Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Alexander VI looked at Alexander standing in front of him doubtfully. He felt that he could not keep up with the whimsical thought of this young man.

"You mean you want to mint coins?"

"Yes, coins belonging to our free trade zone and the entire business alliance," faced the Pope's doubts, Alexander looked comfortable. "Your Majesty, we all know that coining is a very cost-effective business, but because it requires too much Capital and good enough credit, so it is not a transaction that ordinary people can do. "

"This doesn't need you to teach me," the pope waved a little impatiently. "I just want to know if you know what you are doing. You have to know that your exchange has not been officially established. Who do you think will accept yours?" currency?"

"In fact it's your currency," Alexander corrected softly. Seeing the pope's doubts, he continued. "As I just said, huge capital and good reputation are the guarantee of discovering currency. Exchanges can accumulate wealth. And the credibility of the Holy See can be used as a guarantee, so at this glance, everything is there. "

Alexander's words surprised the Pope, and he didn't expect that he would come to him afterwards.

"Wait a minute, did you propose to issue your currency in the name of the church?" It was then that the Pope realized the purpose of Alexander, which surprised him and was a little curious.

This is because although the church has been in Europe for more than ten centuries, the Holy See has never issued a real currency on its own.

Even in the most glorious pope times, the income of the Holy See was based on the currencies of various other countries. This caused the Vatican Holy See, which had a profound impact on the whole of Europe. There is a wide variety of tithes and contributions from monarchs everywhere.

Even because there is a difference between the secular tax and the Holy Spirit tax in the Holy See, many times even the Cardinal who is responsible for the Holy See ’s finances does not know how much money he had at the time.

Alexander VI remembers very clearly that he used to look at the data of the more than 200 predecessors in the past when he was surprised by the phenomenon that some times are similar but the difference between the rich and the poor is surprising. The explanation he got from the financial cardinal is Because of the complexity of the collection area and the various currency values ​​collected, and sometimes two different taxes or repeated or confusing calculation methods, people at that time could not accurately calculate How much does the church have?

Alexander's proposal moved the pope.

Alexander VI knew that at this moment he really moved.

But the Pope hadn't got a fever because of this idea. He looked at Alexandria, wondering the purpose of his proposal. At the same time, he felt that there was another more important thing to remind Alexandria.

"I have approved the amount to compensate you for your loss in Livorno," Alexander VI looked cold, and he felt really bad when saying these words. "In fact, I didn't lose anything because you were in Few mercenaries from Liwo ’s hard lessons dare to go back to the Vatican, so I completely transfer the remuneration to them to you. "

"I am very grateful to Your Majesty," Alexander did not seem to hear the pope's gorgeous irony. "This money is indeed very useful to me. You may not think I need to use this money to pay to the families of the fallen soldiers."

"I am not interested in how you use the money," Pope interrupted Alexander dissatisfiedly. "I have fulfilled my promise to you. Now I want you to tell me where you sent Caesar. I want to know that he is safe. Yes, there is no abuse. "

Alexander nodded, and he guessed that Pope Ken ’s easy payment was definitely to inquire about Caesar ’s whereabouts. Although it is unlikely that he would release Caesar so easily tomorrow, he would be justified in knowing his situation.

"Your Majesty, I think Caesar should be in Count Modillo ’s territory now, but please forgive me for not knowing exactly where he is," seeing Alexander VI seemed angry, Alexander continued to say "but I can You promise that the count will treat him kindly, and you know that the count and Caesar should be old friends. "

The Pope looked at Alexander silently, and he was a little happy to finally hear about Caesar's whereabouts, but Alexander's words made him realize that it didn't seem so easy to rescue his son.

And the Pope could not help but admit that with the news about the establishment of the exchange, the Romans were falling into an inexplicable excitement.

All of this was triggered by the young people on the opposite side. This idea made Alexander VI feel helpless and angry, because the more he knew, the harder he was to deal with Alexander.

The Pope had a hunch that, after this, he might wait until Caesar was released, and when there was nothing more to threaten him, Alexander probably no longer feared being threatened by him.

Matthews Tiego was really busy during this time. He frequently traveled between Caroling Palace and Marino Palace. Sometimes when it was dark, he struggled to get up from the warm blanket and dress up. Going to the Carolingian Palace, but even when he arrived at his small office, many people were already waiting for him.

And at night, when he dragged his heavy body back to his apartment, the vast majority of people in the city of Rome should have already entered their dreams.

This kind of work is hard and even harmful to the body. Tiego has more than once because the meal is too late, the food is already cold and the stomach is troubled, but in spite of this, Tiego feels a fire burning in his heart.

