The Rise of the European Emperor

After all, Kahn is Marin's inseparable bodyguard. His disappearance will definitely arouse people's speculation. At that time, there will be news that James IV was beaten to death by a fierce general, and those who are interested in comparing the two will inevitably doubt Kahn.

Therefore, in order to prevent Kahn's disappearance from causing outside speculation, Marin specially found a strong man who was similar in size to Kahn and pretended to be Kahn.

This double wears Karn's armor and rides on Karn's horse. However, his visor is closed and does not show his face to others. And during this time, the task of this fake Kahn is to walk the show between Kahn's mansion and the palace every day, so as not to make people suspect Kahn's disappearance. After the fake Kahn arrives at the palace, he will also go to the lounge of the palace to sleep, and then leave after get off work, trying not to contact others.

As for Marin himself, during this period of time, he was not allowed to go out in the palace, so as to avoid false Kahn revealing his secrets. After all, once Marin leaves the palace, Kahn, as the number one bodyguard, must be by his side. And once in contact with outsiders, the fake Kahn is easy to reveal his secrets. In the palace, as long as the arrangements are made, it is not easy to reveal the truth.

...

During this time, Marin was also very boring. March is the official spring season, which is very suitable for spring outings. However, in order to cooperate with Kahn's disappearance, Marin had to stay in the palace and could not go out.

Bored, Marin had no choice but to get more involved in government affairs and discuss political affairs with Jeffrey, the prime minister. This made Jeffrey nervous for a while, thinking he had made some mistake. Otherwise, why has Marin been staring at him recently?

He didn't know that Marin was just bored because he couldn't go out for a spring outing, and he didn't have any opinion on him.

You must know that in this era, there are very few scholars, and even fewer civil servants who know how to handle government affairs. Although Jeffrey is a fencer and cannot be trusted by Marin, he still handles government affairs at a certain level. At least, let yourself be at ease. Not only that, but Jeffrey also knows how to measure, knowing that the military and financial power cannot make decisions without authorization, and often asks Marin for instructions. As for the appointment of personnel, Jeffrey did not decide without authorization, but let Marin choose after giving more than two choices each time. And he never objected to the staff arrangement proposed by Marin... How could Marin not like such a worry-free subordinate? Before the teenagers who were more trusted by Marin grow up, Marin can only rely on old civil servants like Jeffrey.

However, Marin's trust in Jeffrey is also limited. For example, Jeffrey didn't know about top-secret news like the assassination of James IV. After all, Jeffrey is not very reliable. It's better not to let him know the secrets that are too important, especially the assassination of the king, which can easily lead to ruin. If the news leaks out, Marin won't have to hang out in the circle.

Marin didn't tell the truth, so Jeffrey was naturally very nervous, thinking that Marin finally decided to fire him, so he was very nervous.

In fact, Marin really thought about firing Jeffrey. At the beginning, after the more capable former Danish Prime Minister Mikel came over, he did a good job in the Principality of Schleswig, and Marin had the idea of ​​letting him replace Jeffrey. After all, Mikel is a big boss who has managed the huge Kalmar Alliance, so he has much more experience in governing the country than Jeffrey. Jeffrey knows this too.

It's just that Marin later occupied the Jutland Peninsula, and there were more than 200,000 Danes under his rule. Out of the need for national stability, Marin finally had to leave Mikel, who was a Dane, in the east, so that Mikel could appease the Danes who had just surrendered at any time.

In other words, the current management system of the North Sea State is actually divided into two parts-the western region is under the control of Aurich, that is, under the control of Jeffrey; and the eastern provinces of Jutland and Schleswig. The provinces with more people are managed by Mikel. Strictly speaking, Jeffrey is not the Prime Minister of the North Sea State, but the Prime Minister of the West who manages the western provinces, while Mikel is the Prime Minister of the East.

In addition, Machiavelli, who is in charge of managing the province of North Münster, is currently also in charge of the newly merged Ruhr province. Although he is a subordinate of Jeffrey in name, he has a faint tendency to fight Jeffrey.

And Haider, the first college student recruited by Marin, is currently managing the provinces of Oldenburg and Bremen, and he also has the momentum to replace Jeffrey.

In fact, Haider is what Marin plans to train to replace Jeffrey. It's just that Haider seems to be not as beautiful as Jeffrey in handling things, and he is a little rigid, so Marin hesitates and does not replace Jeffrey immediately.

As for Machiavelli, although his ability is stronger than that of Haider, considering that this guy is Italian and was kidnapped by himself, Marin was actually very hesitant about who to choose to take over as prime minister. As for Mikel, he's getting old, and God knows when he'll burp. Therefore, the future prime minister must be born between the reliable Haider and the more capable Machiavelli. Because they are all young people under forty years old, they can be used for a long time.

...

And Jeffrey had a bad feeling about Marin's sudden and frequent visits precisely because he knew that there were many people who could replace him. In fact, he was worrying too much. However, Marin couldn't tell him clearly.

Geoffrey works especially hard these days because he is afraid of losing the position of prime minister. No, he took the initiative to talk about the population growth of Beihai State...

It just so happened that Marin was worrying about the introduction of population during this time, so he discussed it with Jeffrey. Marin's plan, of course, was introduced from the outside. Because, if it is introduced from the outside quickly, it will become an adult when it is introduced. Unlike internal reproduction, it takes more than ten years to cultivate, which is too slow.

Jeffrey, on the other hand, has the opposite opinion. He believes that although external introductions come quickly, others are not fools. For example, those vassals are now restricting the North Sea country from importing population from their country. With Marin not planning to use force for several years, it has become very difficult to introduce people from foreign countries.

Moreover, Jeffrey believes that these foreign populations can share wealth, but they cannot share adversity. What is really reliable is the population born in the country. And those immigrants can come when Beihai country is in full bloom, and they can also leave when Beihai country encounters disasters. Therefore, it is better to encourage more births in the country...

"Do you encourage domestic birth population?" Marin suddenly remembered the Yue King Goujian's "Ten years of gathering, ten years of lessons"...

The successful example of King Goujian of Yue is in front of him, and Marin has to admit that encouraging births is also a mature population growth model.

Although this cycle is a bit long, it may be close to 20 years. But Marin is not yet 30 years old, and 20 years later, he will only be 50 years old. And at the age of 50, for the North Sea country, whose medical science is more advanced than other European countries, it is the age when a politician creates brilliance...

"Okay, I agree to encourage birth!" Marin, who has always been greedy for quick and convenient, finally settled down and approved the population growth model of "encourage birth", which is not effective...
