Whether it was a merchant who took advantage of the king's presence to do business, or a knight who went to a jousting tournament, the time to return to Brad's territory was earlier than expected.

It turned out that the day before His Majesty entered Turnest, a nobleman named Alberta, who was the brother of Count Al, led a group of men, posing as an envoy of His Majesty, and drove ten ships from the docks by night, ready to do some lawless business, most likely to the northerners, or possibly to the Karamans.

When he heard of this, he took it upon himself to take charge of the ships that were waiting to be reviewed, and when he heard of this, he took it upon himself to take all the ships in pursuit, fearing that he would be punished by the king.

Unfortunately, there was a storm at sea that night, and how could the newly converted sailors, the ships that had taken only a year to build, compete with the might of nature?

The navy built by the entire kingdom at great cost of money and manpower was sacrificed to the god of the sea, bringing no benefit to the kingdom at all.

I heard that His Majesty the King did not say a word when he heard the news.

Eventually, he left the place where he had been hit hard by his retinue, without stepping into Turneste.

The merchants were depressed and put away the green pine branches that had adorned the shops and cities to welcome the king, the goods that had been intended to be sold to the nobles of the court were lost to their intended customers, and the knights, who wanted to gain a glorious reputation and rich booty in the tournament, were disappointed.

But compared to those who died at the bottom of the sea, they were still very lucky.

It was a sad thing that Brad's territory had lost eighteen able-bodied adult men.

A few days ago, they were talking about how they might be appreciated by the king and rise to prominence, but now they have become the ghosts of the seabed.

At the Baroness's expense, the priest Shepp made a sacrifice to these men.

This seems to have ended with the matter, and as it seemed to be providential, no one mentioned the rebuilding of the navy again, but the real impact of the incident was not gradually known until a few years later.

After some days, when old Jacob came back, he brought Luo Yi a bad news, and Job, a businessman with the right to buy bluegrass, insisted on continuing to cooperate with old customers who had cooperated for many years, and had no interest in the "onion worship" that gave a preferential price.

This news made Luo Yi very disappointed.

She knows the profits of the dye industry – in the American South, indigo is a cash crop that is grown on a large scale, along with sugar cane and cotton.

Alum for the color of the cloth was once unkempt in the whole of Europe, and it was necessary to buy it from the Arabs at a high price, and even if it was at a high price, these people were not willing to let the infidels buy goods every time, and if they were unlucky, they would have to waste their money on a pious and powerful monarch.

Later, an alum mine was discovered in Europe, and the owner of the mine received 100,000 gold coins a year from the mine to supply the Crusaders, the same amount that the Pope supplied to the Crusaders.

It can be seen how huge the profits in the dye industry are.

Before the 15th century, Europe didn't know how to dye cloth with indigo – they used woad.

Indigo was used by Europeans in prehistoric times to smear their skin, but if you want to dye the cloth, you have to try to restore it to indigo. The method of reduction was not mastered by the Europeans until the 15th century, after which indigo replaced woad.

Luo Yi knew that the interests involved in this were huge, so Luo Yi didn't mention it before, and only after she picked up a boatload of onion worshippers did she think about this way of making money.

Previously, when she was selling paper, she chose Jacob Sr. as a dealer, and she also took a fancy to him as a pagan merchant from Turnest.

Old Jacob, for the sake of his own profit, would certainly conceal the origin of the paper, and he was a pagan merchant in the foreign trade city of Tournest, and the products distributed by a pagan merchant in a foreign trade city could easily lead people to believe that they were imported from abroad, and not bother to inquire about the real origin.

Luo Yi crossed the world before the world, many domestic things, all have a bells and whistles foreign name, ask blonde and blue-eyed foreigners to advertise, but also bluff a lot of people, it is obvious that when the melamine inspection, many parents found that what they fed their children was not foreign milk powder, but domestic milk powder that was disguised. There is also a famous case

, which is the so-called Da Vinci furniture of Italian origin......

Since so many businesses use this kind of trick, and there are still many big guys in the modern era of developed information, Luo Yi has no reason not to follow suit.

This is also one of the reasons why she knew that old Jacob would take most of the profits, and still asked him to cooperate.

However, it is the same clan of old Jacob who deals in bluegrass and indigo, and has been in business for many years, and it is easy to leak the true origin without looking for another strange country as a pretext.

However, what she did not anticipate after such calculations was that this fellow was not as devout to capital as old Jacob, and he did not react to the concessions.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Yi also understood that doing business with an unfriendly pagan country must be buying some unique luxury goods, and it is begging the other party to sell, and it must be handed over to the other party a very generous amount of money to buy the road.

It is more likely that this kind of business is prepaid by the other party.

If you offend the other party, I am afraid that the capital will not be guaranteed.

"If only this certificate were mine!" Luo Yi can only think like this in her heart, because if she makes a move, it will be too conspicuous......

This financial road can only be put down temporarily.
