Chapter 267 Trading (twenty-seven)

The brand new banquet hall was brightly lit and crowded with people. Since the second half of last year, Barcelona has not held a large dance party. The great nobles also knew that they were annoying and did not dare to do anything to attract hatred. The summer harvest was over, and the Eastern Roman court announced the grain harvest, and announced that each soldier could get five kilograms of malt sugar every month, and his family members could get another two kilograms.

The order was ordered to inform the soldiers and families of the army through the Legion recipe to the greatest extent. The Legion, which had been worried, finally settled down. There was no need to worry about the Legion's rebellion, invited all the nobles across the country to attend the large-scale dance party. It was too hot during the day and Sheila did not participate in the afternoon activities. When the carriage I was riding stopped at the entrance of the dance venue, there was only a dazzling sunset left in the horizon. The three-story building in front of me was brightly lit and looked even brighter than the sunset. This building had just been completed and fully reflected the style of the Song Dynasty. It was just one word, big.

The upper floors of Eastern Rome dare not build a large-scale project at this time, and the office of the Europa Province in Constantinople is no longer there. A large number of new buildings rose up in the planned area, and the hotel was the first to complete it. Naturally, the first dance party had to be held by Basels to show respect.

Following the road illuminated by the gas lamp, Sheila passed the imperial guards and the etiquette officers to strictly inspect it. Sheila followed the courtyard road to the door of the banquet hall. Although she was prepared, Sheila was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic nobles after entering the door. Everyone asked questions, and the surroundings were the carrot that was popular recently. Sheila was thinking about how to make these guys focus on how to farm, but when she saw the crowd parted, the Minister of Finance walked in from the passage and said to Sheila: "Come with me. There are a few VIPs who want to see you."

Sheila followed the ministers to leave the crowd and saw the Great Song Mu diplomat standing next to the table at the buffet, next to several blond and blue-eyed barbarians. Since the Roman era, I wanted to distinguish between the Romans, Roman allies, and barbarians, and just look at the color of the hair. From Italy to the Anatolian Peninsula, most of them are Semitic blood, with dark hair and dark eyes, and dark skin.

Looking at the Prosecutor Mu of the Great Song Dynasty beside the Swallower, she saw that her skin was fair and red. This vibrant color was very different from the pale skin of the Swallower. Seeing Sheila stopping to watch, the Minister of Finance urged: "These are nobles of France, England and Shinra. They said they had heard of you for a long time and wanted to meet you."

"I don't like those people." Sheila said bluntly.

The Minister of Finance was stunned. He could understand this simple feeling. The Semu barbarian always represented barbarism and threat to Rome. Western Rome first fell into the hands of the barbarians, and then Eastern Rome was also ravaged by the barbarians several times and once destroyed the country. Of course, Sheila did not like these Semu people.

The ones who saved Eastern Rome were almost black-haired and black-eyed allies, from Mongolia to the Song Dynasty. Although the allies from the East were not real black-haired, but a dark brown almost black. The Eastern Romans did not care about this. Compared with the gap between the Romans and the Semu Barbarians, this gap was very small.

"Just meet again." The Chancellor of the Finance Department advised.

"What did they do when they see me? Do you want to buy malt sugar?" Sheila asked disdainfully.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said: "They came here to express their respect to Basels. As for themselves, they wanted to ask Basels to help them go on a pilgrimage."

"Then we should ask the Mongols." Sheila smiled. At this time, the holy land of Jerusalem was in the hands of the Mongols, and it was not the turn of the Eastern Roman Empire to get involved in this matter.

The Finance Minister sighed: "Things are very complicated. The court thinks that since they are here, they must be polite. Go and meet."

Meeting was as boring as I thought. Several nobles of the Semen did not know Latin at all. Their translated Latin with the accent of the northern barbarian areas. Sheila felt that the accent of these people was not as good as that of the Mu diplomats of the Song Dynasty. At least they spoke Latin with phonetic symbols. The accent was no longer unfamiliar, and the general direction was correct. Moreover, the soft Latin accent of the Song Dynasty sounded cute and comfortable, at least Sheila thought so.

The Semu nobles said things like saying long-term reputation, and Sheila didn't care at all. If possible, she hoped not to deal with the barbarians in her life. After the Semu nobles finally met with the female diplomats of the Song Dynasty and the female senators of the Eastern Romans, the Minister of Finance started chatting with these people again. The Semu nobles asked again: "Your Excellency, Eastern Romans and Western Romans are both religious friends, why can't they unite with us to deal with the Yuan Kingdom?"

When the Minister of Finance heard this, he wanted to slap these people. At this time, he remembered the church members. When he robbed Constantinople, he didn't see them. He remembered that everyone was a church member. Just think about it in his heart. The Minister of Finance asked, "I wonder how the battle situation of the Crusaders in Poland?"

