Chapter 28 Oriental Treasures and Memories of the Past (Part 2)

"Did the porcelain, silk and tea here all come from the Eastern Ming Empire?" Ladislaus once again turned his attention to the Ming imported products that made him extremely friendly.

"Most of them are produced in Japan, which is an island country next to the Ming Dynasty. There are not only porcelain, silk and tea, but also distinctive weapons from the Ming Dynasty and Japan. Look, this is called the Painted Gaul. I spent a year in the Ming Dynasty and learned this unique martial arts." Niya Leona finally remembered her duties and began to sell goods.

She was so bold that she danced a sword flower in a shop full of porcelain, using the strange weapon she equipped with, which scared Old John to pull out the weapon.

Fortunately, she was neither trying to threaten Radislaus, and her skills were indeed extraordinary, so she did not cut into those bottles and jars at all.

Even Anna was attracted by the charm of this alien weapon.

However, Ladislaus was obviously not very interested in those cold-light weapons, but continued to look at the porcelain vases and dishes. Not only the porcelain itself, but also the costumes of the far east figures on the porcelain also gave Ladislaus a very strange feeling.

Anna remembered some knowledge about the East at this time and asked strangely: "According to the previous generation's true choice of His Majesty the Pope, hasn't the arbitration of the Pope's Meridian, which has divided the spheres of influence of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese, and gave the interests of the East to the Kingdom of Portugal? How could you Spaniards still interfere in the business of East India?"

Ladislaus, who was standing beside him, was silent, not sure whether he was studying the word "Fu" that was flying in the porcelain cup too seriously, or realized that his continued answering would probably anger Anna and cause unpredictable events, and he did not make any sound.

This question is just that for all the members of the Lord of Dawn, it can be answered.

"Hey, why do everyone think so? The Pope Meridian should only divide the sphere of influence between the Black Continent and the New Continent. The plane we live in is round, and we can reach the Ming and Japan from east to west. But now everyone agrees that, including the Spice Islands and the Ming Dynasty, Japan's routes should be monopolized by the Kingdom of Portugal. Even the most precious islands in the Spice Islands that our church has controlled will be ceded to them. They are the Moruga Islands, which produce lilacs and cinnamon alone." This question is probably a major issue related to Niya Leona, so this girl was beyond Radislaus's expectations and explained the whole story very clearly.

"Didn't the Oriental Supplement Line drawn last year place the Philippines and Taiwan on the Spanish side? You should still be able to continue the trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan." Ladislaus finally couldn't help asking this question that he was very concerned about.

"No, the supply points on the front line of the Spice Islands to Goa, Mosanbik, Cape of Good Hope, and Luanda are all controlled by the Kingdom of Portugal. After last year, they refused to provide supplies to the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Spain. We have no way to fly straight from Quanzhou to Seville. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty believes that Taiwan is part of their empire. The power of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to that of the indigenous people of the archipelago. We cannot establish a stable large stronghold. So this year I did not follow the caravan and could only be sent here to see the store." Anna said very lonely.

"Will His Majesty Charles Habsburg, who are both the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of Spain, admit defeat, just like that. Portugal is indeed not weak in foreign countries, but is it the opponent of the Spanish army on the mainland?" At least Anna can figure out who is stronger in Spain or Portugal.

"I don't know, I also think the emperor is the co-lord of the world. The Spanish-Austrian community should be more than enough to deal with Portugal. I don't know why, even if the emperor accepted the compensation of two million tales, our Lansendel Church also received the compensation of one hundred and fifty thousand tales, I won't mention it. Alas, relying on the spices from those small islands, we can support many orphanages, and the children can eat fish once a month." When he said that, the kind girl seemed to cry.

The two ladies only understand the simple comparison of strength and size, and the popular science of geopolitical still depends on Ladislaus, who cares most about the world situation.

"Of course the Spanish-Austrian alliance can deal with Portugal, but the Habsburg family has too many enemies. First, France, which has the most populous population of Europa, and then the Ottoman Sultanate that had just annexed Egypt, is also attacking Hungary, an ally of Austria. There are also a large number of northern princes supporting Martin Luther in the Holy Roman Empire, and most of the Italian city-states are at the two ends.

