Text Chapter 231 Contact the Crown Prince of the Song Empire

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was obviously not possible to deprive Sara of her title. God knows whether this would cause dissatisfaction among the crown prince of the Song Empire.

    Nowadays, the ceramics, tea, and other products of the Song Empire are hot commodities for European countries.  If they make the crown prince dissatisfied and cancel their share, it will be a waste of money.

    The furs from Quebec are important, but compared to the products of the Song Empire, they are simply dregs.

    This is an easy conclusion to draw, and anyone who is not an idiot can calculate the gains and losses involved.

    A piece of beaver pelt is only worth four silver livres in France, and it is worth five livres silver coins, which will never be more.

    But the value of a set of ceramics is worth hundreds of gold louis.

    Nowadays, these exquisite ceramics are a hot commodity in the Mediterranean area.  You can earn several times the profit as soon as you change hands, and this is all visible.

    Not to mention those tea leaves and spices.

    ¡°Compared to transporting it back from the distant East for sale, it is obviously more cost-effective to transport it back from the Americas.

    And before heading to America, you can exchange cheap commodities for slaves in Africa and then sell them in America.

    ??The profits that come back and forth can be seen by anyone who is not crazy.

    Now that the French treasury is not very flush, it is time to cooperate well with the Song Empire in America and use its goods to make money.

    So, it is impossible for Queen Mother Mary and others to offend the Song Empire.

    "Now that Sarah has become the wife of the crown prince of the Song Empire, we have no way to change this. If all we can do is think about how we can get some benefits." Mary is worthy of being a member of the Habsburg family.  As a person, she considers more comprehensive issues than the idiot noble just now.

    Now Sarah has been married to Zhao Hongyu and obtained a legal identity.

    Now if you want to touch Sara, it is equivalent to touching the crown prince of the Song Empire.

    This is a provocation to the Song Empire.

    So it can be foreseen that the consequences of doing so will definitely cause a backlash from the Song Empire, and then the trade between France and the Song Empire will be affected.

    Nowadays, ceramics, tea and spices are all commodities with quotas.

    It can be said that the shares received by European countries are not very large, but everyone wants to expand some shares.

    After all, expanding share means being able to earn more profits.

    It¡¯s just that there aren¡¯t many of these goods produced, so the Song Empire can only control the export quantity.

    At the beginning, merchants from various European countries were still doing private trade with the Song Empire, but a few months ago European countries began to officially intervene.

    ¡°It is impossible for the government not to intervene in such a profitable business.

    Because every country needs a business that makes money to fill the national treasury to enhance its national strength.

    At this moment, the Thirty Years War has broken out.

    France is also involved, so France needs money.

    "Queen Mother, what do you mean?"

    The Duke of Orleans asked tentatively.

    All the nobles looked over and stretched their necks, waiting for her answer.

    They all want to know what the Queen Mother¡¯s plans are.

    "Sara has legal ownership of Quebec, and we cannot change this. I know this woman, and maybe she has already offered Quebec to the crown prince of the Song Empire as a means to please him."

    First, Queen Mary expressed a guess of her own.

    Her guess caused the nobles present to nod.

    Everyone agrees with her guess.  After all, in such a situation, Sara's desire to protect herself and please her should be considered reasonable.

    "Therefore, it would not be good for us to deprive her of her legitimacy at this time and take Quebec back." Queen Mary's gaze swept across the faces of the nobles one by one.

    The nobles remained silent. They were all thinking about the meaning behind this sentence and the possible issues involved.

    "It is certain that Sarah will encourage her man to send troops to Quebec. If it were me, I would definitely do it." Queen Mary, who favored human beings, expressed a possibility.

    "And what can we do?" She leaned back slightly to make herself more comfortable.  When talking to these nobles, she kept her body straight.??I feel a little sore in my back now.

    "Sending troops? It's obviously unrealistic. First of all, we are too far away from the Americas. And how many soldiers will be photographed? This is also a question, right?"

    Queen Mary spoke of the troubles she would encounter if she resorted to force.

    Everyone fell silent.

    I have to say, Queen Mary is right.

    If the solution is to be solved by force, then troops must be sent, but how many troops should be sent is a question.

    If you send too little, you won¡¯t be able to solve the problem; if you send too much, the treasury won¡¯t be able to support it.

