- One night passed, and a lot of things happened.
"Zhao Hongyu couldn't possibly know that little fat boy Ed had been kicked out of the house, but he didn't come to see Zhao Hongyu. Instead, he went to the countryside to find his mother, planning to talk to his mother and let her know that he was going to work for Zhao Hongyu.
In the opinion of little fat man Ed, being kicked out was just what he wanted.
He knows that the greed of his father and brothers and sisters may eventually bring him trouble.
So, taking this opportunity to get away, he was extremely happy.
Anyway, they don¡¯t believe that they can really make a name for themselves, so they will just work hard to make them regret it in the future.
When the time comes, they will still want to take advantage, but things will not be that good.
His story spread quickly, and it became a topic of conversation at breakfast among Lisbon¡¯s aristocratic circles early the next morning.
Basically, many nobles are not optimistic about the future of little fat Ed. In their eyes, he is young, useless and a waste. Although he has been favored by the crown prince of the American Empire, how long can this favor be maintained?
¡°Maybe the crown prince just had a whim.
Only Megan doesn¡¯t think so, but he doesn¡¯t care about helping little fat Ed now.
After he returned that night, he immediately began to gather his men and asked them to prepare to clean up the beggars in Lisbon.
And he wrote the document overnight, sent someone to Madrid as quickly as possible, and submitted it.
The content of the document is very simple. It just names the concession and cleaning up the beggars, as well as the benefits that Spain can get.
The sugar business still needs to sign documents and send a ship to America before it can be implemented.
"But for cleaning up beggars and criminals, money can come in immediately.
So, early the next morning, Lisbon law enforcement officials started taking action. They first targeted the real criminals, and batches of thieves, robbers, and gangsters were arrested.
And what makes people very excited is that these arrested guys will be put on trial and witnesses will be called to determine their crimes.
In order to aggravate the crimes of these guys, the nobles who had an agreement with Zhao Hongyu even asked their own people to pretend to be victims and tell some unfounded experiences.
¡°These people are all real criminals anyway, so there is no need to worry about their secrets being exposed.
In this way, a large number of newly released felons were released.
"These guys were sentenced to at least thirty years in prison. It can be seen that these nobles have done whatever it takes to get silver coins.
¡°However, when there is no reply from Spain, these prisoners cannot be handed over to Zhao Hongyu because the price cannot be determined yet.
So, Lisbon¡¯s prisons were overcrowded all of a sudden.
??The special "anti-gang" campaign here in Lisbon has been very popular among ordinary people.
In their view, such action should have been taken a long time ago.
Those criminals are lawless and dare to enter residential buildings in broad daylight to commit violent activities, leaving the public with no guarantee of safety.
The public trial at the same time made these ordinary people find entertainment points, and they were as excited as if they were celebrating a carnival.
It¡¯s very pitiful to say that there were very few festivals in Europe at this time, and there were no entertainment activities.
Therefore, Europeans living in this era lived a very boring life.
¡°Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have dragged their families to watch when a prisoner was being beheaded or hanged.
The reason is very simple, just think of it as watching entertainment programs.
Seeing it, to what extent it is to be boring, you will treat execution as entertainment.
In the small central square of Lisbon, the cross streets were heavily guarded, and the prisoners were brought to the trial stand one by one.
A trial team composed of law enforcement officers and priests began to set sentences for the prisoners' crimes.
After every criminal comes on stage, the onlookers will shout loudly, as if those criminals are big stars.
It was a very serious and solemn trial, and the result looked like a stage play.
But no matter what, Zhao Hongyu and Megan finally achieved the ultimate goal that everyone wanted to see.
As for some small flaws contained in this process, no one will care.
The priest of the church had also been bribed by Megan and the others a long time ago. Two fresh young men spent the night with the priest, and added a little girl.My wife¡¯s gold peso, everything is so simple, right?
Therefore, when every prisoner goes to the trial stand, the priest will declare them guilty.
Well, this is what the righteous Lord declares.
¡° Then Megan will preside over the trial on behalf of the human world to judge the other party¡¯s crime.
