Vol 3 Chapter 29: Friendship or business?

, Update the latest chapter of the dawn of conquering heaven as soon as possible!
Regardless of the nobles of any country, there is a common feature, that is, there are many relatives.
If someone specializes in making a noble genealogical relationship in their spare time, they will be surprised to find that this kind of relative relationship, not only in Europe, not only runs through ancient and modern times, but also connects the world.
Sometimes it is difficult to make it clear from which generation a family and another family have become in-laws, and it is more difficult to sometimes make it unclear from which generation these relatives have been confused.
For example, Joanna, the wife of short-lived Ferdinand, she is the queen of Naples, but with the death of Ferdinand, if she remarries, she should have no power to claim the throne of Naples, but this is only from her armor. From the perspective of that.
If from Joanna herself, because she is also a descendant of Aragon, she is also known as Joanna of Aragon. In terms of her seniority, she is even her husband ’s aunt who is a few years older than her. I made a claim to the throne of Naples, and I fully have this right.
And this is one of the reasons why so many people still miss a widow who has died.
This slightly chaotic relationship in the circle is not only common in Italy, but even regarded as a symbol of whether a family has a proud history and an admirable status.
So when Constantine said that he was a cousin with Alexander, Alexander didn't think he had told a lie, but just how far the cousin showed it, he was a little bit doubtful.
And because this kind of relative relationship is very common, it is not so valued, so Alexander is really concerned about what Modillo wrote to the Rovere family.
Do n’t mind seeing Constantine. Alexander called the envelope. After looking at Modillo ’s signature below, he began to read the letter seriously.
Alexander is not familiar with Modillo ’s handwriting, or even if he is familiar, he does not think he has the ability to distinguish between true and false, but from this letter he gradually saw that this should indeed be the authenticity of Modillo, because in the letter Modillo deliberately mentioned one or two things that only the two of them knew. Obviously Modillo wrote in the letter not to show the Rovere family, but to reassure him.
The Earl was very cautious and did not say anything in the letter that might arouse suspicion. Other than to say a few things about himself, is it to recall the long friendship and relative relationship between the two families? In the hands of irrelevant or even enemies, it is not so easy to find a reason to attack them.
The only thing that may cause suspicion is that these two have some kind of relationship with the French, especially the Rovere family, which is a famous gangster.
It was only at the end of the letter that Modillo mentioned his "that poor nephew" to the Luo Weilei family in a very attentive tone, saying that he had been drifting out for various reasons, which had long become a heartache for his sister George Anne.
Fortunately, he finally found this "poor child", and now he wants to help himself take care of a very important business to Rome, so if it is convenient, I hope to get help from the cousins ​​of Rovere's family in Rome.
"So I said, we are cousins," Constantine looked at Alexander after reading the letter. "Let me think, as if this relative was from my mother's side, one of her cousins ​​seemed Your uncle is connected, this is his first wife, and as for the second wife's maiden, it seems to be a bit far away from our two, so I will not mention it. "
Alexander would like to yell, what kind of cousin is this?
But he also knows that the purpose of Constantine's saying is just to make it clear that they are "persons".
And Alexander can also guess that people have spent so much time explaining these relationships, but it is not really just to recognize their relatives.
"So, is the business you helped Earl do this time going smoothly?" Constantine asked suddenly, his eyes turned sharply.
Alexander looked at Constantine slightly enlightened, and by then he had already figured out what Constantine really cared about.
Obviously, Modillo was not really relieved that he was transporting grain to the north this time, so he would write to the people of the Rovere family in Rome, although he might not be able to guess at this time Giuliano Della. Rovere himself and his son will suddenly return to Rome, but it is clear that as long as the other people of Rovere's family in the city of Rome receive the letter, they will come to contact Alexander.
"It's not going well. I'm worried about this matter."
Thinking of this, Alexander decided not to hide, and he was also worried about how to send the grain left outside the city to the French. Although he had already seen the French general who occupied Rome, that de Charlene Obviously, he didn't like him very much, not to mention whether he could make a good deal from his hands, probably that Frenchman would think that his food was poisonous.
In addition, the news from Lombardy also made Alexander feel that even at this time, it would not make much sense to provide the Roman French with enough winter supplies. After all, as long as the main force of the French army collapsed, the Roman French naturally fell without a fight.
"It's really not going well," Constantine also sighed slightly with emotion. He also clearly understood the meaning in Alexander's words. After hesitating to watch Alexander, he whispered in a slightly tentative tone. If that food can be delivered to Lombardy ... "
"That's impossible," Alexander even interrupted Constantine a little impolitely. "The coalition forces have surrounded the French. At this time, who can deliver food to them."
"But if the French failed, wouldn't it be any good for all of us?" And as far as I know, the relationship between Frederick of Naples and your Modillo family is not very good. "
Seeing Alexander's helplessness when he heard this, Constantine was secretly happy, and then he continued: "Maybe we have other ways, and after all, this is a French matter, and they are always more anxious, so I think it might be better to leave these things to the French. "
Contemplation appeared on Alexander's face, seeming to be pondering the meaning of Constantine's words, but a thought flashed in his heart: it really was.
When Constantine showed interest in the food brought by Alexander, Alexander was thinking about what he was going to do.
Obviously, Constantine was entrusted by the French with the idea of ​​his food delivery team, but he should also be very clear that such a risky thing can not be easily promised by Alexander.
