77, everything is within my grasp
Listening to the words of his companions, the others nodded: "Yes, even a foreigner can become a noble. What reason do we have not to become a noble?"
"It seems that becoming a noble now is quite simple. As long as you work hard and pay taxes to the count."
…………
The fact that Simon successfully became a noble seemed to stimulate the people in the square. They kept chattering and discussing, and some people even started to dream of a noble.
Listening to the positive shouts of the people around him, Scott knew that his purpose had been achieved and nodded with satisfaction: "Simon, the noble gift ceremony has ended. I think you should go back to Great Yarmouth to work as soon as possible. After all, the people from the London Chamber of Commerce will come tomorrow!"
He couldn't put down his hand and touched the badge on his chest again and again. Simon nodded quickly: "Please rest assured, I'll hurry back now."
Patting Simon on the shoulder, Scott reminded him with concern: "When you go back, remember to bring my words to the London Chamber of Commerce, do you understand?"
Simon agreed nodded, and then turned around and headed towards Great Yarmouth with his own people.
"Okay, let's go back too, everything here is over." Seeing that Simon had left, Scott turned around and waved to Leo.
Hearing Scott calling himself, Leo came to his senses: "Earl, is this your purpose? Use Simon's things to stimulate other people's determination?"
Scott smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I just want to set an example for others with Simon's affairs, and then stimulate their ambitions, fully mobilize their enthusiasm, and thus provide greater impetus for Norfolk's development."
Faced with Scott's clever plan, Leo had a negative view: "But there are so many people, how can Norfolk provide so many noble titles?"
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure." Scott answered disapprovingly: "Aristocratic titles like the Knights need as much as possible, even if you give each person a knight title, that's fine!"
Leo's brows frowned even more: "This, too many knights have been born, this seems not good, right? Don't have a knight there before Norfolk will take a few steps, that's really crazy!"
Scott laughed: "What's so crazy? If there are too many knights, then just send them to the battlefield to consume one wave. After consumption, add a new knight rank, and then continue to send them to the battlefield for consumption. In this way, are you still worried about too many knights?"
Speaking of this, Scott grinned: "In short, the number of knights can definitely be controlled within a reasonable range."
"Earl, you are too strong." After hearing Scott's plan, Leopard was impressed. This arrangement was really sinister.
"By the way, Earl, I seemed to have heard just now that you were going to provide the baron to some people. Isn't it a bit hasty to do this? You know, there is not much land in Norfolk!" Leo said with a frown again.
"Oh! That's just me talking about it. I'm really stupid enough to increase the baron? That's just leaving them a thought." As he spoke, Scott got into the car: "Do they have the right to become barons? Isn't it my final word? So, you don't have to be too nervous. Now I can tell you the truth that everything is in my control."
According to Scott's plan, there are many knights, even if they are sold to foreign countries with gold coins at that time.
As for the baron, it is just a blank check. As for when this check can be cashed? Maybe it will have to wait until the sea is gone.
After listening to Scott's plan, Leo was very convinced: "Earl, you are so bad! Where can you do this like this!"
"Learn hard and don't be stupid every day. When others sell you, you will still charge others for money." After saying this, Scott put down the curtain of the car, then leaned against the wall of the car with his eyes squinted.
…………
Since I was busy for a long time last night, it was already afternoon when Scott woke up the next day.
After hearing the movements in the room, the maids outside the door quickly pushed open the door and went inside to wait for Scott to change his clothes.
While several maids were helping Scott dress, the guards reported to him: "Earl, Lord Andy, the news came that Mr. Alfred had arrived and was waiting for you in the study room! I wonder if you can see him?"
When Scott heard this, he replied: "Oh! Let him wait a little longer, and I will eat something to replenish my energy!"
After putting on his clothes and washing his face, Scott had lunch under the maid's service, and then went to the study.
As soon as he entered the study, Scott heard Alfreid talking to Andy: "Mr. Andy, I heard that Simon became a nobleman?"
Andy smiled and replied: "Yes, Mr. Alfreid, since Lord Simon joined Norfolk, he has made great contributions to the development of Norfolk. Norfolk's herring fishing has also increased rapidly due to his arrival, and the number of fishermen has increased sharply because of him, so the Earl gave him the title of noble!"
"Oh, when I was in business with him before, he was just an ordinary fisherman, but now he has become a nobleman. I don't know what words to use to describe this matter!" As he spoke, Alfred spoke in envy and jealous tone.
Seeing that Alfreid was a little disappointed, Andy comforted him: "Mr. Alfreid, you don't have to envy Lord Simon. In fact, with your identity and ability, you will definitely be a nobleman in Norfolk."
"Is that?" Yalfred's eyes lit up.
Without waiting for Andy to answer, Scott's voice came in from outside the door: "Yes, Andy said it right. With your identity and ability, you can definitely become a nobleman in Norfolk. Of course, the premise is that you must first make great contributions to Norfolk!"
"Earl." As soon as he saw Scott coming in, Alfreid and Andy quickly stood up and saluted.
"Has the Netherlands been processed?" Turning around and sitting down in the upper seat, Scott waved his hand to signal the two to sit down.
"It has been almost done. I have started to carry goods recently! But it may take some time to wait until the full move is complete!" As he said that, Alfreid stood up again to thank: "When I came to Great Yarmouth this time, I happened to meet someone from the London Chamber of Commerce. I heard that the Count had refused to provide them with herring again, so I would like to express my gratitude for this."
