Chapter 160: Recruiting College Students Again

After Heider arrived in Oldenburg to serve as the palace minister, he found that very few of the nobles of the Oldenburg Count had passed the administrative examination. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In other words, most of these nobles are some fancy wastes who only know aristocratic etiquette and drink, dance, and pretend to be compared all day long. Those who are truly proficient in administrative business are often those who come from petty aristocratic backgrounds or are simply commoners.

Of course, those civilian petty officials all appeared in the government as assistants. In normal times, they act as assistants and are responsible for handling government affairs. And those nobles who are in charge of the main position are responsible for the ...... Finally, after waiting for those civilian deputies to deal with it, these full-time nobles will sign again......

After receiving Haidel's report, Marin was also very angry. He did not gain the Earl of Oldenburg with the support of these waste nobles, but by the army. Therefore, Marin does not intend to tolerate these incompetent nobles, but intends to send those incapable nobles to Las Vegas and let them die of drunken dreams......

But who to find to replace these nobles? If you want to find those small nobles to replace those big nobles, it's better to say a little. Because, after all, they are also nobles. However, if you put those civilian deputies who used to work for the big nobles, it seems to be a bit of a bad rule......

Moreover, even if all these people are straightened out, there is a shortage of manpower. Because, most of the nobles failed the assessment and had to be cleaned up......

So Heider wrote a letter asking Marin to go to his alma mater, the University of Cologne, and recruit more students......

Marin agreed to Heidel's suggestion on the spot, and here he ordered Heider to go to the University of Cologne in the name of the palace minister of Oldenburg to hold a job fair and recruit some college students to return.

Of course, Marin also realized that if he recruited people from the University of Cologne alone, he would form a "University of Cologne" department. If Haider had become a powerful minister in the future, a university student from the University of Cologne would have easily become one of his henchmen.

So Marin made the decision to send Heider to recruit people not only at the University of Cologne, but also at other universities.

Now, through previous bribes, Marin has eased his relationship with the other five electors except for the Electors of Brandenburg and Saxony. Even the Bohemian king Vladislav II, who had previously been hostile to him, was no longer hostile to Marin because of the mediation of his younger brother, Archduke Alexander.

So, for now, Marin can go to the University of Heidelberg in the Palatinate, the Charles University in Prague in the Kingdom of Bohemia, the University of Vienna in Austria, the University of Rostock in Mecklenburg, the University of Freiburg, the University of Munich and other universities to recruit talents. As for the University of Leipzig in the Duchy of Saxony, don't go, if the recruiters dare to go, they will be easily hacked to death by the Saxons......

The University of Rostock in Mecklenburg is also a bit problematic, because the Duchy of Mecklenburg belongs to the younger brother of the Elector of Brandenburg, and it is inevitable that it will be influenced by the Elector of Brandenburg and be unfriendly to the personnel sent by him to recruit.

However, Marin was the Elector of Brandenburg, not the Duchy of Mecklenburg. Therefore, sending people to the University of Rostock to recruit people, at most, will be blocked, and the safety of the personnel should still be no problem. After all, the Duchy of Mecklenburg did not suffer the great loss of Marin, like the Saxons.

For other universities, Marin sent people over to focus on recruiting civilian college students...... In this way, it is not easy to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the princes where the universities are located...... Because, the monarch of this era does not pay much attention to those civilian college students......

In Europe in this era, the concept of the door is not much stronger than that of China. In ordinary countries, it is not too difficult for civilians to become officials.

Even in the 19th century, in European armies, the highest rank of civilian officer was the promotion to the rank of master officer. No matter how high it is, it is monopolized by the aristocracy. It wasn't until the 19th century that there were several large-scale revolutions in Europe that this shackle was broken.

For the time being, in European countries, those talented commoners, even college students, at most, become the deputies or staff of the great nobles, and become the shadows of the great nobles, but cannot become real officials in charge alone.

Only a traverser like Marin, who was a civilian in his previous life, would not discriminate against civilians and dare to reuse civilians. Like Haider, the last time he went to the University of Cologne, he was able to recruit a group of students, because he was from a civilian background, but he was able to become a judge of the East Friesian Lam Kingdom, which greatly stimulated a group of civilian college students.

But in this way, Marin no longer wants to recruit those aristocratic college students in the university. Because, those arrogant aristocratic college students may be very dissatisfied with Marin's behavior. Except, of course, those down-and-out aristocratic college students.

However, Marin didn't care if he could recruit aristocratic college students. Because, most of the aristocratic college students go to mess around. You must know that there is no college entrance examination this year, and aristocratic college students are basically recommended to enter. Only civilian college students must pass the assessment. Therefore, in terms of quality, those commoner college students are more than those aristocratic college students. Therefore, Marin didn't care at all about the disgust that might incur aristocratic college students.

In this way, Marin organized several teams to go to the above 6 universities to recruit talents. The team was led by one of the "Thirteen Taibao" recruited from the University of Cologne for the first time.

Having these people as interviewers can not only stimulate those civilian college students (who themselves are role models for those civilian college students), but also test the abilities of those college students. If it's too bad, Marin doesn't want it.

In addition, those aristocratic college students whose families have declined are also the targets of Marin's recruitment. Those interviewers are largely prepared for this kind of college students. After all, college students who have fallen into the aristocracy may be very talented, or they may be like other aristocratic college students, they are chaotic and need to be assessed.

In order to fully attract the college students, Marin equipped the six interviewers with ornate silk robes and sent a large number of armor-clad guards. Like the last time Heider went to the University of Cologne, he was full of sight.

Marin's request to several interviewers who led the team is that no matter whether they can recruit people or not, they must put on the side of a local tyrant, and the posture must be sufficient......

In addition, the six interviewers all brought a box of gold coins, which were used to bribe those university presidents and professors to help them say good things and recommend them to those civilian college students......

Sometimes, the opinions of these teachers are still very important. After all, even college students in the Middle Ages had little social experience before entering society, and it was easy to fool them......

That's not all, in addition to throwing money hard and showing the side of a local tyrant, Marin also asked the 6 interviewers to tell those civilian college students - as long as they are hired, they can be immediately promoted to nobles - not hereditary ordinary knights......

Of course, this knight, which was granted by Marin in the name of the so-called "Duke of Egypt", has no fief, no benefits, just an empty title. But such an empty title is also very attractive for those civilian college students.

Moreover, as long as those commoner college students are canonized with an empty title of nobility, it can also perfectly avoid the "unspoken rule" of "commoners are not allowed to be officials" in the aristocratic circles of European countries - you see, we didn't let commoners become officials...... They're all nobles...... Although, they are the nobles of the non-existent "Duchy of Egypt", they are also nobles...... Well, strictly speaking, they are aristocratic in exile......
