Schvira is now proud. As he expected, the treaty of friendly and mutual assistance signed with the Ming Dynasty received unanimous praise within the Portuguese revival aristocratic circle. All the nobles praised him for finding a powerful ally for Portugal, and he therefore entered the core decision-making level from a marginal figure in the revival aristocratic circle.

The signing of a friendly and mutual aid treaty not only gave him glory, but also gave him huge benefits. The high-end porcelain, high-end tea and silk that he bought from the Atlantic Trade in the Ming Dynasty last caused a sensation among the nobles of various countries. Auctions made the wealth of the Kilnino family expand rapidly, and the profit in the end reached a terrifying 80 million taels of silver!

Although they distributed half of the profits to Condede's Dinoni family as agreed, half of them had already made his family power into the core aristocratic circle of Portugal. Now his status with Condede's is no longer differentiated. That's not all. He has signed a long-term supply agreement with the Atlantic Trade of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to monopolizing the official foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty. Every month the Kilnino family will make a profit of tens of millions of taels of silver!

The wealth of the European continent is amazing. He knows that Portugal has obtained nearly 300,000 kilograms of gold in the past few decades, and Spain has obtained more than 200,000 kilograms of gold and more than 20 million kilograms of silver in the past few decades! Such huge wealth has caused prices in the European continent to soar, and even if you have money, you can't buy things, let alone high-end luxury goods. Therefore, the high-end porcelain, high-end tea and silk of the Ming Dynasty are basically auctioned on the European continent. There is no way, everyone is too rich, and there are so many high-end luxury goods!

The Ming Dynasty can be said to be a huge money tree, and now the only one under this money tree is Thishvira. What he has to do is stand firmly under this tree and not let others step in. How can he dominate this position? Of course, he is trying his best to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy Ming Dynasty. King Nikola of Zhennan has given him one million taels of silver, temporarily retaining his exclusive agent status. What he has to do now is to use all means to curry favor with the greatest wealthy Ming Dynasty: His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!

How much does it cost to impress His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire? This question is really a headache. As far as he knows, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is not short of money. A Ming Atlantic trade can make him profit by tens of millions of taels a month. I heard that he has a larger Rixinglong business, and he makes more than tens of millions of taels a month!

Just when Shivera was having a headache, King Nikola of Zhennan wrote to him that His Majesty the great Emperor of the Ming Empire wanted to buy some iron ore from him. When he looked at the figures behind him, he said, "It's two million kilograms, that's one million kilograms. Is that a little called? Isn't bullying me Chinese well, right?"

But after a brief anger, Schvira jumped up in surprise. Iron ore is not gold or silver. How much can that thing be worth? A million kilograms don’t cost one million taels of silver. What a great opportunity, you must not miss it!

As long as you know what you want, I am afraid you don’t want anything. I’ll look for it. If you want two million kilograms, I’ll give you two million kilograms!

So, Schvira wrote to the governors from all over the country for help: Is there any iron ore? Sell it to me, the price is easy to discuss!

Schvira's status in the aristocratic circle is very different now than before. The governors from all over the country want to curry favor with him. Isn't it just iron ore? It's easy to say. Besides, he doesn't give money, so two million kilograms of iron ore were quickly gathered together.

If others want to curry favor with him, he also wants to curry favor with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire. He will naturally not miss such a good opportunity to curry favor with him. So he followed the fleet of iron ore to the capital.

The Dutch are too sinister, and they raise pirates everywhere, and the Japanese are also shameless. Most of them are pirates under the Dutch, and more are pirates themselves. The coast of Ming Dynasty can be said to be a pirate nest. Fortunately, Nikola's fleet protects it, otherwise it would be dangerous. I heard that he was a pirate in the past and was the biggest pirate leader...

Schvira followed the eunuch, thinking while walking, and soon arrived at the place where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty met him.

At this time, Zhu Cijiu had already changed into a dragon robe and sat upright in the imperial study waiting for Shi Weila to come to pay homage. The boy Zheng Chenggong was also standing next to him in a dragon robe, looking like a dog! There was no way that the boy insisted on coming with him, saying that he hadn't seen a foreigner for a long time. Zhu Cijiu was so angry that he could only agree helplessly.

Soon Schvira came in under the guidance of the eunuch, and he respectfully knelt on one knee and saluted: "Shivera, the special envoy of the Portuguese Empire, met with His Majesty the great Emperor of the Ming Empire."

Zhu Cijing waved his hand and said kindly: "No gift, Mr. Schweila has been missing for a long time. How are you doing recently?"

