Chapter 79 Marriage Governance vs. People

Mircea stayed in Constanta for a week and saw all kinds of technology and institutions, which are not available in the central government.

"Peter has grown up and has a mind of his own."

Mircea admired Peter's achievements, which he wrote down as a blueprint for reform.Then take a boat to Iasi.Mrs. Maria is also looking at the collected information on the age-appropriate princesses from various countries.

"Princess Sophia of Morea, 12 years old, very beautiful."

Mrs. Maria listened to this material and felt that it would not be of much help to Wallachia and Peter.Let's move on to the next one.

"The Grand Duke of Moscow has a younger sister who is 10 years old."

"No, it's too far."

Mrs. Maria vetoed the second, and said the third.

"The third is from Georgia..."

After talking several times in a row, Mrs. Maria was not satisfied, either because she was too far away, or her strength was too weak.

The marriage of the heir cannot be sloppy, as it represents a possible ally.But after searching for a long time, there is no suitable one, so can I only look for it from China?

Grand Duke Mircea is also looking for a suitable daughter-in-law. Of course, Sophia of Morea is ranked first. In addition, there is Trabzon's, who is too old, more than 20 years older than Peter.

"Grand Duke, if domestic marriage is not considered, Princess Sophia is probably the only choice."

"Is there really no other choice?"

"No, unless the Grand Duke is willing to go to the west to find it."

Hearing this, Mircea said quickly. "No, I won't let them into my family. I'd rather have a heathen than them."

Obviously, Mircea will not learn from those in the Roman Empire and marry a Westerner.It will tarnish their faith.

As with Peter's marriage, there were no allies around Wallachia.To be precise, it is a country that does not intend to help itself in times of crisis, Poland, no; Hungary, no; Ottoman, forget it.

Fortunately, a large number of Ruthenians, Russians, and Serbs who believed in the Orthodox Church came here, and Peter attracted them with a preferential policy of tax exemption for three years and two and a half years.Mircea went a step further and extended the five-year discount to seven years, which is a very big concession.Such preferential treatment allowed a large number of people to flow into Moldova. In the first half year after the signing of the peace treaty, more than 2 people immigrated to Moldova.These people would become the basis of Wallachia's rule.

Preliminary results for Bulgaria's population were also released, at around 45.In other words, the current population of Wallachia has reached 122 million.

There are very few countries with a population of more than one million, but there is no upper limit. France has a population of more than ten million, so does Shinra, the United Kingdom has 300 million, Bohemia and Hungary have 200 million, and Ottoman has nearly 400 million. Compared with them, Wallach Ya is not enough to watch.

In order to increase the population, Mircea decreed that if slaves or serfs escaped to Wallachia, they would be free.And Peter bought some women from Kafa, and with the distribution of spoils, many people got married at one time.

The Principality of Diodoro also compromised and obtained all the land of the Principality for 200 gold coins.And there is a [-]-acre estate.

After getting here, Peter made the fortress of the Chamber of Commerce the capital of all the land and named it Aaron.At the same time, a land census was carried out, intending to match it with Genoa.

Peter divided the nobles who had newly conquered the land into three categories—the first category was those who fought against him to death; the second category was those who surrendered after defeat. It is voluntary surrender.

For the first category of nobles, Peter was very unkind.After the nobleman died in battle, all his manor and property were confiscated, and all his family members were fined as serfs.Mainly the nobles who surrendered to the Ottomans and the Sipahi nobles who surrendered to the Ottomans.

As for the second category of nobles, Peter gave them the right to choose - either leave, or sell the territory to him at a discount.Of course, the price will definitely not be too high; or, stay and entrust the territory to Peter, and Peter will pay them a similar income every year according to their current harvest.

The third category of nobles, those who surrender voluntarily, if they are talented, will retain their territories and enter the government to hold public office.Those who have no talent and a bad reputation are treated in the same way as the second category of nobles, entrusting their manors and sending them to the city to enjoy themselves.

Peter and Mircea also made a fortune by beating Osman this time. Peter alone won more than [-] ducats in spoils.Not only did I get back my money, but I also made a little money.

And Peter is also training yeomen, which is the foundation of the country.Wallachia grew up in such an atmosphere, and it will become stronger and stronger.

----split line----

The knights under Peter had been reorganized into heavy cavalry, and they began to learn Wallachian script.And some people were originally from Transylvania, so they are naturally close to Wallachia.

Some knights brought their families here, and in return Peter gave them lands and manors.Among these knights, there was a knight named Woick who was the first to serve Peter and took his family over.

Maybe some people don't know him, but they must know his son Janku.What, I haven't heard of it, then I must have heard the name of his conversion to Catholicism: Hunyadi Janos.

Only ask about talents and not about background, this is the purpose of Peter's establishment of the think tank.And this is also in line with the recruitment standards of Eastern Rome. As long as you believe in the Orthodox Church, you can get money and status.

As for the attack on heretics and criminals, Peter also made a ruthless move.Not only was corvée imposed, but there were other punishments as well.Peter abolished harsh punishments in favor of cutting. (In Eastern terms, it is cut in half)
As soon as the punishment came out, they were really honest.And split from the center, how much shock to them.It's a great deterrent to them.

Of course, this is still rarely used.Mainly corvée, they bear most of the construction and part of the farming.This paid a lot for the construction of Bulgaria, but their belief and defiant performance doomed them to wear chains for a lifetime.
