My British Empire

Using his personal connections, Geleshan invited two hundred senior weavers and their families to England. At a cost of more than a thousand pounds, he finally completed the task assigned by His Majesty the King within a month.

As the situation in the Netherlands became more and more turbulent, he did not need to spend money at all, and many senior weavers begged him to take it away.

In fact, when he first accepted this task, Geleshan understood the king's intention - to steal a teacher.

Although the United Kingdom has a vast market due to its alliance with Spain, the textile industry has also begun to take off.

But just like China later, it only occupies low and mid-end technology, and is at the bottom of the textile industry to make money. The profits it obtains cannot be compared with the Netherlands.

For example, in the production of high-grade woolen cloth, only the Dutch have this technology and sharp weapon. Every year, the partner royal family imports a large amount of high-grade woolen cloth from the Netherlands to meet their own needs.

Moreover, the same is true for silk. Not only does England have no oriental silk technology, it even has no European imitation silk technology.

And when he came to the Netherlands, he shouldered the requirement of innovating technology for the country. When he thought of this, Geleshan felt that he had made an important contribution to the entire kingdom.

In this way, while lamenting his contribution, Geleshan recruited hundreds of senior weavers for his factory.

With these people, I am afraid that the profit of my factory will double in the coming year! After renting a merchant ship for three days, Geleshan returned to England with the weavers and their families.

I knew the situation in the Netherlands was in turmoil, so I should have brought more thank you boats! Alas! Geleshan sighed as he looked at the crowded boats.

Not long after he left with the senior weavers, the Governor's Office of the Netherlands got the news.

Your Excellency, an Englishman brought many people from the Netherlands to leave the country! The young staff member bent down and reported respectfully.

Understood, don't worry about how many heretics leave, workers, Nederlando is! The Duchess of Parma pondered for a moment, and ordered decisively.

As the staff went down, she murmured softly: It's fine, let those heretics leave. I hope that after those activists leave, the Netherlands will return to stability! It would be nice to continue to be a cow!

Until now, the female governor still can't figure it out, these Dutch people don't believe in Catholicism, so they have to become a heretic and return to the embrace of our Lord, isn't it good?

In the original history, since the turmoil in the Netherlands, about 30,000 Dutch people came to England to escape the Dutch revolution.

Their arrival made Elizabeth I very happy and was very welcome.

After the arrival of this group of textile workers, England's textile technology was greatly improved, making England's exports from low-end to high-end all at once.

Thus, a solid foundation was laid for the rise of the entire empire on which the sun never sets.

However, Queen Elizabeth has tasted the price for this.

Although the arrival of these Dutchmen made England's technology advance by leaps and bounds, it also allowed the original narrow Calvinism to expand wildly, forming a wave of anti-establishment religion all at once.

Before her death, those Puritans were still clamoring to reform the state religion and abolish the bishop system.

Damn, the bishop system is a sharp weapon for the king to control his mind, if it is abolished, the kingship will be shaken.

In terms of technology and religion, Edward has been entangled in his mind.

England is not the United States. It cannot absorb immigrants regardless of the consequences. Inherent traditions and conservatism are the foundation of social stability. The arrival of immigrants will make the whole society a mess.

What's more, His Majesty Edward is not willing to delegate power.

After thinking about it, His Majesty Edward finally decided to selectively admit some elite technical talents, and after obtaining their skills, if they still don't convert, they will be exiled to Ireland directly.

Up to now, the young His Majesty the King finally no longer ideally turned Ireland into a land like England.

Moreover, the existence of a large number of Celtics cannot be completely accommodated.

Ireland is not treated as a colony like previous kings.

His young majesty is ready to make the island of Ireland the outfall of the United Kingdom.

Let Puritans, Catholics, and all kinds of messy believers go to Ireland to feel the warmth of the Celtics!

It would be easier to control if, by the way, they could be influenced to break them apart from the Catholic whirlpool.

Soon, with the arrival of the merchant ship, His Majesty the Great King personally received these high-level weavers, greeted them cordially, and praised them for abandoning their homes and coming to the United Kingdom for their dedicated spirit.

The senior weavers and their families, after being received by His Majesty the King, cried bitterly and patted their chests to promise that they will definitely train more workers for the United Kingdom and make more contributions to the entire United Kingdom. Thanks King, thank you government.

Accompanied by the Kingdom's Prime Minister William Selsey, and other cabinet members.

Closer to home, after this pleasant interview, His Majesty Edward directly arranged these people into several large textile factories under the royal family, where they were supervised to teach technology and not to spread religious messages.

Afterwards, His Majesty the King met with Prime Minister William Selsey and asked him to draft a new immigration bill.

The requirement is that anyone who does not believe in Anglicanism is not allowed to preach in the United Kingdom, and those who violate it will be exiled to Ireland and become immigrants.

And drafted again, unless they are state personnel, they are not allowed to instigate and agitate others, and carry out dissemination of non-state religions, and all offenders will be sent to Ireland.

Such severe treatment of re-missionary personnel and missionary activities shocked the entire cabinet, but the cabinet soon cooperated.

The draft is submitted to the king by the cabinet. After receiving a positive reply, it is forwarded to the joint parliament. After approval, it is passed to the supreme joint court for promulgation, and then the regional councils vote for approval. Finally, the regional supreme court promulgates.

After these processes were completed, a month passed, and the strict law was implemented across the United Kingdom.

In name, the parliament still exercises the legislative power, and the power still belongs to the people in name (this, everyone is familiar with it, I didn’t say it).

With the teaching of Dutch textile workers, the textile level of the entire England continued to improve, and the shipment volume also recorded an increase.

On the contrary, the Netherlands region still maintains a slight turmoil, with undercurrents surging, and its position in the entire textile industry slowly begins to decline.

As a result, Edward believed that within five years, England would overtake the Netherlands and become the number one textile region.
