Chapter 568 Impact

Half of the customs duties are directly transferred to the crown as a stipend, although different from the full customs duties of England being charged to the crown family, but it is still very tempting.

Although Edward had been concerned about all the duties in Ireland, it would have been nice to get half of the tariffs given the revolt.

"It seems that the Irish have understood that I must eat the meat of tariffs, and it is better to exchange it for some interest than to be taken away for no reason?"

Edward stared at John, who was nervous on his face. Perrotte, with a slight smile on his face, then shook his head lightly and said:

"My Lord Governor, although I am very satisfied with the wishes of the Irish, but for the time being, I do not have this request, and the matter of customs duties will have to wait for later!"

"As for allegiance, it's not proven by money!"

Half of the tariff was very tempting, and Edward was almost deluded.

Scotland, Wales, England, all customs duties belong to the royal family, and you Ireland special? Half of the tariff is given directly, and the conditions have to be negotiated.

My God, I am the true King, the Master of the United Kingdom.

Sooner or later, Irish customs will go into the hands of the Crown, and not the so-called handouts and negotiations will be required.

This is an insult to royal power.

His Majesty's last sentence was full of deep meaning, and even his eyes seemed to have a different meaning.

Looked at John. Perrotte glanced at Edward with a sneer, turned his face away, and then rode away at a speed.

It was like a thunderclap that frightened His Excellency the Governor, who lowered his head and looked expectant.

At this moment, he felt what it means to be a companion.

The king, who was still talking and smiling just now, suddenly became cold in the atmosphere, and a strong sense of political crisis permeated his whole body.

John. Only then did Perrotte feel that he had put His Majesty the King and the Doge's Palace on the same level for a time to negotiate.

Leaving the political center for a long time made his political sense of smell lower all of a sudden, careless.

Although the governor was known as the vice-king, since the Wars of the Roses, several nobles dared to negotiate with the king, and they were treated as equals.

In this way, the sudden loss of vigilance made John. Perrotte was nervous, knowing that he had to make amends, or his political life might be over.

Sure enough, the next day, His Majesty Edward met with Barron, who was stationed in Dublin. Baldwin Knight, and had a series of intimate conversations with the top brass of the army.

Barron. Baldwin Knight said that he would definitely make the Irish garrison stronger, for the king, for the United Kingdom, to defend this charming island.

During this time, His Majesty also bought a large number of cattle and sheep and fine wine, and rewarded the thousands of troops in Dublin, who had been trained much more diligently lately.

On the third day, His Majesty the King had a cordial conversation with the members of the Irish Parliament, and then offered cordial solutions to the problems encountered by the Irish tribal nobles and the members of the Irish Parliament.

At this point, John. Perrotte knew that the Governor's Palace would not be able to stop the tariffs, and it was doomed to lose this huge revenue.

If he tried to stop it, there was a certain chance of success, but when he went down, the next governor would definitely obey the arrangement.

So, in the interests of his own future and the local Ireland, John . . . Perrotte chose the best answer.

"Knock - I solemnly declare that, after a secret ballot of a large number of Members, one hundred and fifty votes in favour and thirty-two against, this time by John Brown. Bill 123 submitted by His Excellency Governor Perrotte will come into force from now on! ”

The gray-haired Speaker, dropped his hammer and officially announced in a loud voice that the proposal had passed.

Immediately, thunderous applause rang out.

Of course, there were also a few councillors who slapped the table very angrily, and then chose to leave in a fit of rage, not caring at all about the strange stares of others.

Hearing this, Edward smiled at first, for this kind of person, there are everywhere, and he is dedicated to the public! Understandable.

Then, within a month, the MPs were forced to withdraw from the Irish Parliament for one reason or another.

The tariff was officially in the bag, and Edward was very interested in John. Perrotte's anger has also disappeared a lot.

After all, people are also single-mindedly for the United Kingdom, and conflicts between the United Kingdom and the royal family must be inevitable, and interested politicians need to carefully consider and make a choice.

This time, it can be regarded as a lesson for him, after all, he is only forty years old, he is very proud, and his political experience is still relatively weak.

What's more, people are still their father's illegitimate children, and they still need to be given a chance.

After Edward harvested more than 30 counties and four provinces in Ireland, he spent nearly a month to carry out a royal propaganda activity on the entire big island.

Thousands of troops were escorted by thousands of troops, driving slowly along the avenue that gradually ran through the counties of the island.

Along the way, immigrants, officials, and Celtic nobles came to meet them, and Edward did not hesitate to give gifts as a form of affection.

Of course, people also have offerings, cattle and sheep, deerskins, gold, and even beautiful women, everything, Edward refused and did not accept.

After all, this is an opportunity to promote the presence of the royal family, and leaving a favor is more important than money.

Therefore, along the way, Edward is equivalent to scattering wealth everywhere, and in less than a month, tens of thousands of pounds will be gone, which is not too exaggerated.

But the benefits are huge.

First of all, Edward already had a general understanding of the situation in Ireland, and fully understood that population growth was the reason for the vendetta of the Celts.

So, with a stroke of the pen, His Majesty recruited three thousand men directly from the Celts, formed the Irish Guard, and incorporated them into the ranks of the Guards.

The second point is that spending money is really the best way to brush up on goodwill, especially the army's perfect discipline and no disturbance to the people, coupled with Edward's series of pro-people actions, left a deep impression on the Irish people.

Decades later, the Irish are still talking about it with relish.

For example, one tribe had no wells and had to go to a river more than a dozen miles away to fetch water, but that river belonged to another tribe, and a series of conflicts arose.

His Majesty knew about it and immediately ordered the army to dig a deep well, so that the contradictions between the two tribes would disappear.

In this week's Irish Weekly, there is a strong explanation of this little thing.

It was later reprinted in the London Daily, the Scottish Weekly, the Welsh Weekly, and the Union Weekly.

For a time, throughout Ireland, the influence of the Tudor royal family rose rapidly, basically satisfying the requirements of His Majesty.
