- "Sarah, don't cry. Now you are part of our family. Those who have bullied you, we will definitely make them look good and avenge you. In the eyes of us Indians, there is only one option for such people. A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye will do.¡±
When Zhao Hongyu recounted to Emma what Sarah had just told him about his experiences as a girl, Emma, ??who had a strong sense of justice, immediately took Sarah's hand in anger and made a promise to her.
It¡¯s not surprising that Emma has such a reaction. First of all, Sarah is already Zhao Hongyu¡¯s wife, so as the eldest wife, Emma needs to vent her anger for Sarah, the ¡®little wife¡¯, in order to prove her ability as the eldest wife.
Both of them, Sarah had given Emma a lot of benefits at the beginning. Just the land allocated by Quebec was in Emma's name. You said it was the person who used money to eliminate disasters. This was like taking away protection. The same principle applies to fees.
In Indian families, you can often see the existence of the second wife of a family. When a man is bullied by outsiders, if the man is not at home, it is basically the eldest wife who brings a group of women to come forward.
So, Emma has now entered such a role.
In her opinion, Sarah is a family member who has given her "protection money" and is recognized by herself, so she must take revenge on those who have a grudge against Sarah.
Of course, the underlying reason is that she heard that a lot of Sarah's property was taken away by others, which made her very uncomfortable. Because little Emma felt that if she could get all these properties back, then Sarah would definitely benefit from it.
In this way, Emma made a promise to stand up for Sarah.
"Are the relatives who tried to seize your property still alive?"
Emma asked Sarah.
¡°Of course, when I left last year, I received letters from them asking me for money.¡± Sara nodded.
Emma looked at Zhao Hongyu with a very serious face.
"As a family, you have to do it as one thing. If you don't come forward, then I will do it." In fact, despite what the little guy said, in fact, she has been calculating in her heart how many benefits she can get.
I have to say that Emma is truly a money-lover.
"Don't worry, I know it well. But her relatives are in Spain now. We have just arrived in Portugal, haven't we?" Zhao Hongyu spread his hands and made a face.
"What kind of relatives are trying to seize your property? They can actually seize the title your father left to you." Zhao Hongyu also asked at this time.
Sarah replied: "My father's brother, as well as his son and daughter. They bribed the great nobles in Madrid, as if they promised some benefits, so they took away the property and noble titles that my father left me. "
Sarah is not very clear about this matter. After all, she has never returned to Spain since she was 'sold' to the Samuel family.
After listening to Sara¡¯s answer, Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while and knew what was going on.
"Hmph, you should call that man uncle. He is really smart. He used your father's property to make agreements with the great nobles, and used your father's money to do favors. Even if he paid the other party, he would still be rewarded. She can also reap a lot of benefits.¡±
This little trick can be understood with a little thought.
"Don't worry, I will make him spit it out, but I think the Spaniards are still in the illusion of glory in the past, so there is no rush." ??Zhao Hongyu also made a promise.
While a few people were chatting, the Sea King sailed into the offshore area and began to approach the dock.
Lisbon is located at the southern tip of the European continent. Ships entering and leaving the Mediterranean must anchor here to rest and replenish supplies.
Therefore, the Port of Lisbon is very lively and prosperous, not far behind the Port of Manhattan.
¡°Hey, I have never seen such a big ship in my life. Which country's ship is this? I've never seen that flag before.
In the sight of the busy people on the pier, a huge ship was slowly approaching.
This is an extremely huge battleship with densely packed gun muzzles.
At first glance, this battleship looks like a giant beast floating on the sea, looking extremely ferocious.
You don¡¯t have to fight it, just take a look at it and you will know it is not easy to mess with.
The huge and thick hull is even protected by iron plates.
It has a total of five poles, among which the largest and tallest one in the middle is held on a pole with a red flag hanging out.??Five-star flag.
? ? Spaniards? Dutch?
It doesn¡¯t look like the flag, because neither the Spanish nor the Dutch have flags like this.
