Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Two hundred and eightieth IX Venice Scroll (5)

With the existence of the camouflage net, people couldn't see Chu Yining who was gradually disappearing, but the Venetians still noticed Chu Yining who disappeared all of a sudden.

Venice in the 15th century was still a place where Christianity was prevalent, and the pious Xuan had to use camouflage nets to disappear on the street, and then turned a corner to try to change their image.

He is not going to return to p112 now, that would appear too eager. What's more, with Huang Xuan's current strength on Earth, he doesn't have the ability to search for an alien without a passport all over the world.

That Mr. Spy will eventually try to find Huang Xuan's flaws, and at this time, he will be unable to reveal his flaws.

Huang Xuan encouraged himself: he must be as brave as he was when he hit someone with a stone for the first time when he was a child.

Asking Lorraine to change his skin, Huang Xuan looked at his bleached image on the energy screen, and said, "Nick, you can add 1 billion to Lorraine through Kangfu, Lorraine, once the energy arrives , you will upgrade."

"OK."

"how long it takes?"

"Three to four days, the time ratio of p301 and p112 is about 1:2, you only need to wait for two days, and it can be completed."

"That's best."

Nick said a little dissatisfied: "Does it make Lorraine who has no interest become an 18-year-old traveler?"

"If you can get Lu Min to sell the blueprint of the level 24 transfer base for _material, I'll upgrade it for you."

Nick suddenly became excited, and said, "I'll urge them now."

Huang Xuan sighed. Both bases are emotionless, and accordingly there is no so-called sense of crisis. Even if Nick really wants to blow himself up, he won't have any complaints, only himself. Will really have emotional fluctuations because of the future.

Tried to say a few words in Italian - naturally through Nick's translation. Huang Xuan moved to the outside. He needed to improve his strength now. Every bit of energy could give him a qualitative leap in strength—the reason why Chu Yining let him go was probably because he was really worried that he would jump over the wall in a hurry. If you really play to death, there may be no clues. But she never imagined that the complete program base, which was almost invisible in the plane era, would appear in p

Lorraine is a base that can be upgraded with energy.

Even in the era of big planes, except for those important strategic planes, there are very few such forward bases.

On the way back to San Giacomo Square, the Venetian merchants just now were still selling treasures from Constantinople.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire's attack on Constantinople was perhaps the most tragic scene in the entire history of Europe, with three days and three nights of burning, killing and looting. Coupled with the long-term search and control in the future, this thousand-year-old city will be devastated. The "New Rome" of Byzantium is the continuation of Roman civilization. The skin of culture has always been one of the most prosperous civilizations in the world. buildings were set ablaze. Subsequently, Mehmet II renamed Constantinople to Istanbul and converted countless churches into mosques.

To this. The European world is in deep pain.

Of course, the Venetians also had fear, resentment and unconcealed religious sentiments, but this did not hinder their pursuit of wealth.

Buying back the precious works of art in the hands of Turkish soldiers and generals seems to allow them to vent their emotions. Perhaps it is wealth that allows them to vent their emotions. Due to the relationship between war and supply and demand, it may have cost 300 karats The picture scroll can now be bought for only 50 Ducats, and can even be exchanged for food and spices with only 30 Ducats. : It is even more exciting for the Venetians.

It is now 1455, that is, the threat of Constantine's army is gradually forgotten by people. Instead, it is the art price rise that started in Florence, which also drove the art price in Venice. The market is boiling up. pepe contribution

As far as Huang Xuan could see, almost half of the businesses were doing similar or related things.

They either sell and buy handicrafts, or exchange them with what the Turks need, and most of them are doing things related to them, just like the increase in the price of oil will drive the market for plastics. The prices of commodities related to the Arab world are not only at Rising stage, and quite easy to sell - eg grain, lumber, woolens and so on.

