Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 123: "Alexander Union"

Ulliu's words knocked **** Alexander's heart!

Although it had long been known that Caesar's whereabouts were discovered sooner or later, he did not expect the Pope to find Caesar so quickly and rescue him.

Even Alexander himself did not know where Count Modillo imprisoned Caesar, which gave him a new understanding of the power of Alexander VI.

People always think that the Borgia family only maintains their status by conspiracy and tricks, but often forgets that if there is no real strength, even if conspiracy and tricks are used, they may sometimes be hit hard by opponents.

Even when necessary, the enemy can give up all scruples and use the most direct and most useful method to overthrow Alexander VI with violence.

After all, it ’s not that there has been no pope violently overthrown in the history of the Vatican, and there are not many popes assassinated.

But Alexander VI had been sitting steadily on the Pope's throne, even if people hated him so much that he couldn't contain his anger, but the Borgia family always stood up in Rome when Alexander VI was alive, even a few years later. After Alexander VI killed himself by accident, the Borgia family was not taken advantage of by enemies who hated him.

Careless, really negligent.

Alexandria secretly blamed himself. The over-successful period of time made him a little floating. He even had the illusion that he was manipulating the destiny of everyone. This was a performance that began to be arrogant because he did not encounter setbacks. In his eyes Here, whether it is the pope of the Vatican, the emperor in Vienna, or the king of Paris and the richest man in Europe, these people are dancing with the baton, and he is the one who wrote a magnificent Renaissance movement with the baton. people.

Now Caesar's sudden escape completely broke Alexander's self-intoxication. He knew that once Caesar returned to Rome, all his dependence would disappear completely.

Obviously, the father and son would never care whether the child in Lucrezia's belly had a father or not. History has proven many times that they did not do such a thing.

Seeming to notice the strange look of Alexander, Constantine came over.

Although he did n’t like Alexander, he also knew that the bond between Rovere ’s family and Alexander was getting deeper. At least during this time he saw the great power of the free trade union, even Kang who was not interested in doing business. Constantine also knows that the Luo Weilei family can earn much more money in this short period of time than ever before, it is because of this fiance of Barendi.

"What happened," Constantine whispered. "Tell me if you can tell me."

Looking at Constantine, Alexander's eyes moved, but hesitantly he decided to tell Constantine the truth.

"Caesar escaped from Count Modillo and may now be coming to Rome."

Constantine's face froze, and he began to hear the wrong look, and then his mouth made an unexplained "oh".

"You have to run away quickly, right," Constantine seemed to suddenly understand. He looked at Scolati, who was looking at him not far away. "If you hurry out of town now, I don't think there will be any danger." Yes, I will tell Barendi about you, maybe she can help you take care of the business here, and you should go back to Montina now, right? "

Alexander looked at the uncle in front of him a little unexpectedly, and then he somewhat understood Constantin's thoughts at this time.

Obviously, even those who are obsessed with the spirit of knights will be tempted by money, or they can not be fooled before, just because there is not enough money.

Constantine was obviously thinking of wanting the Rovere family to take over the business in Rome from his hands. Although the method was too simple and straightforward, his actions proved an inference by Alexander.

Now everyone has been more or less involved with his free trade union for various reasons.

Naples, Taranto, some ports in Sicily, Rome, Pisa, Genoa, and even the city states of the recalcitrant German princes in the hinterland of Europe, all of whom had more or less with him because of the establishment of the Free Trade Association Stumbling.

Do the Fuggers want to get back the huge investment they invested before, do the Genoese want to make more profits than before, and the Roman aristocracy and the Vatican's Holy See, are everyone prepared to continue from his free trade union Profits?

As for Kotszach and Gonzalo, who has returned to Iberia, they seem to have only got the opportunity to do perfume business with him, but they want to know them better than anyone, and the transaction between him and them , Has already exceeded the cooperation between ordinary businessmen.

