"We need to submit a proposal for trade sanctions to the English at next year's conference of the League, and submit a letter of protest to the King to resolutely oppose this kind of behavior!"

The Bremen merchant had a beard on his face, his eyes widened, and his bearded eyes were like this, which showed how angry he was in his heart.

The route to Eastern Europe has always been in the hands of Hanseatic merchants, monopolized, and this time England actually challenged the authority of Hanseatic, and they had to be furious.

"It is a shame that England has acted so shamelessly, it is a violation of the dignity of the Hanseatic League, and it is also a violation of the spirit of fair business, and I appeal to all the Hanseatic cities to refuse to do business with England, so that they can experience the offending Hanseatic League!"

The Bremen merchant stood with a big belly, and appealed excitedly to the other merchants sitting beside him.

To his astonishment, however, the rest of the merchants were completely indifferent to his appeal, and some even yawned and were sleepy-eyed.

"Huh! Mr. Pol, don't bother in vain, you may have just arrived and are not familiar with England! ”

At this time, a plump man got up, he pursed his lips, and said meaningfully:

"A few years ago, our merchant war in London was ruined by the young king, and we, the merchants, were driven out of the trading post that had been established for hundreds of years!"

"Our protests, the young king ignored them, and at the League Congress, the representatives of the cities, cowering at the suggestion to teach England a lesson, finally came up with a painless protest letter!"

At this point, the disdain on the merchants' faces was unmistakable, while the rest of the merchants present all showed expressions of approval, and the Hanseatic League had indeed disappointed them.

"The Hanseatic League of today is no longer the Hanseatic League of the past! The various cities are arguing, fighting openly and secretly, and for the English, they are all powerless! ”

His words aroused the emotion of the others, and everyone was dissatisfied.

"I've lost four floors of my business in England and my profits have dropped terribly!"

"Those England are encroaching on our business, and the taxes are still high, and this business can't be done!"

"It's useless, give up!"

…………

One by one, the merchants sighed and complained, and they couldn't stop complaining.

Of course, on the surface, this is naturally the case, and one by one there are heavy losses.

However, the reality is that most of these merchants abandoned the Hanseatic model of buying low and selling high, and no longer engaged in pure state-to-state trade.

Instead, they chose to buy land and build factories in England, and no longer invested 100% energy in the trade business between countries.

After all, for the time being, the Hanseatic League's power throughout Europe continues to decline, and the previous lesson to Denmark can no longer be repeated.

More importantly, the payment of alliance dues is different from city to city, and the contradiction between small cities and large cities is difficult to ease.

At this time, how could the Hanseatic League, which was full of contradictions, compare with England, which had a vast Spanish and Mediterranean market.

These Hanseatic merchants, who had a lot of money, were persuaded by His Majesty the King to invest their money in England, build a land, and become English citizens.

More importantly, in England, these businessmen, big and small, can take the official examination and become an official lord respected by everyone.

Being able to stabilize and become officials and grandchildren and join high society is something that the Hanseatic League can't give.

After all, they are not those merchant families, and the stability of their business is extremely poor, and at sea, if they don't bother to touch the storm, they will be doomed and bankrupt.

Of course, the dozens of big merchants who joined England were given the status of councillors by Edward and divided among the major cities.

So, this is the reason why there are hundreds of factories in London, after all, most of the aristocracy is still resistant to doing business.

"Humph! You, you—" The Cologne merchant saw that everyone looked weak, and his head hurt so much that the words kept coming out of his mouth.

His face was red with anger, his finger pointed at everyone and trembled, and when he saw that everyone looked indifferent, he opened the door in a fit of anger, shook it fiercely, and walked away quickly.

"Knock-" After the door slammed, Mark, who sat in front of him, kept his eyes closed. Loiz, when she finally opened her eyes, looked at the closed door, laughed coldly, then patted her ass and left the conference room.

The others did the same, smiling at the closed door, and then each laughing and leaving.

"Go to the palace!" Commanding his groom, Mark. Loiz sat down, shook his head, and smiled.

"Stupid—" To the indignant businessman just now, Mark. Loiz scolded softly.

At present, the trend of the end of the Hanseatic alliance is already obvious, especially when Spain and Portugal opened the colonial mode, and the end of the alliance is even more shocking.

Seeing this, those knowledgeable families and businessmen, of course, will be a head ahead and plan a retreat in advance, and England, which is on the rise, is one of the choices that his Loys family sees.

He is the spokesperson of the family in England.

"Your Majesty, that's all there is to today's meeting!"

Mark stood in front of the king with a bow, and whispered the contents of the meeting just now, not daring to hide it at all, and said cautiously.

"I see, you can go down!" His Majesty's voice was as calm and crisp as ever.

"Yes!" Mark agreed, then slowly took a few steps back, then turned around, and the maid hurriedly opened the door, and as he was about to leave, the voice of His Majesty was heard in his ears.

"You've done a good job!" The voice is so soft that if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to hear it at all.

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then expanded to his entire face, and he paused and walked away quickly.

He knew that after many years, he had finally made a deep impression in the heart of His Majesty the King, and that his future was broad.

Looking at the departing figure, Edward smiled, then stretched and stood up.

The Hanseatic League is still majestic, but it has long been strong on the outside and not united on the inside, and they dare not even let out a fart in the face of the rising Spain, Portugal, England, and France, and even Novgorod, which has robbed one of the four major trading stations.

Otherwise, how could Chandler establish ties with Moscow, it was because of the robbery of Hanseatic merchants that there were no merchants coming, so Moscow agreed to establish commercial relations with England, and later with the Netherlands.

At the moment, in Edward's eyes, the Hanseatic League is a fart.