It now appears that the French trapped in the outer suburbs of Piedmont are probably in a situation where they have reached the end of their lives, otherwise they will not directly appeal to the Rovere family.
After all, despite being the lead party, in order to be able to stand sideways with the high position of the cardinal, one cannot always do too much.
But now the French seem to have asked the Rovere family to help at all costs.
It's just that the people of the Rovere family obviously don't want the French to ruin their good future in Rome, so their only way is to let the French find a way to transport the grain to Lombardy.
This made Alexander feel concealed. As he entered Rome, he was now concerned about how to take advantage of this city. As for the food, it became a big burden.
And as the battle situation changed, Alexander also began to wonder if Modillo knew if the French were in a position to insist on helping them in secret.
After all, the situation of the French today is too bad, and no one is willing to do the business of buying themselves into it.
It's just that if you want to throw the food here to the French, it will inevitably be somewhat lossy, and even if you think so, you must first ask the other party to take the initiative to come forward.
"Do you have someone like this that will allow us to contact the French without being suspicious?" Alexander showed a hesitant look. "It's important to know that this batch of food is very important. Earl attaches great importance to this matter, if I The Earl would n’t care if I messed up or not if he was my nephew. "
"Of course there is a suitable person, and you are a person you are familiar with," Constantine lowered his voice a little. "Do you think Teacher Fischer is a suitable middleman?"
Alexander was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Constantine to mention the famous Master Fischer.
In his impression, even until many years later, he became the most memorable principal in the history of the establishment of the University of Paris. This scholar who has a profound impact on the arts and philosophy of the French is also a long-selling broker or short-seller. It's not a spy who picks up chaos everywhere.
But this man did these things, first of all, in Sicily, he almost turned Palermo upside down because of a bloodstained night, and then he had to start a speculative business in Rome.
And when he saw Constantine suggesting that he came out of a room in the villa and still had the familiar smile of Fischer on his face, Alexander was relieved.
Think about it too. Even Michelangelo, who is destined to be great and great in the future, can thank Dade for the 30 Florin he provided. It seems that the future president of the University of Paris will do some business.
And he also believes that Fischer should not be so expensive just to make a fortune from the French army.
Sure enough, Fischer quickly told Alexander, with apologies, that he was very clear: "I'm sorry, we have no money."
"Can provide bread for nearly 30,000 troops, please forgive me for not being able to pay you such a huge fee."
Despite this, Keficher did not mean to feel embarrassed by his embarrassment. His wrinkled face even had a smile on his face. It seemed that he had a good card in his hand.
"So, respected master, what are you going to use to pay this amount?" Alexander asked calmly. He was playing a real businessman at this time, so even if the Duke of Orleans stood in front of him or simply Charles VIII There will also be bargaining without hesitation.
Even Alexander thought about it, if it was Charles VIII in front of him, in view of his indecent speech, he might have to make payment and pick up the goods.
"I promise you in the name of the king." Fischer said with a smile. His expression was kind and sincere, and it was easy for people to feel trust. At least Alexander felt that the master was really not prepared when he said these words. Delinquent.
It's just that Charlie's reputation is too stinky!
"Sorry Master, I can feel your sincerity, and I also believe that it is impossible for you to do anything detrimental to your conscience and covenant. But," Alexander shook his head firmly. "Please forgive me for not believing your king. After all, Milan ’s encounter with Sforza made us all aware that your monarch is not a believer. Please forgive me for being rude, but King Charles ca n’t be trusted. "
Constantine looked at Alexander in amazement. He really wanted to roar and asked Alexander at this time: "Are you crazy, dare you question the King of France?"
Even Fischer, who was always smiling, was a little surprised. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to comment on a monarch so facelessly.
But Alexander clearly did n’t care about their eyes, because only he knew that it was Charles VIII who was so blessed and long-lived now. It had n’t been a long time since he lived. At most, after a year and a half, this ambitious person made the whole The King of France, which Italy regards as a disaster star, is about to see God.
So even if he questioned that person's conduct so openly, Charlie could not treat him like that.
As long as he did not find anything to take the initiative to go to France to find death during this two or two years, would he still be sent to Italy to assassinate himself because he was scolded a few words?
You have to know that your Agri also has a lot of mouths to eat, although he has a very rich foreign money, but if he is careful, he is still very tight.
You must not be wealthy, and you will have to live ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander repeatedly told himself.
Thinking this way, Alexander strengthened his faith.
"Or you can find the Jews in the city of Rome, they will definitely be willing to loan you."
When Alexander's 'enthusiastic' proposal came out, Fischer had already awakened from the initial accident. He looked at Alexander with a slightly interesting eye. After thinking about it, he smiled and said:
"What if, I guarantee with the credibility of the Duke of Orleans? I promise you will never default on the payment you deserve, and we can pay you enough interest. You mentioned the Jews just now, and we all know that they are Usury, I believe we all know how Dante described the misery of these usurers in hell, I can guarantee that you can get interest that is not lower than that of the Jews, but this is definitely not usury, but you should get it. In addition , "Fischer ’s eyes showed a deep meaning." In addition to these, I can also guarantee that you can get the friendship from the Duke of Orleans. In view of your previous "association" with the Duke, I think this friendship may be in the future. Becomes very important. "
Looking at Fischer's smiling face, and then looking at the eager expression that Constantine next to him could not help, Alexander did not say a word: "Deal!"
