In fact, Marin treated his brothers like this completely "out of the ordinary". Because Marin's kingdom was not inherited from Old Hoffman, but was built by himself.

If we insist on inheritance, the inheritance rights of Madame Mary's Earl of East Friesland did give great help to Marin in the early days. However, it was also given to him by Adler. Therefore, Madame Mary had no problem in compensating Adler for a country. However, Simon and Albert, Madame had no obligation to give them to the Earl. According to the algorithm of inheriting the Earl from Madame Mary, it would be considered as a great success to give a baron to him.

However, Marin, the Ukrainian population, was really envious. But he could not leave Ukraine to participate in the Eastern European hegemony. Simon, an older young man, happened to have nothing to do at home. So, he just happened to let Simon do those things for him. Moreover, Simon himself also likes to fight. If he is held in the country and does not allow him to lead troops, he may be suffocated. It is better to let him go to the Ukrainian grassland to wander.

And Albert's Philadelphia Earl, if he had changed to a grand duke, he might not be willing to let go. But who is Marin? He was eating alone and swallowing the dark hearts of America! It was nothing to give Albert a Philadelphia fief. Closed with the huge America, the land near Philadelphia is a drop in the bucket.

However, his behavior caused a sensation in Europe. Many princes with younger brothers expressed strong dissatisfaction with him - Damn, do you think we treat your brothers so well?

Marin himself did not expect that his actions brought many troubles to many European monarchs. Many of the monarchs' younger brothers talked about Marin and wanted to get more from their brothers. Then, Marin was hated by many monarchs with many younger brothers...

After Marin learned the news, he felt very wronged - I was also very desperate! I was just Caesar and I was still young. If I wanted to send someone to control Ukraine, I couldn’t buy a Count for my subordinates, right? So, I could only choose my younger brother Simon, who was not good at doing things...

Therefore, in order to eliminate the adverse effects, Marin had to ask Old Hoffman to take the blame-

"Dad, I was hated by many kings and princes. You have to help me with this..."

Old Hoffman was a little irritated:

"What? Why don't you give me a little better to my younger brother? Why?"

But Mrs. Mary was also a noble family after all, and she received this education when she was a child. She asked:

"Did you treat your younger brother well and make the monarchs of other countries feel embarrassed?"

Marin nodded, but his mother was still smart. As for the old man...ah...

Old Hoffman was a little confused and asked:

"What do you mean when you ask me to help? Can I still make those monarchs friendly to you? I don't have that ability..."

"You don't have to do anything else, just claim to the public that you forced me to sign my younger brothers as earls." Marin explained.

"What? When did I force you? I usually don't get involved in the affairs of Beihai Country, right? Besides, I'm a rude man, and I don't understand those government affairs..." Yes, this person is quite self-aware...

"It's not that you really forced me, but to help me share the pressure! Only by saying that you forced me to appoint my younger brothers as earls will the monarchs of other countries not blame me!"

As soon as Marin finished speaking, Old Hoffman's face turned dark:

"What do you mean? Let me take the blame? This is a matter of detrimental reputation! You know, I have taught you since I was a child - honor is my life! That way, it will damage my honor!"

Marling was speechless, but even though Mrs. Mary stood up, she kicked Old Hoffman and said angrily:

"Your pitiful honor is important, or Marin's North Sea Kingdom is important? If you are hated by European monarchs or even united, the North Sea Kingdom may perish. At that time, it depends on whether your Hoffman family still has honor..."

Well, when it comes to the honor of the Hoffman family, old Hoffman suddenly became depressed. Compared with the glory of the family, his personal honor is indeed nothing...

Then, the next day, the old Hoffman publicly claimed that he ordered his son to enthrone the two youngest sons as earls, because he wanted to revitalize the Hoffman family too much...

This statement is reasonable and well-founded, and it is also very consistent with the character of Old Hoffman. Then, the outside world's hostility towards Marin was greatly reduced.