Originally, Megan wanted to invite Zhao Hongyu to attend, but considering the stench on the streets of Lisbon, Zhao Hongyu refused to go and watch.
Lisbon is as far from Madrid as it is from the capital of China to Taiyuan, or from Nanning to Guangzhou.
If it were the future generations, it would take more than ten hours to take a shuttle bus and take the expressway.
But this was still in 1621. There were no highways here, and they were all bumpy dirt roads and mountain roads.
Therefore, just sending the news from Lisbon to Madrid will take three to four days or even longer at the earliest. Not to mention that after the news of Meghan was sent to Madrid, the nobles delayed it again.
¡°Haha, I think Zhao Hongyu will have to stay in Lisbon for a month.
But Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t feel anything.
Anyway, life on the battleship is not bad, there is food and drink, you can also look at the buildings in Lisbon on the shore and enjoy the sea breeze.
Life is quite comfortable for him.
The city of Lisbon is in a state of chaos, which cannot affect Zhao Hongyu at all.
However, Zhao Hongyu still found a merchant ship that was going to America and asked them to bring a letter to Zhang Tie.
The content of this heart is very simple, it is to tell Zhang Tie to prepare some ships and then come to Lisbon to take back the prisoners.
In this way, two days passed, and the little fat man Ed took his mother to find Zhao Hongyu. Zhao Hongyu also heard about what happened to the little fat man.
This is what the visiting Meghan told him.
"Zhao Hongyu couldn't comment on the little fat man's family, but he felt that they were really stupid.
"Your Highness, I am homeless now. If I can, I would like to start working now." The little fat man was very direct. After meeting Zhao Hongyu, he directly stated his request to work and make money.
Requirement?
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s view, this is not a requirement at all.
¡°I just want to work to make money to support my mother. There is nothing wrong with that.
It can be seen that the little fat man is still a very filial person.
Since he is so filial to his mother, he is a person who can be trusted.
Of course, if you want Zhao Hongyu to trust him, this alone is not enough.
"If you want to work, you can. But you also know that I can't give you goods in large quantities now, so you can start your promotion plan now. But you can first go to the land that Viscount Megan is planning to allocate to us. Go and have a look, because I think construction will start there soon.¡±
Little Fatty Ed thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Your Highness means that I will be responsible for things there for the time being, right?"
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "You must make some money to support your family."
"OK!"
Little Fatty Ed readily agreed.
"Okay, I want to see it too. Megan told me about that place, and I have to see it with my own eyes." Zhao Hongyu stood up and told Wang Shan to prepare. He wanted to go there in person. Take a look at the wasteland. "Wang Shan, prepare the horses and bring some people with us to see the future concession land."
Soon, Wang Shan had more than forty horses ready.
Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Shan to send people to buy these horses from nearby. You must know that many noble families have extra horses. It is a waste of money to keep them, so it is better to let him buy them.
"Your Highness, are you not going to take Queen Sarah and Queen Emma with you?"
Wang Shan asked before leaving.
"No need, they said they wanted to study something at home."
Zhao Hongyu shook his head, shook the reins in his hand, and urged the horse under his crotch to rush out.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Oops!
The genetic guards, Wang Shan and little fat boy Ed followed suit.
Megan is planning to allocate the wasteland to Zhao Hongyu and the others, which is not far from the dock.
Located at the southern tip of Lisbon, it is an area with many small gravel mountain landforms.
If you ride a horse, you can reach Lisbon's harbor in about fifteen minutes. However, due to the uneven terrain, no one has developed it.
¡°And the ground here is full of gravel, so it¡¯s not suitable for farming.
¡°It¡¯s not bad here, only a short distance from Lisbon.?Very close. If we build a cement road, the time to get to the port can be significantly reduced. "After looking at the environment here, Wang Shan rode his horse to Zhao Hongyu and said to him.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "We can also build a port from here to connect to the port in Lisbon. It will be used as a special berthing point for our imperial merchant ships, without having to berth at the Lisbon pier."
He raised his hand and pointed at the beach in front of him and said loudly.
