Since the great voyage, countless wealth has gathered in the Franco.

This makes countless Francis aristocrats, purses increasingly full.

A hundred years ago, located in Italy, the Renaissance began to appear, which brought a new atmosphere to the entire Franco machine.

Extravagance began to become a fashion, new palaces, new castles, oriental porcelain, Persian blankets, gold and silver looted from the New World, all wealth has become people used to embellish and decorate themselves, to people Boasting ornaments.

They gradually began to use porcelain as ornaments, hung on their walls, decorated their palaces with the most exaggerated colors, even the domes on the churches, and used expensive glass at this time, the building became more and more The more magnificent, people are competing to wear the most gorgeous service, like a peacock.

The only flaw is ... the most gorgeous color in the world, the price is really high.

Because the production of purple pigments is complicated and extremely scarce, this noble color admired by the Byzantine courts will not be able to be consumed even in the later generations, even ordinary princes.

But now ...

People looked at this fuchsia flower, which was not in front of people's chest, and at once, this flower attracted everyone's attention.

After the salon ended, all that was left was the whispers of a group of businessmen and nobles.

People inquired about this unseen flower.

The news started to spread like wildfire. Immediately afterwards, it was found that there was such a flower on the chest of the wife of the Governor of the Northern Province.

So, it has a name called Tulip.

This is a very beautiful name, as noble as the flower itself.

After ten days.

Queen France, wearing this flower, appeared at the banquet.

Soon after, merchants began to sell tulip bulbs in Northern Province.

Someone began to see business opportunities, began to buy these bulbs, and let farmers cultivate.

And the nobles who are looking for tulips are beginning to increase.

As happened in history, the robotic lover has a morbid love for tulips.

This is entirely from their own cultural traditions.

And ... When people gradually discovered that tulip bulbs, although some people are selling, can still be hard to find. Those who bought tulip bulbs quickly discovered the talent of the Dutch to do business.

Many businessmen began to hoard goods.

And the nobles were competing to order this bulb. It is said that the queen of France asked that she need to change the flower arrangement of the tulip three times in her bedroom every day.

This can grow tulip bulbs, and suddenly became popular.

………………

Liu Wenshan was drinking white water.

The tea brought by has been exhausted. This is the most distressing thing for his trip. Without tea, it is like a man without roots. It seems that all of a sudden, life becomes imperfect.

He listened carefully to Liu Jin's report.

"Daddy, my son really admires those Dutch businessmen. Their hoarding of goods and their wide spreading skills are really eye-opening." Liu Jin used to despise Fran robots, but now, he found that these people Her ingenuity is not under her own. At this time, her face is full of admiration.

Dutch merchants are famous for their Francis machines, which are almost comparable to Venetian merchants.

They have a very high degree of sensitivity to the goods. Once they feel profitable, on the market, Liu Wenshan released the tulip bulbs, and they immediately made a rash purchase.

After the acquisition, on the one hand, they began to show the dignity brought by tulips to the royal family and nobles through various relationships, and constantly aroused people's love for tulips. They even hired painters. Perform various artistic creations.

A court painter, who was invited to Austria in Habsburg, painted a portrait of Augustus Vodawi commanding the army to obtain the Battle of Fasaro, in front of the dangling breastplate of the Roman Augustus, Don't hold a tulip.

It seems to be showing, the tulip represents victory, honor, and nobility.

In the court of France, the merchants presented such a precious flower to the queen and immediately won the queen's love.

So, under their joint hype, tulips began to skyrocket.

In just half a month, the price has tripled.

And ... still in short supply.

"Don't rush to let the bulbs go out, a little bit." Liu Wenshan thought for a while and continued to drink white water, he pondered for a moment: "To maintain the state of imbalance between supply and demand, but also to ensure that the Dutch businessmen are profitable . "

"We cannot rely on our own strength to let the tulip skyrocket. The reason why it is valuable is that it can enable countless businessmen to profit from it. Therefore, only by maintaining a small amount of stocking now can those hoarded tulips be allowed. Of merchants continue to build momentum for tulips and, at a higher price, sell tulips. "

"However, with only this item, let's ... what kind of money do we earn?" Liu Jin muttered.

