Chapter 145: Porcelain Heat, Heat, Heat
At the beginning of March, the two-skinned ****** came and went to Patras and passed the news to Andrew Lee, who was fighting between Collins and the Duchy of Athens.
Of course, as well-known inner ghosts, the cancer of the Catholic world, ****** and Venetians have shaken the root of the matter to Li Anshi.
"What? He is a Taoist leader, and he still wants to steal the limelight with the king? Li Anshi, who didn't know much about the situation in Western Europe, stared at the ****** businessman who reported the news in surprise.
The merchants, of course, knew that these pagans did not know anything about Western Europe, but that was okay. As long as they give money. Li Anshi took out two more gold coins and threw them to him. "Tell me what's in there?"
"Okay. In Europa, the Pope and Catholic Church were opposed to the Greek Orthodox Church. And the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor were in a competitive relationship. The pope wanted to revitalize the authority of the church and bring secular kings to the feet of the pope. A hundred years ago, the Pope was very powerful, and certainly not bad now. The Pope, however, had failed in the first few crusades. That's why the Pope will cut you down. ”
"Well, look at the reward." After Li Anshi figured it out, he rewarded ****** merchant again.
"I went to the merchants of Venice, I never believed what they said. Unless the tumors on both sides can be matched. This sentence was still told to him by Qin Cang. Don't believe the words of the merchant or the merchant of Venice. Even if you want to believe, you have to be able to close the two sides together.
Then, after finding out more about it, he sent someone to Nafplio to board the ship, and with the latest shipments of olive oil, silk, and honey candy, it was shipped to the port of Sofia in Constantinople.
Wang Chang did not dare to slack off when he saw the news, and while informing Constantine XI to mediate between them, he hurriedly sent the news to Chijing urgently.
The news then arrived in Chikyo.
At this time, Qin Cang's family was still replacing those wooden bowls and plates with white porcelain products.
"What? Crusade? Did you eat too much and pull it out during the Battle of Yavarna, and now you forgot about it? Qin Cang looked at the paper in his hand in disbelief, his heart full of absurd feelings. Damn, your brain is so bad!
Now the Ottoman Turks, who are in a state of imperfect westward search, Serbian rebellion, and Wallachian borders, don't care, and still come to me for trouble? Is it that I can't hold the knife anymore, or do you pope think it's floating?
"What now? Do you see that dozens or hundreds of chieftains throughout Italy, Poland, Lithuania and the Holy Roman Empire declared their participation in the Crusades? Damn, they have to come out to me together after a lot of fighting at home? Qin Cang didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Don't worry, your majesty!" Meng Zhuoyan came in with a smile. He was the last to arrive.
After much inquiry, his subordinates found that, apart from Srinitsky, who had changed his name, there were only a few scattered crusaders who responded. The Holy Roman Empire was full of internal strife, and Frederick III had just been crowned by the Pope, and now he had to work the affairs of his own domain. And the one in Krakow is still in a hurry to marry Elizabeth, in a vain attempt to unite the forces of Bohemia, Hungary, Poland and Lithuania, haha, what a stupid idea. ”
It has been many years since they came to Europe, and Meng Zhuoyan and others are very familiar with the European set.
"So they didn't take it seriously at all?" Qin Cang said with a smile and a smile.
"Yes, that's it." Fang took a sip of tea, and then said seriously: "But if we don't react, I'm afraid we will be pinched as a real soft persimmon!" ”
"Indeed! Definitely teach them a lesson! Qin Changan slammed the table angrily. His treasury has not yet saved much money, and it will be spent again.
"In that case, let's take out the ceramics we have in advance. Gather funds first. Qin Cang thought for a moment and said.
That's right, there are now less than 20,000 hyperon funds in the treasury, and most of them have already been exchanged. Qin Cang needed more money to prepare for departure when April came.
"Let the Court of Auditors begin to determine the money and grain plan, and the Privy Council is ready to calculate how much money it will take to fight all the way from here to Krakow! The prison must fully support the military force! Qin Cang began to order, and that was more than that.
"Inform the prairie flags. This year we are going west together, to the lair of the Catholic world. If you want to come with your own horses, I'll send weapons! If you are strong, you can claim the color flag armor and the flag! ”
The entire war machine of the Great Han began to run in an instant!
The Great Iron Supervisor of Chijing and the Great Iron Supervisor of Shini Town opened the warehouse one after another, and pulled out the plate armor and scimitar spear that were stationed! The four-pounder cannon and the two-pounder cannon began to test the cannon one by one in Chijing. In a standardized environment, both spears and scimitars have a uniform style.
The other is the musket that has not been able to be produced for a long time. The hydraulic forging hammer barrel under development is still in a state of mystery. The craftsmen manually beat the iron and rolled it up to make the barrel of the musket, and the progress was slow.
In this operation, we don't expect to rely on muskets.
It wasn't until the beginning of April that the big railway supervision and other departments with explosive output handed over their best results after driving at full capacity.
With the addition of stocks, the stocks of cuirass and plate armor were more than 20,000 and 6,000 respectively, while there were 120,000 spearheads and 200,000 scimitars. Especially the scimitar, the hydraulic forging hammer is smashed out at once, and it basically does not take too many processes except for the quenching of the blade. And forty four-pounder guns, three hundred two-pounder guns have now been dragged to Jincheng County, ready to launch a great expedition to the west!
During this period, the appearance of white porcelain also made the entire Black Sea trade circle tremble!
At the latest fair held in Chijing, exquisite white porcelain has become the target of countless merchants! Large and small chambers of commerce flocked to Zhang Qi's yamen, and in two days, the doormen received more than 1,000 ducats, or 4,000 haiperen, as an entrance fee.......
"A set of inferior white porcelain two thousand Happeron! A set of fine white porcelain 3,000 Hyperon! Don't say I didn't give you a discount! I know you're taking Ducat's price in Italy! You're making a lot of money shipping from here to Italy! ”
Zhang Qi and his stewards seemed to be floating on an isolated island in the ocean, constantly struggling, and John IV of Trabzon dragged the sick body to Chijing in person, eager to get a share of the drainage of porcelain.
After twenty days of madness, the people who watched on the Chijing pier waiting for the transfer of porcelain from the port of Kawazu had become a real scene and was painted by the painters, and became the epitome of the booming porcelain business in Chijing in the future.
On April 1st, the GIs gathered!
