Warlock Royal Family

() "Praise the knight of ambition, the constant guardian of the Holy Roman Empire, thank him for protecting us, so that we can enjoy food with peace of mind."

At lunch time, Ladislaus took care of the business of his Ancestor God Church, and ordered a table of food and wine to enjoy, but the waiters here still retained a little religious color, and did not become a complete money grab In the clubhouse, after serving the dishes, I finally praised Barbarossa.

"Will the last words of praise affect the business of the club?" Ladislaus asked a little worried, after all, the proportion of Barbarossa believers is still very low.

"Praise once only after the food is served, it will not cause too much disgust, and we will not force sermons, only those guests who seek the truth after listening to this prayer, we will give guidance." Pastor Kessler explained Let Ladislaus rest assured that Cyric's strength is still very strong after all.

Some of the more solid special dishes in this clubhouse are basically river fish from the Danube River. Although there are no high-end spices, it is a high-end club after all.

But the Europas really don't have much talent for cooking freshwater fish, nor do river prawns.

Although the Austrian Grand Duchy under the rule of the Habsburgs was the first country to introduce carp from Asia to Europa in the twelfth century, it is a pity that for more than 300 years, this wonderful food that has inspired countless praises and poems in the Far East Empire has not been similarly received in Europe. It was well received, so it didn't get much attention, and most of the freshwater fish with few spines that suit European tastes are still unknown to the outside world at this time in the rivers of the Black Continent.

Not only nobles, but even ordinary middle-class citizens seldom eat river fish. Only those poor fishermen and farmers eat river fish in large quantities.

Of course, the cooks in this clubhouse are considered to be of Europa's advanced level, so the distinguished guests who come here don't have much objection to trying something new by chance.

And Ladislaus hadn't eaten river fish for a long time, so he still ate a lot anyway, especially carp balls, which were really good dishes wrapped in a layer of lettuce.

This caused some of his subordinates to have some kind of wrong idea, but Ladislaus didn't know that he was more concerned about the operation of this clubhouse: "This clubhouse can provide the church of His Majesty the Knight with great wishes every month. How much money?"

"The profit from catering alone exceeds [-] talers! It also drives the hotel business." Pastor Odd Kessler is very proud. The high-end restaurants in the old city center of Vienna have long been monopolized by major noble families, and the investment in funds The establishment of a high-level club on the banks of the Danube, which has not yet developed, was initially opposed by many pastors.He believed that at most he could only operate low-end restaurants, and it was his firm support that could make a difference in this new city. He foresaw that big businessmen would pay more attention to the emerging business opportunities along the Danube than small businessmen, so they needed high-end clubs to open. "Not only is the food already well-known on the banks of the Danube, but the exchange meeting in the afternoon can also provide a lot of profits."

"Where does the profit come from?"

"A fee of ten thalers per booth on the trading floor."

Odd Kessler's answer Ladislaus realized that the Church of the Knights of Great Vision was actually not strong enough. The way it works is also not very imaginative.

"Actually. I have a suggestion. We can set up a membership system, so that those merchants can get the opportunity to trade for free after spending a certain amount, and set another amount for very important people. You can get the best booths and can entrust Auction, of course this is just a suggestion."

Ladislaus's suggestion is indeed very creative, and it should be tried to some extent, even if his subordinates think it is just a whim of the monarch.But in any case Ladislaus immediately got a lot of flattery.

It's just that the good situation of harmony and unity that he worked so hard to promote obviously cannot continue.

Boss Silica never forgot that Reverend Odd Kessler took away all his captive Sune priestesses and ruined his little fortune.

"Pastor Kessler, I'm a little strange. I have a golden building right next to the church of His Majesty the Knight of Great Wishes. That should be the church of His Majesty's Friends of the Merchant." Although Boss Silica's background is not very good, he also Learned how to play politics.

In order to show his special friendship with the Republic of Venice, Ladislaus specifically allowed Pastor Woking to be active in Austria. Of course, anyone who openly believes in Woking must give up the opportunity to get military and public positions, and official recognition Faith is not a class.

"This kind of vulgar color is indeed the taste of His Majesty's Friends of the Merchant." Although he was talking about money with excitement just now.But at this time Pastor Kessler assumed a mocking tone.

"It's just that I find it strange that His Majesty's Church of the Friends of the Merchant has always been famous for its business operations. They will follow up any business that makes money, and then use low-priced and high-quality services to attack competitors. After the competitors withdraw, they will monopolize the market to obtain profits. Especially Business platform service is His Majesty’s old line of business. Why don’t many of His Majesty’s churches operate similar businesses? I remember that His Majesty Habsburg allowed them to conduct legitimate business?” Allow Woking’s chamber of commerce Running commerce was also part of Ladislaus' goodwill towards the Republic of Venice.He even restrained his instincts and did not collect a huge sum of money from the Woking Chamber of Commerce as usual.

Ladislaus is very opposed to monopolizing the market through administrative means, especially this kind of market that has nothing to do with military affairs. He believes that the market can only provide the most tax revenue if it is fully competitive, and the Woking Church, which is good at management, can often provide a lot of tax revenue.Moreover, the Woking Church is more willing to lend money to countries that support their business.

"Hehe, I was just about to explain this to Your Highness." Pastor Kessler scolded his mother in his heart.

He did engage in a bit of "asymmetric" competition.But fortunately, he had already taken precautions, otherwise he would really be tricked.

Everyone understood at this time that Boss Silica and Pastor Kessler were engaged in a contest in front of the monarch that seemed to be understated but was actually extremely dangerous.

Not only is Boss Silica dissatisfied with Pastor Kessler's blocking of his business, Pastor Kessler is also very angry that Boss Silica has inserted a drug trafficking agency into his church.

Although His Majesty Barbarossa remained silent, Ladislaus was sure that his ancestral gods would not have cleanliness, as long as he could strengthen himself against the enemy, he could accept a certain moral hazard, but it was a big deal for a pious priest. offend.

"Then please explain to the boss." Silica's boss pursued unceremoniously. No matter what reason he used an off-the-box move, it would always deduct points in Ladislaus' heart.

"You two, please note that this is a public place. Please go to an appropriate place to discuss matters related to state affairs." Ms. Margarita, who was wearing a cloak to cover her face with a strange mask, poured a glass of wine for Ladislaus while It prevented the two sides from seeing the real chapter immediately.

Just at this time, the waiter of the clubhouse came in to remind that the trade fair was about to start, and the turmoil came to an end for the time being. (to be continued...)
