Edward felt that he was almost the richest man in England, even on the continent, except for the Church, of course.

And this money can be consumed by a single war for the country.

According to statistics, during 1511~1547, Henry VIII spent a huge amount of 2134784 pounds in France and Scotland, and even triggered a local rebellion in England.

So Edward rejoiced too early, governing the country is not so simple.

At this time, money can be extremely useful, he can redeem your life in war, he can make a despicable merchant a nobleman, and he can give a dying country a new life.

And without money, even if you are a nobleman, you can be more despicable than a merchant; Even a country with a virtuous king and a virtuous minister will perish in an instant.

So, Charles I of the Stuart dynasty was guillotined because of money; Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty of France not only guillotined himself, but also his family.

So money was an original sin, and it was also the greatest pursuit of Europeans in their lives at that time.

Edward stopped lusting and began to think about how to spend the money.

Continue to open a tavern? No! The whole of England has already met the market demand, and any more will outweigh the losses. Or open a pub in Europe! Great idea, just do it!

Hahaha! Edward was proud of his idea. Forgive a college student for being naïve about starting a business!

Wait a minute! I can learn from the practices of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, adopt orphans, and build strength.

Edward decided to adopt orphans in order to develop his true strength.

Edward's decision to do this was also based on the social situation of the time.

The 16th century was a period of explosion in the population of the entire British Isles.

The population of Wales rose from 210,000 in 1500 to 380,000 in 1603; The population of Scotland and Ireland also reached 1.5 million in 1603; The population of England also reached 4.1 million, from 2 million in 1500 to 3.01 million in 1551.

It can be said that the population of England as a whole has exploded, which is the main reason for immigration from North America.

At that time, England's population was characterized by 38 per cent of the population under the age of 15 and infants. In order to feed these people who are unable to work, it puts unbearable pressure on poor families who have no land and little land.

As a result, these families were uprooted from their homes, begging everywhere, and became part of the army of displaced people.

So having more children is also a kind of suffering!

At that time, orphans accounted for almost one-fifth of the juvenile population, especially those who had no permanent home, and it became the biggest social problem in England.

The next day, Edward, who had just woken up, hurriedly summoned the first Senhu Guy of the Flying Fish Guard. Ham.

And Guy has changed into the gorgeous clothes given to him by Edward, trimmed his messy hair, and looks like a handsome middle-aged little guy.

"Your Majesty! Your loyal guardian Guy. Ham is here to meet you! Guy saluted Edward politely.

"Yes! Guy, you haven't eaten yet! Let's do it together! Edward said with affinity.

"This! This! May I? Guy was a little overwhelmed, after all, it was the first time he had eaten with nobles, especially Edward, the largest nobleman in England.

"Of course, my dear sir!" Edward replied.

"Please! Mr. Ham! Luna pulled out her chair just in time to invite.

Guy sat stiffly on his chair, his hands swinging unconsciously, and his eyes looked around curiously, looking at the dishes on the long table in amazement.

Roast goose with a golden glow, snow-white bread, black-red fish sauce, an unknown roast pig that looks appetizing, ruddy steak, a bottle of red wine from Orleans, France......

All of this made Guy salivate so much that he forgot to start.

"Guy! Why are you in a daze! Ready! "Yes, Your Majesty!" As if awakened, Guy hurriedly responded.

Of course, as usual, before eating, pray to God and his old man.

The time for praying was not long, and the time for eating was not long, mainly because Lord Ham, who had just become a thousand households, ate too quickly. In less than ten minutes, the roast goose and half a roast suckling pig were eaten, and Edward was also affected and spent 20 minutes eating three pieces of bread and half a roast goose.

After breakfast, Edward took Guy to the study and began his first mission since the establishment of Flying Fish.

Edward sat down in a chair next to his desk, leaning back against a large bookshelf for compression, and the variety of books was dazzling to Guy's eyes.

Since the 16th century, the printing press has gradually spread, and the price of books has continued to fall, but it is impossible for a poor man like Guy to afford it, even in his pre-bankruptcy gentlemanhood, at most only a few books.

Guy stood respectfully in front of Edward, making a deaf appearance.

Edward enjoyed Guy's respect and cleared his throat, "Guy, I'm giving you a task now, and you must do your best to complete it!" ”

Seeing Edward's rare solemn look, Guy had to follow the solemnity and cheer up his spirits.

"Now, in addition to recruiting and expanding, you will do your best to adopt orphans, whether male or female, I want it! Try to accept those under 14 years old! Edward, fearing that Guy wouldn't work hard, added another sentence.

"This is the first test for you and Flying Fish, don't let me down, take the consequences!" Guy's brain echoed Edward's words as he walked into David's in the western suburbs of London, saying it was a restaurant rather than a food stall.

David's Restaurant is located in the western suburbs of London, next to the River Thames, and is used as a supply point by small merchants and travelers from all walks of life, so it is very popular and it is still a good temporary headquarters for Flying Fish Guard.

“Hi！ Mr. Ham! Jack, the waitress who was busy entertaining guests, did not forget to say hello to Guy, and little Jack felt that Mr. Ham was a big man.

Because one day he secretly saw that the boss Robert, who was not in a hurry with the lord, nodded to Mr. Ham in a box, so with his thirteen years of experience in observing words and feelings, Mr. Ham must be a big man.

Jack hopes that he will make a good impression in the eyes of Mr. Ham, and that it may be an opportunity to change his destiny in the future.
