Occupy the pit...... It took a long time to check the information in this chapter, and it may take half an hour to change it back. Please refresh in half an hour, sorry, I'll hurry up and continue writing......

Vladislas II coughed, also seemingly embarrassed. Then, he glanced to the side. Uglauy, Count of Pécs in the Kingdom of Hungary, cleared his throat and said:

"That's right, Grand Duke Marin, we've heard that when you received prisoners of war from the Duchy of Württemberg, you paid 30 gold coins per household. But why is it reduced to 10 gold per household? Do you think that the Hungarians are inferior to the Germans? But the Lord taught us that 'God loves all men equally', and that Hungarians are also His people, so how can you favor one over the other? ”

(I made a mistake in the previous chapter, I originally talked about 10 gold coins per household, but Marin severely lowered the price.) ）

Nima, in order to raise the price, even God moved out! Marin was speechless, but this time he had to think about it. In this era, what concerns God cannot be talked about, otherwise it will be unlucky.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Marin said:

"It's not a question of who is nobler, it's because these Hungarian Magyars don't speak German! In this way, after sending them to the Savage Continent, I will need to send a large number of teachers to teach them to speak German. As a result, my costs will be high, and each household may spend more than 10 gold coins on education! ”

Governor of Transylvania in the Kingdom of Hungary, John Brown. Zapolo asked curiously:

"Grand Duke Marin, why are you teaching those serfs German? Do they still need to be able to speak German for their farmland? ”

These words immediately choked Marin, it stands to reason that in this era, a farmer really doesn't need to know any language. After all, as long as you know how to plow the land, you can do it. Marin's statement is indeed a bit non-mainstream in this era.

Marlin looked at John. Zapolo glanced at it, this guy is a real powerful person in the Kingdom of Hungary, and he is also a confidant of Vladislas II. He led an army of 20,000 troops to the Transylvanian border all year round, and was on the front line against the Turkish invasion. Originally, it was John. Zapolio returned with 20,000 border troops and defeated Dorao. The main force of George's peasant rebel army. Then, 20,000 mercenaries from the north were gathered together and the main force of the peasant rebel army was completely wiped out.

Of course, it was also the Hungarians who were lucky. Because, at this time, the Ottoman Turks were holding back their strength to invade Persia and did not have the energy to care about the affairs of Europe. Otherwise, the Transylvanian side will be in danger.

John. Zapollo's army, somewhat similar to the Liaodong Frontier Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, belonged to the domestic elite, after all, it was an army that could resist the invasion of Ottoman Turkey, but it was generally impossible to leave the border easily.

But fortunately, at this time, the Ottoman Turks were gathering troops in Asia to prepare for the invasion of Persia. Zapolio had the opportunity to lead the main forces of the border army to destroy the peasant rebels. When the Liaodong Border Army of the Ming Dynasty sent the main force to attack the peasant army, it seemed that it was about to succeed, but the Houjin began to storm the border fortress, forcing the Liaodong Border Army back, and also gave Li Zicheng and other peasant troops a chance to breathe and survive. It can be said that the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell was that it was finally exhausted with the tacit cooperation of the peasant rebel army and the Later Jin. The Qing army was able to enter the customs and slaughter China, and Li Zicheng "made an indispensable contribution"......

For John. Zapollo's question, Marin thought for a moment and replied:

"Governor John, as you know, these prisoners of war are the main force of the rebels, and it is very risky to bring them back, and they are easy to rebel. Therefore, we need to educate them regularly, teach them to be good and obey the rule of the government. After all, they are all criminals with 'ex-convicts'. ”

But if they don't even know German, how can they understand the well-intentioned teachings of the people sent by the authorities? So, for these captive mobs, I have to spend a lot of energy and money to manage them. ”

"Unlike the German peasants in Württemberg, I can educate them by sending a petty official. But these tens of thousands of Magyars are mobs, I need to send someone to teach them German first, and then they can understand the education......"

"Of course, I can also send officials who understand Magyars to manage them. However, the cost of such generations is too high. Moreover, it is easy for the Magyars mob to drift away from Germany and gradually disobey the management of the North Sea State. Therefore, it is better to educate them to speak German from the beginning, and later integrate into the group of Germans in the North Sea country. ”

"To be honest, there were so many Magyars that I was a little surprised. Originally, at the price of 10 gold coins per household, I had a lot of financial pressure. If it rises to 30 gold coins per household, I can only give up and let you kill them! ”

At the end of the day, Marin started to play tricks. After all, in these years, I am willing to pay for people. If they didn't buy it themselves, they would either kill the prisoners of war or sell them into slavery at a very low price......

At this moment, the Hungarian nobles suddenly looked at each other......

They were only dissatisfied with the high price that Marin had paid to the prisoners of war in Württemberg at 30 gold per household, and wanted the same price. Of course, if the price increases by half, they can also take a lot more.

However, Marin didn't accept it, and put on a posture of throwing the pot, and then they panicked. After all, at this time, there is no second buyer willing to buy these people.

Actually, Jacob who came with Marin. Fugger had the intention of buying. After all, he was planning to develop the Tyrolean silver mines on a large scale.

But the problem is, Jacob. Fugger was also unwilling to offend Marin easily. So, he stood on the sidelines and said nothing, watching Marin and the Hungarian nobles arguing with each other.

The Hungarian nobles adopted delaying tactics and first got together to deliberate. However, the next day, the Hungarian nobles agreed to lower the price slightly, but not too much.

Marin and a group of Hungarian aristocrats then began to fight each other. The parlors of the Pest Palace became a battlefield for quarrels.

Marin quarreled with the greedy Hungarian nobles for several days before finally setting a compromise price of 20 gold coins per household. It's not that Marin doesn't want to lower the price, it's that the Hungarian aristocracy also began to play tricks. They claimed that if Marin wanted to lower the price further, they would not have bothered to arrest the families of the prisoners of war...... In particular, the children of prisoners of war of the peasant army......

In order to prevent the other party from really not being satisfied, Marin had no choice but to give in and give in the price of 20 gold coins per household.

But there were really a lot of prisoners of war this time, and the main force of the peasant rebel army on the southern road alone had 47,800 prisoners of war. The 30,000 rebel army of the Northern Route Army, because of the fierce fighting, the casualty rate was a little more than that of the Southern Route Army, a total of 25,000 were captured, but only 22,000 healthy prisoners of war. This is because the battle on the north road was hard-hitting, and no speculative means such as croton flour were used. So, the casualty rate is much higher.

However, the Kingdom of Hungary decided to select 2,000 officers from these prisoners of war to be executed in public order to deter the people.

As a result, the total number of healthy prisoners of war who could be sold to Marin was 67,800. Including their families, it is 67,800 households.

This figure is a bit more than Marin expected. Because, Marin was originally expected to buy 50,000 households. Now there are 17,800 more households, and the price has increased by 10 gold coins per household, which makes Ma Lin feel a little overwhelmed.
