Vol 3 Chapter 38: "Family Book"

According to the agreement with the French, the order meeting chose the daily office location in a house in Trajan Square, not far from the city hall. This is a building with four gates facing the street, and a total of more than 20 sizes on 3 floors The building of the room. (Pinyin of biqiwu)
The reason why the French insisted that the Order Conference place their office here was obviously not good. Although the establishment of the Order Conference meant that the private arms of the Roman nobles who had been banned had been restored, the French obviously I still hope that the situation will not become too difficult to control, and even if necessary, they can directly affect or even threaten this emerging organization.
No matter what the French thought, the order meeting was held.
According to regulations, the order meeting is composed of a panel of 39 people. As the first initiators of the meeting, these people will have seats in the panel for a long time until they think the time is ripe. A stock pick with participation of all members will be held within the meeting, resulting in a new 39-member group for the next session.
As a power organization that safeguards the safety and well-being of all people in the city of Rome, the order system of its 39-member regime will continue in this way. Even if the French leave, it will not be disbanded, but will be aimed at the safety of the Romans. Keep it all the time.
As the first founder and chief, Caesar Borgia has shown extraordinary ambition from the beginning.
The 39-member regiment is a parliament rather than an office organization, so the order meeting is actually equivalent to the responsibility for Rome ’s daily security to the Caesar who presided over the meeting, or to the Borgia family because Giovanni and Jeff Li also successively claimed to be able to work here as usual.
The house on Trajan Square that people call the Palace of Order now became busy immediately.
Caesar once again showed generosity. He donated a considerable amount of money for the order meeting to build this office site. Before the large-scale repairs had begun, he decided to build a huge building on Trajan Square Stepped fountain, the entire fountain must be at least 40 feet high, and when Caesar said that the entire fountain needs a variety of beautiful marble reliefs and separate sculpture groups based on Greek mythology, Alexander thought about it It is most appropriate for cheerful kiero to complete this project.
Alexander saw Caesar's unusual interest in the conference of order, but think about it as an organization that has mastered the Armed Forces of Rome. It can be said that it has been developing in the direction of the highest authority, and as the chief member of it And the actual executor of the conference, Caesar has undoubtedly taken his first step towards the goal of the Roman ruler.
Alexander has a small office in the Palace of Order. According to the division of responsibilities previously determined, he is mainly responsible for maintaining the security of the Caracalla district in southeast Rome. In fact, it is a Roman city centered on the Marino Palace.
This was obviously a reward for Caesar to him. As the "Caesarism" recognized in the Order Conference, Alexander even ignored Giovanni, who also had a significant influence.
As for Jeffrey, it seemed to Alexander that he was a purely spoiled bear child, but this bear child might suddenly become dangerous at some point.
At this time, Alexander was holding an application in his hand. The content of this application was that a small noble asked him to join the order meeting, and applied to the meeting for a small guard composed of 5 to 8 people.
This is one of the day-to-day work of the order meeting, reviewing various requirements to join the organization in the form of a guild, and then can propose all registered mercenaries and private guards that are uniformly assigned by the meeting.
From this perspective, the Order Conference is now a large mercenary guild with a monopoly.
Looking at this earnest speech and even some flattering applications, look at the withdrawal certificate with a beautiful fancy signature sandwiched in it. The meaning above is basically that this withdrawal proof can be used by a Jew There was a reward, and Alexander smiled slightly.
This is obviously a bribe.
The power of the Order Conference is to deploy all the mercenaries in the city of Rome, and it is absolutely forbidden for nobles to self-organize their guards without permission.
This made many people obliged to take orders with this meeting, and they were eager to acquire armed rights, naturally not just to protect their home in Rome.
More people are hoping to provide protection for their chamber of commerce.
The French banned the Romans from possessing their own force because of fear of rebellion. This caused many chambers of commerce to suffer for a time.
In order to ensure the safety of the caravan's transportation roads, these chambers of commerce had to recruit mercenaries from other places at high prices, but these mercenaries were unreliable and sometimes even led wolves into the room.
The emergence of order meetings now allows them to see hope, and being able to grab power in front of others means that they can grab good business faster.
So all kinds of applications flooded everyone's desk like a piece of snow.
But Alexander knew that Caesar's purpose was of course not just to be the head of a mercenary guild. His ambition was great, and he was fulfilling it step by step.
If there is a person who is clearly Caesar today, it is Alexander.
It is estimated that even his father, Alexander VI, may not fully understand what his beloved son thinks. The Pope wanted to let his son inherit his position and push him to the throne of the future pope, but Caesar obviously became Religious leaders are not so interested. He prefers to be the ruler in the secular society. In this regard, Alexander is doing what he wants.
In short, whether it is for Alexander or Caesar, it is the "honeymoon period" that satisfies both of them.
So when Caesar offered to invite Alexander to the Potico Palace to participate in the ball hosted by his sister Lucrezia, Alexander gladly accepted.
It was just that he declined Caesar's invitation to bring his family or female companions. This is because Caesar's reputation as a woman was not so good. Alexander didn't want him to move his brain after seeing Sophia.
Because he wanted to participate in the banquet of the famous Borgia family in Rome, Alexander returned to Marino Palace and immediately ordered to find the best tailor in the city. After the clothes, he successfully established the image of an upstart in front of the Romans.
