Chapter 289: Venice scroll (5) even if there was a camouflage net, people couldn't see the disappearing Chu Yining, but the venetians on the street still noticed the disappearing Chu Yining
Venice in the 15th century was still a christian and devout republic, and Huang Xuan had to use the same camouflage net to disappear on the streets, then turn a corner and try to change his image
He was not prepared to return to p 112 now, which would be too urgent
Moreover, with Huang Xuan's current strength on earth, he had no ability to find an alien without a passport around the world
That Mr
Spy would eventually try to find a flaw in Huang Xuan, and the more time it was, the more he couldn't
Cheer yourself up: be as brave as the first time you hit someone with a rock when you were a child
Asked Lorraine to change his skin, huang xuan looked at himself as if he had been bleached on the energy screen and said, "Nick, you used Kang Fu to replenish Lorraine with a billion heat rings
Lorraine, once the energy arrives, you upgrade
"" Okay
"" How long will it take
"" In three to four days, the ratio of time between p301 and p112 is about 1: 2
You only need to wait two days to complete
"" That's best
" Nick, on the other hand, said with some displeasure," is it possible to make the uninteresting Lorraine a level 18 traveler
"" If you can get Lu Min to sell the blueprints of the level 24 transit base to the materials of a level 17 base, I'll upgrade you
" Nick suddenly became excited and said," I'll hurry them up
" With a sigh, both bases were emotionless, and there was no such thing as a sense of crisis
Even if he really wanted Nick to blow himself up, he would not complain
Only he would really have emotional fluctuations because of the future
He tried to speak a few words of italian - naturally through Nick's translation, Huang Xuan moved outside
He needed to improve his strength, and every bit of energy could make a qualitative leap in his strength
The reason why Chu Yining let him go was probably because he was worried that he would jump over the wall
If they really died, there might be no clues
But she would never have imagined that the complete program base, which was almost invisible in the plane era, would appear on the planet
Lorraine is a base that can be upgraded with energy
Even in the era of the great plane, there were few such forward bases other than those important strategic planes
On the way back to the square of san cocomo, a talented merchant from Venice was still peddling treasures from constantinople
The destruction of constantinople by the Osman Turkey empire was perhaps the most painful scene in the history of europe
Three days and three nights of burning and looting, coupled with the long search and control in the future, left this thousand-year-old city in ruins
The" new Rome" of byzantium is the continuation of the civilization of Rome
The skin of the culture has always been one of the most prosperous civilizations in the world
However, when the aboriginals burned and looted the city, not only did they loot all the art treasures of the past dynasties, but also burned down the magnificent buildings
Later, Mohamed ii renamed constantinople Istanbul
Numerous churches were converted into mosques
In this regard, the european world has a sharp pain
The venetians, of course, had fear, indignation, and religious feelings that were hard to conceal, but that did not hinder their pursuit of wealth
Buying back the precious works of art in the hands of the soldiers and generals of Turkey seemed to release their various emotions
Perhaps, it was wealth that released their emotions
Because of the relationship between war and supply and demand, it might have required a picture of 300 Ducat
There was nothing more exciting to the venetians than the fact that only 50 Ducat could buy them now, and they could even exchange only 30 Ducat's food and spices for them
It was now 1455, two years after the fall of constantinople
The threat of the Turkey army was gradually forgotten and replaced by a wave of art price rises starting in Florence, which also led to the price of art in Venice, which made the european market boiling up
As you can see, almost half of the businesses are doing similar or related things
They either sold and bought handicrafts, or traded what the turks needed for them
At most, they did things related to them, just as rising oil prices would drive up the plastic market
The prices of goods related to the Arabia world were not only rising
And it's quite easy to sell - food, wood," wool" textiles and so on
Looking down from the sky at the square of san cocomo, its layout resembled that of a large wholesale market in later generations, with low bungalows or two-story buildings acting in a horizontal and vertical manner as the" color" of the business in their respective functional areas, many of which were just over 100 square meters
