The Rise of the European Emperor

Seeing that several lords were having a good time, Kohler quickly stopped him:

"My lords, although candied ginger slices are delicious, don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will get angry easily!"

Hearing that they would get angry, several lords stopped with unsatisfied intentions. At this time, Baron Detrich of Emmendingen was already sweating. However, he sighed comfortably:

"It's so cool, I suddenly feel warm in my body, and my stomach is very comfortable!" Baron Detrich had a cold stomach. This is because he likes to eat raw and cold things. In the long run, and he is in his 50s, he often suffers from stomach pains. In fact, because Europeans are generally accustomed to eating raw and cold food, and at the same time like to drink cold water, there are not a few people who have cold stomachs in Europeans. Of course, you can't tell it when you are young, but when you are 40 years old, you are prone to stomach pain.

After eating stomach-warming candied ginger slices, Baron Detrich, in his 50s, felt extremely refreshed. Because, his stomach hurts recently and he can't eat anymore. So, he wants to eat another pack...

"Don't!" Kohler quickly stopped the other party's reckless behavior. No matter how good candied ginger slices are, you can't eat too much. Moreover, it is best not to eat in the afternoon and evening. Otherwise, because of the stimulation of the spicy taste and the effect of improving the mind, it will make people unable to fall asleep because of being too high.

Moreover, the candied ginger slices not only made Baron Detrich feel comfortable with a cold stomach, but also made Baron Hull of Stauffen, who had recently lost his appetite, suddenly increase his appetite. Then Lord Hull surprised his squires with a good noon meal.

Then, sugar ginger slices can treat stomach cold, stomach pain and loss of appetite. Without Kohler's propaganda, several lords clearly understood.

"It's really good stuff, give me another 100 packs!" Baron Detrich said vigorously.

"A pack of 4 shillings, thank you for your patronage!" Kohler said with a smile. A pack of candied ginger slices is packed in 250 grams, which is equivalent to half a catty, more than half a pound. This is roughly in line with the price of 8 shillings per pound for dried ginger.

Baron Detrich choked suddenly - it was too expensive...

In fact, Kohler really didn't cheat anyone. It stands to reason that with the addition of sucrose marinating and the packaging in oil paper bags, it should be more expensive. But Marin planned to increase the volume, so he didn't raise the price. Anyway, for him, the cost of candied ginger slices is very low.

But candied ginger slices are too important to Baron Detrich, who has a cold and stomachache, and Baron Hull, who has a poor appetite. The two still gritted their teeth and no one ordered 500 packs, and the cost was deducted from the food that Marin originally planned to pay.

But the next day, several lords ordered all of them. Because, the wife of their family also likes it very much. Moreover, the wives of the lords of three of them have stomach cold problems because they usually like to eat ice cream. After eating the candied ginger slices, the three lords' wives all shouted happily and asked for more. Therefore, several lords can only choose to order.

Speaking of it, the stomach cold of these noble ladies is also related to Marin's promotion of "Haagen-Dazs" ice cream. Marin opened an ice cream branch in Freiburg, attracting frequent visits from the wives of several nearby lords. If I eat too much ice cream, not only my stomach will be cold, but also my palace will be cold. Naturally, I feel refreshed after eating candied ginger slices.

Therefore, Marin's ice cream sales can actually be matched with the sales of candied ginger slices.

When Kohler heard the news, his eyes lit up and he immediately started writing a report-candy ginger slices could be sold in ice cream parlors at the same time.

After all, candied ginger slices are perfect for ice cream lovers. Moreover, there is no need to specifically establish new sales channels. Using the originally popular ice cream sales channel, it can also be quickly promoted...

...

In the past few days, the lords in the Breisgau area have been busy sending troops to gather the 3,000 arrested uprising farmers and their families, and escort them to the port of Breisach on the Rhine for loading.

