My British Empire

At present, the Hanseatic League is reluctant to part with England, a big market.

Going against England for an abandoned route is not, after all, a good idea.

What's more, the annual meeting of the Hanseatic League starts in January. If you want to deal with England, it will take a long time now!

Edward sneered a few times, not caring about the Hanseatic League at all.

The loose Hanseatic League, as long as it buys a few cities, it can wipe out that sanction proposal.

So Edward didn't care about the so-called Hanseatic League at all, let alone the sanctions.

Historically, even though Elizabeth I expelled the Hanseatic merchants from England, they did not dare to make any moves.

Laura, go to the Privy Council to send a message to hold an imperial meeting in the afternoon!

Edward thought about it. Although he currently looked down on the Hanseatic League, if it harassed, it would still be quite troublesome for England.

The blame caused by the king should be borne by the government!

The government is here to take the blame for the king, otherwise, the government can be disbanded.

So the next imperial meeting will specifically study how to deal with the counterattack of the Hanseatic League.

Although what he said was very easy, but at present, the Hanseatic League is indeed quite threatening.

Edward felt a little guilty in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he recovered. As a king, he had to adapt, and the government had to adapt, and he got used to taking the blame.

In the afternoon, the entire central government was busy preparing several plans as countermeasures.

The meeting went quickly, Edward said something directly, and then Laura made a specific statement, and he left the meeting room.

Of course, he is also busy.

In the afternoon, he needs to meet with the president of the Royal Bank, Adler Todd.

As the central bank of the royal family, the Royal Bank of England spread throughout the British Isles under the leadership of Adler Todd.

Your Majesty, in the past five years, the Bank of England has established branches in all counties of the country. The counties of Scotland, Wales, and the island of Ireland all have our branches. The total number has reached 86, with 1,340 employees. , the annual profit has reached 300,000 pounds!

Adler Todd had two beards on his lips, dark green eyes, and a very serious expression on his face. He lowered his head slightly and bent over, showing a respectful expression.

Moreover, we have opened branches in France, Spain, Portugal, Naples, Egypt and other places, with a total deposit of 12 million pounds and 300,000 customers!

If England can maintain its current development momentum, the total number of customers will reach one million within three years!

When he said one million, Todd's face was full of pride. Such a huge number of customers almost made the Bank of England the number one position, the number one in Europa.

In just a few years, I don't know how many centuries the bank has gone through, and how many people's jaws have been shocked.

Of course, the biggest credit for everything now lies in the support of the royal family.

Not to mention anything else, the wages of the entire Guards and militia, as well as the wages of officials in England, are all paid by the Bank of England.

The rough sum of these people is no less than 100,000. Coupled with sufficient financial support, the development of the entire Bank of England is called smooth sailing!

300,000 customers, covering most of Europe.

This number is only due to insufficient training of bank personnel and insufficient staff to work. As a result, no one works even if a branch is opened.

In addition, in this era, there are still too few people who believe in banks. They are worried that after putting money in the bank, it will never return. Even if it is opened by the royal family, it will not have a strong reputation.

Of course, Edward knew that the amount of 1 million was just a big picture. The entire population of Europe is only about 20 million, and one in 20 people uses the Bank of England. It is impossible to think about it.

However, as an imagination, it is still good.

I know, Todd, you did a good job! For such a hero, it's okay to praise him.

But— Edward's eyes were fixed, and he looked at Adler Todd, who was cautious and cautious, with a half-smile, this somewhat stubborn Jew, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

I heard that a lot of Jews have come to the Bank of England recently. Are they your relatives?

Hearing His Majesty's question, Adler's body trembled slightly, then raised his head cautiously, looked into His Majesty's eyes, and said softly:

This, these are indeed my relatives. After getting your Majesty's attention, those relatives from the Netherlands came to me and took refuge in me.

One is because the Bank of England is short of people, and the other is that they are hired because they are more familiar with the banking industry!

Speaking of this, his head drooped more and more, and his waist was also in a ninety-degree shape. Although he couldn't see his face, Edward could predict that it must be white and blue.

For the sake of my service to you for many years! Please forgive my self-assertion!

For this matter, Edward naturally didn't take it to heart. It was only human nature to take care of his relatives and friends. It was a trivial matter, and it was indeed beneficial to the development of the Bank of England.

Of course, it's a trivial matter for your relatives and friends to work in the bank, but I don't feel very relieved about their beliefs!

Edward's attitude was still relaxed, and his tone was as calm as ever, but what he said made Adler's heart tremble.

When Jews live in Europe, the biggest conflict lies in their religious beliefs, which are not tolerated by Catholicism and all Protestants.

Based on faith, the Jews survived; based on faith, the Jews were excluded from Europe in this way.

No matter which country a Jew is in, what he or she recognizes from the bottom of his heart is his Jewish identity.

Therefore, they can launch a financial crisis without any regard for national interests, exploit the property of civilians, and cause chaos in the country.

In later generations, even though there are a large number of Jews living in the United States, they still believe in their Jewish identity in their hearts, and use their huge wealth to influence the United States and help Israel.

For them, America is their place of residence, but Israel is their true home.

Therefore, one or two Jews, Edward can still tolerate, but a large number of Jews entering England, especially financial institutions, broke through his bottom line.

At some point in the future war, if a choice is made between the interests of the Jews and the interests of England, those Jews will definitely choose to abandon England without hesitation.

For this kind of nation, they cannot be allowed to control the lifeline of a country.
