- It can be seen from Lano's reaction that he is still very wary of himself.
¡° However, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan understood Lano¡¯s reaction very well.
After all, if this kind of thing happened to him, he would probably be more cautious than Lano himself.
If you think about it this way, you will feel relieved in the end.
"The reason why I like your group is that the most important thing is that you know how to distribute the looted property and how to win over the goodwill of the people at the bottom. This is completely different from those organizations that live and drink after getting the property. , which is why I came to you."
Zhao Hongyu made no secret of the reason why La Nuo fell in love with them.
After hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Lano curled his lips and whispered: But don¡¯t those hearts regard us as fools in the end?
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan looked at each other, and then Wang Shan said to Lanuo: "No, you only saw the surface, but you didn't see the most important thing inside, which is that you have won the hearts of the people."
Rano raised his head, a little confused and confused, but he looked at Wang Shan as if he understood something.
"People's hearts?"
Wang Shan nodded: "Yes, people's hearts. Your actions have won the hearts and favor of the people at the bottom, but you did not incite them, so this situation eventually occurred."
Rano shook his head and asked, "Where did we go wrong?"
To be honest, he really didn¡¯t know what they did wrong.
¡°I did exactly what the thieves in some biographical novels did, but those who got the property did not follow me as described in the book.
This makes Rano really unhappy.
Zhao Hongyu sat behind his desk, shook his head and smiled.
"Cooperate with us. As long as you cooperate with us, we will be responsible for training you and building momentum for you."
¡° Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to tell them what they did wrong about Lano and the others right now.
If we say it now, wouldn¡¯t there be fewer trump cards for cooperation?
"What kind of cooperation method?"
Rano asked.
"We provide money and weapons. We also teach you some methods of inciting the people so that you can have the capital to fight against the Spaniards. And all you have to do is lead a war with the Spaniards. I think this is nothing. It¡¯s difficult to handle.¡±
Rano said: "It's very difficult. With Portugal, it's still very difficult to fight against the Spaniards. I think you should know this. Moreover, to do all this, your plan must go well. Who of us You don¡¯t know what kind of accident will happen, and besides, this is just an idea of ??yours.¡±
Rano didn¡¯t agree, but he didn¡¯t refuse either.
To be honest, he has been tempted by Zhao Hongyu.
"It was just considering whether Zhao Hongyu was trustworthy and whether this matter could be done, that's why Lano didn't answer.
He knew a little bit about Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan, and after thinking about it, Lano felt that it was very feasible.
Because there is a foundation here in Portugal, the people are really oppressed by the Spaniards.
"If they could gather thousands of men, give the Spaniards a heavy blow, and win a few small victories.
So under this influence. More people will join in.
¡°Besides, didn¡¯t the American crown prince say it again? Is he here to provide funds and weapons?
As long as he has funds and weapons, even if he fails in the end, he can leave Portugal with his companions and live in a new place.
Unless they were really unlucky and were all killed by the Spaniards.
"What if we fail? At least we can live now. If we follow your plan, we will have no way to survive if we fail." Lano said to Zhao Hongyu.
"The reason why I like you is because you dare to resist the Spaniards, but what you say now makes me very disappointed." Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu shook his head repeatedly with a disappointed look on his face¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
Just when Zhao Hongyu came into contact with Lano. France also received news from Lisbon.
The news is very simple. It just means that the crown prince of the American Song Empire stopped in Lisbon and reached some trade agreements with some nobles in Lisbon.
This matter is nothing to ordinary people, but it is very different in the eyes of Queen Mary.
AmericaThe Crown Prince of the Empire represents a different meaning. The trade agreement obtained from him is a huge fortune even if you think about it.
¡°It¡¯s really unbelievable that such a good thing would happen to those wealthy aristocrats in Lisbon.
"Do you know what kind of goods the crown prince of America trades with these nobles in Lisbon?"
Wang Li put down the letter from Lisbon and asked softly.
Following her at this time was the Grand Duke of Orleans.
Hearing this, he replied: "According to inquiries from businessmen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of America has reached a sugar trade agreement with a Viscount of Lisbon. There are also some trade agreements for the purchase of prisoners. In addition, the Viscount also Taking advantage of his rights, he specially approved a piece of wasteland to be given to the crown prince as a concession."
In fact, there is no way that what Zhao Hongyu is doing is a secret.
People in this era don¡¯t have that so-called sense of confidentiality.
Therefore, the French easily obtained this information.
"Sugar? Prisoner? Concession?"
Queen Mary frowned slightly, she couldn't understand this.
The Grand Duke of Orleans explained: "Snow-white sugar, I have never seen such sugar. I have to say that the viscount was very lucky. He represented this kind of white sugar. It can be predicted that he is destined to make a fortune."
While speaking, the Grand Duke of Orleans took out a small ceramic bottle from his arms.
After he opened the lid, Mary took a look, and her eyes were filled with snow-white sugar.
There is also sugar here in France, but it is the dark-colored sucrose, and the sweetness is not very high.
¡°The appearance alone is no match for this kind of white sugar.
Once you take a look at it, you will already like it.
"There really is such snow-white sugar in the world. I didn't believe it when I heard what you just said." Mary said in surprise as she looked at the ceramic bottle in the hands of the Grand Duke of Orleans.
"Actually, I don't believe it either, but after seeing this kind of white sugar, I can't help but not believe it." The Archduke of Orleans said after sighing.
"This kind of white sugar is very sweet. Compared with the sugar we eat now, it is completely incomparable." The Duke of Orleans has tasted this kind of white sugar, so he has a deep understanding of this kind of white sugar. experience.
