"Father...... Your Majesty...... Did I say something wrong? Seeing Ferdinand staring at him all the time, Prince Juan couldn't help but be a little scared, his father couldn't be angry, right? I must have said something wrong, yes, there will definitely be no problem with what my father said, can't a liar be great? Dad had so many mistresses and illegitimate children, I heard that there was a woman who had a good relationship with Dad who was named Viscount Evor, and another was called ...... Seems to be a "wonderful girl"? And they all have children, but their mother still doesn't love her so much? Ah, no, no, how can I think about these things? Daddy is going to knock me out......

Ferdinand didn't know that Juan was gossiping about himself now, otherwise he would definitely give him a punch, and you can't gossip in front of my wife! But now he decided to ignore Prince Juan: "Oh, nothing. ”

"Ahem, let's continue to ......" is a habitual phrase to resolve embarrassment, but it is a pity that Prince Juan did not say what he thought in his heart, otherwise the scene would have been quite exciting.

"I call him a great liar because, although he cannot open a route for us to India, if he succeeds, he will be the second European to discover that lost New World since 500 years ago!" Speaking of the lost New World, Ferdinand couldn't help but wave his fist excitedly, causing Prince Juan to shudder, thinking that his father knew the inappropriate thoughts in his head.

Isabella felt that she had been stimulated too much by her husband today, and Ferdinand first looked at the garden in the palace for a moment, and then walked forward silently, muttering a short sentence in her mouth, then teasing Ann, and then going on and on about Columbus and his voyage, and before she herself had fully decided, Ferdinand had decided to invest 10 million Malawedi in the second voyage...... Even make up your mind to get involved in person! Before he could dissuade himself, he said that he would declare himself a co-ruler of the throne of Aragon! "Isn't there still you", in the past, his view of such questions was "how can it be you", such as the quarrel when he ascended the throne, in order to appease her husband, she gave him a lot of symbolic importance in the Segovia agreement, but did not directly declare him his co-ruler (although Ferdinand tried to make others think so), and now he is so directly ready to give himself this status...... If Isabella was an uneducated peasant woman, she would have felt that Ferdinand was possessed by the devil, and she now feels a little that Ferdinand was confused by the pacifist language of "only a small safety" that can be found everywhere in the palace. Or is he mentally ill? Of course, she knew that this was impossible, that the language of "co-incumbents" about the division of power was unlikely to come out of the mouth of a person with a bad brain, and she had a feeling that Ferdinand's attitude towards her was much better. But now, the great liar? The Lost New World? Her mind couldn't turn again, looking at his excited appearance, combined with his previous remarks, she somewhat understood, Ferdinand was obviously convinced that there was a vast new continent in the west of the western ocean, and decided to invest a lot of capital and energy in developing it and even decided to visit it himself!

But how could he be sure of the existence of the New World? Wait a minute......

"The second? Someone has already found out before? Who is the first one?! "Isabella keenly grasped a key message.

Ferdinand's heart was so excited that he burst into tears, brave Viking! Great Viking Legends! It's really useful to learn history well, hehe, Columbus, don't blame me for depriving you of your honor, anyway, that honor was not yours in the first place, even the Americans admit that the Viking discovered it, I'm just restoring the truth of history, don't you think you're in Asia to death? Then the honor of discovering the New World will not be given to you either!

"Leif Eriksson's father was the Norwegian exile pirate - Eric the Redhead, and his mother was Thjodhildr. His father carried out two routes pioneered by the ancient Norse, east and west, both in the Greenland sea, which his father named.

Leif grew up in Norway and was a Christian, and when he returned to Greenland, he was determined to follow in his father's footsteps and explore the wilderness of Greenland, so he bought a boat and set sail to an area that one of the shipowners, Bjarni Holjofsen, had explored. The year is 1002 A.D.

Leif chose to venture in the opposite direction to Bijani, and the first island he arrived on was full of flat stones, so he named it Helluland, which means flat rock. He then arrived at another gentler island with woods and white sand beaches, which he named Markland, meaning Island of Trees; In fact, it is a huge peninsula on the edge of the New World between a large bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Leif and his entourage then settled on the next island, where they found that there were quite a lot of salmon in the river, and that the climate was mild, with only a little frost in winter, and not so much ice and snow. And the grass is still green in winter. So Leif lived on the island until the winter passed. This expedition also mentions that Tyrkir, Lef's follower, may have come from the German region and found grapes on the island. In the end, Leif named this rich island Vinland, Vinland, and there is a saying that Vin in Old Norse refers to natural grasslands, so it was named Vinland. On the return trip from this expedition, Leif rescued a shipwrecked Norwegian at sea, which gave Leif a new nickname, "Good Luck Lef". ”

