Old Sword Master

…

“Your Majesty, in fact, it’s fine to say that I die at sea. There is no need to say that the emperor harmed me.”

“I didn’t say that the emperor harmed you, so I let the people of the intelligence system say you died at sea.”

“that…”

“Pious believers will make up for themselves.”

Of course Wood didn’t die at sea. He was at the mouth of the Tiber River, tasting sweet (奶nǎi) tea with the Pope Zhenxuan in a lighthouse outside Ostia.

Chapter 654 Your Village Sword Is Really Useless

The port of Ostia, where the Tiber River enters the sea, was very prosperous in the past few days. The citizens were very happy, and the officials did not sleep well in the past few days.

Because the really elected Pope Your Majesty came from Rome and made an unplanned visit here, he took the citizens to a Mass, and then he stopped at the small sect church in the city. The officials were relieved a little. The Pope Xuan did not patrol everywhere, but asked them to provide the raw materials for making healing potions as much as possible. He and several red-clothed Archbishops worked overtime there every day.

This is enough for officials to keep busy, but it is better than checking accounts and explaining their own mental state.

The true pope brought 5 red-clothed Archbishops, including Medici and Furtus, to make a large number of healing potions every day, and then sent them to a bay not far from the coast by a ship from the Church of Rome Dumped into the sea.

“Ahhh.” Medici red-clothed Archbishop let out a gasp.

“Praise your piety, your highness, you got up too early.” The captain hurriedly sent his horse.

“Serve God.” Medici red-clothed Archbishop really feels that he is getting up early, “Hurry up and finish, the broth at noon will be cold.”

Just near this location, two hours ago, a merchant ship of the Fate Chamber of Commerce dropped 2 baskets of red-painted oysters into the sea. The red-clothed Archbishops can get up at 100 o’clock (bed chuáng), Work starts at 9:9, waits for lunch at eleven, and eats lunch at eleven thirty. Naturally, these unemployed temporary workers can get up early and get dark, and do the work before no one is paying attention.

Wood and Nared have regained contact. Although it is impossible to refute the rumors, it is okay to ask her to prepare the oysters that Mrs. Kurt needs. The Fate Chamber of Commerce is reliable in doing things, and the paint on the shells is so solid.

They also built a dam at the mouth of the bay, on the one hand to block the potential Sea Beast, on the other hand to stabilize the concentration of the healing potion, so that the utilization rate increased.

The cost of this project is not small, but Mrs. Kurt has money. She now has a deposit of 2 10000 talers in the Fate Chamber of Commerce and the Roman church. The 8-foot and some insect meat that Wood received, plus guidance I gave her a copy of the array. From now on, she can get money in 2 with a string of meaningless letters and numbers. Wood has no more cash in his own hands, and he goes shopping.

Because they did not pour the oysters, but just pour the healing potion, the people in the Roman church country did not think this ceremony was particularly heresy. This is similar to most of the sacrifices of the god Shuiyuan**, except that they don’t know how to choose it. Pope Your Majesty personally took care of this.

But although Goddess has a lower status than God, it is always Goddess, and the pope cannot be said to be too eager.

“Praise your piety, Your Highness Medici? Your Highness Medici?”

“Oh, oh, let’s start falling.”

“Don’t put red madder today?”

“Put it, put it, put it in first, then pour it down.”

If it weren’t for the entourage, the Medici red-clothed Archbishop would make a mistake again. He had been absent-minded for the past few days, and was distracted from time to time, not only because it was about lunch, but also because he was worried about his national debt. .

Although he has a priest level, his level is too low, and he is always out of the state when making healing potions. There is no way. He is a person who goes up and down a few hundred talers every minute, so he was sent to work on the ship by the true pope.

Nor can it be blamed on the Medici red-clothed Archbishop. He recently lost more than 10000 talers in his hype soothing agent and Spanish national debt. Wood, who didn’t expect that powerful, died!

The Pope himself said that he and Wood had made an appointment to meet, but the other party did not show up. No one in the world would dare to release the Pope’s pigeon.

Wood’s ship was attacked by a very powerful, very powerful core enemy at sea, and now it is very likely that misfortune has occurred.

Medici red-clothed Archbishop suspected that the Kraken that appeared in the Mediterranean recently came to Wood again.

You said that you are a bad luck Cretan village sword. When you deal with me, it is so powerful, and then it fiercely once, causing me to lose more than ten 10000 talers! hateful!

Fortunately, the Medici red-clothed Archbishop was clever. After learning about this situation, immediately lost all the original positions, and then turned around and shorted the government bonds of the Republic of Crete by more than 8,000 tals and another 2 10000 tals. Related national debt, you said that you are such a small country, but you actually repay the national debt?

Wood knew about this matter. It was handled by Liandra and Vernell. They took advantage of the emperor and the true pope to allow the freedom of belief in Crete, and took the opportunity to issue a 9% national debt in Venice, with a total annual interest rate. 5% of the loan was about 15 talers, secured with Cretan olive oil, the interest is not particularly low, plus when it was issued 40000 talers for 100 talers, Wood thought it was a bit expensive .

But compared to the past, the Republic of Crete couldn’t even borrow 9 out of 3 loan sharks, which is pretty good.

Two days ago, when Wood brought Anna Princess and little Bazin back from the “No-Fire Furnace”, the national debt rose above the nominal price.

But after all, this bond is too small. Short selling of more than 10000 is the limit. Now it has been beaten to about 20% of the nominal price, and there is no opponent at all.

Fortunately, the Regent Ladislaus used the concept of Wood a week ago to follow suit and issue an Austria-Crete unity national debt. This national debt has a ten-year term and has no cash interest. The principal will be repaid after ten years. It is possible to get 2 properties on the island of Crete, one of which is located in Gandia City, can be obtained immediately, and the other will be a new town that will break ground in ten years or a rebuilt Cretan city Allocation, every 1000 tals can get 2 real estates of 100 square meters, even if the land outside the city, 2 ten acres of land.

This batch of houses was bought by Ladislaus from the Cretans for a total of about 3 Thale. The regency claimed that Gandia would be the center of trade in the Eastern Mediterranean in ten years. The houses were bought to make a fortune. The Regent will buy it for everyone first, and if you are willing to operate it, you can go now. If you don’t want to go, you can also entrust it to the Regent to manage it, and you will be rented.

If things go well, everyone will make a fortune together. If things go wrong, it will also pay off.

This condition is really not very good. Those properties are the most remote corners of the city wall, far away from the dock area. Currently, they cannot be rented out at all. However, the regent’s salesmen are still in Central and South Germany, mainly Bavaria Duchy, The electorate of Rhine-Palatinate, and several free cities have gotten 10000 talers.

In the past few years, Southern Germany has been relatively peaceful, and everyone has accumulated a lot of wealth. Moreover, several regents have managed Southern Germany to build a lot of credit. Therefore, from the duke to the wealthy businessmen are willing to invest.

Medici red-clothed Archbishop once also had a Cretan debt of 5000 talers and a debt of 10000 talio-c unity. He believed in Wood’s strength.

But this Cretan village sword is really useless, let down the Medici red-clothed Archbishop!

Medici red-clothed Archbishop not only sells the national debt with the theme of Wood, but also the great generosity short the Austrian-Cross unity debt. The latter is not small, and the lords and wealthy merchants of Central and South Germany are Mu Zhimu. I feel that I have taken a lot of plates, but unfortunately, such a loss has already reduced the price to only 70% of the face value, and the follow-up will not be able to hold it down.

Medici red-clothed Archbishop watched the healing potion being poured into the sea, completely didn’t expect the true meaning of this matter, just worrying about his own speculative business.
