While Baron Bogur was burying his head in dealing with a big sauce elbow, John . Rafi gave him a look, and the two "businessmen" who were in charge of warming up the scene on the side immediately began to talk......

"Recently, I was going to ship a batch of Bordeaux wine to the North Sea country to sell. The Beihai Kingdom was relatively wealthy, and the nobles there were said to be able to eat white bread made of wheat flour for a single meal. And, it's the kind of ...... that touches cream and honey," boasted a Beihai spy who went by the pseudonym Giroud.

At this time, another spy of the North Sea Kingdom under the pseudonym Trezeguet immediately answered:

"Well, I've heard of the richness of the North Sea Country. It is said that since the seizure of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbitel and the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the North Sea Kingdom is now rich and rich. High-end things like Bordeaux wines are popular over there. Like Lord John's Lafite, it is a very popular high-end product in the North Sea Country......" After speaking, "Trezeguet" was still very flattering and flattering to John. Raffi smiled, in keeping with his status as an aristocratic helper.

Then, a young Beihai spy under the pseudonym Griezmann on one side also chimed in:

"Both, I know that the North Sea country has money. But the problem is that because of the smallpox problem, the Grand Duke of Beihai Marin has announced that the border will be closed and foreigners will be prohibited from entering! Even if the two guys have good goods, it's hard to get in! ”

And the "businessman" who goes by the pseudonym Giroud is dismissive:

"You know what? Little brother, smallpox has subsided, and the 'cowpox method' made by Grand Duke Marin himself has solved the problem. Today, although the North Sea country is still under martial law on the border and is still promoting the cultivation of cowpox, foreign trade ports such as the port of Emden have begun to open to the outside world. All I need to do is get the cargo to the port of Emden and find the North Sea merchants to take over, and I'll make a lot of money. At present, the smallpox incident has just passed, and in the past few months, it is estimated that the high-end wine in Beihai has long been out of stock, and there must be a market! ”

"Trezeguet" nodded again and again in agreement:

"Yes, trade has been interrupted for a long time in the past few months because of smallpox. The nobles of the Beihai Kingdom must have not been able to drink high-end wine for a long time! On this trip, the Giroud brothers will definitely make a lot of money! ”

"God bless ......," Giroud said modestly......

……

Of course, the above is all foreshadowing, and the topic that really needs to be talked about was thrown out after a long time of nonsense......

"You say, why are these hundreds of thousands of victims besieging Paris but not going into the city to make trouble? It feels so weird! I heard that in the Duchy of Württemberg on the German side, those peasants all rebelled and fought against the Duke of Württemberg, why are these victims so honest? The young "Griezmann" asked suspiciously.

The older "Trezeguet" shook his head and said:

"Isn't that easy? Because rebellion doesn't end well! You've also heard that both the rebellious peasants in Württemberg and the mob in Hungary were eventually suppressed by the aristocracy. Now, those rebellious mobs have been sold by the monarchs of the two countries to the Grand Duke of Beihai State, Marin, and sent to the Wild Continent to cut down trees and reclaim the wasteland! So, as long as you are not stupid, you will not rebel indiscriminately. Moreover, the knights of my Great France are powerful, and they are not comparable to the small waste country of Württemberg! As long as those victims dared to rebel, they would be destroyed by the heroic French knights at the first time. And the end of daring to rebel is to be ruthlessly killed by the knights. As long as you are not stupid, you don't dare to do that! ”

At this time, Baron Bogur, who was nibbling on the sauce elbow, paused, glanced at "Trezeguet", and then continued to gnaw on the sauce elbow. The military general's meal is large, and this is already the second sauce elbow he gnawed.

Seeing that it caught the attention of Baron Bogur, the three spies were overjoyed. At this time, the spy under the pseudonym "Giroud" suddenly said:

"I suddenly had an idea that maybe I could solve this disaster problem......"

Then, everyone else's attention was grabbed. Even Baron Bogur, who was nibbling on the sauce elbow, paused his bite on the sauce elbow and pricked up his ears to listen to what "Giroud" had to say.

