Chapter 199: We Need to Be Justified
"Your Highness, do you know the way? This French Quebec was originally the widow's family domain, the private domain of Count Samuel's family, and did not belong to France. ”
Wang Shan whispered to Zhao Hongyu with an excited face.
What?
Zhao Hongyu was also surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Wang Shan to say such a thing.
"Are you sure?"
Zhao Hongyu felt that this was too impossible.
Wang Shanji replied seriously: "Nothing is impossible, and this is the truth. And the little widow's personal safety was somewhat dangerous, because the men of Count Samuel's family were dead, so the title of nobility was inherited by this little widow. And Quebec, a territory belonging to the Samuel family, was also inherited by her. ”
When Wang Shan said this, Zhao Hongyu understood a little.
It seems that the problem must lie in this Quebec territory.
Sure enough, Wang Shan continued: "All the men in the family are dead, and it is impossible for a widow to obtain such a large territory without attracting the prying eyes of others. Those big nobles and royalty are all eyeing up and wanting to make the territory their own. ”
In one night, Wang Shan inquired a lot of information from Leon.
Besides, Leon didn't think about hiding Wang Shan, after all, they had no interest in this matter.
The reason why Leon told Wang Shan this was that he hoped that Wang Shan would give them a little time to deal with the Quebec problem.
When the matter of Quebec is settled, then the matter of opening up the trade route on the road can begin.
But Leon and their knowledge that Quebec is Zhao Hongyu's target.
And now they are working hard to deal with a little widow, which just gives Zhao Hongyu a very suitable opportunity for them.
Moreover, by mistake, Zhao Hongyu also had a skin-to-skin relationship with the little widow, and these things were beyond the imagination of Leon and the forces behind him.
"Your Highness, you can imagine. A little widow guarding such a large area of land is like a little sheep telling the big bad wolf that you are coming. ”
Wang Shan pinched his nose and played treasure, but Zhao Hongyu couldn't laugh.
After glancing at Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan continued: "The chief executive and military officials here. And the tax collector is now a powerful person. And those who were loyal to the Samuel family were basically disposed of or disappeared. ”
Zhao Hongyu listened to Wang Shan's narration, and his heart was full of waves.
He had to sigh, he really did everything for the benefit of people.
"Is it worth it for the sake of a Quebec?" , Zhao Hongyu said faintly. Soon, however, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Is it worth it?
Of course it's worth it.
Not only the land, but also the abundant natural resources.
Pelts alone could bring the Samues millions of gold louis in profit a year. This is definitely not a small amount.
Therefore, in the eyes of those aristocrats, Quebec is a cornucopia.
The royal family also regretted that they had turned this land into the territory of the Samuel family in the first place.
And even Zhao Hongyu himself is now the same idea of fighting this land.
So, it was a mistake for him to question whether it was worth it or not.
"Of course it's worth it, Your Highness." Without waiting for Zhao Hongyu to explain, Wang Shan spoke: "Let's not talk about animal furs, there are very rich metal minerals here." Your Highness, you should know this. Even if we don't do it for those metal minerals, the land can be used to cultivate and grow food. ”
In Wang Shan's eyes. For the sake of Quebec's land, no matter how dirty it is, it is worth it.
So, he didn't think there's anything wrong with what Leon was doing.
If he was given Wang Shan to do it, it was estimated that it would be even more dirty than the power behind Leon.
The process is not important, Wang Shan values the result.
"These guys tampered with the income, and handed over the furs collected from Quebec to the powerful forces behind them, and the Samus family was out of nominal ownership. Basically, Quebec is no longer under control. Wang Shan sat up straight, and his voice gradually became louder.
And the widow noticed it. That's why she came to Quebec in person, ready to clean up these people. Wang Shan relayed Leon's words as they were, allowing Zhao Hongyu to understand what was happening in Quebec now.
"The widow had some means, and had arrested all the families of these men before she came, and hid them elsewhere. It seems that she is in a hurry. ”
Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu after the most reluctance.
After Zhao Hongyu heard Wang Shan tell this information, he did not speak immediately, but pondered and digested the information.
