Chapter 586 Ideas to build a metropolitan area

The promotion of any new system will encounter resistance. For example, the remote control system obviously touched the interests of the fiefdom nobles. Therefore, after Marin proposed the remote control system, he was naturally opposed.

But fortunately, most of the nobles in the North Sea Duchy of Marin were promoted from civilians by Marin. These people naturally would not oppose Marin's decision. Moreover, they did not understand how much the remote control system was to them.

After a fiefdom nobleman actually grasped the power of the fiefdom, he naturally needed to gather a team and a large group of troops to maintain the rule and security of the fiefdom. Therefore, every aristocrat with real titles was a powerful faction. Some fiefdom nobles with higher titles, because they had a complete leadership team and a strong army, became independent princes. They could even ignore the orders of the court.

The remote control system is equivalent to depriving the fief nobles of the right to recruit administrative talents and fief army in their territory. Although the profits will not be small, without the support of administrative talents and the army, it will not pose a threat to the court.

Because, under the remote control system, the officials of the fiefdom were sent by the monarch and the court, so they were naturally loyal to the court, rather than the feudal lord. The court naturally did not need the feudal lord to recruit troops themselves, but used the official army. In this way, the feudal lord lost the excuse of recruiting private troops and was unable to confront the court.

So much so that those feudal lords could only live in the capital and become rich...

Why was Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty so developed and had a large population? Because there were many nobles living in Chang'an City with fiefs but no power. Those dukes, counts, etc., although they could get a lot of wealth from fiefs every year, they did not have real power over the fiefs.

Therefore, these people could only hold a lot of money and stay in Chang'an City and wait for death. But because they had blood transfusions and supplies from fiefdoms, they were all good people who were not short of money. Such people gathered in Chang'an, which naturally greatly promoted Chang'an's consumer economy. Therefore, Chang'an seemed very prosperous.

Because Europe adopted a system of feudalism, the nobles lived in castles in their own countryside and could not be concentrated. This also caused the lack of big cities in ancient Europe. Because those rich nobles were scattered in various villages. How could the rich people develop big cities if they were not concentrated? Therefore, there were very few cities with a particularly large population in the Holy Roman Empire. Generally, those with a population of more than 20,000 are considered big cities. Even the largest city in the empire like Milan had a population of only 100,000.

Therefore, Marin's implementation of this remote control system not only included factors that restrict the strength of the nobles, but also the meaning of promoting the economic development of the capital.

These feudal lords are all rich and live in the capital. Do you think the business in the capital is not popular?

Because there are too few old nobles, they failed to stop the implementation of the remote control system. Marin was also glad that this system was implemented early. If it was delayed for several years, and his subordinates had enough to be a noble, they might also oppose the remote control system. These people are different from those old nobles. The old nobles are very powerful in the court of Marin, mainly civil servants. The new nobles under Marin are mostly middle and senior officers, and they are all masters with military power. If they oppose, Marin really cannot implement this remote control system...

...

In fact, the French were also implementing a similar system. The French king brought most of the nobles to Paris to live in, and did not allow them to return to their territory to gain real power. Although the remote control system was not clearly proposed, the situation was somewhat similar.

This also led to the fact that Paris, France gathered most of the dignitaries of the Kingdom of France. After hundreds of years of development, Paris has become the absolute center of France and the main activity and consumption place for aristocratic and rich people. Except for Paris, other areas in France are considered rural...

...

In view of these experiences in later generations, after implementing the remote control system, Marin planned to connect Orich and Emden and build an Orich-Emden metropolitan area, which is specifically used to resettle domestic powerful and wealthy businessmen.

Among them, Orich City mainly houses domestic powerful people. Port Emden mainly houses domestic big merchants. As for the two places, because it is less than 20 kilometers, Marin plans to build a wide cement road to communicate with the two cities. In this way, the transportation between the two places will be greatly convenient.

As a commercial port, Emden will definitely have merchant ships from all over the country in the future. The cane sugar and spices produced in the American colonies will definitely be at Emden in the future.

Therefore, there is no problem with Emden developing into a prosperous commercial port. After the large cement road from Orich to Emden is opened, it will be much easier to transport goods from Emden to Orich.

In this way, it will not affect the powerful people in Emden's city's enjoyment of life and use high-end goods from all over the world. After a few years, I dare not say that it is as prosperous as Paris, but it is still no problem to make the Orich-Emden metropolitan area the most prosperous metropolitan area in the German region.

Those nobles, because the estate uses high-yield fertilizers provided by Marin, the land income must be very large. Moreover, after the implementation of the remote control system, they do not need to bear the expenses of their subordinate officials and the army, and they will have more money to make up.

With these good money owners living in the Orich-Emden metropolitan area under Marin’s planning, Marin has issued preferential policies to promote business development. It is difficult for the urban area to be underdeveloped...

As for the businessmen living in Emden, most of them are not short of money as businessmen. With so many powerful and businessmen who are not short of money, and with Marin providing a good and relaxed business environment, it is difficult for this metropolitan area to be underdeveloped!

In particular, with the opening of the Münster Canal, Emden Port will also become an important seaport in the Deutsche Rhine region. At that time, Emden's commercial port will become more prosperous and prosperous.

With sufficient supply of goods and enough local consumers, it is difficult for this newly built metropolitan area to be underdeveloped...

Moreover, who is Marin? He is a time traveler from later generations! Especially, he is a time traveler from China's funeral. Marin may not be proficient in other things, but he cannot do it himself in economics and does not know how to learn from other people's experiences?

Because this metropolitan area has a sufficient number of local tyrants and commodity supply, at that time, Malin only needs to build a few commodity wholesale markets, commercial pedestrian streets, etc., which will be enough to stimulate the development of business.

Moreover, Marin plans to cancel the entry tax for Orich and Emden. This will make it easier for people to enter and exit the city. Then, the flow of people will inevitably increase. With enough flow of people and enough funds... to convert it into the prosperity of the metropolitan area, which is just around the corner...

Of course, because Orich is the capital, there are too many politicians. Although the tax on entering the city is cancelled, the security check work must be strictly controlled for the safety of the big shots. Otherwise, if the big shots are assassinated, it would be tragic...
