Although it was summer, it was not too hot on the Danube River. Ladislaus, accompanied by Harna, left the city of Vienna to inspect the brewery. Of course, it was just outside the old city. The brewery was also on the Danube River.

Including the new city wall, the brewery is quite east, so the city wall has to go around a long way.

However, Ladislaus decided that it was worth it, and he also paid attention to learning from the experience of the Eastern Song Dynasty. All good things would be brought to the walls of his "Bianjing".

After much struggle, Ladislaus finally won.

Not only did he get the two ladies to fawn over him, but he also reaffirmed his control of the brewery.

"Is this your public bathroom?" After receiving a positive answer, Ladislaus shook his head. Princess Katharina's ears and eyes were blocked to the extreme. This public bathroom built next to the brewery only needed a brief look.

You can be sure that there is something fishy.

As long as a local Austrian noble reports the situation to Princess Katharina, cousin Harna will be completely defeated.

"You two are from other places, why do the Austrians support you, the Italian, and hate the Spaniard?" Ladislaus couldn't help but want to know the reason why his cousin had the upper hand.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's maids are all from Spain. Although a large number of people died while helping Her Elector to 'put out the fire', she still found a dozen new maids from Spain." Harna said about the strong pairing of the Princess and the Elector.

Of course, the enemy's stranglehold is something he likes to see. "But I only have a few old Italians, and most of my maids are selected from the local small nobles. I have spent a lot of money on these maids. How can their fathers and brothers not help me?"

Ladislaus nodded, that's right. Harna knew that she wanted to give some of the benefits to the local forces, so naturally she had a lot of help. However, Katherina relied on the backstage to try to monopolize it, so she naturally had little help.

"Mrs. Doria, you are really amazing." Today, Margarita is also on the inspection tour. As the palace mistress, she is also very concerned about Ladislaus's private treasury income, although Machiavelli has the final say on everything.

It also has the power to allocate private treasury to support the national treasury, but daily expenses are basically controlled by Margarita.

"You have expanded the interests of the brewery into distribution channels, which must be of great benefit to His Royal Highness the Archbishop's private treasury." Margarita seemed to be inducing Harna's words.

"This year the revenue from the brewery to His Royal Highness the Archbishop's private treasury is expected to reach 120,000 thalers. The tax paid to the national treasury is also expected to increase by 20%." It seems that these two ladies have formed some kind of alliance.

, but this is also an inevitable reaction when facing a strong enemy.

A few days ago, Ladislaus discovered that Princess Katherina's maids were incompatible with other maid systems. Margarita actually had no control over the Spanish maids. This was why Katherina did not use local Austrian maids. She was afraid of being

penetration.

Katherina's maid is not only a top-notch person, but also a top-notch financial figure. Of course, she is a thorn in Margarita's side.

Of course, this relationship was deliberately created by Ladislaus. Margarita, who had a personal enmity with the princess, was chosen to leave the overly powerful Katherina alone and helpless, so that Ladislaus could maintain balance.

Although it was a bit helpless to maintain this balance of power in the harem, the disadvantage of being a red archbishop made Ladislaus rather be cautious than give Katherina the chance to kill everyone.

Of course, there is no solution to Anna's problem yet, because her background is really tough.

While Ladislaus was thinking about how to put a noose on his overly powerful woman, he walked into a place called the public bathhouse but was actually a secret warehouse.

The outside of the gate is really nice. The steps made of high-quality marble make people feel like they have traveled through history and returned to the majestic and glorious imperial era.

After walking a few more steps, the bathroom that looked decent from the outside was revealed to be its original shape as soon as it entered. There was no interior decoration at all. In the center was a giant square pool filled with white wine.

"None of the products here can be called natural beauty." Although it can be said that the wine is full of aroma, but just from the taste and storage method of these wines, Ladislaus can be sure that these are not the good products that Vienna has amazed the world over the years.

.

Ladislaus and Sirica handed him a spoon, took a spoonful of wine, and took a sip: "It's not bad, but it's not worthy of diplomatic gifts or high-ranking nobles. This kind of stuff is for ordinary citizens or young knights."

It’s affordable.”

"His Majesty Ferdinand emphasized the boutique route to compete for the high-end market. His original intention was not to disrupt the existing wineries in Austria." Although Boss Sirica also followed, Harna was more relaxed than in front of her maid, and she knew it very well.

This attendant with strange eyes is absolutely reliable. "His Majesty the Emperor is indeed wise. As a royal industry, it is best not to attack the original industry, because it is extremely unworthy to let commercial competition damage the honor of the royal family."

"Now the situation has changed. The new dock built in Vienna allows the wine produced in Vienna to be sold to cities upstream and downstream of the Danube regardless of grade." This is why Ladislaus desperately wanted to establish a trade center when he first took office.

Relationships, the development of the logistics industry can greatly enhance export capabilities. Reduce selling prices and improve competitiveness.

"And if you can give more of this to Princess Katharina, Her Royal Highness must be speechless." Margarita's hatred for Princess Katharina made her completely on Harna's side.

"Export good products as much as possible. Although alcohol consumption is helpless, I still hope that this kind of consumable and easily caused social problems can be exported to foreign countries as much as possible." Ladislaus stared at Margarita's mask.

Having said these words, he had already guessed what kind of benefits this lady, who was also considered her distant aunt, had gained from supporting Miss Harna.

"Did you get the upstream market of the Principality of Bavaria and the Electorate of the Rhine-Palatinate or the downstream market of the Kingdom of Hungary?" Ladislaus expected that Margarita must have obtained a distribution right. "No matter where it is, it must be

To protect Austria’s interests.”

"But the economies of Buda and Pest are much worse than Vienna, and they need a lot of low-end wine." Margarita said helplessly, "My father and brother also spent a lot of money to open up joints in the Kingdom of Hungary.

Yes, we can’t let them lose money after all.”

"I will reduce the export tax on all Austrian winemaking industries to 5% in the near future." Ladislaus knows very well that when a country's flagship product is developing, it needs special support from the state. During industrialization,

In the era of powerful countries, they would even subsidize these industries, but for Austria today, an export tax of five points is already a great discount.

Ladislaus' words made both ladies cheer.

When the two ladies began to take off their clothes, Sirica quietly retreated to the bathroom door. Although judging from the atmosphere of Europa at the time, it was okay for him to stay and take a look as a very trusted personal bodyguard, but he always felt that Rady
