My British Empire

"The reason why I decided to wander is because my father is not young! I don't know when he will be called by the Lord and leave me. And I have always wanted to see the world outside of Southamptonshire! So I choose to come out now!" Grenville sighed, and then his eyes lit up again.

"I plan to spend the next three years wandering around England to learn a lot, and then go back to my hometown to inherit my father's fiefdom."

Edward did not expect that there was such a donkey friend in the Middle Ages, but the current appearance is a bit too shabby.

Grenville, who had taken a shower, changed into a piece of clothing, and he looked heroic and extremely masculine.

It's just that the cuffs that have exposed small holes have already betrayed his current embarrassment.

"Mr. Knight, what are you doing now..." Edward pointed out a little embarrassedly, and could only remind him gently.

"Uh, how should I put it?" Grenville seemed to know his current embarrassing situation, "There are always some guys in England who like to ask for nothing!"

"What about your entourage?" Edward then asked.

"Of course! There are still some guys in England who like to rob if they can't get it!" Grenville shrugged helplessly, showing a smile that you understand.

"Hehe! Sir, you have a great sense of humor!"

"Really? I don't think I'm a humorous person. On the contrary, I feel I'm a lonely person!" Grenville said self-deprecatingly, with a slight mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Edward didn't know how to proceed, but his coping level and speaking order were pretty good, unlike uneducated people.

Moreover, the palms of both hands had a thick layer of calluses, and the inner surface of the thumb was also calloused. The strangulation marks were very obvious, which was caused by long-term bowing. He should be a person from the knight class.

For a long time, people have had few opportunities for education, and there are only two universities in England, Oxford University and Cambridge University.

And William Thomas at the time described the university this way: "The children of humble birth are sent to learn to acquire the knowledge on which they live."

This person is the favorite of Henry VIII. It can be seen from his remarks that the status of university education in Britain at that time can be seen, so the Middle Ages can be imagined.

During the Middle Ages, the education tradition of the British aristocracy still inherited knight education, and the training content was mainly military skills, with a lack of book knowledge. The children of nobles also generally pay more attention to fighting and killing than reading, writing and writing. And a knight with a bit of culture like Grenville is usually the existence of horns and scales.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the British aristocracy and gentry class despised education, and they couldn't even write their names. And even in the period of Henry VIII in the Tudor dynasty, not many squires had gone to school; in the period of Elizabeth I, there were still aristocrats in the Privy Council who could not sign their names on official documents.

In the 16th century, British society began to transform, slowly transforming from a feudal economy to a capitalist economy. Some gentry adapted to the society at that time, were able to enter the House of Commons, and their political status was improved. The original knight education could not face this transformation.

At that time, not only was the demand for knowledge from overseas colonization, but also influenced by the Renaissance, cultural knowledge began to be secularized, and the nobles realized that the bigger ones with knowledge were higher... There were also various wordy reasons.

At this time, England's aristocratic education method was transformed, and more and more children of nobles and squires were sent to college.

In fact, it was the rise of university education in Britain that created the foundation for Britain to maintain its huge colonial rule and played an important role in making Britain a maritime power. (Britain said: Although I started late, I ran fast!)

"Your Excellency the Baron! I still don't know which great family you come from?" Grenville looked at Edward curiously and asked politely.

He must come from a big and prestigious family, and he spoke clearly at such a young age, with a trace of a superior in his tone. He must be a big man, Grenville couldn't help guessing in his heart.

"Oh! It's nothing, I just belong to Tudor with His Majesty the King, and my family is just a branch!" Edward lied without stammering, and there was no hint of trace in his tone. Tremolo and tension.

Even though it was expected that Edward's background was very strong, he could still feel the weight of his power and status in Edward's understatement.

"Oh! God! So Baron, you come from the great Tudor royal family, please forgive me for being rude!" Grenville's tone was already full of respect and trembling. Obviously, this news gave him a lot of stimulation.

"Oh my god! What did I see, a member of the royal family!" Edward's false identity made Grenville's breathing tense.

The status of the Edwardian branch is not important, but in England it is different. It is well known that the current King Edward VI is very weak and may die prematurely.

At this time, his branch status may have a great advantage in the competition for the throne. After all, in England, a conservative country, female succession to the throne is an unacceptable thing for those conservative nobles, which is the result of helplessness when they have no choice.

If he fights for his breath, it might be impossible for him to sit on that coveted throne. Forget it, it's none of my business, I'm just a passerby!

Grenville shook his long hair that was not completely dry, and smiled wryly in his heart, with a surprised expression on the surface.

The thought in Grenville's mind was only for a moment, and only he knew it, and Edward naturally couldn't know it.

However, Edward is also aware of his body. With the increase of daily activities, coupled with Edward's self-exercise, eating beef and venison every day, he gradually improved a lot. However, the long-standing impression in people's minds cannot be changed.

"Mr. Knight, take a rest first! I see that you are quite tired!" Edward saw that his face was a little pale, and then he waved to Lucy who was waiting by the side, "Lucy, clean up A guest room for Richard Knight!"

"Mr. Richard! My maid will clean up a guest room for you to rest in!" Edward turned his head and said to Grenville.

"Thank you for your arrangement, Your Excellency the Baron!" Grenville's tone was much more respectful than when he came, "I think your kindness will spread throughout England!"

Is he implying that he will give me free publicity? Haha, whatever, there is no such person anyway.

Thank you Xuan Shuyou, just kidding. His people are 1111, Yuli Yefimovich Shelov, Minhang Menghua, Tianwei Shendiao, Lili 599, a lot of votes to support everyone
