Colbert's suspicion was completely within the king's expectations. For those who did not have enough and advanced exploration methods, whether in Africa or America, the New World gave them fish catches and fur. In particular, the road opened by France's explorers was still stagnant in what was later called Quebec and now called New France. From Henry IV to Louis XIII, their sight remained at Europa and had no great interest in the New World - or in other words, because in 1555 and 1612, France's behavior of opening up the New World was continuously sniped by Portugal and Spain, and they had to withdraw from Rio de Janeiro and Saint Louis in Brazil, which made the kings lose their desire for new territory.

But Louis knew that it was the treasure land God promised them, with milk and honey flowing, and gold and silver buried. However, this matter still needs to be discussed for a long time. After all, France could not go to war in many places at this time. It can even be said that before the population lost by the civil war increased, Louis did not even want to go to war with any country. At this time, he would like to thank the successive French kings for their sensitivity and efforts to the royal power, because Charles II wrote another letter to complain that the parliament was forcing him to declare war on the Netherlands because the Dutch fleet

It directly affected the business of the British. Like Louis, Charles II was unwilling to go to war at will, but at this time the British Parliament was almost controlled by merchants. These new nobles once executed a king for their own money, exiled a Duke of the Nation, and now threatened another king... Louis reminded himself that when reusing these merchants, he should also be careful of their ambitions. For these people, there is nothing that cannot be bought or sold, even reputation, life or even country.

The king's silence made Colber look at Bontang with concern. Bontang shook his head gently, saying that this did not mean that the king had any dissatisfaction with him. "These coins are very good," at this moment, the king said, and then he personally picked up a silver coin and a gold coin and placed it in Colberbell's hand. "This is to reward your hard work," he said, "Bontang, you come and get one too, yes, each one, and I will take the rest to show the Queen." In fact, before handing the two boxes of coins to the Queen Mother, Louis took a few of them in his pocket. At night, he gave them to the Queen, and Queen Teresa later penetrated it a hole and hung it around her neck as a pendant.

Not only did this, but the Queen Mother and the King of Kings did the same. So this small decoration suddenly became popular in Paris and spread rapidly to all directions, which caused a small problem, that is, the circulation of these two coins became some problems. Fortunately, the king did not have such great ambitions, hoping that they could immediately replace Italian or Spanish coins into French circulating currency. Nowadays, the French still have a little distrust of their own coins, which is also a problem, but this has to be left to time to deal with, or to cultivate more trustworthy people to find gold or silver for the king on the New World. After hundreds of years, almost all the circulating money were banknotes and virtual numbers, but banks still had vaults, and the country still had certain gold reserves. This is not unreasonable.

When Louis and Teresa had their first child for a full month, the king also went to Calais. He did not forget to have another inner world. He remembered that he had read a book in the inner world, which described a strange little animal, very sharp to precious metals. The wizards were worried that it would peel off its buttons, bite its staff, or damage its jewelry. Louis thought, is it possible for such a small animal to find the minerals they needed underground or on the ground. After all, in his impression, those minerals were not far from the ground and could even be found in rivers.

It is not a simple matter for the king to go to Calais. Everyone knows what happened to him in Dunkirk last time. The Queen Mother didn't want him to leave Paris. But as a king, he must go on expedition and patrol. After a lot of reluctance, Louis set off for northern France after Lent. This was his first official tour after formal administration. It was completely different from the exile period. Along the way, every city, every territory, every duke or marquis

The lords respectfully welcomed their king. It was a great honor to be able to say something to the king. No officials below the mayor were qualified to meet the king. What made Louis feel helpless was that the queen insisted on him that Madame Lavalier, whom she insisted on bringing, became the object of flattery. No, it should be said that fortunately, she was, otherwise the women of the nobles would not know where they should go. A "madame" recognized by the royal family replaced the queen here.

Madame Lavalier was unexpectedly good at dealing with these scenes with silence and smile. Only then did the king remember that she was also Princess Henrietta's personal maid after all. When Henrietta's identity was awkward, her identity was even more worth mentioning. I think she must have suffered a lot of difficulties and humiliations in the French court.

They stayed in many cities along the way, and the gifts received by the king and Lavalier were almost piled up, and most of them were valuable, especially when passing through towns where Huguenots were mostly popular. Perhaps because these believers also heard about the king's assassination... but the Huguenots in the north were not as many as in the south. When the king passed by a church, he stopped slightly, and all the Huguenots in the inside were Huguenots, and the followers couldn't help but nervous - but in the end the king said nothing.

Of course, Louis would not let go of those who had wanted to murder him so easily, but the problem was that the Huguenots had a great influence in the south, and their components were almost all merchants and handicraftsmen. If Louis had been so determined as Bishop Mazaran was worried about and banned the Nantes decree issued by Henry IV, it would be very likely that France's industrial and commercial foundation would be directly shaken. This was not only Bishop Mazaran and Louis analyzed, but even Colbert, who had always been loyal to the king, had cleverly advised the king.

