Vol 4 Chapter 107: Grogning

Constantine left the Palace of Marino without even attending the dinner, and he was a little annoyed when walking, or rather unwilling.
Kotzach has a close relationship with Alexander. He knows it, or should add Gonzalo, who just left Rome. These two Roman "conquerors" are very rare. They maintain a kind of relationship with Alexander more than others. Close relationship.
This is also the reason why many people are interested in Alexander.
Think of the previous two people who helped Alexander avoid Caesar's pursuit, and then think about the business that they seem to be doing with Alexander. Many people are more interested in this young man.
When Constantine returned home, seeing his father and uncle were waiting for him, this made him even more annoyed. He felt that he had messed up things this time. The thing that annoyed him most was that it was the end. Alexander also did not give him an accurate answer.
Listening to Constantine carefully talking about the meeting, old Luo Weilei looked at the brother next to him.
"I said that it would be the result," Old Rovere did not seem angry, but instead seemed to have been prepared for the frustration his son encountered. "That Alexander is difficult to deal with."
The bishop put his hands in his wide sleeves and looked at the annoyed nephew who stood in front of him. After thinking about it, he said to the old Rovere: "Maybe we sent the wrong person, maybe Barenti will get things done. too much."
Old Luo Weilei looked at his brother and did not speak. In fact, he knew very well that the brother said well, or he knew from the beginning that he should send his daughter instead of his son to deal with Alexander.
"I had hoped that he was a member of Rovere's family," Old Rovere whispered, a bit low in tone. "It seems that we all misunderstood that Gombre before. He wanted much more than we thought. "
"He is now the Earl of Montina," said the Archbishop of Genoa. "I will return to Genoa tomorrow. The election of the consul is about to start. I have to guarantee the interests of our Rovere family."
Old Luo Weilei nodded, he knew that this matter was the most important for the family, could not tolerate a little slip.
"Relax I think about it and let Constantine go back with you. I really know that the Calgino family has been moving a lot recently. After all, the young man in their family just defeated the Venetian not long ago, which made all Calginos All became a little excited, "Old Rovere looked at Constantine who was about to speak." I have decided that you and your uncle will go back to Genoa. As for me, I will take Barenti to stay in Rome. "
Constantine nodded helplessly. He knew that his father could not change since he had decided.
"Constantine is still too young," the Bishop of Genoa sighed softly. "The pursuit of honor made him forget too much."
"So I asked you to take him back to Genoa," Old Rovere stood up and walked to the window to look at the night view outside. "You know, something unsettles me. I heard some rumors from France, it seems that the Borgia family Are secretly dealing with the French. "
"how can that be!"
The Archbishop stood up with a strange look. For the Rovere family, the biggest reliance was the support from the French, which allowed them to return after being driven out of Rome, and even played the role of the old Rovere on the cardinal throne. It is now heard that their enemies are actually hooking up with the French, which cannot but upset the archbishop.
The influence of the Rovere family is now obviously not as good as before. The French had colluded with the Borgia family at this time, which was a great blow to the Rovere family.
Old Rovere was walking back and forth in the room, he needed to think about it.
"You said, why did Cambrai return to Rome, I know he wouldn't be so stupid, but what is his purpose?" Old Rovere looked at his brother. "We all know what he did in Pisa, and the news from Tony. Said he did become the owner of Pisa. If it was n’t too late, maybe now he would let that Tomnio give way to him or his children. "
Speaking of this old Luo Weilei frowned, Pisa has now become a dazzling pearl in all the cities on the coast of Lenian, but from the current situation, it is likely that Luke Rezia will eventually become the owner of this pearl. The child in the belly.
Why did Alexander insist on keeping Lucrezia in Pisa, and it seemed that she was going to let her produce there, in fact, many people have already seen this.
Even in the eyes of many people, Alexander VI seemed to maintain an acquiescence in this matter. After all, it was only good for the Pogia family.
"Maybe he hopes to make peace with the Borgia family," the Archbishop of Genoa said a little uncomfortably. "If that would be a very bad thing for us, maybe we should announce the dissolution of his marriage to Barenti. At least that way, he would have to give up the status of Count Montina. We cannot allow a Borgia to occupy our territory, nor can we allow the power of Borgia to reach Romagna. "
"What are you talking about?" Old Rovere suddenly paused, and he noticed his brother's words. "You are right, but not all right. Maybe things are not what we thought. Judging from what Gombre did, you think Is he really going to make peace with Borgia? "
The bishop groaned. Of course he could see that things were not exactly as he said. The fact that Alexander had taught the Pope's army hard in Liwo was there.
"But why did he come to Rome," the bishop asked in doubt, "Aren't he afraid of being detained, although he uses Caesar as a hostage, but that's not safe ..."
