"Your Majesty, please command, as long as I can do it, I promise to resolutely carry it out!"

Adler gritted his teeth and hurriedly pandered, lest he lose his chance to live.

Staying in the prison, watching the various businessmen with whom he had consulted were dragged out one by one to be hanged, while he and his family could only endure the torment, for fear that he would be next.

Facing the little king in front of him, who was a little pale, Adler said this carefully, looking at his color from time to time.

"Mr. Adler, you're Jew!" Edward picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at the cowering man in front of him.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty! I.. Jews indeed!! ”

As soon as he heard this question, Adler's face couldn't help but show panic, and he stammered a little.

He couldn't help but struggle in his heart, and being a Jew brought him endless obstruction and discrimination.

However, his identity is well known and cannot be concealed in front of this king of England.

"Your Majesty, although I am a Jew, I have lived in England for more than ten years, and I already consider myself English!"

It seems that he is afraid that Edward will give up his chance because of his identity, and he can't help but explain.

"Oh! Mr. Adler, you don't need to explain, I already know who you are! ”

Edward was amused by his drawing, and then said.

As soon as Edward's words came out, Adler's heart suddenly pulled out the cold, and the whole person was about to fall. Fortunately, Edward's words saved him.

"But, Mr. Adler, it's your talent that I fancy so your Jew status doesn't matter!"

As soon as Edward's words were finished, Adler's face immediately appeared a colorful color, which made Edward look amazed.

"Your Majesty, please speak! No matter what task you ask, I will do my best to complete it! ”

Adler was still a little moved in his heart at this time, after all, in the Middle Ages, there were very few monarchs who could abandon his identity and value his talent!

Therefore, for the sake of his own life and his family's life, he patted his chest and said excitedly.

"But, my sir, it's time for you and your family to change their faith!"

"I think you should convert to Anriganzong! That way, you can do things for me! ”

Edward was noncommittal about his assurances, and the words slowly floated out of his mouth.

Adler felt like a mouthful of blood in his heart at this time, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Sure enough, Edward's move choked Adler, and for a while, the atmosphere became dull again.

Adler couldn't choose for a while, is faith important? Or is life important? It's a mess in his brain.

But Edward didn't bother to wait for him and directly helped him make a choice.

"Come, take Mr. Adler away and reunite them for a while! I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future! ”

"This, damn it, what a shameless means, what should I do? What should I do?

Adler couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his face when he saw the guards getting closer and closer, and he felt his legs cramp a little.

Just as he was about to be taken away, Edward finally heard an answer that he was satisfied with.

"Your Majesty - I am willing, I am willing to convert, I am willing to bring my family to convert!"

After saying this, Adler seemed to collapse, and the whole person had no strength.

The guards also let him go at Edward's signal, and Adler sat on the ground, with tears and snot on his face, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Alright, my sir, cheer up!" Although Edward was originally from China, he still knew something about the Middle Ages.

In ancient China, wars could have been waged between two countries over interests or insults to the monarch and his ancestors.

And in the Middle Ages, two people, perhaps because of their different beliefs, would give you a gavel from behind you when you were shopping, and let you go to God.

The same is true between two countries, where faith can turn two unrelated countries into enemies.

In one sentence, faith is everything.

Therefore, Edward forced Adler, a Jew, to renounce his faith and switch to Anglicanism, which was as difficult to accept as the ancient Chinese forcing him to change his surname.

"Mr. Adler, you've made the right idea!"

"In recognition of your act of proselytizing, I give you a surname - Todd"

"In the future, you can use it as your last name!"

Edward walked over and patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him.

Todd, which means a person who believes in God, was generally used as a surname in ancient England.

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your surname!" Adler smiled stiffly, and Edward felt more ugly than crying.

Back in his seat, Adler wiped his face, tidied up his appearance, and regained some of the banker's looks.

"Mr. Adler, oh no! It's Mr. Todd, and I'm still optimistic about your talent in running a bank! ”

Edward flipped through the information, crossed Erlang's legs, and said softly.