Spain also needs to invest in its strength in managing the new world. If it is too tight and pushes Portugal behind it to France, the Habsburg family will be even more worried."

The greater the power, the greater the burden, and that's it.

"But don't you be too pessimistic, the distance from Nagasaki to the New World is much closer than that from Quanzhou to Seville. Maybe you can take this route in the future?" Ladislaus did not forget to cheer up other subordinates of his boss.

"The nearest future will definitely not work. The orc slaves and Malay slaves who retreated this time were bought by the Ming Empire by plane at a low price. According to the Ming Emperor's intention, Taiwan's strongholds were also demolished or handed over to the Ming Dynasty. And even if they were relatively close, they were close to the limit of the Karak Sailboat. No one would be willing to invest in that route for the better Galen ship. If there was no margin at all, the sailors would not be willing to sail. Moreover, the natives and their pseudo-gods on the New World are still resisting us. It is too dangerous to transport them through the New World by land.

However, the Kingdom of Spain will definitely win in the end. Our Lord of the Dawn Church is also organizing new adventures. Maybe next year I will be recalled to Spain to fight in the New World. Of course, it is very likely to fight in the Black World. I am really not very good at doing business." It seems that Niya Leona is quite motivated.

"Did the Ming Dynasty also use orcs as slaves?" Radislaus asked with great concern.

"Of course, the orcs are of course slaves to our humans. There are also many orc tribes in the north of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the world was chaotic two hundred years ago and once threatened Europa. The orc tribes there are still very powerful. The Ming Dynasty has always suffered from insufficient slaves. This is also a strange place for the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, they suffer from insufficient slaves, but on the other hand, they think that even the orcs can enlighten and educate. It's really ridiculous. What do you think, Mr. Tyrol?"

Ladislaus wanted to have a good chat with this lady, but the timing was wrong.

"How much does this porcelain rose perfume bottle cost?" Anna was playing with a delicate and small bottle in her palm.

"Twenty-five Tales." Niya Leona, who realized that today was finally able to chat and have a great time, but also to start a business, replied loudly.

"It's more expensive than my jade perfume bottle? Here's a discount." Anna likes smooth and fair porcelain very much, but she still has to talk about bargaining.

"I'm sorry, although I like you very much, the Bishop has instructed that all the prices he set are fixed at a fixed price and cannot be bargained." Niya Leona was very nervous and would lose her business. After all, although the Bishop was quite satisfied with his defense work, the turnover was also very important.

This is also reasonable. Letting this natural girl be responsible for bargaining is probably going to let down these precious goods that have been wandering thousands of miles away, so she is actually just a security guard who cannot be considered a shopkeeper. The bishop of the Lord of Dawn can still be used by evaluating talents. Moreover, a single price in such high-end stores will not cause any disadvantages.

"Twenty-five tales are only twenty-five tales, as long as you like Anna. How much does this thing cost?"

Anna looked at the few neatly-cut fine wood that Ladislaus wanted to buy. Ladislaus was clamping two fine woods with his thumb and index finger, and his middle finger was pressing against the middle.

"Oh, how do you know that chopsticks should be used like this? Sir, you are so smart. This is an oriental tableware. Although it uses very smelly fragrant wood, because there is no market in Europe in the past few batches, the Bishop gave me the ocean allowance. If it is sold, it will be my bonus, so you can just give it." Finally, I can give it a discount to my favorite guests. This lovely girl was very happy to have no regard for her own interests at all.

This should not be clever, but something deep in the soul touches Ladislaus.

However, the busy life gave Ladislaus no time to recall the familiar feeling when he picked up the strange tableware.

I can't say a few more words to this vibrant girl, I don't know what else to do if my fate will be.

Because Old John on the side signaled that the time was almost over, he had to go back to the embassy to prepare for the important dinner guests.

After leaving forty Tale payments and ten Tale's orphanage donations, Ladislaus left the reluctant Nia Leona with perfume bottles and three pairs of chopsticks.

On the carriage back, Anna still held a chopstick in each hand and demonstrated to Ladislaus what she thought was the correct usage.

But Ladislaus was still stubborn, holding two chopsticks with one hand, looking out the window, as if he was trapped in some distant memories.
