When the author found the record of John Capote's 50 pound loan, he already felt that this man was quite pitiful, and then because he had been unsure of the ratio of pounds and Ducats, he went to look for new information.

Dr. Francisco Guidi Bruscoli of the University of Florence found a file showing that in March 1496 Cabotto received a sum of 50 gold coins (£16, 13 shillings and 4 pence) from the Florentine Baldi family bank to support Cabotto's voyage in search of the New World. This money can play a crucial role, but it's not enough to cover all the expenses of a long voyage. ”

That is to say, first of all, John Capote's experience was even more miserable, he did not get 50 pounds, but only 50 ducats, which is 50/3 pounds, which is really embarrassing to get home, and this money still "played a key role", and I seriously doubt that this money paid for his journey to Bristol→_→......

In addition, the plot of John Capote's approach to the London nobility to obtain funds, the author did not find any reliable evidence based on the information, and it is estimated that it is false, and since it has been written, it is simply retained......

This man is really unlucky.

This brings good news and bad news.

The good news is that the author bacteria proved that the Silver Bullet offensive was absolutely effective against John Capote, and even more effective than the author bacteria expected! Throwing £500 was enough to make the navigator lose his money.

The bad news is that the ratio of GBP to Ducats is £1 = 3 Ducats. At least in 1496. The author had previously adopted the statement of "Divine Spain", using the ratio of 1 pound = 2 ducats, although the author had also studied the data, but he wrote that Spain was Spain in 1618, which is not the same...... The author changed the ratio of the British pound and the Ducat's gold coins in the John Capote's fundraising plot, but the old ratio was used throughout the book, so it was simply not changed, but fortunately there were not many previous episodes about England and the British pound, and there was no problem with using this ratio. As for the ratio of Ducat's gold coins and Malawi's, the author will not make a new research, and use the ratio roughly verified at that time, and deceive himself, otherwise this ratio will be revised again, and the amount of money made by the protagonist will be greatly changed, and the amount of work is really unbearable!

(The author then asks the old cow, what is the ratio of the pound and the Ducat)

John Day, who had delivered information to Columbus, was a real person, and the author was pleased.

————I'm a cutie divider ( ̄▽ ̄)σ————

John Capote, who had been fooled and lame, was now grateful to his nobles, especially John Day, who, after the owner had acquired five new sailboats, generously said that as long as he paid some rent, he could rent all five of his original ships to himself, not only the promised Karak sailboat.

Moreover, John Day also stuffed half of the sailors who served him to John Capote!

Is this half of the net worth? John Capote was grateful, but hesitated, people pressed half of his net worth, what if he messed up?

It can't be said in case, although John Capote seemed confident when he lobbied, but he was completely uncertain about how sure he was. 52 degrees north latitude is indeed not a calm latitude, and I wonder if I will send more than half of these people to God.

John Day, on the other hand, said that he did not care at all, and in the end, he said: "Don't worry, I have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years in the Mediterranean, and I still have 60,000 ducats (20,000 pounds) in Sicily, which is enough to buy a quarry!" Five ships won't hurt if they're gone! Unless the King of Aragonese Ferdinand has taken a fancy to me, the Sicilian Inspectorate has been very active lately! ”

Hearing this, John Capote finally relieved himself, it turned out that his old friend was a local tyrant, and of course, this also hurt his heart as a bankrupt debtor in Venice by 555 points.

"Mr. Say......" John Capote finally wanted to say something moving, but he couldn't find any good words.

Looking at John Capote, who was completely crippled by the silver bullet offensive, John Day was a little embarrassed, cough cough, the other party had been fooled by himself for so long, and felt that the great favor could not be repaid, but he didn't even know the real name of the "benefactor".

Well, John Day uses a pseudonym in London, Hugh Sey. Historically, it used its real name when communicating with Columbus, but John Capote didn't know, heck, it was a loss that they had previously run the Levant shipping together.

"The poor navigator is ready to finally get the charter of the King of England." John Day approached Father Giovanni de Cacaris and exchanged flickering progress, and Father Priest recommended John Capote to Adriano Castellsi, and then to Henry VII.

After a cordial and friendly exchange, King Henry VII of England negotiated terms with John Capote, and on March 5, 1496, issued an edict to explore the new territory:

"Awarded (for the expedition led by John Capote)...... The free right to fly our flag and sail to all places, regions and coasts of the East and West and North Seas may consist of a fleet of five vessels, who shall sail with the seamen and crews who wish to fly on said vessels, at their own expense, whatever the burden and quality...... Discover and investigate the infidels of any island, country, region, or province, anywhere in the world, which until this time was unknown to all Christians. ”

Henry VII said that any land discovered by John Capote would be declared an English domain immediately, and that Henry VII had claimed sovereignty over the land as soon as John Capote arrived in Newfoundland in 1496. John Capote then explored most of the coastline of the East Coast of the United States for England, so the sovereignty of the East Coast of the United States was also claimed by England, and the claimed scope could even include most of the North American continent, of course, Henry VII did not know what the North American continent was.

Such a disgusting claim of sovereignty naturally made Ferdinand feel as disgusted as being bitten by a fly, so the English expedition had no choice but to go to the great God!

"The strength is heavy, the responsibility is heavy for a long time, and the weakness will not be enough!"

At the northwestern tip of Newfoundland, at the foot of the Long Ridge Mountains, Fonseca stood on the meadows of Laneoz, still covered in snow and hoarfrost, with a lonely face and a deep contemplation with his back to the early spring morning light. After a long time, he sighed slightly, and couldn't help but chant two lines of poetry.
