Four hundred and fiftieth IX gifts that cannot be dragged
Chapter 459: The gift that cannot be dragged
The Sun King is undoubtedly very sincere.
That night, after receiving the agreement to purchase miraculous medicines from His Majesty the Pope and the Cardinal Conference of the Holy See, Louis XIV waved his pen without hesitation and guaranteed the agreement in the name of the French treasury.
When Ling Xiao received this peace agreement, he sighed that the Sun King was generous to others, and he couldn't help feeling happy for eight million taels of silver. He knew very well that money and interests have always been a big helper, but he has few helpers. He made a big profit and had to give some soup and water to the Sun King, who is very powerful. Otherwise, if the Holy See is in debt, would he really lead two thousand people to "flat" the Vatican to ask for the debt?
Therefore, at the dinner in the Hall of Mirror, Ling Xiao did not hesitate at all, and said to Louis XIV and the Director of Finance Ke Zhene, "Your Majesty, in order to demonstrate the deep friendship between France and China, and to thank His Majesty for their kind hospitality, our country will make a large-scale purchase from the Kingdom of France. The eight million taels of silver will be used to pay the payment for purchases from the Kingdom of France, but there are two conditions. One is that the price should not be too unfair. Second, what I want to order should be the leading goods in Europe, and it is mainly light and heavy machinery manufacturing equipment, such as mining, shipbuilding, steel and military industry!"
"Dao, Your Highness... All orders of eight million ounces of silver belong to my France?!"
Ke Zhene almost fainted in surprise. At first, he was still holding his thigh flesh and was a little unbelievable, but soon Ling Xiao nodded, his mind was so excited that his mind was numb. As the director of finance, Ke Zhene knew that the more he was ahead of Europe's manufacturing equipment, the greater the profit. Even if it was only very profitable, it would still be a profit of 800,000 taels of silver. His Highness Super King said it was not unfair. Didn't he obviously give some of the benefits to France? What's more, as long as French equipment is purchased, some subsequent related procurement will continue, obviously showing a long-term cooperation momentum!
Louis XIV also praised Ling Xiao for his journey. In fact, when he was making a guarantee, he was already looking forward to Ling Xiao giving him sweetness. After all, in the eyes of Louis XIV, Ling Xiao’s money was too fierce. Using some pig intestines and some herbs would get a huge sum of 2 million pounds. If he farted inside the bed - he would be so self-sacrificing, it would be hard tolerated, and both man and gods would be angry!
For a moment, both sides did not talk about what Ling Xiao wanted to purchase, but only knew how to persuade him to come forward and talked happily. Louis XIV held Ling Xiao's arm, sometimes laughing happily, sometimes raising his fingers and praising each other. The two guests and hosts were harmonious and had a bit of a "national-level dog meat friend".
This smell slowly spread from the chief, and it immediately made many nobles admire him. Not only did the super king's super status become increasingly unattainable, but his appearance was the Sun King favored by Ling Xiao, and it was also taller in the hearts of the nobles... This is the collaboration between the two powerful countries in the East and the West!
However, in the eyes of the nobles and politicians, there are also people with a keen sense of smell, who feel anxious.
The Russian Tsar Royal Family originated from Holy Rome and has always been incompatible with France, and it is a feud. Therefore, Russian Deputy Envoy Golovin kept pricking up his ears and listening to the conversation at the chief intently. Although it was noisy, he was not blind and could see Louis and Ling Xiao chatting and laughing. Golovin knew very well that China, the mortal enemy of the East, and France, the public enemy of the West, were all rivals of Russia. If both sides make peace and attack Russia, it would definitely be a disaster for the Russian nation!
Golovin, who valued the motherland the most, never expected that Ling Xiao and the Sun King had never mentioned Russia, and had never treated Russia as a "single"! But Golovin had considered it since then, and he thought about his vicious plan in his heart.
Similarly, Lord Morranston, the British plenipotentiary minister, was also one of the anxious ones.
Anyone who has rolled in the circle knows that a situation of European melee will begin. Although the French-Austrian Alliance and the Holy Alliance will not fight to the death, the outcome of the power competition means that who can legally own the vast colony that Spain has captured over two hundred years! Lord Moranceton is a person in the circle, and naturally he can understand the importance of the matter. Now, seeing the love between Super King and France so harmoniously, he cannot help but worry deeply... Although China is thousands of miles away, Ling Xiao's trade negotiations are invisibly changing the strength of the two alliances... At least, Ling Xiao's intimacy with the Sun King immediately strengthened the centripetal cohesion of the small countries around France!
When the dinner was over, Lord Moranceton returned to his room absent-mindedly and sat restlessly. While guessing whether Jingjing and Ling Xiao had ever performed the rituals of Duke Zhou, he cursed the slow decision-making of London, "The daylily is about to be cold, and super king is about to be won over by the Sun King. Why didn't London send Miss Jingjing's dowry and wealth?!"
But with the arrival of a cavalry messenger in the night, Moranceton understood that Miss Jingjing's "dodge" money was not just something that could be taken out, but it was clearly a wonderful gift. However, this gift could never be delivered to Paris... No matter how big the carriage was, it could not be dragged by an island country!
