"This is very bad news, the Ming Kingdom does not allow us to exist independently, and we also have to find out the assets stored by the nobles of various European countries with us!"
Representatives of the Swiss cantons had gathered in Zurich to discuss how to deal with the Ming Kingdom, which had surrounded his Switzerland.At the meeting, Marquis Sennard first explained the intentions of the Great Ming.The representatives of the nobility of the states were very disappointed when they heard this.Because they are planning to monopolize the wealth stored in Switzerland by the nobles of Western countries, after all, the nobles of Western countries have now become prisoners of the Ming Dynasty.For more than 100 years, the aristocracy of Western countries has been transferring their wealth to Switzerland because of the Thirty Years' War and the dispute between Protestants and Catholics in China.Thus, it can be said that Switzerland has a wealth that Europe has plundered and accumulated from all over the world over the centuries.That, of course, is a lot of money.The aristocracy of the Swiss cantons, who were the caretakers of this wealth, were naturally very greedy."
In addition, to make matters worse, the general from the Ming Kingdom said that the distribution of the wealth of the nobles of the various countries in our Switzerland can only be disposed of by their imperial court."
Sennard said."
Ridiculous!
We have the right to protect the existence of our customers, and only the customers themselves can take away this wealth!
”A Swiss nobleman named Zhoger immediately objected."
That's right!
This is the property of the customers, and the Ming court has no right to distribute it, so it can only be kept by us temporarily, which is the right granted to us by the customers. ”Another Swiss nobleman named Sonaban also retorted."
But we don't have the ability to resist the will of the Ming Kingdom, and now all around my Switzerland have been annexed by the Ming Kingdom, and we have been completely surrounded!"
And the more sober nobleman Gayuke poured cold water on these nobles.But he himself was also very disappointed, and therefore pointed to Senard: "To say, all this is because of your false advice, Marquis de Senard!"
It was you who suggested that our Swiss cantons remain neutral and not participate in the Grand Alliance, so that our European Grand Alliance would not have enough troops and would be defeated by the Ming Army!
If we were willing to join the Great Alliance at that time, then when the Ming army carried out a blitzkrieg against France, we would have sent troops to rescue France, and maybe we could have avoided more than 300,000 Great Alliance troops from being surrounded by the Ming army!
So much so that now, there is not a single country that can help us. ”Sennard spread his hands helplessly: "This, you also agreed at that time, in addition, the nobles of various European countries did not refuse our neutrality, even at the most critical moment, they did not come to us, maybe they also fantasized that they could successfully get back their private property in the future, but no one thought that they would be judged, and we would also be deprived of the management of wealth." ”"But I was against neutrality."
As he spoke, Gayuk pointed to Sennard and the other Swiss nobles: "So, you are all short-sighted, very short-sighted!"
”"Alright!
We did not say that we must surrender to the Ming army and hand over our management of the wealth of the nobles of various European countries, we will fight to the death against the Ming army for the benefit of our customers!
”Sonaban replied."
This may be the only option, our Switzerland is a mountainous country with complex terrain, so we can rely on the terrain to fight against the Ming army, and maybe force the Ming army to be willing to compromise because they are not willing to bear too many casualties."
Tswagger said at this time."
Forget it, now everyone in the Ming Kingdom should know that my Switzerland has a lot of wealth of European nobles, as long as the emperor is willing to take a small part of the wealth stored in our Switzerland as a bounty, I believe that many officers and soldiers of the Ming army will not be afraid of the excessive number of casualties, but I am afraid that it will be more active than attacking other European countries, we should not underestimate the power of money."
Sennard replied.As soon as Sennard said this, these Swiss nobles were also discouraged.Sennard then said: "In my opinion, it is better to negotiate with the Ming Kingdom, does the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom not advocate that the land of the serfs should be deprived of the land of the serfs, and that the serfs should be given freedom and the protection of personal legitimate wealth, so the Emperor of the Ming State should recognize our right to manage the wealth of the nobles of various European countries that exist here." ”…… As early as before Zhu Cizhuo left Beijing, Zhu Youxiao convened his ministers to discuss how to deal with the legal and illegal private property stored in Switzerland by the nobles of various European countries for a hundred years."
