Karn was, after all, Marin's inseparable bodyguard, and his disappearance would definitely lead to speculation. When the time comes, the news that James IV was killed by the fierce generals will inevitably be suspicious of Kahn when they compare the two with each other.

Therefore, in order to prevent Karn's disappearance from triggering speculation, Marin specially found a strong man who was very similar to Karn and pretended to be Karn.

The stand-in wore Karn's armor and rode Karn's horse. It's just that his visor is closed, and he doesn't show his face. During this time, the task of this fake Karn was to walk the catwalk between Karn's mansion and the royal palace every day, so as not to suspect Karn's disappearance. And when the fake Karn arrived at the palace, he would also go to the rest room of the palace to sleep, and then flash after work, trying not to contact others.

And Marin himself, during this time, he was all taken in the palace and did not go out, to avoid fake Karn revealing stuffing. After all, once Marin left the palace, Karn, as the number one bodyguard, had to follow him. And as soon as he comes into contact with outsiders, the fake Karn is easy to expose. If you are in the palace, as long as it is arranged, it is not easy to show the stuffing.

……

During this time, Marlin was also bored. March is the official spring season, which is very suitable for spring outing. However, in order to cooperate with Karn's disappearance, Marin had to stay in the palace and could not go out.

Out of boredom, Marin had no choice but to get more involved in government affairs and discuss political affairs with Jeffrey, the prime minister. This made Jeffrey nervous for a while, and he thought he had made some mistake. Otherwise, why has Marlin been staring at him lately?

He didn't know that Marin was just bored because he couldn't go out for a spring outing, and he didn't have any opinions about him.

You must know that in this era, there are very few scholars, and even fewer civil officials know how to handle government affairs. Although Jeffrey is a wall-riding faction and is not trusted by Marin, he still has some level of handling government affairs. At the very least, let yourself have peace of mind. Not only that, but Geoffrey also knew how to be balanced, knowing that the military and financial power could not be decided on their own, and would often consult Marin. As for personnel appointments, Jeffrey did not decide on his own, but gave more than two choices each time and let Marin choose. And he never objected to the personnel arrangement proposed by Marin...... With such a worry-free subordinate, how can Marin not like it? Until Marin's more trusting teenagers grow up, Marin can only rely on old civil servants like Jeffrey.

However, Marin's trust in Jeffrey is also limited. For example, such top-secret news as the assassination of James IV, Jeffrey did not know. After all, Jeffrey's wallgrass isn't very reliable. It's better not to let him know too important secrets, especially the assassination of the king, which can easily lead to ruin. If the news leaks out, Marin won't have to mess around in the circle.

Marin didn't tell the truth, and Jeffrey was naturally very nervous, thinking that Marin had finally decided to fire him, so he was very nervous.

In fact, Marin really had the idea of firing Jeffrey. At the beginning, after the more capable former Danish Prime Minister Mikel defected and did well in the Duchy of Schleswig, Marin moved the idea of letting him replace Jeffrey. After all, Mikel is the boss who has managed the huge Kalmar League, and he naturally has much more experience in governing the country than Jeffrey. Jeffrey knew that, too.

However, later Marin occupied Jutland and ruled more than 200,000 Danes. For the sake of national stability, Marin eventually had to leave Mikel, a Dane, to the east, so that Mikel could appease the Danes who had recently returned to the country.

In other words, the current management system of the Beihai State is actually divided into two parts - the western region is under the control of Aurich, that is, under the control of Jeffrey; In the east, Jutland and Schleswig, two Danish-rich provinces, were administered by Mikel. Strictly speaking, Jeffrey is not the Prime Minister of the North Sea Kingdom, but the Western Minister who governs the western provinces, while Mikel is the Eastern Minister.

In addition, Machiavelli, who was in charge of the province of North Münster, is now also in charge of the newly annexed Ruhr province, and although nominally a subordinate of Geoffrey, there is also a faint momentum to fight against Geoffrey.

And Haider, the first university student recruited by Marin, currently manages the provinces of Oldenburg and Bremen, and also has the momentum to replace Jeffrey.

In fact, Haider was trained by the Marin Project to replace Jeffrey. It's just that Haider doesn't seem to be as pretty as Jeffrey, and is a little stereotypical, so Marin hesitated and didn't replace Jeffrey immediately.

And Machiavelli, although he is more capable than Haider, but considering that this product is Italian and was kidnapped by himself, Marin is actually very hesitant to choose who will take over as prime minister. As for Mikel, he's old, and God knows when he'll burp. Therefore, the future prime minister will certainly be produced between the reliable Haider and the more capable Machiavelli. Because, they are all young people who are less than forty years old and can be used for a long time.

……

And it is precisely because Jeffrey knows that there are many people who can replace him, so he has a bad feeling about Marin's sudden frequent visits. In fact, he was overly worried. It's just that Marin can't tell him clearly.

Fearing losing his position as prime minister, Jeffrey has been working very hard these days. No, he took the initiative to talk about the population growth of the North Sea Country......

It just so happened that Marin was worried about the introduction of the population at this time, so he discussed it with Jeffrey. Marin's plan, of course, was brought in from the outside. Because, the introduction from the outside is fast, and the introduction is an adult. Unlike internal fertility, it takes more than ten years to cultivate, which is too slow.

Jeffrey, on the other hand, disagrees, that although external introductions come quickly, others are not stupid. For example, now the princes began to restrict the Beihai Kingdom from bringing in people from their own countries. With Marin not planning to use force for several years, it became very difficult to bring in people from abroad.

Moreover, Jeffrey believes that these foreign populations can share prosperity and prosperity, but they cannot share hardship. What is really reliable is the population born in the country. And those immigrants can come when the Beihai country is full of flowers, and they can also leave when the Beihai country encounters disasters. Therefore, it is better to encourage more births in the country......

"Do you encourage the domestic fertility population?" Ma Lin suddenly remembered the "Ten Years of Life Gathering, Ten Years of Lessons" of Goujian, the King of Yue......

The successful example of Yue Wang Goujian is in front of him, and Ma Lin has to admit that encouraging childbirth is also a mature population growth model.

Although this cycle is a bit long, it may be close to 20 years. But Marin is not yet 30 years old, and 20 years later, he will only be 50 years old. And 50 years old is the age when a politician creates brilliance for the Beihai country, which has more advanced medicine than other European countries......

"Well, I agree to encourage fertility!" Marin, who has always been greedy for speed and convenience, finally settled down and approved the "encouraging childbirth" model of population growth, which has not worked well......