Perhaps representing the interests of hundreds of sailing ships in the entire fleet of the east, many merchants here had the financial resources to surprise modern people
Tens of thousands of Florin or Ducat often appeared on the ledgers here, and the ratio of gold coins to gold coins was usually between 1: 6
2 at the end of the 15th century
During this period, because of the financial crisis, the british" government" borrowed only 70,000 pounds from banks in the Italy area
The so-called rich and invincible country was just a common thing in this small city of Venice
Pretending to be an ordinary small businessman, walking quietly on the stone paved square road, the life of the venetians was very fast, at least much faster than that of Nanjing
Huang Xuan was also somewhat infected when he heard about the hundreds of Ducat deals coming from the shops around him
It was like a fifteenth-century futures market
After the nearest rum store, Huang Xuan finally saw a store with a wheat logo named Petro
There were four people standing behind the counter and two people standing further away talking
He touched his face, disguised as a white man, coughed and walked into the shop
A young apprentice immediately came over and asked," sir, what do you need
" The person who runs a shop in Venice city must be an recognized guild member
According to their level, they are divided into manager, master, apprentice or helper
This is a long and strict level sequence, but it is this kind of sequence that guarantees the continuation of production and self-discipline
According to the italian custom, try to be more rigid and stiff, and then use prepared language:" I have a batch of goods to arrive soon, it is food, so I want to sell it to you
"" Are you a member of our guild
" The apprentices did not change their attitude because what huang xuan said was a" batch
" In fact, Venice had always been a country where food was not self-sufficient
They could be said to be true advocates of free commerce: no trade protection, no antitrust
On the other hand, italians have never been so friendly to their customers, such as the phrase" customers are god
" Until the 21st century, italians still sneered
Shaking his head, the manager had already come out
Huang Xuan immediately added," you see, this is my first time in Venice, but I have long admired the venetian credit and am willing to make myself a member of this credit group, so I can ask for payment after the goods arrive, but I need to get a warehouse to store these grains
" Venice's trade system is already quite complete
In Venice city, you can't get a warehouse just because you want it, especially in the busy city waters
The daily transportation here is huge and easy to hide, but most of the warehouses already have owners
Hearing Huang Xuan's words, the manager walked out slowly, stood in front of Huang Xuan and smiled
" I'm Daisite, the manager of this store
" Shrugging his shoulders, he replied," Cosa, you can call me Cosa
My freighter will arrive in three days, maybe later today, so I need to prepare early
" He made a helpless expression
Daisite knew that it was inconvenient for a merchant without a guild to be in Venice
He smiled and asked," how much food do you have
Where do you come from
What type
"" Well, about 20,000 bushels of wheat
I don't know how much it will be used up on the road
You know, it's all from france
" Bushels are a unit of capacity, and one bushel of wheat should be 23
309 kilograms
At that time, the displacement of sailing ships on the sea increased year by year, but the ship type of 200 tons was still relatively small
There were about 600 tons of wheat in 20,000 bushels, which was already a large number
Daisite was obviously very interested
He looked at Huang Xuan for a while, waved to a middle-aged man in his 30s, and said to huang xuan," this is Massimo
He will take you to our warehouse and arrange your accommodation
If your fleet arrives within three days, you can pay for the transaction after the inspection
" Massimo should be a master
He smiled at Huang Xuan kindly and said," Mr
Cosa, please follow me
"" Oh, okay
" Huang Xuan was not used to it
100 bushels cost about six gold Ducat, and 20,000 bushels was 600 King Ducat
It was worth about $ 34,000
Huang Xuan was sure that even in the us Food Corp, no manager could easily complete the 600-ton food deal
Moreover, compared to the productivity of the 15th century, the 600 King Ducat could be regarded as a city-state's budget of about two months
Perhaps this is the confidence that all the wealth in the world is gathered here
