Old Sword Master

“The Medici family agreed! We don’t have to take risks, they agreed directly! As long as Taler, as long as Taler!” But he was still very excited, and his tone of voice was shaking.

Furtus heard only this sentence at the last moment.

However, this matter was not kept secret, and within a few steps he went out, a young colleague was very excited to tell this “nephew” of the really elected Pope what was going on with such excitement.

In fact, Furtus red-clothed Archbishop knew the probable possibility, but it was completely confirmed.

The head of the Medici family and the flag bearer of the justice of Florence, Alessandro Medici contacted all the red-clothed Archbishops who had been favored by the Medici family and agreed that as long as they pay a tribute of about 10000 talers per year, If you surrender the towns and villages of the Fanese family in Central Italy that have a population of less than 3000, the “nephew” of the pope who is really elected can become the Duke of Parma.

Of course, the requirement for not getting the table is that the really elected pope redistributed the power that was collected after the Venice trade fair, and released all the real power departments and even the army of the Roman church country. The most important thing is that his “nephew” occupied The position of the commander of the church’s military team must be handed over, and Ippolito-Medici red-clothed Archbishop, who is introspecting behind closed doors, must be reinstated.

Together, these conditions are not as good as a hereditary duchy, and Parma and Piacenza are absolutely perfect places.

‘So generous, it seems that the standard bearer of justice has some plot. ‘Fortus red-clothed Archbishop thought to himself,’ but it’s no wonder that the son of the Pope is so excited. ‘

Although the Medici family may have the dominant power, the Fanese family has clearly benefited more.

However, no matter what the plan is, the true pope cannot fail to agree, because this is the rule of the Dark Sun Church in Rome in 1000. The true pope can centralize power and can do the major event after the power is centralized, but the goal after the major event is centralized is Find a duchy for your family as welfare.

This is really the highest award for Italian nobles.

You don’t divide powers under such good conditions, do you want to hold on to it?

Even if the position of the true pope is impossible hereditary, but wanting to hold the army in your hands is not enough. Regardless of the division of power, the Fannesse family will immediately become the target of public criticism, even with the backing of the Medici family, Clement 7 It is also impossible to do this kind of thing, even more how the Fanese family is much weaker.

Furtus red-clothed Archbishop walked back to his room silently.

In his room there is a god emblem of tossing waves, as the red-clothed Archbishop that now hosts the faith of Shui Yuan ** god, this is the standard configuration.

Looking at this emblem, he suddenly flashed a single thought in his mind. This is definitely good for the pope, but it seems that Wood-Lombard, who likes the god Shuiyuan **, does more harm than good…no, almost all It’s a drawback!

Chapter 717 You Missed A Good Opportunity

:

Bishop Ostia has no place in his church today. He can only stay in the courtyard where the security guards are normally located, urging the cultivator to boil water while checking the kitchen work.

Today this church belongs to the Pope, and he wants to meet Wood here. This is not a scheduled show. Wood just wants to make a little investment in private, and then finalize a follow-up attack plan on the “No-Fire Furnace”.

But the really elected pope suddenly wanted to be officially interviewed, and he was indeed somewhat surprised.

The dress of the true pope is completely different from yesterday.

A silk costume should be a genuine product from the Bright Empire. Although the Lucca Republic in Italy can also produce high-quality silk, according to the local mage, the quality is not inferior to the oriental imported products, but the brand power is still a little worse.

The real Pope must choose the most expensive product. The boots under his feet are made of unborn calfskin that is still in the womb. The most important 3rd-layer crown, which symbolizes heaven, earth and hell, is also worn. .

Seeing this dress, Wood is slightly frowned. Compared to solemnity, he prefers the relaxed real Pope.

And there are more than a dozen Archbishops of Dark Sun Church in Rome, all of them wearing scarlet dresses, very formal.