As for the lowland merchants represented by Grogning, whether they are from the Netherlands or his companions in the Hanseatic League, they are well aware that after almost completely offending Philip, who is in power in the Netherlands, they want to continue to be in Netherlands must stand firm and even take the opportunity to contend with the severely damaged Amsterdam, he must have his support and good offices.

Unconsciously, Alexander has woven a strict and fine net for himself. This net may seem to only help him financially, but this net has undoubtedly provided him with a layer of protection.

Even if you think about it carefully, including the Pope himself, they are a key part of this big web.

The credit guarantee provided for the Tiego Exchange makes the Vatican an important part of the FTA, but everyone knows that the premise of this guarantee is the result of Alexander connecting everyone.

The behemoth-like Fugger, the Netherlands with amazing potential, and Frankfurt, which can become a cargo transit point in the entire hinterland of Europe, all started with Rome and these people and places.

It is Alexander who connects these people and things and makes them feel trustworthy. Not the current master of Rome.

It's hard to imagine how the reaction of everyone would be if the pope himself proposed an exchange that was not so reliable. Probably, except that Alexander VI treated everyone as a fool. Someone is willing to give money to this greedy and crazy person.

Alexander VI may spy on the amazing wealth that the exchange can bring, or try to retaliate because of the imprisonment of Caesar, but if the pope is smart enough, then he should know the consequences of doing so.

No one wants to believe a person who is betrayal, especially when his surname is Borgia.

Figured this out, Alexander took a deep breath and smiled at the expectant Constantine: "I think you can go back and tell the Cardinal and Barenti this news first."

"What about you?" Constantine looked at Alexander, who didn't seem to panic.

"Me?" Alexander asked amusingly. "I have to go to the exchange now. It is said that there is a very important customer who wants to do business with the transaction. Tiego is obviously a little uncertain about this matter."

"but……"

"Go tell your father and sister," Alexander said again, believing that Old Rovere and Barenti could see the situation better than Constantine. Maybe they would listen to Constantine's so-called suggestion. Give him a good lesson.

Alexander glanced at his uncle with a bad intention, and then walked to Scolati, who was standing far away.

"Captain, I have to admit that you impressed me a lot," Alexander nodded. "But because of this, we all must know more clearly how important these infantry are in my future army," seeing Scola Nodded in agreement, Alexander went on to say, "So I hope you will start your journey to Livorno now. My army is now stationed there. You can talk to my commander of the army, Aufrei, once your army is full. , We are going to carry out some training methods that you may not have experienced before, and I hope that your Genoese will serve me as soon as possible. "

Scolati bowed slightly, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes, seeming to be excited about the upcoming challenge.

Although he was quite sure that the Pope would not take any drastic measures against himself, when he went out, Alexander still brought in more guards than usual, and he had already asked people to notify Rusha, who was out, as soon as possible. Return to Marino Palace.

Ruosha is going to participate in a charity prayer. Every year during the Lent, the churches around the world will continue to carry out this kind of charity activities aimed at helping the poor. The nobles or rich people will donate some things that they do n’t usually use to donate to the church. The good hall, or donate some money directly to buy food for people who suffer in winter.

It's just that this kind of charity prayer has gradually reduced to a show for the noble and rich to earn a good reputation.

Ruosha had participated in this annual charity prayer with her mother when she was in Naples, but the scale of Ramadan prayer in Rome was obviously much larger than that of Naples.

Ruo Sha did not bring anything useless, the only thing she carried was money.

The brothers and sisters of Count Montina have money, which is known to everyone in the city of Rome today.

Ruosha stood on a small platform slightly higher than other places beside the square, looking at the crowded crowd below.

The snow on the square has turned countless feet into large pieces of snow mud, and there is black mud that turns up on one foot, and people's boots and skirts are smeared with dirty marks. Some people are still crowded together, pushing each other to curse and fight.

