It is difficult to summarize in one word, but in short, the Spanish front against Protestantism has begun to fester.

Now it depends on whether the Madrid side has any countermeasures, and if this front is allowed to continue like this, then the defeat will definitely belong to the Spaniards.

It is also strange to think that Zhao Hongyu was doing prisoner trade in Lisbon and paid the cost of the concession at the same time.

It stands to reason that this money would be more than enough to pay for the war on this side of the Netherlands.

But how can this still be the case?

It turned out that the money delivered by Zhao Hongyu was immediately transferred by the nobles after it was paid to Madrid, and only half of the total number was left when it fell into the hands of the royal family.

And this half of the money, if used to deal with the war in the Netherlands, can also solve the current crisis.

But the royal family did not do this, they used the money to hold a few lavish banquets, and then bought a lot of luxuries. At the same time, it was paid to the mistresses or mistresses, so the money paid by Zhao Hongyu was gone.

If Zhao Hongyu knew about this matter, it is estimated that he would really be speechless.

The degree of defeat and methods of these people are really better than him.

And these things are really brain-dead in the eyes of later generations, but they are indeed very common in this era.

At the same time, in real history, the Spanish royal family and the nobles of the European continent are indeed such people.

Their way of doing things is simply unimaginable to future generations.

If you really want to give them a comparison, it is that they have a fight with the 'King of Zhou' in the wild history novel, and even the 'King of Zhou' can't compare to them.

It was an age of genius and brain-dead, strange and mentally ill.

It's just that later generations have been whitewashed by a large number of rice countries, which makes people feel that Europe in this era is very psychedelic and beautiful.

If you can really experience it for yourself, then you will know that everything is not the same thing, everything is completely different from the movie.

To put it simply, those are all 'stories'.

Exuberance and extravagance. And what is hidden under the colorful colors are all kinds of truths that you can't imagine.

I have to say that the blockbuster in the United States is very cheating.

In the blockbuster of the United States, when it comes to this kind of history, it is all kinds of whitewashing.

Handsome men and beautiful women, drunken gold fans, lakes and mountains, castles and white horses, brave knights, this is really very suitable for the appetite of some petty bourgeoisie.

But this is not the case.

Zhao Hongyu is a man from later generations. It's a real experience.

"Seriously, French food isn't very tasty, it doesn't taste good at all. If you haven't been to Venice, you don't know what the delicious food is like, but the food in the Americas is also very good, and I've heard many people mention it, so I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to try it now. ”

Ahh~ A mouthful of thick yellow phlegm spit on the silver plate.

Zhao Hongyu looked at the one who was talking to him on the other side, and felt sick to his stomach for a while.

I don't know what kind of habit this is, when I actually eat. Just spit it on the table or on a plate.

Doesn't this guy know what hygiene is?

"Don't blame him, that's how people eat in Venice and in many parts of Europe."

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu's face was a little unpleasant, Sara gently pulled him and explained in a whisper.

My grandma. What kind of habit is this, it's really unbearable.

The man sitting opposite Zhao Hongyu looked to be in his thirties, and with a golden mustache, it could be seen that he often took care of it. Otherwise, the beard wouldn't be so neat.

He was dressed in black mainstream Europe, with a wide-brimmed boat-shaped felt hat on his head and a small half-length cape on his shoulders.

It looks like a talent like a human demon dog. But this habit Zhao Hongyu really can't agree with.

But Sara was right, his mother's habit was the best way for Europeans to eat.

"If you go to Venice, you'll know that in Venice restaurants and restaurants are full of phlegm......

"Well, don't say it, I'll throw up if I say it again." , Zhao Hongyu raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his stomach was nauseated. It was not easy to suppress the feeling of nausea, and Zhao Hongyu had to say to Sara for mercy.

"Actually, I'm not used to this kind of style, I still think the Song Empire's habits are very good." , Sara saw Zhao Hongyu like this, so she had to stop talking about this topic.

The man who had lunch with Zhao Hongyu was the administrator of Marseille.

Queen Mary had not yet arrived in Marseille at this time, so she asked the administrator to come and contact Zhao Hongyu first, touch his temperament by the way, and then report to Mary.

That's how we got to meet today.

But this meeting brought Zhao Hongyu endless nightmares, and he swore that he would never eat these people again, which was simply disgusting.

