The Rise of the European Emperor

Because it takes time to make Martin Luther famous, James Bond deliberately delayed the progress of Martin Luther's publication of the program under Marin's instigation.

Of course, Bond has good reason too. He believes that Martin Luther should not only criticize the sale of indulgences, but also avoid confrontation with the Holy See. After all, the Holy See still has a great influence in the German region without having experienced a religious war. If you are not careful, it is easy to lose yourself.

Therefore, Bond suggested that Martin Luther target Tezel, the emissary who sold indulgences in Germany, and even the Cardinal Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici (that is, the future Pope Leo X) should be avoided.

Because, as the general of the intelligence department, Bond has heard that Marin intends to support Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici's election for the next Pope. Therefore, shooting Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici at this time will undoubtedly affect his campaign for Pope.

Therefore, the best way is to put all the shit on Tetzel's head, pretending that the Pope and Archbishop Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici were deceived. In this way, given the two big bosses to step down, the two big bosses will not tear up their faces and want to kill Martin Luther.

Martin Luther was not happy at first, but after talking about the matter with Frederick III, Frederick III also very much agreed to avoid the two big men. After all, the Holy See is powerful now, and the princes are not willing to turn against the Holy See easily.

Moreover, Bond also proposed to oppose indulgences first. After the influence has grown and there are a large number of supporters, the idea of ​​letting the princes "take over" (confiscate) most of the property (mainly real estate) of the local church and take over the collection of tithes is proposed.

In this way, the Holy See will not realize the seriousness of it from the beginning. By the time I react, it's already too late...

"Talent!" Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, looked at Bond with admiration. I thought it was a silver player, but I didn't expect it to be a diamond...

But how did he know that although Bond was clever and clever, he still couldn't think of such a brilliant idea. All of this was instructed by Marin. He just learns faster and executes better.

Frederick III had the idea of ​​soliciting, but how dare Bond agree? His family is still in Beihai. Besides, what's so good about being a priest? Wouldn't it be nice to have a hereditary nobleman for future generations? Marin agreed, and if the mission is successful, he can be arranged to go to America as a hereditary baron lord. This is much more enjoyable than being a priest, and it is very attractive to Bond who was born as a serf. Moreover, he did not dare to betray Marin...

Martin Luther saw that the most respected Frederick III also supported this point of view, so he stopped insisting. Second, he began to improve and revise the program to make it more moderate, so as to avoid a direct conflict with the Holy See. And Bond, also achieved the purpose of delaying the process.

...

As time went by, the spring plowing in Beihai was also in full swing. This time, it's very different. Thanks to the Prader plow trucks with 6 to 12 horses, this spring plowing was very efficient. The three plowshares of this kind of plow cart work together, and with more horses and great power, it can plow 20 to 30 mu of land every day, which is five or six times more efficient than the previous two-horse single plowshare. Two horses and one plowshare were originally used to cultivate one acre of land per day (6 mu, and the unit of acre came from this way). However, the arable land of a single cow is only three or four acres per day, and the efficiency is even slower. Compared with ox plowing, the Prader plow truck is more than 7 times faster than ox plowing...

With such a high efficiency, the spring plowing in Beihai country is very fast. The original amount of arable land in one or two months was completed in less than half a month.

This is also due to the worry that there is too much arable land, not enough labor to serve and harvest, and there is not enough fertilizer. If there were no restrictions on population and fertilizers, let alone 20 million mu, 30 million mu could be reclaimed.

...

However, because of some things that happened before, Marin suddenly changed his mind...

For what? It was because of the previous matter about wanting to relocate the Principality of Ryazan to St. Petersburg.

At that time, Marin came up with the British two-field system that was popular in Britain in the 19th century.

This idea was originally intended to replace the use of fertilizers. After all, whether it is leguminous alfalfa that can fix nitrogen, or sheep dung and cow dung, they can all be fertilized.

Marin suddenly thought—why can't we implement the British-style second nursery system locally?

The reason why he wants to implement the British-style two-field system is not to "restore soil fertility", but to obtain enough fertilizer. After all, cattle and sheep are capable of producing a lot of manure. Moreover, the feces of cattle and sheep can be directly fermented and used to raise earthworms. It’s not like human beings, it still needs to be dealt with, it’s really troublesome.

Thus, the spring plowing in Beihai was interrupted halfway...

Marin made urgent adjustments—the 6 million mu of original cultivated land under his name and the newly reclaimed 4 million mu of land, a total of 10 million mu of land, were re-planned.

The plan requires that all manors under the name of Marin must set aside the most barren area for planting alfalfa and raising sheep and horses. Of course, raising cows is fine too.

Needless to say, sheep can shear wool, produce goat milk, and eat mutton. Well, sheep manure can also be produced for raising earthworms. Needless to say, horses are now popular in arable land, and the importance of horses has greatly increased.

The Eastern European Mongolian horse (refer to the Don horse) that is currently popular in Beihai country usually does not need to eat food, just eat grass, and only needs to be fed when working, which is very cost-effective.