Liu Wenshan smiled: "The time has not come yet."

The price of tulip bulbs is still rising.

By this time, it was no longer the merchants who felt profitable.

Even ordinary people in the northern province, even farmers in France, or a clergyman from Rome, the little nobles in Vienna, began to feel this craze gradually.

For anyone, Turi is a difficult matter. Farmers need to work hard to get a little harvest; sailors need to take a huge risk, nine deaths, only to improve their situation; Switzerland The mercenaries are holding their own blood and sweat and earning it, but it is just a small profit.

When someone finds out, there is no need to take risks, don't need to take your own life on the belt, or even ... no labor, just ...

Farmers in the northwest of France began selling their cattle and buying some rhizomes of tulips, and then ... when their neighbors laughed at their delusions.

A miracle happened.

The bulbs exchanged for one cow have just begun to hope to be exchanged for three cows in just ten days.

The people around them, because they bought bulbs, became rich overnight, and the people with bulbs repeatedly told a story that they believed in.

Tulip ... noble ... luxury ... it is a gift from heaven, everyone needs it, its value is far more than it is now.

Everyone who owns it is convinced about it, even with enthusiasm. They talk to people over and over again, tirelessly.

Many farmers have made a lot of money.

Some small citizens began to take out all their savings.

They are also proclaiming various legends of these bulbs. Their ability to tell stories is far more clever than the farmers in France. They whispered about the legend of the royal nobles buying gold tulips.

This bulb ... No one even wants to cultivate flowers with care, but cherish it and sell it at a price.

However, people's hearts will never be satisfied.

When its price has doubled, people will only hide it in their hands in ecstasy, hoping to increase more.

When its value has doubled, even when someone directly started to use the tulip rhizomes to trade real estate with others, all tulip rhizomes on the market have been privately hidden by people and will not be sold.

No one sells, but countless people are buying.

People began to believe that this myth will not be broken, because everyone has determined that the roots of tulips have unparalleled value.

This is no longer just a handful of businessmen behind them as promoters, and even citizens who have borrowed a lot to buy tulip bulbs have begun to appear.

Nobles realized this terrible trend, and they began to participate.

No one can resist the temptation of mad asset appreciation.

Think about it, a small farmer, because of the early acquisition of tulips, in the blink of an eye, his wealth continued to grow, and his financial situation gradually became less optimistic.

In this situation, nobles used tulips to show their rich needs, but also to maintain their financial health.

Since the great voyage, the Spaniards brought back countless gold and silver, which made the precious metals, as well as the entire currency of the Franc, increasingly depreciated.

As the currency depreciates, wealth continues to shrink, and the resulting inflation leads to anxiety for all classes of the entire Flemish machine.

Has accumulated countless generations of wealth, hidden in the castle, originally thought that you can sit back and relax, but as early as decades ago, people discovered that the accumulation of ancestors ~ www.readwn.com ~ has become more and more valuable.

And now ... Tulips appeared.

The nobles began to scramble to order.

There is even a mutant tulip. It is no longer fuchsia, but a fuchsia, with white dots. At the auction, its price was actually astronomical, and it was worth 1,300 Spanish gold coins.

At the banquets and salons, those well-dressed aristocrats who like to talk about painting and war no longer have the intention to discuss these issues. They have repeatedly repeated the stories they encountered. These stories have been added to the vinegar, as if ... … The most beautiful thing in the world, discovered by myself.

One month ...

Tulip bulbs, a 30-fold increase.

One cow turned into thirty cows.

The count of France, who was in charge of finance, asked the king to take out a part of the gold coins from the treasury for the purchase of tulips.

In fact ... The King of Austria in Habsburg was also considering this matter.

The first to act was the governor of the Habsburg family in the northern province. He first used the gold and silver in the library to make investments. Now, the financial of the northern province has already ranked first in the entire Franco machine. , Its assets have tripled.
