So the problem is solved! So what are we sitting here for? I've just been on a long voyage, and I've run out of strength from the sea, so I beg your pardon for taking my leave. You can go and talk to Baron Jiang about the specific loan matters, and she will have full authority to represent me. For this kind of occasion of calculating each other face-to-face, Hong Tao is very cold, and it is better to go to sleep more if you have this kung fu. He was not exhausted by the sea, but by Jiang Zhuyi and the three of them just now, and his eyelids were fighting.

I slept until noon the next day, and after getting up, Hong Tao went to the bathroom to enjoy Aya's massage techniques, this time it was a pure massage, without holding hands. Those European aristocrats were really able to toss, no less than the clubbing people of later generations, and the ball lasted until the early hours of the morning, most of the people got on the boat and left, and the rest pretended to be dead pigs in the guest rooms.

"Huh? William, you still don't leave after you get the money, are you going to eat Carl poor? As soon as Hong Tao arrived at the restaurant, he saw Friedrich II muttering something to Karl with a pair of panda eyes.

"Hong, why do you want to involve Karl in the war, you have to explain it to me!" Seeing Hong Tao, Friedrich II immediately stood up, with a very bad face. It seems that he really loves his cousin, and is waiting to seek justice for Carl.

"Aya, let them all go out, watch at the door, and no one is allowed to enter. William, don't worry, your cousin is very hard, he will be fine. Besides, you should be blamed for this matter, who let you have so many broken mouths around you, and the money has not been borrowed, others will know. If you don't bring Karl in, will you let Baron Jiang fight against the Franks and the King of England? Behind them stood the Holy See. Hong Tao first asked Aya to take away all the servants in the restaurant before sitting down. Pick up a bowl of noodles. It's his favorite. Carl is good for this one.

"William, don't worry about me, if the Saracens wanted to attack me, they would have fought a long time ago, as long as I didn't take the initiative to attack them, they would have walked around my castle. Actually, it's not bad to fight, I've been here for the past few years, and I'm about to keep my bones soft, just right for activities. "Carl is really not afraid of war, and he knows in his heart how strong Karl Fort is. Looking at Europe, apart from Constantinople, there is probably no second fortification that can match the defensive capabilities of Karlburg. Moreover, he still has an abundant supply of slaves as soldiers, and there is no need to worry about logistics, he has sea ships, and no one can stop him when he reaches the sea.

"I am not afraid of the Saracens, but of the Christians...... If they drive out all the Saracens, sooner or later your territory will be swallowed up by them. Why do you have to have this land? "Friedrich II saw it very clearly, but he didn't understand why Karl had to guard the barren land of Karlburg.

"It's good here, I need to go whaling to make money. Must be close to the deep sea. Carl replied very well this time, not to lie to his cousin. Didn't quite tell the truth.

“…… Speaking of whales, those Venetian guys are going out to whaling too, and they're going to rob your whale oil market, and you can't fight them alone. If you need to, you can go to Re Na and Ya to form a fleet in the name of the royal family and compete with the Venetians for the whale oil market. Friedrich II saw that Hong Tao and Karl were not worried about the war, so he didn't say much more, and mentioned the whale oil matter in passing.

"Hehehe...... It doesn't matter, the whales are not raised by Carl, and whoever has the ability will let them be killed. As long as the war starts, Carl won't worry about running out of money, hehehe...... "Hong Tao really doesn't want Carl to make money by whaling all the time, this is just to let Carl have something to do, and he won't do anything else."

But now it's different, Fort Karl has become Jiang Zhuyi's stronghold in Europe, and her profits are enough to make up for the loss of whale oil. If the Europeans can fight the ****** North Africa on the Iberian Peninsula, Karl will really have no way to make money. He can sell weapons on both sides, and this thing has been the most lucrative business in the world since ancient times, and glass, perfume, clothes, sugar, whale oil, and soap are not enough.

"You're more like a Jew...... Carl, be careful, protect yourself, don't listen to him for everything...... I said it in vain, your soul has been taken over by the devil. Friedrich II quickly figured out what Hong Tao meant by making a fortune, and he couldn't say anything about it.

In his heart, he didn't want to go to war with the Saracens, and it would be foolish to go to war for the sake of the Holy See. But he was also the emperor of the Christians, and he could not stand up against jihad. Especially with the Holy See in the middle, it is what he wants to see the most if he can cause trouble to the Holy See. But he was worried about Carl, for fear that if this kind of eating and eating outside was discovered by others, then Carl's situation would be dangerous.

"William, do you want the scholars from the academy to spend a few years in my country? Next time I'll bring my scholars with me, and let's set up a research center in your university to specialize in medicine. By combining the medical knowledge of the East, the West, the Azarins, the Byzantines, and the Greeks, it may be possible to develop more medical methods. Then your name will not only be the emperor, it will be remembered forever by future generations, and this matter has nothing to do with the devil, right? Hong Tao didn't want Friedrich II to get too involved in his plans, so he quickly found a topic that he had to be interested in.

If you want to mix in Europe, in addition to adopting shady economic aggression, you have to put on a radiant coat for yourself, so that Europeans can see that you are an angel who brings them benefits, not a demon who blows up churches everywhere.

What to turn yourself into an angel for Europeans? Teaching them to build warships and artillery will definitely not work, and then the angels will soon be captured by them and kept in captivity. It will not be possible to teach them how to sail, and then the angel's home will not be saved. Hong Tao didn't want to teach them modern physics, chemistry, and mathematics, but Hong Tao didn't think there was any threat to him about medicine.

European medicine was not the same as the development direction of the A-La and Han Chinese, who relied more on the discovery of various drugs, and who was more inclined to study the anatomy of the human body, which may have been influenced by the Greeks, who knows. If they can develop Western medicine, and then cooperate with some medical knowledge of the A-La and Han people, as well as Africans and Americans, to come up with a comprehensive and systematic medicine, it will save them a lot of trouble.

Hong Tao doesn't have so much energy to research and develop various disciplines, and the Jinhe Empire also doesn't have the ability to do all-round research and development, and some knowledge needs to be accumulated, such as medicine. Rather than putting it alone, it is better to take out your limited knowledge and give a wake-up call to those who are interested in studying these things, and then sit back and wait for their research results, and by the way, you can also help yourself beautify your image, why not?

"That's a good idea...... If I am not the emperor and I also want to go to your country to see, how many people can you take with you? Sure enough, as soon as Friedrich II heard about the exchange between them, he immediately forgot about the topic just now, rubbed his hands and remembered the scene of scholars from all over the world sitting together and talking, and he was very yearning.

"What? You don't want to empty all the universities in Naples! I can't afford to feed that many people! It's enough to bring me a few, try it first, and if it works well, next year or the year after, I'll bring them back, and by the way, bring the scholars from the East to try it too. Hong Tao played a little trick in his words, he didn't say to bring back the scholars of the Jinhe Empire, but to say the oriental scholars. Because he didn't want these European scholars to go to Jinhewan at all, but wanted to send them to the Great Song Dynasty.

"Oh, it's still free, you pay! I take back what I just said, you don't seem to be the devil! Karl, go tell my captain that I'm going to set sail at once, I'm going to get a few more people over. Forget it, I'll go by myself, Hong, wait for me to come back, be sure to wait for me to come back! Friedrich II heard another meaning from Hong Tao's words, these exchange scholars did not have to pay for him, but Hong Tao was responsible, so they had to go, and they had to go quickly, lest Hong Tao regret it. This is also a large expense for a poor emperor, a poor emperor who still has to fight. (To be continued.) )