And they have never seen such a flag.
Although it was the first time for Zhao Hongyu and the others to come to Europe, many of the ships docked at Lisbon Port had just arrived from Manhattan.
Therefore, some people still recognize what the battleship's flag represents.
"This is the battleship of the American Song Empire, and that is their national flag."
At this time, a sailor who walked out of the tavern and came to the dock after hearing the commotion outside said to a few curious guys around him.
??Coming from the American continent, a warship from the Song Empire?
¡°Obviously, it was the first time those guys heard about it.
If you are not a maritime merchant or a seafarer, you will still be unfamiliar with this name.
After all, it has only been half a year since the name Zhao Hongyu and the Song Empire spread to Europe.
¡°Then, the sailor showed an arrogant look and told a few guys around him who didn¡¯t understand what he had experienced in Manhattan.
Delicious food, warm clothes, exquisite clothing of Song Empire soldiers, and various commodities.
As he narrated, the people around him exclaimed "Wow, wow" from time to time.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know anything about what happened on the dock, and he had no interest in knowing.
¡°Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am going to inform Viscount Megan that we are really frightened that a distinguished guest like you can come to Portugal.¡±
After the battleship parked at the berth, the conductor immediately complimented Zhao Hongyu and then left to inform the administrator.
Because Zhao Hongyu and his party arrived suddenly without saying hello in advance.
So Lisbon¡¯s officials, big and small, were not prepared at all.
According to European rules, people like Zhao Hongyu are treated to very high standards.
No matter what, he is also the crown prince of an empire and the future heir to the empire.
What's more, the Song Empire's commodities were of great value, and whoever could control them would gain greater wealth. Although civilians didn't know this, the port officials and nobles knew it very well.
Now that the most noble people of the Song Empire have come to Lisbon, how can they not get close to each other well?
???????????????????? If he can gain the favor and trust of the crown prince, and his mouth tilts slightly to reveal a small share of the goods, then he will make a fortune.
Porcelain! tea! spices! food!
These are very popular and sought-after commodities. As long as they are shipped from America, they can be turned into golden gold coins.
"Shall we get off the boat?"
At this time, Sarah asked Zhao Hongyu, after all, the battleship has docked now, right?
But before leaving, the conductor asked them to wait on the ship for a while and let him notify the person in charge here to organize manpower to greet them.
So, now Sarah doesn¡¯t know whether they want to get off the boat now.
¡°And Sara also understood that as a little man, she really couldn¡¯t walk around so casually.
A noble must have the appearance and rules of a noble, not to mention that his man is not an ordinary noble, he is the prince of an empire.
"Your Highness, let's wait. Your current status is different. You must have the appearance of a crown prince, so that the Europeans will not look down upon us and think that we are barbarians. If you are too casual, I am worried that they will be very Dismissive." Wang Shan also reminded Zhao Hongyu. "These European nobles are all bastards. If you act casually, they won't take you seriously. If you are bigger than them, then they will kneel down and lick your boots."
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips and said to Wang Shan: "Isn't this a bitch?"
Wang Shan smiled when he heard this: "Yes, what you said is absolutely right. These European nobles are bitches. I estimate that all the nobles in Lisbon will come. Just don't give them smiles when the time comes. I guarantee that they will Everyone will kneel down and lick them."
As for kneeling and licking, it¡¯s all a joke.
"But Zhao Hongyu also knows what these nobles are.
So he nodded and said to Wang Shan: "Well, don't worry, I know how to do it."
It¡¯s not for nothing that you¡¯ve watched American blockbusters over the years, nobilityIt¡¯s not that I don¡¯t understand style.
So, this is not a problem for Zhao Hongyu¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Assemble the guards and head to the port immediately to greet the distinguished guests!"
After hearing the report, Viscount Megan, the chief executive of Lisbon, immediately jumped out of his mistress's bed.
His family also engaged in maritime trade and had two ships that went to Manhattan.
