46, Noisy Noble

Louis XI and Tim had another dispute, and neither side was willing to give in.

Louis XI have been in France for many years. His character and behavior are extremely cunning. It can be said that he can take the initiative in every negotiation. However, this time his opponent is not an ordinary person, but a Tim who has been cheating and has been reborn from the 21st century. After several rounds of battle, Louis XI finally couldn't hold on and had to give in.

"Well, Your Highness Tim, even though you're saying it makes sense, but after all, it's our first time working together. You have to show some sincerity to convince us France to help you Portugal solve the problem first."

Tim was very satisfied with Louis XI's wise concession, so he did not refuse his request: "Of course, I heard that France is short of food recently, and Portugal happened to stock up on the food of countries around the Mediterranean not long ago. Now he still has a lot of food in his hands. If France is willing..."

"I'm willing, I'm very willing. His Highness Tim is so proud. I wonder how much food His Highness plans to give us France." Before Tim finished speaking, Louis XI was already excited to steal the conversation. In the war years, food is really important, no less than the importance of weapons.

"No, Portugal can sell you some grain at the lowest price. The price we sell to Aragon is one pound of grain and one Nomisma. Then sell it to France to make a friendly price, one Nomisma and two pounds of grain. I wonder how Prince Louis feels?" Tim smiled and shook his head. Where can I eat free lunch in this world?

"It's fine if you don't give it to us for free, but you still want money? It's fine to ask for money, but it's actually increased the price of food a lot. You know, you can usually buy four kilograms of food at Nomisma." Seeing that Tim still wanted to make money in a bad way, Louis XI felt so angry that he was so angry.

"If we were not formally aligned, I wouldn't have sold you so cheaply? You should know that it's all money." Tim said angrily: "If you dislike my food being expensive, then you can't buy it. Anyway, my sincerity is like this. Do you like to buy it or not."

Looking at Tim's arrogant look, Louis XI was helpless and felt that he had met his enemy nemesis in his life.

Soon, Tim and Louis XI agreed. After Louis XI returned to Paris, France would quickly send the army to the port of Lisbon, while Tim sent the Portuguese Navy to block the port of Lisbon.

The division of labor between the two sides was clear at that time. The French Army was responsible for attacking Lisbon, while the Portuguese Navy was responsible for blocking reinforcements from the English Navy and England.

After the negotiations were completed, Louis XI immediately took people out of the palace and headed straight for France.

Tim also returned to the hall with a smile on his face.

At this moment, all the nobles were waiting patiently for Tim, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and nervousness.

"It's almost dusk, why haven't the prince come out yet?"

"Yes, yes, what is the plan for His Highness the Prince?"

"Mr. Warren, what do you think?"

The nobles had been waiting here for a day, and they were surrounded by food provided by the royal palace. Although everyone was hungry, no one moved the food on the table.

"The palace is down." I don't know who shouted, and everyone quickly calmed down and looked out the door.

Tim smiled and greeted everyone, signaling everyone to sit down and talk.

"I know you are all curious about where this prince went and what he did. Now I will tell you the answer." Nodding and letting everyone relax, Tim said slowly: "I was very confused before, so I went to the study to rest, but I never thought that the French messenger was coming..."

Tim briefly told everyone about his conversation with Louis XI, and finally added: "So, now our problem has been solved, all we have to do is prepare for the upcoming Battle of Lisbon."

"Your Highness, how can you join France?" Earl Warren couldn't sit still and stood up and said, "France has many internal conflicts, and at the same time, the war with England has been fighting for nearly a hundred years. Being an ally with France is not pushing Portugal into the fire pit!"

"Yes, Your Highness, although the French army is strong, the country is not unified. Who knows whether they will withdraw their troops suddenly at that time?"

"Prince Louis is extremely cunning. He has opposed the French king many times in France. This person is really unreliable."

Tim sat on the chair without saying a word, just looking at everyone with a smile on his face. When the noise of everyone slowly weakened and returned to calm, he slowly stood up from his seat.

“When did my decision fail?”

"When did my idea never be reliable?"

"When did I get my eyes out?"

Tim asked three questions in a row, and everyone was speechless because everyone was aware of what Tim did recently. If you have to use one sentence to describe Prince Tim's decisions and ideas, it would be too smart, so smart that it was almost crazy.

"I promise you that this decision will be the most correct decision ever, because since then, Portugal will never be threatened by Castile again." Tim raised his voice and said.

After hearing Tim's words, everyone muttered in their hearts. Although the voice was very small, Tim still heard some of the words.

"Your Highness is a little young after all, and he is too confident in doing things."

"Yes, I really can't understand why your highness is so optimistic about France."

"It seems that we have to reconsider the convening of aristocratic councils."

When Tim listened to these people, Tim had a headache. He now understood why it is so difficult for European countries to make decisions, because there are too many people involved in making decisions, and everyone has their own opinions and ideas. It would be strange if this decision can be made.

It seems that in the future, centralization must be appropriately strengthened and some separatist nobles must be suppressed, so as not to be too active and be complacent.

As the dissatisfaction voice became louder and louder, Tim felt angry: "Are there anyone among you who don't plan to obey my decision? It just so happens that Archbishop White will come back from Selivia tomorrow. I happened to tell him that he would send you to the Inquisition to make some reforms."
