Although some arrangements were made, Ladislaus still hoped to organize Spain and France to reach an agreement. After all, detaining the French king was the best way to promote the French civil war and then destroy this powerful enemy.

Barbarossa's intervention was Ladislaus's last hope.

The result disappointed Ladislaus, and Barbarossa's rejection was very direct.

"The New World is a treasure, that's all I can say." Plane rules consume divine power directly based on the value of intelligence, so Barbarossa is unwilling and unable to go into details.

Any information in the New World is the most valuable information to the rulers of the Old World. Just as Ladislaus wanted to convince Barbarossa, Barbarossa hoped to convince Ladislaus, but he didn't know

Ladislaus knew enough information about the New World.

Although he didn't know the details, Ladislaus could still tell from the amount of water sprayed from the mouths of the four double-headed eagles in the Great Will that his ancestor gods must have greatly strengthened their strength.

The spring flow is not very thick yet, but compared to the intermittent water drops at the beginning, the continuous flow of water now, no matter how small, is a big improvement.

The more exquisite reliefs on the four walls and columns illustrate the same situation.

One wall has a new narrative relief.

A tall warrior wields his sword to kill an enemy who appears to be a man with a human body and the head of an eagle. In the second picture, the warrior has stepped on a big snake and is peeling off its muscles and skin.

Next, the samurai drinks the blood of his slain enemies.

Finally, some indigenous people are kneeling to worship the new gods.

This can only mean one thing. Barbarossa obviously not only gained a lot of wealth and some pseudo-god essences in the New World, but also controlled many new believers.

After Ladislaus performed his final duties, he could only leave Hongzhijian with regrets.

Barbarossa was also disappointed. In his opinion, Ladislaus, like most Europeans, could not understand what a land of opportunity the New World was.

Steward Margarita is also a descendant of Barbarossa. Today she was taken into the Great Will by Ladislaus and met her old lover again.

The sight of the head of Charles V speaking as a medium for the ancestor gods had a big impact on her, but the majesty and splendor between the ambitions prevented her from feeling scared. And it was obvious that the voice of Charles V had not changed.

, but he is no longer the person he once loved to some extent.

Although the dialogue between Ladislaus and Barbarossa was important, both sides soon realized that they could not convince the other party, so it did not last long.

Margarita was careful not to say a word during the whole process.

Compared to cousin Harna who can only stay outside, her treatment is pretty good.

After leaving the Ambitions, Ladislaus went to the brewery with the two ladies. Machiavelli and Mrs. Reinhardt certainly paid great attention to this industry when planning the city. This important business

The property is now within the city walls.

Not only has safety been improved, but special care has been given to water and drainage.

The size of the brewery and the number of employees have grown significantly compared to when Harna first took over. Some wine-producing areas in France were devastated by the war, and a large part of the alcoholic beverage market lost by the French fell into

Austrian hands.

The wine-producing areas in the Apennine Mountains were also greatly ravaged by the Austrian army. Although they were reluctant, the Roman nobles could not prevent Vienna's high-end wines from entering this market.

This year this valuable brewery is expected to double its profits and taxes to the state treasury. Ladislaus's private treasury will receive more than 150,000 talers.

Ladislaus was not satisfied with this, he needed more resources.

"The Drow caravan is leaving soon, why hasn't it been shipped yet?" Ladislaus looked at the warehouse, whether it was low-grade goods in the large pool or good goods stored in oak barrels in the basement.

There is still a lot of stock. "You know, all countries that believe in the Great Demon of Stars and Moons prohibit alcohol. This kind of business monopolized by big nobles is the most profitable. Therefore, Drow pay the most readily, why don't you take care of them?

?”

"Did those black men complain to you?" Harna asked quite dissatisfied, "You said that I have absolute control over this brewery."

Ladislaus didn't remember saying this, but maybe he said it when he was stuck in his cousin's body.

But that kind of thing can't be counted.

"Drow merchants are our important economic partners in Austria. I forbid you to call them black skins anymore. The prices they offer are not low. Why do you have to lower their priority so low?" Zall can't get it.

The fundamental reason for the shortage of goods is the insufficient production of the Vienna brewery, and the direct reason is that Harna has reduced their priority to the lowest. Whenever there is a disturbance in the production process, the shares of these distant merchants will be deducted.

