Chapter 1831: acting

When Baron Bogul buried his head to deal with a miso elbow, John Laffey stared, and the two "businessmen" who were in charge of warming up immediately began to talk about ...

"I am going to ship a batch of Bordeaux wine to the North Sea country for sale recently. The North Sea country is richer, and nobles over there are said to be able to eat white bread made of wheat flour. And, they touched the cream And the kind of honey ... "A North Sea spy, pseudonymous, Jilu boasted.

At this time, another North Sea spy, who was renamed Trezeguet, immediately answered:

"Well, I have heard of the richness of the North Sea country. It is said that since the capture of the principalities of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and the principalities of Brunswick-Lüneburg over there, it is said that he held the Goslar silver Both the capital of Lüneburg and the salt capital of the North Sea are now rich. The high-end things like Bordeaux red wine are more popular there. The Lafite red wine like Lord John ’s is very popular in the North Sea country. "High-end goods ..." After that, "Trezeguet" smiled flatteringly at John Laffey, very in line with his noble status.

Then, a young North Sea spy, aliasing Griezmann on one side, also chimed in:

"Two people, I know that Beihai has money. But the problem is that because of the smallpox problem, the Grand Prince of the Beihai State has announced the blockade of the border and banned foreigners from entering! Even if there are good goods, the two dudes are difficult to enter! "

The "merchant" who changed his name to Giroud disdain:

"What do you know? Little brother, the smallpox has subsided, or the" vaccinia law "created by Duke Marin has solved the problem. Today, although Beihai is still martial law at the border, it is still promoting vaccinia cultivation, but Em. Foreign trade ports like Denggang have begun to open to the outside world. I only need to send freight to Emden and find the North Sea merchants who will take over, and I can make a fortune. Right now, the smallpox has just passed, these few In May, it is estimated that the high-end wines in Beihai have long been out of stock, and there is definitely a market! "

"Trezeguet" nodded again and again, agreeing:

"Yes, trades have been interrupted for a long time because of smallpox in the past few months. The nobles of the North Sea country have certainly not been able to drink high-end wine for a long time! This time, the Jilu brothers will definitely make a fortune!"

"All God bless ..." "Girul" said modestly ...

...

Of course, the above are all foreshadowing, and the real topic is to be talked about for a long time before being thrown out ...

"You said, these hundreds of thousands of victims, why didn't they encircle Paris and make troubles? It feels so weird! I heard that in the Duchy of Württemberg on the German side, all the peasants waged a rebellion against Württemberg. The Duke of Fort did it, why are these victims so honest? "The young" Gritzman "asked suspiciously.

The older "Trezege" shook his head and said:

"It's not easy? Because the rebellion doesn't end well! You also heard that no matter the rebel peasant on the side of Württemberg or the mob on the side of Hungary, they were finally suppressed by the nobles. Now, those rebellions The mobs of the two countries were sold by the monarchs of the two countries to the male prince of the Beihai Kingdom and sent to the barren mainland to cut trees and reclaim the wasteland! So, as long as they are not stupid, they will not rebelliously rebel. Moreover, the knights of my Greater France are powerful, but It is not comparable to the small waste country of Württemberg! As long as those victims dare to rebel, they will be destroyed by the heroic French knights. The dare to rebellion will be ruthlessly killed by the knights. As long as they do n’t Stupid, don't dare to do that! "

At this time, Baron Bogur, who was nibbling the elbow of the sauce, paused, glanced at "Trezeguet", and then continued to nibble the elbow of the sauce. The general has a large amount of rice, which is already his second elbow.

Seeing attracted the attention of Baron Bogur, the three spies were overjoyed. At this moment, the spy who changed his name to "Jilu" suddenly said:

"I suddenly had an idea, maybe I can solve this problem of the victims ..."

Then, the attention of others was drawn. Even Baron Bourgul, who had gnawed his elbow, suspended the bite of the elbow, and raised his ears to listen to what Ji Lu said.