It seems that in addition to the Academy of Fine Arts, Academy of Sciences and Academy of Literature, Louis thought that primary and secondary schools opened for merchants and handicraftsmen must also be on the agenda. He received such education and knew that sometimes the education children received from teachers was more rapid and strong than the guidance they received from their parents, and they remembered deeply. Or he could also invite academicians from the Academy of Sciences to make some innovations and transformations to the existing handicraft industry, such as replacing manpower with machinery. In this way, even if these Huguenots left France because of the ban on the edict, they would not have an impact on French handicraft industry, because machinery was originally intended to replace humans, and most people.

This idea became even stronger when the king arrived in Calais, because Calais was a place where tulle, lace and woven lace were abundant. As a port city with a mild climate, the residents here, especially women, were as delicate and charming as lace and lace, because at this time it was already summer, their clothes became thinner. The women here, even noble girls, would not be as neatly dressed as the people in Paris, and their skirts were almost made of layered tulle, and then they were embellished with lace in important positions. In some private occasions, they even wore only a loose long skirt and then tied a gem belt around their waists.

Mary was dressed like this. When she saw Louis, she immediately walked forward happily, as if she was about to pounce on her, but then she stopped again, revealing a complicated expression. Her hesitation made Louis sigh and stretch out his hand. The king hugged her. Although Mary was a mother, her body was not much plump, and even thinner. Her butterfly bones bulged dangerously under the skin like a pair of blades, and the king could touch the clear spine, "Are you okay?" he asked.

"No," Mary replied, although very rude, but still made Louis laugh. Mary seemed to be like this. He might have exposed his worry from his eyes. Mary seemed to want to argue with him, but suddenly calmed down: "I...I know, Louis," she said sadly: "I did something wrong."

Louis did not respond because he guessed that this was not Mary's last words. Sure enough, Mary raised his head and said earnestly: "I did something wrong, but Louis, don't regard me as an enemy, okay? I don't expect to be your wife, nor do I expect to be your only love, but don't hate me, okay? Even for the sake of Little Luciano?"

Little Luciano is Louis's real firstborn son. As a descendant of a witch, he was confirmed to be a wizard a few days after his birth. Perhaps because Louis also has outstanding talents, Little Luciano was almost destined to become a powerful man. His name was given by Louis. In Latin, it comes from the land of glory and also has a sense of glory. This name is the expectation of a father and a king. Although he could not be born as a king like another brother, Louis hoped that he could become the king of the inner world - this was also something he used to impress the Mancini family.

Little Luciano is still an animal that can only reptile on all fours. He is very familiar with his mother. When his mother talks, he looks up curiously. Louis gets up and sits on the carpet beside him. "You have never been my enemy," Louis said. "Mary, I will not regard my child's mother as an enemy. Sit next to me." He handed his hand to Mary. After Mary sat down, he said to Mary, "I have indeed been angry with you, because Mary, you know that I can carry it.

I have reminded you from the beginning that I am not only your Louis, but also the king of France, the child of my father and mother, brother of the king, and the protector of the people. I admit that I was very happy when we were together, like a little honey in a bitter life, so it seemed particularly precious. But Mary, if I really gave up my duty and the rights and obligations given to me by God, I will definitely live in guilt and regret all day long - maybe you don't care..."

"I……"

"Don't deny it," Louis asked Luciano to hold his thumb: "You think I will be a wizard, and a wizard is always superior to mortals. I should not hate you or hate you for this... But you should also know now that when people say to you, it's all for your good, your feelings won't be too good." What he refers to was that after the Mancini family reached an agreement with the king, he ruthlessly deceived Mary. When Mary thought Louis would stay with her in the inner world, Louis gave her only one child.

"But I can promise you one thing," said Louis: "Mary, raise our children well, and the future Duke of Cologne, I have obtained this identity from the Cologne family. In the inner world, his identity is flawless. He was born in a formal marriage and had the blessing of Merlin. When he grows up, Mary, when he becomes the king of the inner world, you will let him greet me."

"It will be a long time, Your Majesty...twenty years, or thirty years?"

"Just treat it as my punishment for you," Louis said, "unless your love can't last that long."

"My love will last six feet below, Your Majesty," said Mary: "Every day I will love you more than the day before."

"Then do it as I say," said Louis: "If you have any need, you can tell Madame Miledy that she is credible."

"I don't like her."

"If you are saying that she is too frivolous," Louis thought for a while and said, "I can only say that it is because of this that you don't need to worry. Are you still worried that I would like to have such a lady?"

"She is welcomed by many young wizards, and if I hadn't known that she really had no other blood, I would have doubted if she was another Mancini."

"The Mancini family is indeed rich in beauties." Louis said from the bottom of his heart, just look at Luciano and Louis. Although they are still babies, Luciano is indeed better than Luciano in terms of appearance. He also looks stronger than Luciano. Not only because of his nearly a year of age, the wizard's physique is indeed far superior to that of an ordinary person.

"So," said Mary, "what is compared to that Mrs. Lavalier?"

"You don't know who she is, right?" Louis said: "She is a werewolf."

"Will she give birth to your baby?"

"I have no idea."
