In fact, Sir Newton was not awarded a medal for scientific research, but as the director of the Royal Mint, and also engaged in currency reform, which was a good job. In addition, his Cambridge classmate Montague became Chancellor of the Exchequer...... That's why he got a knighthood of nobility.

But it is undeniable that Newton's knighthood is indeed a precedent for scholars to be knighted. In later life, Britain discovered that it seemed that it was quite cost-effective to give scientists a knighthood that did not cost money. Then, even more excessively, even a football coach like Alex Ferguson was knighted......

Later, the idol player Beckham also wanted to be knighted. However, it didn't work out. After all, Beckham is just handsome and has not done anything that has contributed a lot to the UK. It's hard to be knighted just by selling your face. Unless, as the captain, he can lead England to win a World Cup......

In fact, the title of knight, which cannot be hereditary, has little practical significance, and is more of an honorary nature, just like the awards received by students. Of course, Jazz's honor is much more powerful than the certificate, and in many things, it enjoys a certain priority and is recognized by the whole society. Therefore, many scientists have also sharpened their heads and want to mix one.

In short, there are not a few knights for scientists. If you don't have a particularly outstanding contribution, can you be knighted? However, it seems that the North Sea Kingdom has made an exception - Leonardo da Vinci is a baron now......

But scientists who can reach the level of Leonardo da Vinci in this era, Marin feels that it is basically difficult to find. If there is another one, Marin would be desperate. It's just a knighthood, and if you can exchange it for a god of science, it's a sure win.

In addition to the factualization of the craftsman school, Marin also clarified the hierarchy of the military school. That is, the military school after elementary school is only a school for training soldiers and non-commissioned officers. Ordinary students become soldiers, and especially outstanding talents become non-commissioned officers, that is, junior officers in the army. If you want to be a real officer, you have to go to a military university.

Then, on the issue of attending a military university, Marin would also begin to lean towards the children of the nobility. Especially for the command majors, they basically only want to be open to the children of the nobility. Only technical professions such as engineering and artillery are open to the outstanding among the children of the common people. In this way, it can be regarded as opening a convenient door for the children of ordinary people.

However, in order to motivate ordinary soldiers to fight bravely. Marin also stipulated that soldiers who have won the titles of "martyrs" and "combat heroes", even if they are children of civilians, can have a place to go to a military university, and only one will be given. With this kind of stimulus, those civilian children can fight bravely to be the first in battle. Although it is only a qualification to go to a military university, not a knighthood, it is easier to be promoted if you can cross the barrier of non-commissioned officers and officers. Then, it will be easier to knight.

In this way, while Marin opened some back doors for the children of civilians, he also strictly controlled the size of the officers to avoid the expansion of military strength.

He remembered how Prussia was kidnapped by the army. When the military Junkers took control of Germany, war was inevitable. Therefore, while Marin is strengthening the army, he must also suppress the influence of the army. Ideally, civilian officials will slightly suppress military attachés, but they will not interfere in the affairs of the army.

To be honest, there are too few strong men in Beihai now, and there are few people who can serve as soldiers. There are only three or four hundred thousand strong men in the local area, and even if one out of ten is drawn, it can only draw thirty or forty thousand people. And the mobilization of the whole people is impossible, because, in this era, there are no machines, and industrial and agricultural production cannot be separated from labor. If the whole population is mobilized, social production will come to a complete standstill.

Therefore, the population problem is still the main problem restricting the take-off of Beihai country. And Marin's desire to get the more than 300,000 victims outside Paris became more and more fervent.

Now, a few months have passed, and Baron Adère, a well-known loser in Paris, has finally fallen into the trap, lost all his net worth, and under the guidance of someone with a heart, he has opened up relationships and obtained the position of managing more than 300,000 refugees outside Paris.

However, after becoming a refugee manager, Baron Adair felt that something was wrong - why were the nobles at home hinting that he was going to "dispose of" these refugees? How to deal with it? Is it to kill?

It wasn't until the representative of the Beihai Kingdom came to his door and gave him a bag of gold coins that he knew how to deal with the refugees......

"Isn't this a cheap outsider?" At first, Baron Adair was not happy. Although he is a loser, he is also patriotic. He knew that if these more than 300,000 refugees were given to others, they would be simply enemies.

In the agricultural era, population was the guarantee of social productivity. If these more than 300,000 refugees were sent to the Beihai Kingdom, it was estimated that they would be able to reclaim a place the size of a principality. After all, many German principalities have a total population of only two or three hundred thousand.

Baron Adair even thought that if France could not afford to support these refugees, it might as well give them to the Duchy of Lorraine and other German vassal states close to France.

However, his superior, Baron Bogur, sprayed him with blood.

"Are you stupid? I also want to send these more than 300,000 refugees to the Duchy of Lorraine and other princes close to France. But have you ever thought that they can afford to support these people? I don't have so much food to feed the victims of the disaster, but the small vassal states close to France can afford it? ”

"Then why can the North Sea Country afford it?" Baron Adair sneered at his neck.

"What's the deal...... They have a high grain yield, right? Baron Bogur was a little furious.

"Why is there not enough food production in France?" Baron Adair continued to retort.

Baron Bogur was furious, and after beating Baron Adair, he explained:

"People have volcanoes...... Forget it, this is a state secret, I won't tell you. In short, you have to remember that we fought for Naples in order to produce as much food as the North Sea country. But now, we can't afford to support the 300,000 refugees, so we have to send them away first. If you continue to stay in Paris, it is easy to have a big accident! ”

In the end, Baron Adair's donkey still obeyed Baron Bogur's arrangement and was willing to act as an intermediary and "sell" the victims to the North Sea Kingdom. Because he knew that after the money was sent to the king, it would be used in the war to help the great French seize the kingdom of Naples. Then the kingdom of France will be able to increase its food......

As for the matter of his own stench for 10,000 years, Baron Adair was relatively simple-minded and didn't think about it so deeply. Anyway, if you can play for France, that's right. Besides, Baron Bogur promised him that he could give him some of the money from the sale of the victims, so that he could use it to pay off his debts. This is definitely good news for a gambler......

None of this was much, but Baron Adair made a request that made Marin's head incomparable, even a little difficult to handle. Because, Baron Adair proposed to send his subordinates to the Americas with the refugees to see if the Americas could really accommodate the more than 300,000 French victims......
