The Rise of the European Emperor

As soon as the wedding banquet ended, Sigmund I did not rush into the cave, but took Marin to an unmanned place in the backyard of the palace, and retreated.

Then, Siegmont I instantly changed from a majestic king to a wealth fan ...

I saw Siegmont I rubbed his hands, looked at Marin with a low smile, and asked with expectation:

"Second Uncle, I think you can make a lot of money selling such whiskey as hard as you do?"

"What do you want to do?" Marin asked with a watchful look at Sigmund I.

"The so-called" seeing have a share ", not to mention, Poland and Lithuania are my territories. See ... Do you share me a little ... hehe ..."

"This is not a robber who divides stolen goods. What is it that you have a share?" You are also a monarch of two great powers. Is it good to see money so openly? "Marin looked at Siegmont I with a disdainful face.

"Hey, don't say me. You are a grand duke, don't you personally sell wine at my wedding reception?" Sigmund I was not annoyed, but replied with a salivated face.

Malin was choked, but said angrily:

"You are both monarchs of two great powers. Why do you want to hit my wine business? Do you want to put a face on it? Besides, this time I married Anne to you. I lost money. The 50-car chaperone, The total value is more than 200,000 gold coins! What a terrible thing! I love the dead man! And the fertilizer supply of your estate ... "

"Don't tell me, I really believe in your business vision of your second uncle. This time I can work for your elders to come forward and sell it personally. It must be a big business. Take care of your brother-in-law?"

Business, why share with you? Give me a reason first ... "Marin asked squinting. The spirits business is big business, but he is not willing to cut love.

Sigmund I knew that Marin valued this business, so the desire to blend in was even stronger. He is not a fool. After thinking for a while, he found his value:

"I am the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, I can help you sell whiskey. I have this king to help promote, such as designating whiskey as a royal drink, is it not better than your sales?" By the way, Sigmund I also learned some business experience. For example, the idea of ​​designating special drinks was learned during the last visit in East Friesland.

Marin thought for a while, what is so special. In this era, fashion is that the big noble imitates the king, the little noble imitates the big noble, the rich imitates the little nobility, and the poor imitates the rich ... layer by layer, with a strict hierarchy ... There are monarchs of the two great powers, Sigmund I If you go out and help publicize it yourself, the sales will definitely be better ...

So, Marin reluctantly nodded:

"Okay, I will share your 10% profit ..."

"No, too few, at least 40%!" Sigmund I said shamelessly.

Marin jumped up immediately:

"I test, I only know the method of making this kind of spirits, and the food is also made by myself. You can use your mouth to help publicize, how can you have 40% of your face? I will give you at most 20%, otherwise I will avoid talking!"

"Don't tell me, listen to me! I can help you not only in Poland and Lithuania, but also in other countries!"

"You mean ..." Marin seemed to think of something.

"Yes, the Bohemian and Hungarian kingdoms ruled by my eldest brother are also great markets for spirits! Bohemians may not be as fond of spirits as the Poles, but the Magyar of Hungary are standard prairie barbarians. , The most favorite is spirits. With my help, selling spirits in these two kingdoms can definitely increase sales! So, you have to give me 30% profit. After all, I have to manage my big brother Vladisra Sri Lankan. "

Malin thought about it and nodded. Money is never made, and it is even more undesirable for a person to want to swallow the benefits alone. The Jagiellonian dynasty is currently influential. Although there is no real power in Poland and Lithuania, the influence of the family is very powerful. What's more, in the Kingdom of Bohemia and Hungary, the Jagiellonian dynasty is also very influential. If there is a royal family in these four powerful countries to help sell wine, it will really increase a lot of sales.

As for the problem of adequate drinking? This is not a problem. Today, the areas of the Jutland Peninsula, Bremen and West Friesland, which are very suitable for agriculture, are under control. Although new technologies and new fertilizers are not available because of spring cultivation, the future grain output will definitely explode. At that time, the raw materials for brewing rye Erguotou are not lacking.

What's more, the North American colony has begun to operate. In the future, there will be more sufficient food to make wine. Therefore, the supply of wine is not a problem. As long as the markets of these four big countries are opened, it can be foreseen that the financial resources will be rolled in. Taking 70% of your own profits, even if 30% is given to the Jagelon family, it's no big deal.

Moreover, for the distribution of money to the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary, Marin is also willing, which involves some plans of Marin ...

In the near future, Marin can expect that Ottoman Turkey will march into the Balkans as historically, and the Kingdom of Hungary will bear the brunt.

