On January 16, 1624 in the Amon calendar, Zhao Hongjun sat up from his bedroom in Nicholas Manor. This time Nidalee was waiting next to him as expected, helping him get dressed.

Zhao Hongjun regained the feeling of being an Earl. Thinking back to the passionate kiss he had with Mengmeng in modern times, it seemed that Mengmeng was still there. He looked around uneasily, but was dizzy when Nidalee's big breasts dazzled him.

Looks like Mengmeng is still in Paris in this dimension.

While Nidalee was fastening the complicated buttons for him, she reported that not many people came to visit this time. Only Admiral Liuko contacted on the radio yesterday and said that he would come to the port today to exchange one ton of gold nuggets mined in the past six months.

This is already "routine", so don't worry. There are very few things to be transported this time, so Zhao Hongjun wants to just finish the transportation in one go. When he gets downstairs, he sees Raoul smiling and coming to pay tribute to the master.

It's been a long time since I last saw Raoul. This boy has changed into a baron's clothes and looks like a noble. He hasn't been around for a long time, and the fourth master is really not used to it when no one can finish his sentences in time.

The envoy of Frederick V has already come to the manor and held a knighthood ceremony for Raoul. The exiled king lost his roots and fled to the Netherlands. According to the system's judgment, Raoul's baronship is invalid.

of.

But the Baron of Bohemia is also a baron, isn't he? Raoul is not a tester, so it doesn't matter whether it is effective or not.

Raoul is in charge of the 8,800 dragoons in the eleven battalions of the Earl's Palace, plus an AK company. He is already a big shot outside. The title of Baron is nothing more than the icing on the cake. Only against Zhao Hongjun can he

He was smiling playfully without any formality.

Raoul reported that the two newly recruited regiments and two battalions were all in place. After being mixed with the original regiment, 6,400 people had been sent to Toulon to garrison.

The machine tools, computers, etc. were all delivered smoothly. The AK platoon has returned to the manor, and the gravel barracks is still only a regiment looking after the house.

The Earl's Palace is recruiting troops and horses aggressively, which has caused the price of French war horses to rise. The weapons have all been replaced by new muskets with bayonets in the muzzles produced in Bilbao, and bayonet charges are being trained diligently every day.

Toulon plans to recruit another artillery battalion. The troops at Nicholas Manor are not equipped with artillery, so as not to cause panic to Count Bert. However, the city walls of the manor need to be equipped with city defense artillery, which are all made by Basques and cost a lot of money.

For money, please check with his father, Mader.

Since Zhao Hongjun's silver coins exceeded 300 million, he no longer counts how much money he has. It's enough anyway. But in fact, Ma De will report detailed accounts to Zhao's mother every time. Zhao's mother seems to play mahjong every day and not do anything serious. In fact,

I know very well.

The reserve force in the Medoc drafted more than 6,000 people into the regular army, and immediately recruited refugees to make up the number of 10,000 people.

The social unrest caused by the Huguenot rebellion has been basically quelled by the infrastructure poverty alleviation project of the Tulip Earl's Palace. If Louis XIII sealed a count, France would make a lot of money.

The Earl's Palace's military force is already second to none among the French nobility, and anyone else would have been attacked by the king.

Fortunately, the Earl's Palace has been creating public opinion in the society. The purpose of recruiting so many troops is to attack the Spaniards and obtain colonies as fiefs. Didn't they all be sent to Toulon? This is what the King promised, and the royal family feels at ease.

.

In addition, all the nobles in the country, including the rebellious Duke Luohan, are tied together by the Bank of France and the Earl of Tulip. The top public opinion in the country says that the Earl of Tulip is a very loyal minister.

As the commander of the French Second Fleet, Count Tulip's recruitment of so many troops was completely in line with the rules of the kingdom, so the recruitment could go smoothly.

After Raoul finished his report, he naturally stood behind the fourth master and became the count's entourage again. Zhao Hongjun went to have breakfast, and Raoul was also eating with him. At this time, Angelo pinched some

.

Angelo did this on purpose. As a person who is qualified to dine with the Earl's Mansion, Angelo's principle is to take advantage of it as much as possible. Angelo is an insider and knows that when the Earl comes online, it will be

Come and see what new instructions the Lord has.

It is certain that the earl will fly like a dragon in the sky one day. "At that time, the earl was still a little earl. I often had breakfast with the earl and talked about national affairs." That can last a lifetime.

Earl Tulip wisely invited Captain Angelo to have breakfast with him. There was no such thing as not talking during the meal in the Earl's Mansion. As a pure Chinese, major matters are basically decided at the dining table.

Angelo reported that the shipping route to Azov has been opened, food and ammunition are being sent continuously, a large amount of food from the east coast has been arrived, and the first batch of leather goods has also arrived. After communication, a little extra freight has been added, and directly

Pick up your order in Azov.

The East Coast has a very good relationship with the Ottoman Empire, and goods passing through the Bosporus are exempted from inspection. Some prohibited items, such as arms, are simply transported under the banner of the East Coast, which saves money on bribing officials.

, security is also greatly increased.

Originally, this was supposed to pay some fees to the people on the east coast, but it is said that a veteran named Li Wenchang decided to waive it. The people on the east coast also pointed to our two banks in the European Union to give them blood transfusions. It is mutually beneficial to make it convenient for us.

thing.

France and the Ottoman Empire also had good relations because they had a common enemy, the Austrians.

The reason why Zhao Hongjun asked Dr. Chen to come forward to engage in the Cossacks was that he only secretly supported it and openly disowned the relationship with the Cossacks, because he wanted to use the good relationship between the Ottomans and France to cooperate on North African affairs in the future.

After breakfast, Zhao Hongjun felt that if he ran out of money in the future and became more famous, he could sell the place for a meal together for a fee, and if he paid more, he could accompany him for drinks.

Fourth Master likes to chat with others while eating and drinking. It is a happy way to make money. By the way, does Buffett have the same hobbies as him?

Zhao Hongjun performed a great offline magic in front of Angelo. He first transported Mr. Javier's baggage and gave it to Angelo. He ordered it to be sent to Gijon immediately and handed over to the advisor of the King of Spain.

in hand.

He also asked Raoul to go to the warehouse to get a military radio and give it to Angelo. Although Pique has not sneaked into the core of the European League, Spain is an important country in Europe and communication at all times is necessary.

Angelo saw his lord perform magic with his own eyes, which further increased his sense of belonging to the European Union. This was the true blessing of God Amon. Who has ever seen bishops or even the Pope have this ability?

After sending Angelo away, Zhao Hongjun plucked up the courage and moved all the remaining twenty-seven boxes in one breath. Now his heart became much brighter. I don't create wealth, I am just a porter of wealth.

The seventeen boxes of silver coins added to the small mountain of silver coin boxes don't seem to be much more. There is no point in having more money. Since the old boss was sensible, why not lend more to support the East Coast, and he will also get interest, right?

It was already noon after moving the boxes, and James walked over, ready to have lunch. He was more demanding than Angelo, and the most sumptuous lunch involved drinking. Zhao Hongjun patted James on the back and said, "

Brother, if you don’t want to eat at home, let’s go to the port to meet Liu Ke for a drink.”
