The ceremony was completed smoothly, and then the atmosphere of the whole pier reached a high and high tide, and a smoothly coordinated show was officially completed.

After the knighthood ceremony, Chandler and his party were each rewarded with a hundred pounds, and of course the biggest profit was Richard. Chandler, a knighthood, I don't know how many people died of envy.

Then His Majesty the King and Queen Mary, escorted by the guards, slowly retreated, and the nobles and parliamentarians who witnessed it also retreated one after another.

And the onlookers who ate melons discussed with great interest, and they could only retreat after those big people left.

As he walked, he talked about this exciting event.

"It's so exciting, who would have thought that His Majesty would choose to be knighted!"

"Yes! This is a jazz! In the blink of an eye, he changed from a commoner to a nobleman, and crossed the bottomless ravine! ”

A man dressed as a sailor, shaking his head, his mouth smacking, and his face was envious, jealous and hateful.

To this day, there is still a fixed image in his head: His Majesty the King struck the back of his sword against Chandler's back.

"Chandler, I know, who would have thought that a small captain in the past, at most some fame among our sailors, would leap up today and become a nobleman above our heads!"

The sailor's sigh fell into the ears of his companions, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, such a change is the difference between cloud and mud.

In the eyes of ordinary people, two kinds of people, like knights and knights, are local bigwigs, and they need to be craned by their necks, respected, and looked up.

But in the eyes of the true aristocracy, and even in the eyes of the government and the king, these people are still different from the nobility and cannot be classified among the nobility.

"Who would have thought that just by going out on a boat, he would get a knighthood and become a noble lord!"

The sailor lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, we will also go out, if we find that eastern route, we will not be able to run away with a knighthood!" ”

There was a surprised expression on the companion's face, "Have you thought about it, this is going to the far sea where we don't know the specific situation, not the near sea where we often run, if you are not careful, there will be no bones!" ”

"You see, the new Sir Richard, but most of the people are dead, and he has come back! A knighthood, you don't need to give up your life! ”

"No, it's different, everyone can succeed, what do we have to be afraid of, if you don't want to go, forget it!"

The sailor pondered for a moment and said firmly.

……………………

"Dad, why did that person kneel down just now?"

A father and son gradually faded with the flow of people, the father was only in his twenties, but the son was five or six years old.

The son's face was flushed, and he sat on his father's shoulder, his legs shook from time to time, and with doubts on his face, he put his little head to his father's ear, and asked in a milky voice.

"Oh? That's it! "The father is still dressed relatively neatly, and he is a small trader, and his son is also neat, compared with ordinary people, it is much better.

"That man was knighted by His Majesty the King!" Father replied softly.

"Are there any benefits to being a knight? Is it okay to eat bread coated with honey every day? ”

In the eyes of children, eating bread coated with honey every day in the bakery is the happiest thing.

"Yes, you can eat bread with honey every day!" The father licked his lips and replied.

"Then, I'm going to be a knight too, I'm going to be a knight!"

"You can't do it!" "Why? Why can that uncle? ”

"He's found a new route!" As a small trader, he naturally got more information than ordinary people, and those rumors that the route to the East was found to be fake.

"When I grow up, I'm going to discover new routes, one of the biggest routes, and I'm going to be a knight! Eat honey bread every day! ”

As soon as he heard his father's words and received the answer, the little boy immediately jumped for joy, waving his two little arms incessantly, and muttering to his lips.

When the father heard this, he just smiled, carried his son on his back, and slowly went home.

In front of thousands of people, the scene of His Majesty the King holding the knighthood ceremony in front of him was deeply imprinted in the minds of all the audience, and the impact was extremely profound.

Like a stone thrown into the water, it ripples layer after layer, and it will have an even greater impact.

At this time, in the palace, the young King and His Majesty went to the dressing room to change into a regular dress, a formal ceremonial dress, which was still a little uncomfortable and inconvenient to wear, and it was better to wear regular clothes.

In the reception room, there were several middle-aged people who looked like merchants, sitting on chairs nervously and muttering softly to each other.

"What do you say, His Majesty summoned us?"

A wealthy businessman asked as he looked around and turned to his partner.

"How do I know how His Majesty's mind can be guessed by those of us who are in the king's mind!"

The merchant sitting in the middle, hearing this, shrugged his shoulders, spread his shoulders helplessly, and said.

"Alas! It seems to me that it should be Chandler, no, it's about Sir Richard! We need to be ready! ”

The other partner looked at the two of them with a solemn gaze and whispered.

As soon as these words came out, the other two suddenly showed expressions of sudden realization and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty has arrived—" shouted the guard, whose tall body stood still.

"Your Majesty—" The three of them hurriedly got up and bent down to salute.

"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk! It's convenient too! ”

Edward smiled slightly, sat on the main seat by himself, and whispered to the three of them, Edward obviously showed a pleasant face, just to reduce their tension.

"I have summoned you here today to make sure that you are supporters of Sir Richard's adventures!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was we who financed Sir Richard's adventure to the East to search for a shipping route, but alas, the operation failed!"

The man sitting in the middle was more bold, and continued Edward's words, and said.

"It can't be said that although a route to the East has not been found, a route to Muscovy has also been discovered?"

Edward didn't care at all, and still said lightly.

"Moscow? Your Majesty, do you mean? ”

"That's right, we're here to talk about the interests of the Moscow route!"

Edward finally got to the point.

Then, after some negotiations, Edward and the three merchants finally reached an agreement.

After negotiations, a company "Moscow Company" was established, which received a charter from the royal family to allow only this "Moscow Company" to operate this route and operate as a monopoly.

Among them, the royal family has four floors, the nobility has two floors, and the three of them occupy three floors, which are run by them.