Schvira stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I, Oh no, it's very good."

Hearing his inappropriate title, Zhu Cijing couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "I don't know why Mr. Schweila came."

Schvira continued to please: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor wanted iron ore, so I specially sent you four million kilograms."

Four million kilograms! It seems that I only have two million kilograms. You may not have too much iron ore. I want to come and extort me money, right? Zhu Cijiong looked stern and asked lightly: "Oh, four million kilograms, how much is the value?"

Schvira did not pay attention to Zhu Cijiong's expression. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Now His Majesty the Emperor finally asked for the price. He raised his mind and said passionately: "No money. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor won a great victory last year. These are my gifts to you to celebrate His Majesty's victory."

Gift! This guy is very good, it's good, it's worth training. He was just about to train a spokesperson among the great powers. It will be much more convenient to invade the great powers. Last time he felt that Schvira was very good, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so good this time. Well, that's it.

He pretended to be moved and said, "Oh, Mr. Schvira is so polite. How can I thank you? You are the Count in Portugal, right? I will also give you an earl, the Count of the Ming Dynasty, just call it Chengyi Bo. There is an earl in the capital, so I will give you a place to rest. What do you think? Are you willing to be my Count of the Ming Dynasty?"

The Count of the Ming Empire! That is not even greater than the Duke of the Portuguese Empire! In Schvira's view, the stronger the country, the greater the corresponding title. The Count is equivalent to a provincial-level official. A province in the Ming Dynasty is much larger than the entire Portugal!

Schvira said excitedly: "I am willing, I am willing, thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Zheng Chenggong next to him couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Although Zhu Cijiu had already warned him when he came and stood there and was not allowed to speak, the foreigner said too awkwardly. He felt really uncomfortable when he heard it. He couldn't help but correct it: "I should say thank you to the emperor."

Shivera was stunned when he heard this. He always thought that there was a little eunuch standing next to him. Unexpectedly, this little guy dared to interrupt. Then he might not be a little eunuch. Who is this? Shivera looked at Zheng Chenggong in confusion. Why did he feel so familiar? He thought about it, Nikola! Yes, I have heard Nikola say that his eldest son is deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor and is living in the palace with His Majesty the Emperor.

So, Schvira asked tentatively: "Are you the eldest son of King Nicholas?"

Zheng Chenggong rolled his eyes and said proudly: "You should say, I am going to see His Highness the Prince!"

When Schvira heard this, he knew that he was the eldest son of the Nicholas family. He quickly followed Zheng Chenggong's wishes and bowed and said, "I met His Highness the Prince."

Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yeah, this is almost the same."

Now he was satisfied, Zhu Cijiu was dissatisfied and told you boy not to speak, why are you fucking here?

He coughed dryly and said majesticly: "Earl Shivira, I wonder if you have time tomorrow?"

What could Schweila do? He came to curry favor with Zhu Cijing. He quickly replied: "I have time tomorrow."

It was so comfortable to hear this, and Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Cijiu rolled his eyes angrily. This was meeting with a foreign envoy. This kid was all here to cause trouble for him. He really shouldn't have let this kid come.

Zhu Cijiu glanced at Shi Weila and found that he did not have a strange expression. Perhaps in the eyes of foreigners, the prince could be a little casual in front of the emperor. Zhu Cijiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I will go to inspect the trained new army tomorrow. I wonder if Count Shi Weila is interested in accompanying me?"

He did not make a temporary decision. He did go to Zunhua tomorrow. One is to see the training of the Tianxiong Army and the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards, and the other is to win people's hearts. Tomorrow it will be a Lantern Festival disaster. The Emperor will visit them in person during the Lantern Festival. How can they not be moved?

Now Schvira is here, so he naturally wants to take him to see him. He has been showing his force in front of Schvira, just to let him see the power of the Ming Dynasty so that he can go back to promote it. Portugal is now ruled by Spain. They all want to rebel and restore the country, so they naturally have to find powerful allies everywhere to let them see the power of the Ming Dynasty. They will naturally try their best to curry favor with each other, and then there will be more benefits.

Schvira had already seen the Emperor's Imperial Guard last time, which was so shocking. When he went back to brag, he received unanimous praise in the aristocratic circle of restored countries. This time he had such a good opportunity, so he naturally had to follow him. In this way, he could continue to brag again. The stronger the Ming Empire, the higher his status in the aristocratic circle, you must know that the ally of the Ming Empire was brought by him, and this was his greatest political capital.

Thinking of this, Schvira said excitedly: "I am interested, and I am willing to accompany His Majesty to inspect the army."
