Vol 3 Chapter 30: Sure enough, it's still business
, Update the latest chapter of the dawn of conquering heaven as soon as possible!
What a mood it was to make a sale that could not be said to be a loss, Alexander felt like this now.
Fischer would not be entangled with a few silver Gobi for a pound of superior wheat or a pound of inferior oats, which would naturally be done by the accountants of the Modillos in the Alexandria food team.
In fact, he was really like a broker in this business. After Alexander agreed, he would not talk about these things immediately, but began to show the great treasures and masterpieces of the Italian cities and the masters who created these miracles. Out of admiration, I also lamented that France now lacks these great things.
"Sometimes I am thinking that if masters like Botticelli and Leonardo appear in Paris, not Florence, and the oldest university also appears in Paris instead of Bologna, as for Genoa, it can really take everything away. If these places are all in France, if the places are all in France, the king will be more keen to show his talents on the land of France. "Stroking the delicate floral decoration of the wine glass in front of him, Fischer used unabashed jealous tone to Alexander Say "You have to admit that everything here is enviable. Paris is too desolate compared to the city here. Even if I love the city more, this is indeed an undoubted fact."
Constantine smiled, and he was very honored of Fischer ’s envy, and even a little proud. After all, the old man was not only a friend of his father, but also a scholar who was quite prestigious in France. Admired and respected by the King and the Duke of Orleans, it is an honor to be able to get such a person's appreciation of his hometown, even if it is just a polite.
While Fischer kept praising Italy, Alexander kept watching the master silently.
He could feel that the old man's praise was indeed sincere, and he was full of admiration and envy for Italy's strong artistic atmosphere, but he knew that it was precisely because of this sincere envy that the French always remembered Italy.
So after Charlie's death, the Duke of Orleans not only took his throne and slept his wife, but also firmly inherited his never-ending ambitions for Italy.
Or, this ambition is from now on, at least the master in front of him has a deep influence on his student.
Constantine was also very happy to facilitate such a deal. In his view, the French are the firm backing of the Rovere family, especially at the critical moment when his father is seeking a cardinal. If the French suffer a fiasco, they may not wait The people of the Borgia family started, and the other families in the Vatican might find their trouble.
"The Archbishop is still in Genoa, but I have got the news that he will soon come to Rome in person, after all, it is a critical moment."
When Constantine began to say this, Alexander did not respond much, and then he knew that the so-called archbishop was Giuliano de la Rovere.
Unlike Alexander VI ’s public acknowledgment of his relationship with his children, Loveley apparently did not yet have the courage to admit that he had a group of illegitimate children, so his children could only call him the bishop, and the people of the Pogia family, especially Lukrezi Ya, often proud of the children of Alexander VI.
"So, if this batch of food can be shipped to Lombardy as soon as possible, I mean if it can help our friends as soon as possible, it will be of great benefit to the arrival of the bishop."
Constantine finished looking at Alexander with hopeful eyes. Obviously he hoped to get a response from Alexander as soon as possible.
Only then did Alexander know why Constantine seemed so keen to help the French.
Obviously, this is related to whether Roveray can be promoted to cardinal smoothly.
Looking at Constantine's slightly anticipated look, Alexander suddenly felt a little lost.
Isn't the hardships of food made for others?
Paying the goods first then paying is to sell the future French King a favor.
As Fischer said, because the relationship between the former and the Duke of Orleans was a bit stiff, in order to prevent him from killing him in Italy after becoming Louis XII in the future, Alexander's face is still to be given.
But why did Rovere's family take advantage of this? He didn't owe Rovere's family anything.
With such a thought, Alexander felt a little uncomfortable.
"I think you are going to be disappointed, the food will not be delivered so quickly," Alexander's words surprised both of them. Fischer only had gray eyebrows slightly wrinkled, but Constantine's face sank, but Alexander did Rather ignore them but continue to say "Since the French have been surrounded, is it possible that the coalition will allow such a large amount of food to be delivered to them, as far as I know Gonzalo is a very powerful person."
Constantine was stunned for a while. He certainly could not be clear that Alexander was telling the truth, but whether the French can get rid of the difficulties is related to whether his father can successfully become a cardinal. .
"So what do you think my friend should do?" Fischer asked patiently. The consultant of the Duke of Orleans seemed to have understood what he was doing, so he was not in a hurry and just looked at Alexander. "I think you might have a good way to do it. Help us solve this problem. "
"It's not a good way," Alexander smiled. "I think if the grain can be transported directly to Genoa by merchant ships, and then transported to Lombardy by Genoese merchants, it may be much faster and safer to use the convoy."
Constantine opened his mouth slightly to say that this should have been the case. It can be seen that Fischer made a gesture to let Alexander continue to speak, and he immediately realized that things should not be that simple.
Sure enough, for Alexander, the next thing is the key.
"But you should know that because you haven't paid for this grain, so before sending it to the French, the grain should still belong to me," Alexander said his purpose slowly. And I did n’t carry such an extra freight and taxes for Genoa for these grains. "
"Freights and taxes can be paid by the Rovere's family," Constantine said immediately. He was somewhat contemptuous in his heart, and felt that Alexander was a little too stingy. "You can think of this as a kindness of the Rovere's family."
Alexander looked at Constantine interestingly, at this time he had almost guessed why someone said that he had tried to pursue Lucrezia but was rejected by the Borgia family.
