The Rise of the European Emperor

Since having little Mary, Marin has been very happy. Every time after get off work, Marin likes to hold her daughter and walk around in the backyard of the palace to make her happy.

This made Angela eat a little vinegar:

"Honey, I want to have a daughter too!"

Marin was startled and said:

"Don't you!"

"Why? Don't you like your daughter very much?" Angela was puzzled.

Marin smiled wryly:

"The daughter born by Felice is not a real daughter after all. Even if I dote on her again, she is not a famous princess of Beihai. Therefore, in the future, when Ma Li gets married, it will be easy to pass the time, and she can marry a baron, viscount or something. But if you have a daughter, you will be a serious princess. If you are going to marry in the future, how can you be a prince."

"Yeah, isn't that great?" Angela didn't understand what Marin wanted to express.

Marin shook with little Mary and continued:

"Have you forgotten how Annie got married? That's an expensive dowry of fifty carts... If you give me more daughters, I'll go bankrupt just by paying the dowry..." Marin said with lingering fears.

Angela rolled her eyes immediately - so you are worried about this... but it's too stingy, if it spreads out, it will be embarrassing...

But what Marin said also made sense. Little Mary was not a famous princess. At that time, marrying a baron is not bad, after all, it is an illegitimate daughter. And if you marry a baron, you don't have the title of princess, so you don't need a lot of dowry...

Some people may say - in the original history, didn't Felice marry a great Italian nobleman in the second marriage? The children of the previous Pope Alexander VI were also rich...

However, things cannot be said that way. Why? Because Julius II and Alexander VI were both popes and had no legitimate children. For them, illegitimate children are the only children. The Pope's status is very noble, and his resources are very rich. But because there are no legitimate children born in wedlock, resources can only be given to illegitimate children. Therefore, the Pope's illegitimate children will also do well.

But the nobles are different, the nobles themselves have children born in wedlock. Most of their resources are for children born in wedlock. Not to mention that the resources of the nobles themselves may not be able to catch up with the Pope. The fact that most of the resources are taken away from children born in wedlock is doomed that the illegitimate children of the nobles are destined to not get any good resources.

Not to mention the prince of Marin, even if it is a king, his illegitimate daughter may not be able to marry a big noble like a duke and an earl. Why? Because you are willing to marry, others may not be willing to marry...

After all, the dukes and earls are considered top nobles. This kind of big noble family has its own pride. The object of their marriage is not even considered by the minor nobles, not to mention the status of an illegitimate daughter who can't be on the table?

Therefore, even if it is the illegitimate daughter of the king, it is generally only possible to marry a nobleman like a baron. And those barons who are willing to marry the king's illegitimate daughters generally have the idea of ​​seeking progress. After all, marrying the king's illegitimate daughter, it is only natural to be reused, this is the exchange of conditions...

Of course, there are also land compensation. For example, the declining baron family has too few fiefs. At this time, the king can marry the illegitimate daughter to him, and then compensate the other party with more fiefs. After all, cash may not be much for a king, but land is definitely enough. The big deal, seal more wasteland, anyway, no money...

So, don't look at little Mary being so favored now, but the cost of marrying when she grows up is really not too high. After all, there is also a lot of land in the Grand Duchy of the North Sea in Marin. At most, when the time comes, a certain baron will be compensated for more land. Anyway, big nobles can't marry, but barons can.

...

For the sake of explaining the words, the jealousy in Angela's heart naturally disappeared. Because Marin told him clearly—whether it was Robert, Jack Ma, or Mary,

Neither will touch the big cake that belongs to Caesar.

Moreover, the reason why Angela tolerated Robert living in the palace was because Marin told him that he planned to hold Robert as the pope in the future.

If Robert can become the Pope as Marin said, then it must be a huge help for Caesar and even Caesar's son. If nothing else, Angela's father, Pope Julius II, is of great help to Marin. Therefore, it is also necessary to keep Robert in the palace and enhance brotherhood with Caesar...

...

The production time of Felice was in late September. This time period coincides with the stage of the autumn harvest in Beihai. Of course, only part of Beihai Country has started the autumn harvest.

Because the former East Frisian region of the North Sea, including Schleswig, Oldenburg and North Münster, used fertilizers including phosphate fertilizers, resulting in rye ripening time longer than other regions morning. After all, the important role of phosphate fertilizer is to ripen early. Or, it can be said the other way around - the role of phosphate fertilizer is to prevent slow growth of crops...

Now, Marin is not very interested in the autumn harvest. In any case, it must have been a great harvest. He would be surprised if there was no good harvest. After all, as long as there are no major droughts and major floods, food is not a big problem.

Moreover, there is basically no drought in the northern region of Germany. Even if there is a drought, there are large rivers such as the Ames that regulate the flow of water. As for the flood, it's a little bit, but it doesn't seem to be much...

Floods in Germany are mainly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of larger rivers such as the Rhine. As for rivers like the Ames, the water volume does not seem to be large enough, and the number of floods is relatively small.

Generally speaking, droughts mostly occur in areas with scarce precipitation and insufficient river water, such as northern China. Floods mostly occur in areas with high precipitation and large rivers, such as the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River...

Malin's North Sea Country, on the North Sea, there are many small and medium-sized rivers flowing through, so droughts are rare. As for the flood, because the river water volume is not large, it seems to be relatively small.

However, with the acquisition of the land on the east bank of the Rhine, I am afraid that there will be many flood problems in the future. After all, the Rhine is a big river.

...

As October approaches, the autumn harvest season in Europe is also about to start. Just as everyone was in full swing preparing for the autumn harvest, the Swedes were anxious...

Why are you in a hurry? Because the power of the Kingdom of Sweden is basically surrounded by Stockholm, and Finland has not yet been invaded.

However, the best part of Sweden is the southern area currently occupied by the Danish army...

Sweden is a high-latitude country, and most areas are not suitable for agriculture. Only the southern part of the country has a similar latitude to Denmark, which is somewhat agricultural.

But now, the autumn harvest season in October is about to begin. But Sweden's agricultural production areas are currently occupied by Denmark.

That is to say, when the autumn harvest begins, the Danes will be the ones in charge of harvesting the Swedish crops. Would the Danes be kind enough to harvest their crops and send them back to the Swedes? Obviously not possible!

Therefore, if it is delayed, Sweden's autumn harvest this year will be swallowed by Denmark...

So Sweden is in a hurry...

In addition to the impending failure of the crops, the Fajron copper mine in Sweden is currently occupied by the Danish army. The copper ingots mined and smelted were also taken away by the Danes...

In this desperate situation, the Swedes finally bowed their heads and sent people to Beihai Kingdom to ask Marin to mediate and end the war as soon as possible...

In fact, the Danes had already told the Swedes that Marin could mediate. At the same time, Lübeck and Hamburg also hinted that this matter requires Marin to come forward...

But the Swedes were just not happy. Why? Because once the Kingdom of Sweden asks Marin to mediate, the issue of shares in the Fayilun Copper Mine will have to be discussed. Because, Fa Yilun copper ore Marin sent people to develop it. Before that, Marin also owned half of the income of the copper mine.

Now, if you ask Marin to come forward, half of the profits may be spit out, which is difficult for the great Swedish nobles to accept. After all, these greedy great nobles are used to swallowing, but not accustomed to spit out...

However, things have developed to the point where all of Sweden's food goes to Denmark. Therefore, before the autumn harvest, the Swedes had to bow their heads and send someone to invite Marin to act as a mediator. At the same time, I was also mentally prepared for bloodletting... 8)
