Chapter 858: The Swedes bowed their heads

Since having little Mary, Marin has been overjoyed. Every time after work, Marin likes to hold his daughter and walk around the backyard of the palace to make her happy.

This made Angela eat a little vinegar:

"Honey, I want to have a daughter too!"

Marin was startled and exclaimed:

"Don't!"

"Why? Don't you like your daughter very much? Angela was puzzled.

Marin smiled bitterly:

"The daughter born to Felise is not a genuine daughter after all. Even if I dot on her again, she is not a famous princess of the Beihai country. Therefore, in the future, when Ma Li marries, it is very easy to send it, and she can marry a baron, a viscount or something. But if you give birth to a daughter, you will be a princess. If you want to marry in the future, you will also be a prince and prince. ”

"yes, isn't that great?" Angela didn't understand what Marlin was trying to say.

Marin hugged little Mary and shook it, and continued:

"Have you forgotten how Anne got married? That's a dowry of fifty carts...... If you give me more daughters, I'll go bankrupt just by paying the dowry......" Marin said with trepidation.

Angela rolled her eyes - so you were worried about this...... But it's too stingy, and if it gets out, it will be embarrassing......

But Marlin also has a point, little Mary is not a princess with a name. When the time comes, it will be good to marry a baron, after all, it is an illegitimate daughter. And marrying a baron, and not having the title of princess, the dowry naturally does not need a lot......

Some people may say - in history, didn't Felice marry a great Italian nobleman for the second time? The children of the previous Pope Alexander VI were also wealthy......

However, things can't be said of this. Why? Because Julius II and Alexander VI were both popes and had no legitimate children. For them, illegitimate children are the only children. The status of the pope is extraordinary, and the resources are very abundant. But because there are no legitimate children, resources can only be given to illegitimate children. Therefore, the illegitimate children of the Pope will also have a good life.

But the aristocracy is different, and the nobles themselves have legitimate children. Most of their resources are for legitimate children. Not to mention that the resources of the nobles themselves may not be able to catch up with the pope, and the fact that most of the resources are taken away by the legitimate children is doomed to the illegitimate children of the nobles, and they are destined to get no good resources.

Not to mention the princes of Marin, even if he is a king, his illegitimate daughter may not be able to marry a big nobleman like a duke and earl. Why? Because you are willing to marry, people may not want to marry......

After all, both dukes and counts are considered top nobles. This kind of big aristocratic family has its own pride. The object of their marriage is not even considered by the little nobles, let alone the identity of an illegitimate daughter who can't be on the stage?

Therefore, even if she is the illegitimate daughter of a king, she can generally only marry a nobleman like a baron. And those barons who were willing to marry the king's illegitimate daughter generally had the idea of seeking progress. After all, marrying the illegitimate daughter of the king and being reused is also a matter of course, this is a quid pro quo......

Of course, there are also those through land compensation. For example, the declining baronial family, there are too few fiefs. At this time, the king can marry his illegitimate daughter to him, and then compensate the other party with more fiefs. After all, for a king, cash may not be much, but land is definitely enough. It's a big deal, seal more wasteland, and don't want money anyway......

So, don't look at Little Mary so favored now, but the cost of marrying when she grows up really won't be too high. After all, Marin's Grand Duchy of the North Sea also has a lot of land. At most, when the time comes, compensate a certain baron for more land. Anyway, the big nobles can't marry, and the barons can still do.

……

The words have been explained to this part, and the jealousy in Angela's heart is naturally gone. Because Marin clearly told him that neither Robert, Jack Ma nor Mary would touch the big cake that belonged to Caesar.

Moreover, the reason why Angela was able to tolerate Robert living in the palace was also because Marin told him that he planned to promote Robert as the pope in the future.

If Robert really could become pope as Marin said, then it would be of great help to Caesar and even Caesar's son. Not to mention anything else, now Angela's father, Pope Julius II, is of great help to Marin. Therefore, it is also necessary to keep Robert in the royal palace and strengthen the brotherhood with Caesar......

……

The time of production of Felise is in late September, which coincides with the autumn harvest in the North Sea Country. Of course, it's only that the autumn harvest has begun in parts of the North Sea Country.

This is because the former East Frisian region of the North Sea State, including Schleswig, Oldenburg and North Münster, used fertilizers, including phosphate fertilizers, which led to rye ripening earlier than in other regions. After all, the important role of phosphate fertilizer is early maturity. Or, to put it the other way around, phosphate fertilizers work to prevent crops from growing slowly......

Now, Marlin is not very interested in the autumn harvest or something. Anyway, it's going to be a bumper harvest. If it doesn't have a good harvest, he's weird. After all, as long as there are no major droughts and floods, there is no big problem with food.

Moreover, drought is largely absent in northern Germany. Even if there is a drought, there are large rivers such as the Ames River that regulate the amount of water. As for the floods, it's a bit bit, but it doesn't seem to be much......

Floods in Germany are mainly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of larger rivers such as the Rhine. As for rivers like the Ames River, it seems that the amount of water is not large enough, and the number of floods is relatively low.

Generally speaking, droughts occur in areas where precipitation is scarce and rivers are insufficient, such as northern China. Floods, on the other hand, mostly occur in areas with a lot of precipitation and large river volumes, such as the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River......

In the North Sea Country of Marin, there are many small and medium-sized rivers flowing through the North Sea, so droughts are rare. As for the floods, because the river does not have much water, it seems that there is relatively little.

However, with the acquisition of the land on the east bank of the Rhine, I am afraid that there will be many flooding problems in the future. After all, the Rhine is a big river.

……

As October approaches, the autumn harvest season in Europe is about to begin. Just when everyone was in full swing preparing for the autumn harvest, the Swedes were in a hurry......

Why the hurry? Because the power of the Kingdom of Sweden is basically surrounded in Stockholm, and Finland has not been invaded.

However, the best part of Sweden is the southern part of the country, which is currently occupied by the Danish army......

Sweden is a high-latitude country, and most of the area is not very suitable for agriculture, only the southern part of the country, which is about the same latitude as Denmark, is a bit agricultural.

But now, the autumn harvest season is about to start in October. But Sweden's agricultural production areas are currently occupied by Denmark.

In other words, when the autumn harvest begins, it will be the Danes who will preside over the harvest of the Swedish crops. Would the Danes be kind enough to harvest the crops and return them to the Swedes? Apparently impossible!

Therefore, if it drags on any longer, Sweden's autumn harvest this year will be swallowed by Denmark......

Therefore, Sweden is in a hurry......

In addition to the imminent loss of crops, Sweden's Faylon copper mine is currently occupied by Danish troops. The copper ingots mined and smelted were also taken by the Danes......

In this desperate situation, the Swedes finally bowed their heads and sent people to the North Sea Country to ask Marin to mediate and end the war as soon as possible......

In fact, the Danes had long told the Swedes that they could go to Marin for mediation. At the same time, Lübeck and Hamburg also hinted that Marin needed to intervene in this matter......

The Swedes, however, were not very happy. Why? Because once the Kingdom of Sweden asked Marin to intermediate, then the issue of the shares of the Fayilun copper mine had to be discussed. Because, Fayilun copper ore was developed by the Marin faction. Previously, Marin also owned half of the copper mine's revenue.

Now, if Marin is invited to come forward, half of the income may be spit out, which is difficult for the Swedish nobles to accept. After all, these greedy nobles are used to swallowing and not used to spitting out......

However, things have come to the point where all the food in Sweden will go to Denmark. Therefore, before the autumn harvest, the Swedes had to bow their heads and send someone to ask Marin to act as a mediator. At the same time, they are also mentally prepared for bloodletting......
