1018 New Commodities Popular in Europe
When he came to the East, he met the ninjas such as Hattori Chizuru, and Zhao Hongyu realized that history had gone wrong. And the history of the Wa Kingdom has become unbelievable.
However, Zhao Hongyu didn't care too much about this.
In his opinion, this is just an inconsequential change.
Moreover, the cheating device he relies on allows him not to care too much about history.
Therefore, even if there is a deviation, the impact on him is not very large.
However, what he would never have imagined was that it was not only the Wa Kingdom that had changed now. The history of the continent today has begun to deviate because of his mixture.
Protestants and churches were in secret contact, and secret agreements were reached.
Just before the Spring Festival in the East, a news broke out that shocked the European continent.
That is, the Protestants and the Church ceased war, and they formed a grand alliance. ‘
The name of this alliance is 'Glory of God', and the Protestants and the Church will work together to deal with Portugal and France. In order to regain the colonies left by Spain.
Its purpose is self-evident, that is, after killing Portugal and France, it will regain control of various colonial pairs in Africa, and at the same time aim at the Song Empire in the Americas.
However, although the pressure on Portugal and France increased, they did not panic too much.
After all, there was a lot of aid from the Song Empire in the Americas, so the domestic economy of Portugal and France was stable, and the people lived a very good life.
As long as there is stability at home, then Portugal and France have nothing to fear.
In particular, the Ottoman Turkish Empire sent people to the Song Empire in the Americas, reached a secret agreement with the Song Empire, joined the Triple Alliance, and became the fourth ally.
In this way, the newly formed God Glory Coalition will face a situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy.
After all. The geographical location of the Ottotic Empire was precisely behind the Church Alliance.
Thus, the Portuguese and French, who controlled the Mediterranean Sea head-on, and the Ilias Peninsula, confronted the Glory of God coalition. The Ottomans attacked the rear flank of the allied forces of God and Glory.
When the time comes, the Divine coalition will have to open up a two-front battlefield.
The two sides clashed frequently on the road and at sea, and they were evenly matched.
The 8,000 volunteers of the Song Empire in the Americas had already crippled the army of the Holy Roman Empire, so they retreated to Marseille to rest and start to sit back and watch the Europeans fight themselves.
The Imperial Concessions, established in Lisbon and Marseille, began to gather intelligence from all over Europe. A steady stream of feedback will be sent to the Imperial Intelligence Agency of the Americas.
Therefore, for the changes in the situation in Europe, the Song Empire in the distant Americas could grasp it in time.
While the Church and Protestantism were uniting against the Portuguese-Franco-Ottoman alliance, no one noticed that there had been some small change on the European side.
Among the soldiers of the Divine Alliance, there is a kind of thing that can make people flutter, and the big guys call this kind of thing 'God's call'.
Some white powder, as long as you smoke it through some special small means, or buy a medical injection needle in the Song Empire's concession through some connections, then you can enjoy the beauty brought by this gadget.
Originally. This thing was popular among Protestant allied soldiers.
However, when Protestantism and the church were united, this trend that was popular in the Protestant coalition naturally began to prevail in the church coalition.
By vaping or injecting this white powder. You can enjoy things that you have never enjoyed before, and the strong hallucinations can even make you think that you are God.
Yes, that's what Jenny, the Sectarians who left America for Europe, came up with.
And this white powder, which is popular among the soldiers of the Church and the Protestant coalition, is another time and space that makes people abhor drugs.
Europeans of this era. Where do you know the harm caused by this white powder?
They just knew that after using this white powder, they could enjoy a feeling that they had never enjoyed before. This feeling made them very obsessed. And then I couldn't extricate myself.
It's just that the current epidemic has not done much harm, so after the Protestants and the church were united, they did not find anything wrong.
Even, white powder like this began to slowly become popular in Portugal, France and the Ottoman Empire.
Before they came to Europe, Jenny and the others received a secret order that all the people and armies of all countries, except for the citizens of the Song Empire, should be accustomed to and rely on this white powder.
Portugal and France also had the Ottoman Empire, and although they were allies of the Song Empire, the Song Empire did not spare them.
It is important to know that there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests.