At the same time, in Kohler's fleet, thousands of soldiers quietly disembarked from the ship that was going to be used to load immigrants at night, divided into several teams, and traveled day and night, quietly rushing to the Northeast of the Principality of Württemberg. This was discussed before, and Marin sent thousands of troops to help Wurttemberg control key areas and prevent the situation from getting out of control.

And the rewards are those farmers who will participate in the peasant uprising and their families... That's a big deal for hundreds of thousands of people!

And Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, also personally rushed from Stuttgart to Freiburg - he wanted to witness this transaction with his own eyes...

Duke Ulrich is a man in debt of 1 million gold coins, and his desire for money far exceeds that of several lords in the Breisgau region. Therefore, he was very concerned about whether the lords could get money worth more than 100,000 gold coins. Because, he was very worried that Marin was making an IOU for nothing. After all, he is the man who needs to pay off his debts...

As for Kohler, he naturally knew the purpose of his visit. So, Kohler took Duke Ulrich to the pier of Breisach, and let him see with his own eyes the soldiers of the North Sea State unloading the mountains of grain from the ship, as well as several big boxes full of gold and silver coins. box.

In order to lure Ulrich's gold coins, Kohler deliberately asked his men to open the box in front of Duke Ulrich, revealing the shiny gold and silver coins inside, almost blinding Duke Ulrich's eyes...

"The deal turned out to be real..." Duke Ulrich muttered to himself.

"Of course it is true. Our Grand Duke keeps his word and is absolutely trustworthy!"

But Duke Ulrich hesitated:

"However, our transaction volume is a bit large. Your grand lord, can you come up with cash worth a million gold coins? I want to pay the money and deliver the goods."

"What? Your Excellency the Duke, didn't we agree to pay for half of the payment with food?" Kohler was taken aback. Because the treasury of Beihai State doesn't have that much cash...

Duke Ulrich spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I can't help it. You know, I owe someone a million gold coins. Whether you want money or food, the creditor has the final say. I discussed with them before, but they only want cash, not food..."

Kohler was full of depression, so he had no choice but to say:

"Okay, I will report this to the Grand Duke. I guess, I have to borrow money..."

These days, millions of gold coins are close to the fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of France for a year. Duke Ulrich can be considered a talent if he can owe so much debt. Think about it, the annual fiscal revenue of later generations of France is as high as 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars... Well, Duke Ulrich is really capable of killing...

Although the financial revenue of this era cannot be compared with the financial revenue of later generations, after all, the level of economic development is too different. However, it is really difficult for ordinary people to owe a debt that is close to the annual fiscal revenue of Europe's largest country.

Moreover, ordinary people owe huge debts because they hire large-scale armies to fight wars. After all, the more troops, the more expenses. For example, Emperor Maximilian I owed huge debts of hundreds of thousands of gold coins because of many wars. Historically, Maximilian I died while avoiding debts in his later years.

However, Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, did not fight any battles during his reign, and was able to owe millions of gold coins in debt. His squandering ability is really too "powerful"...

...

More than ten days later, when all the traded rebel farmers and their families were taken on board, Kohler represented the Grand Duchy of the North Sea and several lords of the Breischgau region, with Duke Ulrich of Württemberg and several nearby Witnessed by the representative of the lord, a joint statement was officially issued——

"In order to severely punish the rebellion against the noble local lord by some mobs in the Breisgau area, Baron Detrich and the other five local lords unanimously decided to exile the 3,000 disobedient farmers and their families who participated in the riot to the wild land……"

"However, considering that there is no barren land in the Breisgau region, several lords specially entrusted Marin, the Grand Duke of the North Sea Kingdom who has the colonial power of the barren continent, to 'exile' these mobs and their families..."

...

Several lord representatives who were sent nearby to testify were dumbfounded—what? Exile can entrust others? What is this operation?

Only Duke Ulrich, who knew about it, was calm - what is this, I want to sell him hundreds of thousands of people, just a few thousand people, small business...

...

Soon, this joint statement quickly spread throughout South Germany under the word of mouth, causing a huge sensation...