"I don't know," Old Rovere's gray brows were slightly frowned. He didn't like the feeling that he couldn't guess. This made him feel like he was blocked by a door, and he couldn't figure out the people inside. What to do "Maybe I should let Barendi go to see him."
Bishop glanced at the old Rovere, he knew that his brother actually said that he was acquiescing in the new relationship between Alexander and Rovere's family.
All along, because he was able to inherit the Montina territory and knighthood after being engaged to Barendi, Alexander was regarded as a part of the Luo Weilei family.
Because of this, it can be said that Old Rovere could successfully become a cardinal, and it has a lot to do with the series of actions of Alexander. Whether it is the victory of the Romagna War or the nearly annexation of Pisa, these are regarded as the Rovere family expanding their power Various initiatives.
Because of this, Constantine would naturally think that the Alexander Conference would gladly accept their proposal.
But Alexander's reaction showed the old Luo Weilei brothers to see other meanings.
Apparently, Alexander told them clearly that they can cooperate but not be vassals.
Let Constantine go to see Alexander, it means that there is a layer of family, and if you let Barendi go, it is to acquiesce that he and the Luo Weilei family are equal and not dependent.
The bishop ’s thumbs in his sleeves wrap their thumbs around each other. He knows that unlike what he suggested to Barendi to see Alexander, his brother would say that it was a decision.
"3000 people, what does he want to do?" Old Rovere looked at the Archbishop as if he remembered it. "I remember he should have an army of about 2,000 people now."
"Yes."
A noble whose territory is not large, needs an army of 5000 people?
Luo Weilei brothers looked at each other, they could not help but reveal a little doubt.
"There are not many 5,000 people."
While the Luo Weilei brothers were pondering what a 5,000-person army meant, Alexander was grinning bitterly at the Kotschah sitting opposite.
"Accurately speaking, I need more troops than this," Alexander Xiang Gongxiang made a helpless gesture. "You probably can't imagine the trouble I might encounter. To know whether it is Montina or Pisa, These places are too sensitive. Anyone can pose a threat to me. "
Kotschacher thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"I'm not blind," Gong Xiang said with a smile. "Those places really need to be vigilant at all times, such as the Vatican, Venice, and," he glanced at Alexander "Genoa."
"Please don't forget Milan, sir." Alexander replied, "I know that the Duke of Milan has always been supported by the empire. Of course, little people like me dare not offend the emperor, but this does not mean that I can allow someone to invade me. Territory, so I need so many troops to guard against all the enemies that may appear. "
Hearing Alexander's unabashed words, Kotzach stretched out his fingers and rubbed his shiny head.
"I know you have been vigilant against Milanese, but it has nothing to do with our business," when talking about business, Gong Xiang's eyes slowly light up. "Gonzalo has taken away your perfume, I think he wants to Dedicated to his queen, as long as the queen likes it, he can make a fortune quickly. Now let's talk about the business between us, when are you going to supply me? "
"I think you must find a noble person who can help you."
Alexander said with a smile, he knew from the beginning that Gonzalo would dedicate perfume to the queen. Worried that perfume will not sell in Castilla and Aragon.
It was Kotschah. He couldn't figure out who the palace meeting would recommend perfume to after a while. After all, there are many nobles whom the palace meets. In addition to the big nobles in the Vienna court, there are also many nobles from other regions. Of "potential customers".
"I sent someone to send them to Vienna," Kotzach said. "There are still some of me left."
The last sentence of Miyazaki caught Alexander ’s attention. He knew that Kotzczah should have left the perfume for his own use. Obviously Miyazaki took a fancy to the big market of Rome.
"Do n’t look at my count so much, I know you wo n’t care about making such a small money in a place like Rome," Kotzach pouted at Alexander. "So, what are you going to do with me."
"Adult, what do you think would happen if you set up an exchange in Frankfurt?"
Kotschacher's expression slowly rose, he leaned forward to look at Alexander: "Are you serious?"
"Yes, very serious." Alexander also looked dignified. "I have suggested that the Pope establish an exchange in Rome. One of my men has already arrived in Rome. Perhaps you have heard of his name, Matthews Thiegó. "
"Yes, I know that person, a guy who was noticed by many people when he first arrived in Rome, he should be in the Carolingian palace now, right?"
Alexander was not surprised by the well-informed Kotschah. In fact, the imperial palace image that had been perverted in Rome all the year round was actually the line of sight sent by Emperor Maximian to Rome. Chong was only sent to do the drudgery, but he was specifically inquiring about the news, which would not be wrong.
"Pisa is just a small port, but it can create such a miracle. What do you think if this miracle is in Frankfurt?"
Kotschacher was silent. He knew what Alexander meant, but because he knew it, he could not answer it for a while.
