Ikolama trembled, and finally couldn't control the fear in his heart, and sat down on the ground.

Mansgard grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Archbishop, what do you see?" ”

"Devil! Devil's weapon! Hell! Oh my God, he's Lucifer! Mansgerd suspiciously snatched the telescope from Ikolama's hand and looked into the distance, and in an instant his body froze!

Mansgerd was the vice-head of the Order of the Holy See and was a battle-hardened veteran. Among the papal seekers present, except for Julius, who knew the most about warfare, he was the second.

Crumbling, Mansgerd's arms hung down, and his heart was like ashes! The devil may not be the devil, but the battle damage against such an army is unimaginable!

His Majesty is right, the prince of the Ming Empire with such strength can indeed make the whole of Europe prostrate at his feet!

Julius slowly walked back to his seat, sat down, and grabbed his teacup in distraction.

Then he laughed, "Well, I'm interested in your proposal. Your Excellency, revisit the situation in Europe? Hua Houwei was very gentlemanly and refilled the tea for Julius: "Of course you can!" I have always considered the Holy See to be a great organization, the best institution to lead Europe into the industrialization of agriculture. Why did the Roman Empire last for a thousand years? Isn't the Holy See playing a major role? "Hua Houwei shamelessly confuses the Roman Empire with the Eastern Roman Empire, but Julius likes to hear this!

This old man has always been obsessed with restoring the supreme glory of the Holy See, and has been using all kinds of means to the extreme, and it is easy to reluctantly restore part of the direct authority of the Pope.

Hua Houwei's statement was exactly what he liked, and he was very satisfied.

"Hehe, thank you for the importance that the prince attaches to the Holy See. So the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards Europe is to take the Holy See as the mainstay? ”

"That's right! That's what it means! Although Europe is now divided and there are many small countries, there is always hope. Well, the Ming can join hands with the Holy See and use various means, such as economic and military, to bathe Europe in the Lord's light again! "At this point, the interests of Huahouwei and Julius are the same, and of course there will be no differences!

The atmosphere of the meeting gradually became relaxed, and the two sides talked happily, and Julius took the telescope handed back by Ikolama and asked shamelessly: "Can this be given to me, a poor old man who is almost blind?" Huahou Wei hesitated slightly, and sighed: "You are embarrassed for me!" This is one of the several items that Daming will never allow to be exported. Well, let me think, let me think. Julius said unhappily: "Do you still need money from an old man like me?" ”

"Not really! The point is that it's easy to copy, well, okay. My dear crown, do you think the sun revolves around the earth, or does the earth revolve around the sun? Julius smiled and said proudly, "Of course it is where the Lord's light shines, and the earth is surrounded by the sun!" Could there be any other answer to this? Huahou Wei smiled sheepishly: "No! Come, I'll whisper to you! Julius approached Hua Houwei suspiciously, and Hua Houwei began to bite his ear with Julius: "To tell the truth, it is the earth that revolves around the sun. This telescope magnification can be observed by enlarging it a little more. Really, as long as the multiples are adjusted, the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune can all be seen. Julius' eyes widened, and he threw the telescope far away as if it were some terrible viper.

Hua Houwei grabbed Julius, who was about to shout: "Don't scream!" Do you want everyone to question the existence of the Lord? Julius immediately shut up, and even covered his mouth with his hand in horror.

Hua Houwei said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, there is a way!" Only then did Julius let go of his mouth and whispered, "What way?" After the advent of the telescope, it is impossible to stop its progress and spread! ”

"Simple! Just issue a decree and enforce it strictly! Hua Houwei took the opportunity to throw out his long-planned plan.

"What decree?"

"Patent Law! No one is allowed to produce imitations without the authorization of the inventor, or to research and improve the original articles! If the amount is particularly huge, it can be sentenced to hanging, or even burning at the stake! What do you think? Hua Houwei's heart is in his throat, this is a vital part, related to the success or failure of the Ming trade, related to the development of Europe, and even directly affect the changes in the world situation!

"It's as simple as that? Will this curb the greed of those people? "Why is Julius so unbelieving?

He stared at Hua Houwei with bull's eyes, suspecting that this hypocritical guy was digging a huge pit.

Of course, digging a pit is for sure. It's just that the direction is the opposite, which is conducive to the rule of the Holy See, and is completely in the interests of Pope Julius.