Later, he asked Wang Shan: "Leon and these people will not sit still, don't they have some means?" I don't think the forces behind them will give up this land of wealth, so I think they will definitely take action. ”
Hearing this, Wang Shan nodded with a smile and said, "Your Highness, what you said is right, Leon and these people will definitely not sit still." After all, millions of gold louis is not a small number, and it is impossible for them to give up this wealth. ”
"Does the other party have any plans?". Zhao Hongyu asked.
"They've sent someone to Manhattan to board a merchant ship bound for Europe, and they've told them what is happening here. Here Leon they will definitely stabilize Sara, and at the same time, their family will be rescued by the power behind them, and when the family is rescued, I don't need to say what happened to Sarah, the widow. ”
Zhao Hongyu was silent, how could he not be clear about the methods of these people.
"Your Highness, this is an opportunity for us." , Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu with flickering eyes, "Didn't you sleep with that widow, as long as you can capture her heart, we can completely rely on the power of Manhattan to occupy Quebec." and to obtain the name of righteousness, no one can say anything. ”
Wang Shan said his plan.
Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly: "I have a relationship with that widow, but I think she is not stupid, it is impossible that she will not fail to see our purpose." ”
Wang Shan pursed his lips: "It's just a woman, it depends on Your Highness's means." ”
Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while and felt that this kind of thing was not impossible.
"By the way, Wang Shan, I think I'm a handsome guy, but what happened yesterday was too strange. Is that a nymphomaniac? Otherwise, how could that happen when you first see me? ”
Zhao Hongyu has been wondering about this matter in his heart.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu asking, Wang Shan showed a smile when the weasel succeeded in stealing chickens.
"Your Royal Highness, in fact, this matter is like this......", and then Wang Shan told Zhao Hongyu about the perfume, which made Zhao Hongyu understand why Sarah, the little widow, would have such an abnormal situation.
I rubbed it, I dared to use this method, and I thought that woman was a nymphomaniac.
It turns out that all the problems are in the perfume.
"I said Wang Shan, your kid is a little unauthentic. I didn't tell me about this first, I thought I was so charming that people couldn't hold it when they saw me. Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan helplessly and said.
"Your Highness, didn't you look good yesterday. I'm also doing this for your own good, and it's not a matter of holding it all the time. Wang Shan found a high-sounding excuse.
"I said, why did you kid take a look at the binoculars yesterday and sprinkle me with some perfume. It turns out that you have seen that woman a long time ago, and then you have this plan. ”
Wang Shan didn't reply to this question, just a strong 'hey, hey, hey' smirk.
Anyway, Wang Shan knew that Zhao Hongyu would not do anything about himself on this issue, after all, he himself had been tossing with that woman for a night.
To put it mildly, Zhao Hongyu picked up a big bargain.
"Your Highness, what do you think about this now?"
"What else, let's pretend for the time being. Anyway, I can't let Leon and them see anything, and I'll get along with that Sara first, Leon and those people will have to deal with Sara in half a year. ”
After calculating the time for merchant ships to come and go back and forth in Europe, as well as the time to rescue Leon and their family, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan thought for a while: "Half a year is enough time for us to do a lot of things." ”
"Your Highness, this is the first thing. I'll tell you the second thing, which is also very important. After talking about the widow Sara, Wang Shan changed the subject.
"Oh, what else?" , Zhao Hongyu came back to his senses.
Wang Shan's expression became extremely serious this time, and he said to Zhao Hongyu: "Leon and these people are planning a war with the Iroquois, as long as the war is together, Sarah, the widow, will not be able to make a big wave." When it breaks out at the same time, they can also take the opportunity to get rid of this woman, you have to guard against it. ”
Zhao Hongyu's brows furrowed, he knew that if Sara died, then Wang Shan's plan would have to run aground.
After all, what Wang Shan needs is for Sara to stay alive and to send troops to Manhattan in her name.
With the name of righteousness, the countries of Europe could not say anything.
But without this righteous name, things get a little more complicated.
And when Quebec and Iroquois went to war, Zhao Hongyu and they also needed to plan carefully, so as to get the most benefits in this war.
"Do you think we're going to inform the Iroquois about this?" , Zhao Hongyu asked.
"I'll tell them, of course, but I don't think the Iroquois would trust us. After all, we are not very familiar with them, and we don't have much contact. ”
When Wang Shan heard this, he replied.
