After shaking off the hands of several merchants, Simon said coldly: "Please pay attention to your identities. Who is your friend?"

Several businessmen were stunned and quickly said, "Hey, what do you mean? When we were in the Netherlands before..."

Simon turned around and sat on the chair and raised his head: "That's in the Netherlands, don't forget, this is Norfolk! The place in the Kingdom of England! Tell me, what's the matter with me, I'm still busy."

Faced with Simon's attitude, several merchants looked at each other, and then a merchant spoke: "Oh, that's right. We heard that you are specializing in herring fishing in the Norfolk area. Now we urgently need a batch of herring and want to buy it from you.... What if the price is still at the previous price?"

"The price before?" Simon raised his eyebrows: "When is it? Do you still dare to mention the price before? Do you still want to bully me at a low price? OK, I won't tell you anything else, go back and forth! Norfolk's herring will never be sold."

"Simon, why are you such a person? You weren't like this before!"

"That's right, after joining Norfolk, you seem to be possessed by a demon!"

"Is there anyone who does this kind of thing?"

Simon smiled and said, "I am the only attitude of doing things. Are you not convinced? If you don't agree, you will hold it in my mind!"

Since joining Norfolk, Simon has not learned anything else, but he has learned Scott's unreasonable appearance vividly. His actions at this moment are simply a replica of Scott.

…………

About a few minutes later, these Dutch merchants were rudely driven out by Simon.

"What does this Simon mean? When I was in the Netherlands, I didn't see him so arrogant. Why did he become so arrogant immediately after joining the Kingdom of England? The changes before and after are really too big!"

"There is no way, who can make people have a great status in the Norfolk area at this moment? Haven't you heard those fishermen say? The Earl of Norfolk has promised Simon that as long as Simon works hard and devotes himself to Norfolk, he will be granted the title of nobles! I think in the near future, Simon will be a noble, and we are still civilians!"

"What's the use of saying these words? I'm still trying to find a way to buy herring, otherwise our business will be gone!"

"What else can I do? I can only ask for the Earl of Norfolk again!"

"Oh, that's all!"

Simon forced her to have no choice but to come to Norwich to pay homage to Scott again.

Scott was carefully drawing a map in the study room at this time. When he heard the attendant report, he hurriedly collected the map and said, "Okay, let them come to the study room to see me!"

Soon, several Dutch merchants appeared in front of Scott with helpless expressions on their faces.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Scott knew that Simon did not let them succeed.

Even though Scott knew it clearly, he still had to pretend to be confused: "How is it? Have you bought herring?"

Several merchants shook their heads: "I don't know why? They just refused to sell us herring! So we can only come to see the Count again and ask the Count to help us and provide us with some herring."

After hearing this, Scott still looked embarrassed and said: "Didn't I tell you all? I really can't interfere in the affairs of the people, so I can't come forward to this matter, so don't make things difficult for me!"

Looking at Scott's appearance, a middle-aged businessman finally couldn't hold back. He walked up and said, "Earl, you are a great nobleman in the Norfolk area. It can be said that all the sentient beings in Norfolk are in your hands. As long as you say a word, anything can be solved! But why can't this be solved now? Obviously, you are all arranged. My bold guess now is that you don't want to sell the herring to us at all, so you did this."

Scott was slightly embarrassed when he was said to be thinking, and then he felt relieved: "I don't think you are stupid? Not bad, this matter is arranged by me!"

"Why did the Count dare to do this? We don't seem to have anything that the Count likes? Why do you spend so much effort for us?"

With a cough, Scott directly replied: "Since you have already said it, I won't hide it. Since hundreds of years ago, the Netherlands and England have always been a competitive relationship, especially in recent years, the power of your Netherlands merchants has developed too strongly. Therefore, in order to protect the interests and living space of Norfolk's merchants, I can only do this! Of course, if you are willing to join Norfolk, then I will naturally protect your interests."

After hearing Scott's words, several Dutch merchants were stunned: "Join Norfolk?"

"Yes, just join my Norfolk!" Scott said with a smile: "The Netherlands is now under the rule of the Duchy of Burgundy. What did Philip III of Burgundy do to you? You are not sure that Philip III not only plunders your wealth at will in order to launch a foreign war, but also threaten your lives at will. So is it necessary for you to stay in that place?"

"I know clearly that the Duke of Burgundy strictly prohibits fishermen from going out to sea to fish. If fishermen do not go out to sea to fish, then you will not get any herring! If there is no herring, your trading business will be greatly affected, and you will lose a lot of partners! So, come to my Norfolk."

Seeing that several merchants had heard it, Scott quickly struck while the iron was hot and promised benefits: "After you come to my Norfolk, all the herrings caught by Simon and others can be provided to you as trade products. At the same time, I will not easily launch foreign wars, so my taxes are not as heavy as the Duke of Burgundy! In addition, if your business encounters any risks overseas, I will immediately send troops to help you solve the problem. Don't you think about it?"

Several businessmen showed thoughtful expressions.

After a long time, a businessman said: "The living environment in the Netherlands is indeed difficult, but accordingly, the market there is very huge and the economy is very developed. We have a large number of people to buy our products. Therefore, even though the Duke of Burgundy is very heavy, we can still make money! But if we come to Norfolk, we are afraid that we will really lose a lot of money. After all, Norfolk's economy is backward and far away from the European continent, and with whether there are related product processing facilities, I think this will be very costly."
