Regarding the phenomenon of the numerous imperial free cities with independent judicial powers in Germany, Marin is very speechless. In name, they are directly under the emperor's city. But in fact, they had already spent money to redeem autonomy from the emperor, and the emperor could not control them. Only when the empire is invaded by a major foreign enemy, the emperor and the imperial assembly have the right to ask them to share military expenditures, but without sending troops.

But because the Habsburg family was resisted by most of the princes and bishops, Emperor Maximilian I wanted to collect taxes and participate in the Italian War, but was rejected. Therefore, now the imperial cities are living very well, and they don't need to pay taxes to them, and use the money for themselves. At most, let the guys in the city hall take advantage.

Moreover, the way of autonomy for imperial cities in this era is the assembly of citizens, which is very simmering. As long as you win enough people, the right to speak will be very heavy. Krupp Dad Gross, originally had good skills and prestige. Unfortunately, because of a bad temper, I always fight with people. That's why I couldn't deal with Fox, the old rival clerical officer. Fox is exquisite and exquisite, very skilled, and has more connections than Gross, so he can suppress and embarrass Gross who is a master craftsman.

Historically, it was probably during the time of Charles V that management reforms were carried out, and the Hansa parliament system of the Hanseatic League was introduced, and the political situation of the free city of the empire would change drastically. At that time, the voting system of citizens will be replaced by the Lufthansa Parliament composed of nobles and big businessmen. Then, the citizens of the imperial city lost their rights.

However, it was based on the reform plan that was forcibly passed after Charles V used force to sling France and frightened the whole of Germany. Moreover, their reform plan is also very reasonable-to elect members according to the tax amount...

You see, the noble lords and big businessmen pay more taxes than you, and are more suitable to be councillors than you... Wait... Forget it, the Crab of the River is watching...

In 1803, after the last imperial meeting, these imperial cities that were originally granted privileges were all annexed by nearby lords, leaving only Lübeck, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Augsburg, Nuremberg and Bremen. Cities. Since then, these 6 cities have been annexed one after another.

But now, in these imperial cities, the citizen class has the final say. As long as you can control more than half of the citizens, everything can be decided.

Therefore, Marin was deployed in Dortmund. A dark beer brewing factory was established there, and a large number of Dortmund citizens were recruited to work in the factory. Are you holding your own job, can you still face yourself? Even if changing the nature of Dortmund requires two-thirds of the vote, Marin is not afraid. The big deal is to open a few more factories and recruit two-thirds of the citizens to work for themselves.

It really doesn't work. If the local people don't cooperate, he can open a factory to recruit foreign workers. These non-local workers were recruited by themselves. After helping them settle down as citizens, they will definitely vote for them.

Taking advantage of the fact that the citizens are still the masters of the house, Marin feels that it is easier to deal with than the Lufthansa parliament. Because the cost of buying citizens is different from buying nobles and big businessmen.

To buy a citizen, you only need to provide a good job, and you can do it. And citizens working for you are not paid for nothing, they can also help you create value.

As for the nobles and big merchants who bought the Lufthansa Parliament, these people tended to speak loudly. Moreover, the interests of the citizens were often sold out in exchange for the satisfaction of the nobles and big merchants. However, this will cause dissatisfaction and even confusion. The convergence of interests in the hands of a small number of people is also a bad phenomenon for the monarch. This means that certain forces will grow stronger and will affect the sovereign's local control.

Therefore, Marin is willing to use his work to attract the bourgeoisie, and he is unwilling to buy off those greedy nobles and big businessmen. Moreover, those nobles and big businessmen who cooperate with them will not only ask for benefits, but also for privileges. The privilege is precisely what Marin is most reluctant to give. The bourgeoisie would not be greedy enough to demand privileges.

Of course, any city has thorns and nails. Some people don't want anything, just to find faults, just want to make a difference. In later generations, these people can be called nail households, and they can be called Gangjing online.

