Invincible urban management

81. Tiger's mouth grabs food

At the same time, the travelers who set up tents and camped in the square were also looking at some photos of Cortez and Marina that they had just taken secretly through a laptop, and exchanged opinions with each other in whispers. .

As one of the two great conquerors of America, a national legendary hero in Spanish history, and an outstanding representative of early European adventurers in the Age of Discovery, although Wang Qiu never imagined the real Hernan Cortez as He was as handsome and handsome as a romantic knight in medieval epics, but he also felt that this guy should at least be a handsome middle-aged uncle.

However, after the actual meeting today, Wang Qiucai found out that his appearance is really not that good - this year's Hernan Cortez should be 30 years old according to historical records, but his face looks as old as a 50-year-old person in later generations , not only is his face covered with ravines and wrinkles, but he also has a bushy beard on his chin, his hair is even more disheveled like a bird's nest, and his dirty clothes are full of various stains, especially between the trouser legs. There is actually a puddle of suspicious light yellow traces... In short, it does not meet the standards of handsome men of modern people.

The most terrible thing is that according to Wang Qiu's visual inspection, the dirt accumulated on his skin is at least half an inch thick, and he can smell the stench all over his body from a long distance-this era is not far from the last outbreak of the Black Death in Europe. Far away, the ignorant Catholic Church also weirdly believed that water weakened the resistance, which caused "evil spirits" to invade the skin and cause the Black Death...so it advocated that all Christians should not bathe for life.

As a devout Catholic, the Spaniard Cortés naturally strictly abided by the above teachings. He never took a bath even on the hot tropical beaches of Central America all year round. During the arduous expedition, he naturally I don’t even have the condition to spray perfume... As a result, I turned myself into a small moving garbage dump, with so many lice and fleas that I could play Harvest Moon!In short, at first glance, this famous American conqueror is simply much dirtier than those tramps sleeping in bridge holes in modern cities!

Also disappointing the traversers was Cortez's famous mistress Marina, who appeared frequently in the Spanish conquest epic and led Cortez's expedition team into the Valley of Mexico. The Aztec girl who completely destroyed her motherland was described by later Mexican history books as comparable to Xi Shi in ancient China.

However, under the pyramids in Cholula City, Wang Qiu only saw a slightly chubby young Indian woman. As usual, her face was painted with colorful patterns, and her facial features were only ordinary and correct, except for her fairer skin. Other than that, everything else looks pretty mediocre.

"...I've said it a long time ago, don't think of this woman as a beautiful woman like Xi Shi and Concubine Yang! Even in the history books of the Spanish, it seems that she has never been mentioned as a beautiful woman, and it is generally said that she is very smart. And clever, knowing several languages."

Professor Yang curled his lips while wiping his presbyopic glasses, and said sarcastically to the disappointed Wang Qiu, "...If Marina is really a stunning beauty, Cortez has just returned from Maya. When he snatched her from someone, how could he give Marina to a subordinate as a mistress without hesitation? Until he found that Marina knew Spanish, Mayan and Mexican Navajo at the same time. What's more, the beauty of the ancients is very different from that of our modern people. Even the beauties in ancient China might become dinosaurs in modern times. ..."

"...Well, what you say makes sense, Professor!"

Wang Qiu recalled the terrifying looks of the concubines of Emperor Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty in the old photos he saw in history textbooks, and he immediately felt the same.

"...These gossips will come to an end for now, let's talk about the business first!"

As soon as he entered the city, he was stunned by the scene of the bloody massacre, and Cai Rong, who didn't wake up until the negotiation was over, knocked on the table with some displeasure, "...what did you talk to Cortez just now?" ? Should he follow us to meet Montezuma II?"

"...Hmph! How can it be so simple! We also demand that Cortez and his expedition team hand over all the gold and silver they robbed in Cholula! As a peace with the Great Ming Dynasty A meeting ceremony for dating!"

Cai Rong was stunned for a second by Wang Qiu's seemingly natural answer, and then she covered her mouth in surprise and cried out:

"... Isn't this equivalent to stealing meat from the tiger's mouth? How could those greedy Spaniards agree?"

"...Tiger? Well, these Spanish explorers who claim to be civilized people may indeed be ferocious tigers in front of the ignorant Indians, but in front of us, they are nothing more than barking mangy dogs!"

Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "...There is no reason for our urban management to enforce the law and not confiscate the illegal gains? In short, we have given Cortez a multiple-choice question just now: money or life?! Willing to be obedient Hand over the property, then everything is easy to talk about. But if the Spaniards really want money and life... how they slaughtered the Cholula before, we will slaughter them now!"

"..." Such an urban management-style violent declaration made Cai Rong dizzy for a while, "...this... Although the gold and silver in the hands of the Spaniards are ill-gotten gains, our food can't be so ugly!"

"...My leader, you don't know how expensive you are if you are not in charge of the family! Now is not the time to pay attention to face and demeanor!"

Wang Qiu explained with almost red eyes, "...in order to support this expeditionary force from Port Hope to Cholula City, we spent a full 500 million on food alone! And all this It is pure consumption without any income, and the last bit of profit of the entire space-time trade has been lost! There is even a batch of goods obtained from the manufacturer on credit! The bank is about to be overdrawn! Immediately find some compensation for us, and we will be forced to hang ourselves by the debt collection company!"

"...The seriousness of the problem doesn't stop there!" Professor Yang also added, "...at most one day later, that is, after twenty days in this time and space, the leaders of Beijing will come to inspect. In case After the inspection, the leader asked us to pay the profits and taxes, what should we pay?"

"...to ask us to pay profits and taxes...Oh, our Director, Your Excellency can really do it..."

Captain Cai Rong touched her little head, and let out a painful groan, "...but according to the battle plan we made in advance, Cortez's expedition team still has a lot of value. Fall out, the whole script will have to be overthrown and restarted!"

"...Don't take this too seriously, Ms. Cai Rong! Cortez's expedition team is indeed of some use value for us. But the premise is that he can recognize the facts and is willing to admit us. advantage, at least in a short period of time to be a good dog who understands current affairs! Conversely, if this dog is really too crazy and would rather die than bite us, then in order to avoid the disaster, we have to advance Slaughtered and thrown into the pot!"

Wen Desi, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, also came over and said coldly, "...It's not that we don't have the power to fight against the Aztec Empire alone. The people of Lascala must be happy to change a partner!"
