I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 176 The Friendship Price with the Queen, A Murder Case Caused by a Money Order
Peter knew exactly what Bernice was thinking, he didn't value international prestige, he just wanted to be as stable as a dog in the country.

Peter smiled and said:
"Count Bernice, I understand what you mean. The Holy Mother did not say that it was unique to Russia when she gave me the Holy Revelation. After all, there are also Orthodox Christians in Greece. I think that the artifact can naturally be introduced to other countries."

"As for Queen Teresa's publicity after it was introduced to Austria, that's her business. I don't think the merciful Virgin is willing to spread her holy light to all peoples, and she doesn't mind."

Hearing what Peter said, Earl Bernice couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Because it was too early to conclude that Peter III was talking big words, Earl Bernice was unable to take back the letter sent to the Queen.

He believes that such a remedy is now enough to make Queen Teresa smile.

If it was Teresa face to face, she would naturally be unwilling and unwilling to admit that she needed the holy revelation of the Orthodox gods, but isn't the reason why diplomats are diplomats that they can trample on their skins as they please according to national interests?

He can do what Teresa can't do, and he can lose face that Teresa doesn't want to lose.

Bernice was very grateful to Peter at this time, he didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

But he also knew that he couldn't take it for nothing, Bernice said:

"I wonder how much Your Majesty wants to pay?"

Peter said:
"The method of making artifacts is taught by the Holy Mother. In order to avoid sin, this cannot be passed on, but the artifacts can be. In view of the good relationship between Queen Elizabeth and the queen of your country, a set of artifacts is 5000 rubles."

Peter did not open his mouth like a lion. When it comes to faith and gods, this is already a low price that cannot be lowered.

He believes that no matter Teresa or the interested monarchs of various countries, they will never think that he is blackmailing, but will think that he is very simple and amiable.

There is also intellectual property rights that need to be promoted with the help of the monarchs of various countries, and Peter will naturally not take too much advantage in this regard.

Even if it is calculated according to the country, there are actually not many buildings that really need lightning protection. Even in the 21st century, the houses of ordinary people do not have lightning rods.

In terms of belief, what is more valuable is the friendship between monarchs.

Earl Bernice couldn't help being surprised when he heard the price Peter III said.

He thought that there would be a very high price. Now which country's ambassador is stationed in another country, it is not a big spend when bribing important government officials of the other country, not to mention that it is a magic weapon, and he has witnessed its power with his own eyes.

It can be said that the spread to Austria is of great significance to Queen Teresa's rule.

Seeing Bernice's expression, Peter smiled and said:
"This is a friendly price with your country. I believe that after what happened yesterday, other countries will not be indifferent. If they also want to get the artifact, the price is different from your country. I hope Earl Bernice will keep this secret."

Earl Bernice couldn't help but be very grateful. Peter's disrespect to Teresa when he was driving in the carriage with clouds and rain was forgotten. Bernice thanked Peter a lot:
"Your Majesty! We will remember your kindness this time in our hearts. We hope that the two countries will have good relations forever. We need 100 sets of the artifact you bestowed."

The 100 sets is the number obtained by Bernice's estimation of the main buildings in the country.

As for ordinary civilians, it is not within the scope of his consideration at all.

Peter nodded and smiled:
"Yes, I will immediately order people to start building the artifact, and then give blessings. I believe it will be in the hands of the minister soon."

Bernice saluted, and without hesitation wrote a money order worth 50 rubles and presented it.

Milkowski came down and took it and handed it to Peter.

Peter took a look and saw that it belonged to a well-known bank in the Netherlands.

Finance is a good thing. In the history of mankind, there are not many big and powerful countries that established financial countries. The Phoenician city-states gave usury to the Jews as early as the Bible era. Alexander once raised funds for the Eastern Expedition from the Greek city-states. Venice, Florence, Political entities such as the Netherlands have also used financial leverage to make a difference in history.

But the Netherlands did not start its business by relying on its own business practices, and it can be said that neither is the whole West.

As early as the Middle Ages, Venetian profiteers took advantage of the Crusaders' plundering wars for profit.

Western businessmen in the period of great voyages all started from business with no capital.

The British established the East India Company in 1600, and the Dutch established the East India Company in 1602.

The Dutch East India Company is the famous king of whoring.

In February 1603, the fleet of the Dutch East India Company robbed a Portuguese ship full of Chinese silk, lacquerware, porcelain, etc. in Johor. One robbery brought back 2 million Dutch guilders to the East India Company, equivalent to the total share capital Liucheng.

The company's most perfect closed-loop business idea is:
"As long as the Chinese trade is successful, importing Chinese goods into Japan, sometimes to and fro, and with Bacheng's trade with China, the company will no longer have to borrow on a large scale and pay expensive interest (as in India) ), and even get a substantial amount of real money to finance the voyage back to Holland, without having to send any capital out of Europe."

The method for the Netherlands to purchase goods from China is to grab them.

荷兰人从1622年10月到1623年10月一年时间内抢了147条中国商船，打劫了中国沿海11个货栈乡村，抢走了100多头牛，21大捆生丝，甚至连鸡蛋家禽都不放过。

In order to obtain sucrose from China, it directly robbed Wanwan, let the Chinese harvest and make sucrose for them, and then used the sucrose and the robbed raw silk to go to Japan for silver, and used Japanese silver to buy Chinese fine silk, forming a perfect closed loop.

Spices, silk, tea, gold and silver, cane sugar, porcelain and slaves, which were popular shops in the Age of Discovery, were all robbed by Western merchants and never paid real money. The so-called free trade is free robbery trade.

The West completed primitive accumulation with looted commodities, and this was the capital of the industrial revolution.

Ordinary people in the West also benefited greatly from the war. If there were no tens of millions of square kilometers of land, tens of billions of acres of fertile land and pastures, and massive mineral resources won by Westerners through wars, there would not be hundreds of millions of Anglo-Saxon descendants. It is impossible for the descendants of Spain and Portugal to expand hundreds of times within hundreds.

The war brought the greatest war dividends to the Westerners after the great voyage. They have benefited so far and will continue to benefit in the future.

Even the so-called neutral Swiss were descendants of mercenaries who took the initiative to work hard.

The British fought more than 180 of the more than 160 members of the United Nations. The French won more than 141% of the wars after the Middle Ages. They fought a total of 130 wars. The Spaniards participated in [-] wars...

They have never forgotten the benefits of war. Before their hegemony disappears, the pacifists who are moved by themselves and take the initiative to kneel are the biggest jokes.

Looking at the money order from the Dutch bank in his hand, a cold light flashed in Peter's eyes.

Afterwards, he lightly flicked the money order, and said a few more words to Earl Bernice, who left happily.

Peter did not leave the main hall, because according to his estimation, it would not be just an ambassador who came to ask for an audience.

To be able to serve as an ambassador in a country like Russia, I believe there is no such thing as a big fool.

Sure enough, he received a notification soon, and the Prussian ambassador Madefield asked to see him.
