It is estimated that the construction of the theater will take several months, and it will take a long time to invite experienced theater actors from Italy. Therefore, while Marin ordered the recruitment of handsome men and women with good voices and a strong desire for performance among young men and women in the country, he continued to revise the script.
Before, in Marin's script, there was a plot where the goddess of wisdom persuaded the main god. Marin thought about it, and it seemed that there was no goddess of wisdom in Christianity. Moreover, in Christianity, only the Virgin Mary can be said to be a generally accepted female god. Moreover, even if it is the Holy Mother, there are factions that do not recognize its status as a god.
In later generations, the influence of religion has declined, and it is okay to make mistakes, but in this era, Marin cannot be mistaken. In fact, Marin wrote the goddess of wisdom into the script before, completely confusing Christian culture with Greek culture. After discovering this mistake, Marin quickly corrected it, canceled the plot, and instead sent "Einstein" directly by God to redeem Marin.
Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, Marin kept the story unchanged, but all the names used other names. For example, the protagonist’s name is not Marin himself, but the name Matthew, which is the same name as Matthew, one of the twelve apostles who wrote the Gospel of Matthew.
Then Lady Mary was replaced by Lady Maria, Old Hoffman was replaced by Old Hoffman, Adler was replaced by Adler…
In short, Marin didn't say it was himself, but anyone who has watched the drama will understand-this is about Marin...
While revising the script, Marin also had to deal with Angela who came back carefully to prevent her from discovering the affair between himself and Felice.
But Felice is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She always pesters Marin and asks for happiness. However, Marin obviously had no chance at night. Because, he was going to sleep with Angela. In desperation, in order to deal with Felice, Marin moved the location of the lunch break from the front yard of the palace to a remote corner on the left side of the junction between the front yard and the back yard of the palace. Then, Felice's residence was moved to the left side of the backyard of the palace, and there was a special passage leading to Marin's lunch break.
Ever since, every day at noon, during Marin's lunch break, Felice always quietly ran to the lunch break room to have sex with Marin. Both Marin and Felice felt extremely exciting. It's just that, in this way, Marin's body can't bear it. Fortunately, the honeymoon period with Angela is over, and Marin doesn't have to do that with Angela every night now. Otherwise, having to do that at noon and night every day, Marin's thin body would definitely not be able to bear it. But Felice, who was new to human affairs, liked this kind of feeling very much. In addition, she had a wild temper and was very proactive. Marin was made a little angry by her, so he just lay down on his lunch break and let Felice move on it...
Then, Kohler secretly sent people to the beef cattle slaughterhouse to look for more bullwhips. During this time, Marin ate kidney noodles early in the morning and the bullwhip soup that Battelle helped him cook at noon, barely protecting his body from being short.
At noon that day, Kohler personally came to Marin with the bullwhip soup made by Battelle. Obviously, he had something to tell Marin.
"Kohler, why did you bring the soup? What's the matter?" Marin saw Kohler holding the bullwhip soup himself, and at a glance he saw that Kohler had something to say. After all, Kohler is now a baron, and he is considered a big man in East Frisia, so he doesn't need to do the things that these servants do.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Master, you are so wise!" Kohler flattered him with a smile.
As a result, the bullwhip soup, after gnashing his teeth and eating it all, Marin wiped his mouth and said:
"Stop talking nonsense, young master, I have to go to the front office now, if you have something to say, hurry up!"
"It's like this, the boat that went to Venice to help Romeni and the others buy soda is back..."
"What? Is there something wrong?" Marin asked strangely. If it was a normal situation, such a trivial matter would not alarm him at all.
"No problem, but the person in charge of purchasing on the ship told me some news. I think it's not bad, so I'll report it to you, young master."
"What kind of news? Important?"
"Uh... It's not too important, but maybe it's important... In short, it's hard to say..."
"Then let's talk about it..."
"Yes, master. That's how it is. Alter (the buyer responsible for buying soda) met a merchant in Venice and sold him a very special product... Master, guess what it is..."
"Guess your uncle, tell me quickly! If you don't tell me, I will beat you!" Marin said angrily.
"Hey, master, let me just say it... that Venetian merchant took the trade route from the eastern part of the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, and has trade relations with the Crimean Khanate in the southeast..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"
"Yes! The Crimean Khanate is a bandit country. Every year, it goes to the Eastern European prairie to plunder the local population and sells them as slaves. The number of people sold every year reaches tens of thousands..."
Marin soon remembered the wonderful country of the Crimean Khanate. In later generations, the Crimea issue was once a very famous hot spot, attracting the attention of the whole world. Therefore, at that time, Marin also checked the relevant history of Crimea, and then was dumbfounded at what this country had done.
You know, the Crimean Khanate has a small population, only a few hundred thousand people. But they trafficked more than 2 million Eastern Europeans to all parts of the world during the 200 years from the fifteenth century to the eighteenth century. The main selling direction is Ottoman Turkey. On the Western European side, they also bought their slaves in small quantities. The city of Kaffa (now Feodosia) on the Crimean Peninsula was the largest export port of the Crimean Khanate's slave trade. In Kaffa Port, there are also many businessmen from Venice and Genoa. Therefore, Marin is not surprised that Venetian merchants have a channel for selling Eastern European slaves captured by the Crimean Khanate.
"I know this..." Marin planned Kohler's introduction. For this history, he knows a lot more than Kohler.
"You know that too?" Kohler was a little dumbfounded. When he just found out, he still thought it was an anecdote, but he didn't expect Marin to know everything...
"Well, isn't it that the Crimean Khanate arrested Eastern Europeans for slave trade? What's so strange?" Marin said indifferently.