"The sugar agent guy is really lucky, but we don't need to worry about him now. With such a large deal, he won't be able to sustain it alone for long." Mary knew such a profitable business. And such a good product cannot be preserved by just a little viscount.
The greedy nobles in Spain alone can make this guy spit out the deal.
Therefore, Mary would not take such a person seriously.
"This crown prince of America, what's going on with the prisoner trade he signed with Lisbon?" Queen Mary continued to ask.
When the Duke of Orleans saw Queen Mary and asked about this matter, he quickly replied: "Your Royal Highness, this trade is of great benefit." The Duke talked about this matter. He seemed very excited. His reaction aroused Queen Mary's interest, "Oh. What are the benefits? You are so excited."
hey-hey
The Duke of Orleans smiled, and then said: "There are many bankrupt refugees in Lisbon. They rush into the city and have an impact on the city's security. Moreover, these people do evil and do evil so that the nobles cannot be safe. But through this agreement, , but you can easily solve the problems of these refugees. You can also make a fortune."
Then, he told Mary about the advantages and benefits involved.
After listening to the Duke of Orleans¡¯ story. Queen Mary nodded.
"This trade can really be done. You must know that now we are also having a headache for those gangsters in Paris. It is a waste of money to catch them and put them in jail, but if we don't catch them, they will affect public security. If we can also deal with the Crown Prince Signing an agreement will hopefully solve this problem."
Of course Mary is aware of the advantages and benefits in this. In her opinion, the refugees are the source of the unrest. Apart from causing trouble, there is no benefit at all.
¡°But the Crown Prince from America pointed out a clear way for her.
That means that while solving these troubles, you can also make a fortune to add funds to the empty national treasury.
You know, France and Spain are similar now, and the government and royal family also have a large foreign debt.
And these debts are all owed toof some Jewish merchants.
Jews have been able to do things like lending money to the country and earning interest from a long time ago.
And in the process, they made a lot of profits.
It is a pity that paper money was not popular in this era, and these Jewish businessmen had no control over the country's currency issuance power. Otherwise, they would have done so long ago.
"We can try to contact the crown prince. You must know that there are many criminals and prisoners in our country, as well as those who are homeless and bankrupt."
Mary also wants to do this business with Zhao Hongyu. After all, who doesn¡¯t like making money.
"We can talk about this matter, but we don't need to go to Lisbon. Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might take the initiative to come to France and meet with us."
The Grand Duke of Orleans said to Queen Marie.
"Yes, it will indeed be like this. The widows of the Samuel family are under house arrest in Marseille. Sarah will definitely let this passionate crown prince come to France. In this way, we don't have to go to find him at all, as long as we sit quietly Just wait for him at home."
"Then tell me, what's going on in that concession?"
Suddenly, Mary thought that Zhao Hongyu had set up a concession in Lisbon. Even a smart woman like Mary couldn't figure out what this concession was used for.
It¡¯s not like it¡¯s territory.
Because they are renting it, in theory they have to exchange it back after it expires, and even the building above it has to be handed over to them.
This kind of thing looks like a loss-making business at first glance, so Mary can't figure out why the American crown prince would do such a thankless thing.
Is it possible that people are really stupid and have too much money?
Just when she was thinking wildly, the Duke of Orleans explained.
"This matter is actually beneficial to the country that leased the land and the crown prince. Because he will set up some commodity exhibitions in the concession and pile up large quantities of commodities for the country's businessmen to buy. In this way It saves you the trouble of traveling at sea"
With the Duke of Orleans¡¯ explanation, Mary gradually understood the public use of the concession.
¡°In fact, she didn¡¯t know at all that such a statement was deliberately spread by Zhao Hongyu, just to reassure European countries.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu would not reveal the true role of the concession at all.
"And the national rulers of this era, no matter how smart they are, can't see through the little secrets inside.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu planned to use the concession as a training base for terrorists in the 17th century and a gathering place for members of anti-government factions.
It can be foreseen what the scene will be like when opposition parties and radicals from some countries gather in the concession.
??The concession has judicial authority and various powers, is not subject to the control of various countries at all, and can also station troops.
Haha, I can¡¯t control anything related to it.
Only then will European countries suddenly realize it.
But by that time, even if they wake up, it will be too late.
It¡¯s just that Mary can¡¯t know this, and even the nobles in Lisbon can¡¯t know this.
Therefore, they all fell into Zhao Hongyu's trap step by step.
"I really hope to see the Crown Prince of the Americas soon. If possible, I would like to borrow a large amount of money from him to pay those Jews. You know, we have a loan to come now. It¡¯s due, and those Jews are in a hurry.¡±
Queen Mary turned to the Grand Justice of Orleans.
"These damn Jews, don't their greed have no bottom? We only borrowed five million livres, but now we have repaid seven million livres and we have not yet paid them back."
The Grand Duke of Orleans gritted his teeth when Queen Mary mentioned these things.
It ¡¯s pity, in fact, this money is not a lot of money, as long as it is tight, you can pay back.
It¡¯s just a pity that the nobles spend too much and they don¡¯t know how to save. So I spent all the money I had on living and drinking, which led to me not paying off the loan for several years.
You know, 10% of the interest is only 5.5 million.
It¡¯s not that difficult to return.
¡°But when Mary had money, she used it to buy luxury goods and didn¡¯t pay back the money at all, which resulted in the loan never being repaid.
And she still doesn¡¯t know how to repent, and she actually blames others for her mistakes.superior.
I really don¡¯t know what Queen Mary will say if Zhao Hongyu engages in loan sharking for future generations - Didn't finish reading?
