Chapter 420: The Beginning of the Temple (2)
The New World is for us, the Rothschilds, to eat up.
There is an abundance of gold and silver there, and precious things like cochineal and coffee.
Even sugar can be grown indefinitely there...
‘If we just hold onto the New World, the Rothschilds will prosper infinitely.’
So I decided to tell my wives about my full-scale plan to conquer the New World.
Since it is a family matter, everyone should participate.
Erica asked while all the wives were gathered.
“You refused to buy war bonds and only donated. Are you planning to invest all that money in the New World?”
“That’s right. Even if I could acquire the entire Holy Empire, I wouldn’t give up the New World. It’s more valuable than the Holy Empire.”
“Even if things like cochineal and coffee were produced there, those luxuries would be limited.”
The Spaniards were stupid enough not to even think ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ about growing expensive crops like sugar in the New World, which had almost unlimited demand.
France, having learned from their foolish actions, once spent 1/3 of its government budget on sugar taxes.
