90. Strengthening ties with Greenland
Andrew smiled uneasyly and said, "Since you two have a good relationship, can you advise the Earl of Norfolk and ask him to find a lover in the Norfolk area!"
"I'll go, you just asked me to find His Earl for this?" Leo almost spitted out blood: "There are so many women in Norfolk, isn't it enough for you to find a lover?"
Andrew patted Leo on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It is natural to find a woman, but I don't want to settle for it like this! I hope the Earl of Norfolk can arrange a woman for me so that he will not have such great suspicion for me!"
After hearing Andrew's words, Leo was stunned. He never expected that this rough man would have such delicate thoughts and ideas: "So, are you planning to eliminate the count's misunderstanding of you through marriage?"
"Yes, after all, I'm from outside, and I have so many people in my hands. I'm afraid Count Norke is very suspicious and anxious about me. If he doesn't dispel his concerns at this time, then when an unexpected situation suddenly happens, he will definitely be the first to kill me." Speaking of this, Andrew shrank his neck: "I have heard about Count Norfolk. According to legend, his methods are very ruthless and his mind is very meticulous. Anyway, I will definitely not be able to beat him."
Leo also sighed beside him: "Yes, the Count's methods and thoughts are really beyond the reach of people. I remember that when he was on the battlefield in France, he led us to win more with less and successfully attack the enemy's fortress many times. It can be said that he is a very excellent military commander, and almost no one who is enemies with him ends up."
Andrew grabbed Leo's hand and said, "So, I have to seek a way to protect myself. I will leave this matter to you, and I don't want a knife hanging on my head that could fall down at any time!"
"Okay, I will tell the count when I arrive at the Earl's Mansion later." Leo quickly pulled back his hand, then nodded in agreement.
The two walked for nearly twenty minutes and then arrived at the Earl's Mansion.
As soon as the guards at the door saw the two of them coming, they hurried forward to greet them.
He greeted the guards, and then Leo rushed to them and ordered: "Take Lord Andrew to the hall to rest. I will go to find the earl first. By the way, is the earl in the study?"
"Yes, Mr. Leo, the Earl Master is in the study." The soldiers lowered their heads and replied.
Seeing Leo leave him behind, Andrew was a little unhappy: "Let's go to see the Count together, why are you going alone?"
"I'll tell you about that thing first in front of the count!" Leo replied in a low voice.
"Oh, let's leave this matter to you." He smiled and hit Leo's arm, Andrew followed the guards to the hall first.
Leo hurried to Scott's study.
Seeing Leo come in, Scott stood up and greeted him and sat down: "How is it? How is the matter in Greenland?"
"Everything was handled very well!" Leo said and began to report the relevant situation in detail to Scott:
"When we left Greenland and returned to Norfolk, we left a small army on the island, and they will be responsible for local security and order! At the same time, this time I went to Greenland, I also brought a few priests to spread Catholicism to them and better maintain our rule in the Greenland region!"
"Businessmen such as Alfreid have also established fixed commercial connections with Greenland. Every once in a while, they will send necessary daily necessities to the Greenland area. Correspondingly, they will also ship specialties from the Greenland area to the European continent for sale. I believe that in this way, whether it is economic or political connection, Greenland will stand with us forever."
Scott nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, in short, our connection with Greenland must be very close, so our rule will be very stable."
"By the way, the Count has another thing to report to you, this is about my wife's brother Andrew." Leo reported the relevant situation to Scott while speaking.
Scott raised his eyebrows: "Did he really think so?"
Leo replied, "Yes, he really thought so!"
"It's rare that he has such a mind. OK, I'll handle this matter." As he said that, Scott stood up: "Since he's in the Earl's Mansion now, then that's what I want. I'll go see my mother now and see if there are suitable candidates around me."
After saying that, Scott hurried into the inner house.
In the inner house, Mrs. Maria and several daughters were savoring pastries together. When she saw Scott coming, several people waved to him: "Come and sit down quickly. This pastry was brought back by Robson from London, and it was very delicious."
Scott waved his hand and said, "It's good that my mother likes it. By the way, I have something I want to ask you for help."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Maria gracefully placed the pastry on the plate.
After briefly telling Mrs. Maria about the matter, Scott said: "Is there a suitable candidate for my mother?"
Mrs. Maria frowned and replied, "There must be a candidate, but do you think this will win over Andrew?"
"Then is there no way to do this? After all, he has offered it on his own initiative. Can I not agree?" Scott shook his head helplessly: "Besides, Andrew is the previous naval general of the Swedish Kingdom. If he is there, then the Norfolk region will easily form a powerful navy."
Mrs. Maria disagreed with Scott's idea: "He can indeed help you form a navy, but accordingly, once the navy is formed, then this navy will only listen to his orders and not your orders! Don't look at him as he seems to be very loyal at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future? Don't succeed in his hands and defeat in his hands."
Feeling that what Mrs. Maria said makes sense, Scott asked her for her opinion directly: "What does mother mean?"
