Warlock Royal Family

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that a large area of ​​Württemberg's territory has already been promised to be allocated to several mercenary regiments, otherwise they would not be able to accept such a reasonable price to serve you, "Guardian" warrior Frenz Your Excellency Berg is also willing to risk your life like this because you promised a large territory." Anton Fugger eagerly explained, does the Grand Duke want to go back on his word?The Fugger family also allocated a large piece of land.

"Of course I remember this, and I haven't forgotten the credit of your Fugger family for connecting me. If it weren't for you as a guarantee, I wouldn't be able to use the land I haven't obtained to discount part of the salary of the mercenaries. But in the Württemberg area, At most 10,000% of the lands of the five Earls and Marquises who supported the former Duke should be enough to allocate, and the remaining [-]% of the land can’t be sold for [-]+ Thaler?”

This number is not too much to expect. Charles V's 22 thalers are actually just an excuse. It is not the silver coins that really control the territory, but the Austrian army.

"Your Highness, what you are selling is the ownership of the land. In order to establish a centralized state, you are absolutely unwilling to establish new feudal vassals. The buyer is only a landlord and cannot get a new title of nobility, so the price is naturally greatly discounted. Another unfavorable factor is the local population, because the war has also been greatly reduced, and the best land has gone to those mercenary captains, so the land you can sell is naturally at a great discount." Anton Treasurer, working hard explained to his master.

The meat eaten by your Fugger family is not bad. Even though you understand that this is what you should do, Ferdinand is still upset that everyone gets rich and only you suffer from poverty. However, a lot of things still depend on this gentleman and him. family.

Therefore, Ferdinand asked calmly, "How many silver coins can I exchange?"

"[-] to [-] thaler, let's make this prediction, try to be patient and take it slowly, and the account will be paid before the end of next year. [-] thaler is sure." Family interests, but being a treasurer is also fully qualified. In order to pursue the title of nobility, his loyalty to Ferdinand is good, of course, as long as it does not conflict with the interests of the Fugger family.

Now the Habsburg family and the Fugger family have formed a fairly close relationship. Although the Fugger family is definitely not qualified to be called an ally, the Fugger family is indeed a guest of all Habsburg courts.

In the last election of the emperor, it was the Fugger Textile Association who helped Charles V to pay more than 70 talers in bribes, defeating Francois I of France and getting this crown. A big crown.

"At the end of this year, it must be paid in full. Even if there is a loss of price, I will accept it." Ferdinand said the loss of price with pain, his tone and look, if Miss Anna-Sib was by her side, she would definitely I will no longer doubt whether Ladislaus is related to him, it's a heartache that I can't pretend.

Anton Fugger, who is also extremely sensitive to prices, couldn't help raising his voice: "Why is it so urgent? Your Highness, it is difficult to sell even [-] talers in such a short period of time."

"This year the French took Milan with a thunderous blow. The emperor and King François confronted each other in the direction of the Netherlands. Neither side dared to fight in that fatal direction. It was too close to Paris, Francois. Don't dare, the Netherlands is too close to the source of our wealth, and the emperor brother is not willing to put all his eggs in one basket unless it is absolutely necessary.

In this way, the direction of Italy is very important. Brother Huang has placed great expectations on me for the task of taking back Milan. Although the army sent by Brother Huang from Naples must be the main force, I must do extreme mobilization now.All the power is meaningless if it misses the decisive battle. It will be the same as the account at the end of next year, and it will be the same as the account after 1 years. ’ Ferdinand clenched his fists to show his treasurer his unshakable determination.

"I understand, then I will immediately arrange special salesmen to go to rich imperial cities such as Augsburg, Lübeck, Frankfurt, and Nuremberg to sell land. Wealthy citizens have a strong desire for land." Fei Di Nande's comprehensive explanation made Anton Treasurer also make up his mind.

"Okay, and this year I need the Fugger Textile Association to lend me 30 thalers instead of [-]. I have to leave this matter to you." Ferdinand's generosity made Anton stand up He frowned, not only because of his duties as a treasurer but also because of the financial pressure on his family.

But at this time, Ferdinand's face no longer had the troubles and pain just now, only the cold lines and the arbitrariness of the monarch.

So Anton Treasurer could only bow his head and say, "Yes, I understand. I will set off for Augsburg tomorrow to meet my father, and I will definitely bring you the financial resources you need."

Satisfied, Ferdinand finally gave Anton the Treasurer a good reward, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. After you come back, your title of baron for life and an annuity of one thousand talers should be approved by the House of Nobles. I have [-] taler in my private treasury for activities, and I also know that even if you are Mr. Fugger, if you want to borrow money, you will not be able to save the necessary expenses."

