"First of all, it is the problem of the Pope. Since you have driven them away, it is definitely not appropriate to let them come back. It is better to surrender directly. But if you don't give in at all, the church cannot come down. As a Christian emperor, it is not a big deal that you are always expelled by the church. It is better to give in this way. You give back the city of Rome to the Pope and compensate the church for a sum of money. It is considered as the cost of purchasing other territory of the Pope."

"Of course, the church will not agree to this condition alone. Even if the church is happy, Louis and Henry will interfere. So there is another additional condition that comes up with this condition, that is, you send troops to the Iberian Peninsula to help the church fight this jihad and help them block the Berbers' offensive together. But it is just a block, or a little further south. I think robbing Torredo and Valencia is enough to show your sincerity."

"In addition, the Venetian city-state is also a big problem, but this problem is easy for me, because they are merchants, and the one I fear the least is merchants. You don't have to come forward to this matter, let Carl be your plenipotent representative and negotiate with them. Carl holds a big stick in one hand, which is the warship he owns. If the Venetian merchant insists on going against you, then all their merchant ships on the sea will become the targets of attacks by unknown pirate ships. You only need to provide Carl with a few hidden supply ports. If they are reasonable, Carl will provide them with a long-term large order, exchange them with sugar and rum for a black oil produced from the east coast of the sea, and also give the monopoly of sugar and rum to the Venetians."

"I think they will figure it out clearly. Without their secret trouble, the German princes will not openly stand on your opposite side, and you will still be their emperor. In this way, the Pope and Louis will lose a lot of help, and they cannot attack the peninsula with the power of the Frank. So they have to sit down and negotiate with you, and they will seriously consider the previous two conditions."

Hong Tao always takes action in a series of ways, taking into account all the interests that can be considered, and then grasping their main demands. If you can be fully satisfied, try to satisfy them as much as possible, and if you cannot be fully satisfied, you are partially satisfied. The game between countries is actually a matter of interest distribution, and the business between merchants is the same as the same thing. As long as it is not a lifetime feud for several lifetimes, there will generally not be too many personal grudges.

Because the country itself is an interest group, no one will harm his own interests for the sake of someone's hatred. Of course, this requires that he is more capable and be able to bring out the interests that make the other party really move. Don't fool people with drizzle. Hong Tao happened to have this ability. After several days of ideological struggle and calculation, he decided to vomit some blood by himself and Lafredrich II.

The reason is very simple. He needs Europe right now and can no longer follow the original plan. If he wants to establish a maritime route across the Mediterranean, there must be an important fulcrum in the middle. Carl Fort alone is not enough to support it, and the Italian Peninsula is just right. So Fredrich II's value suddenly increased, and he changed from a friend to a stakeholder. This is very reasonable, one time and another, who made him occupy this place? A friend of his own, the emperor who owes him, must meet his needs than another emperor closer to the church.

"I'm very curious. You've only been here three or four times in total, but why do you know so well about the situation here? Don't tell me that Carl told you, he doesn't know much about you! I also admit that Miss Jiang is a very smart woman, but she doesn't have this kind of vision." After Fredrich II came out of his crazy and frustrated mood, his mind immediately became useful. After hearing Hong Tao's big set of punches, he entered a politician state. If this guy was not a serious schizophrenia patient, Hong Tao would dare to snatch his eyes out. In this emperor, you can see several completely different personalities in a short time.

"Books are friends of human beings. Do you still remember Said? He is now my Arab consultant, and the others are the same. And I used a large bait to leave them in the East and promised to build a real university for them to find scholars from all over the world, so that they can study any questions they are interested in, without worrying about money. William, merge your University of Naples and my University together. This thing should be a toy for a wealthy emperor like me. You, a poor emperor, can't afford to play with me. How about letting me take you with you? Hehehe..." Hong Tao gave an ambiguous answer to Frederick II's question, and was not worried that he would continue to ask, because what followed was another thing that made him more heartwarming.

"...God! I hate you! You are a thief. You stole all my scholars! You also tempted them with money. This is immoral. You can't do this!" Sure enough, Fredrich II immediately changed from the state of a politician again and became a scholar. He no longer thought about Hong Tao's problems. He jumped up from the chair, grabbed Hong Tao's clothes, and spit out the stars and spit out Hong Tao's face.

