Warlock Royal Family

()..om Ladislaus did not summon the Spanish ambassador in the palace, but chose the meeting place on the newly launched inland warship. The [-]-ton sail and oars are already top-notch on the Danube. battleship.

Here are the achievements he has put a lot of heart and soul into.

On the Danube River, merchant ships and fishing boats are leaving and entering the port at all times. On the Danube Island in the Danube River, there are even lighthouses that are usually only seen in the harbor to guide the ships.

But these are nothing to the Spanish ambassador who has seen the port of Seville where thousands of sails gather.

A huge merchant ship carrying dyes and treasures from the New World is worth the net worth of ten great merchants in Austria, and an [-]-ton warship can only be used as a notification ship in the Spanish main fleet.

Ladislaus knew this too, and what he really wanted to show the Spanish ambassador was something else.

"Your Excellency the Cardinal, it is a blessing for the Austrians to take care of a monarch like you." The Spanish ambassador praised cooperatively. "How many catties of fish can you catch with this net?"

"How can there be so many, haha." Margarita, the female manager, will accompany her as a technical consultant, and the ambassador's wife also needs a female companion.

At first, Ladislaus established a shipyard on Danube Island and invested in some public facilities such as lighthouses, and then a new town was formed around the shipyard.

Then Margarita built a small breeding pond on the island by drawing water from the Danube according to Ladislaus's suggestion. Of course, "small" is based on Ladislaus' standards.

For most people, this breeding pond is not only fresh but also large in scale. Although freshwater fish that are easy to breed are not worth much in Europa, it is a very good source of protein for sailors who need intensive training. Margarita can easily get a food supply contract from the River Army.

The value of the river fish is her compensation for managing this Pearl Pond.

Yes.The real culture in this pond is freshwater pearls.

Even in Li Di's era, gemstones with bright fire and light transmission were an absolute luxury. For most people, pearls were a more affordable decoration and a gift that Li Di could afford.

Out of curiosity, he knew more or less some farming techniques.Some superficial common sense of later generations is actually the valuable experience accumulated by countless generations of wise people over the years, which is quite advanced in this era, such as using fishing nets to raise mussels instead of letting mussels sink to the bottom of the river naturally.

A small amount of river fish is just a fraction, and the income from pearls belongs to the private treasury of Ladislaus, and pearls will also be a powerful production in Vienna.It is of great value in promoting trade.

"Where, compared to the sea ruled by Spain, the Danube is just a small ditch." The output in the first year is really just meaning, but compared to Spain's plunder, manufacturing is the source of national strength. Especially this "high-tech" industry.

"It's not just an ocean ruled by Spain. It's also an ocean ruled by the warlock royal family." If this kind of statement is said in Madrid, it can make the ambassador a street rat, but it is very pleasing in Austria.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Margarita." Ladislaus took a beautifully packaged box and handed it to the ambassador. "This is my present to the Prince of Asturias."

His Majesty Ferdinand received his firstborn son during the Battle of Pavia, named Maximilian after his grandfather.

And the Prince of Asturias is similar to the Prince of Wales in England.It is the exclusive title of the prince.

"I thank you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor." The Spanish ambassador accepted the gift, and then began to talk about business. He knew that the friendly atmosphere was about to end. The Austrians thought that he asked for a meeting with Ladislaus because he was eager to ask for support. Attacking France together is actually not the case.

"I heard that you also got a lot of shipwrights from Venice this time?"

"Not many, but I think the arsenal on the island of Venice is an obstacle to His Majesty's status in the Eastern Mediterranean, so I completely dismantled it." In fact, the arsenal on the island of Venice hindered Suleiman the Great even more. "If you want to do it once and for all, you can't just demolish the house, but also take people away."

"That's true, that's true." Of course, Spain hopes to fight the Ottoman Empire with the Venetians, but now the emperor cannot turn his face against his most important ally for something that no longer exists.

"This time is really a great victory. His Majesty the Emperor must express his gratitude to you for taking back the territory of the Holy Roman Empire since ancient times." But for Austria's inheritance rights, it is difficult to say.

The territory on the mainland of the Republic of Venice was once the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and it can indeed be said since ancient times.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is this "thank you".These two words made Ladislaus furious.

"Thank you? Not congratulations?" Although Machiavelli, who had been silent on the boat, knew that this was bad, he still wanted to confirm.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The Spanish ambassador confirmed again that any tactful language for this kind of thing is meaningless. "His Majesty the Emperor, thank you very much for taking back these sacred lands for the Empire."

The good atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, and Ladislaus left immediately.

"I really didn't expect that Lao Tzu's defeat of France would make him so arrogant." Ladislaus squeezed his anger towards the emperor through his teeth.

It's not just a military effort, today I deliberately chose to summon the Spanish ambassador on the Danube, hoping to show the emperor the prosperity of Austria through the mouth of the ambassador, lay a solid foundation for the next step of cooperation between the two sides, and increase the weight when distributing benefits .

Charles V indulged his arrogance after his victory at Biqueca.Ferdinand did exactly the same thing after his victory at Pavia, and sure enough power makes one egotistical and victory makes one dull.

"Spain's support is crucial to us. We must urgently assess what to do if Spain no longer attacks France but concentrates its energy on us." Machiavelli was quite worried. The chain reaction of the vast territory of Venice.

Spain's consistent national policy is to take France as the main enemy, but when France fails, Austria's interests are not so secure.

"Spain's national strength is not enough to surpass the strength of the Ottomans and penetrate into the Adriatic Sea." Although Ladislaus said so, his frowning showed that he was not so sure about this matter.

Spain and Austria are really at war. Suleiman is afraid that he will be a comedian in his dreams. How he will react is really unpredictable.

The planned trip to visit the river army camp and the shipyard was of course all cancelled. The Spanish ambassador and his wife were under the watchful eyes of the surrounding Austrians. The lady even worried that Ladislas would give an order and then she and her husband would swim back to Vienna. .

Of course, this unhelpful sporting event did not happen, as the ambassador had predicted.

In the terrible atmosphere, Ladislaus returned to the palace, and he tried his best to control his emotions, so that Margarita called all the members of the Council of State for an emergency meeting.

But before the ministers arrived, Princess Katharina arrived first.

"Did he really thank you?"

Ladislaus nodded. As soon as the Spanish ambassador's words came out, he walked away not simply because of anger, but also in response to temptation.

The words of the Spanish ambassador are more of a temptation than a declaration. Ladislaus expressed his attitude without hesitation, leaving no room for doubt.

Although the Battle of Pavia greatly strengthened Spain's position, I, Ladislaus, are by no means easy to mess with.

"He defeated France and had a son again. He thought the world was his." Princess Catherine was equally angry at her brother's announcement, which also greatly violated her rights. She took two steps and knelt down to Lady At the foot of Sluss, he held his man's hand, "Please believe me, I don't know anything about it."

"Of course, my lady, it is not my interests alone that he has offended."

"It's all my fault. I haven't given you a son."

"We are still so young, we will have children, please believe that I will do my best to guarantee the future and interests of our children." (to be continued...)·.
