Vol 3 Chapter 22: Religious exchange

, Update the latest chapter of the dawn of conquering heaven as soon as possible!
Queen Naples was nearly assassinated in front of the Vatican Palace, and then waited for the revenge to subside, but the Archbishop of Frankfurt was stabbed to death on the streets of Rome.
The series of accidents that happened two days before and after this made the Romans seem to be watching a wonderful drama, but this drama happened beside themselves, and some people may be involved at any time to become a member of the performance on the stage, maybe even With the development of the plot, there will be a segment.
Alexander, who witnessed the prologue of the big drama, saw Ron Sophia in the Carolingian Palace.
It has been almost two days since the assassination of Joanna, and Caesar has not sent people over. Although they can leave the turret of the Carolingian Palace, they cannot leave the palace, and Joanna has no news, which makes Alexander Feeling very depressed.
And because of seeing Krian before, Alexander had to be more careful. Although the Carolingian Palace is heavily guarded, there are many people who can enter and exit.
Thinking this, he could not help glancing at Sophia next to him.
Sophia insisted on staying with him, even if Nashan seemed a little angry and did not stay obediently in the turret, so he had to let Sophia put on a bloated robe.
Fortunately, the weather is already cold, so no one knows that Sophia is wearing a very strong inner armor under this rather strange-looking cover.
And she kept gathering on the left arm in the robe, holding the short crossbow.
The Carolingian Palace is not large in size, and it is not so glorious compared to other palaces. At least in Alexander's view, Giovanni's Gilpitz Palace is more magnificent than the Carolingian Palace.
But because it is now the main office of the Vatican to deal with customs, the Carolingian Palace is still very lively.
From the time of Piping's dedication, the church gradually possessed more and more extensive and important worldly powers. These powers ranged from the most direct ownership of land and tax collection rights to the church gradually possessing a large number of various industries. From farms in the countryside to the teaching assets of the city, from the income of large and small monasteries everywhere, to the fleet and chamber of commerce that directly belong to the church. Over the centuries, the huge wealth possessed by the church can even be compared with those of powerful and prosperous countries. If strictly speaking, in terms of scale, no country in the world can have such a large scale of complex and continuous A huge system that is closely and inextricably linked to all aspects.
This is a daunting behemoth. No one can tell how powerful this huge system is, and because of the inexpressible and complicated relationship between this system and the European countries for centuries, even the successive popes have not The way to really understand what terrible power this behemoth has.
Walking in the Carolingian Palace, looking at various languages ​​that come and go, people in different costumes hurried past, and it seems how important it is that everyone has a thing they do Expression, Alexander didn't even think Sophia's dress was too striking.
In particular, after seeing a few travellers obviously wearing the unusually thick and quirky style of the North passing by, Sophia looked down at her less conspicuous dress and moved slightly to the side. He lowered his body, and then took two quick steps forward from being slightly behind to walking side by side with Alexander.
A few men wearing short-leg pants over the knee, but a very wide woolen pullover, passed in a hurry. Their dress looked like they came from the lowlands, which reminded Alexander of Groningen.
I don't know what the lowland nobleman is doing now.
In the impression of Alexander, Groningen is a very simple person. Although he has only met in a hurry and never seen this person again, Alexander has a hunch that the intersection with this person should not stop at Naples Olgala. Madam ’s fragrant girl, perhaps at some point in the future, the money-stricken Dutchman will suddenly appear again, and even even now, the influence of the Dutchman may not be absent.
From the beginning, Alexander suspected that Joanna's decision to suddenly come to the Vatican was related to that Groningen. After all, that person was willing to forgive Joanna from such a large amount of debt, and it was impossible not to ask for a return.
In addition to thinking about the huge sum of unexpected wealth cut off from the hands of the gangsters, Alexander can guess the embarrassment of Joanna in Naples at that time, even if she sold a lot of valuable things, it is unlikely to become so. A huge sum of money.