"Your Highness, how do you plan to develop this place?"
At this time, the little fat man Ed also rode up and slowly approached and asked.
Yes, little fat Ed is very curious about what the Crown Prince from America wants to do if he wants to own such a concession.
In his own mind, he has thought about many possibilities.
Build a castle or a large manor.
After all, aren¡¯t all those nobles like this?
¡°But that¡¯s what you would do if you were in your own territory.
??And this place can only be a concession in the future, and it is rented.
Although the time is a bit long, decades or a hundred years. But in the end, this land is not your own, so it is useless no matter how good the construction is.
Because in the end they will all become someone else¡¯s wedding dress.
Therefore, little fat man Ed just couldn¡¯t figure out how the Crown Prince would use this land to build his concession.
" Losing money, this approach is a loss-making business in Ed's opinion.
Because no matter how you build, it will be taken back when the deadline comes.
Even if you build a shabby one, you will still lose money.
Zhao Hongyu looked back at the little fat man Ed, smiled and said: "I plan to build the empire's embassy here, as well as military camps, hospitals and schools, and even residential buildings for the citizens sent by the empire. Of course, I also Some properties will be developed and sold to wealthy nobles."
When Zhao Hongyu smiles, he always shows his big white teeth.
You know, the nobles he comes into contact with these days will all express envy of his white teeth.
Because their teeth are all black and yellow, and some of their gums are even rotten.
"Don't think they are nobles, so what?"
It is normal to not have good brushing habits and not pay attention to oral hygiene.
"And some aristocratic ladies would also show fascination when they saw Zhao Hongyu's big white teeth.
Zhao Hongyu sometimes wonders why the protagonists in YY novels are fascinated by ancient women. Are they not afraid of their bad breath?
When Sarah first started, she also had this shortcoming.
Fortunately, everything has been corrected now.
Looking at Zhao Hongyu¡¯s big white teeth, little fat man Ed felt dizzy.
¡°Mom, how can these teeth be so white?
The little fat man complained in his heart.
In fact, toothpaste and toothbrushes have been sold in the Americas for a long time, but Europeans are not familiar with them, and they are used to not brushing their teeth, so the sales of this product have never been open.
"Your Highness, do you think it will be profitable to develop real estate here?"
After turning his attention away from his white teeth, the little fat man asked.
"Of course, the real estate I develop will certainly make money. And I am also planning to open a supermarket, you know. Open a supermarket in every big city in Europe to sell our products."
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s heart, he already had a big plan.
"Don't worry, His Highness knows it well. Don't ask so many questions. I still can't explain it clearly to you because your current knowledge is not rich enough."
Wang Shan poked the little fat boy Ed and reminded him.
Little Fatty Ed knows Wang Shan¡¯s identity and knows that he is the person His Highness trusts most, so he respects Little Fatty Wang Shan very much.
"Some of our products that are not well-known in the Americas need to be promoted in the future. These products are closely related to people's lives. If they can be promoted successfully, this will be a huge fortune." Zhao Hongyu looked at it with sparkling eyes. The little fat man said to him.
"I noticed that you have been observing my teeth. I wonder if you are wondering why my teeth are so white, but yours are so yellow."
Zhao Hongyu asked the little fat man with an evil smile.
The little fat man nodded: "To be honest, Your Highness, I'm really curious. Standing in front of you and talking to you."At this time, the breath you exhale is fragrant, while the breath of other nobles is a foul smell. "
The little fat man told the truth.
Zhao Hongyu looked at the little fat man seriously and said: "Actually, it's hard to talk to you, because the breath coming out of your mouth is also very smelly, which makes me lose the ability to talk to you many times. This will be a great influence on your future." The work is very disadvantageous, after all, your studio promotes products, and you inevitably have to deal with people."
The little fat man nodded and admitted that what Zhao Hongyu said was right at all.
"So as a product promoter, I think you should try the product you promote first." Zhao Hongyu tilted his head at Wang Shan, and then Wang Shan took out a small wooden box and a toothbrush. .
