Chapter 218 Special Economic Zone

"The eighth type will soon be. The emperor is learning Chinese with me these two days, and I also want me to translate the Chinese book for him. I only have a copy of "Theory of the Sea Power" you wrote. Can you show him?" Carl has not only friendship, but also respect for his cousin. Before he met Hong Tao, he probably was his idol, and more knowledge was sometimes personal charm.

"Of course, it's written for people to read. I hope all the kings in Europe will read my books, so that after they see the Golden River, they will not need me to talk nonsense, and they can evaluate who speak in their hearts. Lao Ka, sometimes it is much easier to interact with wise people than with confused people. Only wise people can understand the deterrence. For example, now we attack the tribes in Africa. No matter how many people you kill with cannons, they will still rush forward with a dart. Because they don't understand the power of cannons, they just think that the gods abandon themselves. If they rush again, maybe the gods will favor them, so they will continue to fight endlessly. But fight with your cousin.

The war is different. Just let him suffer once or twice, and he can judge whether his country can withstand it or not, and then he will make wise choices, so that many people can die less. Fear is sometimes a good thing, and knowledge is the source of fear. I am usually fearless, and the more I know, the more timid I know. I know more, right? Look at me, most of the time I don’t even dare to go ashore. Is this the truth?" Hong Tao’s words are true. He really hopes that the whole world can read his own books and then re-understand the world. In this way, when he goes to other countries, he doesn’t have to be polite and then the soldiers. As long as he shouts a cannon, everyone will surrender and there is no need to fight.

"I heard that your cousin was fighting with the Lombards, why didn't he let his son, your nephew send troops from the German Kingdom, and attack from the north and south?" Hong Tao had just arrived a day and had heard more than once about the Lombards War. He was very curious about the Lombards War. Why was it so difficult for an imperial emperor to fight? Hong Tao didn't know where Lombards was. At this time, the maps of Europe were like the maps of the Song Dynasty, and were roughly in the Milan area.

"...ah. This is also the reason why my cousin hated the pope even more. His favorite son two years ago, Henry VII, the German King, was bewitched by the pope to participate in the rebellion. He was deprived of his inheritance rights and is now locked in a prison in Naples. Yesterday I wanted to persuade my cousin to release Henry, or to be locked up in Palermo, and go see him. After all, he was his favorite son before, and maybe he was confused for a while." Carl shook his head, thought for a while before saying that it was really like.

"You are not the emperor, and you can't be the emperor, and you don't understand his pain. He will definitely not release Henry, and I won't be. He can still save Henry's life, which is much more merciful than me. If it were me, I would have asked him to meet God directly, just pretend that I have never given birth to this son. Betrayal! Do you know why I hate others lying to me the most? Because this will make me distrust myself, it is a very bad feeling. Your cousin is probably such a person, his childhood told me.

He cannot tolerate betrayal." Hong Tao did not expect that the emperor was so miserable that he even betrayed his own son. Hong Tao did not agree with Carl's suggestion. He could never tolerate such things. If Sefei and Hongzehu grew up, they betrayed him. He had only two choices, one was to retreat and the other was to destroy them. There was no third way to go. Frederick II's choice was much more kind than himself. He had only one way, and he had no room to retreat.

"Then will you help him? He is really not a bad emperor. At least he won't be thinking about harming you like the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. You can even help the Song Dynasty. Why can't you help my cousin? If you don't want to stay here, can you let me stay and help him? I only need a Malacca ship. I have to allow me to return to Cape Town to supply shells and ****s. I promise not to teach them the technology of Jinhewan. I swear to God!" Carl and Hong Tao spared a long time and told Hong Tao that Frederick II's **s was to arouse Hong Tao's sympathy. However, he was not qualified and too anxious. The circle was not big enough, and he couldn't wait for this method to produce results.

