The Rise of the European Emperor

Exile can still entrust the help of other monarchs? Isn't this a joke? The nearby princes who heard the news gathered first to discuss this issue. Many princes who are hostile to Marin think that this is not "exile on behalf of" it is clearly human trafficking. Moreover, the traffickers were Catholics.

As a result, some princes prepared to jointly write to the Holy See to accuse the Grand Duke Marin of the Beihai Kingdom for "trafficking in human beings". This is contrary to the regulations of the Holy See and should be expelled...

However, who is Marin? Son-in-law of the Pope! How could he be unprepared? Just a few days after the joint statement was issued, the Holy See's instructions came down-allowing the North Sea country to exile mobs from other countries on its behalf. At the same time, it is especially emphasized that it is illegal to try to harm nobles, and being exiled is what you deserve. But at the same time, the Holy See also said that if it is not necessary, it is best not to massacre the people. If there is a rebellion, try to kill only the culprit, and exile the followers at most...

As soon as this instruction came out, the many princes of Germany suddenly had nothing to say. After all, the Holy See, which has the most right to manage this matter, doesn't care, so what qualifications do they have? However, some princes proposed that they hoped to supervise the exile, so as to prevent the North Sea State from enriching the population that should have been exiled to the North Sea State to strengthen its strength.

And Marin was also very well-behaved, and quickly announced publicly that none of these "mobs" and their families would stay in the country, and all of them would be sent to America... Ah no, it was a wild continent. Moreover, he welcomes representatives from various countries to the port of Emden to supervise the boarding of the exiled "mobs"...

At the same time, he explained to other countries that the natives of the wild continent were too fierce, and the people of the North Sea country would not go to that dangerous place, so they had to find these mobs who dared to resist the lord... , just sent to fight for the territory with the savages...

Then, for each representative of each country who came to ask questions, Marin gave a free copy of "Out of the Amazon" that had just been written. What he meant was obvious—look, the Wild Continent is so dangerous, it wouldn't be a good thing for me to send them there... What? You say I use these exiles to cultivate fertile soil? Then they must all survive...

Through a series of diplomatic activities and book donations, doubts were gradually subsided. Moreover, this highly realistic "Straight Out of the Amazon" has set off a wave of enthusiasm in Germany. This book told the Germans a "reason" - "the outside world is really dangerous"!

"It seems that this exile is really a terrible punishment!" Many nobles thought to themselves after reading this book. And, the book's 21 survivors publicly swear in the name of God—their stories are all true. …

In this way, readers cannot help but believe it. After all, no one dares to lie in the name of God these days. It's just that they didn't know that these 21 people only went to the most dangerous area in the American continent. Although I'm not lying, the situation in the Amazon region does not represent the whole of America...

In order to enhance persuasion, Marin also sent these 21 people to public platforms in big cities such as Hamburg and Lübeck to sign and sell books. And, I swear publicly again and again-I have never lied.

Of course, when someone asked them about the situation in places other than the Amazon forest, the 21 people all answered in a vague tone such as "I have never been there, I don't know", or "It probably looks like this". In this way, it is not considered a breach of the oath. Anyway, they swear that their experiences are true, and they didn’t swear that America is so dangerous...

...

Regardless of how the book sales team fooled everyone, Marin was also worried at this time...

Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, demanded all payment in cash, which made Marin difficult. Because the cash flow of the Beihai state treasury is a bit lacking.

If Duke Ulrich is willing to accept the copper coins issued by the North Sea State, then there is no problem, and the amount of 1 million Gulden gold coins can still be made up.

But the problem is that the copper coins issued by the North Sea State are not recognized by other German states, only gold coins and silver coins are recognized, which makes Marin feel worried.

Now, Marin only has gold and silver coins worth 500,000 to 600,000 Gulden gold coins, and the cash gap is close to half. However, it is already April. It is foreseeable that once the spring plowing is over, Duke Ulrich's side should start. If he can't come up with 1 million cash at that time, the transaction may be delayed. If Duke Ulrich changes his mind at that time, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, Marin hopes to collect the money as soon as possible to complete the transaction, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

For a moment, Marin wanted to lead the army to rob the Aztec Empire in Mexico to get enough gold and silver. However, Marin calculated, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to go back and forth. Counting the war time to conquer the Aztec Empire, it is estimated to be longer, and it is too late.

Moreover, once he robs a large amount of gold and silver from the Aztec Empire, it is easy to alarm other European countries. Before the development of large battleships and Pexan cannons, he'd better not be like this...

So, he thought of borrowing money...

In this era, although most nobles in Europe are poor, there are still many rich people. For example, the great Hanseatic merchants of the Hanseatic League in Germany. Also, the economic oligarchs in southern Germany. For example, the Gehr family, the richest man in Germany. In addition, there are economic centers such as Venice and Florence in Italy.

Originally, the Siena Bank under Marin's name could afford the money. But unfortunately, the Bank of Siena gave Maximilian I a loan of 300,000 last year. Coupled with several other large loans, and long-term loans, Siena Bank lacked cash flow. Therefore, Marin, who was originally a banker, can only borrow money from others.

At the beginning, Marin considered the big merchants of the Hanseatic League as political allies. However, after a little contact, Marin gave up.

why? Because the bankers of the Hanseatic League put forward a request to enter the North Sea country to do business. But the business within Beihai Country is now monopolized by the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, so Marin is not very happy. It's not that he is reluctant to part with the profits of business, but that he is worried that the Hanseatic merchants who go deep into the inland cities of the North Sea will investigate agricultural secrets. After all, it is a bit difficult for them to take root in Beihai and keep their agricultural technology secret. Therefore, in order to keep it secret, Marin had no choice but to reject the requests of those Hanseatic businessmen who proposed to enter the interior of Beihai. His opinion was the same as always - want to do business? It is only allowed to enter a few ports such as Emden Port, and it is not allowed to go deep into the inland area...

Then, Marin could only choose the Fugger family or Venice in Italy...

But Marin was afraid that Venetian merchants like the Hanseatic League would make similar demands, so after much deliberation, he decided to go to the Fugger family to borrow money...
