In the Bishopric of Münster, the scheme of the division of the north and the south was formalized. However, for the sake www.biquge.info of local stability, Marin's army did not withdraw, but continued to stay in the local area to deter all parties and avoid chaos.

Also, it's time for Bishop Conrad to recruit his own army. Having been granted the 80,000 eugrams, Bishop Conrad knew that his good days had come. Therefore, he will not be stingy with money, but intends to recruit two thousand reliable German mercenaries to protect his safety.

As for Marin's army? Bishop Conrad is not stupid, if he lives for one more year, Marin will lose one more year of the harvest of 80,000 eugrams. Therefore, after the initial period of chaos, if the Bishopric of Münster still relied on Marin's army, Marin might dislike himself and find a way to hang himself up in advance......

Therefore, Bishop Conrad believed that it was necessary to have his own army to protect his own security and prevent his life and death from being in the hands of others. Therefore, after forcibly passing the land transfer bill, Bishop Conrad immediately entrusted his brother John to help him find a German mercenary force of 2,000 men to protect his own safety.

When the situation stabilized, Bishop Conrad would not be happy that Marin's army was still in the South Münster area, otherwise he would not be at ease.

Of course, his own 2,000 troops are only enough to protect himself, and even if he adds those 80 church knights, it is not enough to protect the safety of the South Münster area. So, Bishop Conrad and Marin had agreed long ago - Marin would leave 2000 troops to be stationed in the South Münster region, however, outside the city of Münster. If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, these 2,000 troops can temporarily hide in the city to participate in the defense. But in peacetime, these 2000 troops can only be stationed outside the city to serve as a deterrent.

In North Münster, the Bishop of Conrad was fully empowered by the new consul appointed by Marin, Cussen the Elder. In order to save face for Marin, Bishop Conrad promoted the church rank of old Cussen to the rank of assistant bishop. And the elder Cussen's deputy, Fr. Arnold, who had held the post of chancellor of the exchequer, was also promoted to auxiliary bishop.

Then the elder Cussen and Arnold, with 180 priests and 2,000 soldiers and horses provided by Marin, went to Kloppenburg, the capital of the North Münster region, and began to take over the local government. As for military affairs, it has nothing to do with them. After all, the North Münster region was on the border of the East Friesian Lamber, and Marin casually divided his troops and solved it.

As for the Episcopal State of Osnabrück, Marin transferred several civil officials from the country, and promoted a group of priests from the territory of the Episcopal State of Osnabrück to administer them together.

However, considering the topographical characteristics of the Episcopal State of Osnabrück, Marin decided to reduce the religious power of the Episcopal State of Osnabrück to the south of the city of Osnabrück and the surrounding areas. Most of the northern part was placed under the jurisdiction of the North Münster region for the reclamation of wasteland.

The city of Osnabrück is a small bishopric state, and the domestic church is not strong, so naturally it does not have the courage to confront Marin. Under the leadership of Bishop Conrad, the former boss, Marin happily divided most of the Episcopal State of Osnabrück, leaving only the southern third of the country for the Church to continue tossing. In the same way, Marin divided the Episcopal State of Osnabrück. However, the southern third of the Episcopal State of Osnabrück was not given to the Bishop of Conrad, but was given to some of the people he sent and the people of the local Church. Two-thirds of the northern part of the country was placed under the administration of two old priests, Coussen and Arnold.

However, Cussen and Alexander-Arnold are also well aware that they are just a last resort option for Marin in the face of a serious shortage of personnel. Therefore, they did not have the idea of making a big move, but consulted Marin everywhere, and did not dare to make claims.

For the cooperation of the two, Marin will naturally not be stingy. So, Marin directly allocated two estates to them as a source of their benefits.

These two estates, each with 500 yugram wheat fields. At the beginning, the two of them were still a little disappointed, too little. After all, according to the usual situation, the annual profit brought to them by the 500 eugram rye land is only 50 pounds of rye per mu, 500 eugrams, only 6,000 acres, the income is only 300,000 pounds of rye, and the market value is only 4,000 gold coins according to the batch price of 0.8 phennig per pound, which is not consistent with their palace level status.

However, when Marin summoned them to spy on them, the two were taken aback. Because, Marlin told them, in East Friesland, the yield per acre was about 400 pounds (net of cost) of rye, which was eight times that of an ordinary acre. In other words, a manor of 500 yugram can bring an income of 32,000 gold coins, such a large income can buy a large piece of territory, and it is still a year's income.

However, Marin also demanded that they must swear that even their families should not reveal the secret. Otherwise, the end is that the whole family will be hunted down. Both of them signed the oath, and they both understood that Marin was not a good person, and he absolutely did what he said. However, as long as they don't say it, they can make a fortune quietly. Although the benefit field is only 500 yugrams, the income is worth 4,000 yugrams. When I say it, I guess no one believes it. You know, even if it is Bishop Conrad, his interest field is only 10,000 yugrams. However, the real gain is only equivalent to 1,250 yugram land in East Friesland.

Speaking of which, Marin now has absolute control over about 70,000 eugrams in North Münster and 30,000 in the northern two-thirds of the northern part of the Osnabrück Episcopal State. However, for the North Münster and North Osnabrück regions, which cover an area of around 6,000 square kilometres, this is only seven .quarter of the total area. That is, most of the land has not yet been developed.

Moreover, most of the northern part of the North Münster region and the northern part of the Episcopal State of Osnabrück are mostly plain areas and have abundant water resources, which are ideal for cultivation.

The only constraint is the shortage of local labor......

After all, before the advent of the era of mechanization, it was all manual cultivation of the land. Without labor, it is impossible to cultivate enough land. Therefore, the successive feudal dynasties regarded the population as an important indicator of whether the country was prosperous and strong. Without population, no amount of land is useless.

Therefore, even if he obtained so much land, Marin would need to send people to the southern region to continue to recruit the surplus labor in those estates and make them his own serfs.

Of course, it is not difficult to recruit the redundant population in these estates. As long as the phrase "bread is enough", countless idle serfs will flock to it. If you add the sentence "Bao marries Mao Mei", it is estimated that these people will go crazy......

In this way, Kohler's men, once again, went to the poor areas of the south with a mission, recruited the surplus labor of those estates, and immigrated to the North Münster region. The advertising slogan to attract these people is "enough bread, three meals a day......