When encountering such a person, Marin also has a way-the immeasurable real estate developer who has learned from later generations will use gangsters to deal with them.

The immeasurable merchants may not be involved in personnel affairs if they use the chaotic. But Marin can allow Kohler to use people from intelligence agencies to pretend to be **** to combat those who refuse to cooperate. Do not fight or kill, it is disgusting. For example, it’s okay to pour some Yoneda Ko, and make noise in the middle of the night to make you unable to sleep...

what? Angry? Want to sue me? Sorry, there are no relevant regulations in this era... As for fighting... There are so many agents on my side. You are the one, single out our group?

Promiscuity methods are more difficult to deal with than hooligans, because hooligans are criminal and can be punished by law. The side ball is disgusting, but not stepping on the line will make you helpless. Of course, if the upper hand wants to wipe out the black and evil, it can also be dealt with. But the problem is that Marin is the upper hand, he instigated it...So, those who disagree with Dortmund's return to Marin will eventually be mad...Moving out of Dortmund is a way, but Marin will succeed. . Because, at the citizen assembly, it was all supporters...

Similarly, dealing with Essen is the same routine. It's just that the means are more intense than Dortmund's side. Marin even planned to use commercial means to secretly make the opponents bankrupt, and to force them out of Essen, the same goal can be achieved.

In short, Essen and Dortmund, two big cities in the Ruhr area, Marin will never allow them to get out of control.

...

The craftsmen arranged by Krupp and Director Stephen have already packed up and headed south to Essen. Marin also returned to Aurich, but Marin didn't know that in Portugal in the southwest, a message from the east caused Portugal to fry the pot...

This news is that the expeditionary fleet led by Dagama was defeated on the daimyo coast. Of the 30 warships, only 11 escaped back. It can be said that all the **** have been lost, a fiasco...

In order to shirk responsibility, Da Gama emphasized in his report that the Ming Empire had obtained the North Sea State Cannon Technology, which made it difficult for the Portuguese warships to approach Ming State’s ports and fortresses...

Then, King Manuel I of Portugal was furious-Niang Xipi, is this kid Marin preventing me from annexing Ming Kingdom?

Then, a very stern letter of credential was delivered to Marin in Aurich...

Marin was a little dumbfounded when he received Manuel I's question of the credential. He was not surprised by the result, it was all within his deduction. To his surprise-why did Portugal get the news so quickly?

The naval battle in the Deep Bay was just a few months ago, only four or five months ago. At the speed of the Portuguese ship, it will take at least 10 months to withdraw from the deep bay to the south and return to Portugal.

Marin knew the information in advance, but it was because he sent someone overland and rode a lot of horses to death before sending it to Persia. Then, from Persia to Eastern Europe by carrier pigeons, and then back to the North Sea country. Halfway through, there were dozens of pigeons eaten by hawks and falcons along the way.

But the question is, how did the Portuguese deliver the message? Are they also by land? Shouldn't...

From India by land, UU reading www. uukanshu.com has to pass through Persia first, and then enter the territory of the Mamluk dynasty. When you get to the beach, you can take a boat or use a pigeon, as long as you have more...

But the problem is that because of the occupation of the spice trade, the relationship between Portugal and Spain and the Mamluk dynasty is already poor. The Portuguese messenger passed the Mamluk dynasty chassis, and it is estimated that he would be hacked to death directly, without giving a chance to explain. After all, the two fangs robbed the Mamluk dynasty spice trade, which was tantamount to breaking their fortune...

Therefore, the Portuguese should not be able to pass the news by land, and then receive the news so quickly...

The only way to receive intelligence within 5 months is to go overland quickly. Moreover, carrier pigeons were used. But neither the Persian nor the Mamluk dynasty would let the Portuguese messenger pass by. Because the relationship between Portugal and the Safavid dynasty of Persia was not good. In 1507, Portugal invaded Persian Hormuz...

Marin was puzzled... Did the Portuguese use radio?
