"Your Excellency, aren't you a nobleman? Our village will be your fiefdom in the future! ”

When the village chief Moss heard this, he was surprised and inexplicable, and quickly blurted out and asked in a low voice, there was no respect and humility etiquette.

As soon as the words came out, Moss regretted that he was only a humble peasant, and what qualifications did he have to ask adults.

As a result, Thomas. When Befort saw it, he asked his villagers, and immediately knelt down with a look of remorse.

"My lord, please forgive me for being rude!" A trembling voice rang out.

Only then did Thomas realize that the aristocracy of France was so powerful that it could scare ordinary people into kneeling.

And the nobility of England can only be respected and envied by ordinary people, but cannot be feared.

Because, the commoners did not have to rely on the bloodline to obtain power, knowledge became another thing comparable to the bloodline, and the nobles were no longer out of reach!

Next, Thomas explained in detail the United Kingdom's governance of Normandy.

For example, dozens of surrounding villages were merged into towns, under the direction of the mayor, and then a dozen towns were merged into counties, under the leadership of His Excellency the Governor of Normandy.

And all the nobles, like England, will lose their right to govern, to adjudicate, and to collect taxes, just as they do in England.

In this way, after more than half an hour of detailed explanation, Thomas finally narrated most of the things, and surprised his future subordinate.

He looked at the village chief in astonishment, with a smile on his face.

The reason why Thomas is so good-tempered and patient is because, in the next time, in order to successfully carry out the decree of His Excellency the Governor, he must win over these local snakes, otherwise he will definitely become a puppet.

After a while, when Florent, the former tax collector who was watching the play, was a little impatient, the village chief Moss reacted.

"Of course, of course, obeying the leadership of adults is what I should do!" Moss immediately nodded, showing his loyalty, and his face was full of excitement.

"As long as you command, my lord, we will definitely listen to you, and if you don't listen, I will break his leg!"

"Very well, Village Chief Moss, I am very satisfied with your loyalty!"

Mayor Thomas had a relieved smile on his young face, as if he was pleased with his performance.

"I'm here this time, just because there is something to trouble you, I hope you will cooperate more!" Patting Moss on the shoulder, Thomas said.

"Of course, of course! That's as it should be! Moss suddenly showed a smile on his face, and agreed with a little cry.

"Alright, you lead the way ahead, let me go in and have a look!" Mayor Thomas said with great interest.

The smile on Moss's face was even more reluctant, and his walking posture was a little trembling.

What can a small village have to entertain the mayor in this year of famine?

As he walked, Thomas recounted his plans.

And Moss's face changed randomly like a chameleon.

When he heard that the newly formed town of Sneva was about to be set up in his place, his face turned pale.

And when the young mayor said that he had become the deputy mayor, he became rosy again.

Then, a series of decrees suddenly came out of the young mayor's mouth, causing the village chief Moss's face to change.

Mandatory military training for villagers every winter; Organize all the villagers and register them; For half a year, the passage of the riff and the franc in Normandy was banned, and the villagers were allowed to exchange them at any time, and only the pound sterling was allowed......

When this series of policies came out, although Moss didn't know how effective it was, there was a sentence in his heart: the English were serious about the rule of Normandy.

After touring the poor villages, the young mayor sighed:

"It seems that if you want to build a new town center, it will cost a lot of money!"

"Moss, I just saw that there is not much stock in the village!"

"Yes, my lord, last year's harvest was not good, and this year there is still a shortage of food for a few months!" Moss said with an ugly look on his face.

"In this case, the villagers can go to the Bank of England in the city of Rouen to borrow grain, and the interest will be waived for the first year, and it will be returned on time in the next year!" Thomas said casually as soon as he remembered the orders of His Excellency the Governor and the reward given to him by the Bank of England.

"Is this true, sir?" Moss said in surprise.

"Of course, the Bank of England is the royal family, the most credit-worthy, and the service is good! In the future, you will also receive your salary from the Bank of England! ”

"What? Do I still have a salary? ”

"Of course, for the service of His Majesty the King, of course there is a reward!" Thomas rightly said.

Normandy Rouen, inside the newly formed Doge's Palace.

Since the situation in France had temporarily remained dangerously balanced, the English had seized control of the other half of Rouen from the Count of Gabriel, and all of Normandy had come under the rule of the United Kingdom.

The first thing the new Doge's Office did was to divide the land of the Catholic nobility and the Church into three, the king and the military and the government.

Then, as originally planned, bondholders were allowed to buy land at half price, and the governor's palace became financially rich.

"Your Excellency the Governor, at present, according to the arrangement of the Cabinet, the region of Normandy is divided into eighteen counties, and a number of towns.

And with the talents of Calais and Bourzyne, as well as the talents sent from the United Kingdom, plus the local nobles and families, a total of 460 people, after another month of training, they have been sent to various parts of Normandy, and are currently being integrated! ”

In the Governor's Office, the former Governor of Calais, Baron Frank Brown. Carol, reading a document aloud earnestly, her voice thick and magnetic.

He was appointed by His Majesty the King as Lieutenant Governor to assist His Excellency the Governor in the administration of Normandy.

His Excellency the Governor had a straight face, and his unusually handsome face did not reveal a smile, but when viewed from the side, there was a different kind of beauty.

"What a charming man!" Baron Beloni sighed in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and then finished his report.

In view of the differences in the Normandy region, the new governor was the Knight of Alexander, and the military and government were in charge.

And, in recognition of his exploits, His Majesty the King has canonized him as Baron de Rouen, on an estate of 10,000 acres.

The Marquis of Edinburgh, who seized Brittany, was just a baron, and thousands of acres of land.

"Your Excellency, please try to urge the Bank of England to open a branch, the agriculture in Normandy was destroyed a lot last year, and I am afraid that there will be a riot!" His Excellency the Governor looked at Baron Belanne with beautiful eyes and commanded earnestly.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Such a beautiful face made Baron Beloni a little distracted for a while, and it took him a while before he reacted.

"The finances are relatively rich at present, and the appropriations of the town and county governments around the country should not be too tight! And, please set aside five thousand pounds as a reward for the expeditionary force to boost morale! ”

As the actual leader in dealing with civil affairs, Baron Belanne, after a moment of thought, agreed to the advice of His Excellency the Governor.

Thanks to the proceeds from the sale of land, the treasury of the Doge's Palace now reaches a terrifying 100,000 pounds, which shows how rich the French church and nobility are!

The French are really rich!
