Glancing at a bookshelf next to it, he got up and looked there.

Discussions on history, humanities, philosophy, and art, but most of them are novels. At first glance, it looks like news magazines provided by coffee shops on the previous earth.

I flipped through it casually, and noticed that there were books and periodicals that were brand new than other books in the corner of the bookshelf where the recommended products were written.Picking it up, I quickly glanced at each of them, uh, I actually found more than a dozen novels by Mary Su Xiang in a row.Is this the current trend in Constantinople literary circles recently?I remember that I used to explore ancient tombs in the New World!By accident, he took out a copy and stood on the bookshelf to flip through it.

I don't know how long it took, but I just felt that my ears suddenly became quiet.Turning around and looking around, only Alexander and the others were left in the hall on the second floor.

Alexander and the others didn't say a word, just looked at it directly.

I put the books back and smiled: "Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?"

"It's a bit sad." Valens said, dropping the binoculars in his hand.

As soon as I had a question mark, someone came to answer it.

Constance said: "After all, you are probably going to get married, but God forbid, you are with an old woman this time, so I don't think you will get addicted to it and become like an old guy."

"I think Nikephoros' plan has a high chance of success. Why, can't he save himself?" The brother who was dragged on a blind date by his parents interrupted.

Morris smiled and asked: "Do you think that in Constantinople and even the entire empire, someone needs Nikephoros' father to hug his thigh?"

there is none left!

This is common sense. If it weren't for some problems left over from history, the one sitting on the throne of the emperor would be a member of the Theofano family.

"Our natures are different." I said to the lucky one. "Your parents chose a goal that satisfied them from many choices. So what you are doing is just an exchange of friendship between ordinary nobles. You With that woman, both parties have the right to choose, so there is a lot of room for maneuver. But it is different here."

"I remember that woman was just a businessman." Someone said indignantly.

"She has been operating in the channels along the southern coast of the Kingdom of France for a long time. The family has a good relationship with many families in the Kingdom of France, and has considerable influence in both the Netherlands and Milan. I also heard that the woman can't keep up with The King Shaofa’s close friends and ministers have a good relationship. And these, you know what this means.”

Wendir, widow of Leonidas of Constantinople.His mother was born in a Milan noble in the Apennine Peninsula, and his father was an earl of Marseille, a big city in southern France.The Leonidas family who accepted this mixed-race child into the small circle of Romans is considered well-known in Constantinople. According to Daddy Cheap, even if this woman marries into our Theofano family, she will not marry her. Disgraceful to the lintel.

All I can say about this woman's wealth is that it is staggering.I am too lazy to list a lot of data. Let me take an example. The chamber of commerce under her name owns nearly 500 large ocean-going merchant ships over 30 tons. As far as I know, our Theofano family has a total of more than 500 An ocean-going large merchant ship of more than [-] tons.

There are many rich people in Constantinople.I won't say much about the importance of the geographical location of Constantinople and the entire empire. The lack of this hub in the trade between the eastern and western hemispheres will have enough consequences to affect the progress and pace of civilization in the entire world.

In the past world, Western Europe tried to open up new routes because of the rise of the Ottomans and the blockage of commercial routes. As a result, they discovered a new continent by accident, and thus rose in one fell swoop by plundering the wealth of indigenous civilizations.It can be said that the Ottomans were partly responsible for the tragic death of the natives in the Americas, who made them the promoters of history.

But in this world, the Ottomans didn't appear at all.The Mongols took their place.Several expeditions to the west made the whole western world tremble under their horseshoes.

The third Western Expedition was also the furthest from Vienna to the French border fortress city of Metz.In that battle, the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Aragon, and the Italian city-states were bruised and swollen by the Mongols. People are likely to surrender, because they are basically sure that the other party is "Alati crossed" and the end of the world is coming!