"Hahahahaha... Although I am an emperor, I am not as powerful as you, I am richer than you. I just did this. You can bite me to death! Okay, okay, let go of my clothes. It is very expensive. You don't want to take the opportunity to steal the buttons of my clothes, right? William, don't worry, we two families can communicate with each other's scholars, so the research speed is faster and it will not harm you at all."

"By the way, I brought you a small gift, a very interesting gift. Don't you like to dissect the human body? This thing can help you a lot. Dissecting the corpse alone cannot solve all the problems. If necessary, you have to do it on the living person. Don't get me wrong. I didn't let you dissect the living person. I mean you can try to treat some seriously ill patients. Anyway, they are dead, so why not use it as your study material. Maybe there is still a chance of life. This should not go against the will of your Lord, and you don't really believe it."

"The liquid in this bottle can make them feel most of the pain, just like falling asleep. They won't know how you want to cut the knife. After you have done it, I will teach you to sew their wounds. In a short while, their wounds will be healed. Except for a scar, they are exactly the same as good people. I promise!" Hong Tao likes the feeling of using money to smash people, especially when he smashes an emperor, which makes him dizzy. But he can't just smash people. After smashing, he has to give him a piece of candy, so that he can stretch his head and wait for his next time to smash. He wants to let himself smash himself willingly, and he has to laugh after smashing and not cry!

"You are telling the truth!" After hearing Hong Tao's introduction, watching Hong Tao take out a small bottle from his small leather bag on his waist, Frederick II's breathing immediately became heavy, and he heard more seriously than when he just mentioned how to solve his current predicament. This emperor is really not a good emperor, and his interest in the country is far less important than studying it.

"When we discuss your problem, we can go to the test immediately. You provide someone, I will teach you step by step. I have tried this thing and ensure it works!" Hong Tao had already planned to make Frederick II a medical apprentice. Now he is just seducing him with ether, and he can't do it or not. Moreover, after the research, he has to tell himself the results first, which is no different from calling a fool.

"...You are indeed sent by the devil. You can use your method to lure others to sell your soul. Carl is tempted by you, and I can't withstand this kind of test. It seems that the Pope is right. I am not a devout Christian at all. I should confess..." Frederick II was not stupid. He knew that Hong Tao was taking advantage of his weaknesses, but he knew in his heart that it was one thing, and whether he could hold it up was another.

"Don't talk nonsense, you have never believed in God at all, and you will not listen to God if you confess." Hong Tao shook the small bottle in his hand again.

"Okay, let's try as you said, but I still have one question, where does the sugar and rum exchanged with the Venetians come from? Jiang's warehouse does not have so much inventory, and the Venetians have a big appetite, so they won't like that." In fact, Frederick II had made a decision long ago. He is a dead horse now, and he dares to try it as long as it is not outrageous, but before trying, he still wants to figure out the whole story.

"Carl has it. He will talk to the Venetians about the number of issues, which will definitely make them moved, right? Carl!" Hong Tao put his finger at Carl with confidence.

"Ah! I, I... Oh, I have..." Carl was almost asleep. He couldn't understand what Hong Tao wanted to do. For a while, the Venetians and the Iberian Peninsula didn't even have the chance to interrupt. Hong Tao suddenly pointed, but he hadn't reacted yet. He wanted to ask Hong Tao where he had so much sugar and rum, but when he saw Hong Tao winking at him, he had to follow Hong Tao. After that, he had to pray in his heart that Hong Tao wouldn't lie to his cousin to play. This was a national event, not a joke.

"My dear cousin, you treat me much better than him. Can you tell me who loves you the most, where did your sugar and rum come from? Where are they stored?" Fredrich II didn't believe that Carl would have so many pretty goods.

"Of course I don't, but he has it! He has everything you want, I am his transporter... By the way, I'm still responsible for collecting the accounts. Whoever doesn't pay will hit anyone with a cannon!" Carl said the truth. He had probably guessed where the sugar and rum that Hong Tao mentioned came from. But when he thought of his brothers all becoming the things in this guy's pocket, he couldn't help but feel sad for Frederick II. In fact, it was indeed the same as my cousin said. This guy is a demon who came out of hell, and he specialized in calculating people with various temptations. Don't let him get on, don't run away if you get on.
