Joseph Buccini walked the street with ease at his feet. When he bowed to the two passing women with a smile, the two Neapolitan women looked suspiciously at the Jew, and then secretly discussed whether the man was And it's because of whom we have loan sharks.

Joseph Buccini was indeed very happy, because not only did he finally prove his conjecture, but he also saw the young princess that he regarded as the true master of the city.

Unlike his Jewish companions, Buccini was not only interested in how to do business with the ascending trade union, he was more interested in the people behind the Free Trade Union.

Buccini believes that understanding and understanding, and even dealing directly with those people, are the most critical. Compared with doing business with this alliance, he values ​​the huge potential behind this monstrous behemoth.

Free trade zone, this sounds like a somewhat plausible name is not more threatening than the Hanseatic League, but Buccini does not think so.

He feels that the people behind this trade zone are like a group of sharks hidden in the deep sea. They are spying on their prey anytime and anywhere. Once the target relaxes their vigilance, these sharks will emerge from the bottom of the sea and then rush to the target fiercely. They shred and devour.

And this trade zone and the Hanseatic League have a very different place, that is, although the Hanseatic League also has a huge influence, but they are all merchants after all, and the founder of this trade zone is not only noble, but also With the army and power in his hands, Buccini was keenly aware that this trade union was destined not to pursue wealth only from the beginning of its establishment. Obviously, the brothers and sisters are using their skillful manipulation of money. Crazy accumulation of huge wealth, while using this huge financial resources to achieve their ambitions.

It now appears that their actions have achieved initial results. They first bought support from Venice with money, and then "buy" the Kingdom of Naples.

But Buccini did n’t think that the brothers and sisters were going well, because everyone knew that the French were coming, so although it seemed that the Modillo family had control of Naples, who could guarantee that they would not be just for France Did someone make a wedding dress?

And it is clear that the brothers and sisters of Count Montina should have thought of this too. Although it is not clear how the brothers and sisters plan to overcome this difficulty, Buccini still thinks this is a good opportunity.

The first meeting with Ruo Sha made Buccini very satisfied. Although he was quickly rushed out of her room mercilessly by the beautiful princess, Buccini not only felt depressed but in a good mood because he It was noticed that Princess was dissatisfied with him only because he took the liberty to propose a way to cooperate with the FTA alliance, rather than having any objection to the proposed cooperation itself, which made Buccini secretly speculate in his heart, I do n’t know At what price can the princess change her mind.

Very different from all the companions around him, Buccini did not think that the Jews must have suffered all kinds of hardships, especially when their tireless accumulated wealth was looted time after time, it seems that the Jews were born to be slaves of those kings and nobles This kind of thing Buccini saw too much from childhood, and heard more. The entire Europe seems to regard the Jews as fat sheep that can be cut at any time. This situation Buccini thinks should have changed.

Supporting a Wallachia granddaughter with money only does not satisfy Buccini. His goal is more ambitious and ambitious than any Jew.

Not only to support, but also to participate in the process of building a huge force or even a country, so that the influence of the Jews is deeply rooted in this force from the beginning, maybe they do n’t need to stand up to control power, But as long as they hide behind those who have power, the Jews have a chance to change their bad fate.

Buccini's goal is simple. He not only hopes to be the patron of the brothers and sisters, but also hopes to be part of their initial "little kingdom."

This is so because Buccini clearly realized that perhaps in the minds of the brothers and sisters or the earl of Montina, a Naples, a Montina, a pizza and even a Wallachia It's just a prelude to his ambition.

Buccini didn't know exactly what Count Montina wanted, but he believed it must be a daunting target.

"Maybe the triple crown that was paid so much before will have a greater effect this time." After returning to his residence, Buccini began to write a secret letter to their companions in Venice. "I heard it here." Some interesting news, the Earl of Montina is actively promoting a friend of his, the newly appointed Tuscany and Romagna bishop Mahimo to become a cardinal, to know that this metropolitan from St. Mark's Abbey It took as long as the Bishop ’s time to be as short as a blink of an eye, and now the Earl is promoting his relationship with Cardinals, which makes me have a bold guess. Are we going to have a chance with a future When dealing with the pope, or with someone who is trying to support a pope, we must know that we almost successfully sponsored a pope in the Vatican just two years ago, but the subsequent changes have made us almost in desperation. What caused us to fail was the Earl of Montina, but I do n’t think this unpleasant past will affect our cooperation with the Earl in the future, perhaps precisely On the contrary, it is precisely because I have personally seen the great power we have shown in this kind of thing. I believe that the Earl should have greater confidence in working with us. "

Buccini wrote to stop here, he threw away the quill that had been broken because of his fast speed, and replaced it with a new one. At the same time, he took this opportunity to clear his somewhat hot head because of the excitement.

