Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 6 Chapter 53: Buccini bets
The King of Naples, Alfred I, ascended the throne in the turmoil of the Kingdom of Naples.
There is no grand enthronement ceremony, nor a coronation ceremony that will be officially held half a year later in accordance with custom. The process for the king to wear the crown is simple, but the queen ’s coronation is slightly more solemn.
This is because it was the king himself who put the crown on the queen, and Alfred suddenly showed a very stubborn attitude, insisting on wearing a crown for his wife in a formal and grand manner.
So Ruosha knelt down in front of Alfred, humbled her head humbly, making her slender neck look more beautiful, and at the same time her jaw lightly touched her chest. This pose made Alfred, who was holding the crown, a little bit lost. .
"I give you the crown in my hand with the power God has given me, and my wife will share all my power, territory, and dignity with me." Alfred said carefully wearing the crown in the ruins On Shasha ’s head, Alfred, who began to sweat coldly due to shortness of breath when meeting with Shaosha ’s gaze that raised her head, suddenly said in a very low voice: “I hope I can become worthy of you one day s husband."
Ruosha's eyes narrowed slightly, and she saw a rare firmness in Alfred's eyes, which made her a little surprised,
The coronation ceremony is simple but very grand, and the hurried process gives a faint gloom.
There is already an unproven message in the city of Naples, but many people already know the truth, that is, the king has decided to leave Naples after the coronation ceremony.
Four kings were changed in five years, and two of them actually gave up the country and fled far.
This makes even the Naples, who are known for their optimism, feel unacceptable.
What makes the Naples more concerned is that there is news that the chamber of commerce in the free trade zone will also leave Naples temporarily. Compared with this news, the king's escape is less important.
As Joseph Buccini imagined, Naples may not be the most profitable place in the free trade zone, but it is definitely the place that is most affected by this trade union. It can be said that everyone in every corner of the city consciously or unconsciously has all kinds of inseparable relations with this trade union. Now the FTA has news that it will withdraw from Naples, which makes the Neapolitan people start to feel uneasy.
The Neapolitans ca n’t imagine what it would be like without those free trade zones. They ’re used to buying goods that are cheaper than elsewhere, and they ’re used to buying their own goods, even if the price is relatively low, they can still rely on free trade. The tax exemption agreements in the region receive sufficient returns, and more importantly, when they compete with other chambers of commerce in non-free trade zones, they can get strong support from other allies in the alliance, and sometimes they can even use their prices together. Or downgrade together to drive competitors out of a port or a city.
Such opportunities made them more and more in need and rely on the FTA alliance, but now the French are coming, and with the departure of the king, the FTA alliance seems to also withdraw from Naples, which makes many people seem to have seen The beginning of the decline of Naples.
Joseph Buccini clearly felt the change of the Neapolitans. He found that his little trader who had just taken over from other Jews suddenly deserted a lot, and no one rushed in with confidence to borrow money. You should know that according to the accounts left by the former governor of the Chamber of Commerce, the Jews here have issued a lot more usury than other places, and what surprised him is that the Naples seem to be very similar to those in other cities. The taboo habits are different. They are very willing to participate in such high-risk economic activities. From the perspective of accounts, the repayment rate of the debts released is very high, and it becomes a case of dead debts due to the borrower ’s operational errors. Compared with other cities, it is much lower.
Buccini doesn't think that this is God's favor with the merchants in this city. If he had to explain this, it would be God's favor with someone in Naples.
Precisely speaking, now Queen of Naples, Ruosha Cosenza.
Buccini looked at the black line all the way down on his account book, and his face was black and listless.
He found that his business has been declining rapidly in the past few days. When he took over, the excitement of thinking that Jane is all over gold is gone. The worst thing is that every businessman he met was also listless, people After meeting, they often chatted a few words, and then began to cautiously inquire about when the king left and when the Chamber of Free Trade Zone evacuated Naples, and even if there was no actual result, people still used to sigh each other, and then Some frustrated hat-pulling off.
Buccini knew that the confidence of the Neapolitans was shaken, or that they were confused about what the future would become. They no longer dared to rely on borrowing abundant funds to earn more profits, but began to tighten their hands cautiously. Money bag.
Buccini felt the need to see the queen again. Although this requirement may become more difficult as the identity of Ruo Sha changes, the Jews are still confident.