Because of Marin's intervention, the Habsburg family lost the opportunity to unite the Spanish-American Empire, and its strength must be far less than the historical golden age of connecting the Spanish Empire and Shinra.

Under such circumstances, even if the Habsburg family won the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia, it may not be able to withstand the siege of the Ottoman Turkish hundreds of thousands of troops.

Whether the Habsburg family can withstand the Ottoman Turkish offense, financial resources are the key factor. During the period of Charles V, the Habsburg dynasty relied on the gold and silver looted by Spain from the Americas for financial support, and then recruited a large number of mercenaries from Germany to withstand the Ottoman Turkish attack.

Nowadays, the Habsburg family cannot unite Spain. Even Spain does not have America. As a result, even if the Habsburgs had acquired the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia as they had in history, they would not have sufficient financial resources to support so many troops to resist the Ottoman-Turkish attack.

You should know that before the Habsburg family obtained the ruling power of the Spanish colonial empire, it was the famous poor family in Europe. Despite his reputation, he has no money. Therefore, the German princes could not be suppressed.

Later, after Charles V combined with Spain, he was rich and slammed France. But the French also got out, formed an alliance with Ottoman Turkey, and attacked the gods from east to west, causing Charles V to have no energy to unify the German states. Finally, when the situation stabilized, the frightened German princes, after Charles V's abdication, chose Charles V's brother Ferdinand as the emperor, and broke up the united relationship between the Spanish Empire and Shinra. Otherwise, those princely states will never survive.

But that was the original thing in history. The traversal of Marin made the Habsburg family lose the opportunity to obtain the Spanish Empire. In this way, even if Hungary and Bohemia are obtained in the future. The Habsburg family's brutal force may not have the money to maintain an army that can withstand Ottoman Turkey.

Therefore, Marin must pay for his changes to history. Supporting the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia has become a choice for Marin.

How to support? Of course, financial support. Whether it is ruled by the Jagiellonian family or the Habsburg family, the fighting power of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia is unquestionable. In particular, the Kingdom of Hungary can easily recruit tens of thousands of Magyar cavalry-as long as you can afford it ...

Therefore, the key to supporting the Kingdom of Hungary as a resistance to Ottoman Turkey lies in whether it has the money to feed the group of Hungarian hussars. As long as there is money to feed the army, Hungary ’s combat effectiveness is definitely not bad.

Eventually, Marin and Siegmont I reached an agreement that the profit of the whiskey would be divided into 30% to the Jagiellon family. But Sigmund I must guarantee that at least half of the profit from the sale of whiskey in the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia will be handed over to the royal family of Hungary and Bohemia ...

This term Marin has other intentions. Among them, there is a lot of articles on the condition of "allocating at least half of the profit of whiskey sales in the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia to the royal family of Hungary and Bohemia". This is clearly a foreshadowing for the future Habsburg family to take over Hungary and Bohemia, so Marin emphasized that the profit should be divided into half, that is, one-half of the profit, to the royal family of Hungary and Bohemia www.wuxiaspot.com ~ instead of referring specifically to the Jagiellon family.

In this way, after the Habsburg family takes over Hungary and Bohemia in the future, Marin can continue to use the huge profits of whiskey to give blood to the Habsburg family who took over Hungary and Bohemia to enhance their resistance Ottoman Turkish capabilities.

Will Lajos II, who was just born, die in the future? Marin did not consider it. Because Lajos II is the old son of Vladislas II, and he is very beloved. This also led to Lajosh II will be spoiled, it will be difficult to escape the Ottoman Turkish soldiers in the future. Only by joining forces with Austria and Poland can we withstand the powerful offensive of Ottoman Turkey. The chance of Layos II dying is high, and according to the agreement reached by Vladislas II and Maximilian I-as long as he heirs, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia will be controlled by The descendants of Milian I inherited the throne. Therefore, the chance of the Habsburg family uniting Hungary and Bohemia is quite large.

As long as the Habsburg family took over the Kingdom of Hungary, they had to face the hundreds of thousands of troops of Ottoman Turkey. Without the input of gold and silver from the Spanish American Empire, the Habsburgs will be trapped in hegemony in the Balkans and have no time to look north.

Therefore, Marin very much hopes that the Habsburgs will fall into the war quagmire of the Balkans. In this way, he can enjoy expanding his territory in the "Little Germany" region of northern Germany.

Even the Habsburgs will have to ask for help because of the strong pressure from the Ottoman Turkish, French and Swiss uprisings. In this way, Marin can claim benefits from the Habsburg family. As a royal family, there are many things that can be given to Marin. Although all are nominal things, these are exactly what Marin needs ...
