Hua Houwei's eyes suddenly widened: "Perfume!" A fragrance that far surpasses what is available in the city of Rome! Citrus scent, woody scent, oriental scent, floral scent, plain orchid scent, Fuqi scent, fruity scent, light fragrance, you name it! Augustine, since the Ming Empire and the Holy Roman Empire have in-laws, then the black tea that can prolong life, as well as perfume, is the dowry granted by the Ming Empire to the Holy Roman Empire! I will not charge money for the first batch of black tea, except for the formula of special perfumes, the perfume formula and the machinery for making perfume can be used as a dowry! ”

Perfumers have already appeared in Italy, but that is only part of the extravagance of aristocratic families, and a large-scale perfume industry has not yet appeared. Hua Houwei doesn't know when the perfume appeared, but it's useless to keep this kind of thing in his hand, it's better to change a European fiefdom! Besides, Europe seems to have a great demand for this thing, so why don't you make money by putting it away?

Jiang Mian is still a little pity that perfume is such a good industry, he smacked his lips: "Lord, this perfume is worth a thousand gold!" ”

"Well, if it weren't worth a thousand dollars, how would I pick it as a dowry? You have to be a little sincere! ”

Jiang Mian???????????????? Before he could say more, Augustine immediately seized the opportunity: "Okay! Good! The perfume is good! Your sincerity will surely win the heart of Princess Silord! Hehe, I'm personally optimistic about this relationship! ”

Jiang Mian said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Prime Minister, this marriage is still inconclusive, please pay attention to the accuracy of your words!" ”

Augustine laughed shamelessly: "No, no! Dear Lord Jiang Mian, with the initiative of His Majesty the Holy Roman Empire and the approval of His Excellency the Prince, this marriage that transcends regions and nationalities will definitely be blessed by God! Haha, anyway, I am personally extremely optimistic, and I believe that the same is true of His Majesty Maximian Lianlian! Well, well, today is just the first contact between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ming Empire, and I need to return to Austria right away to bring good news to Your Majesty! ”

After sending away Augustine, who was like an arrow, Jiang Mian asked Hua Houwei dissatisfiedly: "Lord Wang, you have a humble temper, you can't figure out something, and you want to ask the prince to solve your doubts!" ”

Hua Hou Wei laughed and patted Jiang Mian on the shoulder: "You know what you want, go!" Go back and say! ”

Back at the Governor's Palace, Hua Houwei smiled and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Mian with his own hands: "Old Jiang, come, drink tea!" ”

"Lord Wang, Xia Guan is really like a fish in his throat, ask the prince to solve his doubts!"

"Well, that's easy to say! Lao Jiang, perfume is no better than cement, and it is not of great benefit to the country and the people, but it will only promote extravagance! In fact, this thing is a luxury, and it has nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people! ”

"That's better than giving it to a beautiful woman's father, isn't it? Holding it in your own hands, isn't it still possible to earn their money? ”

"Hehe, Lao Jiang, perfume is not a high-tech thing, we can do it to others! While you can still sell it for two bucks, hurry up! Unbelief? Shanqing, didn't you just say, who is here? It's all out of the finished product! ”

Zhu Shanqing hurriedly said: "Lord Jiang, last year, the Dominican Monastery in Florence established a perfume workshop, and the Medici family was the first customer to enjoy it!" ”

Jiang Mian asked in surprise: "Father-in-law Zhu, the intelligence of the Inspection Department of the Mining Investigation Bureau in Europe has reached such a point?" ”

Hua Houwei laughed and waved his hand. Zhu Shanqing bowed slightly towards Hua Houwei, smiled at Jiang Mian again, and turned to go out.

"Lao Jiang, perfume is not important, we can't grasp everything in our hands. Well, it's still worth it to change a fief! ”

Jiang Mian admired: "The prince is far-sighted, and the officials admire!" What makes Xia Guan even more admired is that the prince can put up with European women! A woman like this who is as saltless as this, the lower officials will never dare to do it! I'm afraid of nightmares at night! ”

Hua Houwei was stunned, and then laughed: "Yes!" Be! Old Jiang knows me! Alas, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and for the Yongchang of our Han family, this sacrifice is nothing! I am worried, but I don't know what I want! Life is really lonely like snow! ”

Augustine returned to the Eagle Castle (Habsburg) in Austria as fast as he could, eagerly meeting Maximilian I.

"My dear friend, my Augustine, your face doesn't look a good thing, huh? Could it be that the Ming Empire has no will to make friends with us? ”

"Nope! I brought back good news! Dear Caesar of Rome, the prince of the Ming Empire has agreed in principle to marry you carefully???????????????? Hepatic cilode. However, it can only be a second wife, and there must be a European fief as a dowry! Augustine spoke triumphantly, but he didn't see Maximilian's face getting darker and darker, and the angle of his thick mustache getting bigger and bigger!