The money that came to me should be sponsored by someone, and the one who thought about it could take out such a large amount of Durant for Joanna's trip at one time, and it seems that only the richer Groningen of the Hanseatic League .
The main thing is that the money is all Durant.
Although it cannot be said arbitrarily that those who use Durant must be the riches of the Hanseatic League, but if such a large amount of money is to be exchanged for Florin, it will not only be troublesome but may also attract the attention of many people, so in order to be safe Groningen probably would rather give Joanna a whole box of gold Durant.
Think of such a huge sum of money now owned by himself, Alexander is somewhat proud.
But he also knew that if he could not go out from here, even if there was such a sum of money somewhere in the city of Rome waiting to be excavated by himself, it would be empty talk.
It just seems that it is not that simple to leave here.
When the news of the assassination of the Archbishop of Frankfurt reached the Carolingian Palace, it caused quite a stir.
Those who were handling various affairs in the Carolingian Palace were frightened by the news, and then many people became rushed and panicked at once. People began to inquire about the news everywhere, and then began to run around in a mess. Some people shouted their followers aloud, some ran outside to order servants who could not come in outside the palace, and even more simply began writing letters in a hurry at the corner of the palace.
"Ah ~"
Sophia stared blankly at the people like headless flies, and then 抻 抻 Alexander's sleeves, looked at him with questioning eyes, as if asking them what they were busy with.
"They are writing letters," Alexander said casually. "They are probably reporting to their own country and chamber of commerce what happened. After all, it was a major assassination of a bishop. Maybe this will lead to a lot of things."
Speaking of which, Alexander suddenly paused and looked back thoughtfully at those people.
The Carolingian Palace is an organization that handles the church's customary affairs. The so-called customary affairs are actually the property of the church, and these people are almost all businessmen.
The more Alexander thought about it, the more weird it was, and he took Sophia to a man who was busy with what he was writing on the stationery.
The man appeared to be from the north, then Alexander glanced at the letter.
Although the handwriting was scribbled, and only a quick glance, he still saw a few striking words.
"Assassination", "War", "Food" and "Wool".
Obviously, this person attaches great importance to these words. He even made a sign that requires attention after these words, which helps Alexander to notice these things very conveniently.
Seeming to be aware of the eyes cast behind him, the man immediately turned his head to watch the two of Alexander with vigilance, and then he moved his body to block the contents of the letter with his arms.
Sophia glared fiercely at this somewhat stingy guy. Although she didn't know what Alexander was looking at, she was unhappy because of the cover-up.
This is actually the case.
Although vaguely guessed, after seeing it with his own eyes, Alexander was secretly surprised.
These businessmen who do business for the church come to the Vatican from all over Europe, and then hand over the various tax accounts they have to pay to the church to the Carolingian Palace, and then take the church from here and ask them to pay the next year At the same time as the various taxation tasks completed, they also carried out various transactions between themselves. This kind of transaction does not matter to the church or even willing to see it. After all, this kind of transaction itself can also give the Vatican Bring more taxes, not to mention all transactions conducted here must be registered and ordered to pay a certain amount of taxes.
At the same time, as the center of the Christian world, where else can you hear more news than the Vatican?
As long as you can hear more news than others here, it may be a chance to make money much faster than others.
The consequences of the major event of the assassination of the Archbishop of Frankfurt can be astonishing as long as you think about it.
A single assassination may trigger a war, and the war will consume a lot of supplies, a lot of food and the wool fabrics needed to meet the coming winter, and maybe a large number of weapons and horses, and then once the war breaks out Other things that may need to be provided to the local lord, and because the dead is a decisive archbishop, maybe the parishes around the world will also call for the army according to the church's order, which is another huge expense.
The impact of a person's death in such a short period of time is so great, and behind it is the flow of countless wealth.
As the place where the secular property is handled for the church, the Carolingian Palace has become an exchange with an intricate vein.
