Marin calculated that from the age of 45 to 60, they could be a sheriff for another 15 years. The sheriff is not a small piece of police, nor is he the kind of coolie of the joint defense team, so he doesn't need to work too hard. Therefore, it is not a problem to work until the age of 60. As for the 65-year-old in later generations, well, that is the age that only officials can do.

Ordinary physical work, in fact, it is not good to do it until the age of 50 and above. What's more, most people in Europe are now almost dead in their 50s. But these old brothers follow Marin, eat and drink well, and exercise every day for professional reasons. In addition, Marin is now vigorously promoting hospitals and modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, although it is currently only promoted to the cities, not to the towns, but it is only a matter of time. With these factors, it should not be a problem for his subordinates to live to the age of 60 and upward.

Then, the preparation given by yourself is very reasonable. A sergeant, plus five staffed police officers, does not pay much. According to the daily salary of a normal mercenary 3 pfennig, 5 police officers only need to spend 15 pfennigs per day. Over the course of a year, it's only 91.25 gold coins. 400 police stations, the daily expenditure is less than 40,000 gold coins.

As for the larger number of auxiliary police, they do not need to be paid. Usually, you can get rid of cheap salted fish, cane sugar, and canned food. After all, these people can be kept on their respective estates. In this way, you can save a lot of money. And trapped, cane sugar and canned food, may be a high-cost thing for other countries. But for Marlin, these are low-cost, cheap gadgets. On the contrary, it is still more face-saving to get it. After all, the average person doesn't. Moreover, these things are not sent every day, they are only sent during the New Year's holidays, and they don't cost a few dollars.

As for the professional qualities of these 320 old brothers? Marin really didn't have any expectations. After all, they're all rough guys. It is simply not delusional to expect them to solve cases like the police of later generations.

These rough guys don't know anything but war. Let them be police officers, in fact, it is a joke. Because of his distrust of their ability to solve crimes, Marin didn't even abolish the existence of those sheriffs.

After all, although those sheriffs are not necessarily good people, their professional qualities are certainly much better than those of these rough men......

These traditional sheriffs are often ruthless people who are more famous in the local area, and they can calm the scene. Moreover, they are clear about local affairs and will not make a mess of things. For example, those people can be provoked, those people should not be provoked, and these magistrates are awake. Even the mayors of the towns are not as well-informed as these sheriffs.

Because, most of those mayors are from aristocratic families, and their circles are different. They generally have little contact with civilian circles, or disdain to contact with civilians, and naturally know much less information. And the sheriffs are different, they are all ruthless people in the local area, and even gangsters. They usually come into contact with the three religions and nine streams, and they don't know how many times better than those town mayors.

Sometimes, when there is a murder or brawl in the local area, these old and spicy magistrates can guess who did it according to the victim's social connections without having to go out. This is the power of the earth snake, which is much better than the dragon crossing the river.

In addition, when there are conflicts and disputes among the local people, these local snake magistrates go to mediate, and a scare can make the two sides of the trouble quickly calm down. And if you change to someone who has no prestige, it will definitely be difficult to succeed.

Therefore, Marin did not think of replacing those snake-like sheriffs with these 320 rough men under his command in the end. Because, these rough men do not have the ability to maintain local stability.

However, if the original sheriff system was retained, Marin was not reconciled. Because it means that he doesn't have enough control over the place. Sometimes, the words of the magistrates in the places were more effective than the lords. How can this be tolerated by Marin, who is bent on centralizing power?

Moreover, some sheriffs are also a local scourge. They entangled a gang of hooligans to bring disaster to the people in the township. On the contrary, it can still get away with it.

Why? Because the people have no channel to sue them......

In this era, serfs could not leave the manor casually. Even if you go to the town, you have to get the consent of the lord of the manor, let alone go to a city a little farther away? Therefore, even if someone wants to sue them, there is no channel. Not to mention, even if you sue, you may not win. Perhaps, they will be brutally retaliated against afterwards.

……

Therefore, Marin took advantage of this opportunity to hide troops and formed a police force and scattered it to various towns and villages. In addition to raising soldiers, it is the right to divide the magistrate.

The presence of the police makes it unnecessary for the gangsters under the sheriff to exist. Moreover, Marin did not allow the sheriff to keep a helper anymore.

Marin stipulates that in the future, local public security mediation will still be dominated by sheriffs. However, when it comes to armed action to suppress the mob, the sheriff is not allowed to use help, but only the police.

The procedure is as follows - the sheriff feels the need to go to the police and greets the sheriff. The sheriff will then dispatch a corresponding number of police officers depending on the severity of the situation. If necessary, 20 auxiliary police officers can be called in to act together.

As a result, the sheriff is left with decision-making power, but no executive power. If he does something, the police will naturally cooperate. However, if he wants to fish the people and do some private work, the police may not be able to kill him. Because, the sheriffs are all retired officers, they are from the central system, and they are only loyal to Marin. The sheriffs would certainly not do anything that harmed the interests of Marin and the North Sea Country. After all, these sergeants are veterans who have served Marin for almost 20 years, and there is no problem with loyalty.

In this way, even if Marin does not have complete control of the place, he can still firmly control the situation through these loyal sheriffs. Moreover, there is no need to worry about local forces acting against each other. Because, if you have mastered the police force, you will report everything in the local area.

……

Even, Marin felt that this model of using a local sheriff and a retired military officer as a sergeant to control the local police was more advanced than the police model of later generations.

Why? It was a mistake to hand over the appointment of local police officers to local governments. Because, in this case, the police chiefs promoted by the local leaders can easily become the dogs and thugs of the magistrates. As long as the local police are in their hands, some corrupt officials can really do whatever they want.

As long as the news is blocked and those who dare to complain are caught, the magistrate can basically become the emperor of the soil. "The sky is high and the emperor is far away", this is not a joke.

Of course, after the future generations starved for the Internet and mobile phones, everything was different. Because, people can break the news through the Internet. In this way, many problems have been exposed, so that Mr. Xi has to take action.

But, what about before? Is it okay? No, just as many questions. It's just that because the people had no channels to complain at that time, and those corrupt officials often controlled the local police and blocked the news. As a result, many of the problems remain unrevealed. After all, before the 21st century, there was no way for people who had been wronged to appeal because of the poor exchange of information.

So thank you for the web and mobile phones. This shattered the dreams of some bastards who wanted to cover the sky with one hand......

……

It's just that it's the 16th century, and there is no internet, and there are no mobile phones. Marin is a liberal arts student, and he can't make these things. If there really were officials in the evil place, there was nothing he could do.

Later generations also established police systems in various places, is it useful? Useless! As long as those corrupt officials control the public security and judicial organs, and control the violent organs such as the police department, they can really do whatever they want.

However, if you send the police down from above, because you don't know the local situation and don't have any prestige, you often can't get things done.

So, Marin came up with this system of "sheriff and sheriff coexist". At its core, the sheriff is to be in charge of things, but loyal veteran officers are assigned to control the police force. In this way, the magistrate who was born as a snake in the land could not cause trouble to the local area because he did not have thugs in his hands, but he could solve local affairs. And the sheriff sent down from above does not have to face the embarrassment of not being able to carry out work because he is not familiar with the place. However, the control of the armed forces by these loyal retired officers also ensured central control over the localities.

After all, when it comes to loyalty, is there anything more trustworthy than a 20-year veteran? In addition, these sheriffs can also act as eyes and ears, reflecting the real situation in the local area......