Looking down at San Gacomo Square from the air, its planning is like a large wholesale market in later generations. Low bungalows or two-story buildings play the role of commercial houses in their respective functional areas in a horizontal and vertical manner, many of which are only more than a hundred A house of square meters may represent the interests of hundreds of sailing ships in the entire Eastern Fleet, here

Merchants have financial resources that surprise modern people. Tens of thousands of florins may appear in the books here. The gold Ducat and British pound gold coins are between 1:6.2 at the end of the 15th century. During the crisis, the amount of British pounds borrowed from banks in Italy was only 70,000 British pounds each time.

The so-called incomparable wealth is just a common thing in the small city of Venice.

Huang Xuan pretended to be an ordinary small businessman, and walked quietly on the stone-paved square road. The pace of life in Venice is fast, at least much faster than Nanjing, and he heard the noise from the surrounding shops Huang Xuan was also somewhat infected by the hundreds of Ducat deals.

It seems to be a 15th century version of the futures market.

After passing the nearest rum franchise store, Huang Xuan finally saw a shop named Perot with a wheat sign on it. There were four people standing behind the counter inside, and two people were talking at a distance.

Huang Xuan touched his cheek, which was disguised as a white man, coughed, and walked into the shop.

A young apprentice came over immediately and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"

Anyone who runs a shop in the city of Venice must be a recognized guild member. According to their rank, they are divided into managers, masters, apprentices or helpers. This is a long and strict hierarchical sequence, but it is precisely this This sequence ensures the continuity and self-discipline of production.

According to the habits of the Italians, Huang Xuan tried to make himself rigid and stiff, and then said in the prepared language: "I have a batch of goods that are about to arrive, and they are grains, so I want to sell them to you."

"Are you a member of our guild?" The apprentices didn't change their attitude because Huang Xuan said "a batch". In fact, Venice has always been a country that insists on self-sufficiency in food, and they can Said to be true advocates of free business: no trade protection, no antitrust. Italians, on the other hand, have never been so kind to customers, expressions such as "the customer is king" until the 21st century, Italians frowned upon. .

Huang Xuan shook his head, at this time the store manager had already walked out. Huang Xuan immediately added: "You see, this is my first time in Venice, but I have admired the reputation of the Venetians for a long time, and I am willing to make myself a member of this credit group, so that I can Ask for payment again, but I need to get a warehouse to store this food."

Venice's trade system is already quite sound. In the city of Venice, you can't just get a warehouse, especially in the busy waters of the city. The daily traffic here is huge and easy to hide, but most of the warehouses already have owners. .

Hearing Huang Xuan's words, the store manager came out slowly, stood in front of Huang Xuan, smiled and said, "I am the manager of this store, Dest."

Huang Xuan shrugged and replied, "Xhosa, you can call me Xhosa. My cargo ship will arrive in three days, maybe later today, so I need to make preparations early."

He made a helpless expression. Dest knew that it would be inconvenient for a merchant without a guild to be in Venice, so he asked with a smile, "So how much food do you have? Where does it come from? What type?"

"Well, about 2 bushels of wheat, I don't know how much will be lost on the road, you know, it's all from France."

A bushel is a unit of capacity, and 1 bushel of wheat should weigh 239 kilograms. At that time, the displacement of sailboats sailing on the sea was increasing year by year, but the 200-square-meter ship type was still relatively small, and the ear size was about 600 wheat, which was already a large number.

Dest was obviously interested. He looked at Huang Xuan for a while, beckoned to a 30-year-old middle-aged man, and said to Huang Xuan: "This is Massimo. He will lead you to our warehouse and arrange For your accommodation, if your fleet arrives within three days, you can trade and pay after the inspection.”

Massimo should be a master. He smiled at Huang Xuan friendly and said, "Mr. Xhosa, please follow me."

"Oh, okay." Huang Xuan was a little uncomfortable. 100 type ears cost about 6 gold ducats, and 2 bushels cost 600 gold ducats. Its value is equivalent to 3.4 US dollars. Even in a grain company in the United States, no manager would complete the transaction of 600 tons of grain so easily.

What's more, compared to the productivity of the 15th century, 600 gold ducats can be regarded as the budget of a city-state for about two months.

Perhaps, this is the so-called confidence that all the wealth in the world is gathered here. .
