My British Empire

Chapter 286 Using Fire

ps: Ask for tickets, ask for recommendations

In this world, there is no loyalty without complaint or regret, and there is no reward without reason.

Edward spent more than two thousand pounds without hesitation, what a delight!

The consequences of doing so are also obvious. This kind of reward before practice has won a lot of people's hearts for him.

In other words, most of the more than 200 people in front of us were born as civilians, that is to say, their families are not very rich. Going to the East of England, such a large amount of expenses really put them under a lot of pressure.

Lemire is like this, the originally tense mood suddenly relaxed with the generosity of His Majesty the King.

As mentioned earlier, he is from an ordinary family, and his monthly salary and some extra income are just enough to maintain the family's expenses. How can he have so much money to go to Cambridgeshire.

Therefore, before the trip, he came to the Royal Bank to provide a guarantee in his own name, thereby borrowing ten pounds, of which five pounds were given to his wife and children who stayed in London, and the remaining five pounds were for him to go to. All property in Cambridgeshire.

In this era, ordinary people would rather suffer a little more, and they would not borrow money.

You must know that at this time, the people who operate the loan business are basically Jews. The Jewish vampire-like face has long been formed in the hearts of all Europeans. Borrowing money means that you have fallen into the abyss of the devil, and you can no longer escape.

More importantly, the lowest loan interest rate at this time is 50%, and the other 80%, 90%, or even doubled are commonplace.

Without some capital as confidence, you have no courage to borrow money.

The reason why he went to the Royal Bank to borrow money was firstly because he received his monthly salary from there, and he was most familiar with it; secondly, because the interest rate of the Royal Bank was relatively low. Ten pounds, after a year, only fifteen pounds will be repaid, which is the most cost-effective.

Being the mayor of a hundred districts without the same strict supervision as in London, the mere fifteen pounds can be recovered in less than half a year, which is simply a piece of cake.

But the king on the high platform didn't know that his reward this time also reduced his family's business a lot.

The young guards had a cold face, two of them were carrying the box, while the other two were walking around, distributing the gleaming gold coins inside the box.

In less than ten minutes, more than two hundred people had finished distributing. As the king, Edward also consciously delivered a final speech before stepping off the high platform.

In the carriage, Edward sat upright in the center, the soft velvet back was gently supporting his waist, but he closed his eyes and remained expressionless.

As a king, for the officials under him, it is to use rewards and punishments to tie their hearts firmly in his own hands, so that he can truly control the country.

As for Henry VIII, who was a high-ranking aristocrat from birth, he naturally didn't have the leisure to win over these officials of civilian origin.

In his heart, only nobles are the most worthy of wooing, and commoners have no qualifications!

But Edward is not like this. He is the soul of a commoner. Even though he has been educated by the royal family for more than ten years, he is born with a sense of distrust for nobles.

After all, the noble family has been passed down to this day. No matter how kind you are, it is impossible to grant fiefdoms as before. At most, there are a few manors. Isn’t this a drop in the bucket for those nobles who have been passed down for hundreds of years?

So, for ordinary people, a little reward will be remembered in the heart. It is cheap and easy to see the effect. It is the simplest and quickest.

Thinking that these hundreds of people are pouring into East England, if they are real talents, they will definitely stand out. At present, England is still relatively short of talents, especially in the local area, which is basically dominated by nobles and gentlemen. It is time Break this calm.

Thinking, Edward gradually revealed a ruthless expression on his face.

To be honest, being a king in England is really aggrieved.

Don't be old, he has boundless power now, that is because the power of the nobles has shrunk, and the king is in control of the parliament.

Wait until the power of the nobles gradually recovers, and the parliament will definitely lose control, and the rights of the royal family will gradually retreat.

If the royal family of France still controls its own territory, it controls a large number of subjects, while in England, all the land in name belongs to the royal family, but except for some duchies and earldoms, the population under its control is at most ten. Tens of thousands.

More importantly, the English people pay special attention to the parliament. Even though this parliament has nothing to do with ordinary people, the English still trust this parliament as always.

Between the king and the parliament, England will choose the parliament without hesitation. This began with the Magna Carta in 1215.

Parliament has always appeared among the people in the role of supervising the king, representing the name, which is what we call the people's hearts.

Therefore, when the capitalists have not yet risen and the nobles are declining, centralization has been carried out in a hurry.

After a few months, this group of people sorted out some contradictions, and after the second official selection examination, the thirty-nine counties across the country will implement it together.

It doesn't matter how many people die.

A stern look flashed in Edward's eyes, and the king also needed to be ruthless.

Suddenly, he felt that the speed of the carriage began to slow down. It seemed that Whitehall Palace had arrived.

Getting off the carriage, the big-breasted girl in a long skirt greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, Knight Alexander is back!" The girl walked parallel to Edward, moving with him gently, her blue eyes fixed on his face, and said softly.

"Really? This is a big surprise!" Edward looked at the smiling girl, stopped, paused, and smiled.

This is indeed good news. The guards have not been away for a long time, which makes him a little uneasy as a king.

Now that he is back, he has returned from a **** battle. After seeing the blood, his combat effectiveness has improved a lot.

Afterwards, Edward started walking again, but at a slightly slower pace. Just now, he saw a group of elders, and now the girl is by the side, and the fragrance is lingering, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Any more good news?"

"Ah? A letter from the Marquess of Northampton, saying that Kate and Brother have been captured alive, waiting for your reply!"

The young girl saw the king's sharp and handsome face suddenly less than half a foot away from her lips, her head suddenly became a little confused, and her face flushed.

Fortunately, she also knew what her responsibility was, so she forcibly suppressed the shyness in her heart, and then said softly.

Edward stopped again this time, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Just execute in Norwich! Use fire—"