After much anticipation, Moranceton, who had finally received London instructions, immediately led his entourage to ask for a meeting with Super King, regardless of the late night. He left so excited and hastily that the rushing messenger was immediately invited away!
In the Palace of the Governor, the Sun King threw the copy of the letter from London onto the table, then punched the table with a blue face without saying a word. Louis XIV's solemn aura scared Ke Zhen so much that he was afraid of being afraid. Even the queen who had been favored for many years did not dare to ask what had happened.
The eunuch respectfully reported the news, interrupting the silence in the Nong Palace, "Your Majesty, Major General Krale has arrived!"
When he heard that Major General Krale, who had accompanied Ling Xiao to Europe, had arrived, Louis XIV nodded immediately and immediately announced his presence. Before the flattered Krale salute, the Sun King quickly threw the copy to Krale and said, "Major General, first read this letter clearly, and then you will reply to my question!"
Clarel took the letter in surprise and browsed it quickly, "Lord Moranceton: I and Queen Mary have received your previous report. Regarding the fact that Super King does not establish a relationship with Jingjing, I and the Queen agree with your judgment and agree with your solution. It is related to the overall situation in Europe, and it is far from the grudge between me and Louis Dwarf! It is crucial to impress the princesses of Super King to accept Jingjing, and this matter must not be careless! In recent days, I have reached a consensus with the Parliament, the Privy Council and the Danish royal family as follows. I have
After the decision was made to enthrone Jingjing as a princess. At the same time, our country purchased ownership of Ceylon Island (Sri Lanka, which Ling Xiao cultivated the LTTE) from the Danish royal family with a installment payment method of 5 million pounds, and then granted Princess Jingjing in the name of a title! The specific ownership method after that requires you to discuss in detail with Super King. Both I and the Queen believe in the Lord's patriotism and also firmly believe in the Lord's talents. Therefore, how do you defeat Louis' short man? I and my husband are waiting for good news in London!"
"I've finished reading, Major General?"
Louis XIV breathed a deep breath and suddenly roared in anger, "Queen, Ke Qing, Major General, this is such a great humiliation! William, the sick man in Britain, and his homosexual and perverted wife, actually called me a short Louis... He really had no demeanor and upbringing! Humph, when I and Charles II and James II drank and had not yet these two little kids in their thirties!"
The Sun King was obviously very annoyed by the abuse of the British king and his wife who were younger than his son. He was not willing to show the letter to others, but he had to make it public because of the seriousness. Of course, he had to vent his anger first. This venting furiously, under the comfort of the three of them and the sharing of hatred of the same enemy, took a long time to suppress it. The Sun King, who was slightly balanced in his heart, sweared viciously in his heart that if he had the chance to capture William and Mary alive, he must use the most vicious revenge method, which was to find a hundred lame and ugly women who roamed William, the sick husbands, and a hundred rude and strong men who roamed Mary, the lesbian!
"Viral! So vicious!" Clarel was not evaluating the Sun King's poisonous oath. Although he didn't know why Jingjing, who had met several times, became the British princess, as the commander of the Far Eastern colony, he quickly realized the viciousness of this command in London.
Facing Louis XIV's gaze, Krale said in a cold sweat, "Your Majesty, William and his wife gave Ceylon Island to Princess Jingjing, and their hearts were extremely sinister! ... The girl Jingjing is the confidante of His Highness Super King. It has been more than a day or two. Ceylon Island gave Princess Jingjing, but in the end it fell into the hands of Super King? ... Do you think, where is Ceylon? It is on the tip of the Indian Peninsula! It is from Guangdong, China.
How far? About three thousand nautical miles! As long as China's trade radius is slightly expanded by half, China can connect Guangdong and Ceylon Island... At that time, Vietnam and other places where we are concentrated will lose the reasonable relay position of trade, and they can only watch and watch, Britain and the Netherlands, which are calling for wind and rain in the Indian Ocean, make a lot of money!... In this regard, even if Super King has a good personal relationship with you, I am afraid he will have to consider China's interests!"
After saying this, Ke Zhene and the Queen were shocked. Even the Sun King couldn't help but change his color and stood up to stare at the map.
Yes, Krale made a lot of sense. This British order was indeed extremely poisonous, otherwise they would not have spent a lot of money to buy it from Denmark!
The three of them stared at Krale together, looking forward to the Major General giving everyone a countermeasure: neither offend Ling Xiao nor let Ying-Ho succeed. Krale could see the problem because he was responsible in the Far East, but how could he solve this major event that concerns the whole country? After a long time, he said, "Your Majesty... It seems that if you want to solve this matter, Princess Jingjing is the key link in the key... Is it necessary to cut it off..."
Tsk! The three of them immediately sneered in their hearts. Didn’t you say that Jingjing is Ling Xiao’s confidante? If you are trying to kill her, it’s better to turn against Ling Xiao and start a war now!
In the helpless troubles of everyone, the Sun King suddenly pointed to a place and laughed wildly.
Chapter completed!
