Chapter 752 A large income

"If you haven't thought about it, I think you might have to think about it carefully! The Venetians' maritime power is quite powerful, but..."

Louis IX stopped here, obviously not for any benefit. He just wanted to hear the voice of Conrad IV seeking advice.

Although Conrad IV, he does not have the character of refusing to bend like Zhao Fubo. Of course, Zhao Fubo also has capital for refusing to bend at this moment. After all, compared with beheading, most people like to bend over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you not to keep it in hiding again, just tell me, you know..."

"Okay, okay!"

Louis IX pretended to be unable to bear his plea, shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"It's not difficult, that is, your water surface power is stronger than him. Although Fu Bo said that his navy will support you, you probably must have enough power. Otherwise, how much power will it take to defend such a large Mediterranean!"

Zhao Fubo and Conrad IV all knew this, that is, Conrad IV had to spend some money to purchase a batch of warships. And the number was probably not small. At least several deserts in Jerusalem and Crete must be defended by warships.

"I think you are right! But I..."

Conrad IV frowned. Although Crete really became a wholesale commodity place for the Mediterranean Love and the Aegean Sea as expected by him and Zhao Fubo, there is no doubt that the development here will appear very rapidly, and its income will even exceed that of Jerusalem.

But now, money is really not enough for Conrad IV. But he can't say, "I have no money anymore." After purchasing 5,000 people's equipment, his money is almost gone.

"I think this is not a problem. Your father is definitely willing to pay for the warships. Also, don't worry about the pope-loving pope parties he is fighting against now, I guess those guys will meet those they are afraid of!"

Louis IX easily solved the problem for Conrad IV. His father would pay for it in the fleet, and his father's enemy was naturally Zhao Fubo, the son-in-law who showed his eagerness. However, the smile hidden in Louis IX's eyes could not escape the gaze of Wang Wentong, who was watching coldly.

"This is a smart emperor. While he resolved these things for the young emperor, he paved the way for himself!"

Although Wang Wentong had to wear glasses when he was studying, he really had the skills he had guessed when he looked at people. With just one glance, he had already expected that Louis IX would purchase a large amount of army and naval equipment in the future.

At this moment, while solving the problem for Conrad IV, Zhao Fubo would have to sell him these weapons in the future. Even in terms of Louis IX's country size and status, Wang Wentong guessed that when Zhao Fubo sold things to him in the future, it would be cheaper than Conrad IV.

Zhao Fubo could not have imagined that far away. If he really had Wang Wenyuan's ability, he would not have to train him again. However, Zhao Fubo, who had received training from Gong Zi and Pearl Sprig, was very smart about commercial interests at this moment.

"Battleship, do you want me to sell the 'Qinhuang-apm' class warships to them? This is absolutely impossible. I am not enough for myself, otherwise..."

Originally, Zhao Fubo thought of using the "wind-breathing" ship to change to some small warships, but just turned around and thought that the manufacturing technology of catamarans would be spread.

"I remember Teacher Martin said that the brackets in the middle of the catamaran have undergone very scientific mechanical calculations, which is equivalent to invisibly improving their computing skills."

Of course this is not possible. Not to mention marrying a princess, even if she is a cheaper one, Zhao Fubo doesn't want Europeans to get a little shipbuilding skills. After all, he doesn't plan to plant flags in Australia and America.

"Let's do this. The manufacturing cycle of crossbows is long. Not only is the cannon expensive, but the shells are even more expensive. It's better to use a large ship as a basis to build some warships that can install stone throwers. The speed is faster than other people's ships, and the attack distance of stone throwers is not far. Even large ships can bring many soldiers, so even the Marines have it!"

Compared with Louis IX, Conrad IV was not that old. When he heard Zhao Fubo say it was expensive, he didn't even think about "Qin Huang-apm". He also thought that Zhao Fubo would not sell the things he used to him, so he immediately agreed.

"Of course, let's all wait for the result of the port official's action! In addition, two of your majesties, I'm afraid I can't help but make a sorry notification. I'm afraid I can't accompany you to Europe anymore. The things here have to stay here!"

In fact, this was the result of discussion with Zhao Fubo. He only needed to send someone his father could trust and take Zhao Fubo over there. And with Louis IX following him, I believe that his father Frederick II would not make things difficult for Zhao Fubo.

And he himself was waiting here, and he had already transferred some troops from Jerusalem. As for the security there, Zhao Fubo's men would assist in protecting it. And his own troops would complete equipment and training on Crete.

After all, as mentioned earlier, Crete's strategic position is very important. It can not only serve as a distribution center for Mediterranean goods, but also guard the gates of the Aegean Sea.

"This is no problem, so do you need an army? You know that there are quite a few people on the ship, if you need it..."

What Louis IX wanted to remind him was that if the news leaked, it might not take long to face the attack from Venice. Zhao Fubo pulled out his pipe from his mouth and solved this problem for Conrad IV.

"This is not a problem. We have ships ready-made. It is not difficult to manufacture stone throwers. First, there is a large ship, and then use the small boat here to change two. I believe the problem will not be big!"

While they were talking, the entire barracks at the port had already taken action. It should be noted that in this era, there were the most garrisons at the port. This is also why the port officials have a considerable status in Crete.

As for what he fought for the Cretans for freedom, it was actually just that. The port official Hasser hurriedly ran to the Governor's Mansion with his 150 soldiers under his jurisdiction. However, he did not intend to attack for force, and everyone knew that he had an in-depth support there.