"I think there must be something else," Fischer was obviously more calm than Constantine, or that he had a better understanding of Alexandria after those in Sicily. "Please state your conditions."
"That's it, I hope to establish a relationship with Genoa," Alexander felt almost the same, and finally threw out his purpose. "Accurately speaking, it is the port of Genoa. I hope Naples can form an alliance with Genoa. Of course, this is only a business. Alliance, so we do n’t have to have any other concerns. "
"What kind of alliance are you talking about?" Constantine frowned slightly. "I have to declare that I have no right to sign any treaty, and I don't think you have the power to sign any treaty in place of Naples."
"In fact, all I'm talking about is a treaty between my territory and the Chamber of Commerce in Naples and the local terminal business association in Genoa. It is a truly pure commercial treaty," Alexander's skeptical eyes on Constantine seemed to disappear. I have talked to the Taranto people and they are willing to join me in this project. "
Speaking of which, Alexander smiled slightly to Constantine: "I hope to sign an agreement that is beneficial to our Tripartite Chamber of Commerce. I call it the" Free Trade Agreement "."
Constantine looked at Alexander cautiously, but when he heard Alexander talk about the free trade plan, the young knight's face began to show doubts and confusion.
With Alexander's description, Fischer's old face slowly revealed dignified contemplation.
Gradually, a little dignity appeared between his expressions, and the fingers that were originally placed on the table unconsciously and gently tapped could not help but gradually slow down.
"Do you want your businessmen to be exempt from taxes at the terminal in Genoa?"
"Genoa businessmen can also enjoy this treatment in Naples and Taranto."
"Also be able to store free-flowing cargo in the vicinity of the port without paying the shipping tax?"
"This will allow us all to make much more profits than before. As far as I know, the Chamber of Commerce of Rovere's family will spend a lot of money each year just to pay this shipping tax."
"And that ..."
Constantine kept asking about the inexplicable terms proposed by Alexander, until finally he finally asked the strangest question:
"Tell me who taught you this, Count Modillo?"
"No, it ’s all my own thinking, and believe me, there will be many places that will agree to join my treaty soon, so think about it, and wait until someone else ’s merchandise in the future will be swarmed When crowding out the Genoese business, what do you think the Chamber of Commerce of Rovere should do? "
Looking at Constantine's strange expression on his face after hearing this, Alexander smiled slightly.
It was night when Alexander came out of Constantine ’s villa.
Down from the high hills, you can see the city dazzled by the lights.
The night in the city of Rome is undoubtedly very beautiful, especially when the city is wrapped in a white world, the whole city is like the beautiful fairyland in ancient fairy tales.
However, Alexander knew that this was purely an appearance, and what was covered under those white beauty was all depraved and decayed things, probably even the Romans themselves could not tell.
At least he knocked Rovere's house unremarkably in this seemingly relative relationship.
According to the conditions he finally put forward, the Loviré family needs to agree to the free trade agreement he proposed, before he agrees to use the Loviret family's fleet to transport those grains to Genoa, otherwise he would rather let the grain transportation team go all the way to Lombardy.
Neither Fischer nor Constantine would have promised Alexander to do so.
Not to mention whether it is too late to delay this way, even if everything goes well, as Alexander said before, how to give food to the French who have been surrounded by coalition forces is also a big problem.
But if they were transported by the Genoese, it would be different. Because of their intricate relationship with the two sides, the Genoese were sure to complete this seemingly difficult task.
It was just that Alexander ’s almost stubborn insistence annoyed Constantine. He could not think that this illegitimate child who Mododi did not know from which backcountry was not only stubborn, even boldly threatened them with this matter.
Constantine was annoyed that although he knew that this was a threat, he had to take it seriously because it was related to his father's success on the cardinal throne, and he didn't even dare to anger the pressure.
"Perhaps the young master has regretted calling me brother or brother, or he just killed me.
Sitting in the carriage, Alexander whispered to himself. Of course he knew that Constantine must hate him at this time, but he did not care, because he knew that the French should be more anxious than him.
The same is true. When seeing Constantine seems to be about to erupt because of anger, Fischer stopped the conflict that may occur in time. He excused wanting to see the snow scene of the villa garden to take Constantine out.
Then after a long time, the two talents returned to the room.
Alexander still remembers Constantine's gloomy face and the dissatisfied look when looking at him, which makes him more convinced of this relationship with his cousin. Most of the time, it is actually a bit unreliable ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The suggestions are related to the interests of all Genoese merchants, and I cannot agree to the conditions you put forward. "
Constantine said this very resolutely first, and then paid attention to Alexander ’s look. Obviously he hoped to see disappointment, frustration or anger from Alexander ’s face, so that he could know how big these conditions were for Alexander. Weight, which is very important for what he should say next.
Unfortunately, Alexander just looked at him seriously, completely knowing that he must have the expression below.
This made Constantine angry and helpless, but considering his father's coveted cardinal seat, Constantine decided to calm himself down.
"But I can pass on your condition to someone who can make a decision." I don't know if it is an illusion. Alexander feels that Constantine's voice sounds a bit difficult. "You can talk to her about this proposal."
"She?" Alexander asked strangely.
"She," Constantine showed a helpless look. "My sister, Valentina Della Rovere."
