Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 7 Chapter 54: James's business

The latest website: Forehead Caroline looked angrily at the two people standing in front of him. This was sent to monitor the Duke of Rome Tesia, but now the two people have not only a swollen nose, but also one of them has been hit with eyes. Swollen into a seam, not only that, but their clothes were stripped. When they were found, the two men were lying naked in front of the official residence of the governor.

Caroline felt insulted, and it was indeed an insult. Obviously, the Roman Duke of Trasia did not have any respect for the Andalusian ruler.

"Okay, you guys have taken care of him," Caroline said, looking at the two men unkindly. As the master of Sevilla, his people were severely taught by a foreign nobleman, which made Caroline very Unhappy, and what makes him even more dissatisfied is that the other party is clearly aware of his actions. The two men said that they were caught by the other party ’s person without monitoring for a long time outside the house of the Duke of Rome Tecsia. It ’s been known from the beginning that they are watching. “Tell me, have you seen the Duke?”

"Yes," one of the men whose mouths were beaten equally murmured, "The duke told us to tell you that he will bring you the person you want to meet, but he hopes this is the last time Send someone to watch him, otherwise ... "

"Otherwise, he will not send you naked men, but only human heads."

Another person glanced at Carole with a fearful expression, and they knew how ruthless the ruling officer, who looked fat and always smiling, except the civilians, even the little nobles felt from his heart Fear, now that the nobleman who doesn't know where he came from has so humiliated him, it is obviously impossible for the consul to give up.

Caroline's fat cheeks twitched, and the arrogance of the Duke of Rometsia made him unbelievable. He even thought that he should send troops directly to capture the Duke.

But he finally curbed this crazy idea. As long as he recalled carefully, he would find that the Duke of Rome Tesia never showed any signs of being a fellow with Don Bavi. He just said that Don Bavi felt threatened. He went into hiding, even if he could say it was just a personal grudge between Caroline and Don Bavi, even if everyone knew who Caroline was doing for, but Isabella was in this matter Obviously, he wo n’t stand up to support his favor. At least until Isabella ’s biggest obstacle is completely eliminated, and then he can reach unscrupulously into the territory of those big nobles, Isabella ca n’t stand up. Do this at the risk of the opposite of all nobles.

"Find Don Bavey," Caroline, who had been silent, suddenly commanded the people next to him "He didn't want this to be an excuse in the hands of the queen, then he had to follow our method. Find him, and then I I do n’t want to see him again. "

"Sir, you want ..."

"He is missing, which is better, so he may be too unfortunate if he encounters a robber. Think about it, wasn't it unexpected that Duke Buharan was killed by several robbers who robbed him? "Carole said something, then suddenly frowned." But you have to find him first, send enough manpower, be quick, and remember that I don't want to hear bad news again. "

The men nodded silently and backed away. Obviously the consul was very angry at this time, and it was precisely because of this that such orders were issued.

The relationship between Isabella and Don Bavi has always been complicated.

As someone who once stood up to support her when she was the most difficult, Don Bavi was arguably the biggest hero in the Isabella Dynasty, but was also regarded as the biggest obstacle, and Don Bavi was also Isabella La tried to unify the whole of Castilla, and then laid the first goal for the establishment of a unified kingdom with Aragon in the future.

This is destined to see that there is no relief between the two.

Even beginning many years ago, Don Bavi had already guessed such a result, and now all this is just an eruption after the contradiction between the two parties has accumulated over the years.

"Civil war, a civil war." Carole whispered to himself, he knew what the consequences of his decision would be, and he didn't do it just because of Alexander's insult to him, he was worried It's true that Don Bavi will really dedicate his fief to the Vatican.

Carole knew that this was absolutely unacceptable. The Queen could not have wanted to see this situation. In this way, his only way was to find him before Don Barvey publicly announced the decision, and kill him if necessary!

Otherwise, as he said, a civil war might break out.

At this time, Carole regretted that he did not mention the Duke of Roman Tesia in the letter when he reported to the Queen. Now it seems that this person may become Alexander VI even if he does not collude with Don Bavi. Castilla's accomplice.

"This is Castile, this is not a peaceful place." Caroline muttered in his mouth while letting the servant put on a thick coat for him.

James was sitting on a large wine barrel, his legs swaying back and forth slowly, and a dull rumbling sound was made from the barrel under his heel.

These wine barrels are filled with rum. This kind of wine fermented with sugar cane has become a must-have for many sailors when they go to sea, because of the situation in Crete, the largest sucrose producer in Europe. , Whether it is sugar or rum prices are constantly rising.

The Venetians have completely withdrawn from Kithira, and now their fleet has rarely crossed the boundary of the Ionian Islands, which means that they have completely abandoned those colonies on the Mediterranean, although there are still some Venice People stubbornly adhered to some of the fortresses of Crete, but it is clear that the Mediterranean colony completely ruled by Venice is now gone.

Because of this, Crete is now a very strange place. In addition to the locals on the island, there are a few strongholds occupied by the Venetians on the west side of the island, and some islands not far from the east of the island In the past, the Ottomans also built some semi-permanent bridgeheads, and the Ottoman navy can land from any place in Crete at any time.

But I do n’t know what kind of idea it is. The Ottomans do not seem to be eager to enjoy this delicious food that has been fully presented to them. Their fleet often passes by near the Crete, sometimes close enough. Go ashore with a boat.

