Text Chapter 284 I¡¯m so tired (Third update!)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hongyu's suggestion made their conversation lively.

    These poor nobles are very interested in making money.

    And Zhao Hongyu¡¯s proposal is very feasible. Whether it is rationality or other aspects, it can be said that there is no fault in the past.

    Yes, after being caught and tried, those people will become criminals and prisoners.

    If they are free people, they still have some rights.

    But criminalswhat other rights do they have?

    ¡° Sending criminals to the Americas can also solve part of the financial problem, improve public security, and make a fortune at the same time. This kind of deal is simply a bargain.

    Even an idiot can figure it out.

    ¡°Then Your Highness, I wonder how many people you need?¡±

    After everything is explained clearly, it will be superfluous to talk about other things.

    Finally, Megan, as the representative of these people, contacted Zhao Hongyu.

    Meghan and other nobles control all matters in Lisbon. With their help, this plan can be implemented smoothly.

    At the same time, behind these people are also related to the great nobles of Madrid.

    Zhao Hongyu also wants to use them to get involved with the nobles in Madrid.

    "It depends on how many criminals there are and how many you can catch and sentence. My requirements are not high. Those caught by you must be tried in public, and their crimes must be determined and given sentences. This way I can manage them more conveniently."

    As for how many people he needs, of course the more the better, but Zhao Hongyu cannot answer that.

    His current answer is a bit cunning, which leaves more room for imagination.

    What do you mean by how many criminals there are?

    What do you mean by how much you can catch?

    There are 20,000 to 30,000 homeless people in Lisbon alone.

    There are no statistics on surrounding cities or rural areas. If calculated, it is estimated that the number will be much larger.

    As for the length of the sentence, isn¡¯t it easy?

    ¡°Meghan, one of them is a criminal judge, and the prison term is nothing to him.

    A thief was originally sentenced to one year in prison. It is very simple for him to be sentenced to three years in prison.

    And it is not impossible to extend the sentence by adding some crimes through other means.

    Haha, everything is so easy and simple.

    "I hope to get a reply from Madrid in a short time. The prices I offer here are divided into three levels." Zhao Hongyu said to Megan.  "I will pay twenty silver pesos for a prisoner's sentence of ten years, seventy silver pesos for a thirty-year prisoner, and one hundred and fifty silver pesos for a life sentence. Women and children will pay half the penalty."

    After speaking, Zhao Hongyu looked at Megan with a smile.

    "You see, it's like I'm renting these prisoners, isn't it? After they complete the term, I will send them back. In the meantime, you have improved security, saved the cost of the prison, and also  It can increase funds to cope with the war."

    I have to say that the conditions offered by Zhao Hongyu are really good.

    Twenty silver pesos can be enough for a family of five to live for a year in Lisbon.

    ?? And now Spain happens to have no money in the national treasury and is in need of money.

    And they also owe a lot of debt outside.

    Although there are colonies in Central America supporting them, ships transporting gold and silver there have always been attacked by pirates recently, causing them great losses.

    Therefore, what the Spaniards hope most now is to find new sources of wealth.

    The extravagance of the royal family and the drunkenness of the nobles are also the main reasons for Spain's lack of money.

    Now that Zhao Hongyu has proposed such a solution to the problem, Spain will probably not refuse it.

    ¡°They will never find anything like this again in Europe.

    "Your Highness, your suggestion is not a big problem. I can give you an answer in five days. It only takes five days."

    Megan promised Zhao Hongyu a deadline.

    Then Meghan lowered her voice and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, what about the sugar business?"

    Zhao Hongyu said with a "haha" smile: "Don't worry, these are two transactions. We have to treat the contract slave business and the sugar separately. The sugar is the agreement between you and me, isn't it? Don't worry."

    Megan breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

    But now heHe hasn't signed a contract with Zhao Hongyu yet, so he can only breathe a sigh of relief temporarily rather than relax.

    He knows that if there is no firm contract for one day, everything will be full of variables.

    In this world, anything can happen, right?

