When he thought of Cardinal White's terribleness and strength, when he thought of Cardinal White's sinister and viciousness, when he thought of Cardinal White's terrible connections and strength, Prake shuddered. He really didn't have the capital to compete with Cardinal White.

Clenched his fists and clenched his teeth and bite them. Cardinal Prak finally got up and left the seat he had been sitting in for several years.

"You are cruel." Cardinal Prak quickly left the parliament hall with his men.

The nobles of Naples were stunned by the scene in front of them. The Archbishop of the Cardinal, who had always been high and never bowed to anyone, chose to give in at this moment. Everyone was speculating on the identity of White, the Archbishop of the Kingdom of Portugal.

At this moment, the nobles of Naples realized a problem. I am afraid that the church power in the Naples region would soon be annexed by the Archbishop White. Since it could force another Archbishop White to give in, it is obvious that the status of this Archbishop White was even more noble in the Roman Catholic Church. Soon all the nobles made a quick choice in their hearts, that is, to completely obey Lisbon and advance and retreat with the Kingdom of Portugal.

After seeing Cardinal Plak leave, Tim's mood turns cloudy and sunny, and his face also swept away the previous haze and showed an extremely warm smile.

Sitting high on the throne with a smile, Tim signaled everyone to sit: "Today is a memorable day. After Naples joined the Kingdom of Portugal and became part of the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal, the territory of our Kingdom of Portugal has been nearly doubled. In this way, our survival on the European continent will become easier in the future, and the trade business and trade profits of our Kingdom of Portugal will also double again. At that time, the Portugal's kingdom monopolizes the trade flow in the western Mediterranean region, which is a matter of minutes. At that time, the trade center of the Mediterranean economic circle should also be transferred from Venice-Byzantium to our Lisbon-Naples."

"I think Naples should be rebuilt. After the stability of this place and after the project on the Iberian Peninsula is over, Scott and Carter will lead the road construction team of the Kingdom of Portugal to Naples to build new roads. I believe that Naples will soon prosper again."

Listening to Tim's words, the Naples' nobles were cheered up. It was obvious that His Majesty King Tim did not completely ignore the economic development of the Naples region. Hundreds of years ago, the trade in the Mediterranean was mainly concentrated in the Naples region. However, with the rise of the Republic of Venice, the trading centers of the Mediterranean were moved to Venice, and Naples fell like this.

From then on, Naples could only watch the Venetian Republic monopolize all trade and become rich. Although the people of the Naples region have been working hard for the re-rise of Naples, they have never had any results. Now that they have joined the Kingdom of Portugal, they believe that the strong financial resources of the Kingdom of Portugal will definitely stimulate the vitality of Naples again, so the nobles have placed their hopes on King Tim at this moment.

Although Tim did not intend to invest too much energy and financial resources in Naples, this superficial work still needs to be done. This road must be repaired and a certain amount of money must be invested here. After all, the nobles and people of the Naples are watching, and they cannot leave a talk for the Naples: this is also the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal, and we are now also the people of the Kingdom of Portugal. Why is the territory of the Iberian Peninsula well developed, while the territory of Naples is so backward.

What's more, only when the road is built can the resources and food in the Naples region be easily transported to the port and then quickly to the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, the Naples region is currently in the center of the Mediterranean, and its value and strategic position are still very important.

In short, Tim's philosophy is to give priority to the development of Portugal, but Naples cannot be left behind.

"Since you are from today, you have the right to enjoy all the policies of the Portuguese Kingdom. The business policies here are the same as those in the Portuguese Kingdom. Commercial taxation and commercial support are also unified and local treatment. In addition, the funds seized by the Aragon Kingdom will be supplemented by you." Looking at the nobles engaged in commercial trade Tim reiterated his previous promise to them: "You can also join the team of Portuguese merchants and trade together, so you need to communicate with yourself in specific business matters. What I can do for you is to do your best."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." These business nobles hurriedly thanked Tim.

"Well, you must do your business well, strive to create more wealth for the country and contribute more taxes to the treasury, do you understand?" Tim looked at them seriously and said, "In addition, the Archbishop White is the only Archbishop of the country's protection, so the tithes on the church will be unified in accordance with the regulations set by Archbishop White. Except for the church personnel sent by Archbishop White, the other clergy will not be recognized by the Kingdom of Portugal. Do you understand?"

After hearing Tim's words, these people became even more excited, because this means that they no longer need to pay taxes to the Pope in the future. It is naturally best to pay less taxes. I hurriedly thanked: "Don't worry, your Majesty, we will definitely obey the teachings of Archbishop White and the gospel of Archbishop White. In the future, we will only recognize the tithes levied by Archbishop White and the taxes levied by the royal family."

Tim nodded with satisfaction. The tax revenue in the Naples region was also terrible. Such a huge amount of wealth could naturally not flow into the Roman Catholic Church in vain. At least it had to be handed over to the Pope with the help of the Kingdom of Portugal, so that the Pope could remember the goodness of the Kingdom of Portugal and provide more religious support and religious protection for the Kingdom of Portugal.

After the business aristocrats were saved, Tim looked at the nobles who retained the right to collect taxes and the army: "I have promised you that you will retain your right to collect taxes and the right to own private army, so I will fulfill these conditions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The nobles finally let go of their hearts and quickly stood up to thank them.

"But..." Tim changed his tone: "You should also know that the Kingdom of Portugal has monthly financial subsidies for every noble in the Kingdom, but the condition is that the three agreements I issued in Lisbon must be abide by. Since you have not complied with these three provisions, you will not have financial subsidies for the Kingdom of Portugal every month, and the country will not subsidize the losses of funds you have taken away by the Kingdom of Aragon this time. Do you have any opinions on this?"
