Just when Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici and John Tzeel were busy forming a choir, Marin was not idle either. He sent someone to send a small military band to Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici.
Although the majestic electronic music effect at the beginning of "The Mass" in later generations, most of them can still be played with orchestral instruments, such as the violin and cello that Marin "invented" by Marin. The electronic music at the beginning is replaced by drum sounds. Although the effect is much worse, it is better than not. With these orchestral instruments and drum sounds, the singing effect of "The Mass" has been increased by N times, which is extremely shocking.
Marin had long been looking forward to John Tzell's indulgence sales team to arrive in Germany as soon as possible to make money, because without John Tzell's indulgence sales team, Martin Luther's anger would not arouse Martin Luther's anger and would not be able to set off a Reformation movement.
Although Marin had sent 007 to lurk by Martin Luther and began to try to influence Martin Luther's thoughts. However, because he did not see the completely corrupt and depraved side of the church, the young Martin Luther had not yet made up his mind to break with the Roman Catholic Church. Therefore, John Tzell's indulgence sales group will be the most important part of Marin's plan - arousing Martin Luther's anger and rebellious psychology...
When the boss got angry and was heartbroken by the church, then 007 persuaded him to carry out the Reformation would go smoothly. In history, Martin Luther did not start publicly opposing indulgences until 1517. Marin didn't want to wait that long, so he planned to let Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici increase the sales scale of indulgences and go to the Saxony Electoral to sell many times. The Saxony Electoral was where Martin Luther lived. John Tzeel performed in front of Martin Luther many times, which could arouse his anger as soon as possible.
In fact, Martin Luther didn't know that Marin had prepared all the "Ninety-Five Programs" that refuted indulgences in history. Once Martin Luther discovered that Martin Luther began to hate indulgences, he would spread the contents of the "Ninety-Five Programs" to him. Then, through his own words, he spread the program.
In addition, Martin Luther's Protestant thoughts were prepared, and he was ready to let 007 secretly influence Martin Luther. Among them, the most important point was to encourage the princes to confiscate the land and property of the church...
This is very, very important because, in history, it took decades for Protestantism to allow most princes in northern Germany to accept it. Marin threw out the "confiscated church land and property" early in order to attract the princes to join Protestantism. After all, the church is rich and it would be strange if those princes were not jealous.
But Marin is very sensitive to the issue of tithes tax. Because this thing is a nuclear weapon. In history, Martin Luther agreed in principle to pay tithes tax to secular monarchs, but Marin would never agree, and would even oppose it desperately!
Why? Because Marin was worried about France! In France, the French kings can only rely on territorial output and commercial taxes and tariffs to obtain income. Therefore, the number of troops that can afford is very limited, usually only 10,000 or 20,000 people, and at most tens of thousands during the war. It can be said that due to income, France did not use the demographic dividend of 15 million people at all.
And if the French royal family could impose tithes taxes on behalf of the church, it would be terrifying! The population of the entire German population is not as large as France. If Louis XII had French tithes in hand, it would be easy to support a army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops. At that time, facing France with sufficient taxes, Marin, the time traveler, would also be trembling.
Therefore, Marin's bottom line is that you can confiscate the land and property of the church, but you must not be involved in tithes. Whoever is involved in it, even if it is the King of France, Marin will send troops to fight him to death!
...
And from now on, Marin has silently begun to prepare for religious wars...
In terms of military affairs, while training domestic police forces, Marin planned to overseas Tibetan soldiers. The American Legion was already quietly recruiting. In order not to stimulate other vassal states, Marin did not show off his banner, but sent spies to quietly penetrate into German countries, especially the southern mountainous areas, to select suitable soldiers. After recruiting, these people would be shipped to North American colonies, conduct systematic training in the early stage, and then go to fight against the Indian tribes to exercise their courage and combat capabilities. Of course,
They also need to master logging skills, because the battle to conquer North America ultimately requires cutting down forests and reclaiming cultivated land. In this way, European immigrants can gain a foothold. Otherwise, the vast forest will definitely be the home court of the Indians. Faced with the elusive archers of the Indians in the deep mountains and forests, even the most powerful army will have a headache. Therefore, Marin decided to let the army steadily and cut down trees wherever they fight. Without the cover of the forest, the Indian archers are the lambs to be slaughtered...
...
In addition to military preparations, Marin also made a lot of economic preparations. For example, his newly acquired land of the eight vassal states...
Although Marin had controlled his greed, half of the cultivated land in these eight vassal states fell into Marin's hands. The other half of the cultivated land was owned by the local church and the relatively obedient little nobles and Junker landlords.
The arable land in the eight vassal states is not a small number. According to the rough estimates of the officials under Kohler, Marin "redempted" about nearly half of the arable land in the eight vassal states from the eight vassal states and their nobles, with a total area of ​​nearly one million acres.
In other words, the half of the arable land in these eight vassal states belongs to Malin, there are nearly 6 million acres!
Apart from taking out 100,000 acres to reward the meritorious soldiers, the remaining 900,000 acres are all under Marin's name. And the autumn harvest of these lands this year will belong to Marin. Therefore, Marin is also very concerned about this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! However, for the need for confidentiality, Marin did not use a mixed fertilizer with three fertilizers on the newly acquired land of the eight countries, but only planned to use volcanic ash first on the millions of acres (including the land distributed to his subordinates) to protect the farmland. Of course, the output will not be too low. At least, it is much better than not using fertilizer.
Moreover, Marin applied not only volcanic ash to this million acres of arable land. Among these ash mined from Italy, Marin also made people stir up a lot of potassium salt. In this way, the fertility of these ash will increase greatly. At that time, the land taken by Marin and his subordinates in these eight vassal states will have more than one hundred pounds per mu. By then, more than two hundred pounds will only start, and 300 pounds per mu is not a myth. After all, volcanic ash plus potassium salt will have a high fertility enough...
However, as the French invaded the Kingdom of Naples, several volcanoes in Naples that Marin privately bought to protect him were lost. Fortunately, Marin later thought of Iceland with many volcanoes, and spent money to buy Iceland and regain the ash. With the ash with potassium salt added as fertilizer, Marin believes that the millions of arable land in the newly acquired eight countries, the yield per mu is not a problem...
In this way, Marin can also obtain high yields of newly obtained land without exposing the secrets of real fertilizers. Although it is not as good as the yield of more than 500 pounds per mu in the early four provinces that used a complete mix of three fertilizers, it is already considered high compared with the current grain yields in other European countries...