    It seems that I can only implement some things as soon as possible and sign the agency contract for sugar trading.

    "Come, come, come, don't just chat, let's have something to eat." Zhao Hongyu greeted everyone and walked to the table full of food.

    After seeing the men finish chatting, the women and children also gathered around.

    "Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you to you. This is my wife and this is my son."

    Taking advantage of this gap, the nobles began to introduce their families to Zhao Hongyu.

    At the beginning, they were not very familiar with Zhao Hongyu, so it was not a good idea to introduce him rashly.

    After a period of contact, we can now be said to be familiar with each other.

    So, it¡¯s time to introduce your family.

    ¡°These people¡¯s wives are fat or thin, tall or short, beautiful or ugly, in short they are all very strange.

    It can be seen that the wives of nobles in American blockbusters are very beautiful, which is completely nonsense.

    Because when nobles look for wives, they either find a rich man or a well-matched wife.

    ¡°It is a fact that there are often many strange things among nobles.

    Therefore, you cannot expect how beautiful the wives of these nobles will be.

    This is one of the reasons why many nobles look for mistresses outside.

    Zhao Hongyu felt that it was very hard for him to resist the urge to feel sick and still have a fake smile on his face.

    But there are still things to do for the sake of face.

    And most of their sons and daughters are also weird.

    The aristocratic boy who is a sissy and still wears blush, or the aristocratic daughter who is as thin as a bamboo pole but thinks she is a great beauty and has big buck teeth.

    ¡°Mom, this is simply a weird party.

    Zhao Hongyu has been completely disappointed with the nobles.

    Fortunately, Sara is not such a weirdo, otherwise Zhao Hongyu really doesn¡¯t know what to do.

    "Your Highness, this scar on your face must have a story, right?"

    After being introduced by the family, the children they brought began to chat with Zhao Hongyu.

    I have to say, these little guys are very familiar with each other.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because my parents explained it before coming here, so they were very enthusiastic about Zhao Hongyu.

    "Oh, this is my medal for becoming a man. When I was very young, my father sent me to the battlefield to fight the enemy, so I left this scar."

    Zhao Hongyu lies right out of his mouth without thinking at all.

    His words made the children and the women around them take a deep breath and look surprised and frightened.

    It seems that what Zhao Hongyu is talking about is not his own business, but theirs.

    "Your enemy must be terrible, and you must have suffered a lot at that time."

    A little girl with average appearance and not that weird asked.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded: "In our country, even princes have to bear responsibilities. War is not a matter for civilians. It is definitely hard work, but I like the life of the army, because there is brotherhood in addition to iron blood.  "

    ¡° Try to think about future military TV series, Zhao Hongyu cultivated his feelings and said to them.

    "As for this scar, it was left because I fought seven enemies alone."

    ¡° Bragging and not drafting refers to people like Zhao Hongyu.

    This is not what one person left behind after beating up seven people.

    But he was right. The scar on his face was indeed left in battle, but at that time he was fighting an Indian.

    Rather than the seven people he said.

    But no matter what, no one will delve into this matter.

    As long as someone believes it, it¡¯s okay.

    ¡°Tell us about your experience, Your Highness.¡±

    These young men, women and children were immediately fascinated by what Zhao Hongyu said.

    This is simply a model of nobility.

    He has fought with the enemy and experienced the test of blood and fire.

    What is a knight? This is what a knight is.

      You must know that chivalry is still popular in Europe.

    Therefore, the things Zhao Hongyu said are very attractive to these guys.

    Boys are attracted by battle and brotherhood, while girls are attracted by the tenderness in the flames of war.

    Zhao Hongyu, with his eloquent tongue and mouth like a river, captured them in less than half an hour.

    Are you listening to Shan Tianfang¡¯s comments in vain?

    Even if you have never heard of storytelling, you must have heard of Guo Degang¡¯s cross talk.

    Seeing that the little guys were having a good chat with Zhao Hongyu, Meghan, the others and the women were very happy.

    It would be great if we could become friends with His Highness from America, or have some other relationship.

