It would take some time for the coronation, but Ernst did not wait in the palace for the arrival of the Vatican, and the streets of Vilnius, although not as prosperous as Prague, had their charm.

With no visible guards and no vehicles, Ernst walked the streets of Vilnius on foot. After all, it is not a Czech principality, and pedestrians on the streets naturally do not recognize that the person who is passing by is Ernst Franz, who is about to be crowned king of Lithuania.

The forests of the Kingdom of Lithuania are very intact, and the forests have almost occupied more than 30% of the entire Kingdom of Lithuania, although they are mostly coniferous forests, there are many oak and birch trees, and you can even encounter small squirrels in the suburbs. The air was nice, and this was perhaps Ernst's deepest impression of Vilnius.

The forest is rich in mushrooms, berries, and herbs, and the rise of European Chinese medicine here, at least in Ernst's eyes. If there is an opportunity, Ernst will establish several large herb breeding bases here, and it is believed that close to these bases will bring a lot of income to the Kingdom of Lithuania.

It's a market worth tens of billions of pounds, and although Western medicine is now believed in all regions outside of Asia, Ernst believes that Chinese medicine will rise sooner or later, and once it rises, it will inevitably be the time of the decline of Western medicine. Although Western medicine works quickly, at the same time, it can also cause serious damage to the human body, especially the liver and kidneys.

It is important to pay attention to health preservation, a large number of health care products are important auxiliary drugs, it can naturally be calculated into the Chinese medicine market, so a large herbal medicine base will definitely bring an important economic market that cannot be ignored with the rise of traditional Chinese medicine and the best-selling of traditional Chinese medicine, and tens of billions of pounds may be far more than that.

Because of the Czech Principality, Chinese medicine is now very popular in Eastern Europe, especially after the opening of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Czech Principality, several national treasures called national hands were invited to the Czech Principality, and this phenomenon has reached its peak.

The only thing that makes Ernst a little embarrassed may be that these nationalists only teach Chinese, but Ernst doesn't care, after all, there are not a few ethnic Chinese in the Czech principality, and they have even begun to integrate into the collective of the Czech principality. The Czech principality also gave these Chinese people in return, that is, they opened up the qualifications of cabinet members to Chinese people.

Although the Czech Principality has always preached fairness and justice, few people of African and Chinese descent can hold important positions in politics, and the current liberalization policy is undoubtedly a prelude to great integration.

The topic is a bit remote, and let's talk about the herbal base of the Kingdom of Lithuania. Now with the recognition of traditional Chinese medicine in Eastern Europe, a large number of precious medicinal materials have also become popular, and ginseng, snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, tiger whip and so on worth tens of hundreds of pounds are very popular among wealthy merchants and aristocrats in Eastern Europe.

Unfortunately, Eastern Europe was separated from the East by a Soviet Union, so the medicinal herbs purchased in large quantities by the Russian Empire could not be sold to Eastern Europe at all. Of course, as relations between the Soviet Union and the Czech principalities began to thaw, it was only a matter of time before goods from the East were sold to the West.

Siberia was close to China, so Ernst gave orders to help protect the environment and over-harvesting Chinese herbs. The Prime Minister of the Russian Empire, Stannis Gross, could only say his best, because China was not the Russian Empire after all.

In addition to herbal medicines, the Lithuanian Kingdom may also be able to get its hands on the timber market, after all, the Lithuanian Kingdom is very rich in forest resources. However, Ernst has always been disgusted with such things that are harmful to the environment, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have asked Stannis Gross to help protect Huaxia's herbal resources.

What is the main reason for the lack of economic improvement in Siberia? It's not that Ernst doesn't want to exploit Siberia's resources early or excessively! Of course, even mining will not have a good price now, because of the sales channels, because of the current international resource prices.

Mongolia had countless coal mines in Ernst's previous life, but why couldn't Mongolia improve its economy? It is because his coal mines can only be sold to China and Russia, but the two countries are not short of resources, so the Mongolian economy has not been able to improve.

The Middle East is different, where oil can be sold to the world through the United States, and their biggest customer is the United States. Of course, the difference in the strategic importance of coal and oil is also the main reason. But one thing is true, the sales channel is a very important thing, otherwise you will have to be slaughtered.