The Yuan Kingdom has stopped engaging in all four parties during this period, and the Eastern Romans are too lazy to deal with the Yuan Kingdom. They know very little about the wars that broke out in Poland.

"The Knights of the Crusaders have achieved great results." The Semu noble replied. More than two years ago, the Yuan Dynasty conquered Warsaw, and looked like he was going to fight westward. The entire Western European countries were scared to unite. When Beyan seized Italy, the remnants of the Roman Catholic Church who fled to the territory of the Teutonic Knights reorganized the Holy Roman Empire in Marinburg. The Teutonic Knights, the Holy Roman Empire, the countries led by England and France met with the Knights in Marinburg and rebuilt a new Crusader with the Yuan Dynasty as the target. The Semu noble noble told the Chancellor proudly, "The Knights of the Yuan Dynasty were defeated by us in Warsaw and had withdrawn from Warsaw. The Crusaders were considering launching an attack on Kiev. If Eastern Rome could launch an attack from the south, they would definitely defeat the Yuan Dynasty completely."

The Semu nobles said that this was the same thing. The Minister of Finance had heard it several times. This was not the direction of finance responsibility, so he asked the question arranged by the court: "If you want to go to the holy land to make a pilgrimage, you only have to pay the ship fee to the Europa Province."

The current overlord of the Eastern Mediterranean is the fleet of the Europa Province. They do not make things difficult for them to stop the interview activities, and provide a lot of shipping services. I wonder what the Western European countries and Knights Orders are about the Europa Province. So I heard the Semu nobles say: "The Knights and the Knights Templars have always hoped to regain their territory."

"Haha." The Minister of Finance laughed out loud. It was indeed inappropriate to laugh like this, but the Minister of Finance couldn't help it. The Yuan Dynasty made people feel disliked in the four-sided alliance because of their own. If the Europa Province asked East and West Rome to participate in the military operations of the various countries in the Western European countries due to the hostility of various forces in Europe, East and West Rome should have participated.

Just as the Minister of Finance was about to tell the Semu nobles about the alliance between the four sides, the Semu nobles spoke first, "Your Excellency, are you going to make an alliance with the pagans?"

Since the nobles of Semu took their own humiliation, the Minister of Finance did not want to coax them. The minister put away his smile and said seriously: "First, many people in the Yuan Kingdom believe in Eastern sects. Second, Song Kingdom is atheism, and they are not pagans. Third, Eastern Rome, Western Rome, Yuan Kingdom and Europa Province have signed a four-party alliance. The treaty stipulates that once the Yuan Kingdom requests the other three parties to send troops, we have an obligation to send troops. Based on what you said just now, I think I have answered your request. The Eastern Rome Empire will strictly abide by the covenant."

The four-party alliance is not a secret agreement, but all parties never preach the military terms. After all, when the treaty was concluded, Mongolia was in its heyday. The Yuan and the Western Roman Empire were nominally the ministers of Mongolia. But the situation was different. Mongolia no longer had the power of the past. With Hao Ren being killed, the attitudes of the Yuan and the Western Roman Empire towards Mongolia also changed tremendously. At least the Great Khan of the Mongolian could no longer allow the Yuan Kingdom to serve Mongolia.

The purpose of the military content in the Europa Province was to in case of a military conflict with the Mongol Empire, the Yuan and the Western Roman Empire could not participate in Mongolia. Now it has become an obligation to provide military assistance to the covenant countries.

The nobleman Semu was shocked by the words of the Minister of Finance. They did not expect that things would develop to this point. In desperation, they asked loudly: "Do you want to betray God for yourself?"

This sound is not small, and many nobles next to him looked over. The Minister of Finance felt that he had received enough information and was no longer polite. Long-term dissatisfaction surged out, "Boral God? The Roman Catholic Church has long been declared expelled from the church by the Patriarch of Constantinople. You also elected these blasphemers as popes. After your death, your souls will suffer forever in hell. The souls of your ancestors will suffer forever because of your evil, and fall into the hands of the devil forever torture! You apostates..."

The Eastern Roman nobles next to him were initially surprised when they listened to the fierce words of the Minister of Finance, and then nodded in empathy. Eastern Romans had long accumulated endless hatred for the Semu barbarians, and the Eastern Roman Empire was fully qualified to make religious statements. The orthodox cross religion was in Eastern Rome, and the Roman Catholic Church was just a puppet supported by European barbarians. Those Roman priests who licked barbarians were simply apostates.

Being cursed like this, the noble man Seminyak was angry, and some of them shouted loudly: "I want to duel with you!"

The Chancellor of the Finance Department didn't care about this at all, and ordered the Imperial Guards beside him: "Take them out."

At this time, classmate Mu was talking to Hao Kang who came to the dance. When he heard the commotion, both of them looked over. Seeing that the Imperial Guard pushed and shoved several semen out of the venue, the two young men didn't care at all. Hao Kang deliberately tilted his head and looked at it for a moment, then smiled and said, "These people look like dogs."