Buccini went to the window and looked at the city outside. He firmly believed that there was a secret in this city. Now he felt that he was very close to this secret. As long as he approached carefully, he could finally find everything behind this secret. But the key before this is to not let yourself get hurt because of being too close.

Buccini had a strong hunch that the earl of Montina did not seem to want anyone to notice Naples, or simply did not want people to notice the princess too much.

Even Lucrezia, the mother of the Grand Duchess of Wallachia or the mother of Estres, the Duchess of Pisa, although they had a wonderful relationship with the count, he did not seem to care much about their Attention, but Buccini can feel that the count has a very strange protective desire for his half-sister, which makes the former countess now the princess, although quite unique, but It's not always so noticeable, so Buccini doesn't want to cause the count's disgust or even hostility because he noticed it.

Approaching the secret but ensuring that the count is not irritated, or to make the count understand that they are not in danger to him, this is exactly what Buccini hopes to do.

"We need to let the brothers and sisters understand that we have no ambitions for power. Even if we become one of them in the future, it will not pose a threat to them. This is very important, otherwise even if we are willing to provide great help, it may end up because of It has caused suspicion and caused us trouble, so I think the triple crown plays an important role here. This treasure can undoubtedly become a powerful guarantee to prove our sincerity. "

Buccini, who had written here, finally stopped. He smiled at the letter on the letter, which seemed a bit saucy because of his excitement. Then he took out the "Legal Guide" of the University of Venice, which had never been away, and started a little. The translated secret letter is translated into secret text according to certain rules marked in this book.

"I hope the elders are not so stubborn."

Buccini's cautiousness about the elders 'cautiousness, but he also knew that those people would be so cautious not for no reason. It can be said for a long time that these elders' cautiousness prevented the Jews from being completely eliminated even if they suffered setbacks defeat.

And he couldn't help but admit that the previous elders' attempts to fund the Sicilian bishop Alfonso were still correct.

As for the subsequent failure, it was not so much that the plan suffered setbacks, but rather bad luck encountered the Count of Montina.

However, as he said in the letter, it seems that the last confrontation with the Earl of Montina was not only a bad thing, but it might also be an opportunity for the next big change in the relationship between the two parties.

Thinking of the future, Buccini waved his fist in excitement. He had longed for a chance to become a truly respected businessman, not as rich as in other Jews but always despised by others, or always considered as He is doing business by signing a contract with the devil.

Buccini thought it was unfair. He hoped that one day people would respect him because he was a successful businessman and not because he could buy their house and business at will, and not because of jealousy and greed for his wealth. Suffered arbitrary persecution.

But to achieve all this, we must first become the earl ’s collaborator as he said, not just provide money to the Wallachia Grand Duke, otherwise the Jews will never escape the fate of others ’money bags.

When Buccini was thinking about the future for the Jews, Ruo Sha was sitting at the table with her cheeks watching the thick pile of contracts.

This is Frederick ’s money owed to the Jews. Although he knows the amount is large, but looking at the number of 140,000 florins above, Ruosha still ca n’t help but wrinkle slightly. She was praised by Alexander more than once as “like a new moon born” Beautiful eyebrows like a beautiful curve.

Ruosha knew that she could get the money, and it was not laborious, but even then she still felt a little unhappy, because in her view Frederick's money was really not worth it.

For the Naples City Defense Army, Ruosha was completely disappointed. In her opinion, if the money was used to equip her Cosenza army, she could even dismiss the mercenaries and mercenary knights she had already looked at. , And then reconstituted her Cosenza army as the first grenadier company, if that's the case, even if the French came, she didn't have to worry about it.

Although she has almost instinctive trust in Alexandria, she is convinced of the changes that Alexander will reveal in the near future, but perhaps because she is now the hostess of Naples, Ruosha ’s heart has started to change unconsciously. .

What if Naples could be re-armed?

This thought made Ruo Sha irritated, and when she thought of the intention that the Jew had just revealed vaguely, Ruo Sha's mind could not help but live a little.

She pushed the bill in front of her to the side, and then began to write it down on the paper. She needed to roughly calculate how much money she would invest to complete the matter. As for the debt, Rusha felt that if the Jews were sincere, they should be generous. Of these debts.

It was just that she had no time to write a beginning, and with the servant's report, Count Modillo entered her room.

"I heard a Jew came to you?" Asked the count, seeing Ruo Sha nodding his head and handing over the list of arrears. The count first looked at the items above and gently shook his head. Then he sat down seriously Looking at Ruosha "Tell me what you think."

"Are you saying that you owe money?" Ruosha guessed something, but she was deliberately confused. "I want to repay the money, but I have other ..."

"You know what I'm talking about," the Earl interrupted the niece slightly, "You are now Alfred's wife."

"It's just nominal," Ruo Sha waved unconsciously. "He wanted to invade me before, but now he's asleep."

