Gold coins struck in Venice, Italy, issued between 1284 and 1840. Approximate pure gold (tested gold content of 0.997), weighing 3.56 grams.

It began to be used in the Republic of Venice in the 12th and 13th centuries, and was very popular in medieval Europe because of its ease of casting, carrying, and arrangement, and its high value. Also commonly found in Dutch gold and silver coins!

At present, it is also one of the most commonly used currencies in European countries to do business with the Ming Dynasty.

Even if it is sold as gold, it will be worth more than 1,000 yuan in the 21st century. However, most of them are sold as antiques, about a few thousand to 10,000 yuan each.

Of course, in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, it takes a few to exchange for a gold ingot in the Ming Dynasty.

Also deduct part of the fire consumption!

Five million ducats in gold are equivalent to about 40 million to 50 million taels of silver, which is converted into the tax of the Ming Dynasty. If it was before Zhu Zilong's arrival, it would only be less than five years of annual taxes.

Even now, after Zhu Zilong crossed, it is equivalent to only missing the annual tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty for one or two years.

It can be described as a huge sum of money that can make everyone crazy!

If it is thrown into the hands of any European country, it is estimated that he can use the money to hire a large number of troops. Sitting at home, he beat down several neighboring countries in the vicinity and recognized him as the boss.

For the Venetians, who call themselves the "bride of the sea god", it is not a problem to come up with this money, but it will be a pain in the flesh.

Also, it takes a little longer.

-

However, as long as the money can be in place, wait a while, Liu Feng and the others don't feel that it has much to do with it.

Therefore, in order to better urge them, they simply took the church army to live in Venice together. And while waiting, he will continue to use modern medicine to treat the people here.

So, "...... Bell-bell-bell-bell-bell! ”

Along with the few local churches, the bells rang.

The city of Venice, which was originally withered and dead. In this early morning, which was still a little foggy, it suddenly became very excited and noisy. They lined up in front of the church, their faces full of devotion and longing.

In each of them, he had a cross or rosary in his hand. There are even more hymns singing on his lips, singing praises to God and the Oriental Dragon, which are so pious that people can't help but feel a little puzzled.

You know, before that.

These people were largely insulated from religious fanaticism, and when did the Venetian merchants, who were able to open banks in front of churches and lend usury, become so religious?

Sure enough, in the face of the threat of death, no matter how much you don't believe in God, you will become believers.

The situation is stronger than the people!

And Liu Feng even erected a huge statue of the Oriental Dragon in the square in front of the church overnight, which is even bigger than the statue of God in the church.

The first people in line quickly got their medicines and then got their shots.

Then, after a few days, their original uncomfortable feeling disappeared immediately. Even some people who seem to be dying can get out of bed and walk around a few times at this time.

For a time, the Venetians, who had been governed first, wept with joy and hugged each other.

Even those with the weakest sense of faith are inspired by this moment. Became a believer in the dragon of the East and God!

It was a scene of joy and affection, where endless devotion and fraternity converged.

Liu Feng and others followed Zhu Zilong's meaning, and subconsciously raised the Oriental Divine Dragon to the same position as God in the hearts of Europeans. This first step has been effective everywhere.

And in order to allow Liu Feng and others, although they came up with more miracle medicines, they rescued the second and third batches of Venetians. As well as being able to relax a little and collect money quickly.

The Doge of Venice also sent a batch of Latin beautiful virgins, Swedish beautiful virgins, Spanish beautiful virgins, etc., as gifts.

That's right, in these years, it's not easy to be a beauty, you have to be a virgin, these women are priceless.

Whether in the past or in the future, among the 15 countries with the most beauties in the world in Europe. Sweden is in first place, and Swedish girls are fair-skinned, cute-looking, and have beautiful blue eyes.

Tall and tall, with a very high level of intelligence and independence, it can be called a model of both internal and external cultivation.

Of course, the Latin race is also beautiful, so the Spanish beauties, and the beauties of other countries, are also found, transported, and sent by the locals at great expense and with the spirit of not being afraid of death.

And, looking at so many beauties with a hundred flowers, Liu Feng finally remembered that he should give beauties to the Duke of the Four Seas, not just for himself.

It's not that he has a black heart, it's that he played before, or it wasn't a beautiful European Yanma.

Either a beautiful woman, but not a virgin. He felt that the words given to Zhu Zilong were a little out of his hands!

However, now, he feels that this batch of extremely high-quality, beautiful virgins should be able to take it. I only keep one-third of the beautiful virgins, and send the rest to Grandpa Guo.

Grandpa Guo gave him such a great power and status, and the benefits in the middle were not less. It can be described as a great history of fiefdom, but if you get carried away, you don't know the depths.

Some people in history who died badly and had high achievements, Liu Feng, as a businessman-born figure, knew that it was powerful.

You know, don't look at the army in your hands. But Liu Feng knew that when they listened to their own words, they would listen to Grandpa Guo's words. As long as you have the intention of rebellion and disloyalty, every minute, your fate will be terrible.

Of course, as long as he works hard, Grandpa Guo has always regarded himself as a brother.

Now his status, the territory and power he controls are basically on par with that of an emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at more than ten years ago, this kind of thing is really unimaginable!

-

When Liu Feng opened his eyes again, he immediately recognized what he should and should not do.

When I look at these beauties again, I no longer think about lust and desire, nor is it credit. It's a negative impact!

The beauty has to be accepted, but it must not be the person here, thinking that it can bribe her X size. No one should be given less money!

So, soon Liu Feng sent a message to the Doge of Venice to hurry up and send the first batch of valuable things.

In the face of crushing absolute power, any trickery is meaningless.

After seeing that Liu Feng didn't eat oil and rice, he only recognized the money.

The arrogant Venetians were extremely disappointed and accepted their fate, and the pope fell under their bribes, but this Bishop Liu Feng did not deal with it.

Originally, I wanted to take a break with the relationship between the pope, but it turned out that only Liu Feng had the magic medicine, alas.

(The Republic of Venice in the Middle Ages was a rare secular state.) Thanks to the generous bribes of successive governors to the popes, the power to appoint bishops in Venice was initially transferred to the government of the Republic. ）

Even in the Middle Ages, when religious strife and witch trials were at their highest, Venice rarely had burning at the stake for heresy.

Possessed absolute autonomy until it was later eliminated by Napoleon.

However, today they feel that their autonomy has obviously been threatened, but unfortunately they are powerless to resist, and they have to do their best to please each other.

The Venetians are in pain and happy, life is really helpless!