Mongols are brutal.So the age of great voyages in this world was born ahead of time, not for profit or wealth, but to learn from Noah in the Bible story, build a ship and escape to the sea, and then find a place to hide.It's so awesome, I really don't know how to write an introduction to this historic moment in future textbooks... You know, the royal families of various countries were sponsors of large-scale and organized shipbuilding programs.If it wasn't for later, because of the desertion of the trade route due to the Western Expedition, Western European countries would not have thought of developing a new trade route.

Regarding the Mongolian expedition to the west, the memory in my brain tells me that the last Mongol expedition to the west in the original world only reached Bulgaria and Moscow, and then stopped their massacre.According to their military strength, even rushing into France is more than enough.Experts and scholars speculate that it is the impoverished Western Europe that makes the Mongolians who have traveled all the way through countless countries so painful.But in this world, the reason why they have advanced further, I think, is probably because the Mongols saw Constantinople.To be exact, it was Constantinople after the traverser had just brought the Roman Empire to life.

That traveler will probably be very depressed, I think whoever meets the descendants of Genghis Khan, who is known as the most golden thigh man in the history of the world, will be depressed.Who told the other party's father to be a violent man with a cheating device.Nima, from a small tribal leader to a man who made the world tremble in just a few decades, God knows if he brought a system with him.

Fortunately, my former opponent was a descendant of Genghis Khan, but even so, he paid a high price.

After the death of my predecessor, the empire he left behind has been at war with the Mongols, Arabs, Rus, and even Western Europeans.There have been victories, failures, glory, and shame. The man on the throne of the emperor does not belong to his family, because the family he belongs to has died out more than 300 years ago.

So, let’s say that my predecessor was very powerful, relying on his own strength to let the Roman Empire pass on for hundreds of years.According to my calculations according to the Gregorian calendar, this year is 1718.That is to say, the Roman Empire in the east has existed in a real sense for more than 1000 years since the division of Rome in the east and west.However, this good performance also has a price.If there was a Disney record for the country with the most emperors killed in battle, the current Roman Empire deserves it.

The emperor died on the battlefield, and the princes were martyred for the country.After hundreds of years, the emperor du du of the Roman Empire has changed several families, and the unwritten traditions have become rules, which are directly written into the military school dogma... a little uncomfortable, because judging from the personal volunteers I filled out, I am in My future job will easily kill me, and the Wendell that Cheap Daddy wants me to marry is very likely to be a widow again, which means that I have a high chance of being cuckolded.

But what is even more disturbing is that my father is probably not the only one who is interested in this widow.Otherwise, he wouldn't have defined my mission this time just by saying that he hopes you can marry her.In other words, the choice is on the woman's side. If I want to marry her, I have to work hard to pursue her!Cheap Papa is so fucking creative!I even want to sigh, is it because the old guy's lingering soul has possessed him, and he actually wants to let a 25-year-old wife who is mature enough to see a big-ass kid surrounded by handsome men!

This is no less difficult than asking a man to choose between a beautiful woman and an ugly woman.

As the ugly girl among the suitors of that woman, I admit it, the initiative is in the hands of the other party, whether I work hard or not, the result seems to be the same, and if I let go, it will be more beneficial to me personally.But for the entire family, if we marry that woman, her wealth, her connections, and her influence in the west, these are an opportunity for our Theofano family!

I don't know what cheap daddy thinks, but after knowing the general situation of that woman, I know that if I marry this woman, she will be a great asset to our Theofano family, a fortune for others Unexpected wealth.That's right, if other people marry that woman, to them, Wendir is just a lady with rich family property and deep influence, but to the Theofano family, as long as we make good use of that woman Everything, the wealth of Theofano family will become the well-deserved number one in the empire!This will help us a lot in our quest for the imperial throne.

I didn't tell Alexander about this, nor did I tell those buddies.But as people united with Alexander, they more or less know how powerful it is.

After asking from the sweaty foreman whose property it was, we left the café to say our goodbyes at Theodosius Square, and everyone came up and said please don't be shy when it's useful to them.

If I want to kill people and set fires, these companions who are trained in majors and grew up with me are the most suitable, but the problem is that I want to hook up with a 25-year-old wife, and I need experts to teach me How to do it!But where are the masters? !