"Oh, why did that young man from the Ming Empire dare to ask for this? Could it be that you have accepted some bribe? ”

Looking at Maximilian's falcon-like eyes, Augustine was not afraid, but took out a crystal bottle that was crystal clear and filled with azure liquid like the sky: "Hehe, this is the bribe I accepted, Blue Enchantress!" It is also one of the dowry gifts given to you by the prince of the Ming Empire! After saying that, he opened the cork, and a vague fragrance seduces Maximilian's nose!

"You! How dare you, hehe, do things so successfully? Take it, I'm going to taste it! Well! Blue Enchantress? Good name! Good perfume! Is it a finished product or a formula? Maximilian turned his anger into joy, and immediately snatched the perfume bottle from Augustine's hand, sniffing intoxicated.

Augustine laughed, his memory was really good, and he actually repeated Hua Houwei's words word for word: "A perfume that far surpasses the existing products of the city of Rome!" Citrus scent, woody scent, oriental scent, floral scent, plain orchid scent, Fuqi scent, fruity scent, light fragrance, you name it! In addition to the formulation of special perfumes, perfume formulations and the machinery used to make perfumes can be used as a dowry! There is also black tea that can prolong life, especially the first batch he won't take money! ”

A greedy look flashed in Maximilian's eyes, and he asked with ill will: "How is the strength of the Ming Empire?" ”

Augustine was startled, and waved his hand again and again in a panic: "No! No! There is news that the allied forces of Spain and the Holy See were completely annihilated by the army of the Ming Empire in just one hour! Moreover, there are two cities with a population of more than one million in Daming, more than a dozen cities with more than 500,000 people, hundreds of cities with more than 100,000 people, and countless cities with more than 10,000 people! ”

"Ridiculous! Augustine, would you believe such a lie? "Maximilian doesn't believe a word, such a terrifying strength, if he had it, would have set foot on Europe a long time ago!

Augustine shook his head and handed Maximilian a book: "This is a book written by a Venetian who has been to China. Take a good look, his name is Marco Polo! ”

"Marco Polo's Travels? Oh my God, he was a man of the thirteenth century! God, is everything you saying true? The suspicious Maximilian looked at the author's introduction, flipped a few pages casually, and exclaimed!

"Yes, this book estimates that the princes of the Ming Empire don't even know about its existence! On the way to Sardinia, I had actually read it three times! If what is said in the book is true, then the princes of the Ming Empire are still hiding their strength! Augustine looked at Maximilian worriedly, and there was always an indescribable ominous back and forth haunting in his heart!

"Haha! Leave that alone! Since this is a very good deal, which piece of land do you think is worthy of my Ming son-in-law? Maximilian skipped Augustine's worries and began to wonder which place was just right, without losing his identity and without hurting.

Augustine gave up his vigilance, and following Maximilian's train of thought, he suggested softly: "Your Majesty, this time we will get it from Venice???????????????? to quite a bit of land. It is very difficult to collect taxes in those places, and the key is that there is no inheritance. Uh, Silord's mother doesn't have an inheritance to inherit, isn't it..."

"Good! Very good! There is nothing to scruple between you and me! Haha, Augustine, I grew up watching you, and the friendship between our two families will last forever! Well, then Padua in Lombardy, where is worthy of my little liver Silord! ”

"So, Your Majesty, will you go to Sardinia in person?"

Maximilian shook his head and said with a smile: "No! I want to send some young people over, young people are always easier to communicate with than old people like me. Of course, you are still in charge, and I authorize you! Just do what you agreed before! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Silord is my favorite daughter, she is more delicate than flowers, and I am worried about her future life in Daming! If that teenager can capture her heart, love will help her adapt to a strange country! Alas, as a father, I am truly ashamed of my little Silord! The tall and burly Maximilian looked up to the sky with tears in his eyes. That beautiful woman, your daughter is about to get married, do you see?

A splendid Galen ship quietly arrived in Sardinia, and a flock of warblers and swallows chirped off the ship. Augustine met Jiang Mian's surprised gaze and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang Mian, this is a young man from the Habs family, and he wants to see Sardinia. The Ming Empire won't be unwelcome, right? ”

Jiang Mian laughed: "Welcome, welcome, of course welcome!" Well, I will arrange for the prince to hunt and play with them in a while, Mr. Prime Minister, do you think it is appropriate? ”

"Yes, of course it's right!" Augustine looked at Jiang Mian, and the two burst into hearty laughter at the same time!

Hua Houwei in the Governor's Mansion suddenly felt an itchy nose, sneezed a few times, and looked out suspiciously: "Who is planning to calculate me?" Hehe, Shanqing! Check it out! ”

When the slim girl with bright eyes and a slightly melancholy temperament, Maximilian's illegitimate daughter Sirod, appeared in front of Hua Houwei, she amazed the time!

"Selena Gomez!" Hua Houwei screamed obsessively!
