Chapter 625: Hot Selling "The Origin of European Nation"
phone-reading
Unconsciously, Marin ordered the sales of 5,000 German editions of the European Nation Origins Test, and through the relationship of the church, quickly sold out in the German region.
Because of the low price, this book sells well. At the current high paper prices in Europe, Marin's pricing for this book is not profitable at all.
But where others know, the paper mill in Cape Breton Island owned by Marin, because of the advanced pulp processing technology, makes the cost of paper very low. The price of two shillings and one book seems to be a loss, but in fact the profit is still very large.
Marin remembered that British newspapers sold one shilling before the advanced papermaking technique in the mid-19th century. However, after the physical and chemical treatment of pulp in the mid-19th century came out, the price of newspapers fell sharply, directly to the level of a penny, and it fell by 12 times.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, this "European Nation Origins Test", which does not make money or even lose money, is actually very profitable.
Because Marin vigorously promoted the behavior of the Germanic people, the Germans who had read this book were very satisfied and proud. The missionaries didn't think anything, but the nobles and knights, after seeing Marin appraising the Germans, including the Germans, as "fighting nations", got upright ...
"Haha, we are 'fighting nations'! Just for this conclusion, drink a big glass!" In many pubs, some knights who drank were proud of Marin's conclusion.
The knights survived by bravery and were proud of bravery. Marin defined the Germans as a "fighting nation", which directly found the knights from the pedigree. This greatly satisfied the vanity of the German knights, so Marin's book quickly sold out ...
Then, those merchants who had helped Malin to sell books reluctantly immediately sent someone to inform Malin-hurry up and print!
So, the printing plant started again ...
Fortunately, those type molds are still there, and they have not been re-separated. Therefore, there is no need to re-typeset for overprinting, just print with ink.
Marin had long known that this book would cause a sensation. You must know that in the 20th century, the head of the mustache relied on this set and gained huge support in Germany. It is now the 16th century, the age of war, and it is estimated that those knights will follow this book even more.
Sure enough, those knights and belligerent nobles, after reading this "European Nation Origins Test", were proud, and everybody boasted of being a "warrior nation" warrior.
Um, this nation is already a fighting nation, and the knights are the best among the fighting nation ... Oh, mother, this is going to go to heaven ...
Because Marin mentioned in the "European National Origin Test"-the Germanic people are the strongest "pea" that God has spread to Northern Europe and Central Europe, and God has given courage and strength. Therefore, now the knights drink and talk with the nobles, and like to quote these words.
For example, at some banquets, some German nobles will proudly announce-"We are the strongest" pea "sown by God ..."
And many knights bragging now, will also say-"We have been given the courage and strength by God, so we are the strongest warriors of the" fighting nation "..."
Because of this book, it is said that the business of the German beer hall is 20% better. The knights sipped beer lavishly, boasting about their glorious history and the pride of being a warrior in the "fighting nation."
Even those civilians who are not knights, drinking together in the beer hall and listening to the bragging of the knight masters, are also honourable. After all, the old knights have said-we are "fighting nations". Although not a warrior like the knights, but also a part of the fighting nation, not to mention, men just want to fight! To fight, cheers ...
Therefore, the business of the German beer hall is much better. Of course, there are many more drunk and troublesome men. Many German men, after being drunk, shouted "fighting nation" in their mouths, fighting with people ...
Therefore, at the same time that the German beer was selling, there were many more fights and fights. After all, it is a "fighting nation" ... if you don't accept it, you will do it!
This also led to the fact that many passionate young men were fooled and chose the dangerous profession of mercenary. After all, if the "fighting people" don't fight as soldiers, wouldn't that seem unworthy of the name?
Then, many young people in the southern mountains went to Marin ’s recruiting office in the southern mountains to ask:
"Hey, brother, does your Grand Duke still recruit?"
The people in the office are stunned-I have never heard of Dagong wanting to recruit soldiers.
Marin received the news is also a bit dumb-what's the matter? Difficult moral will nation is really a fighting nation? Actually, there is a young farmer who wants to be a soldier to sell his life?
After sending someone to investigate, Marin could not help crying and discovering-it turned out to be the trouble caused by the "European Nation Origins".
However, this does not seem to be a bad thing ...
Why? Marin thought about it, I do n’t know when the war will happen again in the future ... It ’s no harm to absorb some fresh blood ...
Moreover, this time, Marin is not recruiting regular troops, but intends to recruit a batch of reserve legions ...
What is a reserve legion? It's actually a militia ...
The so-called militia refers to the two types of arms that usually cultivate land and take up weapons to participate in combat during wartime.
Among them, the "normally planting land" is very important. Because Marin Xin acquired a lot of land, but unfortunately, lack of labor. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit a batch of labor to help farming.
It is a pity that Marin has recruited many people before recruiting the poor. Most of the people recruited before were mostly poor people who could not survive. They had to leave their hometowns and had to follow Marin.
But this time was different. Those young men who volunteered to join the army might not be able to live in poverty. They just took the blood for a while and wanted to fight, instead of being forced to leave their hometown to make a living.
So, Marin ’s plan is to—regardless of how, in the name of recruiting people, cheat these people over and say ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Then, give them a militia status. But in fact, they usually help Marin's manor to grow land ...
Of course, Marin will not treat these guys badly. If there are singles, Marin can also help to buy some Maomei to be their wives. Moreover, their usual food is definitely better than being a serf in the south. After all, the softer "Kohler bread" with straw bran is enough. Moreover, during the holidays, they can also be distributed to salted fish to eat ... Imagine, in this era, how many serfs can make enough bread, but also send salted fish during the holiday?
In this way, through this shareholder style, Marin can deceive many passionate youths to come and help them to cultivate a large area of land, and become a serf in disguise.
Of course, Marin is not completely not giving opportunities. Among these newly recruited youths, if they find good seedlings, they can also choose to join the regular army and receive favorable treatment. As for general performance, let's be honest militia. Help yourself to farm in peacetime, and pull out to practice during farming. When war breaks out, it may not be used to fight tough battles. However, there is no problem in handing over the rear city to their station ...
...
In addition, because of the popularity of the "European National Origin Test" in Germany, Marin was also surprised to find that-many German aristocrats and knights have greatly changed their perception of Marin, and many people have greatly increased their favor of Marin ...
It's no wonder that Moustache relied on advocating the excellence of the German nation, but it attracted a large number of brains and diehards. Although Marin does not attract any brain remnants and diehards, it is also beneficial to gain the favor of a large number of nobles and knights. The most direct benefit is that when one group is beaten in the future, there will be many nobles who have a good opinion of themselves and will not participate ...