"Dear Your Majesty, I am willing to offer you some of my financial expertise, as I promised you before, and if I can, I can provide you with a service that is insignificant but loyal enough." It was written so humbly in the petition that Ruosha requested to see, and then he seemed to feel that it was not too convincing, so he added the sentence "Also honorable sire, please allow me to report to you, we It also has a very close relationship with the Grand Duke Alexandra of Wallachia. The high amount of money we provided to the Grand Duke was appreciated by the Grand Duke, and we think that you and Alexandra The intimate relationship of the Grand Duke of Las Vegas has every right to obtain the same credit and support from us. "
After completing this application, Buccini carefully reviewed it. After confirming that he could not find anything wrong with the words, he sent someone to send the application to the palace.
It was just that he never imagined that when she saw the original application, Ruosha immediately changed her mind after seeing the last paragraph.
"Does the Jew think that the bohemian girl is more worth investing?"
Russa showed Buccini ’s letter to Alexander, who was sitting at the opposite desk, and now both of them were working in a room. The immigration that Naples was about to become became the most important thing now, piled up. Work kept them from even having time to eat.
"The Jews think that they can get more opportunities in Wallachia," Alexander is quite familiar with the Jewish mind. In fact, they have already tried to gradually influence the Vatican through the Sicilian Bishop Alfonso, but it is very Fortunately, Alexander destroyed their good deeds. "They are willing to pay for Sophia. I don't think it's bad."
"But they are Jewish," Zuosha seemed a little angry to stand up. She walked around the room twice before stopping, and then her eyes fell on Alexander's face. "The Jewish man had found me, I can see that his ambition is not small. "
"The Jews have always been ambitious," Alexander agreed with Rusha's judgment, but he did not intend to tell her that one day the Jews might become one of the most influential people in the world. "So what are you going to do?"
"Do you think I should promise to meet this Jew?" Ruosha stared at Alexandria, and when he saw him silent, she reached out and gently touched the cheek of Alexandria. "I think I know what you think." Well, although this is not what I want to see, I will be your most trusted sister. "
Rosa's words moved Alexander a little. He grabbed Rosa's hand and kissed her on the back of her hand, then suddenly asked, "Do you still give Alfred that medicine?"
Luo Sha froze, then nodded.
"Am I a very vicious wife?" Luo Sha asked.
"It's a vicious wife."
The words on Alexander's face suddenly changed with Alexander's words.
"But it's a lovely sister," Alexander continued, and then he looked seriously at Luo Sha's face. "So tell me, do you feel guilty?"
Ruosha froze for a moment, then pondered, and finally nodded.
"If you don't feel guilty, then I would think that you are really a vicious person." Alexander smiled softly, and he was very satisfied with Rusha's reaction. He was also expected. "This is indeed a very bad thing, after all. Alfred loves you, which seems a bit excessive. "
Ruosha sideways thought about it, and then said: "No, I just think that Alfred is a little stupid, rather than pity him, because since he is a king, he should be prepared to face this ending. And speaking of their father and son, the throne was also taken from Ferdinand. Frederick had bought a lot of people and took the throne from Alfonso of Billy Shelley. Now they are only facing the same fate. Never mind. "
Alexandria listened to Ruosha's words, but his heart flashed the focus of Alfred's gaze when he was staring at Ruosha when he was crowned.
He could n’t help acknowledging that Alfred ’s love for Zuosha was sincere and dedicated, especially since the latter seemed commendable. He even once suspected that Alfred actually liked men because he had never heard of Alfred. What happened between De and any woman, it seems that he has no interest in any other woman except Zuosha.
At this point, Alexander is ashamed. He admits that he is obsessed with the beauty of Lucrezia and Sophia ’s body, and Ruosha also makes him have a kind of almost obsessive nostalgia. As for Barendi, Alexander admits to her more It is more of a responsibility and an obligation. Perhaps Barendi's almost stubborn attitude of keeping his duty makes him helpless, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that he also has a stubborn attachment to obtaining Barendi's love.
Buccini was finally summoned by the queen. Although he did not know what kind of twists and turns there were, but the savvy Jew immediately smelled something wrong after seeing Rusha, and he immediately became cautious, At the same time, he was wondering what was going on to make the queen seem to be dissatisfied with him.
"Do you say you can provide Naples with a loan based on the same credit as Wallachia?"