Yesterday, there was no that many red-clothed Archbishop by the Pope, and some of them have endured the hardships of a long journey. They seemed to have just arrived. In addition to the red-clothed Archbishop of Fortus, there was also a Medici. Red-clothed Archbishop, Wood remembers that he was still reflecting on it a few days ago, why did he release it suddenly?

However, in many red-clothed Archbishops, his eyes are quite in awe, and his body language expresses a deep hesitation.

“Come on, Wood, have some tea. I bought your little pot of tea.” The true pope, dressed in a costume, still greeted Wood enthusiastically.

Fortus red-clothed Archbishop said he brought Wood a cup of tea. The color was very poor. Wood knew it was a small pot of tea filled by Nita. His younger sister was better than Santaali, Liandra and Bassano. The master didn’t care about the tea. It must have leaked some air in.

Although the (yin yīn) plot to pit Wood with Sazastan was discovered, and he knew that Wood should have known it, since Wood did not invest in the Crimson Research Project, Sazastan would definitely sell him for benefits.

Among the three bad guys, Wood is actually closer to the other two parties. It’s just that his close relationship with Spain and his recent astonishing victory made the other very alert two parties have an urge to cooperate. But Wood Not careless, disrupted their cooperation.

“Okay, okay, good tea.” Wood was not angry either. It was the Dark Sun’s apostle’s business that inflated capital forged finances and defrauded the follow-up investment. Relying on the ability of this fictitious strength has bluffed a few big guys, made a few big investments, and then came to the top and became the number one power in this main plane. But if Wood is not angry or angry, he still does With the necessary reminder, “You have to buy this tea really selected by the Pope often, this time buy 10000 talers.”

“Okay, Fultus, you place the order as soon as possible.” The true pope agreed without saying a word, and then said, “We will return the money directly to His Excellency Wood, tea and so on later.”

This made Wood more psychologically prepared, and I am afraid that things will not go as smoothly as he expected. The investment of the Church of Rome seems to be beyond expectation.

This is of course a very bad thing.

In addition to Cortez’s 300,000, Wood also needs Rome’s Dark Sun Church’s 300,000 to purchase Spanish low-interest national debt. The Regency’s hundred thousand Wood not at all. Seriously consider it. After all, Austria’s economic situation has always been poor, and the Regency’s request for revision is also Know if it can be satisfied.

With this money, another 3 low-interest Treasury bonds can be found to follow suit. Of course, 400,000 must be rich, and 600,000 should be enough.

But at the moment Wood doesn’t seem to be able to get 300,000, and 6000 talers can only be regarded as a supplement.

“Yes.” Fortus red-clothed Archbishop didn’t know what it meant, but from Wood’s very unique number “6000”, he felt that the expert had a trick. Of course, this also shows that he is not far behind. , If it is the Medici red-clothed Archbishop that is still introspecting, it must be confused.

But Furtus red-clothed Archbishop also knows that these 1000 talers are just a trivial matter, and the large sum of money Wood needs is impossible.

“Your Excellency Wood, first of all please (Yunyǔn) allow me to congratulate you on your great victory in the Fireless Furnace.” The true pope looked solemn, “On the first Mass of the next month, there will be more than a dozen worlds around you. The church of Dark Sun Your Majesty will praise your career.”

The metaphor of the true pope is a great help to Wood’s reputation. He will be very respected in all countries that believe in Dark Sun. In the future, when he goes to other planes to see the believers of Dark Sun, he will get more active cooperation. , This is important, but not as direct as 300,000 talers.

A dozen red-clothed Archbishops standing around also bowed to greet Wood, but most of them seemed to be taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune?

“Your Excellency Wood, there is still good news to tell you.” Medici red-clothed Archbishop stood up, his face was full of triumph, but his eyes were full of worry. He looked straight at Wood, not daring to let others see his eyes. “The Republic of Florence and the Church of Rome have reached an agreement on the division of the sea of ​​alums. From now on, the Republic of Florence and the Church of Rome will no longer worry about evil spirits in the outer world.”
