Da Vinci was overjoyed to learn that his livelihood problems would soon be completely solved. Looking at the Last Supper in front of him, he decided to surprise the Marquis Perez.

For example, fill in the face of one of the apostles with the face of the Marquis Perez.

Nature is not good, and that has been honorably done by the Bishop of Milan. As to why later generations would know this, apart from da Vinci himself, the monks of the monastery were very supportive of it—no one else did the bishop's part.

The bishop said that the baby was bitter. He was spurned by the duke-hating Milanese for being considered "in cahoots" with Duke Ludovico Sforza, but the Duke and Pope Alexander VI were the real complicit, and the cart that carried the gold bribes north under the papal crown is still in the duke's mansion as a symbol of the long-lasting friendship between the two.

So, the first change that Ferdinand's action caused to da Vinci was the change in the face of St. Peter, the head of the twelve, in The Last Supper! Turned into the face of the Marquis of Perez! As the painting became popular, the Marquis of Pérez soon became famous among the Spanish aristocracy (he was Niderhogg, yes, but the marquis, the family identity could not be hidden), just like the Bishop of Milan.

In addition, Leonardo da Vinci created another painting, which is very shocking!

"The Smile of the Mona Lisa" is still famous, but even more sensational than it is "The Smile of Louis"! ——

This is a romantic, yet very realistic painting. After only one side, da Vinci painted directly without looking at people, and a women's clothing boss who was flowing out of the dust, with long hair and waist, and did not eat fireworks in the world, came to life on the paper!

Louis's smile, though not as mysterious as the Mona Lisa's, is more meaningful! Michelangelo's astonishing remark about this, "I have long hair and waist-length hair, and now it's good to marry you" is considered to be the most brilliant explanation of the philosophical ♂ spirit contained in this work.

Sadly, the protagonist of the painting, who was later confirmed to be a vigorous intelligence agent from Nidhogg, died untimely in 1498. He refused the gift of the painting and never saw Monsieur da Vinci again. His tombstone is inscribed with a line of small letters, "May there be no Finch in heaven."

The artist's career came to an end for the time being. While Leonardo da Vinci was working on his amazing masterpiece with joy, the state apparatus of Castile and Aragon was also beginning to slowly kick in, and in this year, it will burst out with great power!

This year, the state apparatus, primarily the state apparatus of the Kingdom of Aragon, will complete three not-so-trivial tasks -

drive the French out of southern Italy and liberate the Kingdom of Naples;

The invasion of Tunisia in North Africa (described in advance) by the Hafs dynasty took deep control of Tunisia, and Spain ceded the island of Djerba, the Gulf of Cádiz, Tripolitania, and especially the last area, which became an important base in North Africa to contain the invasion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire;

Finally, the most magnificent national action of the year was launched - a large-scale expedition to the Americas! Here we have to express regret for some undesirable phenomena in later generations.

The later solar system overlord Iberia and the United Empire of America - Xia, that is, the confederation of Chinese and Western republics, various films about Ferdinand the Great are naturally indispensable. Unfortunately, despite the Emperor's repeated protests, the comments and barrage etiquette of such films are still not observed. Even the hard UP in the background dares to defy the law.

The following is an uncivilized phrase from the introduction of the documentary "The Conquest of America" (episode 3 of 1496):

Ferdinand: "Get out of the way, I'm going to start pretending to be B!" ”

……

On January 5, 1496, Valencia, the second largest port in Aragon and the third largest city (after Zaragoza at this time), on the western coast of the Mediterranean, did not experience the unbearable cold as in the rest of Europe.

Winters on the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea are mild and humid. Valencia is crossed by the Hucal River and its Cabriel River. Irrigated agriculture has been well developed since the time of the Roman Empire.

Ferdinand felt a sense of intimacy with this "pearl of the Mediterranean", because the climate here is like the land of Fujian, and the crops near the sea here are not Sardinian wheat, but rice – in line with Ferdinand's diet. At the same time, since the invasion of the Arab Empire in 711, rice, oranges and gunpowder were brought here.

That's right, there is also a gunpowder, which is an important gunpowder production place in Spain now and in the future, and an artillery production plant will be established to supply a large part of the gunpowder and guns, so that the Spanish phalanx can cross Europe and conquer overseas. This shows that there is already a lot of potential for a military-industrial base here, and it can realize Ferdinand's grand plan to create a military-industrial complex on the mainland.

However, Valencia's main industry now is shipbuilding! This is the most developed center of shipbuilding in Aragon, and for the past four years Ferdinand has continued to build Galen ships and clippers in all the port cities of Aragon and in some Castilian shipyards, a quarter of which came from the Valencian shipyards, and half of the production of Galen warships came from this factory. Of the 8,000 shipbuilders hired from Flanders and other places, 60% were concentrated in Valencia. Shipyards and dockyards were repeatedly added to the site, and several technical improvements were made.

Valencia was not the place where the fleet departed, and the timing was not right, so Ferdinand was not here to watch the fleet's feat.

Today, Ferdinand came to inspect the place as a king, doing a little work.

What catches his eye is the wide road, the towering buildings, the neat city, and the beautiful environment, all of which attract his attention......

(Inner monologue: Ahem, actually, the truth is, what I see is a hurried masonry, a public toilet rising from the ground, a mighty chengguan, and a beggar wailing (dragged to labor)...... The most distinctive thing is the vegetable market...... ）

Ferdinand then travels to the shipyards and dockyards in Valencia, where he wants to visit the great builders of these projects. In a busy shipyard, the keels of Galen ships are being laid. In the last few days, several ships have been built and are now moored in the port of Valencia.

When His Majesty King Ferdinand drove to the shipyard, after listening to the director's report on the construction of the new ship, His Majesty King Ferdinand put on a hard hat and climbed to the top to observe the operation of the shipyard on the spot.

Witnessing the hard work and hard work of the workers, His Majesty King Ferdinand was very excited, and he turned around and asked the factory director: "How long will it take to build one of these ships?" ”

The director replied: "The highest record was when a Flemish boatman assembled a Flute sailboat in 12 days. But the construction of the Galen ships, especially the warships, was much longer, and if the supply of skilled craftsmen and timber was sufficient, and we were able to enjoy the conditions for both years, it would be possible to complete a normal Galen ship of five hundred tons in three to six months. A well-built 600-ton warship usually takes more than half a year or even a whole year. This is all thanks to the hard work of the boatmen, especially the craftsmen and mechanics of Flanders, who contributed a lot. ”
