In the villa of the new cardinal, Rovery Old was whispering something with his brother, Bishop of Genoa, Laford de la Rovery.

The Lovere family is prosperous. Not only in Genoa, but also in other places, there are also many family members and branches. Among them, Alexander has seen three of the old Lovere, who are the Bishop of Montina who seems to be in trouble, but also in order to make trouble.

Since Laford replaced his brother as Archbishop of Genoa, he seemed to have become more taciturn. He didn't like to show off in front of others. Now, in addition to presiding on some necessary ceremonies, he even appears less in public. This makes many people think that such behavior seems to be more in line with the identity of a bishop, rather than wearing armor under the red bishop's robe like Old Rovere, and then leading the army to fight everywhere.

However, today the topic of discussion between the brothers in the Holy See who served in senior priesthood has nothing to do with religion, they are discussing a war.

"So, although that Gombrey captured Caesar, the matter should not be resolved so easily," Laford said at this time. "The Pope sent his private secretary to negotiate, but Gombrey must have noticed that the Pope summoned Miss Cosenza before this, which was a very unusual move."

"Alexander VI is hinting that there are hostages in his hands," Old Rovery smiled while stroking his gray beard. Although this method is a bit rogue, it is a good idea to break the current deadlock."

"Aren't you going to do something for Miss Cosenca?" Lafore asked his brother.

"Now we don't need to do anything, just look carefully," said Old Rovery first, and then continued, "but you can visit the queen in Marino Palace in person. I believe Queen Joanna will be very happy about your arrival."

Laford nodded after understanding the meaning of his brother's words. He had almost understood the ideas of Rovery Old. It was obvious that in this conflict between Alexander and Caesar, or simply saying that it was with Alexander VI, Rovery Old was about to observe carefully on the side before deciding how to use the means.

Perhaps in this battle between the two Alexanders, the Lovere family may be able to gain some advantage.

"What is Barendi doing?" Old Luo Weire suddenly asked. Although he loved this daughter the most, because there were too many things to do, sometimes he was not as clear as others about his whereabouts.

A strange look appeared on Laford's face, and he shook his head helplessly: "At these times, Barenti actually often visits Marino Palace, but she seems to be mainly in contact with Miss Corsenca."

Old Luo Weire just nodded and said nothing. There were too many things he needed to care about, and everything he did was for the interests of the family. He hoped that one day he would restore the honor of his uncle Sistings IV family's honor, which required him to make various decisions that were in line with the interests of the Luo Weire family.

These decisions include finding a marriage partner for their daughters that meets the needs of the family.

At least now it seems that the decision to marry Barenti to his nephew in order to win over the Earl of Modilo of Naples was very correct.

In the process of becoming a cardinal, Modillo, the Earl of Naples, did play an unexpected role. Although it seems that Caesar's abandonment of the priest and Alfonso of Palermo was suddenly accused of committing a serious crime, if you think about it carefully, you will find that these things are always more or less involved with Modillo.

As for the marriageee himself, Old Rovere is not good at what he is now, or his true thoughts, just as he said to Laford in private: "I actually don't want Barenti to marry that Gombre."

Laford was surprised by his brother's words. In the Archbishop's opinion, the young Earl Montina is not only a household name in Rome, but also vaguely qualified to compete with the great nobles.

After all, although the authority of the Holy See has fallen, it can no longer be compared with those times when the powerful monarchs had great authority and could even force some powerful monarchs to bow their heads and kneel with expulsion, but being like the young Gombrey, was almost like directly challenging the authority of the Vatican, and even the Pope had to send people to negotiate with him, the young nobles who had to send people to negotiate with him were already proud of everything they had done.

"I know what you are thinking, but I just say these words to you, Laford," Old Rovery waved his hand. "As the leader of the family, I admit that Kombre is indeed excellent. If we can marry such a person, it will be very helpful to our family."

Speaking of this, Old Rover paused, and continued under the slightly confused gaze of Laford, "But as a father, I don't like him, this is too ambitious, or," he seemed to have thought about the word "not a good choice to be a husband,"

Laford looked at his brother in amazement. He didn't expect that Old Rover would say such words. In his opinion, his brother's ambition would only be greater than that of Gombrey. He could vaguely realize that his brother not only wanted to be the pope, but also always hoped to become the most powerful monarch.

Since this is the case, why did he just comment on the young Gombrey like this?

"I know what you are thinking," Old Rovery smiled at his brother's surprise and said, "Don't compare me with him, we are different, and Barendi is not her mother either."

