Chapter 1072: Holy Spirit Gold Coin and "Holy Spirit Warrior"

"That's one of the" Three Renaissance Post-Renaissance "alongside Da Vinci and Raphael! The proper art **** is actually called and watched like a watchdog ..." Marin foolishly Thought.

But thinking again, he was relieved again. Who is his father-in-law? That is the pope, the highest spiritual leader in all of Europe. In front of Julius II, Michelangelo is really not enough to see. Moreover, Michelangelo, now 33 years old, is still a young man. He is not a big artist who was later pushed to the altar. It was really normal for the pope to call him to drink.

In addition, Michelangelo's reputation is very famous, and he has a great relationship with the two masterpieces of "David" and "Genesis". "David" has been created, but this statue is hidden in Florence Cathedral, and its influence is not enough.

Not to mention the economic development of the Florence area, but for all of Europe, the impact is still insufficient. Unlike Genesis, it is the religious center of Europe in Rome where the Holy See is located. Countries in Western Europe have close contacts with the Holy See. Once Genesis is completed, this great mural will also be admired by the priests who came to Rome and bring its reputation back to Europe.

Before long, Marin saw a young man with messy hair and beard, led by a priest sent by Julius II, and entered the backyard of the Temple of Latran. After seeing Julius II, the young man seemed very afraid. He respectfully saluted Julius II, and then waited anxiously for Julius II's instructions.

"This is a big artist?" Marin was a bit disappointed with Michelangelo's appearance. Since he is a big artist, why is there no arrogance at all? Instead, he looks like a shiver?

In fact, Marin was wrong. Michelangelo was afraid of shrinking because he was afraid of the Holy See and Pope Julius II. You see, he is not so restrained when facing ordinary people. Even, a lot of nobles asked him to help carving, but he might not be willing to take care of it.

Later, Julius II instructed Michelangelo to engrave a money model with his head printed. Of course, Julius II did not instruct Michelangelo how to make it, but asked the other party to make his head look domineering, not to be insignificant. After all, these gold coins became famous for Julius II in the future. If the virtue of Yuan Datou is made, it is not a reputation, but a reputation.

Later, Marin also participated in the discussion. After the discussion of the three people, it was unanimously determined that the words on the gold coins should be in Latin, the common language of European religion.

Marin put forward additional requirements-he requested that the year 1509 be marked on the gold coins (1508 is about to pass). Also, like the convention of marking the issuing bank on the old one-dollar coins of later generations, the words "Ciena Bank" and the cross are printed on the reverse side.

The reason why "Siena Bank" is not engraved on the front is because the bank's status is low in this era, and it is not worthy of being engraved on the front. After all, on the front is the large head of Julius II, as well as his Latin honor number (Julius II), and the year of release.

In fact, Marin did this in order to facilitate the unification of norms. Because coins of the same specifications and coins minted in different years may not have the same quality.

For example, Dnier silver coins produced in different years in the French Tour Mint may contain different amounts of silver. Perhaps the silver content this year is 25%, and it will be reduced to 20% next year. In the following year, perhaps 25% ...

Therefore, Marin engraved the year of the coin to prevent coins of different years, the quality of the money is different. Generally speaking, in the same batch of coins of the same year, the gold and silver content is fixed.

In this way, it is very convenient when money is exchanged. For example, people can formulate corresponding currency exchange rates based on the different silver content of coins in different years. Just check the table and check the silver content, you can easily calculate the exchange rate and complete the exchange of different types of coins.

Unlike now, currency exchange is definitely a technical job. This is because it requires bank staff to be familiar with the money, and conduct density identification of the coins, and even requires some calculations to determine the exchange rate. Otherwise, it is quite difficult to determine the exchange rate when encountering silver coins of the same style but in different years ...

After deliberation, in the end Julius II agreed to engrave the words "God's Spokesman-Pope Julius II" on the front of the gold coin, engraved on the edge of the front of the coin. In the middle of the front of the gold coin is the head of Julius II. Below the person's head is the year "1509".

As for the reverse side of the gold coin, out of religious background, it is naturally not possible to engrave a flower like coins of later generations, but to engrave a cross first, representing Christianity. The reverse marginal text is naturally "Siena Bank". With this word, with the circulation of these gold coins, the reputation of Siena Bank will also spread ...

...

After the discussion was over, the miserable Michelangelo took the task back to slowly carve the money model. Once the carving is done, it needs to be submitted to Julius II for review. The main review content is whether the avatar is "smart martial arts", so as not to make a frivolous avatar come out to damage his image.

Then, for the name of the gold coin proposed by Marin, the Pope Gold Coin, Julius II also intends to modify it. Because, he felt that the name "Pope Gold Coin" was not domineering enough. Moreover, it sounds like a gold coin dedicated to the Papal State, rather than a gold coin common to all Europe (the ambition of the Pope is quite big) ...

After repeated thinking, Julius II finally gave the new gold coin a new domineering name-the Holy Spirit gold coin ...

Marin rolled his eyes when he heard it-he didn't expect the "Holy Spirit Bank" to appear yet, but he came up with the "Holy Spirit Gold Coin" first ...

It should be noted that in English and Frisian, the name of the Holy Spirit is "HolySpirit", which is very similar to "HolyRoman Empire" in the Holy Roman Empire.

Out of the reward for Marin's help in capturing the Republic of Siena and the care of his son-in-law, Julius II announced the closure of Marin as a gold coin after the name of the "Holy Spirit Gold Coin" "Holy Spirit Warrior" as a commendation.

This does not count. In the award edict, Julius II also granted Marin the right to "conquer the barren continent and spread the" glory of Christ "". This is equivalent to giving Malin the reward of the American continent in disguise, making Malin extremely happy.

Of course, Julius II was very smart. In the commendatory edict, he first used a newly invented "Holy Spirit Warrior" title to attract most people's attention. Then, at the end of the edict, it seemed that "it was casually mentioned", and it was so vaguely to hand over the colonial power of the "Wild Continent" (Americas) to Marin so easily.

If it is issued separately, it is necessary to give all the Americas to Marin ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ may cause many people to object. However, giving Marin a title of "Holy Spirit Warrior" in front of the edict first drew everyone's attention. Then, when the sentence at the end of the edict was "one pass", no one noticed.

...

At the same time, in order to share everyone's attention, Julius II also announced that he would hold a coronation ceremony for Maximilian I in Rome, making it a true "Holy Roman Emperor." Moreover, its coronation ceremony was held with Marin's "Holy Spirit Warrior" closing ceremony ...

Sure enough, the news that Maximilian I was officially crowned emperor was very attractive. Then, Marin's thunder as the "Holy Spirit Warrior" was overshadowed, not to mention the ambiguous purpose of Marin's authorization to colonize America.

However, the coronation ceremony of Maximilian I was of great importance. He needed to invite the large and small princes and bishops of Shenra to come to observe the ceremony to show orthodoxy. In addition, it is also necessary to invite monarchs or foreign ministers of France, Spain, England and other great countries to come to observe the ceremony.

Therefore, Marin needs to wait until the messengers of various countries arrive to allow the Holy See to declare that he is a "Holy Spirit Warrior" and has the right to colonize the "Wild Continent" ...