Ferdinand's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he slightly modified and revealed the information he had specially recorded on Baidu search about this matter. "There is no doubt that he discovered the New World, but because of his humble status and the turbulent situation in Northern Europe, no country and no one else at the time noticed that there was such a vast continent to the west of Europe! I speculate that this continent will stretch from near the North Pole to near the South Pole, and it will lie on the road from Europe to Asia in the west, and there may be a vast sea beyond this New World, and after passing through it, you can reach Asia, and then go around the southern tip of Africa around the Earth, but Asia is not so important compared to this New World, which is no less important than the Asian continent in size, land and resources, and where the indigenous people are only backward tribes and primitive countries, It is easier to rule and conquer than in the East, which already has a developed civilization! With this new continent and its transformation into Castilian territory, our country will become the dominant player in Europe and the world order! ”

"Is this true?" Although she felt that this question was pointless, Isabella couldn't help but ask, it was really a bit beyond her imagination.

Alas, the limitations of history. Ferdinand frowned and said, "Could it be that I said so much in a serious way, just to make a joke with you?" "Don't say it, Isabella really guessed half of it, the reason why Ferdinand wrote down Leif Eriksson's expedition in such detail was to embarrass others when they asked "who discovered the New World of America".

Isabella thought about it and discovered that her husband's words had an amazing possibility! Court scholars were sometimes pedantic, but they had a wealth of geographical knowledge, and they said that the distance to Asia was far greater than Columbus imagined, and Columbus vowed that he would definitely reach land by going west, and even said that he was moved, and his husband made a detailed investigation of the Vikings' seafaring experience, and found that the Vikings had discovered new land in the west...... Everything points to an incredible but highly anticipated answer - a new continent!

"If this is true...... Isabella was also a little excited, "we should approve Columbus's request as soon as possible, and I am afraid that he may seek help from other countries, especially Portugal, because of his long cold reception (in fact, it is not a cold reception, just a shelf)." ”

"He has been firmly rejected by the Portuguese, who are adamant that India should be in the east of Europe, and that Portugal will not accept Columbus, which is a foolish decision, although they are actually right, but ......" Ferdinand changed his words, "we will agree to his request at once now, but his asking price is too high, and we will have to negotiate with him for a while before reaching an agreement, which will drag on for about three months." ”

As a navigator who worked with the government, Columbus's conditions were appalling:

1. His Majesty appointed Christopher Columbus as commander of all islands and lands "to be discovered or acquired by hard work."

2. Appoint Christopher Columbus as vice-king and governor of the land that was discovered or acquired.

3. He may levy and retain a tenth of the gold, silver, pearls and precious stones, spices, and other commodities acquired in these regions, and shall be exempt from tax at all.

4. Any case involving these goods or products shall be adjudicated by him or his agent in the capacity of commander-in-chief.

5. Columbus could collect one-eighth of the profits of ships sailing to these new territories.

"It may not have been much before, but it is too much for a navigator to have such a large interest in a new land a hundred times the size of Castile." Ferdinand's eyes lit up and he said, "Well, if so much wealth comes into his hands...... Mountains of gold and silver! Ferdinand almost drooled, of course, the king needed to pay attention to the image, he controlled himself, and did not let the prince Juan on the side have any misunderstanding.

In fact, Ferdinand didn't particularly care about Columbus's conditions, he wanted to delay it, because he hoped that Columbus's maiden voyage would not change as in history, that it must depart on the same day, and that there must be no mistakes in the exploration of the New World of America. Ay! It's all to blame for Columbus for changing the logbook! He had been interested in it before and had searched for it...... Now the first voyage must be guaranteed to be foolproof, and he does not want to interfere with the contradictions between the three brothers of Columbus and Pingsong in history, otherwise God knows what the butterfly effect is, wait for the second time, by that time, he is ready to make the second voyage of Columbus, the largest in history, bear more fruitful fruits!

"His attitude is very resolute, I'm afraid it's not easy to change." Isabella, although she also feels a little inappropriate, is not optimistic about the possibility of lowering the conditions.

"Then say yes to them all!" Ferdinand said boldly, "Castile and Aragon don't care about that, we can-

……

"Repentance!!

……………………

Today, Prince Juan, first in line to the throne of Castile and Aragon, feels that his worldview, outlook on life and values have been completely turned upside down.

If my father had cut off his relationship with those women, would he have said the same thing?