Portugal and France and the Ottoman Empire, don't look at them as allies. But in essence, in fact, these three countries were also stumbling blocks for the Song Empire.
And the reason why the Song Empire gave so much support to Portugal and France was just to use them.
Isn't this clear to the top leaders of Portugal and France?
No!
They know it perfectly.
No one is a fool, and no one is an idiot.
If they are going to deal with the side of the church, then they have to have support.
And the Song Empire also needed chaos in Europe, and the two sides could be said to have taken what they needed from each other.
Once this is over, then the alliance will be dissolved.
When the time comes, maybe everyone will turn around and become the enemy.
Therefore, the popularity of white powder was not avoided just because Portugal and France were allies.
No one knows where the white powder came from, or when it became popular.
This kind of thing, it seems, just so suddenly, and then it started to spread across our European countries.
But anyone who has enjoyed the fluttering taste of white powder immediately likes the feeling.
In order to taste the sensation again, they began to smoke constantly in search of pleasure.
In this way, before you know it, many people are becoming addicted.
What kind of reaction people have after drug addiction, in fact, modern people know the Tao.
That's just unbelievable.
Therefore, Europeans who are addicted to the use of white powder are in such a miserable way when they have a seizure.
To address this pain. They can only find merchants who sell this white powder, hoping to get the white powder from their hands to solve this pain for themselves.
But what is unexpected is that the price of white powder, which was originally very cheap, has increased at this time.
Damn Jewish businessmen, they actually raised the price!
Yes, the merchants who sold white powder on the European continent at this time were all Jews.
The use of them to distribute this commodity was the final decision of the unanimous discussion between the Interception Sect and the Song Empire's higher-ups.
The people of the Song Empire can't come forward, but they can't just find collaborators.
So. The only people who can find collaborators in Europe, and who have the ability to have networks, are the Jews.
In this way, Jews became drug sellers.
What I have to say here is that Jews are really very good at business.
Originally, Jenny and the others hid their identities and found the Jewish elders to talk to their elders about it, and the Jewish elders immediately discovered the value of this white powder.
Jews are sensitive to wealth.
From Jenny's words, they analyzed how much this wealth was, and how much profit it could bring them.
As for the harm that this white powder can bring. They won't think about it.
The Jews cared only about gold and silver coins, and this greed and pursuit of wealth was ingrained in their bones.
White powder can be addictive. It's hard to get rid of the irritation of this white powder. In other words, as long as you have used this white powder, people will become addicted to it.
That's a big deal.
Once a person becomes addicted, they must continue to use this white powder.
And because you can't get rid of it, and when you get addicted, it will be very painful. So they have to continue to use this white powder.
In this way, this white powder can bring them an endless source of wealth.
At the same time, Jewish merchants of this era were part-time loan sharks. Those who have no money for the time being, addicted to it, must borrow money in order to buy white powder.
At that time, you only need to lend them a small amount of money, and you can get a large amount of collateral that exceeds the amount borrowed.
It's definitely a deal.
Immediately, the Jewish Presbyterian Church agreed to cooperate with Jenny.
And the wise Jewish Presbyterians did not ask Jenny about their origins, nor about the origin of the white powder.
They are willing to do distribution, just to earn their own share of benefits, and intend to cooperate with Jenny for a long time.
Of course, Jenny's price is not very high, after all, the cost of this white powder is not high at all.
Because this is a drug 'ice' that is chemically synthesized.
When the Presbyterian Church of the Jews got their hands on the goods, they gathered the great Jewish merchants from all over the country and distributed them.
The Presbyterians have only one request, and that is that this commodity should be free for people to try in the short term.
It is evident from this how shrewd the Jews were.
Addiction is free before and also helps to promote good expansion.
When people become addicted, the Jewish merchants who are responsible for the sale will raise the price by as much as 50 or even 100 times the cost.
Therefore, even if it is free before addiction, they can recover the cost in one go.
And people are very painful after becoming addicted, and if they can't bear the torture, they have to comply with the high price.
It was because of this that all the Jewish merchants made a lot of money, and the profit from this sale was much greater than that of their usury.
At the same time, combined with the business of usury, the economy of Europe began to stagnate and even collapse...... Of course, it takes a long time to do this, but it's already showing signs of it, isn't it...... (To be continued......)
