Chapter 153 Joanna Giovanni (Part 1)

"How widely this news spread now?" Dmitry helped him analyze: "If there are not many people who know, we can think of some ways."

But Tuohuan frowned, thought for a while, and turned to ask Guo Kang: "Do we really need to keep it secret?"

"Ah?" Guo Kang didn't know what he was thinking about again.

"The Venetians can keep it confidential because they are not big, and it's just that island, of course it's easy to keep it confidential." Tuo Huan reminded him: "But you didn't tell me before that our idea is to mobilize more people to study and produce,

The more people involved, is it easier to improve and break through?”

"We have a great demand for all kinds of glass, so we must open many workshops. With more people participating, it is impossible to keep confidential." He shook his head and said, "And we have a larger number of slaves.

They may not know anything, but if someone asks about the various situations they have seen, it is easy to infer many details. We are bound to escape from slaves, so these news will be leaked sooner or later."

"If I want to say, do what these measures can be done, and there is no need to force others. Our biggest advantage over Venice is that we have so many people? Even if they learn it, we can easily crush them with our output

.”

"For profit, their factories have to join our workshop system, and their chambers of commerce can only obey our scheduling. We don't even need to compete with them. At that time, they beg us to lead them to cooperate."

"So, brother, you should promote the publicity and lectures, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing." He patted Guo Kang on the shoulder and said, "Compared with the spread of control technology, controlling money and saber is more important than controlling the spread of control technology.

Stable.”

Guo Kang thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so he nodded.

Although Tuohuan seems uncontrollable, he is still reliable at critical moments.

Moreover, unlike the royal education in the Central Plains, the Khanate of the Grassland attaches great importance to the cultivation of business capabilities. Being able to do business can be said to be a necessary skill for a qualified Khan. Even those who are born in a wild way like Zizhang are no exception.

In a special position, business is even more important.

The Khanate is divided into internal and external treasurys, and a large part of the internal government funds are the workshop industries accumulated by the Khan family and the caravans directly under the Khan Family. Most of these industries bring huge profits every year.

It should be used to sponsor public facilities and welfare projects, as well as to provide additional rewards to those who have been meritorious - in fact, this is one of the important ways for the Borjicinus family to maintain the legitimacy of their own rule.

So when I think about it this way, it seems normal for Tuohuan to study these things.

"The mirror matter may be now and needs to be kept confidential for a while." Tuo Huan was still thinking: "It takes time to select the site and build our workshop. When this time passes, there will be no big problem."

"Of course, I'm not afraid of everyone's disclosure," he added. "We, the people who are engaged in research, are devout theologians and philosophers. And what about Venice? They are all businessmen. I believe, compared to

It’s easier for them to bribe.”

"Oh yes, and there." He remembered something: "Last time I sent a batch of mirrors, who did you give them?"

"It's just an acquaintance and a patron." Guo Kang said: "My mother, my sister, your mother, your sister, Li Xuanying's two sisters, Li Anning and her cousin... Uh, I'll go back and take a look at the list. Anyway, we'll do it.

All of his acquaintances, except for "Shi Zetian", were given."

"Actually, it's okay to give it to her." Tuo Huan thought for a while and said, "After all, he is from the Shi family. Unless he makes a public fall and declares that she is not his own family, he still needs to give it to her. As for what they think about it themselves, then

It's their business, we don't care, just follow the common sense."

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that she said she doesn't want it." Guo Kang corrected.

"Ah?" Tuo Huan looked surprised.

"She thought it was too sissy and didn't want it. She also said that this kind of family gift was meaningless. She would have to make some good things by herself in the future and ask me to change it." Guo Kang said with a lot of laughter and cry.

"This is the first time I have seen a girl who doesn't like this mirror." Tuo Huan showed a look of giving up: "Forget it, then just pretend I didn't say it, and don't care about her."

"But isn't this good?" Dmitry began to quote the theory of the sages again: "Plato believes that if a woman's soul is the same as a man, then she will be perfect. From a philosophical point of view, this kind of woman can

He is the perfect person.”

"Do these Greeks stare at their brothers every day, and want women to be their brothers too?" Tuohuan said in confusion.

"This is philosophy." Another monk also came to help, trying to reason with him.

Guo Kang quickly stepped forward and said that there was still some serious matters, so he finally asked them to stop discussing.

"You can continue talking." Tuo Huan said to Guo Kang: "Who else?"

"There is also the patron of the last time." Guo Kang told him: "The church representative is Master Wang, this is fine; the donation from Khan was given by you, and this is fine. President John raised a part of it, and this is also fine.

Your own people.”

"In addition, it is the donation from some merchants. Several Greek wealthy merchants raised funds to donate, but they only hope to obtain the right to sell goods in the future and are not very interested in technology, so there is no problem."

"If there is any more... Joanna Beach also donated a sum, which is the daughter of Ms. Maria of Hungary." Guo Kang explained: "You may not be familiar with me, but she knows my adopted father,

It is probably because of this relationship that comes to help.”

"Oh, that Italian who opened a bank, right?" Tuo Huan thought for a while and said.

"Yes. I've asked it specifically before." Guo Kang nodded: "Her father is Giovanni Di Beach, and he is a ruined nobleman from Florence."

"At that time, the conflicts between Florence were sharp, and the great nobles, the little nobles and the lower-class citizens fought very seriously. Giovanni's cousin was the representative of the little nobles, and played a major role in helping the rebellion of the combing workers, thus mastering the city

Power. But the good times didn't last long, and not long after that, he was overthrown."

"Is it the citizens who dislike him?" Dmitry asked.

"No." Guo Kang said: "It was the great nobles who came to their senses and found that this man was going to affect their power, so they killed the donkey and drove him away."

"so……"

"Yes, after he lost power, the whole family could only run away. Giovanni was implicated and did not dare to get involved in the political situation in Florence. He did some business between the city-states. Later, in order to import goods, he

I came to us again and met Maria while walking up and down." Guo Kang continued.

"It is probably because both of them are depressed and have no choice but to leave their hometown, so they have some common language. In short, they decided to get married in the end. Khanting thought it was good, so he ignored it."

"Some years ago, Giovanni's bank sponsored the return of the Roman bishop, but he bet correctly and made a fortune. He took his son back to Italy. This daughter... seems to have traveled around before, and came back last year.

Accompany your mother and run the business here.”

"Anyway, this guy is quite rich." Guo Kang said: "What I told you before is that she donated a brother's antenna."