At the same time, Marin announced that the purchase fee for the Ukrainian country of his younger brother Simon is 250,000 gold coins, which needs to be repaid. Of course, the repayment period is relatively long, 50 years. In this way, it is easy to say - Marin did not buy a count for his younger brother for free, but borrowed money for him. Is it wrong to lend money to his younger brother? Obviously there is nothing wrong with it! Now, others are not very good at this and accuse Marin of "breaking the rules"...

What rules did Marin break? That is the "first-child inheritance system" that has been popular in Europe for hundreds of years...

The European eldest son inheritance system was formed in the mid-Medieval period, probably after the three grandsons of Charlemagne divided the Charlemagne into Germany, the Middle Frank (including Lorraine in the north, Burgundy in the middle and northern Italy in the south) and France.

The European nobles at that time saw the disadvantage of their children's separation of heritage - the Charlemagne Empire, which was once extremely prosperous, was divided into three parts and lost its absolute hegemony.

Therefore, the dukes of the Holy Roman Empire formed in the German region to the east learned this lesson. After the Holy Roman Empire was formed, the system of inheritance of the eldest son was established. That is, the system of taking all the eldest sons, and other sons did not have them, or could only eat leftovers.

This system is very unfair to other sects other than the eldest son. Because it means that their future has lost protection. However, it can protect the strength of the family main branch to the greatest extent, so that the family strength will not be dispersed.

Later, European countries saw the benefits and adopted this system one after another.

The system of taking all the eldest sons has many benefits. First of all, he avoided the internal friction of brothers fighting for throne. In the ancient East, whenever emperors changed, it often caused bloody storms, causing great losses to the country's strength. The most serious one was probably the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty. It destroyed the Central Plains and lost too many strong men, which directly led to the emergence of the "Five Barbarians Invasion of China".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The system of taking all the eldest sons can fully avoid the situation of tragic sects, which is conducive to the stability of the country and dynasty. Therefore, European dynasties generally change in peace, such as extinction. The change of the Chinese dynasty at the same time was based on the chaos in the world, which was very harmful.

In addition, the system of taking all the eldest sons is also conducive to inspiring the children of aristocratic people to make progress. Why? Because except for the eldest son, other sons do not have the right to inherit. If you want to have a future, you must work hard! Therefore, many princes from Europe entered the army to serve, and exchanged their lives for military merits and titles, and many excellent royal children and noble children appeared. All of this was forced.

Of course, in addition to entering the army, there is another way for the nobles to enter the monastery to be monks. But after the religious war, no one left this road. Because the church's status declined, there was no power or wealth to be a bishop.

Then, most of the nobles' children had to choose to serve in the army. Then, they hoped to perform well in the war to obtain titles and fiefs.

This is also the reason why the children of European aristocrats are generally better than the children of ancient Chinese aristocrats. It is not that the children of European aristocrats have better blood, but that they are forced out - if they are not self-reliant, they will be finished...

On the contrary, because everyone had the opportunity to compete for inheritance, the nobles of ancient China focused most of their energy on family internal friction.

Or, there are many noble children who will always get a share of benefits in the future. Therefore, they are not stressed at all, eat, drink, have fun all day long, harm one side, and become playboys...

...

Therefore, the playboys in ancient China were all used to being spoiled by the future Wuyou. Without pressure, people have great resources in their hands, and they are easily addicted to it and become playboys.

Under two completely different systems, European aristocrats became famous generals, while Chinese aristocrats all produced playboys... There is no problem of anyone being better than anyone else, but one being forced to make progress; the other is that there is no need to make progress...

Malin suddenly remembered a few years before the time travel, there was a descendant of a man who was a maniac of Qing Dynasty. He said that China needed aristocratic and aristocratic spirit. Malin was too lazy to swear this Sabi. As for the inheritance system of China, most of the aristocratic children were dandy and useless. Why did China need such garbage? Let’s see what the Eight Banners children who were "hard-core crops" in the late Qing Dynasty looked like? Because the future was guaranteed, they had no motivation at all, and they could easily become playboys and scum. That Sabi Ge probably wanted not the aristocratic spirit, but the "hard-core crops" of the past...
