The aristocracy also wants face, that is, they care a lot about the so-called "honor". It is impossible for them to say that they are afraid that Marin has destroyed the original social order, and they have no face to say that Marin's practice of appointing civilian generals has ruined the future of the children of the nobles. Therefore, they can only grasp the more obvious black point of "Marin is the emperor's dog's leg and may help the emperor unify Germany".

And under the crowd, many people who don't know the truth still mistakenly believe that it is true. Even Marin himself believed it and thought that he was dragged down by the emperor. How did he know that the princes were just worried that there would be too many Marins in this world and replace them. At the same time, many old aristocrats are also worried that their children who have no inheritance rights will not find a job. That's why most of the old aristocrats are so hostile to Marin.

In the end, Marin still endangered the survival of many noble children. Not every noble child has the ability, or in other words, most of the noble children are actually very poor. If the "inferior people" from humble backgrounds can rise to the top casually, or even become princes, how can these incompetent "noble blood" people live?

Marin is considered a smart person even among the traversers, but because of the cultural differences of hundreds of years, he has long been accustomed to the modern thinking of "everyone is equal" and "the capable are superior, and the mediocre are made" in later generations, and he didn't notice how much impact his kind of party had on the nobles of this era.

Not to mention that those incompetent nobles felt threatened, even those powerful nobles were very dissatisfied with this. After all, who doesn't have a few incompetent gentlemen? Just because you have the ability doesn't mean that future generations will also have the ability. Marin replaces the incompetent noble children with capable commoners, which is purely smashing the jobs of most of the noble children!

In this era, because of the "firstborn son takes all" inheritance system. Therefore, it is very sad for the children of the nobility who are not the eldest sons. Among them, only a small number of them can take refuge in the family because of the strength of the family, and continue to eat and wait for death. For example, the other sons of the king and the duke can also mix a fief and continue to eat and wait for death. And the less wealthy aristocratic families, or the aristocratic families with lower titles, the other sons can only go out to earn a living. There are two main directions to make a living, one is to serve as a subordinate official to his brother or other big nobles. After all, in this era, most Europeans were illiterate, and the children of the aristocracy were literate. As long as you don't die, you can basically mix up an official and a half-job.

This is a bit like before the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, because the family monopolized knowledge, the children of the family could always get an official and a half position. But Marin taught civilians to read and write, and promoted civilians to become officers and even civilian officials, which was tantamount to smashing the jobs of the children of the nobility.

Although it is reasonable for Marin to choose capable people to hold important positions, in the eyes of those nobles, it is equivalent to letting the children of nobles who are not outstanding in ability die. For them, not being able to hold official positions and gain glory and wealth is tantamount to letting them die......

The Sui Dynasty came up with the imperial examination system in order to break the monopoly of the family on the official class. As a result, those families didn't say anything on the surface, but they stabbed them hard behind their backs, and they tossed a strong Sui Dynasty away.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also went through a series of struggles with the family, but still failed to complete the work. Sometimes, Li Shimin has to make some concessions. It wasn't until Wu Zetian ascended to the throne that he relied on disgraceful means such as encouraging whistleblowers, framing and planting all kinds of false accusations, and killing many people, that the family was suppressed.

Similarly, Marin smashed the jobs of aristocratic children like this, and the resistance he encountered at the beginning must have been huge. Just like his plan to recruit soldiers and immigrants, he was opposed and obstructed by many princes.

Fortunately, the Beihai Kingdom, like the Tang Dynasty, was strong and strong, and was not afraid of such opposition and obstruction. However, it is inevitable to encounter a lot of troubles in the early stage.

As for the other way out for the nobles who are not the eldest sons, it is more helpless, and that is to become a priest......

Becoming a clergyman saved a lot of money on marriage, and it was a favorite tool for poor princes. After all, the marriage of princes and princesses of the princes is not a joke, and the cost is amazing. It's like Denmark married a princess to King James III of Scotland, but because he couldn't afford the dowry, he directly ceded Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands to the Kingdom of Scotland as a dowry.