"Okay, young master, you are amazing..."
"Don't flatter, get to the point!"
"Yes, sir! According to that Venetian merchant, it is very easy to buy slave girls from Kafa..."
"Slave? What do you want a slave for?" Marin looked suspicious. You know, Kohler is also a dignified baron, with a prominent status, what kind of woman can't be found? Kohler wants to buy female slaves. Could it be that he has a special hobby? Marin suddenly became interested...
"It's not me, young master, I'm thinking of the brothers in the army!"
"Brothers in the army? You mean, buy slave girls and reward single soldiers?"
"Yes, young master is wise, that's what I mean!"
"Sister Mao?" Marin held his chin, lost in thought.
There is no doubt that Maomei with mixed blood is very beautiful. Whether it is Russia or Ukraine, they are rich in beautiful women. Buying some Maomei beauties as rewards for bachelor soldiers to be wives can also boost morale.
Most of these young people who defected to Marin to serve as soldiers were bachelors whose families were poor and who had not been able to marry a wife. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to do a dangerous job like a mercenary with his head tied to his belt
No way, the German region is too poor. The land fertility and climate here are not as good as Italy, and most areas do not have the convenience of great navigation. Therefore, most parts of Germany are actually relatively poor. Especially in some mountainous areas, the mountain people lack livelihoods. That's why many poor Germans choose extremely dangerous mercenaries as their livelihood.
But what are these mercenaries with their heads tied to their waistbands after? It's nothing more than career and love (money and beauty). Sending them a beautiful hair girl is equivalent to completing half of their pursuit.
Moreover, there is currently a shortage of camp prostitutes in Marin's army. Marin has always opposed the reduction of women in the country, because it will affect the social order. However, these bold and passionate mercenaries also have physical needs, and they are relatively vigorous.
Marin did not allow them to go out to find prostitutes, because there was a risk of contracting syphilis. Syphilis, though suppressed by papal decree, has not been eradicated. Therefore, Marin did not allow soldiers to go outside to find vassal women, but only allowed them to find camp prostitutes.
However, the number of camp prostitutes is too small, and Marin has been worrying about it. After all, tens of thousands of young and strong men are in demand, and there are only a few dozen prostitutes in the camp, which is really not enough.
It is a good solution to buy Eastern European slaves captured by the Crimean Khanate. These female slaves can be used to reward soldiers for being wives if they are outstanding. Ordinary ones can also be bought in batches and used as camp prostitutes to meet the needs of soldiers without the risk of syphilis. After all, camp prostitutes are not open to the outside world, so they don't worry about contracting syphilis.
Of the tens of thousands of soldiers under Marin's command, most of them are bachelors. At present, only some of the soldiers with good economic conditions who were given land for military exploits found wives. And most of the soldiers are still alone.
Even though the more than 10,000 Saxons who were captured last time belonged to East Frisia, the Saxons also promised to send their families. However, there are also thousands of bachelors among them.
Therefore, East Frisia is actually very short of women now!
After a rough calculation, the current shortage of young women in East Frisia is as high as more than 10,000. This number shocked Marin a lot...
Therefore, Marin immediately adopted Kohler's suggestion to buy female slaves in Eastern Europe. Moreover, these Eastern European slave girls are also very cheap. According to the information obtained by Kohler’s subordinate Art, in Venice, an original Eastern European woman only needs 30 ducats; an ordinary-looking original girl only needs 20 ducats; gold.
Moreover, this is only the price on the Venice side. In fact, in Kaffa, the slave export port of the Crimean Khanate, the price of original Eastern European and American women is only 15 gold coins; the price of ordinary original girls is only 10 gold coins; It's only 4 gold coins... It's ridiculously cheap...
Moreover, it is said that male slaves over there are also very cheap. A strong adult man only needs 6 gold coins...
Of course, Marin now has no shortage of men, only women... After all, he has more than 10,000 bachelors "waiting to be fed"...
Therefore, Marin ordered to send a ship to buy 200 good-looking women to enrich the camp prostitutes and appease the turbulent hearts of the bachelor soldiers.
More than that, Marin actually has his own little evil thoughts in his heart-the more Crimeans capture people, the greater the impact on Russia in the future.
Even, Marin planned to secretly make a big order, specifying that the Crimeans should arrest people from the Grand Duchy of Moscow (Russia) as "commodities" for the transaction.
In this way, Marin can not only buy beautiful women to meet the needs of the soldiers, but also secretly drive the still strong Crimean Khanate to find trouble with the Russians and hinder their rise.
Marin knew the potential of the Russian Maozi. If they were allowed to develop and dominate Eastern Europe, they would pose a serious threat to the German region. Therefore, using interests to drive the bastards of the Crimean Khanate to plunder the Russian population in advance can not only meet their own needs, but also use the hands of the Crimean Khanate to weaken the Russians in disguise. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone...
Therefore, Marin decided to place a large order for the robbers of the Crimean Khanate for a long time, specifically to buy female slaves "produced" in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and drive the Crimean Khanate to find Maozi's trouble. Even if he has enough on his side, Marin will continue to place orders. The big deal is to reward the extra women as mistresses or female slaves. If it doesn't work, they can move to the American colonies for development. You know, Maozi women are also very hardworking, and they are not bad at work...
If Maozi is robbed of women every year, the fertility will be greatly affected, and the population will be difficult to grow. If the population does not grow, the source of soldiers will be limited. If you want to expand, you will be restricted.
In addition, Marin's ally, the Teutonic State, and Russia are also hostile. In this way, it can be regarded as helping the ally to weaken the opponent... It can be said to serve multiple purposes...
