Of course, these are all arrangements for the future. Moreover, there is no light to be seen. On the bright side, Marlin doesn't seem to have anything going on. When Adler returned, Marin specially summoned Adler into the palace, and the two brothers drank and talked happily, and also recalled what happened when they were children one night. I didn't know it, and I thought that the two brothers really had a deep brotherhood.

And, even Adler, who thinks so. Because, Marin's performance is really too natural. When they went to bed at night, the brothers slept together like they did when they were children, and they talked until midnight.

But after sending Adler away, Marin is thinking of a solution to the problem forever......

Of course, this solution to the future is not to murder Adler's father and son. The father and son didn't do anything bad, and Marin didn't mess around.

However, Marin must also make a decision now, so as not to be entangled in the future.

How to break the most simply? To return the title of Earl of East Friesland to Adler, of course. After all, if the truth of the marriage of nobles is aside, Adler is indeed the first in line to the throne of the Earl of East Friesland.

However, Marin's foundation was in East Friesland. The high-yield agricultural areas in the North Sea using new agricultural technologies are also concentrated in East Fresian Province.

Moreover, the East Friesian Lamb was not the same as other vassal states. Because he had almost killed all the old nobles, Marin alone occupied most of the arable land in the East Friesian Lam. I don't want other vassal states, and the land is actually scattered in the hands of various small and medium-sized nobles. And the East Friesian Lamber, although it also gave a lot of land to his subordinates, but the main land was in the hands of Marin.

If East Friesland were to be returned to Adler, it would be a matter of Marin's life......

Therefore, it was impossible to return East Friesland, which was the economic lifeblood of the North Sea State. However, to give Adler a large piece of territory that is not much worse, Marin can do it.

In the end, Marin's decision was to publicly compensate Adler for the loss of relinquishing the earldom. The specific way is to give a large fief to Adler. At the same time, Adler was canonized as an earl. Of course, the Earl of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, not the Counts of the Empire.

Once this is done, it is equivalent to Marlin returning the original earl's inheritance. Although the place is no longer in East Friesland, as long as the land area is large enough, it is enough to offset Adler's initial losses.

Moreover, without Marin's troops back then, the Hoffman family could not take the East Friesian Lambeth. Mallinken gave Adler the title of earl, as well as the equivalent of an earl's land, which was simply too benevolent.

After all, Marin did not send troops at the beginning, and Adler had no chance of getting the East Friesian Lambeth even if he had the right to inherit. Nowadays, getting an earl title and the corresponding land is definitely earned.

……

In fact, Marin thought a lot. The reason why he intended to repay Adler an earl was because he knew very well that if he had the honor of becoming a king or even an emperor in the future, he would eventually canonize Adler as an earl or even a duke. Because, Adler has the great credit of "making Xian" there. Without Adler's "Rang Xian", Marin would not have been able to become the Earl of East Friesland, and there would have been no prerequisite for future expansion.

Therefore, since sooner or later he will have to be named an earl, it is better to give it early. Moreover, if you give it early, you can make a break early, and you won't leave anyone with any handle.

If he waited until he became a king or emperor and then made Adler an earl, it would be insincere. After all, the king of a country should make his brother an earl. If he becomes a monarch, not to mention canonizing Adler as an earl, it is normal to crown Simon and Albert as earls. And now that he is just a prince, he will repay the earl title and land, that is, the brotherhood is deep, and there is also a break from the previous things, so as not to leave a handle in the future.

……

So, Marin spread out the map and began to look for a place where he could compensate Adler......

East Friesland is out of the question, that's the granary and core territory of Marin. The capital Aurich is also here, how can it be handed over to Adler?

Neither can Oldenburg and West Friesland, these two areas, which are also areas of the North Sea that use new agricultural technology, have great interests and cannot be handed over casually.

Moreover, the Oldenburg and West Frisian regions are too close to Aurich. If Adler's son starts a rebellion in the future, he will be able to hit Aurich in one day, and it is not safe.

Again, the North Münster region is so close to Aurich for the same reason – it's too close to Aurich......

Then, the only provinces that can be exchanged for Adler are Bremen, Schleswig, Jutland and Ruhr to choose from.

However, Marin in the Ruhr province will definitely not give Adler. Because, it is a coal mine, and it is no less important than East Friesland. Therefore, the Ruhr province must be excluded.

Not in the province of Bremen, where Marin used to house the old nobles of several provinces, and the land had to be distributed among those nobles, and Adler would not be able to get much land even if he got Bremen.

Not so in the province of Schleswig, which is strategically located. If you lose control of Jutland to the north, your control over Jutland will be reduced.