When he first arrived in London, Adler had nothing but twenty pounds on him and a mine secured by Henry VIII.

So he took the mine and mortgaged it from the English merchants, and received two hundred pounds, though this was a large chunk less than the thousand pounds he lent to Henry VIII.

Holding two hundred and twenty pounds, he did not keep the huge amount of money in his hands this time.

He took a closer look and decided to lend out.

Sheep farming became fashionable due to the prolific export of fine wool from England, but Adler's observations revealed that only the nobles and gentlemen had the money to expand their sheep farming, while the petty gentlemen and jomannons could not.

Adler saw a business opportunity. He lent two hundred pounds of pounds in his hand to the little gentlemen and jomannon who had no money left to enlarge.

So Adler lent them at an interest rate of 50 percent a year for half a year, and their sheep became collateral.

And for half a year, he could only live in a small hotel, eat black bread, and live on twenty pounds.

This was difficult for him, a well-known banker in the Netherlands.

Half a year later, his fortune became three hundred pounds, and another year later, six hundred pounds.

So, he redeemed the mine, opened it for two hundred pounds, and lent it out for two hundred pounds.

Ten years later, he was a man of the upper echelons of London, with a fortune in the tens of thousands of pounds and five banks.

That's why Edward crossed him off the death list and let him appear in front of his eyes.

"So, I've decided I'm going to give you an important mission!"

Edward's face became serious at this time, and the person sat up straight, his voice a little solemn.

Edward sat up even more straight, with a look of importance on his face.

"My Mr. Todd, I have given you the task of forming the Royal Bank of England in my capacity as King of England, and I ask you to complete it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I, Adler. Todd will definitely complete the task you have set! ”

Adler replied with a straight face.

"It's just, Your Majesty, do you mean that the Royal Bank doesn't know what the difference is between an ordinary bank?"

Looking at Adler with a question on his face, Edward thought for a moment, and then said:

"The Royal Bank, to which I speak, not only could exchange the currencies of various countries for pounds sterling at will, but also kept their gold and silver coins for merchants and individuals.

And, the Royal Bank can lend money to individuals and merchants! ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that it can get my authorization to mint pounds in gold and silver!"

"But, Your Majesty, isn't it the business of the Royal Mint to mint pounds?"

At first, Adler was actually quite happy to hear that the bank he had formed had so much power, but he put forward his own opinions on the contradictions.

"That's right, but I've decided to merge the Royal Mint into the Royal Bank of England, so there's no conflict!"

Edward took a sip of his tea and slowly spat out a word.

But if Sir John, the Minister of Crown Affairs, hears it, it will be another ghost crying wolf.

"So, do you have any other needs to complete this task? Say it all at once! ”

"Well, Your Majesty, I wonder how much money you are going to give me to form the Royal Bank of England?"

Hearing Edward's impatient voice, Adler felt a little scared in his heart, and then, as if he was afraid of annoying Edward again, he asked softly.

"Uh......" This time it was Edward's turn to be embarrassed, and he didn't think of using money at all.

"So be it! I'll give you 10,000 pounds, which I gave you all at once, and there will be no more appropriations in the future! ”

"Thank you, my majesty!" As soon as he heard such a large number, Adler's face instantly showed a trace of joy, and he felt Edward's full trust in him at this time, and his body seemed to be full of energy.

"Add to that your five bank stores in London, and that's all I've got for you!"

"Don't be too happy, I still have requirements for you!"

Edward's words made Adler's face a little embarrassed, but he didn't care so much and said directly.

"You have to have the Royal Bank of England have a branch in all the counties of England and Wales!"

"Two years, I'll give you two years, that's a requirement you have to complete!"

"Yes. . . Your Majesty! I'll definitely complete your mission! ”

After listening to Edward's request, the passion on Adler's face became even stronger, and he said loudly in a full voice.

"Good!! As long as you complete this task, I will knight you! ”

Edward stood up, patted Adler, who was a little bent, and said in a seductive tone.
