Before he knew it, the 5,000 copies of the German edition of the Examination of the Origins of European Nationalities, which Marin had ordered to be sold, were quickly sold out in Germany through the Church's connections.

Because of the low pricing, the book sells well. At the current high price of paper in Europe, Marin's pricing of the book is not profitable at all.

But who knows that the paper mill on Cape Breton Island, owned by Marin, has an advanced pulp processing process that makes the cost of paper very low. The price of 2 shillings seems to be a loss, but in fact the profit is still very large.

Marin remembers that British newspapers, before the advent of advanced papermaking in the mid-19th century, sold for 1 shilling a copy. In the mid-19th century, after the physical and chemical methods of pulp were introduced, the price of newspapers plummeted, directly to the level of a penny, a direct drop of 12 times.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, this "Examination of the Origin of European Nationalities", which does not make money and even loses some money, Marin is actually very profitable.

Because Marin vigorously advocated the behavior of the Germanic peoples, the Germans who read this book were greatly satisfied and proud. The missionaries didn't think much of it, but the nobles and knights got excited when they saw Marin evaluate the Germanic peoples, including the Germans, as a "fighting people......

"Haha, we are a 'fighting nation'! Just for this conclusion, when drinking a big glass! "In many taverns, some of the drunken knights were overjoyed by Marin's conclusion.

Knights survive and are proud of their bravery. Marin defined the Germans as a "fighting nation", which was directly to find the bright spots for those knights in terms of blood. This greatly satisfied the vanity of the German knights, so Marin's book quickly sold out......

Then, the merchants who had reluctantly helped Marin sell books immediately sent someone to inform Marin - hurry up and reprint!

As a result, the printing plant was reopened......

Fortunately, those lead molds are still there, and they have not been re-disassembled. Therefore, there is no need to re-typeset for printing, and you can print directly with ink.

Marin knew for a long time that the book would be a sensation, and in the 20th century, the mustachioed Führer relied on this set to gain huge support in Germany. It's the 16th century, the war-torn era, and it's estimated that those knights will be more interested in this book.

Sure enough, the knights and warlike nobles were triumphant after reading this "Examination of the Origins of European Nations", and boasted that they were warriors of a "fighting nation".

Well, the nation is already a fighting nation, and the knights are the best among the fighting nations...... Oh my god, this is heaven......

Because Marin mentioned in "Examination of the Origin of European Peoples" that the Germanic peoples were the strongest "peas" that God had sprinkled on Northern and Central Europe, and they were endowed with courage and strength by God. So, now the knights drank and talked with the nobles, and liked to quote these words.

For example, at some banquets, some German nobles will triumphantly declare - "We are the strongest 'peas' sown by God......"

And many knights now brag and will also say - "We have been endowed with courage and strength by God, so we are the warriors of the strongest 'fighting nation'......"

Because of this book, it is said that the business of beer halls in Germany has improved by 20%. The knights gulped down their beers and boasted loudly about their glorious history and the pride of being warriors in the "fighting nation".

Even those civilians who are not knights have the honor of drinking in the beer hall and listening to the boasts of the knights. After all, the knights said that we are a "fighting nation". Although he is not a warrior like the knights, he is also a member of the fighting nation, what he didn't say, men just want to fight! For the sake of fighting, cheers......

As a result, business in beer halls throughout Germany has improved a lot. Of course, there are a lot more drunk and troublesome men. Many German men, after getting drunk, shouted "fighting nation" and fought with people......

As a result, while beer was selling well throughout Germany, there were also many more fights. After all, it's a "fighting nation...... If you don't accept it, you do it!

This also led to the fact that many hot-blooded young people, as soon as they were fooled, chose the dangerous profession of being mercenaries. After all, if the "fighting nation" does not fight as soldiers, doesn't that seem unworthy of the name?

Then, many young people in the southern mountains went to the recruitment office set up by Marin in the southern mountains and asked:

"Hey, brother, are you Grand Duke still recruiting?"

The people in the office looked confused - I haven't heard that the Grand Duke wants to recruit soldiers, why are so many stunned people to be soldiers?

Marin, who received the news, was also a little confused - what's going on? Is the moral will of the nation really a fighting nation? There is actually a peasant brother who takes the initiative to become a soldier and die for his life?

After sending someone to investigate, Marin found out with a smile that it was the "Examination of the Origin of European Nationalities" that was to blame.

However, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing......

Why? Marin thought about it, and he didn't know when there would be another war...... It doesn't hurt to absorb some fresh blood......

Moreover, this time, Marin did not recruit a regular army, but intended to recruit a reserve corps......

What is a Reserve Corps? In fact, it is the militia......

The so-called militia is a second-class type of armed force that cultivates land in peacetime and takes up arms to participate in battles in wartime.

Among them, the article "usually farming" is very important. Because, Marin newly acquired a large amount of land, but unfortunately, there was a lack of labor. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit a group of laborers to help with farming.

It's a pity that Marin has already recruited a lot of people before recruiting the poor. Most of the people recruited before were poor people who couldn't survive, so they had to leave their hometowns and follow Marin.

But this time is different, those young men who took the initiative to join the army may not be too poor to survive. They just want to fight, not forced to leave their hometown to make a living.

Therefore, Marin's plan is to deceive these people in the name of recruiting soldiers first. Then, give them the status of a militia. But in fact, they usually help Marin's manor farm......

Of course, Marin won't treat these lads badly. If there are single people, Marin can also help buy some hairy girls to be their wives. Moreover, their usual food must be much better than that of serfs in the southern regions. After all, the softer "Kohler bread" with grass bran is sufficient. Moreover, during the festival, it can also be distributed to salted fish to eat...... Let's ask, in this era, how many serfs can make enough bread and give salted fish during the holidays?

In this way, with the help of this shareholder wind, Ma Lin can trick many hot-blooded young people to come over and help him cultivate a large area of newly acquired land and become a serf in disguise.

Of course, Marin is not completely denied a chance. Among these newly recruited enthusiastic youths, if good seedlings are found, they can also be selected to be added to the regular army, and the treatment is preferential. As for the average performance, it's better to be a militia honestly. I usually help myself with farming, and pull it out to practice when the farm is not working. When war breaks out, it may not be used to fight a tough battle. However, there is no problem in handing over the rear city to them......

……

In addition, because of the popularity of "Examination of the Origin of European Nations" in Germany, Marin was also pleasantly surprised to find that many German nobles and knights had a great change in their perception of Marin, and many people's favorability towards Marin had greatly increased......

It is no wonder that the mustache originally relied on advocating the excellence of the German nation, but it attracted a large number of brainless fans and die-hard loyalists. Although Marin can't attract any brainless fans and diehards, it is also beneficial to gain the favor of a large number of nobles and knights. The most direct benefit is that when you are beaten by a group one day in the future, there will be many nobles who have a good impression of you who will not participate......
