Chapter207 【Follow-up plan】
Half an hour later, Arthur Royer came back.
Nothing happened.
The entire Leutge was still as lively and prosperous as before. There was no sudden mobilization of the city's guards, nor was there a sudden assembly of fleets docked at the private port of the Marquis of Sitiens.
This matter was settled so peacefully.
"Cityus didn't come to see me, so he sent a butler." After seeing Li Jiu, Arthur Royer gave an outline of the follow-up.
Li Jiu already knew this in the simulation.
Citizen is indeed an old fox. This is the king missing the king.
In the future, even if Sities turns against him, he can still say that he doesn't know about the Tribunal at all. It's just his subordinates who are messing around, deceiving the superiors and not informing him.
It's a good idea to play.
But no matter what, the matter was resolved this time.
Moreover, it successfully fired the first shot of the Inquisition. Even if Sities did not come forward, the impact of this matter was minimized, but rumors were always pervasive and spread everywhere.
I believe that the reputation of the Tribunal in Leuthe will be spread before tomorrow.
The hard-topped Marquis Mansion forced the Marquis to give in.
This is good news politically. In other words, in the future, it will be difficult for Sities to rely on his energy in Leuthe to dominate the world, at least on the surface.
But, what should we do next?
In theory, the next step is to strike while the iron is hot.
After all, we have already come to this point, and it is completely a situation of retreat if we don't advance.
After experiencing the series of events in Leuthe, everyone has actually been completely tied together.
Although Talina has now become the acting director of the Business Association and has successfully saved her family's business, it looks good on the surface, but in fact it is still like a candle in the wind, extinguished as soon as it is blown.
She urgently needs a strong external force to stabilize her position.
Arthur Royer's Inquisition has a reputation of righteousness, and it can force Sitriens to make temporary concessions, but after all, it has a shallow foundation in the West Sea and needs a lot of money and personnel to build a real system.
As for Li Jiu, he also needed to open up shipping routes to the entire West Sea to increase his influence over Tut.
In fact, all three parties need others and can complement each other.
At this time, if you don’t want to do something, you have to do something.
So Li Jiu simply organized a meeting after Arthur Royer came back.
But everyone seemed a little silent and didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Li Jiu who came up with his idea, which was what he had already started planning before arriving in Leuthe.
sea transportation.
"We need a successful maritime transport."
The specific content is to rely on Talina's influence in the merchant association to formulate a motion to go westward and encourage members of the merchant association to trade with Tut.
At the same time, the pearls, gold mines, and other specialties from Tut were sold to Leuthe and even further islands to open up markets and increase the income of the people of Tut.
If it succeeds, it's a win-win situation.
Because many of the merchants in the West Sea did not want to expand trade towards Tut, but they had been suffering from being plundered by Nasuo pirates for many years, so they had no choice but to go to Nasuo for trade.
Although you can make a lot of money in Nassau and reduce the possibility of being robbed by pirates, Nassau charges higher trade taxes than ordinary ports, which has long caused dissatisfaction among many businessmen.
If this brutal blockade of Naso can be broken, the businessmen will definitely be happy.
Talina supports this. On the one hand, she needs to open up a situation in the Merchant Association. On the other hand, Li Jiu has helped her so much, and it is time for her to reciprocate.
"It's just that it will be very difficult." Arthur Royer thought for a while and said.
The difficulty must be huge.
On the one hand, Naso certainly does not want to see the emergence of such a route that is not under their control.
Moreover, Li Jiu and the others had already offended the Nassau Governor's Palace.
On the other hand, Citizen was obviously willing to ruin their good deeds.
These two forces can be called the giants in the Calabis Sea.
But wealth can be found in danger. At this time, there is actually no way to go back.
If we don't do this, everyone will just die slowly under multiple pressures.
Especially, now on the Nasso side, Li Jiu knew that the Governor of Nassau was unable to take action for the time being.
Blackbeard is also disabled, so it may not be a good time.
"For this first trade, let's use my ship as the vanguard." Li Jiu would have to worry about protecting any other armed merchant ship, so he might as well use the Golden Holy Grail as the protagonist this time.
Anyway, Talina is the acting director of the Merchant Association, so asking Li Jiu to join the Merchant Association is just a matter of raising a hand.
As a baron of the kingdom, it is very reasonable for me to become a businessman, right?
However, Li Jiu did not ask everyone to prepare immediately. After discussing this, he asked Old John to prepare some snacks, saying it was a break, and then he returned to the captain's cabin.
Of course, he didn't suddenly become interested and want to catch fish, he wanted to start making preparations, and he made preparations carefully enough.
Because the plan he just proposed was too bold and risky, even though it sounded like the only option.
However, his cautious nature made him still have to make deductions first.
If you don't use it, it will be struck by lightning.
Entering the captain's cabin, he first poured himself a glass of rum, and after drinking it slowly, he said that he had not had this experience for a long time.
After leaving Tut this time, it seems that I have been constantly on the road, and sitting in the captain's cabin drinking alone has become a luxury.
After enjoying some alone time, Li Jiu finally started to simulate the deduction.
Fortunately, his recent sailing certificate income has been good, which can fully support his deduction. In terms of expenses, he is not so worried.
In the first simulation, his idea was to go to sea in the name of the Tribunal. This would definitely attract Nasuo's hatred, but the Marquis of Citians would be afraid of it. Even if he wanted to take action, he could not blatantly do it.
start.
"Simulating loading..."
"The Cold Wind Month (October), 1637 in the Calendar of Discovery, on the 23rd.
You successfully joined the Merchant Association, became a member of the Merchant Association, and became the first group of merchants to go to Tut at the Merchant Association meeting.
On the 26th, after three days of preparation, you drove the Golden Holy Grail and started heading towards Tut under the banner of the Tribunal.
After two days of sailing, you entered the sea near Naso on the morning of the 28th. At this time, the sea was covered with heavy fog, and in the heavy fog, there were some..."
