The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 2091: Yak's Expedition

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

Marin didn't seem to hear the ridicule from the outside world. And, to put it bluntly—what is a little ridicule in order to spread the glory of God?

Then, the Beihai State Church under its control immediately spread this "celebrity quote", which aroused the crazy worship of the people of Beihai State. Even in other countries, many devout believers were also very moved when they heard this.

In order to perform a full set of tricks, Marin also specially sent a boat to the Lapland region to pick up some chiefs to the North Sea to participate in the grand chief's enthronement ceremony. At the same time, it is also the conversion ceremony for the official acceptance of Christianity in Lapland. Because it takes time for ships to come and go. Therefore, the grand ceremony is scheduled to be held on the new year of 1517. At the same time, many countries were invited to watch the ceremony.

In addition to the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne, Marin also asked his men to make a full set of black Lich King, including the black cloak. Then, he built a platform similar to the Frozen Throne in front of the palace. Of course, there are no chains binding Bolvar and Bolvar the prisoner.

Since it is a ceremony, bgm is naturally indispensable. For this reason, Marin decided to copy the bgm of the Wrath of the Lich King cutscene in the previous life-the part of the teenager's solo solo in "Arthasmyson":

My king lives forever!

may he rule,

Forever.

may his strength,

Invincible.

...

And then there's the loop...

This sound is very ethereal, yet high-pitched and penetrating. Moreover, it reveals a very desolate feeling, which is very suitable for the identity of the king of the Northland.

In order to sing this passage well, Malin specially selected a few Frisian teenagers with good voices, and they sang solo in high notes in turn. In this way, lest a person can't stand singing for a long time.

...

However, there was an episode in the middle - Caesar actually wanted to play with Frostmourne...

Marin suddenly became angry-Nizi! What do you want to do with Frostmourne?

Although Marin believes in science, Temiao's is still a bit taboo. After all, nonsense things like the traveler have happened, so I have to believe in evil. He was afraid that Caesar, a bastard, would be tainted with the ominous aura of Frostmourne,

When the time comes, what will you do to kill yourself with this sword?

Therefore, when Caesar wanted to touch the sword, Marin kicked it, not allowing him to approach it...

Caesar was very unconvinced, and asked Marin why you could take it? Marin didn't explain, but he said in his heart-of course I can take it, my old man is not a king, and I don't need to kill my father. However, the prince cannot take this sword...

Then, he explained - this sword is the sword of the king, and the prince took it ominously...

Anyway, he won't explain that this is the "Father's Loving Son's Sword of Filial Piety"...

Except for Caesar, the other sons, Marin, were not allowed to touch the sword. Usually, just lock the sword up and send guards to guard it. It's the Helm of Domination, which is something that children can play with casually.

...

When he was free, Malin specially studied the natural conditions in Lapland and Murmansk. He found that, for now, the most suitable industries there are probably fishing and reindeer breeding. The Lapps mainly raise reindeer and sometimes fish.

But Marin knew that there would probably be a season of Chinese cabbage planting there. After all, there are two or three months of extreme daylight in summer here, the whole day is daytime, and the temperature can reach more than ten degrees. Although it is not very conducive to the production of rapeseed in Chinese cabbage, it has no effect on the growth of cabbage itself. Anyway, Marin didn't expect Chinese cabbage to produce many rapeseeds. If it doesn't work, the rapeseed is shipped from the mainland of Beihai. In this way, there is an extra vegetable on the Lapp diet. Moreover, you can also sell salt to make kimchi.

In addition to selling salt, Marin also plans to promote the cultivation of peppers in the Americas, then dry them to make chili powder, and sell them to Eastern Europeans and Lapps to add some when pickling pickles, making the cabbage more refreshing. , Moreover, in a cold place, eating spicy kimchi is super refreshing!

As for why not make chili sauce? It is difficult to save! Also bottled, easy to break. Therefore, it is better to use chili powder, just get an oil paper bag and seal it, and the shelf life is still long. Then, even if others see chili powder, they don't know what it is made of. Unlike chili sauce, the peppers are clearly visible.

In this way, Marin can brag and compare, saying that it is a precious spice, and it is not too high to ask for a high price, right?

However, it seems that there are peppers in Spain, but they have not been promoted yet. The Spaniards also only regard chili as an inferior substitute for pepper, not paying much attention to it, and only a small amount of cultivation.

Moreover, because the Indian pepper market is equally shared with Portugal, there is no shortage of "noble" spices such as Spanish pepper and ginger, and there is no need to replace them with chili. There is also comparison among nobles. If anyone uses chili instead of pepper, they will be laughed at. As for the common people, some people planted some peppers instead of expensive peppers. But in this day and age, fashion is led by the aristocracy. If the nobles don't eat chili, chili will not be popular. There is a chain of imitation of fashion trends - the nobles imitate the royal family - the rich commoners imitate the nobles - the poor imitate the rich ... and then it becomes popular among the people ...

Before chili became popular, Marin planned to make some quick money first. He decided to give the chili powder a more fascinating name-Oriental Empire Spice!

In this way, the forced price is obviously high, and it can be sold at a high price!

But there is a problem with this, that is, what to use to plow the field!