I saw that "Jilu" pretended to be a mysterious master:

"Since these more than 300,000 victims outside the city can no longer afford the royal family, and have seriously affected the external image of my Kingdom of France, why don't we learn the prodigal son of Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, Tens of thousands of victims have packaged and sold them to Grand Marin of the North Sea Kingdom? Do you know? The first time the Principality of Württemberg suppressed the rebels, they arrested 27,000 mobs, and then bought 26,000 mobs and their families to Marin for 780,000 Goulden gold coins! Counting the second batch of mobs caught later, a total of 30 thousand or 40 thousand mobs were exchanged from Grand Duke Marin for a few hundred thousand coins. Not only did the original Duke Ulrich owe a hundred The huge debt of ten thousand gold coins has been repaid, and the balance is still very large, so that Duke Ulrich made a fortune! "

Then, "Trezeguet" was again in high praise, adding:

"More than that, I heard that on Hungary, 67,800 prisoners of war were also sold to Grand Duke Marin. The price is not as high as 30 gold coins per household in Württemberg, but there are also 20 Goulden coins per household, the total price. The 1.1 million gold coins are comparable to the annual revenue of the Kingdom of France! "

Baron Bogul had already laid down half of his elbows at this time, and began to listen to them bragging ...

The young "Gritzman" curiously said:

"God! Buying such a large population not only costs more than two million gold coins, but also has to pay for their food. Where is the big male of the Beihai Kingdom?

"Gilu" explained:

"Duke Marin did not have that much money. He borrowed money from the Fugel family, the richest man in Germany. You know, it is said that the Fugel family has assets of several million gold coins and lent two million to Duke Marlin. Still no problem. Moreover, Grand Duke Marin obtained the large silver mine in Goslar, which is repayable. As for the food to feed these hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war ... It is said that the North Sea has a secret art, and the food output is very high. Maybe Can feed those hundreds of thousands of victims, I do n’t know if this is true ... ”

At this moment, the eyes of Baron Bogur flashed. As the king's minister, he certainly knew the "secret technique" of the high-yield food in the North Sea, not ash. Moreover, it seems that this Viscount John Laffey presented it in front of him. So, he gave John Laffy a deep look ...

John Rafi pretended not to see it and bowed his head to drink. And at this time, the best "chuck" Griezmann stood up again:

"Huh-this is a good idea! If His Majesty the King sold the 300,000 or so victims outside the city to the Grand Prince Marin of the North Sea State, he would be able to exchange millions of gold coins for it! If they can afford the food for the 300,000 or so disaster victims, they will be able to exchange their national revenue for nearly a year. Moreover, they will have the military expenses to fight the Spaniards next year! "

Upon hearing this, Baron Bogul was shocked, and the glass in his hand almost fell. Although he is not smart, he can hear a lot of big people talking about big things, and he can understand a little.

This "Gritzman" is not false at all ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If you can really sell these land-lost victims to Marin, you can not only get rid of this heavy "burden", but also serve the royal family In exchange for millions of gold coins, the chances of defeating Spain are greatly improved.

But at this time, what surprised him was that the owner of John Rafi expressed different views:

"What nonsense? It's not as simple as you think! Selling the victims to Beihai can indeed make a fortune, and you can get rid of the package. But, have you thought about the face of His Majesty the King? Sell so many people to foreigners , Your Majesty ’s reputation will be affected! "

The eyes of Baron Bogul suddenly dimmed—yes, the sellers can certainly not only carry the burden but also make a lot of money. However, this is not good for the king of Francois I, and is easily criticized ... As the loyalty of His Majesty the King, can Baron Bogul be willing to damage his reputation?

But at this time, the young "businessman Griezmann" who had always acted as a "professor" refuted:

"Master Viscount, I don't think it's difficult!"

"It's not difficult? What do you say? The face of His Majesty the King, that's the most important thing!" John Laffie looked at Griezmann angrily ...
