In medieval Europe, cultured people were mainly divided into two groups - nobles and clergy. Marin asked the Danish king Hans to take the nobles away, which was only half the problem. For those literate Danish priests, it has not yet been resolved.

However, this is not a problem. Because, Marin has the support of the Holy See, and it is very simple to transfer these Danish priests on a large scale.

For example, when the Archdiocese of Bremen moves to Stendal, it will certainly take with it many important clergy of the Archdiocese of Bremen. In this way, the former Archbishopric of Bremen will vacate many places for clergy.

In this way, Marin could have transferred all the literate Danish clergy from Jutland to the former Archbishopric of Bremen. Then, German missionaries were selected from the German regions under his control to go to Jutland to conduct daily teaching affairs. Of course, because the German clergy did not speak Danish, it was difficult to communicate with the Danish people. Therefore, Marin chose to select Danish-speaking German missionaries in the Duchy of Schleswig to take charge of the mission.

The Duchy of Schleswig is a very special place, a place that is dominated by Germans to the south (later to Germany) and to the north by Danes (later to Denmark). Although it is located in the north and south, the Germans and Danes of the Duchy of Schleswig still have a lot of overlap. After all, in the same country.

As a result, many of the missionaries in the Duchy of Schleswig spoke both German and Danish. Moreover, the number of missionaries who spoke both German and Danish was considerable, more than half of the total number of missionaries in the Duchy of Schleswig.

Of course, although they are bilingual, the missionaries of the Duchy of Schleswig still choose their own language as their mother tongue. Another language, just to make it easier to communicate with people. When writing, German missionaries still choose German, while Danish missionaries still choose Danish. Therefore, if you bring Danish-speaking German missionaries to the Danish area of Jutland, you don't have to worry that those German missionaries will help the Danes pass on their culture.

And those Danish missionaries, Marin decided to use the authorization given by the Holy See to transfer all of them to the German region, even if they did not do anything in vain. The Danish missionaries of Jutland were then taken over by the Danish-speaking German missionaries of the Duchy of Schleswig.

Then, in the name of the Church, Marin would set up a number of primary schools in the Danes to teach and write German to local children. At the same time, all official documents and books in Jutland are in German. As for the Danish language, Marin did not prohibit it either, but did not allow it to be used in writing, treating it as a dialect without words. However, the Danes, who did not speak German, would always be serfs and would not be given the opportunity to change their fate.

……

At the same time, Marin will also choose to resettle Jutland, and send a large number of German refugees to Jutland. Although Jutland is not large, it is relatively flat, and there is a lot to be done in both cropping and animal husbandry.

In later generations, Denmark was one of the most developed agricultural countries in Europe, known as the "European food cupboard", and ranked high in Europe in terms of grain production and meat production. Moreover, Denmark exports pork to the world's first, with a per capita wheat production of nearly one ton (Denmark's population of more than 5 million), while China's is only more than 90 kilograms. Of course, Huaxia is based on rice as its staple food, which is not easy to compare. However, it also shows the development of Danish agriculture in later generations.

Although Denmark's agriculture is developed due to its high-tech components, the most important thing is that Denmark has a lot of land available for agriculture. In later generations, Denmark had a land area of 43,000 square kilometers (excluding the Faroe Islands), and there were 29,000 square kilometers of arable land - Nima, which accounted for 67% of the country's land area. What is the proportion of China? Less than a tenth......

Moreover, although there was a lot of arable land in later China, a lot of arable land was barren. The lands in the north, especially in the northwest, are severely short of water. Denmark, on the other hand, is not short of water at all. There were no problems other than the climate being a little cooler. Therefore, the Danes in later generations were able to make agricultural miracles.

Of course, because of the relationship between Marin the traverser, it will be difficult for Denmark in later generations to have a miracle. Because, Jutland, the largest land area in Denmark, was robbed by Marin. Later, it was Marin who went into agriculture on Jutland.

Marin knew that the land of Jutland was fertile and flat, with a lot of arable land, at least more than half of it. The Jutland Peninsula, including the Duchy of Schleswig, is almost 30,000 square kilometers, and the arable land is 15,000 square kilometers. Converted into acres, that's 3.7 million acres, or 1.85 million eugrams, or 22.46 million acres......

Of course, this is the ideal situation. Moreover, it was the end of the Middle Ages, and agriculture was purely manual. There is so much land, and there are not so many people to reclaim it!

In Jutland, for example, there are only 250,000 Danes, or tens of thousands of middle-aged laborers, of the newly acquired Jutland Peninsula, which is about 20,000 square kilometers of land. A family of five cultivates 100 acres of land. 250,000 people, up to 5 million acres of land......