Now, the horses in Beihai are mainly Eastern European Mongolian horses that can be mixed with grass, and Eastern European Mongolian horses crossed with local draft horses. Anyway, they are all grass-eating horses, and they don't need to be fed a lot of food like European native horses.

Although the breed of Mongolian horses in Eastern Europe is not as tall and strong as the native European horses, there is no need to feed them! How expensive is food in Europe? You don't need to feed food at ordinary times, saving your old nose money!

Therefore, an ordinary manor can raise dozens of horses without spending too much. It can be pulled out to plow the land during spring plowing, and it can also be pulled by a cart when there is nothing to do. Of course, when plowing the land and pulling carts, we still need to feed some grain. Of course, it can be fed with forage.

As for cows... It seems that they are not very useful, but cows are still useful. Milk can nourish children, and can also produce dairy products such as cream and cheese.

In addition, the excrement of horses, cattle and sheep has a magical use-as fuel!

Yes, you can learn from the Mongols, drying sheep dung, cow dung and horse dung as fuel for cooking!

The Mongolian grassland is a semi-arid grassland, deserts are very common, and there are no trees at all. So, no firewood to burn. As for hay, in winter, cattle and sheep should be given priority to eat, so who would be willing to burn it?

The dried manure of horses, cattle and sheep can be directly used as fuel for burning because there is a lot of cellulose left.

Of course, this depends on the region. If it is an inland area, there are more forests, so it is not uncommon to burn this, just pick up some dead branches and leaves to start the fire.

However, there is one area that is short of firewood, and that is - the Netherlands!

The Netherlands area is a plain near the sea and is very densely populated. Therefore, the trees and the like have basically been cut down. This also led to the lack of firewood fuel in the plains of the Netherlands.

If it is a city with well-developed transportation, you can transport some briquettes to light the fire. But rural farms have inconvenient road transportation. Instead of spending money to buy coal, it is better to dry some horse, cattle and sheep dung and directly burn it.

There is no way, even if Marin vigorously builds roads, he can only build roads to various towns and villages in the countryside at most, which will be troublesome. Even in later generations of China, it was only after 2010, when the economy was very developed, that concrete roads were connected to every village. This is still the eastern region, and many places in the west have not been realized until Marin crosses.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to have access to every village, and Marin can't afford the money. The inland areas of Germany are okay, and dirt roads can also be used. And in the seaside areas of the Netherlands like West Frisia, the climate is humid and rainy, and the dirt roads will be muddy after it rains. It would be bad if we waited for the briquettes and briquettes to pass.

Therefore, it is better to raise more horses, cattle and sheep, and use dry dung as firewood. In this way, can also save a lot of trouble. Moreover, the source is simple and cost-free.

The burned dry manure can also be collected and used to raise earthworms. At most, it is necessary to add more rotten impurities such as dead grass and leaves to increase the taste of earthworms.

Marin estimated that if enough horses, cattle and sheep could be raised, not only would the problem of insufficient fertilizer be solved, but also a lot of wool, milk, meat, and horses for use could be produced.

At that time, once a war breaks out, Marin can easily collect a large number of horses from the people to facilitate the march and transportation of supplies. Moreover, by relying on these horses, many cavalry seeds can be cultivated...

However, because of the rush to change plans. Therefore, Marin did not have time to promote this British-style two-yard system in time this time.

So, it counts as much as you can promote. As for the area changed to a pasture, it is also resigned. Of course, it cannot be said to be changed to pastures, but to change the unused wasteland and some relatively barren areas not close to the river to pastures.

Moreover, like the European and American farms of later generations, fences must be built in each pastoral area. In this way, it is possible to prevent horses, cattle and sheep from breaking through the boundary between arable land and pastoral areas, and running to plowed areas to eat wheat seedlings...

All in all, everything seemed too rushed. But Marin is not in a hurry, and it is only a temporary idea now. For real standardization, it is estimated that the re-planning will have to wait until next year's spring plowing.

Even the locations of some manors have to be adjusted. After all, in the future, a large area will be designated to raise horses, cattle and sheep, and the layout of the manor will not be the same as before. Because horses, cattle and sheep are important property, it is necessary to prevent loss and theft. Therefore, the manor is best built on the boundary line between the farming area and the pastoral area. In this way, arable land and pastoral areas can be taken into account at the same time.

As for the houses in the original manor... To be honest, the cost of the adobe houses promoted by Marin before was also very low, and it would not cost much money to abandon the new construction.

Of course, if there is a new building, because the manors all over the country have accumulated a little capital, they can repair the house better.

All in all, the future Beihai manors, especially the manors under the name of Marin, will see the phenomenon of farming and animal husbandry going hand in hand. Cultivated land is the main area, supplemented by animal husbandry. Animal husbandry mainly provides raw materials for fertilizers, and can also produce a large amount of meat and by-products, comprehensively increasing the output of the manor...