So, it seems, the most suitable seems to be Jutland......

But Jutland is too large, with 20,000 square kilometers, which is worth several principalities. Therefore, Marin will not give Jutland all to Adler......

Just as Marin was struggling with which piece of land to exchange for Adler, Marin suddenly glanced at another map......

It was a map of the British Isles, Marin was on the British Isles and the Isles of Ireland, but there were still a few plots of land......

Marin looked at England first, then shook his head. No, Northumberland, it's a coal source, and it's important. Not on the Isle of Wight, which is a future naval base.

Marin then set his sights on Scotland......

But neither can the two lands of Scotland, with the Highlands being famously bitter cold. If it is changed to Marin, it will be accused of lack of morality. In addition, it is also an important recruiting place for Marin.

The same goes for the border counties in the south of Scotland, which are also mountainous and of little use in large areas......

In the end, then, only County Wicklow on the island of Ireland remains......

……

County Wicklow, Ireland is actually a very good place, and the island of Ireland is known to have a lot of rain due to its direct exposure to the North Atlantic Current. But too much rain is not a good thing. If there is too much rainfall, crops will lack light and reduce yields. Moreover, if it rains during the autumn harvest season, the crops will rot in the ground.

As a result, most of the island of Ireland is unsuitable for agriculture. However, this does not include the eastern region. This is because the eastern coast is in the shadow zone of water vapor brought by the warm North Atlantic Current, which happens to have less rainfall. But even if the rain is less, it is still a lot compared to other places. In this way, it is also suitable for agriculture.

Of course, County Wicklow is one of the few mountainous areas in the eastern part of the island of Ireland. However, the mountainous terrain is not as high as in Scotland, but mainly hilly. In other words, most of Wicklow County is still suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. Even in hilly areas, animal husbandry is very good.

Wicklow County is about 2,000 square kilometres, the size of an average country. To compensate Adler, it is absolutely enough.

And, because the island of Ireland is not peaceful at the moment, County Wicklow is still at war. As a result, Marin is currently not very well developed in Wicklow County. Also, the island of Ireland is at present a remote and remote place, and Marin has no time to take care of it.

But the unevenness over there may be a disadvantage for Marin, but for the belligerent Adler, it is estimated to be a heavenly existence.

Adler was brave and belligerent. However, in order to suppress Adler, so as not to have a heavy army, Marin did not take him to fight at all, and only gave him some tasks such as defending the city, which made Adler depressed.

At the beginning, Marin's main excuse for refusing Adler to go to the front was that you don't have a son yet, so you are not suitable to go to the front line to work hard......

But now that Adler has a son, this excuse is no longer valid......

However, Marin was reluctant to take him to war, lest he sit in the army. So, in fact, Marin also needs a place to house Adler's militant right now.

Originally, Marin had planned for Adler to go to North America to fight the Indians. However, in North America, it was Marin's backyard. Adler is a reckless man with no brains, Marin has been promoting the poor mountains and bad waters of the Americas, and if Adler, a reckless man, has seen the richness of the Americas, and accidentally tells the truth about the richness of the Americas after returning to Europe, then Marin will be in trouble. In the future, Spain and France will definitely come to snatch ......

Therefore, Marin dismissed the idea of sending Adler to fight in the Americas. It just so happened that after England conquered Scotland, it was estimated that in a year or two it would take action on the island of Ireland and conquer the whole island.

And when the time comes, Marin, as an important vassal of England, is estimated to have to send troops to contribute. Therefore, Marin simply planned to hand over County Wicklow to Adler, and then, let Adler feed a troop of soldiers and horses on his own, and do things on the island of Ireland. For example, engaging in border friction with neighboring countries or something. I guess Adler, the militant, will be overjoyed.

Moreover, the enemies on the island are not very strong, and Adler is expected to have no problem dealing with them. And Marin allowed himself to form a team by himself, without giving money, Adler estimated that he could not pull a large-scale team. After all, raising soldiers costs money. The ranches of County Wicklow alone could not provide Adler with enough money to raise his troops. And Marin, while giving Wicklow County to Adler, will also take back most of the fiefs previously given to Adler, except for the estate in Lyle County. Relying solely on the annual harvest of tens of thousands of gold coins in that manor, Adler's team will be very limited.

However, as long as he can fight and charge, it is estimated that this militant will go crazy......

In addition, when Edward moved to the island of Ireland, Marin may have gone to Daming and could not follow Edward's actions. When the time comes, let Adler be his representative, send troops to follow Edward, and conquer the indigenous tribes on the island of Ireland, which can be regarded as helping him cope with the mission. And, Adler, this guy is absolutely willing...... ()
