Chapter 371: Trade Fairs and Fundraising (91/104)
The expressions on the faces of several emissaries from neighboring countries were also cloudy, this terrible weapon appeared, and it appeared in other countries, which was definitely not good news for their own country.
Whether it's the powerful spear or the short gun that can shoot continuously, it's the object of their attention.
These men suddenly felt that it was necessary to contact the country as soon as possible, to inform their king of the situation, and to make some plans as soon as possible.
However, Charles VI was not incompetent, and he soon ordered Viana to be sealed, preventing everyone from passing on the news on the grounds that the banquet was to celebrate January, and at the same time using some methods to put the foreign envoys under house arrest.
At the moment, after all, it was in Vienna, where the Habsburgs had absolute authority, and the emperor decreed, and the envoys had no choice but to accept this fact with great reluctance.
On the other hand, many nobles in the country also began to inquire about the origin of these terrible weapons.
Eugen didn't carry out any overt publicity, but secretly sent people to release some gossip, he knew that some news, the more hidden and hidden, the more it could arouse the attention of others, and at the same time, the more people could remember it clearly.
In this way, with Eugen's covert encouragement, the news of the new weapons in Lybor City gradually spread, and with the influence of the competitive tournament, the news soon reached the ears of most of the imperial nobles.
And, along with all this news, there is also important news that Eugen intends to sell some of his weapons.
Hearing that Eugen wanted to buy weapons, all the nobles immediately boiled, everyone wanted to make the power under their hands stronger, and Eugen These weapons are undoubtedly the fastest way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
Everyone is afraid that they will fall behind, and if they fall behind, they will be beaten, and if their enemies get their hands on these weapons, then they will not be able to sleep well.
In this way, many people began to contact Eugen, using various channels to inquire about the purchase of a batch of such weapons, not only Eugen, but even Eugen's subordinates Alan and Simon, the number of people who came into contact with each other began to increase in large numbers in these two days.
At this time, the warehouses in Eugen-Lebor actually had a large number of weapons in stock, which could be sold as commodities at any time.
However, he deliberately hung everyone's appetite, just saying that the first batch of weapons should be supplied to the royal family first, so that everyone could wait for the news of the second batch of weapons.
All those who came to inquire about the purchase of weapons were sent back by Eugen on this ground.
Of course, this can't be said that Eugen lied to them again, because he really provided a batch of weapons to the royal family for free first, and gave them directly to Charles VI.
Because of this, Charles VI also felt more and more pleasing to Eugen, and in the competitive tournament, the royal family increased his majesty because of the Allen sent by Eugen, and at the same time earned a bet of nearly five million Kild gold coins, which was quite a big benefit.
But on the other hand, Eugen won nearly 20 million kild gold coins by betting, which is a huge amount of money, and even Charles VI was a little moved after hearing it, and wanted to find a few ways to deduct some of it.
It's just that Eugen took the initiative to send a batch of weapons over, but he was embarrassed to withhold it, thought about it, and finally asked Eugen to transport this batch of gold coins back.
Eugen's Lebber City is now in a critical period of development, and with such a batch of capital injections, the benefits are self-evident.
Eugen's supply of weapons to the royal family, with the exception of most of them being assembled among the soldiers, soon spread in small quantities.
There is no way to avoid this, the military system is too large, and even a little bloated, and there will naturally be some loopholes in such a system, and with loopholes, capable people can easily get some guns from it.
When the nobles who got the weapons tried Eugen's weapons, their surprise immediately increased by more than a dozen notches, and compared to these weapons, the muskets equipped in their own armies were simply not comparable to the burning sticks.
The nobles fantasized about how their combat effectiveness would be improved if their army was equipped with such a batch of weapons.
As a result, the nobles looked forward to Eugen's weapons even more, and some of the big nobles even said that they would buy Eugen's weapons with 10,000 gold.
Eugen was naturally happy to see this kind of scene, and he wanted this kind of effect, to put the advertising of the weapons of the city of Lebor into everyone's hearts.
So, five days after the end of the competition, Eugen finally announced that in three days, a large trade fair would be held in the banquet hall of the Imperial Hotel in Vienna, and a large number of weapons from the city of Lebor would be sold, inviting all the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire to participate.
On the day the news was released, it caused a sensation in the aristocratic circle, and everyone was boiling, and many big nobles began to mobilize funds overnight, wanting to make some large-scale acquisitions at this trade fair.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing and that everything was on track, Eugen had the banquet hall set up and brought some more heavyweight goods from the city of Leber, this time he wanted to surprise all the nobles of the Empire.
Finally, it was time for the trade fair to be held.
Early in the morning, a large number of luxury carriages gather in front of the Imperial Hotel in Vienna, various flags flutter in the air, and people in luxurious costumes come and go, making people dazzled.
On this day, Charles VI ordered that the royal guards enter the fair to maintain order, and these guards in royal armor are a kind of status symbol, and having them here means that the royal family also supports this matter.
Subsequently, the nobles holding invitations walked into the trade fair venue, and when they saw the exhibits in the glass case, they could no longer maintain their composure as nobles.
New rifles, pistols, new gunpowder, mines, grenades, all on display, and even a huge steam engine, the latest research of the city of Leber, was also on display.
In addition, there are more than a dozen inventions of all kinds, only a small part of which is related to weapons, and most of the rest are major inventions related to life, and in the face of these novel mechanical creations, the nobles present could not see their use at all, and could only guess by feeling.
Fortunately, in front of each showcase, there is a maid in a short skirt to introduce it.
In fact, these maids were also cultivated in the city of Lybour, and the clothes they wore were all of Eugen's own design, full of modern atmosphere.

If you want to know how to invent it.... Then I can't help it... In the 18th century, there was a certain industrial base, so let's set the rest.
