Although France began to liberate serfs since the 12th and 13th centuries, there were still many remnants of French serfdom until now. Historically, France basically completed the liberation of serfs until the mid-16th century. However, there were still a large number of remnants. Until the outbreak of the French Revolution, millions of serfs still existed in France.

Of course, most of the remaining serfs during the French Revolution came from the lands that Lorraine, Artsace and Francheconte snatched back from the German region. After all, the German region did not resolve the serfdom until the 19th century.

But now, in addition to the above three unobtained areas, there are also many remnants of serfdom in other areas. In the early 16th century, it was the last struggle of serfdom. However, this final struggle and a return to the future is extremely great.

For example, who is willing to liberate their own serfs in France? After all, when using serfs to work, the land income is mostly own, and only very limited food and other living materials are needed. If you hire farmers to work, not only do you have to share a lot of money, but also free farmers are not under the command of the lord. People do what they want to do, and leave directly if they don’t want to do it.

The French feudal nobles were naturally very unhappy about this. However, due to the law, they were not willing to force the peasants to be serfs.

Moreover, because of their low cultural level, the French rural nobles really couldn't think of any conspiracy to deal with the peasants.

But ancient China was different. In ancient China, conspiracies and tricks emerged from the Warring States Period. Then, most of the landlords were literati with bad waters. These people were very smart and good at using rules to persecute farmers and steal their fields within the scope permitted by the law. Europeans at the same time obviously lacked such wisdom. It was not until the 18th century that Europeans began to become popular with conspiracies.

But now, Marin introduced these conspiracies to these greedy French feudal nobles three hundred years in advance, which immediately aroused their praise and pursuit. Then, the two sides hit it off.

Subsequently, the greedy nobles in northeastern France conducted private connections and unified lending methods and profits. Faced with farmers, they all adopted the profit-making lending model of 15% monthly interest, and the starting point was 12 months, which is 5.35 times the annual interest.

Even the bishops and monasteries of the local church were attracted by them and formed a united front to exploit farmers.

Then, a mysterious merchant organization called the "Paris Chamber of Commerce" (actually created by the Paris branch of the North Sea Association) joined forces with most of the land nobles and monasteries in the disaster area in northeastern France to provide local farmers with usury without mortgage. Moreover, the attitude was very good. Not only did the monthly interest rate be given, but the affected farmers did not have to rush to repay the loan...

Soon, a Jewish businessman in the Ardennes who also worked as a loan shark discovered the truth about the profits of the lending alliance. So he told it in public. But the next day, the whole family of the Jewish businessman was killed, and the food used for lending was also looted. Subsequently, the local judge closed the case in a hurry and announced that the family was killed by a hungry mob...

After this incident, no businessman dared to come forward to criticize the lending alliance. Even the businessman who was also engaged in lending business had no background and chose to escape from the disaster area. Because they realized that if they got involved, they might die...

In ancient times, when natural disasters broke out, it was also a period of high incidence of criminal cases. Just for stuttering, life cases could occur anytime and anywhere. Moreover, it was difficult to investigate cases at this time, and many cases were left unresolved. Because, during the disaster period, population movement was extremely large, and it was extremely difficult to investigate cases...

There were no professional criminal police in ancient times, and there was no DNA firmness and fingerprint recognition technology. In ancient times, when investigating cases, they usually first investigate habitual criminals and then investigate migrant populations. At the same time, they were looking for witnesses. However, during the famine period, the population was extremely mobile, and ancient police had extremely low ability to handle cases. Many ancient policemen were even gangsters recruited by sheriffs, so naturally they could not find anything. After all, they were not professional enough.

During this chaotic period, the powerful nobles naturally allowed them to play their own way. Soon, most of the victims borrowed food and seeds under the slander. A small number of those who did not borrow were quietly reminded by those who were interested. After all, although some smart people who saw the problem did not dare to make a statement, they must quietly remind their relatives and friends.

But this cannot affect the overall situation. Most local farmers do not know what they know and no one dares to remind them. Naturally, they all jumped into the pit and couldn't extricate themselves.

...

In fact, Marin not only took action in France, but also in Italy...

Before, Marin had not looked down on Italians very much and did not want to accept Italian immigration. However, since Felis was pregnant and asked for the title of Earl of Uruguay for his unborn child, he had casually expressed his intention to immigrate from Italy, and he opened a window for Marin...

Yes, the Italians in later generations were indeed funny and unreliable. However, that was caused by Italian culture. If a colonial country was established with Italians as the main body, it would certainly be unreliable. However, what if a country was established with German culture as the main body and some Italians...

In this era, Europe did not have any nationalism. In the Italian region, Italians themselves were used to being divided and did not think that Italy wanted to unify anything.

In fact, in this era, not only did the Italians not have a unified national consciousness, but no one in the German region thought that Germany should be unified. Only ambitious monarchs like Maximilian I had the ambition to unify Germany.

Therefore, even if Italians are not reliable, at worst, let German culture replace their original culture. One generation of Italian immigrants cannot do it. After school education, the second generation of Italian immigrants should be fine. After several generations of education, Italians become German and are not that funny.

After all, whether it is the funny Italians in later generations or the unreliable black uncles, it is also determined by their unreliable cultural atmosphere. Just like the famous black president Obaniu, who grew up in a private school that cultivated elites in the United States since he was a child, he was obviously much more rational than ordinary black people. It is obvious that Comrade Obaniu was not influenced by the unreliable black culture, so he achieved such achievements.

Similarly, Italians are not stupid, they are just timid and timid because of cultural issues. But when it comes to cultural levels, Italians are actually not worse than other European countries. What makes them really funny is war, not technology.

You know, Italian technology is actually very good. Not to mention the luxury cars such as Ferrari in later generations, just Li Yunlong's words "Second Battalion Commander, where is your special mother's Italian cannon?" means that Italy's technology level is still good.