"I've heard that," the count sighed. He didn't expect Ruosha to be so bold and inexplicably stubborn. It was a very important step in the whole plan when he wanted to be Alfred's wife, and then he could use it. This is a big fuss, but now it seems that his niece does n’t want this step to be taken so easily. ”But how long do you think it will last, and what does it mean? Or do you worry that you are not pregnant with Qiao? Child? "Said the count looking involuntarily at Russa's lower abdomen, and then puzzledly said," but he already has a daughter, and isn't the Bohemian woman also pregnant? Make you pregnant? "

"What are you talking about, Alexander and I, neither of us ..."

"No? You mean you don't ~" The count made a gesture that made Rusha a little annoyed, and looked at the niece's a little angry look, the look on Modillo's face became a little weird. "Of course you know that you are not Brothers and sisters, in fact, even brothers and sisters are nothing. I mean, you have to have a child is the key, "The Earl waved his hand, it seems that he wanted to make this awful conversation hurry up to the point." The key is that you must have Qiaoheng ’s child, not What is the Count of Montina Alexander Juliant Gumbre, but the child of Joel Modillo. "

"Is there any difference, uncle?"

"Of course there is a difference. Maybe it wasn't the case at first, but it must be like this now, because you should already know who is the father of" Joe ", so what do you think is the difference between an illegitimate child of an earl and a prince?"

"Uncle, you really surprised me. We seemed to be discussing how to make me have a baby for my brother." Ruosha looked sarcastically at Count Modillo, when she once thought this person was Unsurpassable, but now she suddenly found that this person is not so high, at least now he is complaining to her but there is no way.

Earl was a little annoyed and pulled off the soft cap on his head. He didn't expect that the obedient niece didn't know when it would cause him a headache. Think about it all because of that Alexander. The Earl was upset.

"In any case, you must as soon as possible ... you understand what I mean, tell me is he not interested in you?" The count immediately denied this speculation after asking, "This is impossible, no one is blind except blind." It can be seen that he looks at you, that is not what a brother should have. Having said that, if he is really your brother, your mother's leg has been broken for a long time. In short, you have to deal with this matter quickly, know that we can There is not much time, the French are coming. Once you are separated and you are not able to conceive a child at that time, it will be a little trouble. You have to know that it is impossible for you to procrastinate all the time. "

"But uncle, what if we can hold Naples?" Russa suddenly asked, seeing the count's unexpected expression, and Russa said excitedly, "I mean if we defeated the invading Frenchman and then took full control of Naples, Maybe then we do n’t have to worry so much. "

"It's impossible. Don't you think that you can hold Naples with your Cosenza Grenadier. You have to know that the City Defence Force is unreliable, even with the Montina army. I know the French very well. They are too Powerful. "Although he was unwilling to admit that this was the case, the count still persuaded Ruosha with a wry smile." Luosha, you are smart, not only smarter than women, and even more men than the men I have seen, but also your bravery. Even the most demanding generals have to admit it, but this does not mean that you can defeat the French. You have to know that you are not facing a small city-state or an army of lords, but an army of the Kingdom of France. "

The Earl's words calmed some excited Russa. She knew that her uncle was right. No one in Naples probably knew the French better than the Earl Modillo. It was because he knew the army that he knew it so well. Scary.

"That's why I urge you to get pregnant soon," the earl reiterated this somewhat taboo topic. "You should have heard that the relationship between the pope and the French is ambiguous, and Alexander is due to Lucrezia's reason The relationship is bound to become complicated, so do you think he might help you guard Naples? "

Ruosha ’s eyes dimmed slightly, and she was always proud of being the only sister who could be favored by her elder brother, because other women could never have the kind of complex and unreasonable relationship between her and Alexander, which is why she was so late The reason for not taking that critical step, she cherishes the feeling that belongs only between them. If that step is really taken, will she become just one of Alexander's women?

But now the earl's words remind me that sister and lover, or even the mother of the child, which one is closer and important?

Seeing Russa's slightly concerned expression, the count was slightly relieved. He didn't want to know what Russa was thinking before. At this time, Naples was faced with the invasion of the French army. This is the most important thing ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ Can't we really keep it? Ruosha asked unwillingly. "Louis will keep most of the army in the north for the invasion of Lombardy. How many French troops will invade Naples?" "

"Even if the number of French troops is not large, your Cosenza Grenadier can't resist," the count said with a sigh. "It might be possible if the Cosenzas became an army a few years earlier, but now you can fight with your strength. But the French. "

Luo Sha leaned her back against the chair in disappointment and looked out the window.

A flag flashed through the yard, and before she could react, a burst of rapid footsteps had been heard from the corridor.

Ruosha stood up instinctively, and then she ran to the door without thinking.

The door opened and Alexander's figure appeared at the door.

With cheers, Ruo Sha had already plunged into Alexander's arms!

"I'm back, my sister," Alexander hugged Ruosha's body tightly, and whispered in her ear. "And I brought you a gift."