The business with the Rovere family brought a lot of benefits to Alexandria. In addition to dragging the Rovere family onto his boat, and also completed the mission of helping the French to continue in Italy, another advantage is that This business, which was deliberately or unintentionally disclosed, helped him successfully wash away the huge amount of money he got from Joanna.
Before, Alexander had been worried about how to make this money appear in front of people without doubt. Although Joanna ’s loss was not known to many people, if he suddenly became wealthy inexplicably, someone would inevitably find the connection. Be suspicious.
And if a large amount of money can't move, it will not only be the same as not, but it will also cause doubts and even change over time.
Alexander did not believe in loyalty for no reason, and he believed that no one had the right to demand unconditional loyalty to others. The kind of thinking that others follow themselves is completely unreasonable, and it is actually selfishness.
He needs to pay the Bohemians, he needs to honor the promises of the Agris, and he must strengthen the equipment of his army as much as possible, regardless of the farms in Agri or the ones he is planning to build The Chamber of Commerce that belongs to him in Naples also needs financial support.
These all require money to cause headaches, one by one in front of the eyes, but there is a lot of money at hand that can not be used, which is a torment for Alexander,
Well now, the business with the Luo Weilei family makes everything natural.
Money is spent, and it is an upstart flower. When people turn the topic to how much he made in that business, and how long it will take to suddenly find that he has become a poor man again, Alexander is right Quietly divert the money to those directions that will not be doubted by various means.
As for someone who would guess where the food might go, Alexander was not worried.
After all, it was the Rovere family who handed over the food to the French, so no one would find himself pointing at him and scolding the traitor or the traitor.
Everything went so smoothly, Alexander even felt that this was the most pleasant time for him since coming to this era.
But he didn't float.
Alexander has never forgotten that he is in Rome, in the whirlpool center of what is right and wrong in Europe.
And the letter that Earl Modillo wrote to him also caught his attention.
So after having the tailor tailor some clothes for Sophia, and then taking the opportunity to send her away, Alexander wrote a letter to Ruo Sha.
Since leaving Naples, he has temporarily broken contact with Ruosha, but before leaving, he has left her with the good things to be done by Luosha, and although the Earl's letter does not mention those Things, according to the description in Thaksin, Ruosha did well during this time.
"A lot of hoarding food and all kinds of food that can be preserved for a long time, especially pigs and cows, you can consider making them bacon, so that because they can be preserved for a long time and sell a better price. I have a hunch, the Venetian requirements will It ’s a great opportunity for us, and I also noticed their attention to Taranto, which is similar to our previous plan in many places. Of course, the Venetians want to consider more or want a fleet that can guarantee their fleet. The line of safe navigation, and what we ask for is a huge unified market that can be formed along the northern coast of the Mediterranean. Believe me, the formation of this free trade market will play an unimaginable role. In fact, the Lovere family in Genoa has decided to participate Our plan comes, and the Venetian ’s pressing situation today is a good thing for us. I think you can send someone to Taranto to strengthen the connection with Earl Hosson. Our office in Taranto should be It worked. I believe that Earl Hossen has now discovered anomalies from the Venetian's behavior, this time let him know The benefits of our goodwill and cooperation, clearly helped make him more inclined to agree with our proposal ...... "
"My dear sister, I believe in your wisdom. From the moment you decide to become the lordess of Cosenza, I seem to see a beautiful and majestic countess standing in front of me, and you Did not disappoint me. As the lord of Cosenza you become the link between Agri and Naples, and I hope you can play a greater role in the future. Cosenza in the future is by no means just the Plain of Agri The protector of the grain storage area, but the hub connecting all the ports and docks in the south, and you are the irrefutable hostess of this key territory. I ca n’t forget the heroic attitude when you wear gorgeous armor. This is heaven. One of the best gifts for me. But I still recommend that you do n’t wear those armours in the future, because they are too beautiful for your beauty and too eye-catching, and this gift of heaven should not be seen by too many unrelated people. To. "
Writing here, Alexander looked at the letter and thought about it. He always felt that something was wrong, and then thought about it carefully to understand where the problem was.
Inexplicably, a correspondence that discussed the idea of ​​career development seemed to make him a love letter, but also a love letter to "sister".
This is too weird, even embarrassing.
Originally wanted to tear off the letter, but hesitated or stopped.
After finally sending someone to send such a letter, Alexander came to Sophia's room.
In fact, the two lived next door with a door in between.
At this time, the tailor was holding a huge pattern than in front of Sophia. This pattern was made according to the style of the clothes in a one-to-one ratio. ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ The color and decoration on the top are also the same as possible. Sophia stands The pattern looks behind the mirror and looks like a moving doll.
Seeing Alexandria, Sophia's eyes instantly bent into two crescent moons. She smiled and walked around behind the pattern, then opened her arms to make a hug.
After seeing the black face of Nashan who was not far away, Alexander had to look around, and then he patted Sophia's head.
"Despite choosing the clothes you like and eating less sweets, if I'm too fat, I won't be able to hold you" After waiting quietly in Sophia's ear, Alexander said to Nashan, "Why not let the tailor give Do you make some clothes? "
"I don't wear that kind of clothes," Nashan disgusted with the paper patterns that stood aside. "We will conquer women with the charm of men, instead of dressing up with these bells and whistles. This looks disgusting."
"A man's charm," looking at the confident old man, Alexander whispered, "You need these things now."
