95, head to London again
However, if the indulgences are produced and issued privately, this will directly confront the Pope. Once the Pope sent a crusade to the west, I was afraid that Norfolk would be completely finished, so I still have to carefully consider the issuance of indulgences.
After pondering for a long time, Scott finally decided to make an idea on the Archbishop of Beaufort.
After all, he is the highest religious leader of the Kingdom of England. If he had guaranteed behind his back and issued indulgences in his name, I believe that this would be legitimate.
Having made up his mind, Scott was about to write a letter to London, when the soldiers hurried in from outside the door: "Earl, a letter from London sent someone."
Scotty took the letter and saw that the signature was written by His Majesty King Henry VI.
After a little relaxed, Scott pulled out the letter paper from the envelope and saw it write on it:
Dear Count Norfolk, a week later, I will hold a wedding with Margaret of Anjou under the testimony of the Lord. From then on, a new queen will be born in the Kingdom of England. Therefore, I specially invite you to come to London to attend this feast, hoping that you will come on time.
"It's finally coming!" Scott sighed to the sky and couldn't even suppress his little joy, because it was the arrival of Margaret of Anjou that directly ignited the fuse of the Roses War.
However, looking at the invitation letter sent by His Majesty King Henry VI, Scott frowned again in a blink of an eye. To be honest, he didn't want to go to London. After all, Norfolk's development is at a critical moment, and it is the time to be inseparable from people.
Even though he was very unwilling to accept his heart, who could refuse his invitation from His Majesty? Although every count is a great lord in various places and he doesn't have to care about His Majesty's thoughts, after all, the king is the nominal leader of every count. Anyone who dares to disobey the king has the right to call on all counts to siege him together, so even if Scott is unwilling to do so, he must go to this trip to London.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Scott ordered the soldiers: "Call Andy, Leo and Garen to me quickly. I have something important to tell them."
The soldier agreed and ran down.
It was about the evening when the lights were being held, and the three of them came to the Earl's Mansion one after another.
"Earl, you are so anxious to call us here, but do you have anything to tell me?" Garen asked pantingly after wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Hearing the three of them sitting down in the study, Scott took out a letter from London and said, "In a week, His Majesty the King will hold a wedding with the Frenchman Margaret. Now the King has sent me an invitation letter in person, so I have to go to London again."
Galen couldn't sit still when he heard this: "Ah? His Majesty the King is fine? He is going to hold a wedding with the French. Don't he know that we are fighting with the Kingdom of France?"
"Yes, Count, this is too scary." Leo was also scared by the news and his calves trembled a few times.
Scott waved his hand and said, "No matter who His Majesty wants to marry, or who becomes the queen of the Kingdom of England, this has nothing to do with us, Norfolk, so we don't need to waste too much thought on this matter."
Andy asked worriedly: "Earl, aren't you afraid that this Frenchman will mess up the Kingdom of England after entering the Kingdom of England?"
After hearing this, Scott laughed in his heart. I just hope that Margaret of Anjou can mess up the Kingdom of England, and even the more chaotic it, the better. In this way, the War of the Roses can come early, and I can also get the throne of the Kingdom of England in the War of the Roses.
He thought so in his heart, but Scott certainly couldn't say it like this: "I don't know the future. Anyway, His Majesty the King is going to marry Margaret of Anjou. I dare not say anything about His Majesty the King's lifelong affairs! After all, I am just a little earl!"
Speaking of this, Scott turned to Galen and asked Galen, “Galen, how is the canal excavation project progressing?”
Garen quickly stood up and replied: "Since we have invested a lot of manpower to dig canals, at most two months, the canal project in Norfolk will be completely completed. At that time, the canal in Norfolk will be linked to every river in the Kingdom of England, and then our ships can reach any place in the Kingdom of England by water."
After a little pause, Garen said: "But Earl, you know the reality. You should know that the territories of each Earl are divided and divided. I am afraid that our ships will find it difficult for us to pass their checkpoints! Of course, it is difficult for some merchant ships in other regions to cross the territories of those Earls to enter the waters of Norfolk. Now, as far as I know, after the opening of the Norfolk canal, many merchant ships have wanted to enter the sea through the waters of our Norfolk, and many people even want to come to us to do business. However, due to the obstacles of some Earls, these merchant ships cannot come to Norfolk at all. Therefore, we have lost too much benefit because of the intervention of those Earls."
After hearing this, Scott frowned, and his hands could only stretch in the Norfolk area. As for the territory of other earls, he could not stretch them in no matter what. So facing this situation, Scott was very difficult for a moment.
Seeing that Scott did not speak, Garen said again: "Earl, aren't you going to London this time? If you have the chance, you and those earls will meet and find a way to convince them not to stop the merchant ship halfway."
Scott replied helplessly: "I want to do this too. I don't want to be cut off by others at my fingertips. But do you think things are so easy? With my words, those counts will sell my face? Don't be stupid, unless the Kingdom of England is unified, otherwise the division between the various places will still exist."
Galen said with concern: "This, what should we do? Those merchants really want to come to Norfolk!"
Scott was slapped in his head and was upset: "I'm so stupid. Really, I just knew that building a canal would drive the development of Norfolk, but I never thought that the division between places would also block the development of Norfolk's business. It seems that I'm a little busy to go to London this time."
