80, King Henry VI was very corrupt
Therefore, Scott hopes that the Norfolk region will take this opportunity to generate a large number of merchants, and then use their personal power to achieve the rise of the Norfolk business empire.
After all, the rise of the Dutch Republic, the maritime coachman in his previous life, relied on the power of merchants to dominate, and now Scott himself is replicating the model of this small country's great cause.
However, this model of small countries and great undertakings is only applicable to Norfolk. If it is the entire Kingdom of England, it must follow the model of the Empire of the Sun and the Sun, and use its powerful maritime army to cut off the ties between other countries and the sea, and then dominate overseas.
This is not to say that the model of a small country's great cause is not good, but the pattern of a small country's great cause is too monotonous. It only relies on commercial means to dominate and has not paid attention to the development of the army and industry at all, so this destined that a small country's great cause can only be a flash in the pan.
For Scott, what he wants to pursue is eternal power, not a flash in the pan.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, the small country and great business are more suitable for the local development of Norfolk. After all, the main problem facing Scott is to realize Norfolk's strength as soon as possible, and then lay a firm foundation for competing for the throne of England in the War of the Roses. As for the issue of ruling the entire Kingdom of England in the future, there is no need to rush to consider it.
After clearly writing down his plan in the memo, Scott slowly closed the book. It was 1445, and it was still early before the outbreak of the Roses.
In addition, the war between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France on the battlefield on the European continent has not ended, so Scott understood that the curtain of the stage has not yet been opened, and his own era has not yet arrived yet, so the right way to stabilize the mind and develop well is to do it.
While Scott was thinking about history, Andy hurried in: "Earl, there are two news coming from the European continent, one bad news and one good news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Scott smiled slightly: "Listen to the good news."
Andy frowned slightly: "Uh, shouldn't you say you're listening to bad news first? I remember you've always done this before!"
"God, are you an earl or I an earl? Why do I feel that you are more concerned than me?" Looking at Andy, Scott felt unhappy.
"No, no, no, I'm just curious!" Andy was so scared that he broke out in his forehead: "The good news is that the old Norfolk nobles you sent to the French battlefield have now died, and now we have no threat!"
Scott waved his hand undeniably: "Isn't it normal to die and die? On the contrary, if they can survive in troubled times, that is the most abnormal thing! By the way, is the bad news you want to tell the victory of the Kingdom of France?"
Andy nodded and replied: "The Count is wise. Indeed, after the Kingdom of England has experienced a brief victory on the battlefield, it has failed again! Now the news has reached London. I think His Majesty the King will be extremely troubled at this moment!"
After hearing this, Scott sneered: "What are he worried about? He knows how to eat, drink, play and have fun every day. What else would he do?"
Andy nodded in agreement: "His Majesty the King is too incompetent. Recently, I heard that he has fallen in love with a young noble again, and now he is entangled with that noble every night!"
"Are you a noble man?" Scott realized it later.
"Yes, you may not have thought that this male nobleman is no one else, but the illegitimate son of Count Suffolk!" Andy's tone suddenly became angry as he spoke: "He was originally an illegitimate son, but he hooked up with the king during a tour of His Majesty the King, and then he was named a nobleman by His Majesty the King!"
Scott frowned: "Every time His Majesty the King goes, there are many people protecting him. How could he easily get close to His Majesty the King? Unless all this was arranged by Count Suffolk."
Andy replied like a chicken pecking at the rice: "Yes, yes, many people say this, saying that all this was arranged by Count Suffolk! However, I don't know what his purpose is!"
"Of course, it was to use male sex to seduce His Majesty the King and then achieve control over His Majesty the King! This is really difficult for Earl Suffolk? He actually came up with such a bad idea!"
Although he felt that Count Sach's idea was dirty, Scott was not surprised at Count Suffolk's purpose. After all, Bishop Beaufort is old. Once Bishop Beaufort dies, the power of the country will naturally fall into the hands of His Majesty the King. As His Majesty's favorite minister, Count Suffolk naturally tried every means to please the king, and then lay the foundation for future glory and wealth.
Thinking of this, Scott had to sigh that the British Isles is really a corrupt country. According to incomplete statistics, most kings of England like male sex, and many nobles also knew His Majesty's preference, so they rushed to make themselves more handsome, or send handsome little faces to His Majesty the King.
In short, this trick has been proven many times. After all, history has proved that there are many arrogances in the nobles of the Kingdom of England. These arrogances do not need to worry about state affairs. The only thing they have to do is to serve the king with all their heart and strength.
Seeing that Scott was indifferent, Andy whispered: "Earl, now Count Suffolk is already making plans for his future. Don't you plan for your future? Since His Majesty the King likes handsome and cute men so much, we might as well give some to His Majesty the King. When His Majesty the King takes power, we Norfolk can also get a lot of benefits!"
"You are so thoughtful!" After being amused by Andy's words, Scott couldn't help but look up at him: "I see you are fair and clean, so why don't you give you to His Majesty the King! I believe you will use your wisdom to bring great power to Norfolk."
Andy was so scared that she almost sat on the ground: "Earl, don't do this, I don't like men!"
Scott laughed: "It's okay, you will like it slowly! Sacrifice it for Norfolk."
"No, no, no, I shouldn't have raised such a topic! I'll step down first if I have something to do." After that, Andy ran away.
After Andy left, Scott held his head and continued to think about the direction of history.
Since the Kingdom of England has been defeated and the losses are very heavy, this means that the Kingdom of England is planning to make peace with the Kingdom of France.