Who can think of a small businessman who was still living on the sea for more than a year ago, and it took only one year to become a hot figure in the city of Rome. Just think about those who may mention the last name in Balear The aristocratic aristocrat, many people often ask for friendship and find a way to meet him, and this is just to chat with him after meeting, so that he can take a few names.

Tiego feels that his life is complete. Sometimes he even thinks that if one day he climbs into bed and never wakes up again, it is good for him because he has earned enough for his family They have a wealth of money for a lifetime.

However, Thiago soon realized that his idea seemed a little too futile, because what his owner had to do made him understand how naive and pitiful his previous satisfactions were.

A small wood carving nameplate was nailed into the door of a room in the southern wing of the Carolingian Palace by two workers with a hammer. Coincidentally, this place was just when Alexander first came to Rome because he caught someone and passed it. The place where sleepless night.

"Tiego Exchange", this is the name of this place. When I heard that I would use his name to name this exchange, Tiego stayed for a while because of an accident.

Others may only see the wealth that this exchange can bring to them, but Tiego, who has participated in almost every step from the beginning, knows more than anyone what the potential of this exchange is.

Here, what we have will be the pricing power of the entire European market in the future!

If this is just to make Tiago feel that his previous self is so easy to satisfy some too small family, the next thing Alexander will do is really feel his insignificance.

Looking at the insignificant wooden nameplate nailed to the door, Tiego was still somewhat suspicious. Although he didn't mean to question the count, he could not help but ask after asking Alexander to tell him: "But Master, we do n’t have enough gold as a guarantee to issue currency so far. You know that once we start issuing currency, if there is a run, then we simply have no way to deal with it. "

"We don't have it now, but it will be available soon, and that will be the number you can't imagine," Alexander said with a smile. "Before that, all you have to do is stare at Florence."

"I know this. Your friend named James Columbus did a good job in Florence. He has bought the goods they hoarded from the bankrupt Florentines at a very low price, a large part of which is We sold it to them at that time, and the price that Columbus gave to the Florentines was even lower than ours. We have to admit that this person is also cruel. "

After speaking, looking at Alexandria who nodded slightly at the same sympathy with him, Thiago asked a little doubt: "But Columbus, how do I sound familiar with this surname?"

"You should have heard of this person," Alexander smiled and patted Thiegeau's shoulder. "And believe me, you will have many opportunities to deal with people with this surname in the future."

The establishment of the Tirgo Exchange Office in the Carolingian Palace did not attract too many people's attention, because people were attracted to the exchange of the same name that opened in the city of Rome on the same day.

It is also called Tiego Exchange, but this is the real trading venue. Compared with the office in the Carolingian Palace, the people who walk in here are curious and at a loss, because they do n’t know what they are. What to do to truly gain wealth.

Some of the guys temporarily transferred from the Pisa Exchange have become teachers of novices who do n’t know anything. These pizzas who have already been familiar with the road are excitedly commanding the local assistants who are usually impossible to see them. If you do something, it will be scolded if someone does it.

And even those guests with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary identities watched the pizza people whisper in a unique tone, and kept hanging wooden tags with different numbers on the shelves one by one, they couldn't help because they couldn't understand them. The doorways all showed a little awe.

This made the pizzas feel that they had never been so happy, they shouted more vigorously, and the various singing and singing in the hall made the noble and wealthy merchants can't help but apologize for this place.

On November 10, 1497, the Roman Exchange of Alexandria finally opened.

In addition to knowing that big money can be made in this place, at this time, not many people really understand what the birth of this exchange means to Rome, to Europe, or even to the world.

And two days later, a letter from Florence was sent to Alexander.

The letter was sent by James Columbus, who was sent by a young painter named Ronzo Sabbatini.

This young man was obviously curious about Alexander, but what attracted him more was obviously the strange costume of Ruo Sha.

Especially when he accidentally saw Ruo Sha wearing a armor like the legendary ancient Greek goddess Athena, standing there and painted by a young painter, Ronzo Sabbatini immediately forgot What are you doing here?

He walked very warmly to stand behind the young painter and watched carefully. When he gradually showed a strange look, the young painter turned around expressionlessly and looked at this stranger who didn't understand the rules.

"Why, have you stood here for so long, do you have any different opinions on my work?" The young painter asked coldly.

"Oh, no, I'm just excited, because I think you are really good at painting." Ron Zuo was a little overwhelmed. The honest young man from Bologna is obviously not quite suitable for such artists. Harsh and harsh.

"Thank you." The young painter didn't get better because of this compliment, especially after hearing Ron say "but ...", his already rough face was even more ugly.

