Chapter 2158： "Conservative Education Fund"

Since he is the "Gold Master", the first thing Marin thought of was the Bank of Siena in his hand. However, he immediately denied it. Why? Because many people know that he has shares in the Bank of Siena.

Although not many people in Germany know that Marin is a major shareholder in the Bank of Siena, many people know that Marin has a good relationship with the Bank of Siena and should be a shareholder.

Obviously, the Bank of Siena is managed by the Medici family, which has a good relationship with Marin, and the relationship with Marin does not seem to be very big. However, Marin had promoted the loan to His Majesty the Emperor, and it was two large-scale loans.

If this happened in the tightly controlled North Sea country, there would naturally not be much risk of leaks. But the problem is that the subject of this loan is Maximilian I. For generations of emperors of the Habsburg family, the emperor's majesty, Austria has long been the focus of the German princes. In Austria, there are also many eyeliners and spies of the princes. These eyeliners and spies may not be as professional as the professional spies of the North Sea country. However, it is sufficient to investigate some news in Austria.

Therefore, the problem is not with Marin, the problem is with Austria. The unusual relationship between Marin and the Bank of Siena had been leaked on the Austrian side. If the Bank of Siena is allowed to become the "grant", there will definitely be princes suspecting that it is Marin's handwriting. At that time, it must be jointly blocked.

Then, the situation is clear. The sponsor to be "created" cannot be related to the Bank of Siena. It can't even be related to the Medici family in Florence. Because everyone knows that Marin is closely related to Bishop Giovanni of the Medici family (that is, Leo X). If the gold master of the Florentine faction comes forward, the general princes may not be able to guess, but the Elector of Saxony, Frederick III, can certainly guess.

Even the financial institutions in Venice could not be dispatched. Because the relationship between Venice and the North Sea country is also very good. The Venetian came forward, and it is easy to be seen as Marin's ally.

In addition, the Fugger family cannot come forward. Because the Fugger family has a close relationship with the Habsburg family, and the relationship with Marin is also very good. If the Fugger family came forward to fund the recruitment of Shibel, the princes would not only worry that these soldiers were for Marin, but also that the emperor would recruit them. Therefore, it is also undesirable.

So, there is only one option left-the bank of Genoa...

Although the Republic of Genoa was ransacked by France in the Italian War, it was still suppressed by Venice in every possible way at sea. But the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the accumulation of Genneas is still very rich for hundreds of years. Although the French had ransacked Gennea, the ancient merchants were good at burying gold and silver, and most of them must have not been raided.

Historically, Genoa's financial businessmen went bankrupt, mainly because Spain, which owed debts, declared the country bankrupt, and relied on its debts, which caused heavy losses to Genoa's bankers. Moreover, the most cheating is that Spain went bankrupt eight times from the middle of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century!

This kind of blatant recklessness caused the Genoa bankers who stood by the Spaniards to lose their money, and eventually fell in large numbers. The financial industry in Genoa has also suffered a devastating blow. Of course, the eight bankruptcies of the Spanish Habsburg royal family are not only the bankers of Genoa. The Fugger family, the first richest family in Germany, was also forced to go bankrupt and retired from the stage of history because of eight failures.

But the bankruptcy of the Fugger family also had its own reasons, mainly because they lost their bet on investing in copper mines. If only the loan from the Habsburg family cannot be recovered, it will not make their family bankrupt. However, the Fugger family died hoarding copper mines and bought copperware on a large scale, preparing to speculate on copper prices and make huge profits.

But the problem is that the Fugger family miscalculated and forgot the overseas market. The Dutch brought back a large amount of Japanese copper from Japan, and the output of Sweden's Falun copper mine broke out, smashing the price of copper. Then, the Fugger family, who was counting on the price of copper to make a comeback, was completely finished...

Of course, these are the original history. In this time and space, Marin took the lead in purchasing large quantities of copper ingots in India, and directed the Spanish to find copper mines in northern Zimbabwe (later Zambia). The Fugger family saw that the future output of copper mines would definitely be huge, so they stopped hoarding copper mines. They also started to develop the copper mines that they had hoarded before.

Similarly, because history has been changed by Marin, the Spanish Habsburg dynasty will no longer appear, and there will be no subsequent bankruptcies for eight times. The bankers in Genoa can also avoid becoming nothing.

…

However, the life and death of the bankers in Genoa has nothing to do with Marin. Marin is only concerned about the establishment of a shell bank in Genoa. Then, use it as a cover to provide funding for the recruitment of Shibel.

No, it shouldn't be a bank. Banks are profit-making institutions, which clearly shows that they are losing money. Therefore, a public welfare fund should be established. The purpose, naturally, is to defend religion.

Therefore, Marin thought about it and decided to name this institution the "Apologetic Fund". The publicity is to protect the interests of Catholics and protect Catholics.

When the Grand Duchy of Moscow defeated Lithuania, it was the Orthodox country that defeated the Catholic country. In addition, the Muscovites definitely demanded the seizure of the Smolensk region, which obviously violated the interests of the Catholic Church. It is quite reasonable for an organization called the "Apologetic Fund" to allocate funds for this purpose and recruit warriors to go to Lithuania to "approval".

The Republic of Genoa has always had nothing to do with Marin, or even to deal with it (after all, Marin has a good relationship with Gennea's archenemy Venice), and the institutions here, the German princes would not think of Marin.

…

In addition, the existence of this institution has another advantage. It is possible to solicit donations from people from all walks of life in Italy to relieve Marin's financial pressure. After all, this matter is to protect the interests of the Catholic Church, and it makes no sense to leave Marin alone. And because of the existence of the Holy See, the Italian region is the most religious region in Europe for Catholicism. In addition, there are many Italian businessmen who have money to donate.

At that time, news of Lithuania's defeat came. In the name of defending the interests of the Catholic Church, the "Apothecary Fund" went out to alms, and it could raise more or less money, which could reduce Marin's burden.

But the mercenaries recruited by the "Apothecary Education Fund" funds, UU Reading www. Uukanshu.com will eventually be cheaper than Marin. Therefore, Marin made a lot of money in the end. It is equivalent to crowdfunding to recruit troops for himself. Although he was still a big head, he finally let him take the benefits...

"Spend other people's money and recruit your own soldiers... It's so cool!" Thinking of this, Marin became happy.

Siber was confused, but Marin would not tell him the truth. Shibel has not yet received Marin's trust, so these secrets will definitely not be told to him.

Marin only told him—he would find a way to help him get money...

What Siber had to do was to take his men back from Poland to Bohemia on the same route. Also, pretend that you haven't seen Marin. Specifically, there was an upset with the grassroots officials of Beihai Country, and then the whole group was expelled...

With these processes, Marin will order his subordinates to cooperate in the play. Then, on the bright side, Shibel became the hapless guy, and went down to the Württemberg mountains in despair.

Afterwards, Marin will arrange for someone to give funding in the name of an Italian, and let him build the shelf first. When news of the defeat in Lithuania comes, the "Apologetic Fund" will openly fund them, let them recruit mercenaries and go to Lithuania to participate in the Apologetic War...
