Chapter 1671: 1 minister does not matter 2 masters
In his heart, Marin carried out a fierce ideological struggle. Seeing the gold coins, Marin wanted to make money. Moreover, the price of Louis XII is 1.2 fenny per pound, which is 20% higher than the price of German food. However, thinking of the opportunity to recruit people from France, Marin was shaken again ...
He knew very well that if Louis XII was given enough food to quell the natural disaster, the number of people he could recruit was limited. After all, who is willing to live, who is willing to easily change their living environment? In the agricultural era, not only Chinese people love home, but also Europeans. Only after entering the 19th century, after the beginning of the industrial era, did the world ’s population migrate on a large scale.
For example, in the United States, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, there were only two or three million people in thirteen states in North America. But after entering the 19th century, with the advent of the industrial age, the scale of world population migration is getting larger and larger. By the middle and late 19th century, there were millions of immigrants each year.
Therefore, in this era, it is very difficult for French farmers, especially self-cultivators, to leave their land. Unless, it really can't survive.
Obviously, as long as Marin sells food to Louis XII, even if Louis XII cooks a very thin porridge, which is mixed with a pile of debris ... As long as he eats and can survive, most farmers will not want to leave their home of……
Gradually, Marin prefers not to sell grain to Louis XII ...
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. A group of nobles in Beihai heard that Louis XII was willing to buy real gold and silver for food. They found Marin and wanted to sell food.
In the Beihai Kingdom, although Marin alone occupies half of the country's cultivated land, the other half is also in the hands of various nobles and many generals. The food backlog of Marin cannot be sold, and the food of the families of the nobles of the North Sea State cannot be sold.
Many noble families in Beihai have a large backlog of Chen Liang. The most serious thing is that after this year's bumper harvest, many grain bins of the noble families in Beihai can't put in any new grain.
Although he knew that France and the North Sea countries did not deal with it, but the desire to deal with the backlog of food prompted many people to find Marin and ask to sell food.
Marin had misery in his heart at this time. The idea of using the French natural disasters to seize the opportunity to recruit French farmers could only be done. Otherwise, Marin will become the nail of Louis XII. He could not explain clearly with the nobles under his command, and there was no way to stop them from selling grain ...
After thinking about it, Marin finally gave a reluctant reason-Louis XII bought food. In addition to the relief area, he actually wanted to use it as military food to invade the Swiss area occupied by the emperor ...
This reason is barely established. After all, Marin was founded by the emperor. The Germans, even if they were unhappy with the emperor, could not watch the French bully the emperor. In particular, many of the Lieutenant General Marin recruited from the mountainous regions of the princely countries close to the emperor in southern Germany.
The nobles of the Beihai Kingdom felt reasonable, so they discussed together for a long time. But half a day later, they proposed a compromise solution to Marin-selling food that was barely enough for the disaster victims in northeastern France, so that they could sell a batch of food in exchange for cash. At the same time, it also prevents the French from using excess food for military purposes ...
Although Marin wasn't very happy in his heart, he couldn't make it clear that he was in love with the French victims. In desperation, he had no choice but to agree that the nobles sold enough food to France for millions of victims. Converted, according to the low standard of drinking gruel every day, agreed to sell 30 million pounds of grain to France. At 1.2 fenny per pound, it is worth 36 million fenny and worth 600,000 gold coins.
Louis XII is a bit too little, why is it too little? He really wanted to take the opportunity to purchase a batch of military food. However, Marin desperately blocked, so that Louis XII could only buy so much.
In order to appease his nobles, Marin even gave up his share of grain sales and gave all the benefits to his men. But in private, Marin asked Kohler to quietly write down the names of the nobles who jumped the most in the small book ...
Marin believes that these nobles who jumped the most are suspected of having an affair with France. If you take a step back, even if you don't have a private interest in France, you won't be so reliable when you see money. After all, the relationship between Beihai and France is not good, as many people know. Is there any problem in selling food so aggressively to the French for disaster relief?
As a result, Kohler sent someone to investigate in person, and really found out the problem-there are two most nobles who are called the most. Of course, instead of surrendering to the French, he took bribes from the French and helped the French speak.
Malinton suddenly crossed the two people in his own notebook, of course, it is not suitable to deal with them at the moment. Moreover, their crimes are not serious crimes in this era. However, Marin always has a way to clean them up. In the future, an excuse would be. Fortunately, the two were civilians, not military generals. Otherwise, Marin will not be able to fall asleep nervously.
In fact, in this era, it is actually normal for nobles to be bought by other countries. Most of the nobles of this era were greedy. As long as they bribed, and if things were not serious, they would accept it.
But Marin comes from Huaxia, and Chinese people pay attention to "either left or right, or good or evil", and sometimes it is a very serious problem ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Therefore, Marin is so angry. But in this era, there are actually many nobles who colluded with foreign countries. Many European nobility during this period, the eldest son played for the king, and the second son might play for the king ’s deadly enemy. These nobles, like the ancient Chinese family, have the supremacy of the family, no matter what monarch you are or not.
Only those generals promoted by Marin from the civilian population were loyal and educated by Marin in the first place, "one minister does not work but two masters". The two nobles who were bought were actually the old nobles of the princely states occupied by Marin who later turned to Marin. They still maintain the old habit of betting on many sides. Seeing that France is powerful, although they have not turned to the past, they will not draw a line with France.
Marin is also very helpless about this old habit of multiple bets by traditional European nobles. He could not dispose of those nobles for this reason, and the Beihai Kingdom did not openly face up with France. Not an enemy country, it is impossible to convict them ...
To change the minds of the nobles, Marin can only count on the next generation. Therefore, Marin ordered-to reform the teaching methods of aristocratic schools, and completely change the aristocratic schools to boarding systems, and no longer allow boarding.
At the same time, Marin ordered the teachers and instructors in those schools to vigorously educate those noble children on the loyalty of "one minister, no two masters". Seven days a week, they spend five days in school, more contact than their parents. In this way, there is sufficient time to reverse the thinking of those noble children.
If you have worked so hard to educate, but you can't reverse it, and still maintain the bad habits of two sides and three swords, don't blame Malin for giving them up. After all, no monarch wants his courtiers to fight on both sides ...
