"I knew they would!" Edward said mockingly, "The French are blatant in their intentions against Scotland, but alas, they don't look at their own strength!" ”

"Yes, the French have always been so arrogant, how can Henry II compare to your wisdom!" Kyle. Lance smiled on the sidelines, the flattering expression on his face was a little disgusting. For example, Major James.

"Well, tell me how much money Henry II took out to redeem Francico!" Edward's face was straight, and he stared at Kyle, who was flattering. Lance said.

"Your Majesty, the French are willing to pay five thousand pounds to ransom Francico, but they have asked us to return the captured French sailors and ships, and they have offered to pay for them!"

Kyle didn't achieve much success in this matter, after all, the French army could directly capture Franceco, and they would definitely not be able to hold it.

"What?" When Edward heard the price, he couldn't help but lose his voice.

"The French are really stingy, a city with a population of tens of thousands, is willing to spend only 5,000 pounds, and I have a new understanding of Gallic chickens!"

Edward couldn't help but pout at this, revealing a disdainful look, and everyone could hear the contempt in his words.

"Well, then, my major sir major, it seems that you must have brought me some surprise!" Edward's gaze turned to Major James, and his tone was kind and gentle.

"Your Majesty, relying on your prestige and worship of you, the citizens of the entire city of Francico are rushing to do their part to us, and I have been busy these days!" Looking at Edward's somewhat dangerous eyes, James hurriedly puffed up his chest and made a small joke.

With his head bowed, Major James said in a respectful tone.

"Thanks to the dedication of the citizens of Francico, as of yesterday, the donation has reached 160,000 pounds!"

Although they knew that this could not be a real number, those soldiers and officers must have hidden something, and it is more likely that Major James had also secretly hidden something, but now was not the time to worry about it.

Someone else has done a good job and sent you money, a little pound is nothing, and you have to give you a reward.

"Your Excellency, I am very satisfied with your performance!" Edward nodded reluctantly, "Take five thousand pounds from the royal treasury, and count it as my reward for the soldiers!" ”

More than 1,000 people, an average of four pounds per person, in this era, is a lot, equivalent to most of their salary for half a year.

"Your Majesty, I think those soldiers who got the news will definitely be crazy!" Major James hurriedly bowed, with a huge surprise on his face, and said humbly.

"Yes!" Edward nodded slightly.

"By the way, I'll be knighted in three days, Your Excellency Major, and I think you should be ready!" Edward glanced meaningfully at Major James and whispered, then slowly left, leaving behind a surprised Major James and a jealous Kyle. Reims.

"Congratulations, congratulations! The future lord "Kyle. Lance approached Major James with mixed feelings, but he still pretended to be happy and congratulated.

"Haha!" By Kyle. When Lance said this, Major James immediately grinned and laughed happily.

"Don't be so formal, I'm not one yet! Sir, I think you'll have this day too! Major James, who was about to smile crookedly, waved his hand politely and said inappropriately.

"Your Excellency, I still have something to do, I'll go first!" To Kyle. Lance nodded and said apologetically.

"Don't be so polite, I think such an important thing really needs to be shared with family and friends, you go first!" Kyle. Lance shook his head indifferently and said with a smile on his lips.

After receiving such a reply, adhering to the etiquette of the nobility, Major James did not run regardless of his image, but his fast walking speed was not much worse, and as soon as he slipped away, Kyle could not see Major James.

"Alas! Sir! Hehe...... "Kyle. Lance shook his head, smiling bitterly to himself, his eyes glazed over. "How difficult!"

For a minister like him, who was not liked by the king and had no connections, becoming a nobleman was just an unattainable dream.

"No, why can't you try it?" Suddenly, he remembered Henry VIII's minister, Thomas Brown. Cromwell, who also became the Earl of Isaacs, was finally executed, but at least proved that he could become a nobleman by being attached to the king.

"I must be a nobleman!" Kyle. Lance put his heart on the side, and resolutely threw himself into the arms of a deep understanding of the king.

First of all, he felt that it was time to get to know the young king deeply, then to see the dishes and be reused in one fell swoop, and then to win the attention of His Majesty, and finally to become a nobleman.

"Yes! As far as I can do, I must first understand His Majesty's ordinary behavior! Thinking about it, Kyle made his first move.

Looking at the guards in the distance, Kyle walked over slowly, and was about to say hello when he touched his pocket, but there was not a single shilling.

This is embarrassing, although he is a minister of the Privy Council, but the king does not pay his salary, he has no right to take advantage, plus the background is just an ordinary squire, how can there be any money to buy!

The first operation failed.

Under the guard's bewildered gaze, Kyle walked casually past the guard and staggered out of the palace.

There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that Edward himself said it, and in less than an hour, the nobles of the entire London already knew the news, under the spread of Major James.

For half a day, the whole of London was spreading about it.

At this time, Major Dior, who had surrendered to England from France, was drinking in the mansion of the middle-level generals who had surrendered with him.

When he arrived in London, Edward rewarded him with a house that, although in a wealthy area, looked good.

However, since then, Major Dio has not seen the next move of the King of England, and the ten days he has been in London have made Major Dio and others anxious.

In desperation, he could only find his former subordinates and drink together.

"Young master, don't worry, my hundreds of acres of land have come down, just near Huntington, I'm not far from you!" Looking at his young master's sad face, Boris took a sip of wine and comforted.

"Mine is all down, your Baron Huntington is definitely not far away!"

"Thank you for your comfort, Boris!" Hearing his servant say this, Major Dio squeezed out a smile.

"Good news, sir, your title has come down!" A young manservant came running over briskly and said happily.