I saw "Giroud" pretending to be a mysterious and unpredictable master and said:

"Since the more than 300,000 victims outside the city have made the royal family unable to afford them, and have seriously affected the external image of my Kingdom of France, why don't we learn from the Duke of Württemberg, Ulrich, and sell these 300,000 victims to Marin, the Grand Duke of Beihai Kingdom? Did you know? The first time the Duchy of Württemberg suppressed the rebels, it captured 27,000 mobs, and then, bought 26,000 mobs and their families for Marin, in exchange for 780,000 Gulden gold coins! Counting the second batch of mobs that were arrested later, a total of thirty or forty thousand mobs were exchanged for one hundred thousand gold coins from Grand Duke Marin. Not only did he repay the huge debt owed by the Duke of Ulrich to one million gold coins, but he also had a lot of surplus, which made the Duke of Ulrich rich! ”

Then, "Trezeguet" turned into a joke, adding:

"Not only that, I heard that the Hungarian side also sold 67,800 prisoners of war to the Grand Duke of Marin, and the price was not as high as the 30 gold coins per household in Württemberg, but there were also 20 Gurden gold coins per household, with a total price of more than 1.1 million gold coins, which is equivalent to the annual financial income of the Kingdom of France!"

Baron Bogur had already put down his half-gnawed elbow by this time, and began to listen intently to their bragging......

And the young "Griezmann" curious:

"Oh my God! To buy such a large number of people, not only will it cost more than two million gold coins, but also pay for their food, where did Ma Lin, the Grand Duke of Beihai Kingdom, get so much money and food? ”

Giroud explains:

"It is true that the Grand Duke of Marin did not have so much money, and he borrowed money from the Fugger family, the richest man in Germany. You know, it is said that the Fugger family has assets of several million gold coins, and it is no problem to lend two million to Grand Duke Marin. Moreover, Grand Duke Marin obtained the large silver mine of Goslar and was able to pay back. As for the food that feeds these hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war...... It is said that the Beihai country has a secret art, and the grain production is very high, and it may be able to feed the hundreds of thousands of victims, but I don't know if this is true or not......

At this moment, Baron Bogur's eyes flashed. As a close minister of the king, of course he knows the "secret technique" of the high grain yield of the Beihai Kingdom, isn't it volcanic ash. Moreover, it seems that it is the John in front of him. Viscount Rafite. So, he looked at John with deep meaning. Rafi glanced at ......

John. Raffi pretended not to see it and bowed his head to drink. And at this time, the best "praise" Griezmann stood up again:

"Huh—that's a good idea! If His Majesty the King packaged and sold the more than 300,000 disaster victims outside the city to Ma Lin, the Grand Duke of Beihai Kingdom, he could also exchange them for millions of gold coins! In this way, not only will His Majesty the King not have to bear the food supply of these 300,000 victims, but he will also be able to exchange for nearly a year's national revenue. Moreover, even the military expenses for next year's war with the Spaniards are there! ”

Baron Bogur was so shocked when he heard this that the glass in his hand almost fell. Although he is not smart, he can listen to a lot of big people talk about big things, and he understands a little.

What this "Griezmann" said is not false at all, if you can really pack and sell these landless victims to Marin, not only can you get rid of this heavy "burden", but also exchange millions of gold coins for the royal family, greatly increasing the probability of defeating Spain.

But to his surprise, John. Rafi, the owner, expressed a different point of view:

"What nonsense? It's not as simple as you think! Selling the victims to the Beihai Kingdom can indeed make a lot of money, and you can also get rid of the package. But have you ever thought about the face of His Majesty? Selling so many people to foreigners will affect His Majesty's reputation! ”

Baron Bogur's eyes suddenly darkened - yes, selling people can not only throw off the burden, but also make a lot of money. However, this is not good for the reputation of King François I, and it is easy to be criticized...... As a diehard loyalist of His Majesty, how could Baron Bogur allow his master's reputation to be tarnished?

But at this time, the young "businessman Griezmann", who has always acted as a "platter", retorted:

"Lord Viscount, I don't think it's difficult!"

"Isn't it difficult? How, you say? His Majesty's face, that's the most important thing! "John. Rafi glared at Griezmann with an angry look......