    And it will offend the Song Empire. In the end, it is hard to say whether they can win this battle. On the contrary, they will not even be able to continue trade with the other party.

    "You have to think about it, the other party is in the Americas. It's not that troublesome for them to send troops. Compared with us, the other party has a huge advantage." The Queen Mother pointed out Zhao Hongyu's geographical advantage, "So, I am  I don¡¯t support using force to solve problems.¡±

    Seeing that everyone was silent, the Queen Mother's little vanity was satisfied.

    Then, she decided not to sell it anymore.

    "My idea is very simple. Now that the matter is over, let's not pay so much attention to it. Let's just accept the fact and give up Quebec to Sarah."

    The Queen Mother¡¯s words made everyone¡¯s eyes widen.

    The Duke of Orleans frowned: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, our losses will be too great if we do this. The land in Quebec is very large, and the fur income can also bring a lot of profits to the empire."

    His words spoke the sentiments of many people.

    To be honest, these nobles really can¡¯t bear to leave Quebec.

    They deliberately dealt with Sarah and let the men of the Samuel family die one by one. Why?  Isn¡¯t it just for the land of Quebec and those furs?

    It¡¯s better now, Sara has done this, leaving them defenseless.

    Everything you have done before has become a mirror in the end.

    But no one can swallow this breath now.

    It looked like I was about to gain something, but then I encountered this situation.

    "When people encounter this, there is no way around it.

    What a bunch of idiots, they only know how to benefit from this.  These people don't want to think about it. Is there any way they can change it?

    In her heart, she despised these nobles. Mary was quite helpless that the nobles under her command were so stupid.

    "Everyone, be quiet. In fact, if we get it right, we can actually get greater benefits." Mary saw everyone talking in confusion, so she spoke loudly to stop them.

    "Send someone to contact the crown prince of the Song Empire and tell him that we recognize that Quebec belongs to Sara, and we have no objection to that land being incorporated into the Song Empire. The only request is to have a share of porcelain, tea, and spices.  Come on, take care of us."

    This has been said very clearly.

    That is to use Quebec in exchange for a large share of goods.

    If you calculate it carefully, it seems to be very beneficial.

    The eyes of the nobles lit up, and some of them even swallowed their saliva.

    "This is a good idea. It has indeed changed from passive to active." The Duke of Orleans was the first to compliment.

    Yes, they can't change the facts now anyway.

    It is certain that Quebec belongs to the Song Empire.

    ¡°However, they can use this matter to make a fuss.  Perhaps the crown prince of the Song Empire really expanded their business share because they were so reasonable.

    ¡°Compared to those furs in Quebec, ceramics and spices are now the most profitable.

    Therefore, the nobles became excited again.

    "Let's all discuss it and see who can be sent to have contact with the other party. By the way, let's treat it as France and go to congratulate the crown prince. Of course, don't forget to meet Sarah and say good things to her to ease the relationship.  "

    Queen Mary reminded everyone.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely choose a suitable person."

    The Duke of Orleans bowed slightly and responded.

    "Those women who are still alive in the Samuel family have been taken to Danfeng Bailu, and they are also considered hostages. With these women in our hands, Sarah has to think about it even if she wants to say something bad."Okay.  "

    Mary didn¡¯t think that the people sent there could make up the relationship between everyone by saying a few nice words when they saw Sarah.

    So in order to be on the safer side, it is better to have some control in hand to ensure that Sarah will not do anything impulsive.

    For Sarah, Mary knows her best.

    Sarah is timid and cares about her relatives very much.

    Although these people are all widows of the Samuel family, she can be sure that Sara will never ignore them.

    "Her Majesty the Queen Mother is wise, we know what to do."

    A group of nobles responded one after another.

    "Then I'm leaving, and I'll leave the rest to you. I've said everything that needs to be said now. If you don't do it right again, I will definitely deprive you of your title."

    After saying that, Mary got up and opened the room.

    The Duke of Orleans stayed with other nobles and discussed who to send to America.

    Everyone knows that this person must have a good eloquence and be able to please people without being annoying.

    Therefore, as to who this candidate is, everyone has put forward several candidates.

    For the sake of everyone¡¯s future and gold coins, these nobles are now racking their brains.

    But at this time, news that Quebec had been surrounded by the Iroquois also came back from America.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