Laford seemed to understand something vaguely, and he asked carefully: "Is it because of that Lucrezia?"

Old Luo Weile nodded, but then shook his head to deny it.

Laford did not continue asking, knowing that there were some things he shouldn't ask.

After being summoned by the Pope, Ruosha returned to the Marino Palace. She was still as enthusiastic as before to deal with business and the architects who came to visit from time to time.

The Master Bramute, who was originally in charge of the palace renovation, was sent to Montina by Ruosha. Before leaving, Ruosha had a serious conversation with the master. After confirming the entire reconstruction plan for the Marino Palace, she asked Bramute to recommend several people who could continue to work on his behalf during his absence.

According to Ruosha's plan and the scale she imagined, the new Marino Palace will be more than twice as large as the current one. Except for the main building, there will be no major changes, and the entire palace will expand the scope of more than 200 Dharmashuo.

This is obviously a very expensive and time-consuming project. Many architects were very excited after hearing about it, especially when they heard that it was Bramute, they tried their best to join it.

Because these people know very well that being able to work with this master is not only enough to show off to others, but also brings great benefits to their status and reputation.

Because of this, it is very lively to visit Marino Palace during this period. There are always some people coming to visit, while more people come to try their luck.

The prosperity of Pisa has attracted many people's attention, especially the Barriali merchant named Matthews Tiego, who is simply a representative of the lucky ones.

Who would have thought that a bulk merchant who had just been running alone in the Mediterranean and made a living by making some hard money was just to meet the brother and sister because of his good luck.

No one knows how much Diego made when he opened an exchange in Pisa, but from his generous appearance after he came to Rome, he can guess that this person must have made a fortune in Pisa.

People are jealous of the good luck of this Barriali businessman, but they hope that such good things will come to them.

So during this period, people always find various excuses to try to meet Miss Cosenca. Although no one believes that the business of the Free Trade Zone is gradually being known, this lady is managing it, but they know that as long as they can get the appreciation of this lady, they will have a chance to make a fortune in Earl Montina.

The Earl brother and sister have a good relationship, which everyone knows.

Life seems to be no different from before, but Ruosha knows that she has been under house arrest.

If she showed even a little intention to leave Rome, the Pope would completely tear off her last disguise and send someone to force her to detain her. The guards left in Marino Palace were not enough to compete with the Pope's private guard.

So Ruosha continued to stay in Rome well and continued to play a noble lady in the Marino Palace who was very interested in building palaces, purchasing artworks, and making money.

Barenti could sense the subtle changes in Rusha's situation, because whenever she came to visit, she could always see some people near Marino Palace.

These people did not hide their identities, or did this to warn the people inside not to do stupid things. As for every time Barenti left, some of them would come forward to greet and visit the carriage on the excuse. After seeing that there was no second person hidden inside, those people would salute respectfully and leave.

Barenti didn't come to Marino Palace many times before, and it seemed a little unpleasant every time. The one that impressed her the most was a bohemian girl who had saved her before but later turned against her and became extremely rough after turning against her, taking turns chasing her with an amazingly large sword.

But now Barendi has become a regular visitor here. The Bohemian girl who plays big swords all day long has disappeared. The superficial Lucrezi is not in Rome. It is very important to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with her future sister-in-law.

So although Lucrezia and Alexander's "elopement" made her feel a little embarrassed, Barenti still insisted on visiting Marino Palace frequently.

Matthews Tiego stood respectfully in a corner of the hall, waiting for the two ladies who had already passed through the corridor.

Seeing Diego, Ruosha, who was talking to Barenti, nodded slightly, and then continued to accompany Barenti towards the door.

Barenti looked at Diego curiously. She knew this businessman, a small person from the Bali Ali Islands, but now she has become the lucky one who is envied by many Romans.

That Alexander really had a magical power that could actually make such a person a newcomer to Rome.

Barenti suddenly felt inexplicably impulsive. She wanted to go to Pizza to see what the exchange that was said to have made many people crazy about was like, and she also wanted to see how those pizza merchants transferred a large amount of money from the Florentines.

Barenti vaguely felt that many things would change, especially the business method that has been familiar with over the years, which could change dramatically with everything that happened in Pizza.

What else can be more exciting than this change? Barendi always believed that the final decision of a family or even a country was not the army that seemed to be powerful, but the power of money.

Only the huge benefits that can lead people to go crazy will push people forward continuously. Barendi hopes to make the Rovere family prosperous, and at the same time, she also wants to see what else this power can change.

