PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Thus, while the Marquis William was still in Norwich, the entire six counties of East England received this decree, signed by the King and drafted and signed by the Privy Council, and then it spread throughout the six counties of East England with the speed of the wind, causing a great deal of discussion.

On this day, the Marquess William of Norwich also received this decree from London.

Sitting leisurely in the comfortable seat, Marquis William rolled his eyes, handed the document to Thomas, who was silently thinking on the side, and asked, "Thomas, what do you think?" ”

Thomas, who was on the side, did not answer his question, but thought more seriously.

Marquis William didn't mind, he watched Thomas's silent thinking closely, and for a while, the atmosphere in the study suddenly fell silent, and even the birds outside the window didn't seem to dare to chirp loudly anymore.

Time was accompanied by the ticking of a mechanical clock, and in the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed.

Thomas frowned as he always looked, and he didn't seem to be ready to wake up, and seeing this, Marquis William didn't mean to bother at all, and waited quietly.

Truth be told, Marquis William was very self-aware.

When it comes to politics, he is very good at swinging from side to side, gaining all kinds of power to make himself go further.

However, although he has some aristocratic sensitivities about specific political actions and systems, as well as measures, he still cannot understand them concretely.

So, at this time, Thomas, as a guy who has studied politics for decades, is his brainchild.

For example, with Robert. Kate's battle, if it was still Marquis William, he would still send a large number of troops to fight face-to-face, and he would not have thought of using the method of negotiation.

Therefore, after it was determined that Thomas was already better than himself, the Marquis William had no reservations about Thomas, including the king's decrees.

While the Marquis William was silently reminiscing, Thomas slowly raised his head, his eyebrows shaking, and it seemed that he was surprised by the decree from London.

"What's wrong? Thomas! Seeing Thomas's shocked look, Marquis William leaned over, with some confusion between his eyebrows, and asked incessantly.

"This is just a reform of His Majesty's Majesty, but don't be so surprised!"

Hearing such childish words from the Marquis of William, Thomas was eager to give him a big ear scraper to sober him up.

What does it mean to be 'just', don't you understand that this is a radical reform?

Suppressing his rapidly beating heart, Thomas took a heavy breath and said slowly: "My Lord Marquis, have you not discovered that if His Majesty's decree is implemented, England will completely become the world of the Tudors!" ”

Seeing Thomas's angry and corrupt appearance, the disapproval in Marquis William's heart suddenly retracted, and his face became serious and serious in an instant, and he showed a serious look.

It is an indisputable fact that the king of England loved reforms, and that William the Conqueror carried out extensive reforms in order to maintain his rule.

He brought advanced French advanced systems, so that tribal alliance England entered the knightly aristocratic fiefdom contract society, the king and the nobility became the ruling class, and the tribal family leaders withdrew from the stage of history.

After that, successive generations of kings continued to reform, and the original counties in various places were turned into counties, and a series of rights such as executive power, legislative and judicial power, military power, and diplomatic power were almost all pocketed by the king.

In the Tudor royal period, Henry VII directly set up a hundred households to disperse the radiation power of the estate; Henry VIII set up the Central District, the Northern Affairs Committee, and the Welsh Territory Council, both of which were areas with a large aristocratic power, and were also key areas, one in the west and one in the north, while the king sat in London and was in the east.

It can be said that for centralized power, this is the innate sensitivity and behavior of the king, and no one needs to teach it.

Moreover, since the accession to the throne of Edward VI, nothing has been stopped, and every month there have been reforms, and there are many kinds of directions.

Therefore, in the face of King Edward's reform, Marquis William has become accustomed to it in his heart, and he has become accustomed to it.

Looking at the Marquis William's pretended serious appearance, Thomas sighed and explained: "What does this decree mean that it completely fixed the committees and institutions under the six counties of East England, how many people and how many salaries were arranged?" ”

In response to this question, the Marquis William said cautiously: "It means that in the future, the personnel of the six counties of East England will be fully known!" ”

In response to Marquis William's words, Thomas nodded, and his heart was a little satisfied.

"This is just the king's first step!" Thomas paused and continued: "The rest, I think, is nothing more than a step-by-step compression, and it won't be long before all the members of the committee will be watched or scrutinized by His Majesty!" ”

"That is to say, in the future, in the east of England, the king will know its every move, and every member of the committee must be approved by His Majesty the king!"

Thomas looked directly at Marquis William, and spoke faster and faster, even with a hint of fanaticism.

Marquis William was surprised by Thomas's analysis, he did not expect that just one prescribed official system could involve so many followers, and even deduce the purpose of His Majesty.

"Look at it! Lord Marquis, it will not be long before this policy will be implemented in the rest of England and Wales except for the East of England, and the young king, who sits on the crown, will become the ruler of England in place of God! ”

As he spoke, Thomas shouted softly to the scattered crowd outside the window, like a sleeping volcano, and the whole person suddenly changed from calm to turbulent, which made Marquis William stunned.

"My sir, Mr. Thomas, tell me, is this all your true speculation?"

Marquis William frowned, looked at the somewhat crazy good friend in front of him, and exclaimed softly.

"Of course, my Lord Marquis, there is no need for me to deceive you!"

Thomas turned his head and said softly to the nervous Marquis William.

Hearing this, Marquis William swallowed, he did not expect that this somewhat crazy idea, and the speculation that was most likely close to the king's purpose, really came from the mouth of this friend.

Only now did he truly admire this genius friend, who was worthy of being selected by the nobles.
