Chapter 1217 Is the Parliament going to restore?
After giving the order, Malin suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Did there be any problems with the 400 brothers we had with me on Texel?
Marin cared about this very much because the 400 old brothers who were originally given to Baron Texel, who knew that Marin used manure, fish bones and fish internal organs as fertilizer. At that time, Marin had not yet established a fertilizer processing farm, and used manure as fertilizer as stench, so the 400 old brothers must have known it. It was not until he took down the country of East Friesland that Marin began to cover people's eyes and establish a special fertilizer processing farm. The treated feces, after drying and weathering for a long time, the odor became very faint. Adding apatite and potassium salt, it was difficult to identify them. But no matter how they changed, the 400 old brothers still knew about feces, fish internal organs and fish internal organs as fertilizer.
Shaoer was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and said:
"It seems that I haven't heard of those old brothers betrayed, young master, you know, those old brothers are all poor mountain people and even serfs, and their families have moved here, so there is basically no possibility of betrayal."
"And this time, the wandering knights were basically those who came to surrender but were not reused. You know, they all came from low-level noble families such as knights or barons, and usually had elder brothers left behind in their hometowns. Generally, only wandering knights who had a good time in the Beihai Kingdom will bring their fathers and brothers and others together. Those who were just as well-off, fathers and brothers were still aristocrats in other vassal states. And this time, those princes infiltrated the Beihai Kingdom's army, and it was mainly the fathers and brothers of those who acted as intermediaries to win over them..."
"So that's it..." Marin suddenly realized.
The children of these noble families generally do not put eggs in one basket. The eldest son often serves the duke, while the second son may serve the other person. Even brothers belong to different hostile camps.
But this is also impossible. Apart from the eldest son who inherited the family business, the Baron and the other sons of the knights, they had to become wandering knights and look for opportunities everywhere. It would be nice to have a great noble to take in it, and they could not be allowed to pick and choose. Just like during the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was in Shu Kingdom, while his brother Zhuge Jin served in Eastern Wu.
These noble children are often flexible and may not be willing to work hard for a great noble. If the benefits of betrayal are great enough, they will not be polite.
For example, this time, if they take the secret of high agricultural yield to other great nobles, they will definitely be valued. After all, all the nobles of the princes and nobles are super landlords these days. High agricultural yields are definitely very important for them.
If Marin hadn't kept the secret strictly, did not reveal it to others easily, and even fertilized the noble fields, the fertilizer processing grounds would have sent personnel to fertilize them, so that the noble servants would not let the fertilizer touch, the secret of the fertilizer would have been leaked long ago.
Thinking of this, Marin ordered Kohler:
"Send spies to monitor fertilizer processing plants in various places, and anyone who approaches and peeps into fertilizer processing plants will monitor them, and then follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes..."
But Kohler shook his head and said:
"No need to be so troublesome. Those stray knights who have been won are officers. We just need to monitor the fertilizer processing farms near the army camp and the fertilizer processing farms near their respective estates. If the fertilizer processing farms across the country are sent, there will be insufficient staff."
Marin thought it was right. Any officer would have to live in the military camp, or go back to his own manor on vacation. Just investigate the fertilizer processing farms near the military camp and those officers and residents, and you can achieve your goal. Moreover, any officer who is not good at doing well will not be so smart that he deliberately chooses a fertilizer processing farm far away from the military camp or his own land to peek into the secrets...
...
After arranging the issue of agricultural confidentiality protection, Malin asked about his family and the government affairs.
There was nothing big at Marin's family. It is said that when Angela and Ferris were fine, they would take some ladies to the palace to play mahjong or cards to relieve boredom. Marin's previous regulations prohibiting normal men from entering the backyard of the palace would not allow wild men to get into the palace.
As for internal affairs, there are some problems. The main reason is that some unsatisfactory old nobles have not been demanding the restoration of the parliament in the past year to gain enough voice.
