ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions

No one knew what Major James said to the French, and the French side did not take the initiative to publicize it, and the nobles felt that they had kept their mouths shut and did not disclose specific information.

It is only known that half a month later, the English quickly evacuated the city of Franceco, and Henry II marched into the city of Franceco with a group of soldiers in a majestic and high-spirited manner.

The city, which had fallen to the hands of England for several months, finally returned to the arms of the King of France.

At this, the citizens of the city of Francico wept with joy, and the enthusiastic girls, the young teenagers, took to the streets, cheering and jumping.

The same is true of the people of the City Council, which is a municipality and has a great banquet that night to celebrate the return of Francico to the embrace of France.

And for some reason, His Majesty the King did not attend the banquet, and even the other nobles were few.

In this regard, the people of the city council were puzzled one by one, and they could not figure out what medicine the king was selling.

And the next day, it became clear to them what the king intended - to ask for money.

In order to save the city, Francesco had to pay the king 100,000 gold coins as compensation.

At this moment, the original gratitude of the Francico people to His Majesty disappeared in an instant, and they scolded one by one in secret.

This is also not for them to scold the streets, originally the English robbed in the name of the King of France, and the city treasury can already run mice.

And now, King Henry II of France came to grab another one, so that only the city council could only collect taxes from them, so that they would have the funds to compensate the king for his losses.

In this way, Henry II's fame stinked in Franceco, and he did not know it.

On this day, the young King came to his own office again, which was actually a side hall of Whitehall Palace, which he converted into an office.

Originally, he planned to set up his office in the Palace of Westminster, after all, the parliament and the central government were here, and it was very convenient to handle government affairs.

But when he thought about it, he was not a cheap laborer, and someone was responsible for specific affairs, and he usually just met people and grasped the general situation, and there were not many things.

Besides, if the office is set up there and faces a group of men all day long, it will be devastating to yourself if you continue to do so.

So, in the end, the king's office was set up at Whitehall House.

"Your Majesty, John on his way to Spain. Mr. Carrile has returned, and he has been waiting outside the door for a long time! ”

The fireplace in the office was blazing, and a few drops of fine sweat broke out on Edward's forehead, and heat was rolling in the air.

Seeing this, Emma naturally came to the king's side and carefully helped him take off a layer of underwear, which made the young king feel a lot more comfortable.

Seeing that the girl was so understanding, Edward suddenly smiled on his face, and couldn't help but tease: "Emma, you did a good job, I will reward you!" ”

When the girl heard this, her face immediately flushed with drunkenness, and it was extremely rippling, obviously, she also understood what this reward was.

"Haha! Hurry up and let him in, I just have something to ask him! ”

Edward saw the girl bury herself in the tower like an ostrich, and couldn't help but reach for her stiff hips and rub them vigorously.

"Hmm~" The girl didn't dare to resist, so she could only moan coquettishly, and then left the room, out of the king's control.

Edward stared at the girl's somewhat chaotic steps, looked at his rubbing right hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and his heart was extremely proud.

Soon, the stocky and hairy John. Carrile walked in with a wincing face, bowed to the king with excitement, and then stood in front of the king with his head bowed, waiting for his question.

"Say it! Mr. Carrile, have you learned anything in the past few months? ”

Edward took a closer look at his royal merchant, especially his hairy face, and then began to ask his own questions.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" John. Carrile bowed, and then raised his head to look at his young Majesty.

"With the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, we were able to transport our goods all over Spain, where paper and woolen were the most marketable products, and sea salt was not easy to sell, after all, we could not stay in Spain for a long time!"

"So, according to your instructions, I contacted several big nobles and asked them to become our underwriters, responsible for the sales and sale of our sea salt in Spain!"

John. Carrile stroked his long beard and said respectfully and pleasantly.

And he also quietly glanced at the king, and saw that His Majesty the king was serious, and then continued.

"We've only sold half of the goods, and we've made a total profit of nearly £100,000, and that's because we're new to it, and next time we should be able to increase our profits by three tiers."

Saying, John. Carrile had a pity in his tone, very regretful.

But Edward's heart blossomed.

While half of the goods belonged to other nobles and merchants, the most profitable paper and sea salt belonged to the royal family.

So most of the 100,000 pounds belong to the royal family, even if Sir John Carrile didn't say it, but he knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, next, John. Carrile said what he had been waiting for.

"And this time, the royal family's income has reached seventy-seven thousand pounds, and after some necessary expenses and bribes, and the congratulatory gifts you have asked to give to Her Royal Highness, the royal family's net income is forty-seven thousand thirty-six pounds!"

"Very well, my sir, please continue!" Edward nodded in satisfaction and made a gesture asking to continue.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" John. Carrile replied.

"And, by your direction, we have come to Portugal, Naples, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire, to its capital, Constantinople!"

"We present your greeting letter to the Ottoman Sultan, but also paper and wool!"

"His Excellency the Sultan was very satisfied with this, and he expressed his willingness for English merchants to come to the Ottomans for business!"

"Oh? That's good news! I'm sure you'll encounter a lot of pirates at sea! ”

Edward was not surprised by the establishment of commercial contacts with the Ottoman Empire.

Although they were pagans, the Ottomans were the most money-loving people, and they would not refuse any opportunity to earn money, even when dealing with pagans.

"Yes, Your Majesty, thanks to the request of Her Royal Highness the Princess, we were able to repel several waves of pirates with the help of the Spanish Navy!"

John. Carrile said with a look of luck on his face, his tone full of gratitude.