Because as long as you think about it, Gong Xiang felt that the answer made him tremble.
"Why is Frankfurt," Gong Xiang finally asked, "I have noticed your pizza, he is a port, which means you want to rely on your maritime chamber called the free trade zone to help you do these things," Ke Tszach had completely calmed down at this time. "Why not choose another place, because the emperor can order any German lord, so tell me why it must be Frankfurt?"
Can I order any German lord?
Emperor Maximian may only be so powerful in his dreams.
Listening to Miyazaki ’s words, Alexander wanted to ridicule him, but he still held back, after all, this person in front of him is a key person who can bring him unimaginable wealth.
"Frankfurt has very convenient river traffic, which allows our goods to be sent to the European continent in the most convenient and convenient way. Frankfurt can become our hub for the advancement of Europe. Those rivers will bring us a huge sum of money. Fortune, as for the port you mentioned, I already have a very suitable choice, but these also need your help. "
"What should I do?" Kotszach asked carefully, and he had begun to think that things might be a little beyond his expectations.
After all, if things really do, as Alexander said, establish a hub in Frankfurt that leads to the inland Europe, and then use this hub base to proceed to the entire European continent, even if you think about it, people will be suffocated by excitement.
"I may need help from the Hanseatic League."
Alexander noticed a slight change in the look on Kotzach ’s face, but he continued as if he did n’t see it:
You know that the Hanseatic League has strong powers at sea, even now they do n’t seem to be as good as before. However, they are still the most powerful trade union in Europe. Being able to use their maritime transportation power will help us unimaginably. So I need you to exert influence to facilitate the signing of agreements with those German lords. "
Kotschammer looked at Alexander silently, and he is now sure that this is the real purpose of Alexander ’s constant contact with him.
Only facilitated an agreement between the Hanseatic League and those German lords, which made Kotzchah somewhat ridiculous.
"Earl, I think I already know your plan, but do n’t you think your idea is a bit unrealistic," Gong Xiang felt that it was better to explain the words, perhaps dismissing his thoughts early, and let everyone ’s ideas Business is on a more profitable road as soon as possible. "You know, those princes have built more tax cards than trees in the forest. Even the emperor can't let them cancel those tax cards. As far as I know, your self The Trade Zone Chamber of Commerce is almost completely tax-free internally. Do you think those German princes will accept your proposal? "
Looking at Kotschach ’s slightly ironic look, Alexander was secretly a little surprised, but he did n’t expect Palace to be so familiar with his free trade zone. Aroused the attention of many people.
"I don't need them to exempt me from tax, as long as they can establish an agreement with me," Alexander looked at Miyazaki's eyes. "You can look at my plan first. In addition, I have already thought about you myself. I I am going to invite you or an important person in your family to become the first director of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. "
Miyazaki's body lifted up slightly, as if he wanted to stand up, but he finally sat down slowly and restrainedly, but he still reached out and took a document from Alexander.
After a little hesitation, Gong Xiang finally opened the file and looked at it silently.
There was a lot of noise from the hall outside, which was Joanna entertaining guests.
The figure flashed, and Ruo Sha appeared at the door. She wore a long skirt embroidered with cumbersome roses on her chest. Those magnificent roses and her blonde hair that shone with golden light like the morning light set off each other, making her look like Stand in the light.
Alexander's heart jumped slightly, if not someone next to him, he would walk over to hug and kiss the lovely "sister" in front of him.
"There is a lady who wants to see you," Ruosha collapsed her face deliberately, seeing Alexander stunned and quickly glanced at the palace next to her, looking down at the document, and then she smiled and said, "It should be said that I want to see you two EbookFREE.me ~ That is Mrs. Olgala. "
"I'm sorry, I may not have time to see my wife now," Gong Xiang said and nodded to Alexander. "These things are very useful. Now I think maybe your idea is not so impossible."
"Then we should meet Mrs. Olgala even more," Alexander stood up and said to the somewhat puzzled Miyazaki, and looked to Ruosha. "Let me guess, maybe the lady is not alone. "
"Yes, she also brought a guest." Ruosha walked over and took Alexander's arm, seemingly and unintentionally rubbing his arm with his chest. "That's the lowlander named Grogening."
"A lowlander?" Kotschah asked in amazement. "What do you invite a lowlander to do? They are both reckless and vulgar farmers and small citizens."
"If you think this plan can be realized, maybe this person should have met."
Alexander did not correct the view of the palace's relatively lowlanders. His eyes crossed the hall to the door.
There, Mrs. Olgala whispered with a few people, standing next to her, Groningen, whose shoulders collapsed slightly.
Seemed to feel something, Groningen turned his head slightly and looked over.
In an instant, the eyes of the two collided together. ...