Looking at the people who were sending people the news after hearing that the Archbishop of Frankfurt was assassinated, Alexander could n’t help but secretly think about it. If he could send someone to send the news back to Agrig quickly at this time, then order Agrig ’s The farm immediately reduced the sale of food to outsiders, and at the same time let Zuosha send people to hold Cosenza's pass to Naples, and at the same time, let Modillo block the channel for selling Naples food early, then when the news reached Naples Later, because of the Naples who were worried about the new war that might be caused by the death of the archbishop, it might be possible for them to kneel on the ground and beg themselves.
By that time, even Frederick had to bow his head to the count in order to cope with the future without knowing what would happen.
It's just that this can only be thought of after all, because he and his people can't even leave the Carolingian Palace now.
Thinking this, Alexander's eyebrows frowned.
Caesar didn't care what he wanted to do with Joanna's assassination, but leaving them in the Carolingian Palace so close to house arrest made Alexander very unhappy.
What's more, it seems that what happened in the city of Rome does not seem to have anything to do with him.
At least this involved Joanna.
Alexander was thinking this way, and suddenly felt Sophia next to him lighten his sleeve again.
Looking at Sophia's gestures, Alexander saw a very conspicuous young man walking quickly. From the man's expression, he could clearly see that he was looking for Alexander.
"Constantin de la Rovere." Alexander whispered the name softly, and then a smile appeared on his face. He was still wondering how he could visit the young noble as soon as possible.
Constantine de la Rovere did come to Alexandria, so although he was a little surprised to see Sophia next to him, after all, the Carolingian Palace could hardly see a woman, but the young nobleman looked only at the same glance Alexander.
"Are you here for me?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, I must see you." The young Luo Weilei nodded.
"For His Majesty Joanna?" Alexander continued to ask.
"Only for His Majesty Joanna!"
Constantine de la Rovere's voice was loud, and it had already attracted the attention of the people passing by. When someone recognized the young nobleman, many people's indifferent eyes became hot.
"Adult, maybe we should talk to a quieter place."
Alexander gave a step to the side and hinted that their conversation had attracted the attention of others, but Constantine continued to say aloud, "I can't wait any longer. It has been two days and Rome has happened." Too many things. But I do n’t care about other things. Maybe you do n’t care about me because of this joke. I ’m going to see Her Majesty Joanna. I need you to help me.

"According to the order of the Bishop of Valencia, I cannot leave the Carolingian Palace, so I can't help you."
Alexander smiled slightly, he understood how much Constantine ’s fanfare was, he wanted more people to know that he was pursuing Joanna, at least in this way, the people of the Pogia family could not be named in the name of protection, in fact Joanna was also placed under house arrest in Lucrezia's palace.
But in this case, Alexander did not mind accompanying him in such a play.
"You are the lord of Naples and the person who protects Her Majesty Joanna. I do n’t know who has the power to prohibit you from protecting your queen ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Constantine said in a slightly angry tone" Unless these people Trying to be detrimental to the Queen of Naples, just like the poor Archbishop of Frankfurt, may the soul of the Archbishop be peaceful in heaven, and may God punish those despicable conspirators, "Speaking of this Constantine ’s emotion suddenly became angry. The Archbishop has suffered misfortune, but I absolutely cannot tolerate His Majesty Joanna also suffered such misfortune, so I came to you to fulfill your mission to protect the Queen, and I am prepared to give my Majesty's life. "
Constantine ’s unscrupulous hint caused an uproar around him. Although people secretly speculated that the death of the archbishop was related to the Borgia family, there was no accusation of surname like this young Luo Weilei. Dare to do this.
Although I would like to hear some useful news, some people have begun to hide from the side because of fear of being involved in something terrible.
Looking at the young Luo Weilei's excitement and indignation, it seemed that in order to love the love at all sight, Alexander secretly pouted his lips and raised his hand to the door of the Carolingian Palace. "About this, maybe you You can talk to the adults of the Bishop of Valencia. "
Constantine de la Rovere turned to look with Alexander's gesture, and then saw Caesar Borgia in a red robe approaching them.