In fact, the parliament of this era had nothing to do with the people. They were all nobles who became parliamentarians, and no matter how rich the businessman was, they were not qualified to be parliamentarians. But Marin was afraid that the parliament would cause trouble for him at the time, so he took advantage of the opportunity to kill all the opposition nobles of the East Frieslander Kingdom to abolish the parliament.
Then, except for those who were reused by Marin, those old nobles were all idle and had nothing to do at home...
How could these old nobles who lost their power be willing to lose their original power? You should know that the members of the parliament united and even the king would often give in.
But Marin's reputation was too bad. When he was at home, these nobles did not dare to blow up the thorns. Even in the first year when Marin came to open the country, they did not dare to move. Until the rumors of Marin's death came, these people dared to come out and jump around and connect.
"Haha...restore parliament..." Marin sneered.
In fact, until later generations, people advocated the so-called superiority of the parliamentary system. But Marin knew that the parliamentary system was not necessary.
It can be seen that this thing is really not a necessary thing. Blowing it into a necessary thing is just a propaganda by politicians to gild their faces. Otherwise, how can they prove their "reasonability"?
In later generations, multiple political systems coexisted, and everyone shamelessly boasted about the "advanced nature" of their own political systems and poured dirty water on each other. Marin agreed with Taizong's words - no matter white cats and black cats, a good cat is a good one if you can catch mice...
Therefore, it is true that you can promote the system of your paralyzed problems.
No matter which party it is, it represents the interests of a group. For example, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party have representative interest groups and will not represent the whole people. No matter who comes to power, there will be benefits and others will suffer losses. This is an irreconcilable contradiction and it is also a game where dogs bite dogs.

Therefore, Marin has no tendency to ZZ in his previous life or this life, and only sees who can make the country stronger. No matter how loud a Niu Bi is, it is useless to come up with good results.
Just like the British Magna Carta, later generations seemed to be very progressive and civilized. But in the era of its birth, there was no progress at all. It was clearly the result of the king and the noble dog biting the dog. The king could not bite the nobles and the group of evil dogs, and was forced to sign the alliance under the city.
Because, in the early days, the Magna Carta was not about the civilian affairs, and the parliament controlled by the nobles benefited. The real civilians had to wait until the 19th century to enter the parliament.
On the contrary, China's imperial examination system allowed civilians to participate in the ZZ very early and had the opportunity to become the top leaders who dominate the world.
Therefore, although China was in power in a feudal dynasty, the society was relatively stable because of the fair imperial examination system. This fairness far exceeded the civil service examinations that were conducted in later generations, so the society was relatively stable. The reason why China had a feudal period of two thousand years was that the imperial examination system made an indelible contribution.
But after the so-called advanced system replaced the feudal system, the hereditary system actually appeared.
Then, what Hong's family appeared, what second and third generations...
In the imperial examination era, there was no family that had long been in power. Even if the chief minister of the cabinet, his descendants might not be able to pass the Jinshi. If a chief minister of the cabinet fails to study, he will decline after two or three generations. Of course, the imperial examination system itself appeared to attack aristocratic families. But what is ridiculous is that because of the successor and on-the-job system, the Hong family later appeared...
The emergence of these aristocratic families is the same as the hereditary aristocrats. The cake of power is so big. If the nobles eat too much, Marin will eat less. Therefore, Marin will never allow any hereditary aristocrats to control the parliament to fight against him. Therefore, he will never allow the parliament to restore the parliament, and even kill him at all costs.
But to fight against these aristocratic classes, Marin must also have his own team. Therefore, Marin opened a wide range of schools and founded a university in order to compete with hereditary aristocrats by cultivating talents.
Then, Marin prepared to learn from later Britain and give honor to civilians with strong abilities and great contributions, but not hereditary, but a lifelong title like Ferguson. Then, he used a group of college student officials and veterans who had awarded merit to fight against the traditional aristocratic class...