"Unlike other merchants, although their prices are high, they are FOB prices. They need us to help them deliver them to the Port of Trieste. We can make some money on this journey, so I will help them deliver them."

." Harna said nicely. In fact, Ladislaus knew that her transportation business was quite big. Not only did she have hundreds of semi-military troops on Danube Island, but she also had the second largest fleet on the Danube River.

It also belongs to her. This rapid pace of development is obviously due to the support of Andre Doria.

Moreover, Harna has recruited many unemployed mercenaries from Switzerland and Northern Italy through the power of the Chamber of Commerce. In these areas, Austria's military recruitment agencies are extremely inefficient. If these unemployed people stay there, Austria's rule will also be unstable. In Vienna, these

There is no danger to humans.

Of course, in the eyes of some important ministers in Austria, this semi-military force was already too strong. Jones and Sazastan repeatedly pointed out the dangers of this force to Ladislaus.

It's just that Ladislaus thinks that the two of them have unreliable butts on this issue, and may be a little public-minded, but it is more likely that they are speaking for the needs of Katharina and Anna.

The Archbishop of Würzburg is also opposed to this army. Although there is no conflict with him in terms of military resources, Harna is competing with him for the resources of retired officers.

Austria already has a group of retired officers. After being allocated the irrigated fields on the north bank, many officers retired according to Ladislaus's conditions. Some of them were attracted by the high salary and joined Harna's semi-military army.

Of course, most people have transferred to a more stable militia system.

In addition, the fact that Harna's stronghold is located on Danube Island instead of in Vienna is also the reason why Ladislaus tolerates her, and he still knows how to be proportionate.

Ladislaus tolerated her development because of the closer relationship with the Republic of Liguria and the fact that this force was actually an auxiliary force that could be mobilized urgently.

Moreover, although most of the soldiers in this unit are from Switzerland and Italy, the officers are basically Austrians, so the structure is still trustworthy.

Now that there is a retirement bill and a conscription system, these skilled former officers and soldiers will always have this kind of group, so instead of controlling it in the hands of others, it is better to control it in the hands of Harna.

If Ladislaus can suppress all his lovers, then no matter what, women cannot be allowed to support their own armies. However, since it is inevitable for Anna to rely on the church to form a force, then Ladislaus must use other women to balance it.

"Since they still need your security services, why don't you give them priority?" Ladislaus asked, this explanation puzzling him even more.

Halna held it in for a long time, and finally said calmly under the glare of Ladislaus: "There is a very powerful drow ranger who asked us to stop selling wine to the Kingdom of God. My security force cannot deal with him.

He has already defeated two convoys, with nearly twenty casualties."

"He? Are you sure he is a person?" Ladislaus did not believe that there really were lone heroes in the world.

"Maybe he is a strong man at the level of protecting the country. Anyway, that's what the escaped guards said. There is a black panther's double-sword ranger. He doesn't seem to be as ferocious as other drow. He didn't gouge out the eyes and nose of the captives. He just asked us

Don't continue to sell alcohol to his motherland, and declare that it's just a matter of three things. If there is a third person who specializes in delivering alcohol to the Black Continent convoy, he will start attacking your officials."

"In other words, it's not that you don't deliver goods to them, but that you can't deliver them to the Port of Trieste?" Ladislaus understood Harna's trouble. Her security business had just started and she couldn't do it so quickly.

He admitted that he was not good enough, but Ladislaus would not sit back and let the situation develop like this.

"Although my subordinates have the motive to exaggerate his strength, someone who can single-handedly defeat my escort is really not easy to deal with. Being able to survive here means that his disguise technique should also be very powerful. He must be strong enough to hold the line.

In order to deal with him, I haven't thought about what benefits to give to Frunzberg or Jones." Harna's difficulty is also obvious, her semi-military organization does not have enough people to suppress the scene.

"A powerful hostile drow is hindering Austria's economic development in my territory and destroying the harmonious situation under our Habsburg rule. What benefits do you want from you to eliminate him? It is the duty of me and my subordinates to eliminate him.

." However, Ladislaus's words were very powerful. This powerful ranger harmed not only the interests of Halna, but also the interests of Ladislaus and the Habsburg family. (To be continued. If you