However, the person concerned did not have such an awareness at all, and the magistrate looked arrogant, put the napkin on the plate with thick phlegm, and then very gracefully asked his subordinates to remove the dishes.

Mom's, it's not good to be elegant on the outside and not in the bones, and the big piece of rice is really a cheat.

Zhao Hongyu couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Queen Marie apologizes, Paris is a bit far from Marseille, so it will take a little time for her to get here, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long."

The tableware was quickly put away by the attendants, and the administrator named Miro began to chat with Zhao Hongyu.

Holding back the urge to vomit and trying to divert his attention as much as possible, Zhao Hongyu said: "Nothing, I can understand." I would like to thank you for your hospitality today, because you let me know so many interesting facts about Europe, don't you? ”

Zhao Hongyu was very hypocritical and chatted with the other party.

From the rivers of Venice, they talked about where the women were, especially to Pierrot, the flower company in Venice, which caused them to talk about the common topic.

Speaking of this Pierrot, he is very famous, and even later generations made a film based on him.

More than 100 years ago, Pierrot was a household name in Venice, with whom there were thousands of women.

Some women are even married men, and nuns who have made a vow to serve God.

I have to say, this guy is really exciting.

Men, this kind of topic is always indispensable in general chats, and this kind of topic can quickly shorten the distance.

Under Miro's deliberate flattery, and Zhao Hongyu's hypocritical laughter, they seemed to become close.

But Sara knew that it wasn't like that at all.

Don't look at the two of them smiling brightly, but that's not what they think in their stomachs.

"The Venetian merchants are stingy, but they always get rich, and now they have a monopoly on the lard trade in Europe, but fortunately there is also Greek olive oil, otherwise these pickers would have made more money."

At this time, Miro talked about some things about trade goods, which aroused Zhao Hongyu's great interest.

Then, under Zhao Hongyu's constant clichés, Miró told Zhao Hongyu about some of the most extensive commodities on the European continent.

Cashmere and textiles in England, livestock trade in Spain, minerals and cotton and linen in France, ivory and gold in Africa, and slave women in Arabia, tobacco and coffee in Central America, soybeans, corn, potatoes, and in short, Europe has a crazy spending power for goods.

And the olive oil from Greece mentioned by Miró, as well as the lard of Venice, are also one of the mainstream consumer commodities in Europe.

Zhao Hongyu secretly kept these commodities in his heart, and thought: One day Lao Tzu will monopolize all these commodities, and when the time comes, you will want to die.

In fact, the goods that Miró is talking about are not very complete, in fact, the number of goods is more than he said.

At the same time, he has not counted the goods of the Song Empire in the Americas.

"When the men were talking, it was boring. Sarah, why don't we have some fun and play cards? Emma, who was with her at this time, asked Sara in a whisper.

Emma's temperament is very out-of-the-box, and after her father's and mother's education when she was in the Americas, she was able to restrain a little.

After all, she represents the face of the Indians.

However, Zhao Hongyu released her character intentionally or unintentionally, and did not overly suppress the little girl's temperament.

So, Emma slowly turned around.

Originally, in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, what does it matter to jump out of some, why do you have to pretend to be a teenager and an old man.

Emma pretends to be a little adult every day, which is completely devastation of minors.

Zhao Hongyu didn't want Emma to live such a girlhood.

"Wait, they're still chatting, and it's rude for us to say goodbye like this."

Sara whispered in response to Emma.

Emma pouted, a little unhappy.

"What a coward, we can't interject when they talk, it's not interesting to sit here, why do we stay here if we are not wood."

Emma whispered to Sarah.

"Since you don't dare to say it, then I'll tell him."

Then, before Sara had time to stop her, Emma stood up and said to Zhao Hongyu: "I'm bored here, I'm going to play cards with Sara and others, I don't think you will object." ”

Zhao Hongyu glanced at Emma when he heard this, and said, "Go, go, you can go and play after eating, you don't have to report to me at all." ”

Hee-hee, Emma looked at Sara with a grin and gestured.

This gesture was learned from Zhao Hongyu, which means 'victory or happiness'.

I really spoil you, it seems that the most powerful person in the family is really you.

Sara shook her head and thought to herself.

But little Emma didn't pay attention to so much, she quickly took Sarah's hand, and happily left here with her to find someone to play cards. (To be continued.) )