Ron Zuo obviously did n’t realize that he had offended him. He first glanced secretly and took the cup of drinking water from the maid ’s hand, and then whispered in a curious tone: "This ... Athena, why is it not a spear and a shield, but a musket? "

Michelangelo's face was black at this time. He felt that he was so good-tempered that he didn't directly hit the face of this nasty guy with a brush. It was really rare.

Thinking of the future, people will see his signature on such a bizarre painting, Michelangelo thinks that his reputation will probably be destroyed in this way.

"I didn't take the spear and the shield because they were useless in front of the musket."

Not knowing when she came, Ruo Sha shook her head slightly, so the high feathers on her helmet shook,

Just when Ron left was overwhelmed when he suddenly faced this beautiful girl who had walked in front of him, Michelangelo already said a little helplessly, "Mr. Countess, if you can let me successfully paint your portrait I will be grateful for the background. You have to know that it is almost a week and you can stand in front of the canvas for less than 2 days. "

"That's because I have a lot of things to do," Zuosha said, taking off his helmet and handing it to the servant next to him. "Okay, master, I saw my brother passing by with others. I think he is in need of me now."

Said Ruosha bent over slightly to hold the cloak hanging down to the ground, walked quickly between the two in front of him, and chased to Alexander who had just walked outside the hall?

"Miss Count?" Ron looked at Rusha's back with a little surprise. "I thought she was ..."

"Do you think she may just be a woman of low status," Michelangelo showed a contemptuous look at this young man who was not older than him "just because she was wearing such a weird thing?"

Not waiting for Ron Zuo to admit that Michelangelo had covered the easel with a cloth indignantly while muttering whispered, "This is an ignorant stupid boy from where."

James ’s letter is very short. In addition to a general report on the Florence market, that is, the request to establish an exchange in Florence has not only been approved, but also because of the support of the Sazzi family in Florence, the exchange It opened smoothly on the last day of October a few days ago.

The entire letter looks very ordinary and has no doubtful content, even if it falls into the hands of others, it is just curious about the name of the Sazi family.

In fact, the name of Sazi is still known in Rome, but this is only because the family was involved in the assassination of the Medici brothers during Sistine IV in the early years.

Now that the Medicis have been driven out of Florence, they are wandering around for help, so the surname of Sazi is unlikely to attract much attention in Rome.

So, no matter how you look at it, this is just an ordinary business correspondence.

But Alexander, who received the letter, would not think so.

"Is that Sacchi's influence in Florence great?" Alexander looked at the opposite Tiego. Surprisingly, Mahimo, who had not shown up for a long time, actually went to the Palace of Marino with him.

Mahimo looks fatter than before, perhaps eating better and drinking better. His original thin body now looks a bit tight with the monk robe, and a slightly longer face also appears. With a round jaw, seeing Alexander looking at him, Mahimo nodded.

"I heard that it seems that the man is now the chief of the Florence Finance Department," Mahimo said. "I listened to some friends in Rome."

Alexander nodded with satisfaction. After being recommended to Alexander VI, Mahimo immediately entered a new role.

Today, Mahimo is the leader of a small church. Although it is not large and has not been officially recognized by the Vatican ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, this church has developed rapidly in the middle and lower levels of the Vatican. , Or the secret support of Alexander VI.

And the reason why the pope would like Mahimo ’s small congregation so much is because he repeatedly advocated the "theory of church authority" to let Alexander VI see the possibility of regaining the supremacy of the pope.

"Will this Sazi help us?" Alexander asked, his eyes thrown at Tiego.

"It should be possible. There are messengers from Florence and other places in the Carolingian Palace. From them, you can get a lot of information about Florence. The Florentine life is now very bad. We have shipped a lot before and Columbus followed. The low-cost acquisition has caused many businessmen to lose their jobs, which has also caused many Florentines to lose their jobs. Now many Florentines are dissatisfied with that Savonarola. "

Tiego said with a strange smile.

He sometimes feels that he seems to be more than a businessman or a spy, although what he inquires is actually something that everyone knows, but few people pay attention to, but it also makes him feel mysterious and exciting,

"Florence is the center of Romagna," Alexander looked at the two people on the opposite side. Hearing the door ringing, he looked at Ruosa who came in, watching the golden light of her hanging blond hair against the red cloak behind her. Alexander said to the two people on the opposite side, "It is also the place where all great art is popular. There are countless masterpieces left by countless masters, and I want to leave a masterpiece now," said he extended his hand to Ruosha. "I Let the greatest art master of the world sculpt a statue of her for my sister, and I hope that this statue will one day stand in the Cathedral of Florence in Florence. "

Hearing this, Ruosha was blushing instantly, and the two people on the opposite side were stunned.
