However, no matter how proud Ren Marin is, he looks more like a fool when he can't tell others about the existence of the Rand Gold Mine in South Africa. Fortunately, Marin is a pragmatist, and he doesn't care about short-term gains and losses. Anyway, he must have the last laugh.

But in any case, when the secret cannot be told to others...

"Now, I am more like a fool..."

Marin sighed, expressing helplessness. However, he was also accustomed to it, and he didn't care about temporary gains and losses. When his son Caesar came to ask the reason, Marin just smiled mysteriously:

"Son, remember, this is a super treasure left by your father. In case of difficulty, you must keep this site. Because, here is a super treasure buried underground!"

But what the treasure was, Marin didn't tell Caesar. Because Caesar was too young, only 14 years old, Marin feared that he would be too excited and lead to leaks. So Marin promised to tell him when Caesar turned 30. Of course, if Marin doesn't live until Caesar is 30 years old, he will also tell Caesar the secret in the undisclosed mystery will.

In fact, before Malin went to Daming, he buried this secret in the secret place sealed in cement. It's just that Marlin came back in time, so Caesar didn't have time to see the secret. Otherwise, the child would have known information about the South African gold mine.

However, the metal reserves of more than 50,000 tons of gold are also scary. Caesar was still a child, and Marin didn't want to scare him. Once the news leaked out, such a huge benefit would be enough for all Europe to unite against Marin. Therefore, Marin would rather be regarded as an egg, rather than be regarded as a fool, and would not reveal this secret.

...

Of course, fearing that Portugal would go back, Marin went to Lisbon in person and signed an agreement with the Portuguese monarchs and ministers, stipulating the permanent transfer of land ownership. Even Marin asked the Pope’s father-in-law to send a representative of the Holy See to be notarized. In this way, such a formal agreement will not allow the Portuguese to go back on it later. After all, the Portuguese's ownership of Africa is subject to the confirmation of the Holy See. If they do not comply with the agreement notarized by the Holy See, other countries can deny their ownership of Africa.

After signing the agreement, both parties are in a good mood. However, Marin's happiness was in his heart, while Manuel I and other Portuguese monarchs wrote happiness on their faces.

Afterwards, the Portuguese monarchs and ministers warmly welcomed Marin, the "prince" in the banquet hall of the palace...

At the banquet, Marin looked bitter and enmity, which made the Portuguese monarchs feel uncomfortable. I don't know that Marin was thinking at this moment-my acting skills are enough to win the Golden Elephant, Golden Rooster, and Palme d'Or? Well, I want to sweep all gold awards!

Suddenly, Manuel I asked Marin:

"Grand Duke Marin, what do you want so many boats for? Any big moves?"

For Marin, the new nobleman, the Portuguese are still quite vigilant. Mainly because Marin took part in the great voyage and grabbed the Portuguese cake. In particular, Marin was the first to contact the Ming empire, which the Portuguese regarded as forbidden. However, in the agreement signed by the Holy See, Marin had the right to colonize the islands east of the Ming Empire. Therefore, the Portuguese is not easy to blame Marin on the face, but it is for sure that he is unhappy.

This time, Marin bought more than 100 boats, and they were all Caravel sailing boats suitable for ocean voyages, which made the Portuguese monarchs wary for fear that Marin would **** the interests of the Portuguese.

Marin was stunned, but also reacted-the Portuguese are afraid that I will steal their interests...

But the transportation of immigrants from the Grand Duchy of Moscow should not be made public now. Marin thought for a while and finally came up with an excuse:

"That's it, Your Majesty, we are in good contact with the French side, and plan to emigrate more than 200,000 French victims to the wild continent. But to emigrate so many people, it takes a lot of ships. So..."

"So..." Manuel I suddenly realized it, and the Portuguese ministers on the side also realized it.

The Portuguese have heard of this, and the Portuguese spice market is the largest in France. Spain is France's mortal enemy, and the French will naturally not allow the Spanish to sell spices. Therefore, the spice market in France is occupied by the Portuguese. There are many Portuguese spice merchants in Paris, so they can naturally bring back news about the French victims in the North Sea country to cover Paris.

Moreover, Marin also expressed a meaning-this batch of ships, the sooner the delivery, the better.

Before the banquet ended, Marin asked Manuel I hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, I have a ruthless please..."

"Tell me..." Manuel I ate the barbecue dipped in pepper, while casually replying to Marin.

After a pause, Marin said:

"This Orange River, I don't know how to develop it to recover the cost."

"First of all, I will build a transit port at the mouth of the river to provide supplies for the North Sea country merchant ships going to and from the east..."

"You don't need to ask me about this. The land is already yours. It's your business how you want to deal with it." Manuel I interrupted. The agreement was signed, and he didn't think Marin needed to ask himself about this.

"Well, I know this. What I want to say is the second point-I plan to send a hunting team to the Orange River Valley to hunt rhinos and elephants to obtain high-value rhino horns and ivory. However, my subordinates The captain told me that the banks of the Orange River seemed a bit desolate. Moreover, the elephant herds and rhinos near the riverbanks might run out of the range of 30 leagues. If the hunting team chased the elephants and rhinos out of the range..."

"This won't work, this has exceeded the stipulations of the agreement!" Manuel I shook his head straight.

Marin sighed:

"I know, what I mean is that the hunting team accidentally chased out the elephant herd and rhinoceros that were originally near the river bank. I hope your country can understand. It's not that my hunting team went to your country's territory. Go hunting. You know, my hunting team doesn't know that the cost of 50,000 gold coins can be recovered only in the year of the monkey, 50,000..." Malin looked sad, as if he had lost 5 million. He is selling miserably, this is the killer of the previous talent show contestants winning the championship, think about it, it should be useful... right...

Sure enough, the monarch personally sold it miserably, which was still useful. Manuel I thought for a while and said:

"If you are hunting down elephants and rhinos that were originally in your territory, you can occasionally cross the line. But there is one thing you have to pay attention to-it is absolutely not allowed to establish camps outside the prescribed lines, and temporary camps are not allowed! Reclamation outside the line! Also, it is never allowed to cross the line to arrest black slaves and looting black villages!

Manuel I was not really sad about the local area. He did not allow people from the North Sea country to arrest black slaves and attack black villages, nor did he treat black people kindly. But he thinks-catching black slaves and attacking black villages is the business of the Portuguese, and the North Sea country cannot intervene. As for them to cross the border occasionally hunting, it is not unacceptable. Anyway, even if he didn't allow the North Sea Country Hunting Team to cross the border, he couldn't help it because he didn't send any man there.

In addition, the establishment of camps and land reclamation are also unacceptable to the Portuguese. Because it means settlement. Once the immigrants from the North Sea country settled on the Portuguese land, it would be difficult to drive them away in the future. Unless, send troops. However, that cost is too high. Therefore, it is best to say well in advance.

Therefore, after the banquet, the two parties signed a supplementary agreement. It is stipulated that the North Sea Country Hunting Team can occasionally cross the 30-mile grid line, but each time it crosses the line, it cannot stay for more than half a day. In addition, it is absolutely not allowed to establish camps and reclamation outside the line, nor to harass the black tribes outside the line...If the contract is breached, Portugal has the right to take back this land...

This supplementary agreement has still been notarized by the representative of the Holy See and is one of the contents of this agreement.

After the signing of the agreement, Marin's nickname "Ma Da Fool" spread in Lisbon. Marin didn't care about it either, just a fool. For the time being, I will be a fool. In the future, you will know who is the real fool...
