The Eagle of Eastern Europe

The number of immigrants is also increasing. Germans, Poles, Ruthenians, Bohemians, Italians, Anatolian residents, etc. all immigrate to Wallachia.

The more immigrants there are, the more cultures there are. Wallachia vigorously improved the status of teachers and encouraged churches to preach. Since they came here, it meant that they had been completely severed from their hometown, so it became necessary to follow the Romans.

Conversion and learning a new language are what every new immigrant has to do. Otherwise, you will not be able to live in this land, especially the Crescent Church and the Catholic Church. The Orthodox Church suppresses these two very severely.

It is good to hold a Bible in one hand and an iron sword in the other, armed to preach.

It can be said that the Orthodox Church survives in a crack, with Catholicism in the west and Crescent Christianity in the east. The Orthodox Church is only in the Balkans and Rus. Now it is difficult to get up, why not purify it.

Missionaries are the busiest people in Wallachia. In addition to preaching, they also have other professions such as teachers and doctors. It is really tiring to be in this place.

And Peter, he was very busy with both the army and internal affairs. But who made him the co-ruler of Wallachia? No, he also submitted a reform bill on the Boyar Conference to the Grand Duke.

Specifically, the parliament withdraws from the daily management sequence and only meets once a year. During the off-farming season, that is, in winter, meetings were held for a month in Bukul Yesti, where important issues such as legislation and taxation, as well as the evaluation of officials, were resolved together. After the meeting, the MPs will go wherever they want, and for the remaining 11 months, daily affairs will also be handled by official agencies.

Of course, councilors, including local councilors, also have the responsibility to supervise local officials. If someone imposes excessive taxes or commits illegal acts in the local area, councilors are qualified to report the situation directly to the supervisory department and request an investigation.

"Parliament is held once a year?" Prime Minister Angel found it incredible after hearing this suggestion. Because this is tantamount to depriving the nobles of most of their rights. You only get one chance to speak once a year, how do you show your authority?

If it were any other country that had weakened the power of the parliament in this way, it might have been revolted long ago. Moreover, it was a collective rebellion of the nobles.

However, the old nobles of Wallachia were almost killed by two rebellions. The newly promoted nobles supported the Grand Duke, which resulted in no one opposing the Grand Duke's decision.

In fact, according to the Wallachian Code, the monarch had no right to dissolve the Parliament at will. However, members can be disqualified on the charge of "anti-royalty". This seems to restrict the Grand Duke, but in fact, because the opposition can be expelled, it does not matter whether the Parliament is dissolved or not. If he is opposed by all the MPs, then the Grand Duke has failed too much and is not far from being finished...

Moreover, Mircea basically said the same thing now, and the parliament did not dare to oppose him. After all, the old aristocratic class was defeated by him, and the new aristocratic class is still growing. But the reforms he and Peter made were not for themselves, but for Peter's successors. They do not have the absolute authority of Mircea or Peter, and the new aristocracy will also become stronger by then. So, this is paving the way for future generations.

In industry and commerce, Peter carried out some reforms in the apprenticeship system. In the age of mechanization, workers are well trained. As long as you operate the machine strictly according to the requirements, you will be able to produce products proficiently in a few months. Some with low technical content can learn to use machines in a few days.

But in the era of handicraft industry, it was difficult for craftsmen to learn the craftsmanship in a short time. Therefore, in this era, the 7-year apprenticeship system was generally popular in European handicraft industries. However, in the first three years of being an apprentice, you are basically learning about various rules and basic common sense in the industry, and it is difficult to get started. Moreover, various labor services need to be provided to the master free of charge. Three years later, there was a chance to start. Then, in the last two years, I will be able to complete the work independently.

Such a long time is not without its benefits. Because this can indeed cultivate technically qualified craftsmen. Long-term training is conducive to the full improvement of technology. Even in modern times, manufacturing powers such as Germany have revived the apprenticeship system. However, there have been changes. It is no longer a one-to-one training system between masters and apprentices, but a joint training system between schools and enterprises. Specifically, the school teaches basic theoretical knowledge, and the factory will arrange for old craftsmen to guide apprentices in practice...

Peter set up a technical school in Skopje and hired craftsmen to teach. As for students, it was very easy to recruit. There were many children from farmers and urban civilians, and there was no charge for admission. After graduation, apprentices would use their own wages to pay for tuition and fees. Honor the master.

The reform of the apprenticeship system will be piloted, and the salary of foreign craftsmen will be improved following the example of Qianjin City Horse Bone Story. In addition to wages, there is also a year-end bonus and competition system. Statistics will be conducted at the end of the year, and whoever is the most active will receive additional bonuses.

The craftsmen from Italy and Bohemia were very grateful to Peter and worked very hard for it. In order to better control them, Peter re-established the local craft guild.

Generally speaking, when handicraft guilds set prices for their products, they will reserve profit margins so that practitioners in the industry can afford to pay taxes. The king asked the handicraft guilds to collect taxes on his behalf, which saved a lot of trouble. Because, in this era, the king does not have so many professional tax talents. Let the handicraft guild cover the taxes, which saves trouble and labor costs.

However, if handicraft guilds are in the hands of evil people with evil intentions, they can also become a disaster. Moreover, apart from collecting taxes, handicraft guilds are almost free from official control and are somewhat like independent social organizations. The most important thing is that if the leaders of the handicraft guilds incite, workers in this industry may rise up in rebellion... This is a huge safety hazard...

Peter established a copycat union, with leaders appointed by him to mediate between the craftsmen and the government. A good union is a union that does not have any power other than this. And regardless of industry, all industries can join.

Under Peter's policies, handicrafts developed. Especially in the textile industry, the products of the woolen textile industry are sold well abroad. The development of animal husbandry provides raw materials, and the improvement of the road system promotes transactions. In each city, the textile industry is an important part of its economic system.

Moreover, Wallachian textiles mainly follow the mid- to low-end route, with quantity winning over quality. Farmers and citizens are the main consumer groups, and Wallachian products meet their needs.