"You are not a qualified lobbyist. Your cousin seems to trust you quite... Old Ka, artillery cannot solve all problems, and some things can only be more and more troublesome by using force alone. I can help your cousin to win the war with Lombardy, and even help him kill both Venice and the Pope, but in this way, your cousin becomes the public enemy of the entire Europe and the world of Christ. He is an invader who colludes with foreign races, and this hat can easily be put on his head. Think about it, he

How many crusades will the empire go through? Maybe when we die of old age, this war will not be over. Would you like to see this situation?" Hong Tao came to Europe to make trouble, but he didn't want to be a war. It would be too inhumane to do it, and it would cause the whole European creatures to suffer. There is no need. He has a more hidden, more effective and more trouble-free way to toss Europe. Not only do he have to toss them, but after finishing, they also have to praise themselves. This is the perfect pursuit of a multinational messenger.

"What should I do? Otherwise, I beg you to help my cousin snatch Lombardy and I will tell my cousin that he would not have to bear the responsibility for foreign invasion. I will bear it. I am from Jinhewan, so I am not afraid of this accusation!" Carl could not think of Hong Tao's twists and turns in his heart. If Hong Tao hadn't understood his nature very well, he would have been so loyal to his cousin that he would have left him and returned long ago.

"You'd better stop being so mean. I'll give you a task to teach Miss Jiang to ride a horse within two days. I'll talk to him about your cousin's affairs. You don't have enough brains and it's meaningless to mix it up. How about it?" Hong Tao didn't want to listen to Carl's nonsense again. He couldn't get any results after talking to him for a year. It's better to talk to the emperor directly. Since he was said to be a knowledgeable emperor in history, Carl also said that he was a very smart emperor, then two smart people should decide the future of Europe. If he could put aside religious prejudices and cooperate with himself, he would give him a complete empire, not only complete, but also sacred. If he was still entangled with his own little personal grudges and the Pope, he could only guarantee that he would take back Lombardy and not give him Venice to him, and he would be considered his own colony in Europe.

"No problem, if you say this earlier, I won't have to spend so much effort to chat with you all morning. You may not know that chatting with you is a very painful thing, very boring! Miss Jiang, come on, I will teach you how to ride a horse. It's riding from that horse. It's riding by a child, which will damage your beauty..." As soon as Hong Tao agreed, Carl immediately jumped down from the horse and ran to the grass, shouting while running, completely different from the sad look he had just now.

"Oh... Germany, you are unlucky. Who told you not to rely on the sea? You are just letting the Italians cheat their lives!" Hong Tao was actually unwilling to help Frederick II unify Italy. He himself didn't like the country of Italy. Hong Tao always believed that there was a bad guy in Europe, a waste guy, a bad guy was Britain, and a waste guy was Italy. If these two countries were eliminated, Europe should develop better. But this emperor was indeed his most suitable partner, and there was no way to deal with Carl's friendship. Fortunately, Germany was also under the rule of this emperor. Although it was not the focus, it should not be too bad. Take one step at the mercy of history. It is difficult for someone to let him do this.

With Carl accompanying Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Yu wandering around Sicily, Hong Tao has spared time to do serious things. Since he has explained his attitude to Carl, he doesn’t have to be careful and directly find Luo Youde to meet Frederick II. Why do you go? Of course, it’s a big business, and nothing is about to talk about. It’s a special economic zone!

Why did he talk with Luo Youde? He couldn't understand Latin. This is Hong Tao's lazy side. He would never do anything that could be shared by others, and he would never take over anything that could be done by others. In macro design, Hong Tao considered himself the best in the world, but in the details and specific implementation links, even a hundred of them could not surpass Luo Youde. He was born as a businessman. If he eliminated his foresight on historical development and his economic means and insights in later generations, he would not be a match for Luo Youde if he wanted to do a real business.

Now Hong Tao is going to be a hand-off manager again. He doesn't plan to do the business in Europe by himself, and he doesn't have the time to do it himself. He can do the follow-up work well and then hand it over to Carl to take charge. He and the emperor are cousins, and they have full trust between each other, and it will be smooth to cooperate. As for Carl's loyalty, Hong Tao is no longer very concerned. In this era, the most oyster merchants are much more loyal than him. This is a society that survives by credit. He is not afraid of anyone, and he can reduce ten times with one force! The consequence of his own is that a big cannon cannon can be smashed into a head and can't eat it. At this time, Europe really can't play the Age of Discovery. They will be exhausted just by playing shipbuilding. The artillery thing will be even more boring. It's too poor.