Anton Treasurer naturally knelt down on one knee and expressed his loyalty to the lord. Although it was only for life and not a hereditary title, the two giants of Habsburg are very cautious about the title of knight, and even military merits can only be awarded for life. The title, the fact that a civil servant can get such an honor is already a proof of great favor.

Not to mention that the lord thoughtfully reimbursed the event expenses.After all, even if a father and son, a good brother, borrow money on behalf of outsiders, it must be lubricated up and down.

However, before Ferdinand got up and helped each other, there was a routine drama of Jun Ming and Chen Zhong.

The secret room where the two discussed confidential matters was pushed away with a "bang".

Ferdinand was about to cast the arcane spell of body protection instantly, but the duchess looked at him with an angry face. Although Europa is a patriarchal society, the duchess named Anna from the noble Agroni family in Eastern Europe , is not the oppressed Lord.

Although it was only at the level of a fifth-level warrior, the fifteenth-level warrior guarding the gate could only obediently fall to the ground.

Because of her generous dowry, noble birth, and possible inheritance rights, if his brother dies without heirs, then according to the agreement, Ferdinand can inherit the throne of Hungary and Bohemia, although this does not seem to be true. Most likely, after all, that monarch is in full bloom in spring and autumn.

"What's the matter, this year I have held less than [-] banquets to help you save money, and you actually sneaked away to meet this despicable money lender?" The Duchess said to those businessmen without noble titles It's disrespectful.

"Don't be presumptuous, Your Highness Master Zhen Guo, Bravan Fugger will never like you to call his nephew like that." Ferdinand immediately moved out of the mountain to stop his wife from talking.

As a devout believer of His Majesty, the Duchess hates lending for profit even more. It is these damned businessmen who keep us nobles from spending their money properly, and let Treasurer Anton avoid it.

Pious faith, strong backing.

Even if the Fugger family has a dignified "Guanguo" mage, they are unwilling to fight her, after all, they have no actual conflicts.

So, despite being insulted quite a bit, the examiner hurriedly ran away after seeing Ferdinand waving his hand to signal that he could leave.

Anton Treasurer was really grateful to the Grand Duke this time in his heart. Now that he lets himself go, the lord will suffer a lot more.

But today, Ferdinand's luck was also good. The Duchess's nagging did not last for 5 minutes. The "Guardian" warrior Frundsberg asked to see him late at night.

The Duchess had no choice but to intermittently praise herself for being thrifty, and reluctantly hid behind the screen. Although the Fugger family is wealthy and powerful, for a traditional aristocrat like the Duchess, the title of "protecting the country" is more important. persuasive.

After the monarch and his ministers saluted, Frundsberg immediately began to report the reason for asking to see him overnight.

"Your Highness, just now, His Majesty the Knight of Great Wishes confirmed that His Excellency Ladislaus performed a sacrificial ceremony to his satisfaction. For some reason, His Majesty the Knight of Great Wishes bestowed a grace that exceeded the standard of sacrifice. The pool lost a tenth of its reserves," reported Frundsberg rather bitterly.

"The Pond of Great Wishes belongs to and only belongs to the Supreme Knight of Great Wishes, the ever-present guardian of the Holy Roman Empire, His Majesty Barbarossa, how to use it is entirely at His Majesty Barbarossa's discretion, and we should not comment on it." Although it is also very painful. However, Ferdinand immediately defended his belief with a solemn face.

Frenzbeck quickly knelt down to plead guilty. Naturally, Ferdinand couldn't trigger his generals for such a trivial matter, so he let it go lightly at the moment. After all, most of the sacrifices for saving ambitions were done by him. Heartache.

However, this sacrifice was also a message for Ladislaus to report his safety.He was very happy that the third-ranked warlock in this family was able to escape safely. Ever since he received the "Black Wailing" report, he had been thinking about this cousin who was not close to him.

After all, Ladislaus, not far or close in blood, related but not threatening, and quite powerful, is still a very important bargaining chip for the warlock royal family.

Moreover, the "black wail" signal device invented by Ladislaus has proved to be very promising.People don't want him to fall just like that. The goodwill of the acting Grand Duke is extremely rare. Ladislaus has already got a little bit, but it is only a little bit.

"Ladislaus?" The Acting Grand Duchess couldn't remember who it was.

"My brother in Liguria."

"Oh, what brother, it's him, what's wrong with him?"

"Alive." The husband's perfunctory attitude prevented the Grand Duchess from asking any more questions, since she didn't really care about that Liguria person anyway.

In the evening, the guests of Schonbrunn Palace found that the host couple who returned after disappearing for an hour were obviously in a good mood. The Acting Grand Duke even danced three dances with the Duchess in a rare way, and warmly received several of them. Hungarian contacts introduced by the Duchess.

Even if he is as powerful as the Deputy Grand Duke, he still likes the good news of red, not the wailing of black.