A maid took care of the hem of the skirt with a little bit of mud for Ruo Sha. It was said that this skirt was designed for the young lady by Earl Lord. Looking at the skirt with a unique style, the maid looked at it strangely. Ruosha.

The maid didn't quite understand, how could the young lady agree to go out in this style of skirt.

This is because this dress that looks like a skirt is actually a pair of pants.

The wide skirt embellished with countless lace and various ornaments is actually connected in the middle by a few ribbons that look like ornaments. Once needed, as long as the ribbon buckle is untied, the entire skirt will become With two huge trousers, this design made the tailor who made the clothes froze for a long time. After repeatedly confirming that the count was indeed correct, the tailor started blankly cutting this piece of clothing he had never seen.

"Poor people are everywhere," a lady came over and said in a slightly affectionate tone, "Miss Count, you are such a kind person, I heard that you gave a lot of money to these poor people, I'm sorry I might want to sweep your interest By the way, the poor are poor because of God ’s arrangement, just as God gave us the status of nobles and sent us kings, so even if you give them money, these poor people will be doomed not to be happy, on the contrary Will cause them trouble. "

Luo Sha looked at the lady, and she recognized that the woman seemed to be the wife of a cleric, but this woman's status should not be high, because Luo Sha had no impression of her.

"You're right, madam, poverty is indeed God's arrangement, and I just want more poor people to know who can make them better."

Having finished speaking, Ruo Sha no longer ignored the women around her, lifted her skirt carefully and walked down the steps beside the platform.

"What are you going to do, Miss, are you going to be among them," the maid panicked. She was worried that the lady might be hurt. Looking at the crowd with a dirty body, a cold or irritable look, the maid followed her with fear. Behind, and then anxiously looking around looking for the guards brought by Ruo Sha.

Fortunately, she soon saw several prominently dressed hunting guards approaching them.

"Don't have a family, don't be weak, and don't look too shrewd," Ruosha muttered gently in his mouth. This was what Alexander told her before coming here.

"It seems to be a group of stupid people who can work as long as they can." In the end, Luo Sha himself summed up such a conclusion.

Ruosha walked to a few men and looked at them. They were all dirty. There were two people without hats. Large pieces of hair were stuck together. It looked like there were some dirty pieces hanging on the top of the head. Tiles.

But these people seemed very strong, and they saw Rusha coming towards them. They were arguing and shoving with each other. They stopped and looked at Rusha slowly approaching with strange eyes.

Ruosha is tall, and at this point she is still very proud, so that she can look at other women with a look down.

But these people are obviously very burly, and Ruosha has no advantage standing in front of them, and even seems to have aroused several interests.

"Honorable lady, do you have any orders to come here?" A man opened his mouth first, his gaze looked at Rusha, teasing in his eyes.

"Don't be too shrewd." Ruosha whispered to her, and looked at the other people.

"Why don't you look down upon me, or do you like it more ..."

The man stepped forward to say something, but a hunting guard had rushed up and slammed the man's stomach with the sturdy handle of his hand. When the man screamed and knelt down, the hunting guard raised the scabbard, Cut it **** his neck!

The man screamed and fell, his face stuck in the mud, and when he tried to raise his head, a gloved hand grabbed his hair and pressed his head into the dirty again. In the dirty mud.

"I'm hiring workers, capable and obedient workers," Ruosha didn't look at the struggling men on the ground in front of him, just swept across the faces of the men who were uneasy. "I'll pay you enough money, But signing the contract must obey the order, otherwise it will be fined ten times. "

"Miss, what do you want us to do," a man asked hesitantly. "We are not sailors, and we don't want to fight for our lives by fighting."

Listening to the man's slightly uneasy words, Ruosha's mouth twitched slightly.

"As long as you work for me in the field, you can rest assured that I can assure you that you do n’t have to worry about anything other than the hard work that may be very hard, and you can get more than anywhere else. Much more compensation. "

The people around looked at Ruosha in amazement. From their eyes, they could see that some of them did not understand what a young and beautiful young noble lady recruited a large number of workers.

