Chapter 1691: Silent

The nobles also have a face, that is, they care about the so-called "honor". They could not just say that they feared that Marin had destroyed the original social order, nor could they say that Marin's appointment of a civilian general had broken the future of the noble children of the noble. Therefore, they can only grasp the more obvious black point of "Marin is the dog leg of the emperor, and may help the emperor to unify Germany".

And under the public opinion, many people who do not know the truth still think it is true. Even Marin believed it to be true and thought he was dragged down by the emperor. Where did he know that the princes were just worried that too much Marin appeared in this world, and replaced them. At the same time, many veteran nobles are also worried that their children without inheritance rights at home cannot find work. Therefore, most old aristocrats are so hostile to Marin.

After all, Marin still endangers the survival of many noble children. Not every child of the nobility has the ability, or that most of the children of the nobility are actually very poor. If the inferior "inferior people" can casually take their heads, and even become princes, how can these incompetent "blood noble" people still live?

Even though Marin is smart among the traversers, he has long been accustomed to the modern thinking of "equality for all" and "being capable and being mediocre" in later generations because of cultural differences of hundreds of years I didn't even notice how much impact the aristocrats in this era of partying had.

Not to mention that the incompetent nobles felt threatened, even those powerful nobles were very dissatisfied with it. After all, who doesn't have a few incompetent dudes? Being capable of yourself does not mean that future generations are capable. Marin replaced the incompetent noble children with powerful civilian children, and it was just to smash the rice bowls of most noble children!

In this era, it is because of the inheritance system of "the eldest son takes all". Therefore, the noble children who are not eldest sons are very sad. Only a small part of them can take refuge in the family because of their strong family, and continue to eat and die. For example, the other sons of the king and the duke can still eat together and die together anyway. The less wealthy noble families, or the noble families with lower ranks, the other sons can only go abroad to make a living. There are two main directions for earning a living-one is to serve as a subordinate to his elder brother or other nobles. After all, in this era, most Europeans are illiterate, and noble children are literate. As long as you do n’t die, you can basically get a job of one official and one half.

This is somewhat similar to that before the ancient Tang Dynasty in China. Because the family monopolized knowledge, the children of the family could always get a full-time job. However, Marin taught civilians literacy and promoted civilians to become officers and even civil servants, which is equivalent to smashing the rice bowl of noble children.

Although it is reasonable for Marin to select capable persons for key positions, in the eyes of those nobles, it is equivalent to letting the noble children of outstanding ability die. For them, failure to hold official positions and obtain glory and prosperity is tantamount to letting them die ...

The Sui Dynasty created the imperial examination system just to break the monopoly of the officials on the family. As a result, those families did not say anything on the surface, but stabbed hard in their backs, and tossed a strong Sui dynasty.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and the family also went through a series of struggles and still failed to achieve full success. Sometimes, Li Shimin also has to make some concessions. It was not until Wu Zetian came to power that he relied on disgraceful means such as encouraging whistleblowers to frame up and kill a lot of people.

Similarly, when Marin hit the rice bowl of noble children like this, the resistance encountered at the beginning was definitely huge. Just as he planned to recruit soldiers and immigrants, he was opposed and obstructed by many princes.

Fortunately, the Beihai Kingdom, like the Tang Dynasty, was strong and strong, and was not afraid of such opposition and obstruction. However, there were many troubles in the early stage, which is inevitable.

As for the other way out of the nobility of the nobility, it is more helpless, that is-to become a priest ...

Becoming a priest can save a lot of money for marriage and marriage, and it is a favorite method for poor princes. After all, the marriage of princes and princes is not a joke, and the cost is amazing. Just as Denmark married a princess to King James III of Scotland, the result was that she couldn't afford a dowry, and she ceded the Shetland Islands and the Orkney Islands directly to the Kingdom of Scotland.

Of course, because it is too dangerous to have children in this era, it is difficult to give birth to the queen. Therefore, the princesses are not worried about marrying. Especially the successor room of the monarch who is the dead queen does not need much dowry.

But the princes in the poor prince's family were out of luck. They could not share their family property with their other sons, nor could they afford the high cost of getting married. Therefore, some nobles simply made the sons of non-eldest sons priests. Of course, because of the aristocratic status, the start was not an ordinary priest, but a senior priest with a certain status. For example, the relatives of the Pope became even more powerful as priests. They directly shaded and became a cardinal ... Although the princes are not so cattle, it is still possible to ask the church for a low position.

Even some noble children (mainly from the German region) became senior priests and could still run for church princes in the German princehood. After becoming a prince of the church, he can also subsidize the original raise. For example, Bishop Conrad, who previously served as Bishop of Münster ...

Of course, making your son a priest is a very helpless choice. Under normal circumstances, most noble children, the most important way out, or to become an official. After all, they were of noble origin and culture.

After all, if you let your son be a priest, there is no legitimate heir. Once the eldest son is gone, the fief will fall into the hands of other families. Therefore, the average family is less than a last resort, and will not let his son be a priest. What he is afraid of is the family heir. Unless there are too many sons and there are several, they will choose one or two to be priests.

But if you are not a priest, you have to be an official and have a decent position. Therefore, the nobles naturally do not allow civilians and they to seize the official position. Even a desperate military officer on the battlefield is a carrot and a pit, how can civilians be robbed? Malin's behavior of letting civilians hold civil and military posts annoys them ...

They did not want their children to become officials in Beihai, but they were afraid that Marin would take the lead and let other princes follow suit.

If the North Sea country is still the East Frisian Lambert with only more than 3,000 square kilometers, they might not care much. However, Marin's current North Sea country has an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers, and it will almost account for a quarter of the area of ​​the Holy Roman Empire. The impact is really too great.

Therefore, many aristocrats did not mention this matter tacitly, but used the name of "Emperor Running Dog" to black Marin to death ...

...

Because Marin's thoughts were influenced by modern thoughts, he could not perceive them. And his two allied consciousness refused to tell him ...

Whether it is Emperor Maximilian I or John II, Duke of Cliff of the Lamarck family, it is clear why Marin was hacked ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After all, these two are old foxes.

However, both chose not to tell Marin the truth ...

Why? Maximilian I believes that Marin's hostility against the princes will help the Habsburgs to win over Marin. Otherwise, if Marin and the princes are reconciled, the Habsburg family will not only lose one strong aid, but also one more strong enemy. Therefore, Maximilian I will tell Marin the truth unless he is nervous!

And John II, Duke of Cliff, although married to the Hoffman family, but the Principality of Cliff and the North Sea State are close to each other, the Lamarck family is actually insecure. After all, the military power of the North Sea State is too strong.

If Marin reconciled with most of the princes, by then, if the North Sea country sent troops to annex the Principality of Cliff, it is estimated that no one came forward to help speak. And Marin and the princes are hostile, it is in the interest of the Lamarck family. Because most of the princes are hostile to Beihai, Marin needs the support of allies. Otherwise, everyone is friendly to Marin, the Lamarck family has little use value for the North Sea country, and if it is annexed, it is annexed ...

Therefore, the two major allies of Marin, knowing the important reason for the poor relationship between Marin and the princes, but invariably chose to be silent ... because it is good for them not to mention this ...