One of the banners we used to annex Europe was to recognize the commercial property of the local people, and to collect taxes to protect it, and it was really inappropriate to take it directly."
So Plug Yinxi said first.And Wen Tiren said with a smile: "But this is the accumulation of wealth accumulated by the nobles of the Xiyi countries over the past hundred years of looting the world, it is a big piece of fat, if it is not attributed to the imperial court, but used for the development of the country, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Is it really going to be cheap for those Swiss banks, then this is a terrible thing, and it will even pose a challenge to the financial stability of my Ming Dynasty, which is not conducive to the control of the global economy by my Ming Dynasty. ”"Then only their own property shall be kept, but all the property deposited in Switzerland by the nobles of all European countries shall be regarded as illegal property and shall be confiscated in its entirety, for the simple reason that we shall only recognize the wealth of the nobles of all countries within the territory of their original country."
Lu Xiangsheng suggested at this time."
Then this is not a favorable judgment, what if these Swiss nobles take the opportunity to manipulate and transfer the wealth stored in Switzerland by the nobles of European countries to their own names, the account books are in their hands, and they will naturally change them as they want."
Zhang Huangyan replied.Zhu Youxiao said at this time: "I have a way. ”"Your Majesty, please."
The ministers hurriedly asked."
Refuse to recognize the classification of all wealth by the Swiss state, and only the standard given by me is Ming, and this standard is based on the minimum assets of the Swiss locals, and when the time comes, only the assets of the minimum personal assets of all Swiss people will be reserved, and the rest will be used as national funds!"
Zhu Youxiao said."
What if the Swiss aristocracy divided all their wealth equally and raised the minimum level of assets for everyone in their own country?"
Plug Yinxi asked.Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "Does Aiqing think they can do it?"
”"I think I can't!
The contradiction between the rich and the poor is not something that can be bridged by donating half of my family property to you. ”Wen Tiren replied at this time."
In this way, if Switzerland can really achieve the wealth of everyone, I will admire it, and I am willing to earn back their share of wealth by means of commodity trade."
Zhu Youxiao made up his mind."
Yes!"
…… After Zhu Cizhuo arrived in Europe, he sent people to bring this will of the Ming court to the nobles of the Swiss states.The nobility of the Swiss cantons thus met again."
Ming Guo is too domineering like this, why don't you recognize our wealth classification, instead of setting a new standard for us!"
Tszhege said with great dissatisfaction."
Hey, accept it, it's useless to talk about it now."
Gayuk said."
Yes, the only way now is to hurry up and let my Swiss cantons not have a single poor man!
Divide all the wealth in your hands and raise the minimum amount of assets for all of my Swiss people. ”Sennard made a suggestion at this time, and said: "Only in this way can the Ming Kingdom allow me to have more wealth in Switzerland." ”"No, I don't want to, I don't want to give wealth to the poor, how can those poor get our wealth for no reason, why should we share the family property that we have worked hard for generations?!"

Sonaban said in great pain, and then, in great excitement, he slammed his fist into the table, and there was a thud in the hall."
Okay, we accept the greed of the Ming Kingdom, they may be entitled to share in the profits as the victors, we can share them with it, but what qualifications do those poor people have, we can just give them wages!"
Tszhege continued."
You guys think this is a game that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom likes to play, no way, who makes him have more power than God now, we only have the qualifications to obey, and for those poor people, they are just the beneficiaries of this game."
Sennard replied."
Games?"
Sonaban sat back."
That's right, game, this Emperor of the Ming Kingdom named Zhu Youxiao, he is really an unpredictable emperor, what he has done, it is really incredible, who would have thought that he would neither plunder the wealth of Switzerland in the most primitive way, nor allow us to continue to keep our wealth in the most forgiving way, but set a minimum asset standard for us, and then only prepare us to keep this standard of wealth, which is simply like a carpenter with obsessive-compulsive disorder, requiring the wood he processes must be flat enough."
