The march against the supermarket ended successfully, and Alfonso did not show up during the whole process.

That's what he wants, and he still has the idea of building a holy Spain, how to become a businessman.

It ended on December 31, the last day of 1868. It stands to reason that the holiday is over, but many goods are indeed going to break down if they are not sold.

So he opened urgently, discounted it, and lost a few hundred pounds, and Zana's face was like eating a fly.

Alfonso didn't care, he was on the train to Biarritz again.

Originally, Nasi also wanted to invite Alfonso's family to celebrate the New Year together, but it didn't agree, and the two families were not close enough to do this, not to mention that the West French royal family celebrated the New Year together, what do you want to do?

Back in Biarritz, breathing in the fresh air of the town, Alfonso's mood couldn't help but change a lot.

In those days, there were no cars, and horses were all used for transportation and everything, so Paris was perennially shrouded in the smell of excrement.

That is, the Champs-Elysées where he lives is better, after all, there are special people to clean the horses during the day.

When he went to other parts of Paris, he always rode in a carriage and tried not to go to the ground.

Returning to the villa, the queen and her two sisters had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and to her surprise, Isabella's face was gloomy, not at all as happy as she used to be when she saw Alfonso return.

Alfonso stepped forward quickly, gave a warm hug to a few people, and then took Isabella's hand and asked, "Mom, who upset you?" ”

At the same time, he wondered in his heart if the queen's mistresses did not satisfy her?

But the queen shook her head, nodded again, and said with a little anger: "It's not one person who makes me angry, but a group of people who make me angry!"

I wrote to Carlos and a few of his supporters, and they not only rejected me, but also mocked me! ”

Later, in the queen's scolding, Alfonso realized that the queen thought that Carlos was also a Bourbon, and that he should be unanimous in his family when he encountered the crisis of the collapse of the dynasty.

He wrote to them and offered to fund the Queen's restoration, and she would give them some knighthoods, which they were ruthlessly rejected without incident.

What can Alfonso say, he can only sigh that the queen is too naïve, this is the feudal ruler who has been smooth sailing since childhood, just eating, drinking, and having fun, and hooking up with men.

It's true that the other party is a relative, but the Carlos faction is a political group that has been formed for decades, has a strong inertia and clear demands, and you want to buy them when you give them a sum of money?

If it was really so easy to subdue, the previous two Carlos wars would not have been fought.

After thinking about it for a while, Alfonso helped the queen and scolded: "The Carlos faction is a group of traitors, and the group of liberal officers are also traitors, there is no difference, they are all things with wolf hearts and dogs......"

The queen listened to her son help her scold, and her heart gradually became much better.

Alfonso saw that the timing was almost there, and felt that it was time to mention something else to the queen.

After talking to the British and French lottery agencies, he sold the patent for the horse betting lottery to the UK for 250,000 pounds, and now this thing has nothing to do with him.

Of course, it was also agreed that the company would be given priority to be licensed.

No way, the UK is willing to pay up to 15,000 per year, and France is willing to pay up to 10,000, and the patent is valid for 16 years.

The application for the lottery is a series of forms such as cards and paper rolls, because of the lack of innovation and repetition of forms, the application in Pu Austria and Italy and other countries have encountered trouble, requiring more review.

Even if it passes, as long as the other party is willing, they can find a way to bypass this patent.

That is, Britain and France are more open-minded, plus they have money, and they will honestly pay for the use.

Now, with the money from the sale of his watch, Alfonso has £270,000 in cash.

He was ready to ask the queen for some more money and get down to business.

"Mom, it's impossible to expect Carlos to send a change of heart and Prim's group to mend their ways, we have to have our own forces."

Isabella's expression froze, why didn't she understand this truth?

"But the existing conservatives are all wise and self-protective, and the ones who supported us have been destroyed in the previous rebellion, is it just these 200 guards?"

Alfonso was intimidating: "Support can be earned, we have money, as long as we have nostalgia for the Bourbons, they are our potential supporters." ”

"......" The queen was a little difficult to speak, she was afraid of hitting her son, but she wanted to say: "The people who like Bourbon will probably stand up and die." ”

Alfonso didn't know what the queen was thinking, and if he did, he would have retorted in a low voice: "There are still many who like Bourbon, but there are very few who like Isabella." ”

He continued: "Mom, do you know the person Campos? ”

Isabella's expression was a little gloomy when she heard this name: "Of course I know, I agreed to him to be the governor of Catalonia at the beginning, and we had a good relationship."

But once he refused my "invitation", and he was dissatisfied with the political situation, we drifted apart, and I wrote to him during the rebellion, but he only remained neutral. ”

Alfonso mentions this man because it was he who staged a coup d'état that overthrew the Spanish Republic and restored Alfonso XII.

After coming to this era, he also got to know and inquired about this person in many ways.

It is clear that Campos was a conservative soldier who was quite supportive of the Bourbons, otherwise he would not have welcomed back Alfonso.

It was Isabella who was too straw and made him disheartened.

Isabella's letter is useless, but she may be able to shake her body and bow her head to Camposna.

If you can hold Catalonia as a basic plate, and train the more than 20,000 people in Campos' hands, you can advance and retreat freely.

"Can you still contact him now?"

The queen thought about it carefully and felt that Campos was indeed a good breakthrough, with soldiers, money and territory, and did not join any political group in Spain.

Let your son try, no matter how bad it is, it won't be so bad, so he said: "Yes, the conservatives don't want to help us fight, but it's okay to pass on the news." ”

"Then let someone invite his representative to Biarritz, and I will talk to him, and if I can, I will go to Catalonia and meet him later."

In this situation, the governor could not run around casually, and Alfonso had to find time to go to Catalonia on his own.

He wasn't too afraid of encountering traps, and his body was strengthening much faster than he expected.

Of course, he would still die if he was hit by a bullet, but with his current skills and eyesight and hearing, such a chance was almost non-existent, after all, there was no sniper rifle yet.