"If possible, I want to go to Pisa," Barenti told Ruosha, she knew she needed the help of her sister-in-law. "I'm very interested in what's going on there."

Looking at Barenti's pretty but ordinary face, Ruosha's first thought was: This woman was going to Pisa to catch the traitor!

But she quickly denied this absurd idea.

Barendi is not a big-breasted and brainless bohemian wild girl. She will not waste her time on such boring things. For her, the interests of the Lovere family are much more important than jealousy.

Unless, jealousy is also related to family interests?

Ruosha was not sure why Barenti suddenly made this request, so she just expressed her approval cautiously.

Although it may cause some unexpected things to let this woman go to Pizza, Ruosha is not very worried, that is, Alexander should not be fascinated by Barenti.

The reason is very simple, Barenti is not beautiful.

Although he doesn't like Sophia and Lucrezia, Ruosha cannot but admit that Alexander has a high vision, and at least the girls he likes are all very beautiful.

While thinking about it, Ruosha said helplessly: "But you know that Alexander is not in Pisa now, he is fighting."

"I'm not in a hurry," Barenti smiled. "Maybe it's enough to wait for the war to end, but it will take me a long time to wait for him to come to Rome."

Ruosha knew what Barenti was hinting. Alexander had promised him to come to Rome in person to see her, but what came later was the news that he had captured the Pope's son.

Perhaps even if this conflict can be resolved smoothly, no one will believe that Alexander dares to come to Rome. After all, the Bogia family is not the kind of person who will swallow his anger after being bullied.

Until Barenti left, Diego stood far away. He knew his identity very well. As the person promoted by the brother and sister in front of him, Diego knew who he had now come from.

"Have you been in the Carolingan Palace smoothly?"

Hearing Ruosha's inquiry, Diego nodded. He knew Ruosha was not polite to him. In fact, he had noticed that it seemed that in addition to having a good conversation with Count Montina, the Count was not close to others.

Sometimes Diego wondered if the lady was like this when she was with her mother. If this was the case, it would only mean that the relationship between the brother and sister was really good.

"Miss. I was very frightened before the Count ordered me to come. After all, this is Rome, but now it seems that everything we do in Pisa should have played a role. The people in the Carolingians showed me a rare kindness."

Ruosha nodded, she knew that Diego was not lying or exaggerating.

Although the wealth that Pisa suddenly gathered like a magic trick was not surprising in the eyes of the Romans, what interested them was the way of doing it and those people.

Tiego is undoubtedly the most eye-catching of these people. His exchange, his futures loan method, and his accurate grasp of the timing and means of investing large quantities of goods into Florence, which were all talked about by the Romans.

Now that this person has come to Rome, there are naturally countless people trying to understand all this from there.

"Tell them, tell them everything without reservation," Ruosha said lightly, "and let everyone know the role my brother plays in it, and let them know whose support is needed behind all this."

Tiego nodded his head and took the order. Although he had just arrived in Rome, it did not mean that he knew nothing, especially when he had nothing to do and drank and chatted with a proud monk who was now in Rome, he soon learned about some recent things in Rome.

Let everyone know the key role played by Count Montina in this, and at the same time, they know the huge impact of the free trade zone on the "Miracle of Pisa", and even let people truly understand that in order to obtain wealth like the Pisa merchants in the future, they must rely on Count Montina's support.

What happens when these news spread in Rome, how will people think of the person who can bring them great wealth?

What kind of attitude will you have towards the conflict between the Pope and Alexander?

Isn’t it even a papal’s own interests confused?

Although she seemed to have to stay in Marino Palace all day because of house arrest, Ruosha was helping her brother in her own way.

It took Nomero 3 days to walk the road from Rome to Livo, which was actually very fast for him. His personal secretary was not good at riding horses, and the scorching pain on the inner thighs had torment him for two days.

Thinking about the last time I suffered this crime, it was because Lucrezia was robbed, and Nomero thought that Gombre was really the nemesis of the Borgia family.

The Pope's army was still stationed on the low hills. Interestingly, in order to solve the supply problem, the Montina army allowed the Pope's army to cross the open ground to buy some fish every day to the small docks on the coast.

This is not a bad thing. Every time I pass by those chest walls of varying heights and heights, looking at the black muskets protruding from the wall, the mercenaries will feel a sense of indescribable fear, not to mention that some of them look powerful, and if they really hit the body, they will probably be smashed to pieces.