Because of suspicion, no one stood up to answer for a while.

Ruo Sha's beautiful golden eyebrows frowned slightly.

Although she has always been more dazzling than men, she seems that no one can really know her value. Even Tiego sometimes consciously or unintentionally likened her talent to "the gift of God." .

Only Alexander sees everything she does as the result of her wisdom.

"Take it." Luo Sha waved slightly to the follower.

An attendant took a heavy wooden box to those people and placed it on the ground, then opened the lid and kicked the box.

With a clatter, a pile of gold coins shining with golden light spilled out of the box and fell into the mud.

There was a whisper immediately around.

"You can get paid when you sign a contract," Ruosha looked at those people. "I know you can get some food from Shantang now, but how do you survive the whole winter to come, and I believe you and your family, Do you want them to starve with you too? "

There was a whispering discussion among the people, and the gold coins on the ground and the words of Luo Sha made them start to move.

"Miss, I can work, but I can't do anything except farming," a man said tentatively.

"That's good, count you," Ruosha nodded, and she motioned for the follower to pick up a gold coin from the ground and tuck it into the man's hand. "You are the first, so I reward you a gold coin alone."

Looking at the muddy gold coins in the man's hands, people's eyes became hot. They first used their eyes to discuss with each other, and then someone followed them.

More and more people came to Ruosha's side. Ruosha waved her hand to indicate that the people who followed came to take over her work. Then she lifted the skirt and walked carefully on the snow.

A priest came over, he first crossed a cross, and then walked along the road slowly with her after making the invitation gesture.

"Miss Count, I really don't know how to express your kind compliments to you," the priest said with a little excitement. "We all know that these poor people will become a disaster in the city of Rome if too many, and there will be a large number of beggars and refugees every year. Entering the city of Rome, especially if some people came from other places, it would be too much trouble if you let them stay in the city. You are willing to arrange them now, which is really an admirable move. "

"I just replaced my brother to do something for His Majesty the Pope," Ruosha said in a disdainful tone. "After all, he is serving His Majesty the Pope."

The priest responded with a weird whisper. Although everyone knew that the relationship between the Pope and Alexandria was so complicated that it was impossible to say at all, he heard Ruosha say that his brother was serving the Pope. Unspeakable funny.

Fortunately, he didn't come here to inquire.

"Miss Count, I have to remind you that many of these people are foreigners. We don't know if they are honest in their hometown," said the pastor, deliberately lowering his voice. "Specially we found that some of them came from Florence ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Miss, of course you know, that place in Florence is now ruled by Savonarola. "

Listening to the pastor, Ruosha suddenly had some interest in the origin of these refugees.

"Some of them came from Florence?" Of course, Rosa would not forget Alexander's promise to her.

"Not many," the priest whispered slightly. "You know, the situation in Florence is said to be terrible. Many Florentines have already left the city."

The priest still kept talking and talking, and Ruosha was no longer interested in what he said below. She whispered to a guard to pick a few more Florentines among the refugees. She believed that Alexander would be interested in these words.

"Please rest assured that the pastor, I can assure you that these people will work very honestly for us," said Ruosha, looking at the direction of the exchange when she said, "I believe my brother treats them Arrangement, there will be no trouble. "

Just as Rusha was picking and selecting satisfactory workers on the “Refugee Human Resources Market” in Rome, Alexander was receiving an exceptionally distinguished guest at the Tiego Exchange.

When the guest placed a thick pile of burlap paper on the table, Alexander glanced at Tiego, who was agitated and nervous.

At this time, he also understood why Tiego, who had seen the storms and waves, was so calm, after all, a business that might involve a million dinars really needed to be cautious.

"It seems that you have decided to talk about this business with our exchange, so respected Vizier, can I do something for you?"

Alexander asked Ashurk, who was sitting opposite, smiling.