Sennard smiled helplessly."
I agree with the Marquis de Senard, ladies and gentlemen, we have no choice, and now it is imperative that there can be no more poor people in the Swiss people in the cantons, and that we need to send out the wealth and provide the minimum assets of the Swiss."
Gayuk chimed in."
Well, it seems like that's all we can do."
Ci and Ge also said helplessly.Sonaban also nodded and said: "Okay, then divide the wealth to those poor people, it's a big deal, I will find a way to recover it in the future, and now I can only satisfy the carpenter emperor of the Ming Kingdom first." ”Then the representatives of the nobility of the Swiss cantons agreed, and said they would do so.Sennard was still worried that the representatives of the nobility of the states would be reluctant to do so, so he had to advocate again: "You must send all the wealth as soon as possible, as soon as possible, including the wealth stored by the nobles of all European countries in our Switzerland, and send it to the poor when you see them, and you must not leave anything out." ”So Sennard did it first.He and Sonaban, as nobles in Zurich, then took out a large amount of gold and silver from their family's treasury, and packed them on a carriage, a total of twenty large carriages, and then they themselves rode in a large carriage and walked to the countryside outside the city with their own mercenaries.They first saw a farmer living in a small wooden house.The farmer was a middle-aged man who looked dirty.Sennard first asked the middle-aged man: "Excuse me, what's your name?"
”The middle-aged man was already afraid when he saw Sennard dressed luxuriously and coming out with such a large team, so he said a little timidly: "Lawrence." ”"Mr.
Lawrence, how many assets your family has, can you tell me conveniently, rest assured, we are not trying to take your assets, but to help you."
Sennard asked with a smile.Lawrence didn't expect that this nobleman, who was obviously from the city, would suddenly come to him and take the initiative to talk to him, and said that he wanted to help himself, but he was also very flattered and said: "This, what you see, is all my assets." ”Sennard looked at the dilapidated cabin and felt far worse than the kennel where his dog lived, at least without the soft blankets.So Sennard gave Sonaban a look.Sonaban had a heavy box carried for Senard.Sennard had the box placed in front of the middle-aged man, and commanded, "Open him." ”Lawrence opened the box with some trepidation, and was immediately dazzled by the bright white and dazzling box of silver coins inside: "I have never seen so many silver coins in my life!"
”"Now these coins are yours."
Sennard laughed.Lawrence looked at Sennard in surprise: "This old man, what you said is true?"
”Sennard nodded and smiled, "It's true, it's all yours now." ”Lawrence still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help waving his hand and said, "I, I don't dare to accept it, what do you want me to do?"
”"You don't need to do anything, you just need to say that these silver coins are yours when the Ming people come."
Sennard said with a kind smile."
Remember, be sure to say it's your own."
Sonaban also reminded him.Lawrence nodded overjoyed: "Good, good!"
”Next, Sennard and Sonaban continued to the countryside.It wasn't long before Sennard and Sonaban met a village teacher named Lenica.The village teacher, Lenica, was also poor and lived in a simple cabin.But Lenicado asked, "Excuse me, why did I do this, why did you give me so much wealth?"
”Sennard told Lenica the reason.Lenica glanced at Sennard and said, "Then I refuse to accept your wealth!"
”"Why, we gave you a box of silver coins for nothing, and you didn't want to, are you willing to be so poor for the rest of your life?"
Sonaban asked in dismay.Lenica sneered and replied, "Because I'd rather be poor myself than want you to continue to have so much wealth." ”"You!"
Sonaban angrily pointed at Lenica.Sennard gradually put away his smile, and he suddenly realized that this game did not seem to be as simple as he thought.Lenica said and said to his wife, Mitis, "Today we will go to the town to buy some beef and come back to eat, and make the family more impoverished before the Ming people come back, I believe you have my back, right, dear." ”"Okay."
Mitis replied with a smile and said, "I'll go get the money." ”Sennard and Sonaban watched as a box of silver coins was abandoned by the Lennica family and walked away."
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like money?"
Sonaban was stunned.
