Chapter 400 99 Preparations for the Venice Canton Fair

Located next to the Major Sect Church of San Marco, the main island of Venice, the 4 Seasons Hotel Venice is the most upscale hotel in Venice. It is very close to the special adviser’s residence and not far from the commercial pier, but there is a special canal that separates the Commerce District. The hustle and bustle of the city provides a convenient means of transportation to these areas.

Therefore, the regency (set tào) room on the top floor of this hotel has always been the first choice for foreign heads of state.

Although Harna is not the head of state, as the personal secretary and plenipotentiary of the regent, she is still eligible to live here.

However, this hotel was handed over to Harna as part of Aoweizi’s management 3 years ago, so it became her own property.

The original Doge (set tào) room was also renamed the Regent (set tào) room at that time. The interior was well renovated. The ancient Roman style was replaced by a stronger Gothic style, and the Venetian Doge’s room was removed Several portraits of castles in the mountains of Switzerland were added to the portrait.

Recovering the birthplace of the Habsburg family from the Swiss Confederation Habs Castle is a major martial arts of the Regent Ladislaus. At the same time, it does not cause the Venetians to resent too much. It can be described as a very careful selection.

Of course, if she moved in this time, the Venice government, that is, Li Te’s special adviser, would still pay her room rate according to the normal market.

So it is really very pleasant.

“That drink is chargeable, that would be the best!” Harna drank a glass of “Tranquil Harbor” wine, in a very happy mood, without saving money at all.

Although Silvia recorded various prices in advance, so it was not possible to increase prices temporarily, but Harna was also very satisfied. The price of wine in the room was more than three times more expensive than the retail price on the market.

And what makes Harna even more happy is that the Austrian Regent Ladislaus actually came to Venice with her. The Czech rebels are not at all so serious, at least not so serious in recent months, according to Hal Na knows.

There have been several demonic attacks in Poland this year.

Krakow, the capital of Poland, is not far from the Austrian border. There is one of the largest salt mines in Europa. It is in serious competition with the Austrian-controlled Salzburg salt mine. Although it is taxed heavily, it is due to the border between the two countries. The Vistula River is difficult to completely blockade, so smuggling is very rampant, and combating Polish salt smuggling has always been a major event for Austrian intelligence agencies and anti-smuggling teams.

This year, the task of work on the Austrian border has been greatly reduced, because there have been several accidents in the salt mines in Krakow, which caused heavy casualties and severely reduced production. The root cause has reduced the smuggling capacity of the Poles. Work, you can be sure that demons have invaded the salt mine several times.

This is not good for Poland, but it is good for the situation in Austria, especially the Czech Republic.

The source of the counter-current in Bohemia and other places is of course the long-standing Czech culture. Although this branch of the Western Slavs is the most severely Germanized Western Slavs, it is still Slavs after all. For Ladislaus’s Latin, Of course, there will be a backlash in the German mixed education and the action against Czech history and myth.

However, the external support of Denmark and Poland is also very important. These two countries, especially Poland, the Western Slavic country, have repeatedly used various (yin yīn) motives to destroy the stability and unity of the Holy Roman Empire and the great duchy of Austria. ) Conspired to prevent the Czech nation from integrating into the German family. Now, because of the loss of all satellites to Poland, demonic activities have greatly increased. Of course, its influence on the Czech Republic has been reduced.

In addition, the martial arts of Ladislaus drove the Ottomans far south of Belgrade on the Eastern Front. Therefore, the Czech region did not need him to appease himself this year, but could participate in the Venice Canton Fair in a low-key manner.

“Where did my cousin go?” She asked a maid. Ladislaus is Harna’s cousin, and this time he came by the code name “Cousin”.

“Cousin said that he took the black guard to the city to see the people’s sentiments. It should be to see what the people think of Aowei’s support and the Vienna-Venice unity.” This maid is Harna’s confidant, so he investigated. She pulled down Dislaus’s thoughts, but what she discovered was very sensitive, so she lowered her voice and said, “I think he was reading a letter in the morning. It was a Venetian merchant who persuaded the Royal Highness to ban Venice as soon as possible. Some necessary government agencies are handed over to Vienna for unified management.”

