After hearing Simon's answer, Scott was stunned: "So, is Alfreid's worth similar to that of Bard, the leader of the London Chamber of Commerce?"

Simon nodded and replied, "You can say that, of course, even if there are few, there will be nowhere to go!"

"Very good!" Scott clenched his fist: "He will join Norfolk soon, and all herrings will be provided to him by then, so there is no need to be sold to the public."

Simon nodded excitedly: "Yes, Earl! Then I will increase the number of fishing in the past few days."

Scott praised Simon's attentiveness: "You did a great job. If possible, find a way to bring more fishermen from the Netherlands."

"Oh, by the way, if you have time, come to Norwich as soon as possible and I will award the Knight title. As for whether you can be promoted in the future, it depends on your performance!"

The reason why Scott now takes the initiative to give Simon a noble title is because Simon has done a good job recently.

First of all, his fishing work has provided a lot of finance for Norfolk. For example, in recent times, Norfolk's finance has finally made a profit.

Secondly, Simon kept trying his best to win over fishermen from the Netherlands. At least as Scott knows, the number of Norfolk fishermen has soared from more than 400 to more than 5,000.

Finally, Simon controlled these fishermen very reasonably. At least after these foreign fishermen joined Lofolk, not only did not have any fishermen riots in Norfolk, but these fishermen still supported Norfolk and Scott very much. It is obvious that Simon must have put a lot of strength in it.

For those who are loyal to themselves and work hard in this way, Scott naturally wants to win the special prize. This is to win people's hearts, and to set a good example and inspire everyone to learn from this example, so as to completely mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.

After hearing Scott's words, Simon said anxiously: "I...I have time now."

Simon was so excited that he didn't know what to say. At this moment, his dream of aristocratic was finally realized. Although he was just a knight, this was a big step from a civilian to aristocratic.

"Are you sure you have time?" Scott frowned. It was too irritating.

"If I remember correctly, the London Chamber of Commerce seems to be coming to Great Yarmouth Harbor tomorrow. If you go to Norwich, who will take care of this place?"

Scott's words were as thunderous as Simon was frightened, but in the end the noble dream in his heart defeated the fear. He lowered his head and said pleaded: "Earl, Norwich's journey is not far. Even if I go to the night tonight, I will come back and will never delay the matter here."

"Okay OK, then let's go back to Norwich now." Unable to resist Simon's repeated begging, Scott had to choose to surrender: "But remember, if you can't do things on time tomorrow, then I can take back your noble title at any time."

Simon nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice to indicate that he already understood.

At dusk, the group returned to the Earl's Mansion, and then Scott sent an order to gather in the square next to the Earl's Mansion. At the same time, the others from the Earl's Mansion also quickly began to make arrangements in the square.

Looking at such a massive ceremony of awarding titles to a nobleman, Leo couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Earl, why do you make this news so great? Just do it casually in the Earl's Mansion! Besides, his background is not very noble, so why do you need to give him such a great show and face?"

Speaking of this, Leo emphasized angrily: "When I was promoted to Baron, I didn't have such a big show?"

After patting Leo on the shoulder, Scott said earnestly: "You are right. Logically speaking, Simon is definitely not worthy of this show as an ordinary person. It's just that the reason I do this is because I have my considerations in it."

"I don't know what the count's consideration is?" Leo asked curiously with his head tilted.

"You will know later!" Without answering Leo's question directly, Scott turned around and returned to the room. At this moment, he also needed to change into the count's clothes, so that the ceremony would be more solemn.

As the last ray of sunlight set, the torches in Norwich Central Square lit up. At this moment, a large number of people gathered around the square, all of whom were talking loudly and making noise.

"Do you know what happened to the Earl summon us tonight?"

"I know the inside story. According to my nephew who was a servant in the Earl's Mansion, the Earl will grant a noble title to a civilian tonight! You may not know that this civilian is not someone who grew up in Norfolk, but he is a person from the Netherlands!"

"Is that so? Then he is so lucky that he has changed from a civilian to a nobleman. I wonder when I will have such a chance?"

"Yes, I don't know what the count is interested in him!"

Amid the noise of the people, Scott slowly came to the square surrounded by the escort of the Earl's Mansion.

Looking at Scott and others' dresses, a group of people watching the fun had a discussion.

"Did you find out? The Earl was wearing it very formally today!"

"Yes, it seems that he values ​​this ceremony very much!"

"It seems that no matter what kind of title this civilian can get, at least this ceremony tonight has destined that his life will not be ordinary!"

With the help of the guards, Scott slowly walked up to the platform, and then the noise in the audience immediately became quiet.

Slowly glanced at everyone, Scott said softly: "My dear people, I think you are curious today why I dress like this? I think some of you may know the situation. Yes, tonight, I will hold a ceremony to award a noble title for a citizen! Now let us invite Simon with warm cheers."

The Count makes you cheer, dare you not cheer?

Soon, deafening cheers rang out from the square. Amid the cheers, Simon slowly walked up to the square in costumes that symbolize the knighthood.

After walking up the square, Simon knelt down on one knee in front of Scott, then swore an oath to express allegiance to Scott.

After Simon finished his oath, Scott stepped forward and helped him up with his own hands, and then said in a loud voice: "Get up, my loyal knight, now I allow you to share with you how you have experienced from a civilian to a nobleman! This will also facilitate others to learn from!"