    "It's a pity that this is the first time we meet, so it's too early to consider this issue.

    Adults and children have completely different ideas.

    "After three years of military service, I retired and said goodbye to my military career. However, I need to admit that life in the army has greatly improved and changed my ideological realm."

    "Your Highness, is there a time limit for serving as a soldier in the Song Empire?"  At this time a little boy asked.

    "Yes, in our country, adult men must serve in the military for three years when they reach the age of 18. Because I am the crown prince, I cannot be like ordinary people. I have to serve in the military in advance."

    Zhao Hongyu made it up and at the same time filled in the loopholes left by his own bragging.

    "Your Highness, the music at today's banquet is very nice. Is it often possible to hear such beautiful music in your hometown?"

    "Your Highness, this snack is so delicious. I will never forget it after trying it. If possible, I really want to live somewhere in the Americas so that I can taste this delicious snack every day.  ¡±

    "Your Highness, your ship is so big. I can't imagine that a ship can be built so big."

    "Your Highness, the uniforms of your Imperial Guards are so beautiful."

    The little guys¡¯ questions and conversations came one after another, and Zhao Hongyu really had a headache.

    "Little guys, the dancing will start in a moment. Please give His Highness some time."

    ¡°Thanks to Megan for coming to rescue Zhao Hongyu, otherwise Zhao Hongyu would not know how long he (she) would have been annoyed by them.

    Dance?

    Zhao Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that nobles in this era had to dance at their gatherings.

    ¡°But the dance of this era is different from that of later generations. There is no rumba, tango, etc. It¡¯s all a group of people dancing together.

    If it¡¯s tango or something, Zhao Hongyu can still show off his skills, but in this era of dance he can¡¯t.

    "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm ready for everything." Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was a little embarrassed, Wang Shan came over and whispered to him at this time.

    "What are you going to do? I can't dance the dance of this era."

    Wang Shan winked at Zhao Hongyu and said with a smile: "I found a few musicians from Lisbon. They can play the dance music of this era, which can fully meet the needs of Megan and the others. When it comes to you, you can let the Genes perform.  "

    Hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhao Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief.

    When he was in Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu would dance with Emma and Sara when he was bored. Anyway, he had nothing to do.

    Therefore, both Sara and Emma have learned a lot of tango essentials, which come in handy at this time.

    Otherwise, we can¡¯t let Zhao Hongyu dance alone.

    Speaking of dancing, Emma and Sara have different preferences for modern dance.

    Because of her personality, Sarah prefers gentle face-to-face dancing, so she and Zhao Hongyu hugged each other slowly and slowly became tired of each other.

    But Emma is different. She likes to dance tango with Zhao Hongyu, and also likes to tap dance alone.

    Maybe this has a lot to do with her out-of-touch personality.

    But no matter what, under the influence of Zhao Hongyu, Sarah and Emma can cooperate with Zhao Hongyu when dancing, which saves them a trouble.

    As for Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhang Tie, Zhao Hongyu didn't want to think about it.

    They actually let the gene people use violins, guitars and drummers to play the oldest high-tech songs This really makes Zhao Hongyu unable to complain.

    And they were shameless to call Mai, what kind of shit is the most hilarious music in 1621.

    Of course, this is their freedom and they have the right to play such nonsense.

    But don¡¯t let it happen?Hongyu just participates.

    These guys bought drugs from the Mohicans and became ancient drug addicts.

    According to Wang Shan, they are nobles. In modern times, they would be the fathers of the rich second generation, so they want to experience this kind of life.

    The music sounded and Zhao Hongyu retracted his thoughts.

    The nobles signaled to their wives, and then he and she walked to the deck and danced to the sound of music.

    The young people also gathered around and beat the music.

    Zhao Hongyu sat on the sofa and rested.

    I¡¯m really tired.

    ¡°How about it, it¡¯s not easy to deal with nobles.¡±

    Sarah and Emma came over at this time. They looked at Zhao Hongyu with smiles, and Sarah asked at the same time.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