So, he has a very good understanding of things in America.
Regarding Zhao Hongyu, the crown prince of the Song Empire, merchant ships brought a lot of news.
But most of them are of little use.
These people in his family can't even see each other at all, and they are not even qualified to see Zhang Tie, the manager of the umbrella company.
But even so, it does not prevent them from smoothing out the aristocratic power structure of Manhattan.
And it is clear who is the person who ultimately controls the trade share.
Among the European merchant ships arriving at the Port of Manhattan every day, there are basically people who have ideas for Wang Shan or Zhang Tie, either to build relationships or bribe them.
Who knows that the output of goods in Manhattan is not high, only so much every month, so a quota system was introduced.
In the eyes of many people, Manhattan can only produce so much goods, so they can only use their brains to expand their share.
But the problem is, so many merchant ships are here for trade, why should they give you the right to purchase bulk goods?
"Here comes someone!"
With the help of the servant, Viscount Megan quickly dressed up.
"Your Majesty the Viscount." A servant came from behind him and asked respectfully.
Meghan was asking the servant to sort out the noose around her neck. He said: "Inform Baron Mandelson, Earl of Ceutache, and Viscount Ed, and say that Jialin Lisbon, the crown prince of the American Song Empire, may stay for a few days. They immediately took their families to Carroll Manor to wait for me.¡±
The nobles he mentioned are all those who have a good relationship with him and have shares in his family's maritime trade.
Therefore, they must be notified of such an important matter.
Because in this era of ocean trade, one person's power is really too small.
Therefore, the safest way is to unite some people to make money together.
In addition to sharing risks, there can also be some help to avoid some troubles.
"My dear, what is it that makes you in such a hurry? Aren't there some barbarians on the American continent? How can they make you care so much?"
Count Megan¡¯s mistress, a sexy woman who looked like she was in her early thirties, came out wearing a tutu and said coquettishly to him.
The two of them were enjoying themselves, but they were suddenly interrupted. Of course she was very unhappy.
This is a woman with a plump figure, which is quite in line with the aesthetics of this era.
She has brown chestnut hair and looks like a bohemian woman.
Wearing a black tutu, her upper body exposed most of her breasts, and under the support of the clothes, the two tender flesh on her chest suddenly looked very huge.
In the corner of her eyes, the amorous feelings just now have not dissipated, and are still vaguely visible at this moment.
As long as someone pays attention, they will find it.
But at this time, the servants didn't pay much attention to her. Anyway, this kind of thing seemed too normal to them.
Aren¡¯t aristocrats all like this?
"You don't understand. Don't say this nonsense. There are indigenous people in the Americas who are very barbaric, but there is also a huge empire there, which is not bad compared to us."
With a straight face, Megan explained to her, and at the same time, she specifically reminded her not to talk nonsense.
"Look at how nervous you are, are those people as powerful as you say?"
The woman approached Megan, pressed her two balls of tender flesh against Megan¡¯s back and said softly.
Gritting her teeth, Meghan said to the woman: "You stay here for a while, I won't take you to the dock. Don't wait for me tonight, I may not have time. These people are very important to me because they represent wealth , endless wealth.¡±
Megan clenched her hands, turned around and waved them in front of the woman.
He originally wanted to take this woman to the pier with him, but he could tell from the woman's words that she didn't take it seriously.
Therefore, in order to protectOne thing, it¡¯s better not to take this woman to the dock.
¡°What if this woman were to say something that made Zhao Hongyu angry? He really couldn¡¯t imagine the consequences.
And those nobles who had been notified began to get busy dressing up at home, and summoned their daughters to start telling them some things and things that needed to be paid attention to.
They certainly understand the meaning of why Meghan asked someone to notify them.
??????? To please Zhao Hongyu and get close to him.
It would be even more wonderful if he could make him take a fancy to his daughter.
Because in their eyes, Zhao Hongyu is a moving gold mine (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