But they didn't do it in the end, and Ottoman's fleet seemed not so interested in chasing into the Adriatic Sea, which gave another force on the island a rare time.

In addition to the Aborigines on Crete, the largest population is not the Venetians, nor the Ottomans who are exploring the defense of Crete, but the Cretan plantations that began to appear more than two years ago, and by these A civilian army built by the workers of the plantation.

The workers recruited by Ruosha from all over Europe spoke different languages ​​and followed different customs to come to Crete. The vast majority of these people are bachelors who have lost their homes and land, which is destined to these people No more concerns.

After they were assigned to the plantations, they were responsible for protecting these plantations while working, which also made many people feel the spears and muskets for the first time.

The protection team of the Cretan plantation was born. The arrival of these people halted the continued decline in sucrose production caused by the large number of people who were worried about the war and the loss of people. In addition to large profits, as the production of sucrose gradually stabilized, the brewing of rum created another profitable good.

However, all of this is based on the nearly continuous flow of labor from Europe to Crete, which has gradually formed a small industry. Many people know that although the life is bitter in Crete, but To make money, when the farmers have gradually lost their land due to successive years of poor harvest, and the city cannot accommodate so many people who have lost land, it seems that going to Crete has become a good choice.

It ’s just that even those who made a lot of money by conveying labor did not know that most of the people who were sent to the Cretan plantation did stay behind and became workers in the plantation, while some were sent to other places. .

A place far away from Crete, or even away from continental Europe.

The sound of the barrel beneath him, James was thinking about his own things.

Alexander's promise made his heart inevitably irritable.

Although the adventure at sea made him taste a lot of sweetness, he knew he could not be a pirate forever.

James hopes that he can become a greater navigator than his brother Christopher Columbus, and now an opportunity is before him.

To be a navy general, not a pirate, is indeed full of temptations.

Even James remembered the conditions that Christopher had asked Isabella to obtain the title of nobility before exploring the Atlantic.

The Columbus family is not a celebrity in Genoa. It has always been a strong desire of the family to be among the nobles, but it is not so easy in Genoa.

In pursuit of wealth and the desire to become a noble, Christopher Columbus pinned his hopes on the exploration of new routes, but now with Isabella's attitude towards him, things have obviously changed.

James felt that he was probably the only hope for the Columbus family. Christopher's life is very difficult now, but he is now facing a huge opportunity.

James couldn't help but think of the wonderful prospect Alexander described to him, which made him finally make a decision after hesitating for a long time.

"Let's go in," James jumped from the barrel. He beat the boots on his feet with the whip in his hand, which was a little tidied up. Then he took his men to the merchant exchange.

In the merchant exchange, three to five groups of merchants are fiercely debated and bargaining, and the importance of the new continent has gradually emerged here.

Various exotic treasures and novel plant seeds shipped from the new colony to the European continent have attracted the attention of too many people, but there are many people who really know the value of these things, but this is enough to make those businessmen because of the amazing profits. This kind of trading is rushing.

When James walked into the exchange, although someone looked at him curiously, maybe it was because he didn't look like a businessman, so no one greeted him.

For those who have been in and out of this exchange all year round, many people have developed a pair of eyes that can look at people. They know who has money in their hands and who is bluffing. For the brokers who think of the white wolf with empty gloves Merchants, the servants here are very polite, they will throw people directly from the window to the garbage dump on the street, or even in the stinking ditch. For the people of the merchant exchange, the tradition here is sacred and Inviolable, even the Archons must follow the ancient rules after entering this door.

James looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a few people who appeared to be well-dressed.

James will see those people not because they look like rich people, but because they know them.

"Who is the richest man in Savilla? Now I can say a few names casually." James looked at the few men and said to them, then walked towards them.

"Is there anything you have?" A servant suddenly came over and stood in front of James. "If you want to discuss business with my master, you can wait a little bit."

Looking at the servant, James didn't speak, but pulled the musket directly from his belt and fired a shot against his chest!

The deafening gunshots instantly alarmed everyone. After a short period of stun, the exchange instantly exclaimed. The merchants were frightened and fled. Some people crowded and ran to the gate. When they found out that they did not know when The door was tightly closed, and there were a few big guys who did n’t look like good people, and people immediately fled and fled, some hiding in a place where they could hide, and some ran towards the open window, Prepare to jump out of the window to escape.

"That's why I don't like businessmen. I always think of avoiding responsibilities. When I make money, I always think of paying the price." James muttered slowly and refilled his gun with ammunition. Then he raised his gun and aimed at a businessman who had finally got rid of the crowd ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and clumsily struck one leg out of the window sill and pulled the gun.

"Bang ~"

With a gunshot, the businessman seemed to have been smashed by an invisible fist and planted it out of the window sill. Listening to the muffled sound of heavy objects falling outside, James looked helplessly and smoked Muzzle, then skimmed his mouth.

"I was just trying to persuade him not to do stupid things," James said regretfully "but it seems that the ammunition is loaded a bit too much."

The merchants were frightened by the sudden and brutal robber. No one dared to climb the window sill that seemed to be easily overturned. Everyone looked at this terrible person who did not know where it came from. .

"I think you must be scared, but don't worry," James pulled the sword in his waist with the musket in one hand, and after striking the jaws of two panicked businessmen in front of his eyes with a sharp blade, he asked these people A self-proclaimed and amiable smile appeared. "Actually, I'm here to discuss business with you."
