Henry VII did not know anything about Marin, Louis XII, and Edward joining forces to attack England. Now, Henry VII is also planning to send troops north to retake the northern counties of England......

In fact, Henry VII had planned to send troops north last year to regain control of the northern counties. However, the sudden emergence of a number of bandit groups, such as the "Robin Hood Thieves Regiment", in several central counties, disrupted Henry VII's plan to recover the north.

Henry VII once sent a large army to encircle and suppress the "Robin Hood Thieves Regiment" and other discordant organizations that had destroyed several counties in the central region, but several clumsy thieves were wiped out by Henry VII's army. It is a pity that the backbone of resistance organizations like the "Robin Hood Thieves" used such classic guerrilla tactics as "the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue", which made the English officers and soldiers extremely uncomfortable. In addition, the "Robin Hood Thieves Group" is good at hiding in the forest, so that the officers and soldiers have been encircled and suppressed several times in vain, but have suffered a lot of losses.

Therefore, last year, Henry VII wasted all his energy on dealing with thieves in the central counties, and he really didn't have the energy to go north. However, recently, Henry VII, who had a headache, officially decided to temporarily abandon the encirclement and suppression of the "Robin Hood Thieves", who were good at drilling into the woods, and decided to bypass them first and send troops north to recover several northern counties. Wait until the problems of the northern counties are solved, and then go back to solving these thieves.

As for the timing of the journey north, Henry VII also targeted the month of May after the end of spring ploughing. Because, to mobilize a large army to the north, it is necessary to recruit a lot of farmers to accompany it. Moreover, many regular army soldiers also have to go home to help during spring ploughing. In order not to delay the spring ploughing, and due to the climate, the months from May to the autumn harvest are indeed the best time to start a war.

It's just that Henry VII didn't know that while he was preparing to send troops north, his opponents had already united and were ready to destroy him......

……

When Marin was preparing to invade England, he was surprised by the news that rye was sold in Eastern Europe......

In fact, Marin's rye two-pot head was not very popular when it was promoted in Germany. Because, the Germans love beer too much. As for liquor, there are many people who like it, but it is not common enough. Because, many people still prefer beer more. Only some rugged men, such as those who were soldiers, would like this kind of high wine. Because, many mercenaries are under great mental pressure and like to get drunk. And drinking beer is too hard to get drunk, and it can't achieve the effect of buying drunk. The rye two-pot head is different, a small bottle is enough to put down many people. The mercenaries who paralyzed themselves with alcohol liked this tune very much......

But this liquor, promoted among the aristocracy, ran into trouble......

Why? Most of the aristocracy was elegant and liked to drink wine. For liquor that is too strong, most aristocrats are not very fond of it. Only those low-level nobles, knights, prefer liquor because of their rugged character......

As for the missionaries, the market is even more inaccessible. Those clergymen either drink "holy blood" or beer, and there are not many people who like to drink liquor......

In desperation, Marin had no choice but to send people to Eastern Europe to explore the market. He remembered that Maozi in Eastern Europe was very fond of drinking spirits......

As a result, the full-time salesman set off to the east of Europe with a large number of rye two-pot heads......

Now, they have come back with the news that men in Eastern Europe are really fond of drinking spirits......

Needless to say, the rye two-pot head is definitely to their appetite. The salesman who went to the Grand Duchy of Moscow was a great success, and the rye two pots he brought with him were sold out. Not only that, but many Maozi, who didn't buy rye two-pot heads, were very angry, and the salesmen who sent them over were unlucky enough to be beaten because they ran out of wine to sell......

The salesman sent to Poland also gave good feedback. Mainly, it is also very cold in winter on the Polish side. Although it is a neighbor of Germany, the climate is quite different, between the climate of Germany and Russia.

So, the Poles and Lithuanians in the east, who are also close to Maozi in character, like to drink spirits. On the contrary, the Poles in the west, who are close to the Germans, also like to drink beer......

However, the team sent to the Crimean Khanate to sell rye was beaten by the locals......

Why? Because, the Crimean Khanate was converted to Allah. According to the canon, alcohol is not allowed......

But the problem is, the Crimeans have the habits of the Mongols...... Therefore, the two-pot salesman, who was beaten during the day, was quietly invited into the palace by Möngke Jire Khan at night. Then, the 100 bottles of rye that were brought as samples were all bought out by the Crimean Khan......

And that's not all, after the sales team left the palace, they were forcibly invited by the powerful faction of the Crimean Khanate in turn......

In the end, it is the Mongol species, although it is not allowed to drink openly because of the conversion to Allah. However, you can drink it secretly...... These savage men on the prairie will be uncomfortable if they don't drink......

So, although it was openly condemned by the people of the Crimean Khanate. However, in private, he received a large number of orders for the second pot, which made people laugh and cry......

Of course, these Crimeans have no money to buy alcohol. So, they offered to exchange cattle for wine...... For example, one cow is exchanged for 3 bottles of two pot heads......

In fact, the purchase price of a cow Marin from the Crimean Khanate was 8 gold coins, which was converted into 480 pfennigs, which could buy 480 pounds of rye. The wine yield of the second pot head is about 40 percent, and one bottle of the second pot head weighs only one pound, and the three bottles of the second pot head consume a maximum of 7.5 pounds of rye...... Counting up, the Crimeans lost a lot......

However, because Marin has the exclusive secret art of brewing Erguotou, and cattle and sheep are not worth much in the Crimean Khanate. So, the Crimean Khanate, which did not know the market, paid a high price for this......

Hearing that three bottles of two pots can be exchanged for a cow, Marin was stunned and was very willing to do such a business with this group of stupid hats in Crimea.

As for Maozi, it is not as easy to fool as the Crimeans, but because it is an exclusive business, it can be sold very expensive. The rye two-pot head, which cost a bottle of three or five fennigs at most, was sold for a gold coin and a bottle at Maozi, and the profit was as high as more than ten times.

It is said that the nobles of Maozi were particularly fond of this spirit, and they loved it to the point of madness. In order to snatch the samples of the second pot head that was brought, in addition to the broken incident such as the salesman being beaten, there was also a broken incident between the nobles fighting each other for the second pot head......

In the first batch of orders alone, the Maozi nobles pre-ordered 10,000 bottles. This is also the reason why the price of the second pot head is too high. If the price is low, it is estimated that the first order can exceed 100,000 bottles...... And, next, the order is bound to be a lot of ......

It is said that the reason why the Maozi chose the Greek Orthodox Church and rejected Allah's religion was because Allah's religion did not allow alcohol. When someone persuaded Vladimir, the Grand Duke of Maozi, to convert to Allah, the Grand Duke said dissatisfiedly - "Drinking wine is the enjoyment of the Rus' people, and we cannot live without it"...... Then they converted to the Orthodox Christianity of the Greeks...... Because, the Orthodox Church does not ban alcohol......

However, it seems that Maozi's national liquor, vodka, did not appear in Novgorod until around 1533. Moreover, it is still used as medicine. Now, more than 20 years in advance, Marin directly took out a two-pot head that tastes better and mellower than vodka and smashed the market of Maozi, which is not too popular...... It can be expected that Erguotou will definitely become one of the best-selling products in the Grand Duchy of Moscow...... And Marin can also make a lot of money......
