Chapter 155: Real money vs. short promises

After a few days of getting in touch, Marin found that his cheap uncle Yule, although not an exquisite person, had worked for a long time for clerks, including some hard work in government affairs, making Yule organize and coordinate. Have a solid ability.
For example, in Mermel, the task of inviting and convening the local Teutonic Knights was left to Ulle. After all, Prince Philip and Marin were outsiders, and they went to the Teutonic Knights with doubt and precaution.
However, it was different for Yule's coming out. Yule had been a clerk in Momel for more than ten years and had dealt with all kinds of people. For the local Teutonic Knights' preferences and habits, that is quite well understood. Even if you do n’t know much, you can go to the archives to check the archives, and you will know the Teutonic Knight's daily preferences.
Moreover, as an old employee, Jule's organizational coordination ability is good. And like Marin, most are mouth gun emperors. Let him direct people to be okay. Commanding and directing this may seem like a cow fork, but in fact, Marin has little practical experience in organization and management. When it comes to specific problems, it depends on European talents in this era. With the help of veteran clerks like Jule, Marin and Prince Philip were a lot easier.
After coordinating with Le, Prince Philip and Marin soon invited all the Teutonic knights of Memmel to invite them to eat and drink, while throwing out real gold and silver.
After the trouble at home was solved by the nephew of Marin, a big stone in Yu Le's heart also fell to the ground. As a result, he was quite capable, and gradually recovered his energy and became an important assistant to Prince Philip.
Uh ...
At the same time, Prince Frederick of Saxony also started the canvassing process. Learning from Prince Philip, Prince Frederick also began to feast, inviting those Teutonic knights. Of course, he invited the Teutonic Knights of the Saxony first, and then the Teutonic Knights of the Franconia-Swabian League. Then, he began to invite the Teutonic knights of neutral factions.
However, Prince Frederick does not have those chefs who can cook Chinese food under Marin. Therefore, Prince Friedrich can only display barbecue and cook meat, and then fill the table with spices, so that the knights can eat with barbecue, bread, etc ...
As a result, at each table prince, Frederick spends a lot more than Marin, what a delicious taste ...
The Teutonic Cavaliers of the Saxony and Franconia-Swabian League didn't feel much because they had never been to a banquet hosted by Marin. But those neutral knights have eaten banquets hosted by Marin. Compared with the banquet at Marin, what a did Prince Frederick have? It's the difference between food and pig food ...
Moreover, at the banquet, although Prince Frederick of Saxony also appealed to those neutral knights, he was full of promises and did not give substantial benefits.
In fact, the benefits promised by Prince Frederick are also great. After all, the Wetting family controls the Saxon business district and is very strong, and the Teutonic Knights are also keen to do business. If these promises are fulfilled, the benefits will definitely be greater than the gold coins given by Marince.
However, in this era, empty checks are most popular among nobles, and they are blown up by the bulls. They may not be cashed in the end. Therefore, those neutral Teutonic knights, although somewhat tempted, were not impressed by Prince Frederick.
In the final analysis, Prince Frederick was only the youngest son of the Duke of Saxony, not the Duke of Saxony himself, not even the Saxony electorate. The neutral Teutonic Knights were very skeptical whether Prince Frederick could deliver on those promises.
Alas, these knights don't study hard, and most people have no vision. Therefore, the real gold coins Marin gave were more than impressing them.
So, despite the tempting benefits promised by Prince Frederick, most of the neutral knights don't buy much. However, the prince came to entertain them, and they should still eat and drink.
王子 When Prince Philip learned that Prince Frederick had begun to learn from his big banquet and attracted the neutral knights, he was very anxious. Marin was also a little nervous, but when he sent someone to spend money to explore the inside, he was relieved when he learned that Prince Frederick was only writing a blank check in addition to the banquet ...
In practice, Prince Frederick came to the election this time, only bringing more than 10,000 gold coins, only Marin took more than a tenth of the money.
This gold coin is only enough for a large banquet. Because the prince runs a traditional spice banquet. It takes a lot of pepper, clove, cinnamon, etc., which costs a lot, but not necessarily delicious.
So after the banquet, Prince Frederick couldn't afford the extra money to buy those neutral knights. Moreover, in the Teutonic Order, it is a good way to hold a banquet to entertain these knights. After all, few local tyrants are as rich as Marin and willing to throw money.
Often, after a banquet, Prince Frederick will spend hundreds of gold coins. And Marin spices are relatively small, only a few dozen gold coins.
Well, Marin also saved the money that was less than that of Prince Frederick, put it in a small bag, turned it into gold, and sent it to the neutral knight's pockets.
In addition, after hosting banquets in all four major cities, Marin saved the five chefs he brought with him, one each in Memmer, Erbin, and Thorn, and rented large houses. Banquet the local Westphalian-Rhineland League and the neutral Teutonic Knights. Banquets are held every few days to make these people delicious.
As for the capital, Konigsberg, Prince Philip and Marin, with two of the best chefs, are also the drawable Teutonic knights who often entertained Konigsberg.
条 These Teutonic knights seemed addicted to Prince Philip's side. Some eloquent knights also came here to sip their meals in the name of a visit, and Prince Philip extended a warm welcome.
In order to meet the needs of these knights, Marin also paid for buying a batch of serfs in the Teutonic Order, and selected a few culinary and German-speaking (Prussians have Germans and Slavs. But The Teutonic Knights ’German is a national language and has ruled the local community for hundreds of years. Therefore, many local people speak German.) Serfs, following the chefs brought by Marin, will learn to meet future needs.
After a lot of entertainment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Marin smashed at least 200 gold coins for those knights who needed to be neutral. For the knights of the original Westphalian-Swabian League, each person also gave at least 100 gold coins, which can be described as real gold and silver.
For Prince Frederick, it cost a lot of money to host the banquet. But besides that, a bunch of short promises were made and a bunch of short checks were written.
But in these "big bosses" knights who don't have a long-term vision, these short checks are not as impressive as the actual gold coins.
Moreover, Prince Philip is not unable to write a short check. At the suggestion of Marin, he also made a lot of promises ...
On one side, there are only short checks, and on the other side are real money and silver plus some short checks. As long as the math is not particularly bad, I know how to choose ...
Moreover, the banquet of Prince Philip was held every few days to let those Teutonic knights eat and drink for free. And Prince Frederick's banquet was not only unpalatable, but also costly. The prince could not do it every few days like Marin did. Therefore, from the banquet, both in quality and quantity, Prince Philip steadily overwhelmed Prince Frederick ...
The balance of the election gradually tilted towards Prince Philip. However, there are too many Teutonic knights in the Franconia-Swabian League and Saxony. If it is a hard fight, Prince Frederick may not be in a disadvantage, and the two sides seem to be somewhat evenly matched. Moreover, those neutral knights may not all choose to support Prince Philip.
