My British Empire

The completion of Ireland's feudal system was very short. In less than half a year, all Irish nobles completed feudalization and divided their territories and people.

After that, among the remaining four-fifths of the land, except some mountainous rivers and barren land, the rest is either plains or arable land, which is very suitable for planting and grazing.

The Governor's Office of Ireland also implemented the edict from London, dividing Ireland into four major provinces and thirty-two counties, basically following the ancient Irish system.

Among them, resettlement measures were carried out centering on 64 strongholds.

Soon, the number of 100,000 immigrants increased to 150,000 by the end of 1561.

The combined army composed of Irish nobles has also reached 10,000 people, and with the immigrant army composed of 5,000 people, the army on the island has reached 15,000 people.

There are two million acres of arable land and more than 13,000 pastures, one-third of which are owned by the royal family.

The nobles and some wealthy people were not to be outdone, and paid a lot of money to buy a lot of land from immigrants, forming manors and ranches, and the number reached one-third.

The remaining one-third is owned by the immigrants.

But they willingly sold the land to those merchants and nobles.

Because, the money from the sale can not only repay debts, but also improve life.

More importantly, there is still a lot of land in Ireland that has not been developed. After a few years, if it is sold, it will bring another income.

However, this kind of land bonus can't be enjoyed for a long time. Among them, the huge benefits have made the Governor's Mansion, the coalition government, and the royal family look down on it.

This kind of costless land development is simply too profitable for ordinary people to afford.

In Dublin, on the port pier, beside the long trestle, countless Irish aristocrats and businessmen came here in their clothes and leather shoes to give a farewell farewell.

Flowers and flags will constitute a new look for the entire pier, and people shout and rejoice to send off these heroes.

"Your Excellency, your departure is truly our Irish regret!"

The speaker of the Irish Parliament had a long beard and a face full of pity, looking at the governor Thomas Mane who was about to board the ship, with affectionate expressions.

Behind His Excellency the Governor, there are more than 60 other strongholds staying behind. They will return to London together with the Governor, be received by His Majesty the King, and be briefed on their posts. What awaits them is promotion and salary increase.

Therefore, except for some old people who were a little sad, such as Sir John Perrot, the faces of the others were inexplicably excited, chatting happily with each other, and looking forward to their future.

"This is what I should do!" As a gentleman's traditional virtue, Governor Thomas has always maintained a modest attitude, shook his head, and said softly.

"After all, His Majesty the King and the Kingdom government entrusted me with important tasks. As a member of the Kingdom, I should serve them as I should. There is nothing to say!"

Your Excellency the governor's calm appearance made everyone admire him even more, and there were endless praises.

Hearing this, Your Excellency the Governor showed a faint smile, pretending to be aggressive, no, the aristocratic temperament is undoubtedly revealed, it is not a nobleman, it is better than a nobleman.

Everyone knows that after the conquest of Ireland, the governor, who has been in charge of Ireland for nearly nine years, will definitely be canonized as a nobleman, leave Ireland, a barbaric place, and establish a good relationship in advance.

After everyone praised you, the Speaker of the Irish Parliament continued to ask:

"Your Excellency, all of us have witnessed your achievements. Therefore, we plan to jointly sign a letter and state your great achievements to the cabinet and His Majesty Edward!"

"Also, in order to thank you for your kindness, we have collected some souvenirs for you and put them on the boat!"

People are going to be sky-high and let the birds fly, and get promoted and get rich. Now it's okay to be a favor in advance.

In this regard, the upright governor quickly refused to back down, but the congressmen and officials insisted on writing a letter. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the whole pier became more cheerful.

After accepting helplessly, feeling that the time was almost up, Your Excellency the Speaker asked carefully and softly, as if he was not paying attention.

"What do you think of the next governor?"

After these words fell, everyone fell silent for a moment, staring straight at the governor, waiting for his speech.

The next Governor-General has always been a source of uneasiness in everyone's hearts.

The basic interests of all those present are in Ireland. In this era when the power of the governor is scary, the choice of the governor is related to everyone's vital interests.

A normal governor is what everyone looks forward to.

"This—" Hearing this question, Thomas pondered for a while, and frowned.

No one dared to disturb the Governor-General who had not left office, and waited anxiously and cautiously for his recovery.

"I can't say it! I can't say it!" He shook his head and said with a wry smile. Although as the former governor, he has the right to recommend the next governor to the king, even if he reveals his goal, although he can get the respect of these Irish people, But it will definitely have an impact on his future prospects.

However, people are giving money and submitting letters, so I can't refuse them, it's really a tricky way!

After wandering in my mind for a few seconds, Your Excellency the Governor finally smiled:

"Haha! The governor has great responsibilities, and the candidate must be carefully selected. How do I know? This is a matter of concern for the cabinet and His Majesty the king!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was frustrated.

"However, in Ireland's Chuping, the governor is related to the safety and stability of the island. I think the cabinet will definitely give priority to meeting those officials who have known it before!"

As he spoke, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he glanced at the many left-behinds behind the bustling crowd.

Seeing this, everyone understood, and quickly changed the topic of relaxation. For a while, the air was filled with joyful factors.

Soon, the three figures in charge of the colonization of a province, including Sir John Perrot and Lemire Walson, as well as some famous left-behinds, all received gifts.

For example, when Sir John was having a good time chatting with his colleagues, he suddenly received many congratulatory greeting cards from the butler, as well as some Irish 'souvenirs', which made him look confused and couldn't figure out why he was suddenly popular .

Flipping through it casually, the greeting card also contains a lot of information about the lady, of course, the focus is on one of the columns: unmarried

In this way, Sir John, who was already married, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and could only order his housekeeper to put it away quickly, so that his wife would not see it.

When it was just about to leave, it was a merchant ship; when it left, two small cargo ships followed behind the merchant ship, with a deep draft.