Hearing Rusa ’s words, Buccini ’s thoughts suddenly flashed, and he realized that he might have made a big mistake before. Obviously, it seemed that the queen was compared with the female Grand Duke of Wallachia. The behavior annoyed the new queen, which made the Jews secretly annoyed by his previous stupid behavior. At the same time, he answered in response, and quickly wondered how to remedy this bad mistake.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to take the liberty to correct it," Buccini seemed a little shy. "I think it is not the Kingdom of Naples who can get our financial help. In fact, the kingdom's credit is almost bankrupt, and the first king owes it. A total of 140,000 Florin ’s debts, although this money is not small, it should never be a burden for a rich kingdom like Naples, but the actual situation is that this money should be borne by your mother ’s family, or you Instead of repayment, we are all very clear about it, so it can be said that if it is just Naples, then this kingdom can no longer afford any debt. "
Ruosha noticed that the Jews said a deliberately increased tone when they said ‘Just’. She knew that Buccini was actually implying that if it was only Naples of the Trastamara family, it would not be able to repay that huge amount of arrears.
The Jewish words aroused Rusha ’s interest, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at a closed door, and then looked at the Jewish people and continued to ask: "So why do you think I can still get your support, according to our Knowing that the funding you mentioned should have a very different meaning from Frederick ’s transaction, tell me why do you think I will trust you? "
Buccini hesitated. He knew that the real key was now. Whether he could get the queen, and then her brother who seemed to be ambitious, was in this move.
Buccini will decide in Venice to decide to make such a big bet on Sophia, the key is to guess Alexander.
The children of the Grand Duke of Wallachia will probably be the first cornerstone of this huge kingdom that the count has begun to believe that few people seem to believe today, but think about another person with the same identity as the future children of the Grand Duke A distinguished child, Buccini seems to see a new world that others have not yet discovered.
But even if Sophia made a huge bet, Buccini still felt that he was not clear enough about the count, until he came to Naples, where all these origins came from. Buccini believed that he had found a key person who could really impress the count .
"We can provide you not only with money, but also with the information we have. You should know that an accurate intelligence is enough for a military to win a critical victory, and it can also give a businessman enough to enjoy endless life. Wealth, but I ’m not talking about intelligence, but the way through which we get these precious intelligences. ”Speaking of this, Buccini hesitated a little and then determined to say,“ If you can trust us, we can gain important information over the years. The sources of the news are dedicated to you, and all we ask is an opportunity to serve you or your loved ones in the future career. "
Hearing Buccini's old words again, Ruo Sha's eyes were instantly focused on his face.
Buccini waited quietly. He knew that his chip was not important, but his asking price was also very clever.
"a chance?"
"An opportunity." Buccini nodded without hesitation. He knew that he must act resolutely and decisively at this time, otherwise he would be hesitant. Regardless of the result of the last talk, the queen and her family may be They have stereotypes.
At this point, it seemed to be blocked at once, neither side continued to say anything, and the room was quiet for a while.
After a while, Luo Sha asked slowly: "How do you make me believe your words?"
Buccini was silent. He knew that it was bound to come to this step, but there were too many people affected by this decision, which made it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
"Perhaps you should go back and think about it, and then reply to me." Ruosha said coldly, but her heart was somewhat puzzled at this time, because she didn't understand why Alexander wanted her to be so tough and ask the Jews to make something. Kind of guarantee, and what kind of guarantee can prove this kind of promise?
Ruosha's cold expression stimulated Buccini. He was still hesitant. He thought a little and asked for permission from Ruosha first, then opened the document bag that he carried with him, and took out a very folded one from the inside. Yan Shi paper, he carefully put this paper on the table in front of Ruo Sha, and then backed away a few steps.
"Your Majesty, if our agreement is reached, this will be our guarantee. I believe that your brother Count Montina can prove our sincerity." Buccini bowed to Lao Sha "Please allow you to quit I will wait for your order in my chamber of commerce. "
Ruosha was a little curious, but she did n’t open the paper, but when she looked at the Jews, she seemed to have a calmer expression and calmer than when she came in. Yes, and the Jews knew it.
This made Rusha a little unhappy. She felt that she should be the one who knew Alexander the most, but the appearance of the Jew now seemed to indicate that Alexander had something she didn't know about.
Just as Ruosha looked at the paper with confusion, the closed door opened.
Alexander came to the table, picked up the paper and opened it casually, then smiled slightly.
He raised his head, just to see Ruosha's seemingly unscrupulous glance. Alexander first put on the paper to collect it, and saw that Lusha's quill pen was slightly deformed. , Then handed the paper to Ruosha.
"Go tell the Jew, I promised his condition," Alexander said with a smile on his face, but then the smile on his face slowly disappeared. "Now the first thing he has to do is help us win Billy Shelly. . "
Listening to Alexander's words, Ruosha's eyes fell on the piece of paper curiously, and then she whispered, "Triple Crown!"