For example, in the future, when the Soviet Union and the Czech principality opened up trade, would there be a layer of customs duties for those precious herbs passing through the Soviet Union? That is an inevitable thing, and this layer of tariff is often not deducted from the channel but the source of origin, and the final pit can only be the source of origin.

Timber in the Kingdom of Lithuania is an important export item, but the price of timber is often not high, especially in Eastern Europe, which is not a place where there is a shortage of timber. Large quantities of timber had to be shipped to Western Europe, but in general it was not a profitable business. In Ernst's eyes, at least, it was not worth exchanging his country's resources for such a small amount of money, especially in an era when the economy was not paramount.

There is a small restaurant on the side of the street, and the Lithuanian food is good, so Ernst is interested in tasting it. The small restaurant is very quiet, and there is no loud noise, in fact, except in taverns and other places, it is difficult to see uncivilized diners in restaurants and the like.

"Dear sir, what kind of food would you like to have?"

Perhaps because of the translation, Ernst could only roughly understand what the other party meant. He casually pointed to the plates of food depicted on the leaflet on one side, then pulled out £20 and placed it on the table. The pound sterling is almost an international currency, and when Ernst has no local cash in his hands, he will be recognized for taking out the pound.

20 pounds is a lot of wealth, you must know that the high-ranking servants of the palace who are relatively well-paid are only a dozen pounds a month, and now Ernst is 20 pounds, and the owner of the restaurant is naturally very enthusiastic. The large floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the street, and it was almost noon when the number of pedestrians began to increase, and it was worth Ernst's attention that they seemed to be all happy.

Although Ernst was not such a narcissist, he couldn't help but wonder if it had something to do with him. After all, the biggest thing in the Kingdom of Lithuania lately is its upcoming coronation.

While Ernst's behavior was indeed somewhat narcissistic, his guesses were similar. On the first day, the citizens of Vilnius were not impressed with their new king, and some were even a little resistant to his Habsburg status, but ......

There was a lot of work done by the Lithuanian cabinet in one night, and a lot of stories about Ernst Franz were publicized, and of course the most important thing was his relationship with the royal family of the Kingdom of Lithuania. Legitimacy is a very important thing, and if it weren't for that, the rebels wouldn't have raised the name of others when they rebelled.

Ernst in the introduction is not as important as his relationship with the Lithuanian royal family, because this is enough to make a large number of Lithuanian citizens approve of Ernst. Coupled with the fact that he is so good and one of the most powerful monarchs in Eastern Europe, there are very few people who resist him at this time. Of course, people with ulterior motives are not among them, and for those people, no matter how much you say, how much you do, and how strong your ability is, they will not be recognized.

The food that Ernst asked for was quickly served, steak, potato meatballs, eastern dumplings, beet cold soup...... Of course, Ernst was naturally unaware of these names, he just looked at the food served with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything about the food that needed to be tasted before he could draw conclusions.

Ernst didn't really like these things just by looking at them, but when he actually tasted them, he was full of praise. Lithuania is also a place of good food, and Ernst recognized such rumors at this moment.

It's a small restaurant, but its business seems to be small, and soon a few customers have arrived. As if a little surprised that there were guests so early, they couldn't help but look at Ernst twice. Of course, these men did not recognize Ernst's identity, but they sat opposite Ernst, so that the whispered conversation was also heard by Ernst.

"It is said that our new king is a Czech Grand Duke and has a great influence in Europe, and some say that our new king is very handsome."

It was a girl's words, but it seemed that she was more interested in Ernst himself. This is also normal, after all, the little girl's family is generally not very interested in state affairs, and the only ones who really interest them are those big people, preferably young big people like Ernst who are handsome and have a high status.

"Archduke Ernst did have a great deal of influence in Europe, and the Empress of the Russian Empire was his wife, but it seems that he and not Empress Maria were the real rulers of the Russian Empire."

Then he spoke a slightly chubby young man, who knew something about Ernst and at the same time had a good impression of him. Ernst could see his face, and naturally he could clearly see that the little freckles on his face were much more excited when he talked about himself.

"But I heard that he likes the unification of the German language, if he is ...... in the Kingdom of Lithuania"

"No, the Czech Principality also respects other languages, and I have a relative who is Czech, and he spoke Czech the last time I called. However, in general, the Czech principality is officially German, and although the school graduation is not linked to the language, it also accounts for important scores. ”