Although reindeer can pull sleds, they seem to lack the strength to plow the fields and grow Chinese cabbage. As for lining up the reindeer to pull the plow, the reindeer seems not strong enough. Moreover, the reindeer's horns are too lush, and it is easy to affect the companions on the side.

Therefore, we have to find another way!

For horse farming, it can be done, but I can't find a breed of horse that is hardy...

"No, it seems that there are horses suitable for the local area!" Marin suddenly remembered that there seemed to be horses for Iceland!

Iceland, where Icelandic horses live, has a climate similar to that of the Murmansk region, both of which have high latitudes and are affected by the warm North Atlantic Current. The temperature is not very low, but not high. There are also polar days and polar nights.

Therefore, a group of Icelandic horses can be introduced to live in Lapland. The only problem, though, is that there don't seem to be many Icelandic horses. There are at most a few thousand horses in the local area, and Marin can get hundreds of horses to Lapland at most.

Moreover, Icelandic horses are small in size, a little smaller than Mongolian horses, and are not very suitable for farming. Marin intends to vigorously breed Icelandic horses as mounts for the Lapps. As for arable land, he has a better choice - yaks!

As mentioned earlier, Marin knew that highland barley was very suitable for planting in St. Petersburg. At the same time, yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are also very suitable for breeding in alpine regions.

Yaks are particularly cold-resistant and adapt to harsh climates like snow-capped mountains. Moreover, it is extremely versatile. It can pull plows to plow the land, and can also carry goods to climb mountains. It is called "the boat of the plateau".

Moreover, yaks can also provide products such as milk, beef and leather. They are very good livestock species, especially in cold regions.

Although the growth period of yak is longer than that of reindeer, it takes 4 years to grow up, and reindeer can grow up in just over a year. However, yak can grow up to 1000 kg, while reindeer can only grow up to 150 kg, which is only one-seventh of yak More. In this way, it is still cost-effective to raise yaks. Moreover, arctic wolves dare to provoke reindeer, but they dare not provoke huge yaks. Yaks generally don't attack mainly, but if anyone dares to provoke them, wolves are not enough to fight back.

Therefore, Marin decided to introduce a large number of yaks as an important livestock species in Lapland. As for the reindeer, also continue to raise. After all, reindeer sledding is also very convenient in winter.

...

But there is a problem, how to get the yak?

Marin wants to go by sea, but I'm afraid it won't work. why? Because the fur on the yak is too thick, it is not resistant to cold and heat. If you choose to go by sea, most of the time you have to go to tropical seas, which are humid and hot. Human sailors can go shirtless without wearing any clothes. However, the skin and hair of the yak cannot be removed...

Marin would probably die a lot of yaks if he walked in the tropical sea for a few months. In the end, I don’t know how many survived to reach Europe...

So, we can only go by land...

but……

The road is not smooth!

There are many countries along the way, and there are constant tribal disputes. It belongs to a very chaotic area, from ancient times to modern times. In Central Asia, there have been constant wars since ancient times.

It is too difficult to safely bring yaks to Lapland by land!

But no matter how difficult it was, Marin wanted to try. Therefore, Marin ordered the recruitment of a thousand Cossacks of Tatar origin, and asked them to form a team to travel through the chaotic Eastern Europe and Central Asia to buy 10,000 yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

However, considering that the countries and nomadic tribes along the way can easily pull out tens of thousands of cavalry, Marin does not intend to force it this time, but intends to give the countries along the way a chance to increase prices.

For this reason, he planned to let these thousand Tatar Cossacks escort the envoys to visit the countries along the way, expressing their willingness to purchase yaks at a high price, suggesting that they could increase the price. In this way, the safety and smoothness of the journey can be guaranteed.

After repeated deliberation, Marin chose a suitable route - Siberia Khanate - Oirat Mongolia - Yarkand Khanate - Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Siberian Khanate is probably close to the Durbert tribe, one of the four tribes of Oirat Mongolia, and the four tribes of Oirat are allies and will not mess with each other. Then to the south is the Yarkand Khanate, which emerged in 1514. It is next to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it can buy yaks directly.

Calculated in this way, the yak has at most surpassed the three major forces, and the price has been increased three times. Even if you buy some tolls along the way, the price will be three or four times the price at most, and Marin can still accept it.

In addition, Marin did not intend to pay all the money, but planned to offset most of the funds with spirits. This can also reduce a lot of stress.

Moreover, the three countries along the way are all descendants of Mongolia, and no matter how bad the relationship is, they will not stop communicating. And because of the same origin, languages ​​can also communicate. What I want to mention here is that many Mongolians in the Western Regions seem to be able to speak Mongolian and Turkic. Even Turkic languages ​​are more popular in Central Asia. Like Kazakh, it belongs to the Turkic language family.

Of course, Marin doesn't care what language they speak, he only cares about whether the yak can reach Lapland in the Arctic safely. For this, he is willing to pay a high price. As for the Siberian Khanate, the last section needs to pass through the northern part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which is not a problem.

At that time, Marin will send troops to escort. Moreover, walking through the northern forest of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, it is estimated that there are not many people. If the Muscovites dared to rob, this would just give Marin an excuse to send troops...

"God bless! I hope this expedition for yaks will go well, and enough yaks will arrive in Lapland!" Marin, who is as impious as Marin, can't help but start praying...
