Chapter 375: How Many Thalers?!

"One hundred thousand thalers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as the little Bazin spoke, he explained the attitude of the Kingdom of Spain towards this treasure.

"General Bazin, I am willing to offer you a line of credit of thirty thousand thalers as a sign of my respect for the great kingdom of Spain." After he finished shouting, Wu Xin said.

"Hmm." Little Bazin is still quite satisfied, of course, he will not say thank you, Wu Xin does not send the owl feathers to Madrid respectfully, which means that the respect is still not enough.

Unlike the concealment of "owl feathers", Wu Xin conveyed all the information about this thing to the Spanish side very clearly.

This is not just a gemstone, but appeared in history 2,000 years ago, before it was called a seal, there were a lot of legends, and then it became a symbol of imperial power, even the damage on it is an important witness to history, and its value is completely undamaged.

If it can be sent to Beijing, it will give the Bright Empire great legitimacy and is considered to be the destiny of heaven.

Little Bazin didn't understand this very well, but Archmage Fugger personally recognized the value of this thing, and Wu Xin paid a lot of money and gave him a promotional material that was certified from Alpha with three hundred fate points.

So Bazin Jr. got 150,000 tales, and Spain was determined to get it.

Porcelain, tea, and silk were just too powerful before the industrial age.

Of course, it's better to grab.

If you can't grab it, buy it.

After establishing that the Empire of Light was different from the Aztec Empire, and that it was not a tribe that could be conquered by a few thousand people, Spain had wanted to trade with this country rich in Europa and was desperate for goods, but it had been denied entry.

It's not that it's completely unavailable, it's that it's not enough.

The Spaniards had a lot of gold and silver, but these things were too expensive.

The Spaniards could not find large-scale state-level suppliers and had to buy from scattered merchants.

These businessmen are basically the white gloves of the coastal tycoons and bureaucrats, accustomed to making profits through monopolies, and have no incentive to expand supply and gain markets.

Their usual trailblazers, the missionaries had great difficulty here.

The Empire of Light does not worship the kind of bloodthirsty beast god, nor is it a false god who bluffs ghosts, although the Yanhuang Dragon is not as good as the Dark Sun in terms of expansion ability, but it is still possible to defend its territory.

There has been no response to go directly to the upper route, and it is too difficult to hook up powerful characters.

On the one hand, there was a cultural divide, and on the other hand, Spain lacked competent manpower in Asia.

The few officers sent by Spain had killed a lot of natives, and they didn't know how to open the joints by any means other than the sword.

The administrators of this empire were dealing with the affairs of a country with a larger population than all the great powers of Europa combined, and once things had become a common practice and were in their interests, it would be difficult to change them.

Even the son of the Yanhuang Dragon, the Great Emperor of Light, could not resist this power.

A few people of insight are also skeptical about the value of trade, fearing that too much labor invested in tea and silk will hinder the cultivation of food, which is not wrong.

Attempts to establish a trading base near the coast were also a complete failure, and the empire had problems of one kind or another, but it still had a strong central power.

Trying to bribe a small chieftain and occupy a foothold with a small profit, as in the New World, is completely unworkable here.

The Spanish side has been helpless about the situation.

Until recently, the situation changed, and the Tripoli careerist sent something enough to delight the dragon, the emperor, and the bureaucracy.

Archmage Fugger agreed with Wu Xin's judgment, 'This thing is a priceless treasure to the Empire of Light, and its value to the followers of the Yanhuang Dragon is like the shroud of the First Apostle or the wine cup of the First Apostle's last meal. ’

The Spanish side generally believes that sending this large stamp back to Beijing is very likely to allow Spain to knock on the door of the Bright Empire, which has been closed.

Once the official opens an opening, you can get stable and high-quality products at a reasonable price.

Bazin Jr. had never been to the East, but he did know that even if he robbed directly from the Aztecs, the monetary benefit would be similar to bringing goods back to Europa from the East.

In addition, the spices produced on those small islands in the low latitudes of the South China Sea are also extremely attractive.

Therefore, despite the great profits in the New World, Spain has never completely given up its interests in the East, and its main competitor is Portugal, which is also a great seafaring power.

The complete annexation of Portugal had always been an enticing idea for Spain, given the seafaring power's very small territory and the absence of any territory outside of Spain.

But the country has a lot of strong fortresses, and France and England will certainly interfere as well.