“There are such Venetians?” Hannah was slightly surprised. The Venetian public opinion she saw was very opposed to Aowei Hebang.

Harna was waiting to ask again, when suddenly she saw from the balcony that her cousin had returned through the hotel garden.

The regent with an aristocratic top hat held up his head ( A confident and arrogant guard. As soon as the guard walked into the hotel, he eagerly took out a hat and put it on. The hat was covered with a beautiful half-meter-long bird feather. Expose identity.

From the distance of her eldest cousin’s steps, Harna can see that his mood is not too good. Is the opinion polls not satisfactory?

“Cousin, I have already met Lit and Silvia. They promised a guaranteed price of 30000.” Hannah waited for Ladislaus to walk into the inner room, and immediately reported one in a rather brisk tone. The good news is, “Taxes and auction commissions are exempted, and even if the guaranteed reserve price is exceeded, Lit and the others are still loyal to Austria.”

Although it was arguing (very tǐng) in person, it was shown to a few Austrian maids. Harna herself and Lit Chamber of Commerce have a very professional relationship. People argue with reason, but she should be honored. Quite a few, how can you give people eye drops?

“Well, you did a good job.” Ladislaus heard the news with a smile on his serious face. This has reached his psychological price. Any extra money is extra. “But still To actively promote the magic of this treasure, you know how difficult the battle we went through in order to get him.”

“Yes, yes, I will work hard during this period of time, and I will definitely sell this thing at a high price.” Harna is not very serious about this. Her cousin always says that she is fighting this time every time she comes back from a long distance. Endlessly, after experiencing countless dangers, I almost couldn’t come back, even at a loss. “Then you buy some good equipment this time. The price at the Venice Canton Fair is quite reasonable.”

“Ai, there are so many places to spend money.” Ladislaus shook his head.

Although Bohemia and other provinces where Czechs live in large numbers are not very noisy this year, there are still many places where Austrian Duchy spends money, not to mention that Ladislaus also participates in plane adventures, so all kinds of very Good equipment, in addition to listening to public opinion, it is also very important to buy good goods this time in Venice.

“Then you don’t want to spend money in the world of Berry, now it’s enough to stop the evil spirits.” Harna put hot water for Ladislaus, “and the Mediterranean fleet and the attack on Crete You can slow down the investment in the island, and the intelligence network established in Egypt is not necessary.”

Usually, Ladislaus must have heard these words of Hannah. The personal secretary is not completely incapable of interfering in the country’s affairs, but he must be very cautious.

But today is not rare to leave the office in Vienna, this is the whisper between the cousin and cousin, let’s talk about the important reserve price negotiated with Li Te, so the cousin rarely explained to the cousin: “Spain is withdrawing, Osman did not It is completely restored, the Eastern Mediterranean has a rare opportunity, money must be spent at this time, and will Wood from Crete also come this time?”

“Yes, Sylvia said that he might want to purchase some high-quality Rare Items, and he is also a big buyer of high-quality berries.” Hannah saw that the water temperature was almost up, and poured a glass of ice wine.

“Sweet Party.” Ladislaus muttered after taking a sip.

“What?” Harna did not hear clearly.

“It’s okay, you continue.” Ladislaus waved, motioning to pour another glass.

“But the Rare Item you brought this time is (very tǐng) expensive, and people from a small rural place probably can’t afford it.” In Harna’s world, outside of Paris, Vienna, Venice, and Liguria The places are all in the countryside.

“That’s not necessarily.” Ladislaus said to Harna that many rarely, “I tell you, a character like Wood who has improved so quickly must be a frequent traveler, no matter how expensive Rare Item is. He will also desperately buy one or two, spend money desperately, and survive when he is out, and he still has money.”

“Look at what you said, is it so powerful?” Hannah didn’t believe it, but was praising her cousin.

“Look at it.” Ladislaus was obviously satisfied with Harna.