However, these 250,000 people are not all farmers, but also many fishermen and people from all walks of life. Therefore, the biggest problem now is the serious shortage of population.

If you want to make good use of the more than 20 million acres of land, you need at least 200,000 families of five, that is, more than 1 million people. Moreover, this is all an agricultural population......

Therefore, Marin's plan is that since there is a shortage of people, then we will immigrate Germans from poor places in Germany......

When the time comes, the German population will be superior, and you are still worried that the Danes will make waves? Besides, Marin also intends to encourage intermarriage between Germans and Danes. They all belonged to the Germanic people, and apart from the language and customs, there were not many differences. And then intermarriage, plus the German majority, it didn't take a few decades to assimilate here.

If more than half of Jutland were to be turned into farmland and pasture, Marin would suffer from hand cramps just by collecting rent......

Of course, for military purposes, Marin intends to divide half of the 30,000 square kilometers of land in Jutland into two main parts: arable land and pasture......

There was so much labor needed to cultivate the land, and Marin planned to reclaim half of it, mainly the fertile areas along the rivers and the areas that were convenient for irrigation. The other half, not near rivers and lakes, is used as pastures, planted with alfalfa grass and raised fine wool sheep, cattle and horses. Of course, it is also possible to develop the strong breeding industry in Denmark in the future - pig farming......

At that time, the fertile Jutland Peninsula will become the granary and meat silo in the hands of Marin. At the same time, a large number of war horses and cheese products can also be supplied.

The cows naturally choose Dutch white cows, and the war horses, Marin chooses the Mongolian horses of Eastern Europe, that is, the Don hippopotamus of later generations. Although the mounts of this Cossack cavalry were not as good as those of noble horses such as Arabian horses, they were superior to endurance and rough breeding. Just put it on the grass and eat grass, and you can feed it. Only when you are very tired (such as after a long run with a person) do you need to add some concentrate. Unlike European war horses, they usually have to be ** material. Nima's three or five horses are easy to say, if it is tens of thousands of horses, the cost is simply amazing.

Therefore, in the history of Europe, the scale of cavalry has always been small. But poor Tsarist Russia can often dispatch tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Cossack cavalry, sweeping in all directions. During World War I, Tsarist Russia even dispatched a million Cossack cavalry. It's just that in the face of the German machine-gun array, it didn't please well.

However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Tsar, who was able to dispatch tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry at will, was called the "steamroller of Europe", which made the whole of Europe tremble......

Therefore, Marin decided to create more settlements like Cossack villages in Jutland, in those pastoral areas other than arable land.

Marin would then select young men from the German youth who liked to ride horses and had a fierce personality to join the villages. Marlin would give them pastures, but they had to pay a small tax and fight for Marin without conditions.

In normal times, these young men rode Eastern European Mongolian horses to graze in the pastures of Jutland, and when they were not happy, Marin would arrange for the village chief to organize these young men to practice wrestling, horse fighting, and mounted archery.

Their village chief is equivalent to the commander of a cavalry company under Ma Lin. Once the war breaks out, the village chief will transform into the leader of the cavalry company and lead the whole village to fight for Marin...... This model is somewhat similar to the Manchu Eight Banners system - "if you enter, you will be the people, and if you go out, you will be a soldier".

In this way, Marin only needs to pay some grass to get a large number of brave cavalry, which is definitely a good deal. Moreover, they do not pay taxes, and they still have to pay 10% of the tax every year. Only in war years will there be tax exemptions.

Because the village chief will often organize young men to practice martial arts and tactics, so when it comes to war, these cavalry will not be very bad in combat. Strictly speaking, their village is a half-barracks.

And Marin recruited them during the war, and it didn't cost much money, at most to subsidize them with some food and feed for war horses. There is no need to pay them either, their land is a salary.

In this way, Marin usually did not need to spend money to support them, but after the war began, he was able to recruit a large number of excellent cavalry. The more villages like this, the more cavalry there are in Marin.

Marin did not want to have hundreds of thousands of Cossacks like the Tsar, but only wanted to be satisfied with one or two thousand Cossack cavalry in wartime.

As for the name of the village, Marin didn't bother to think about it, and directly cottaged it, so it was called "Cossack Village". The cavalry that came out was also called a Cossack. Anyway, right now, the genuine Cossack has not yet appeared. If you get it out first, it's genuine......

What's the matter, when there are more Cossack villages under his command, who dares to disagree? I sent tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry to your house to smash and loot......