However, the most important thing is that Portugal has an ocean-going fleet second only to Spain, and it may not be able to defeat the Spaniards on the oceans and the Portuguese Ottomans in the Mediterranean, but this fleet with more than twenty Karak sailing ships is a weight that can affect the scales.

The Portuguese maintained numerous forts for a long time and kept a guarded fleet on their homeland, so their economic situation should be half that of Spain, which was surrounded by enemies.

These two maritime empires have seized countless amounts of money, but in order to repel pretenders and grab more, neither of them is very financially well-off.

However, given the difference in size between the two sides, Spain is certainly still a little more generous than Portugal.

Little Bazin is confident in this, and for this treasure that can open the door to the Empire of Light, the Spanish side has searched a lot.

The Emperor also contributed several strange objects that were not used very frequently, and in the end, they collected a very sufficient fund, a full 150,000 thalers!

"One hundred and fifteen thousand thalers!"

Of course, Portugal, as the master of the Indian Ocean trade and the first controller of spices in the South Seas, is still a little stronger.

Otherwise, little Bazin would have gone straight to Lisbon, but it's okay, the great Spanish kingdom can control it.

Queen Juana has always been unreliable and cannot save money, although she has a lot of income, but she can't give other money except for the gift just now.

Fortunately, the Duke of Tripoli is quite interesting.

Wu Xin had just expressed his willingness to give him a credit line of 30,000 thalers, that is, he could buy this treasure at a price of 30,000 lower than the Portuguese.

That is, the Portuguese side has to bid more than 180,000, which is obviously impossible, and Portugal's treasury will have some reserves, but this figure is used, and it is not safe to hate.

The large cash reserves were also an important means for Portugal to defend Spain, and it was necessary to keep a sum of money to quickly recruit mercenaries, which Spain did not need to do.

Wu Xin's 30,000 yuan was actually just "borrowed", and theoretically this money was also to be given, but Little Bazin automatically counted it like this, which is also the Spaniards' consistent way of settling accounts with allies other than Austria.

Wu Xin felt a little familiar with this, as if the Mi Emperor of later generations was also this routine, and the world empires seemed to act like this?

Buy this royal seal first, and then send it to Beijing as soon as possible, and you should be able to obtain the power to open the port.

Although Quanzhou, once the world's largest port, seems to have declined, Ningbo and Hangzhou still have huge ports that are not inferior to Seville.

It is said that there is a river called the Great River, which is wide and deep, and the sea boats can enter, and after a few days of going up the river, you can see a city.

The city of Nanking, which is said to be larger than Seville combined, is no less than Constantinople in its most glorious years, and its walls are built along the hill to make Madrid's fortress look like a small stronghold.

Little Bazin was not very convinced of this, although Spanish navigators and merchants were not as fond of nonsense as those ancient explorers and travelers, but could there really be such a big city?

If you don't see it with your own eyes, little Bazin won't believe it.

However, Bazin Jr. believed that he had a chance to meet him, after all, he was in the service of the Spanish Navy, the overlord of the four seas.

Little Bazin has now adjusted his mentality, and although the French bought that key transformation skill, things are not desperate.

An empire like Spain has a certain level of preparation for anything, and it also has a certain ability to counter the enemy who flies.

What's more, France and the Ottomans are not the same thing after all, and there will be problems with the coordination between them.

We can do it, Spain can rule the world!

"One hundred thousand thalers!"

The Portuguese would surely have raised the price once or twice more, but they would be able to afford at most 150,000 thalers, as Archmage Fugger had carefully calculated.

"One hundred and twenty thousand thalers!"

"One hundred and thirty thousand thalers!"

The Portuguese are still resisting in vain.

Little Bazin thought for a moment, and felt that it was time to finish, after all, the owl feathers that had just been bought by the French had already damaged Spain's face a little, and the Portuguese had to be slapped in the face to get the field back.

"One hundred and fifty thousand thalers!"

Little Bazin felt that this should be almost the limit of the other party, and the other party had at most sixteen or seventy thousand talers, and his own momentum should make the other party give up now.

There is no need to let Wu Xin get the highest price.

In this way, with 120,000 thalers, I bought this royal seal, which is still good.

With more than 30,000 thalers left, Bazin Jr. decided to hire a few strong men, and if the Earl of Cherbourg did not flee immediately, he would have to be with Hu Zhao...............

"Two hundred thousand thalers!"

Just as little Bazin was being ruthless, he suddenly heard another number, an unscientific number.

"What?! How many thalers?! (To be continued.) )
