Chapter 144 A Different Wallachia
After finally formulating weights and measures, it is natural to promote them nationwide.Peter ordered to use this as a sample to make containers and promote it throughout the country. Such a move is no less than currency unification.

Merchants groups are naturally the most welcome, so that the troubles caused by different weights and measures can be reduced, and it is more conducive to the development of transactions.

Commoners are also very welcome, so you don't have to worry about buying things short of catties, and it is much more convenient to pay taxes to the country and rent to landlords.

The currency is unified, weights and measures are unified, roads are being repaired, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Sometimes Peter feels that all this is not so real. It is incredible that Osman, who is on the rise, has been defeated twice in a row and is still under the rule of Lightning.I don't know if it's too big, or it's just good luck?

But now, let's rest with the people, even if it is ten years or five years.Strength is accumulated after all.

Castriotti, who was about to become the Duke of Albert, came to Bukuriesti, and this battle also doubled his territory.And becoming a vassal of Wallachia is also the result of his deliberation. After all, the Balkans now belong to him. Asia is the best choice.

Mircea himself canonized him, and Castriotti knelt at his feet in submission, and the whole process was smooth and harmonious.

With his joining, Wallachia will have an outlet to the Adriatic Sea and can face the Mediterranean Sea.Both economically and militarily, there are benefits.In the future, it may be used as a springboard to return to Italy.

In addition to accepting the canonization when he came to the capital this time, Castriotti also brought the taxes to be paid this year.Then he will plan to continue to expand the territory, the county is like this, recognize your power, but you also have to recognize mine.Only in this way can it last.

Bayezid is educating his son Suleiman in Bursa, the Ottoman capital.His screams could be heard throughout the palace.

"Sultan, please calm down," Ali Pasha persuaded Bayezid.

"Calm down, how can I calm down. Twice, the empire lost to Wallachia twice, the efforts of the ancestors were in vain, and this second time, it turned out to be provoked by this ignorant bastard."

As Bayezid said, he beat Suleiman with a whip. At this time, Prince Osman no longer had a piece of good meat on him.

"Sultan, no one will win forever, just like Constantinople, how powerful his country was hundreds of years ago, and now it is only lingering under the protection of the city wall."

"Sultan, you just need patience now."

"Patience?" Bayezid didn't want to hear these two words the last time. He was told to be patient before, but what happened.

"Grand Vizier, if you don't want to become me, I can replace you."

"I'm just doing it for the country."

Ali Pasha had a righteous expression on his face, as if he could die for Othman.But Bayezid's anger subsided a little, he told the grand vizier.

"You said why the successor of Wallachia is not my successor? He is so great, whether it is military or political affairs, he can take care of everything in an orderly manner. If the empire is placed in his hands, the dream of the ancestors will definitely be realized. , and Allah will bless you."

Bayezid has already found out that the reason why Wallachia has grown stronger in recent years is inseparable from the co-ruler named Peter.During his tenure as governor of Moldova and Bulgaria, he vigorously promoted army building and economic development, and the Wallachian army, which repeatedly deflated him, was trained by Peter.

"Sultan, no matter how you say he will not be your child. He is the heir of Wallachia and the enemy of Ottoman."

"I know"

Bayezid just thought about it, and now he and Wallachia can only die endlessly.Still think about how to defeat the enemy.

"Now, we can only attack to the east to make up for our losses in the west."

Bayezid expressed his thoughts, since the West can't do it, then change to the East.Make up for the territory and population of the west by capturing the land in the east, so that you can restore your strength as much as possible.

Ali Pasha had no better way, so he could only acquiesce to Sultan's idea.The remaining land in the Balkans must also be strictly guarded, and it must not be lost again.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

Bayezid looked at Suleiman, who was covered in bruises, and left angrily. He needed to extinguish the fire in the harem.

Peter was working and received a letter from Buda. It turned out that the letter from Queen Mary had arrived. It seemed that the waterway was quite fast.

Mary hopes to cooperate with Wallachia to bring Sigismund to the Hungarian throne. After that, the people of Transylvania will be exempted from taxes for five years and their status will be improved.

"It's another promise, I'm afraid I will go back on it again."

Peter looked at the letter and said with some self-mockery.

"Are we really going to help the Hungarian king?"

"We're going to help, but not now. I'm going to make her beg me, let her beg the people of Transylvania to support her."

Peter felt that now was not the time, the struggle between the two kings had not been made public, and it was the right time to come out when Mary had only one breath left.

Wallachia can look up and look at Hungary. The territory and population have surpassed Hungary. If it is one-on-one, Hungary has no chance of winning.

In terms of political system, Hungary is an aristocratic republic in the cloak of a kingdom, while Wallachia is a country that has initially centralized power. Wallachia is superior in terms of mobilization and material allocation capabilities.

If it was a short-term battle, Hungary might lose miserably, but behind Sigismund there are states in Shinra, which allowed him to pull back a round diplomatically.The two sides have formed a delicate balance, and how to maintain the relationship between the two countries is what the ruler needs to think about.

The weights, measures and currency promoted by Peter caused waves throughout the country. There was some confusion a few days ago, but it soon quieted down because the unified weights and measures were so good.The transaction speed has been greatly improved, and the market has gradually expanded.

The Danube, Prut, and Dniester are the three main rivers in Wallachia. The cities and towns along their banks are well-developed in industry and commerce, and a large number of commodities are traded and exported along the rivers.The government earns a lot of tax from it, and the preferential treatment for farmers and businessmen stimulates productivity, and Wallachia's wealth is continuously being produced.

Among export commodities, wine increased from 1390 lei in 12 to 56 lei, beeswax increased from 20 lei to 42, total export increased from 140 million lei to 300 million, and the annual trade surplus was 30. Ten thousand, plus other taxes, is enough.
