Chapter 542: money problem



  Of course, this parliamentary discussion was not shortly after that time, but in mid-August, which is two months away.

  This is because the agreement stipulates that Scottish nobles must go to London to stay for six months, so generally speaking, there are fewer nobles in Scotland in the first half of the year and more in the second half.

  With the rise of the Renaissance, criticism of serfdom has been ongoing. Coupled with the existence of serfdom, it has hindered the development of centralization. European countries have gradually begun to abolish serfdom.

  For example, England, as early as the fifteenth century, when the Tudor dynasty was just established, began to abolish serfdom and officially abolished it in the hands of Henry VIII.

  Scotland, however, has been slow to move forward because of the weak kingship and the power of the aristocracy, resulting in the existence of serfdom.

  With the progress of the Age of Discovery, Europeans began to claim to be civilized people and vigorously criticized serfdom, while Scotland kept pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending that it had abolished serfdom and became a civilized country.

   But at this moment, being questioned in public by the ruling William Selsey, this is no less than directly breaking the veil, and the big ear scraper is directly slapped on the face, with a loud slap.

   In the choice of face and interests, the nobles fell into deep thought.

   Not to mention how embarrassing and difficult it is for the Scottish Parliament to face such a questioning, it is said that this judicial case destined to become famous in history has also attracted the attention of the great Edward.

   On this day, the weather in London is still naughty, sometimes light rain, sometimes cloudy, generally speaking, sunny weather is something that cannot be met.

  This kind of erratic weather, although most people are used to it, they still hate it, and hate it from the bottom of their hearts.

  Generally this June, His Majesty Edward will take the court and move to Windsor Castle in the north as a whole.

  London is overpopulated, hot and humid, crowded, and the air seems to smell a little sweaty. How can His Majesty the King, who has always paid more attention to health, bear it.

   Moreover, although the sanitation situation in London has improved a lot, its tradition of plague outbreaks still makes the nobles and royal family shudder.

  So, every summer, when the entire city of London is full of sweat and smell, most of the nobles and parliament, as well as the central government, will move to Windsor Castle with the relocation of the palace.

   With the development of this habit, other wealthy businessmen in London gradually developed this tradition, going to Windsor Castle with the noble royal family.

   This habit has gradually become a practice in British culture. Even though the subsequent king himself is unwilling to move the land, the power of tradition still binds him, making him unconsciously go to Windsor Castle.

  This is the culture and character of the English people, conservative and stubborn, with a touch of boldness and adventurous spirit in the tradition, which can also be called the national spirit.

With the relocation of the court and nobles in the Windsor Castle area, a small town has been formed, with a permanent population of less than a thousand people, but every June, the population will skyrocket to ten thousand people, and as more and more Surrounded by wealthy businessmen, and more and more.

   His Majesty the King didn\'t care about this. The hundreds of guards who followed him, as well as the guards of more than 2,000 people, were not vegetarians.

  This time, His Majesty the King brought Prime Minister John Anthony, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Thomas Mane, and came to the walls of Windsor Castle, looking down at the surging Thames River.

  Windsor Castle is located on a hill by the Thames River. It was built as a fortress at the beginning, and then slowly became the leisure palace of the royal family. Some kings were even born here.

   "You\'ve heard about Scotland!" With his hands propped on the city wall, the hardness of the ancient city wall could be heard from his arms, and he could also feel the softness of the breeze blowing on his face. Edward looked at the Thames River below and said.

   Prime Minister Anthony looked at the slender back of His Majesty the King, glanced at the Chancellor of the Exchequer Thomas Mane, then took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and replied softly:

   "Yes, we already know!"

   "Tell me how you feel!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Anthony agreed without hesitation, and then walked aside. After a little distance of half a step, he bent slightly and said with an appropriate speed and volume: "In my opinion, the trial of this case, It is extremely correct and rare, and I think the final result will definitely be gratifying!"

   "After all, the Scottish nobles are different from the English nobles. Their relationships are intricate and powerful, they firmly control the local area, and they have a perfunctory attitude towards the central government.

   After this happened, as I expected, this is the winter sun, and the cold will disappear quickly! "

   "That\'s right, you\'re right!" Slightly nodded, expressing approval, and then looked at Thomas Mane, the chancellor of the exchequer.

   "I have the same opinion as Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" The Minister of Finance quickly explained.

   Immediately, after seeing His Majesty the king\'s flat expression with a slight smile, the two immediately guessed that the answers of themselves and others did not meet the king\'s intentions.

   Unable to help, the two sighed in their hearts.

   "Although what you said is very reasonable, the huge influence of the Scottish nobles in Scotland is still huge, but I think this incident has also discovered a major problem!"

  Looking at the two ministers in front of him who are like obedient babies, Edward has a serious face and looks extremely formal.

   "Can\'t you find out? These occupied lands belong to those veterans, who have just retired from the army!"

   "They worked so hard to earn their lives in exchange for a few acres or tens of acres of land, just hoping to live a good life!"

   "Unexpectedly, someone would dare to invade the land they fought so hard for. This will greatly shake the morale of the troops ahead. In the future, this will be very detrimental to the morale of the army!"

   After Edward said this, he stopped and watched the reactions of the two important ministers.

  The prime minister was a little dazed at first, then he restrained his expression and turned his head rapidly.

   "Indeed, what you said is correct. Only when the hearts of the troops are calmed, can they receive news of continuous victories!"

  Although it is not clear why His Majesty\'s focus is so special, Anthony chose to go along with it at the first time.

   "Yes, Your Majesty, what you said is excellent!" To be consistent with the Prime Minister is what Thomas Marne has been doing, and you cannot sing the opposite.

   "Since you all agree, then, some money will be allocated from the government every year, and the royal family will add some more money. Set up a resettlement office under the Palace Affairs Office to deal with the problem of veterans!"

  Edward thought about it for a moment, and decided to let the royal family do this as an opportunity to gain favor, and the government just needs to pay some money.

  The Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately sighed in their hearts: It turns out that it is still about money.