Of course, because it is too dangerous to have a child in this era, it is difficult to give birth to the queen at every turn. Therefore, the princesses still don't have to worry about getting married. Especially as the stepfamily of the monarch of the dead queen, there is not much need for dowry.

But the princes of the poor princes' families were unlucky, and they could not afford to give their other sons the property, nor could they afford to pay the high cost of taking wives. As a result, some nobles simply made their sons who were not the firstborn sons clergy. Of course, because of his aristocratic status, he started out not as an ordinary clergyman, but as a high-ranking clergyman with a certain status. For example, the Pope's relatives and descendants are even more powerful when they become clergymen, and they directly become cardinals...... Although the princes are not so good, it is still okay to ask for a position that is not low with the church.

Even, some children of the nobility (mainly in the German region) were able to run for the Church Princes of the German Church States after becoming high priests. And after becoming a prince of the church, he can also subsidize and help the original raise. For example, Bishop Conrad, who previously served as Bishop of Münster......

Of course, it was a very helpless choice to let his son become a priest. Under normal circumstances, the main way out for most noble children is to become officials. After all, they are of noble birth and culture.

After all, if a son becomes a priest, there is no legitimate heir. Once the eldest son is gone, the fief will fall into the hands of other families. Therefore, the average family will not let their son become a priest unless they have to, and they are afraid that the family will be the heir. Unless, there are too many sons, and there are several, one or two will be chosen to be priests.

But if you are not a priest, you have to be an official, you have to have a decent position. Therefore, the nobles naturally did not allow the commoners to compete with them for official positions. Even if it is a military attache who goes to the battlefield and fights hard, it is a radish and a pit, how can civilians be allowed to rob it? Marin's behavior of letting civilians hold civilian and military positions also annoyed them......

They didn't want their own children to become officials in the Beihai Kingdom, but they were afraid that Marin would take the lead and let other princes follow suit.

If the North Sea Country was still the East Friesian Lamber Country, which was only more than 3,000 square kilometers, they might not care very much. However, Marin's current Beihai Kingdom covers an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, which is about to account for a quarter of the area of the Holy Roman Empire, and the impact is too great.

Therefore, many nobles tacitly did not mention this matter, but in the name of "the emperor's lackey", they blackened Marin to death......

……

Marin was unaware of this because his mind was influenced by modern thought. And his two allies, who were aware of it, refused to tell him......

Whether it was Emperor Maximilian I or John II, Duke Clive of the Lamarck family, they all knew the reason why Marin was hacked. After all, both men are old foxes.

However, both chose not to tell Marin the truth......

Why? Maximilian I believed that Marin's hostility to the princes was in favor of the Habsburgs in wooing Marin. Otherwise, if Marin reconciles with the princes, the Habsburgs will not only lose a strong reinforcement, but may also have one more strong enemy. Therefore, Maximilian I will not tell Marin the truth unless he is nervous!

And John II, Duke of Clifford, although married to the Hoffman family, but the Duchy of Clifford is next to the North Sea Kingdom, and the Lamarck family actually has no sense of security. After all, the Beihai ** affair is too powerful.

If Marin reconciles with most of the princes, when the time comes, if the Beihai Kingdom sends troops to annex the Duchy of Cleaver, it is estimated that no one will stand up to help speak. And Marin and the princes are hostile, which is in the interests of the Lamarck family. Because, in the case that most of the princes were hostile to the North Sea State, Marin needed the support of his allies. Otherwise, everyone is friendly to Marin, and the Lamarck family will have no use value for the North Sea Country, and if they say annexation, they will annex it......

Therefore, Marin's two allies knew the important reason for Marin's poor relationship with the princes, but they invariably chose to remain silent...... Because, it's good for them not to mention this......
