Chapter 387: The Jews in the Bank

PS: Ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions

The Hanseatic League, for the time being, is reluctant to take England as a large market.

Choosing to go against England for the sake of an abandoned shipping route is not a good idea, by any measure.

What's more, the annual meeting of the Hanseatic League starts in January, and if you want to deal with England, it will be a long time now!

Edward sneered a few times, not at all looking at the Hanseatic League.

The loose Hanseatic League, with just a few cities, can nullify that and that sanction proposal.

So Edward didn't care about the so-called Hanseatic League at all, and he wasn't afraid of that sanction.

Historically, Elizabeth I expelled the Hanseatic merchants from England, and they did not dare to make any moves.

"Laura, go to the Privy Council and hold a royal council in the afternoon!"

Edward thought about it, although he looked down on the Hanseatic League at the moment, if it was harassed, it would still be quite troublesome for England.

The pot provoked by the king should be borne by the government!

The government is here to bear the blame for the king, otherwise, this government can be dissolved.

Therefore, the next imperial council will specifically study how to deal with the counterattack of the Hanseatic League.

Although he said it lightly, the Hanseatic League is indeed quite a threat at the moment.

Edward felt a little reluctant in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he recovered, as a king, he had to adapt, the government had to adapt, and he was used to it.

In the afternoon, the entire central government was busy preparing several plans as a means of counterattack.

The meeting started quickly, Edward said the matter directly, and then Laura made a specific statement, and he left the conference room.

Of course, he's also busy.

In the afternoon, he needed to meet with the president of the Royal Bank, Adler. Todd.

As the central bank of the royal family, the Royal Bank of England is the central bank of Adler. Under Todd's leadership, throughout the British Isles.

"Your Majesty, in the past five years the Bank of England has had branches in every county of the country, and in all counties of Scotland, Wales, and the island of Ireland, all of which have our branches, and the total number of branches has reached eighty-six, employing one thousand three hundred and forty, and making an annual profit of three hundred thousand pounds!"

Adler. Todd had two whiskers on his lips, dark green eyes, a very serious expression on his face, his head slightly bowed, bent over, and a respectful expression was obvious.

"Moreover, we have also opened branches in France, Spain, Portugal, Naples, Egypt and other places, with a total deposit of 12 million pounds and 300,000 customers!"

"If England can maintain its current momentum, it will reach a million customers in less than three years!"

When he said one million, Todd's face was full of pride, such a huge number of customers almost made the Bank of England the first position, the first in the entire Europa.

In just a few years, I don't know how many centuries of bank have been crossed, and how many people's jaws have been shocked.

Of course, the biggest credit for everything at present actually lies in the support of the royal family.

Among other things, the Bank of England was responsible for the salaries of the entire Guards and the militia, as well as the salaries of the officials throughout England.

The rough sum of these people is not less than 100,000, plus sufficient financial support, the development of the entire Bank of England is called a smooth sail!

300,000 customers in most of Europe.

This number is only due to the lack of training of bank personnel and the lack of sufficient staff work, resulting in no one working even if a branch is opened.

In addition, in this era, there are still too few people who believe in the bank, and they are worried that after they put their money in the bank, they will never return, even if it is opened by the royal family, it is not very reputable.

Of course, Edward knew that the number of one million was just a big picture, and the population of the whole of Europe was only about 20 million, and one-twenty people used the Bank of England, which was impossible to think about.

However, as a dream, it's still good.

"I know, Todd, you're doing a good job!" For such a hero, it is still okay to praise it.

"But—" Edward's eyes froze, and he looked at the cautious Adler. Todd, the somewhat stubborn Jew, had a smile in his eyes.

"I heard that the Bank of England has recently come to the Bank of England with a lot of Jews, are they your relatives?"

Hearing His Majesty's inquiry, Adler's body trembled slightly, and then he cautiously raised his head, looked into His Majesty's eyes, and said softly:

"This, this is indeed my relative, after receiving your majesty's attention, those relatives from the Netherlands came to me and took refuge in me."

"One is because the Bank of England is short of people, and the other is to see that they are more familiar with the banking industry, so they were appointed!"

Saying this, his head drooped more and more, and his waist was also in a ninety-degree shape, although his face could not be seen, Edward could predict that it must be white and blue.

"For the sake of my years of service! Please forgive me for being presumptuous! ”

For this matter, Edward naturally does not take it to heart, take care of relatives and friends, it is just human nature, it is a trivial matter, and it is indeed beneficial to the development of the Bank of England.

"Of course, it's a trivial matter for your friends and relatives to work in the bank, but I don't feel very relieved about their beliefs!"

Edward's attitude was still relaxed, his tone was as calm as ever, but the words he said made Adler's heart tremble.

The greatest conflict between the Jews in Europe was religious belief and did not tolerate Catholicism and all Protestantism.

It was on the basis of faith that the Jews survived; It is by faith that Jews have been so excluded from Europe.

No matter what country a Jew is in, he or she still identifies himself as a Jew from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, they can have no regard for the interests of the country, unleash a financial crisis, exploit the property of civilians, and lead to chaos in the country.

In later generations, even though a large number of Jews lived in the United States, they recognized themselves as Jews in their hearts, and used their vast wealth to influence the United States and thus help Israel.

For them, America is the place to live, but Israel is the real home.

So, one or two Jews, Edward was still able to tolerate, but a large number of Jews entering England, especially financial institutions, broke his bottom line.

If a choice were to be made between the interests of the Jews and the interests of England at some point of future belligerence, those Jews would surely not hesitate to choose to abandon England.

For such a nation, they cannot be allowed to control the lifeblood of a country.
