In the summer, due to the growth of the population, London presents a scorching feeling, the heat wave is rolling, the traffic is busy, and the heat is extremely high.

The royal family, aristocrats, wealthy merchants, and even officials and parliamentarians with a little money walked out of London and rushed to the villas around London for vacation.

The same was true of the royal family, and His Majesty Edward moved most of the court to Windsor Castle, leaving the guards alone to guard the empty palace.

Taking advantage of this rare period, the nobles of Scotland and England went to Windsor Castle to meet His Majesty the King and cultivate their feelings.

Let the king remember himself, which becomes the ultimate goal of all nobles.

Since the official positions were no longer monopolized by the aristocracy, the commoners continued to rise, which gave the nobles who had been passed down from generation to generation a sense of worry, and the power that was originally in their hands was directly divided in half.

Of course, His Majesty the King moved out of London, and the entire Cabinet also enjoyed the benefits, moving to Windsor Castle, half on holiday, half office.

"Your Majesty! Governors have been appointed in Normandy and Brittany, and land policy has begun in both places, in accordance with the established strategy of the Cabinet! ”

William, who served almost two terms as prime minister. His Excellency Sersi is only 45 years old this year, but his temples have begun to turn gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead have increased significantly, which shows that the position of Prime Minister is quite difficult to do.

Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, well, it is a mistake in the script, it should be a necessary virtue for a gentleman in England, and the king also saw that he had worked hard for the kingdom for many years, so he specially asked him to sit down and report.

I saw that he was flipping through the copywriting in his hand, wearing glasses, and said softly.

To this end, the central government has specially arranged for hundreds of shrewd and capable young officials to go to the two places! It has caused a lot of repercussions among the people! ”

"Land policy is the most important thing, it is related to the kingdom's rule over the two places, not to be sloppy!"

His Majesty Edward sighed as he looked at the map of France on the wall.

In order to dominate these two places, France lost its Atlantic coast, and thus France lost the basis of a colonial power, becoming a so-called Mediterranean power.

"O France! What a pity that a country with a huge population can only be dismantled, not annexed! ”

The thought that France had a population of 1,800, more than four times that of the United Kingdom, made Edward salivate: "Population is the premise of the great maritime colonization!" What a generous condition! ”

Regarding His Majesty's fantasies, His Excellency the Prime Minister pulled his lips and showed a helpless expression, if France is so easy to annex, can there be a Hundred Years War? The sheer size of the population has brought the United Kingdom to its knees.

"Fortunately, the combined population of Normandy and Brittany this time is enough to add more than one million people to the United Kingdom, a direct increase of a quarter, which is much stronger than natural growth!" Edward muttered.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please pay attention to the strict implementation of the land policy of the two places, which is related to the future of the kingdom and the future of the power!" Turning his head, Edward emphasized.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep an eye on Normandy and Brittany, please rest assured!" His Majesty's repeated emphasis, Prime Minister William immediately agreed earnestly, looking serious and serious.

Land policy is the foundation of kingdom rule!

The so-called land policy consisted of confiscating the land of the Catholic aristocracy and the Church, some of which was distributed to landless peasants for a fee, partly by the government, the military, and the royal family.

Of course, along with the implementation of the agrarian policy, there was also an important policy: the abolition of serfdom.

England was the first in Europe to abolish serfdom, while Western Europe was slow, with large remnants of serfdom in the countryside, which was the basis of the great power of the French aristocracy.

In order to consolidate the rule, the complete abolition of serfdom had to be carried out, and this was a real strategy for the permanent integration of the two places into the United Kingdom.

Of course, all this was quietly going on, and the abolition of serfdom could only begin after the strict implementation of the agrarian policy.

Otherwise, the backlash of the French aristocracy would not be so easy to suppress.

"Let them know that not only the island of Britain, but also Normandy and Brittany are also the territory of the kingdom!"

At the mention of those bureaucrats, Edward was a little angry, from the time of the selection of people to go to France, most of the officials shook their heads and refused without thinking about it, and even the selected people even went through the back door in order to cross their names off the list.

Such an act undoubtedly exposed the bureaucracy's inertia, and also made Edward realize a truth: the bureaucracy is a donkey, if it does not smoke, it will not leave!

For the sake of the future of the kingdom, he dared to be lazy, and the young king was very angry.

Therefore, the king no longer sought out the old officials, but chose the young men who were young and strong, and still had ambition, to go to France.

"For those young people, add a lot to their files, and they will be promoted in the future, they have priority!"

His Majesty said angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think they will definitely implement the central government's policy well and add glory to the kingdom!"

His Excellency the Prime Minister is noncommittal about this, for ministers in high positions like him, there is still a preference for young people, and the most annoying thing is the sleek old officials.

After a brief conversation about politics, the young king began to care about the future of Prime Minister William.

"My Prime Minister, your term of office is at the end of this year, where are you going next? Scotland? Wales? ”

His Majesty returned to his chair and asked half-reclining, his expression relaxed.

In Edward's arrangement, after the prime minister retires, he will usually go to Scotland, Wales, Ireland and other places to resume his administration, so as to continue to use their residual energy.

Of course, it is more important to bring the authority of the central government to the localities and stabilize the localities.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Scotland!" His Excellency the Prime Minister said categorically, without a hint of hesitation.

"Scotland? Are you sure? The king was immediately interested, but also puzzled.

Generally speaking, Wales is the prime minister's first choice to step down, such as former Prime Minister Farris. Alexander.

Wales is not far from London, close to the political center, and it is peaceful and peaceful, and it is very easy to take office.

"Your Majesty, since Scotland joined the United Kingdom, although Scotland has carried out reforms in accordance with the agreement, it is not enough, and what is being done now is far from enough!"

In Prime Minister William's eyes, a trace of passion suddenly appeared, and the whole person seemed to be about to change.

If it was said that it was an old man in the front, it gives the impression of youth now.

"Are you going to continue the reforms in Scotland?" The king asked.

"Wise, Your Majesty!"

"However, the conservative forces in Scotland are very strong, and they may be counterproductive, and it is easy to provoke riots!" Edward said uncertainly.

"Your Majesty, don't talk about the results of so many years of reform, just talk about the garrison of Edinburgh, do the Scots dare?" Prime Minister William said lightly.

"And don't you think that the power of the Scottish nobility is still too strong?"

After thinking for a moment, Edward smiled.

"Okay, I support your decision!"
