In those days, there were few professional banks in Germany. Even when the aristocracy borrowed, it was mainly from Hanseatic merchants who had a lot of money in their hands. There are very few specialized banks in Germany that make a profit from sucking up deposits and lending. At this time, only in Italy would there be some early banks similar to those of later banks.

Therefore, most of the money earned by the nobles was basically hidden at home. And many old aristocratic families will basically set up secret rooms to hide money.

Therefore, in this era, copying is a very good way to make money. Of course, a little bit of technology is also required. For example, you need to know how to find the secret rooms of those old noble families. People in this era have never read books, let alone movies, so naturally they don't understand those methods. And Marin has seen a lot of movies in his later life, what torch is used as a secret room mechanism, behind the bookcase is a secret room, and behind the pit is a secret room...... Under his teaching, coupled with the experience of raiding the house in Siena last time, this time, the private collections of those noble families did not escape the search. It can be said that the descendants of those nobles basically have no future......

Contrary to those nobles who were raided, Marin was really "full" this time......

Valuables such as gold, silver, jewelry, and gold and silver coins alone are worth millions of gold coins. Counting those grains, livestock, including works of art and other belongings, the total value may have reached about 1.8 million gold coins!

This is also because in order to form a private army of 7,000 nobles, these more than 100 veteran nobles took out a lot of money and grain. What's more, the more valuable war horses and weapons and armor of these rebellious old nobles were captured on the battlefield. If they were to stay at home and be seized together, they would have been able to reach 2 million gold coins......

The huge benefits of raiding the house made Marin extremely excited. However, it also frightened the fifty or sixty veteran aristocrats who did not follow the rebellion. Because, they were worried that Marin would be addicted to copying his family, so they copied their family business by the way.

Of course, their worries are unnecessary. Although Marin did have the urge to copy their house together, he finally resisted it. Because, these fifty or sixty veteran aristocrats are the benchmark that Marin needs to set, and they are a demonstration of Marin's kindness to the veteran aristocrats who do not resist. Therefore, even if these families have money, Marin will not touch them. Even, to find ways to protect their interests.

Therefore, after the end of the large-scale raid on the rebellious noble families, Marin held a banquet and invited the heads of fifty or sixty old nobles who did not participate in the rebellion, and comforted them with a pleasant face.

At the banquet, Marin publicly announced that all law-abiding nobles would be protected by the laws of the North Sea Kingdom. Then, according to the information he heard before, Marin also gave certain rewards to the several nobles who took the lead in opposing the rebellion before.

Of course, this kind of reward is not a financial reward, but a channel reward. For example, some of the business and agricultural products of the old aristocratic families that were confiscated were given to those families. Marin can't look down on these channels, if he doesn't care about them, he will be divided by these surviving aristocratic families afterwards, so it is better to use them as favors to reward those nobles who are on his side.

……

In addition, Marin also carried out a major adjustment of the fiefdoms in the province of Bremen. The specific method is to change the fiefs of the surviving fifty or sixty old aristocratic families from the previous slightly scattered to clustered together......

Originally, there were about 160 old aristocrats in Bremen. The fiefdoms of their families were scattered throughout the province of Bremen. Because there are too many families, Marin is also a little difficult to monitor.

Moreover, after the banning of hundreds of old aristocratic families who participated in the rebellion, many estates in Bremen were emptied.

It just so happened that this opportunity was taken to reorganize the fiefdoms of the remaining fifty or sixty nobles, bringing them together from scattered sources. In this way, it is also convenient to manage it yourself, as well as ...... Surveillance......

Yes, surveillance! These people are not their own people, and Marin has suffered a loss this time, so he will naturally be on guard. It can be said that if it were not for the trap set by Marin in advance this time, and the successful crossing of the river by the Third Army borrowed a boat from Hamburg, Marin might have suffered a lot of losses this time.

In fact, Marin had already suffered huge losses - in order to prevent the alliance of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms from knowing the true grain production of the North Sea State, Marin reluctantly burned tens of thousands of ryeland in Oldenburg Province. The economic losses caused are estimated to be in the millions, more than the losses of the old nobles of Bremen Province.

Of course, this cannot be blamed entirely on the rebellion of these old nobles. After all, it was a bit too late before. But the rebellion of the old nobles did catch Marin a little off guard, and he had to burn most of the rye fields in the province of Oldenburg......

Also, not all of the remaining fifty or sixty nobles were supporters of Marin. Most of these families are actually timid and afraid of failure, rather than supporting Marin. According to Ma Lin's subordinates, these fifty or sixty veteran nobles who have not rebelled, there are actually less than 10 who really support Ma Lin......

It's no wonder that Marin never treated them as his own, so he can't blame them for not treating Marin as his own. And, as many of the old nobles of Bremen who participated in the rebellion said - Marin did not provide fertilizer to their estates, so that they made a lot less money, can they not resent it? These dozens of families did not participate in the rebellion, and they are all fine......

……

So, taking advantage of this shuffle, Marin simply brought them all together. In the future, Kohler's spies will no longer need to be scattered to various places to monitor, as long as centralized monitoring can be carried out, which is much more convenient.

Of course, Marin will not let these old aristocratic families who did not participate in the rebellion suffer. For example, when choosing a new fiefdom, Marin tried to move them all to the west bank of the Elbe.

The arable land along the great river was very valuable in ancient times. After all, in ancient times, there were no modern aqueducts and machine pumps, and it was difficult to divert water for irrigation. The cultivated land by the big river can be easily irrigated as long as a waterwheel is erected, and it is an absolutely high-quality fertile land. Marin gave them these lands, and he was worthy of them.

As for the fiefs of the hundreds of nobles that were vacant, Marin thought about it and decided to use it to house the princes and nobles of the eight captured vassal states.

……

And in order to appease these fifty or sixty veteran nobles who did not participate in the rebellion, Marin decided to provide them with some fertilizer later......

Of course, the fertilizer provided to them by Marlin is definitely not the local fertilizer, but a weakened version of the compound fertilizer......

For example, the volcanic ash used to fool the French......

……

Yes, Marlin intends to provide these old nobles who have not rebelled with a weakened version of the volcanic fertilizer. Anyway, Marin now has several Italian volcanoes and is constantly mining for ash. Although it was used to fool France, it was not consumed. Simply, give it to these old nobles who have not rebelled and use it as fertilizer.

Although the effect of these volcanic ash fertilizers is not as good as that of Marin's three-fertilizer compound fertilizer, it is also effective. In addition, since the "secret" of volcanic ash fertilizer has been leaked, Marin does not intend to hide it, so it is better to show it generously to outsiders......

Of course, the core areas of East Friesland, West Friesland, Oldenburg and other core areas Marin certainly did not want to show. Then, the estates of these old nobles by the Elbe River have become the best display areas. Mainly, these estates are on the Elbe River, and it is difficult to keep them secret. At the beginning, Marin took this situation into consideration, and did not trust the old nobles, so he did not provide them with fertilizer.

Nowadays, in order to fool the needs of the French. In addition, coupled with the fact that it was indeed necessary to give some sweetness to these unrebellious nobles, Marin simply planned to give the volcanic ash that had been brought back to the estates of these old nobles as a weakened version of fertilizer......

And after these old aristocratic families who did not rebel used volcanic ash fertilizer, they really had a good output. Then, the eyes of all Europe will pay more attention to Italy. Then, the Italian side will definitely be more able to play the dog brain......
