievements.

In the same way, Italians are not actually stupid, but because of cultural issues, they are timid and timid. But when it comes to cultural level, Italians are actually no worse than other European countries. What makes them really funny is the war, not the technology.

You know, Italian technology is actually very good. Not to mention Ferrari and other luxury cars in later generations, just Li Yunlong's sentence "Second Battalion Commander, where is your mother's Italian gun?" It shows that Italy's technological level is still good.

It may not be possible to let the Italians go to war, but the Italians are actually not bad for farming and engaging in technological culture...