Hua Houwei began to explain in detail: "Of course! Think about it, when Daming's telescopes are of good quality and low price, who will be full and have nothing to do? Especially when faced with the terrible gallows! Julius felt that it made sense, but he still asked uneasily: "What about those who are idle and have nothing to do and want to continue their research?" ”

"Then it's up to you! With strict punishment and high reports, I don't believe that anyone dares to offend the dignity of the Holy See and continue to invest a lot of money in the bottomless pit! Hua Houwei immediately changed his face, and the coldness in his heart was clear at a glance.

"That's just as well! Well, this way you can. However, why did Da Ming study these forbidden things? Julius finally came to his senses and tilted his head to look at Hua Houwei.

Hua Houwei smiled, opened his sleeve, and revealed a watch: "Is it convenient?" Julius nodded: "It's very convenient." Then he was furious: "You actually deceived a kind old man? Why didn't you give me such a good thing? Hua Houwei hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Be quiet!" It's so expensive, I've got just one for you! Shhhh When you're gone, you understand? Julius was satisfied, and opened Hua Houwei's hand in disgust: "Have you washed your hands?" Why does it smell like an onion? Well, we're on the same page! Patent law must be implemented, and an indestructible patent must be established in Europe, is it called a patent? Oh, the patent line of defense! The Holy See will do whatever it takes to do this! Hey? Isn't that right? Our Holy See has protected the interests of your Ming Empire, but you have not paid anything? It's not fair! Hua Houwei looked at Julius helplessly and shook his head: "Okay, not to mention how much effort our Ming Dynasty has made to maintain the Holy See, just handing over all European trade to the Holy See will bring great benefits to the Holy See?" Well, in this way, the goods that I provide to the Holy See can be subject to MFN status. ”

"Well, MFN? What is that? ”

"To put it simply, the price is the lowest and the service is the best."

"How low?"

"Seventy out of eight! The wholesale price is simply a tearful sale! ”

"No, no, no, the Holy See is already poor, and it is no longer the Holy See it used to be. Drop a little more! ”

"Well, for the sake of our friendship, eighty out of six!"

"Alas, dear Zhu, you see, I am already an old man in his last years, and I have spent all my life savings for this position. Don't you have pity on this lonely old man? Hua Houwei gritted his teeth and said: "Eighty out of five is five!" Couldn't go any lower! Don't be greedy, old man? That's already my bottom line! Julius looked at Hua Houwei's determined eyes and smacked his lips regretfully.

It seems that there is no more to pick out! Just wanted to say that he was barely acceptable, but someone outside hurriedly came in and whispered a few words to Zhu Shanqing.

Zhu Shanqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at the people of the Holy See with a little cold eyes. Then he walked quickly to Hua Houwei and whispered a few words, then turned around and left.

Hua Houwei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, are you not a Jianghu?" Julius was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"The Swiss Guards of Zaragoza have left the city of Real to fight the family guards of the Marquis de Medina! Old man, isn't this authentic? Julius blushed rarely, and he squeezed out an embarrassed smile: "Uh, this, hehe, he's like this." Well, Ikorama, explain it to our closest allies of the Holy See! Hua Houwei stretched out his hand to stop the stunned Ikorama: "Don't! You don't say it, I know it! But, hehe, the price just agreed on is going to go up! Don't worry, I'm not as unauthentic as you, just go back to eighty out of six. Julius stared at Ikolama bitterly: "You! How can there be a fool like you in the Holy See? Do you know how much that 0.05 is per year? Ikorama, that could be more than a hundred thousand indulgences! Ikorama couldn't stay reserved anymore, and threw himself at Hua Houwei's feet, holding his leather boots: "No! My God! The Volks' income in a hundred years will not reach this amount! Forgive my sluggishness, merciful Prince, and accept my belated perfect explanation! Please! Hua Houwei shook his head and looked at Ikorama with pity: "I'm sorry, God once gave you the best opportunity, but it's a pity that you didn't grasp it!" Drag him away, old man, his appearance makes me a little sad! Alas, I'm always so soft-hearted, and I'm always easy to be moved! "Mansgerd is a pure martial artist, and the concept of money is not so clear.

After Julius waved his hand, he stepped forward and forcibly dragged away Ikorama, who was still crying, and actually comforted Ikorama, who was already in pain: "Archbishop, compared to the dignity of the cardinal archbishop, I think the latter is more important!" ”

"! What do you know stupidly? Let me go! Ikorama, who was already red-eyed, struggled desperately.
