37, the gathering of people brings more business profits
Looking at Leo's expression of worry, Scott patted his shoulder and said, "Anyway, everything is in my control, don't worry."
Seeing that Scott had said everything to this, Leo couldn't say anything else.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and Scott asked, "By the way, how were the big and small things going on in Norfolk during the day I left? But is there anything big happening?"
"According to the earl's instructions, I have arranged the people of the whole county, and now they are all gathered by us." After a pause, Leo said again: "But due to the excessive concentration of the population and the sharp reduction in living space, there are many conflicts between people. Why don't they be dispersed a little?"
Scott shook his head and said, "Concentrate the population of the whole county so that it is convenient for us to manage, and it is also convenient for us to concentrate all the manpower in the whole county to do big things together! Of course, if there are too many people, it is natural for more conflicts to occur, but from the overall perspective, population concentration is more beneficial than disadvantages! You will know in the future!"
Leo frowned and said, "I feel that they will have conflicts. Maybe the more the reason is that they are too idle! Now Norfolk is full of a lot of labor. They are always wandering around the streets and even wandering around at night, which has brought a lot of inconvenience to social security!"
"If you encounter someone wandering around at night, just catch it and beat it up!" As he spoke, Scott turned around and walked out: "In a short time, the tools will be shipped back. Then these people will be busy. Let's go and accompany me out for a walk."
"Yes." Leo agreed and hurriedly followed behind.
After leaving the Earl's Mansion, the two headed towards Norwich Street.
When he came to the street, Scott felt that the traffic on the street was much larger than before. Almost every few steps, he would meet a group of people. They either gathered together to chat, squatted beside the corner of the wall to bask in the sun, or bought things in front of the small vendors on both sides of the street...
"The recent business trade should have been a lot of revenue, right?" Scott asked with a smile as he looked at the crowded streets.
Leo quickly replied: "This is indeed undeniable. Anyway, the business tax we have collected recently is several times that of the previous one!"
"So that's the benefit of population concentration." Scott smiled and strode forward.
Following Scott, Leo complained: "Now we are all good, the only thing that is a bit unsatisfactory is that the economy in the Norfolk region is too backward, and the number of merchants is too small, so it cannot help boost Norfolk's economic development!"
After hearing this, Scott answered firmly, "Don't worry, after the Heyun Network is built, everything will be fine."

A few days later in London, Bishop Beaufort finally met King Henry VI who came to apologize and apologize.
"Master Bishop!" As soon as he saw Bishop Beaufort, Henry VI quickly stepped forward and smiled attentively: "I have visited you several times, why don't you see you?"
Facing Henry VI's show of kindness, Bishop Beaufort just snorted coldly: "I am an old thing, why should His Majesty the King visit him personally? Please go wherever His Majesty comes from."
Looking at the extremely rude Bishop Beaufort, Henry VI, Count Suffolk and others were helpless.
After all, from the perspective of blood ties, this Bishop Beaufort is the brother of former King Henry IV of England and the uncle of former King Henry V of England. If Henry VI really counts Henry VI, I am afraid that Henry VI would call Bishop Beaufort a grandfather, and this noble blood ties is for such a noble Bishop Beaufort. Bishop Beaufort is qualified to show off his power here.
In addition, Bishop Beaufort was also the leader of the Church of England and the richest businessman in the Kingdom of England. These identities accumulated to kill all the nobles in seconds. Therefore, Bishop Beaufort couldn't help but feel angry when he looked at Henry VI.
"Henry, when you just became king, who paid to support your country? Who attracted the Lancaster nobles to support your rule? Who provided funds for your army to help you stabilize the opposition in the country? You must not have forgotten all these?"
Speaking of this, Bishop Beaufort only used the scepter in his hand and was indignant.
Henry VI sneered: "Sir, I haven't forgotten."
"You said you didn't forget? Then why did you join forces with Humphrey to oppose me? And set restrictions on me everywhere?" Bishop Beaufort gritted his teeth.
Faced with Bishop Beaufort's full anger, Henry VI could only lower his posture and say happily: "Sorry, Master Bishop, this is all Humphrey's fault. From now on, I will never listen to him again. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Bishop Beaufort stopped seeing it: "Since that is the case, I cannot make things too difficult for Your Majesty, but Humphrey must be exiled from London. Can Your Majesty agree to this condition?"
"This..." Henry VI was hesitant.
Bishop Beaufort was displeased when he saw Henry VI like this: "What? Is Your Majesty reluctant to let Humphrey go?"
Henry VI quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not reluctant to let it go, but Humphrey is the regent left by his father. I can't exile him casually, right?"
Bishop Beaufort's face turned cloudy and sunny: "Oh, leave that matter to me, as long as your Majesty adopts my method."
"Everything, I'll listen to the bishop." Henry VI agreed without hesitation: "Master Bishop, I still have something I want to discuss with you today, but I don't know..."
Before Henry VI finished speaking, Bishop Beaufort immediately said: "But is it because of a new turning point on the battlefield in France?"
Henry VI nodded: "Yes, yes, now with the joining of the Norfolk army, the war immediately turned around. The letter from the Duke of Somerset said that the Norfolk army was brave in combat, so I plan to send troops from Norfolk to reinforce the battlefield, and then defeat the French people again and obtain the French crown! But now the funding is tight, and the Earl of Norfolk is unwilling to provide troops for nothing, so I can only come and beg you."
Bishop Beaufort clapped his hands and smiled, "I understand, I don't know how much your Majesty needs?"
Touching his head and thinking for a while, Henry VI asked for 200,000 pounds, or 100,000 royal roses.
"Yes, plus the last loan, I will hold His Majesty's debt of 400,000 pounds." Bishop Beaufort wrote the loan terms as he spoke.
