In fact, it is not only the animal husbandry industry that Marin has to change the route of "number priority". Even the population, Marin plans to follow the policy of "number priority".

In the past, Marin paid great attention to Germanization and hoped that the nation would be pure and single. Even if it annexed England, it was mainly Germanic.

However, this makes the population growth rate too slow. It took more than ten years for Malin to introduce population to Beihai Country, but it only made Beihai Country's population exceed 2 million.

Perhaps, this is indeed at the forefront of the German region, which has a total population of only 12 million. However, Marin knew that this population is not enough to develop the local area, let alone develop the huge Americas. Not to mention 2 million people, even 20 million people, it would not make any waves even if it was thrown into the American continent. In the later years, the population of the United States was more than 300 million, but the land still seemed very empty. Why? The land is good!

Although the land area of ​​the United States is smaller than that of China, the land area that people can use is larger! The large plains and countless rivers in the central and eastern regions are very suitable for agriculture. Only the western Rocky Mountains are difficult to develop and utilize due to terrain. Moreover, there are very few deserts in the United States, only the southwest is close to Mexico, and there are a small number of deserts.

What about China? Only the eastern coastal areas are suitable for development. As for the vast western region... the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau accounts for more than a quarter. Then, the large area of ​​the northwest is deserts and Gobi Deserts... Although the area is larger than that of the United States, the arable land is much less than that of the United States, and is not as good as India. Moreover, the Americans disdain to reclaim those barren lands and only cultivate on fertile land. In China, many arable lands are obviously barren areas, but they have forcibly reclaimed into farmland...

So, let alone the entire America, even in the later American places, Marin could not be reclaimed. Even the colonies of the Thirteen State on the East Coast that Britain reclaimed back then, Marin was not enough to be reclaimed. You should know that when the United States was independent, the total population of the Thirteen State was 3 million!

In this way, Beihai Kingdom still has a long way to go when it comes to population growth. How to quickly break the deadlock? Increase women!

Whether it is increasing livestock or population growth, the key to breaking the situation is women. If there are too many women, there will be more children. If there are too many women, it will be useless no matter how many men are, because men will not get pregnant or have children...

Therefore, the best way is to introduce women from abroad. For example, Maomei and other... This is easy to get. As long as you give enough rye Erguotou, the Crimeans will definitely be willing to help grab Maomei from the Maozi.

And, Indian women...

There were not many Indians in the jungle of North America, and they were not easy to mess with. Because they were good at hiding in the jungle. But the population of the Aztec Empire in Mexico was more than 10 million. As long as one or two million women were stolen from Mexico and gave birth to children with men in the North Sea, they could quickly grow the population...

However, it seems that the Aztecs in Mexico are particularly afraid of infectious diseases such as smallpox in the Old World. Therefore, before captive of Aztec women, Marin must prepare enough cattle. Then, deliberately let the cattle infected with smallpox, make cowpox, and plant them for Indian women. Otherwise, once those women are infected with smallpox, the mortality rate is very high...

Therefore, cowpox and other things must be studied secretly. However, they cannot be released at once. After all, Marin was still thinking about using smallpox to fight a biological war. For example, sending people to spread smallpox in Paris...

Or, next time the imperial meeting was held, the smallpox was spread directly among the princes and all the princes were destroyed?

This idea was too crazy, but Marin still held back. Because, if the princes in the Imperial Parliament were really destroyed, the real benefit was not Marin, but France. Because Marin does not have the ability to annex Germany at once. As long as France is willing to mobilize fully, it can swallow a lot of German territory. Even Poland can come to Germany to bite a large piece of meat. Marin will at most annex North Germany. Then, other regions will be cheaper to strong enemies such as France and Poland. Even the south may be cheaper to Turkey... At that time, the situation will be very bad...

In order not to make wedding dresses for others, Marin could only suppress this crazy idea. However, before attacking the Aztec Empire and capturing Aztec women, the problem of cowpox must be solved. Not only should the technical problems be solved, but the quantitative problems must also be solved. After all, every Aztec woman must grow cowpox, otherwise she will easily get infected with smallpox and die of illness...

...

Marin was thinking about it in his office and made various plans for the future. At the same time, the Duke of Ulrich and his nobles in the Duke of Württemberg in southern Germany were almost fighting for the inheritance left by the dead nobles...

In the past few months, under the guidance of the Knights Chapman, who had served as an intelligence officer for Ulrich, the "Poor Conrad" peasant uprising army has broken through more than 500 manors of all sizes in the territory of the Duchy of Württemberg. Among them, there are more than 200 manors alone, with a total of more than 100 (some nobles have more than one manor).

Moreover, under the instigation of Wolf, Chapman and others, the "Poor Conrad" rebel army led by Casbar adopted the terrifying means of "killing all" against the nobles and their families.

This led to the fact that hundreds of nobles in the Principality of Württemberg suddenly had no successors and no living people...

Then, the more than 200 noble manors left behind after they were killed became popular, attracting crazy competition among the living nobles!

Not only did the premeditated Duke Ulrich take the lead in taking action, but other nobles were not willing to fall behind. After all, this was a rare opportunity to expand their strength.

Of course, Duke Ulrich's position is different from those nobles. Duke Ulrich's position is--because all the noble families have all had their successors, then, why not take back their titles and fiefdoms...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The so-called "take back" is naturally owned by Duke Ulrich...

Now the nobles of the Principal of Württemberg quit - you have swallowed the benefits alone, so we drink the northwest wind? Therefore, the living nobles of the Principal of Württemberg also joined the ranks of competition.

What name do these nobles use? Blood relatives!

European nobles like to marry each other. Moreover, aristocratic families of the same status frequently marry. Many victimized small and medium-sized aristocratic families have marriages with many families of the same status within the Duchy of Wutemberg. Some victimized aristocratic families even have marriages with aristocratic families outside the Duchy of Wutemberg.

According to the rules, if a family leaves behind, it should inherit the title and fiefdom from a side branch or a noble family that is married...

The general rule is that if the Juesi family has a daughter who is married, the daughter's son can inherit the title and fief of the grandfather's family (Salic inheritance law). If there is no daughter, then the brothers will inherit according to the ranking. If the brother dies, the children of the oldest brothers' family will inherit...

Of course, in some countries, Salik's inheritance law is stricter, and the succession of brothers and nephews will be based on daughters and sons-in-law. For example, after King Charles IV of the French Kingdom, after King Charles IV of the death of King Charles IV, the nephew of King Edward III should succeed the throne. However, the French chose Charles IV's cousin Philip VI to inherit the throne, which triggered the "Hundred Years of War in Britain and France."

Therefore, there seem to be rules in inheritance, but in fact you can also make tricks. The main thing is to make different choices about whether grandchildren are preferred or nephews are preferred.

But this time the Duke of Ulrich was to annex the property of the dead nobles, so he did not want the relatives of those nobles to inherit the inheritance.

For this reason, he announced that the foreign in-laws of the victims cannot inherit the titles and property of the victims. As for domestic relatives... the branches of the family have been separated, they are not allowed to inherit the titles and property. Only brothers and nephews who have not separated are allowed to inherit...

But the problem is that if they are not separated and stay in the noble manor, they will most likely be killed. Even if Casbar does not kill them, Wolf and Chapman will secretly kill them, so as not to leave any disasters...

Therefore, Duke Ulrich did this in fact, it was clear that he wanted to annex the manors of the dead nobles and take back the titles...
