Chapter 67 The Friendship Price with the Queen, A Murder Case Caused by a Money Order (961 words included)
Peter knew very clearly what Bernis was thinking. He did not value international prestige. He only wanted to be as stable as a dog at home.
Peter smiled and said:
"Count Bernis, I understand what you mean. When Our Lady gave me the Holy Revelation, she did not say that it was unique to Russia. After all, there are also Orthodox Christians in Greece. I thought that the artifact could naturally be introduced to other countries."
"As for how Queen Teresa promotes it after it is introduced to Austria, that is her business. I think the merciful Holy Mother is willing to spread her holy light to all people, and she doesn't mind."
Hearing what Peter said, Count Bernice couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Because it was too early to conclude that Peter III was telling lies, Count Bernice could no longer retract the letter sent to the Queen.
He believed that this remedy would be enough to make Queen Theresa smile.
If it were Theresa's face, she would naturally be unwilling and unwilling to admit that she needed the Holy Enlightenment of the Orthodox God. But isn't the reason why diplomats are diplomats that their faces can be trampled on as they please according to national interests?
He could do what Theresa couldn't do, and he could lose the face Theresa didn't want to lose.
Bernis was very grateful to Peter at this time, but did not expect him to be so easy to talk to.
But he also knew that he couldn't take it for free. Bernis said:
"I wonder how much your Majesty wants to pay?"
Peter said:
"The method of making artifacts was taught by the Holy Mother. To avoid condemnation, this cannot be spread out, but the artifacts can. In view of the good relationship between Queen Elizabeth and the Queen of your country, a set of artifacts will cost 5,000 rubles."
Peter is not as open-minded as the lion, and when it comes to faith and gods, this is already a very low price.
He believed that neither Teresa nor the interested monarchs in various countries would think that he was blackmailing, but would instead think that he was very simple and amiable.
There are also intellectual property rights that must be promoted with the help of monarchs of various countries, and Peter will naturally not take too much advantage in this regard.
Even by country, there are not many buildings that really need lightning protection. Even in the 21st century, ordinary people's houses do not have lightning rods.
In terms of faith, what is more valuable is the friendship between monarchs.
Count Bernis was shocked when he heard the price mentioned by Peter III.
He thought the price would be very high. Which country's ambassador stationed in another country would not spend a lot of money when bribing important officials of the other country's government? What's more, this was a magical weapon, and he had witnessed its power with his own eyes.
It can be said that its spread to Austria was of great significance to Queen Theresa's rule.
Seeing Bernice's expression, Peter smiled and said:
"This is a friendship price with your country. I believe that after yesterday's scene, other countries will not remain indifferent. If they also want to get the artifact, the price is different from your country. I hope Count Bernice will keep this secret."
Count Bernis couldn't help but be very grateful. Peter had forgotten all the disrespect he had shown towards Teresa when he was in the carriage. Bernis thanked Peter profusely:
"Your Majesty! We will keep your kindness in mind and hope that the two countries will always have good relations. We need 100 sets of the artifacts you gave us."
100 units is a figure that Bernice estimated based on the major buildings in the country.
As for ordinary civilians, they are not within his scope of consideration at all.
Peter nodded and smiled:
"Yes, I will immediately order someone to build the artifact and then bless it. I believe it will be in the hands of the minister soon."
Bernis saluted and without hesitation wrote a money order worth 500,000 rubles and presented it.
Mirkovsky came down and took it and handed it to Peter.
Peter took a look and saw that it belonged to a well-known bank in the Netherlands.
Finance is a good thing. In the history of mankind, there are many big and powerful countries founded by finance. The Phoenician city-state had granted usury to the Jews as early as the Bible era. Alexander also once crowdfunded funds for the Eastern Expedition from the Greek city-states. Venice, Florence,
Political entities such as the Netherlands have also used financial leverage to achieve great success in history.
But the Netherlands did not start by relying on its own business practices. It can be said that the entire West did not.
As early as the Middle Ages, Venetian profiteers took advantage of the Crusaders' plundering wars to make profits.
Western merchants in the Age of Discovery all started their business with no capital.
The British established the East India Company in 1600, and the Dutch established the East India Company in 1602.
The Dutch East India Company is the famous king of white prostitution.
In February 1603, the Dutch East India Company's fleet robbed a Portuguese ship loaded with Chinese silk, lacquerware, porcelain, etc. in Johor. One robbery brought back 3.5 million Dutch guilders to the East India Company, equivalent to the total share capital.
Sixty percent of.
The most perfect closed-loop business idea of this company is:
"As long as the Chinese trade is successful, with Chinese goods being introduced into Japan and sometimes going back and forth, plus Bacheng's trade with China, the company will no longer have to borrow money on a large scale and pay expensive interest (as happened in India)
), and even get a large amount of real money to finance the voyage back to the Netherlands, without having to ship any more capital from Europe."
The way the Netherlands purchases goods from China is by robbing them.
From October 1622 to October 1623, the Dutch robbed 147 Chinese merchant ships, robbed 11 warehouse villages along the coast of China, and stole more than 100 cattle, 21 large bundles of raw silk, and even eggs and poultry.
Let it go.
In order to get cane sugar from China, it directly robbed the Wanwan and asked the Chinese to harvest and make cane sugar for them. Then it used the cane sugar and the robbed raw silk to go to Japan to exchange for silver, and used Japanese silver to buy China's exquisite silk, forming a perfect
closed loop.
Spices, silk, tea, gold, silver, cane sugar, porcelain and slaves were all stolen from popular shops in the Age of Discovery by Western merchants, and no real money was ever paid. The so-called free trade is free robbery trade.
The West used stolen goods to complete primitive accumulation, and only then did it have the capital for the Industrial Revolution.
Ordinary people in the West also benefited hugely from the war. Without the tens of millions of square kilometers of land, tens of billions of acres of farmland and pastures, and massive mineral resources that the Westerners seized through the war, there would not be hundreds of millions of Anglo-Saxon descendants.
It is impossible for the descendants of Spain and Portugal to expand hundreds of times within a few hundred times.
The war brought the greatest war dividend to Westerners after the Great Discovery. They have benefited to this day and will continue to benefit in the future.
Even the Swiss, who claimed to be neutral, were descendants of mercenaries who took the initiative to work hard.
The British fought more than 160 of the more than 180 United Nations members, the French won more than 70% of the wars after the Middle Ages, fighting a total of 141 wars, and the Spanish participated in 130 wars...
They have never forgotten the benefits of war. Before their hegemony disappears, the biggest joke is the pacifists who are moved and take the initiative to kneel down.
Looking at the money order from the Dutch Bank in his hand, Peter's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Then he played the bill lightly and said a few words to Count Bernis, who then left happily.
Peter did not leave the main temple, because according to his estimation, it would not be just an ambassador who came to see him.
I believe there is no such thing as a fool to serve as ambassador in a country like Russia.
Sure enough, he soon received a notification and Prussian Ambassador Madfield asked for an audience.
