Chapter 129: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

Basarab family horse farm, Cepes office box.

On a small table in beautifully carved walnut wood, two crystal cups are poured with a golden liquid.

"Well, accept my offer or not."

Tsepes pushed a crystal cup towards Count Cherier on the opposite side.

In Hungary, the joint construction of a racecourse is naturally the content of the proposal.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't understand why you're asking me to cooperate."

Count Zelie picked up the glass, but instead of drinking it, he shook the golden liquid in the glass and asked Tsepes a question.

"The reason? The reason is that you owe me 100,000 gold coins, and I will provide you with a way to make money to pay it back. ”

High-sounding reasons, secretly threatening, remind this guy that he is saddled with huge debts.

When the shortcomings were revealed, Count Cheret threw the wine glass back on the table, and said angrily:

"What can you do with me? Kill me? Joke! ”

100,000 gold coins, the amount is too high, even if it is a big noble, it is inevitable to put down the debt.

Count Zere, who was a favorite of Laszló V, had nothing to fear about Cepes.

And his little tricks are all in Tsepesh's calculations, and if he wants to repay the debt, there is no way!

"Yes, I can't do anything with you, but please note that I can transfer the debt to Janos Hunyati.

I believe that Your Excellency will be happy to help me collect this account, what do you say? Mr. Special Envoy. ”

In an instant, Count Zere's spirit weakened, and if Cepes really did that, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If he is seized by political opponents, he will not only lose his wealth and land, but he may even die without even scum.

There was no longer a fluke mentality, and Count Caireen could only compromise obediently.

"What do you want me to do, say it."

"In your territory, provide land for horse farms and provide all kinds of social resources.

In Hungary, Bohemia, Austria, and even Bavaria, propaganda was done for the horse farms and the nobility was brought for entertainment.

All business activities in the racecourse are the responsibility of my people.

Half of the profits you make, or the interest group you belong to, can be shared.

Of course, the 100,000 gold coins you owe me need to be gradually deducted from your profits.

Believe me, run the horse farm well, the debt of 100,000 gold coins is nothing at all.

As I said before, I want to show you a way to make money. ”

Tsepes said all the conditions, picked up the crystal cup, leaned back on the sofa, and admired the wonderful expression of Count Zeel.

There are no harsh requirements, and the ability to participate in the distribution of benefits is completely beyond the expectations of Count Zereli.

He blinked incredulously, looked at Cepes in front of him, and after a few moments he was sure it wasn't a joke.

He said in an excited tone:

"Your Excellency, if this is really the case, I am very willing to cooperate with you!"

"The contract has been drawn up, see for yourself, please don't doubt my kindness."

Tsepes took out a document and threw it to Count Celest, of course, what he thought in his heart and what he said were completely different things.

"Hey, there is no way, compared to Yanos Hunyati, the little king László V is too weak, and he needs to pass through you to convey wealth to him."

This is the real inner monologue of Tepes, who does not want to have two united and strong neighbors.

Janos Hunyadi, the leading figure of the Eastern European continent, would pose no less threat to Wallachia than the Ottomans if he had completely mastered Hungary.

On the one hand, it was necessary to unite Janos Hunyadi against the Ottomans.

On the other hand, giving László V a 'blood' gave Hungary a state of infighting.

It may seem contradictory, but both of these two are in the interests of Wallachia.

The Ottomans were tigers, Hungary was hungry wolves, and Wallachia was a little sheep standing beside them.

Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, let the two consume, and at the same time not let the wolf be killed, nor can it give birth to two tigers.

Tsepes gave Laszlo V wealth just in case this happened.

The other fifty percent of the proceeds, owned by Wallachia, can make the little sheep grow stronger, and even grow scales and armor, and turn into an invincible unicorn.

Tsepes was playing a big game of chess in his heart, and Count Caire, who was opposite him, did not notice it in the slightest.

This guy read the contract carefully, and his joy was palpable.

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke, thank you for your generosity, I am willing to accept this contract and become your partner."

"Then sign it, and I'll send someone to contact you later.

The promotion of the racecourse is more snacks, hoping that the influence of the racecourse can radiate the entire Holy Roman Empire.

After all, the more influence we have, the more we gain. ”

Quills, ink, ink, witnesses, all the need for the signing of the contract, Tsepes had already arranged for him.

"I understand that His Majesty will stand for the racecourse when necessary."

Count Celex was eager to sign the contract sooner, and when he spoke of His Majesty, he naturally meant the little King Laszló V.

This little kid, although he was set aside, was an important member of the Habsburg family after all, and had a certain influence in the entire Central European region.

The deal was reached, the contract was signed, and the two glasses of golden water of life were happily drunk by the two.

Coming out of the box, the last repechage race has not yet begun, and six racing horses are showing off to the guests.

It was a 1,600-metre race in which no means were used, and a pale golden horse named 'Palme d'Or was won.

The ten horses that advanced to the finals were Crossbow, Red Dragon, Little Candy, Phoenix, Golden Cane, Female Knight, Rose Nightingale, Black Dragon, Golden Palm, and Thunderbolt.

Ten horses appeared in turn to be inspected by the nobles, and Cepes announced on the spot:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plan has changed, the final was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but it was changed to tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow morning, there will be an Easter celebration and in the afternoon the final of the Dragon Grand Duke's Cup. ”

A one-day compression of the race schedule will have no impact on the racecourse's revenue, nor will it affect the bets placed by guests.

The only thing that can affect the horses that have just finished today's race will have their rest time compressed.

Actually, for most racehorses, this is not a problem, except for the 'female knights'.

As for the 'Black Dragon', even if it rests for two years, it is still at the bottom and cannot be counted as having an impact.

Lloyd Dyer, very close to Cepes, immediately objected:

"I don't agree, why should the scheduled schedule be changed, is there an unsavory black-box operation!?"

Hehe, old man, you guessed it, Lao Tzu did this just to trick you.

With a complaint in his heart, Cepes's expression became heavy, and he said in a low tone:

"Bad news received, Ottoman pagans, are gathering troops and preparing to invade Wallachia."

In a word, causing an uproar in the stands, the Ottoman Empire, was their common enemy.
