My British Empire

"I heard that adults like to drink tea, so I specially asked someone to purchase a lot of good tea from the royal family. After all, these things are in short supply!"

Earl Lanknos looked forward with his watery eyes, and looked at the ruler who slowly closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment at the corner of his mouth, and a gleam of joy emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, yes, this is indeed a good tea from the remote mountains and foggy mountains. If I expect it to be correct, it comes from Chalkan Mountain in Newtonshire!"

Gently opening his eyes, the smile on His Excellency William Selsey's mouth became more obvious, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be turning into a chrysanthemum.

"Your Excellency, you are so respectful, but I can't bear it!"

The tea leaves from Mount Chagan are the top part of the entire royal tea garden, and the annual output is only about tens of pounds, which is extremely precious.

More importantly, if you want to buy it, you must be a baron or above to be eligible, which is not inferior to the tea directly supplied to the court.

This is also the highest grade tea that nobles can drink. The price per pound has reached hundreds of pounds, and there is often no market for it.

Therefore, even William Selsey would not be able to drink a few times. He is not a hereditary nobleman.

"Nowhere, this thing is just a dead thing. As far as the status of the ruling lord is concerned, if you want it, you can have it at any time. I am just a clown playing with a few new things today!"

Although the Earl of Lanknos looked stubborn, he spoke very well, and the ruling lord couldn't help giving him a high look.

But obviously, there is something in the earl's words.

While drinking tea, William Selsey's brain was constantly spinning.

"After all, Your Excellency, you represent the face of His Majesty the King. In the whole of Scotland, who can not give you some face, what is the status of a nobleman?"

Although the earl on the opposite side was smiling, William still felt a chill.

This tea is not good.

"Ding——" Gently put down the teacup, the ruling lord quickly suppressed his smile, and said seriously:

"It seems that your cup of tea is not good, my lord earl!"

"No, it's the tea that you gave us first, it's not good! My cup of tea is very fragrant!"

The corner of his mouth raised, and with a sneer, Earl Lankonos sat up straight and said in a deep voice.

"I'm also asking you the truth today, why did you come to Scotland?"

His pale green eyes were fixed on the formidable ruler in front of him, and the Earl was a little annoyed and unhappy.

The former prime minister, who was famous throughout the United Kingdom, suddenly came to Scotland. In less than half a year, he broke the tranquil atmosphere of the whole of Scotland. The nobles were all in danger, and they were sued to the Supreme Court for unknown reasons.

And this Supreme Court also comes from the central airborne.

Facing the sudden questioning, the ruling lord immediately showed a faint smile and said softly:

"I want poor Scotland to become rich England!"

"Pfft—" Hearing this, the Earl was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"My lord in power, you—" Speaking of this, the count seemed to have thought of something, his eyes fixed, and he said sharply:

"Your idea will not work!"

Then quickly choose to leave.

The ruling lord didn't care about this, he stood up, watched him leave, looked at his back, and added loudly:

"What about the nobles?"

"It's up to you, my lord!" Turning around and glancing at William Selsey, the count snorted coldly.

"It seems that this group of nobles is really difficult to deal with!" The ruling lord said with a sigh.

"We can only wait for the opportunity!"

"However, with the level of those nobles, it should be very easy!"

In the end, William Selsey showed a smug smile.

Sure enough, with the departure of the Earl of Lannox, suddenly, most of the nobles in Scotland did not seem to be in a state of laziness in the past.

In this regard, the ruling lord seemed to be indifferent, repeating the old things every day, handling government affairs, summoning the nobles who asked for an audience, and the key fines.

This kind of life lasted for about a month. The constrained nobles were conscientiously waiting for the review and criticism. Who would have thought that the ruling lord seemed to have forgotten them and did not take any action.

The Scottish nobles, who advocate freedom and unrestraint, slowly felt the slackening of the ruling adults, so they also slowly slacked off.

At this point, everyone attributed it to the intimidation of Earl Lannox and everyone, or because they had scruples about governing, so they relaxed.

…………

The border area not far from England, Dumfries, is a traditional lowland area and a place where Anglo-Saxons and Celtics mixed.

Most of the lowlanders are farming, and they speak more English than Scottish, and the majority are of mixed race.

So when it comes to conscription, this is the place where Scotland has the most soldiers, and it is also the place where Scotland is most acceptable to the rule of the Tudor royal family.

Of course, due to the fertile land, there are often the most nobles here.

This is the case for Field. He was once poor and had no choice but to join the army, so he entered the army of the United Kingdom and went to Brittany, France.

Fortunately, God blessed, killed a few people, and acquired dozens of acres of land in Brittany.

But he was nostalgic for his hometown, but he chose to replace it, from Brittany to Dumfries, his hometown, and finally condensed it into 15 acres.

Even so, Field is already very satisfied. In the lowland area, 15 acres is enough for the family to have enough food and clothing, and there is even some spare energy to support his son to study.

Yes, he was going to send his son to study in England dozens of miles away, and then take an examination of the officials, and then go to London to become a decent official and sit on an equal footing with the nobles.

Thinking of such a beautiful thing, Field sat on the bench in his home, glanced at his son playing with mud, and immediately smiled.

"In the future, I can also borrow my son's light and be called a master by others! This life is worth it!"

But at this time, a discordant voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Field, Field, something is wrong—"

With a sudden face, Field's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look.

I saw my neighbor, Pete, my best friend since I was a child, was running with a hoe on his back, shouting and running, sweating profusely from exhaustion, and seemed anxious.

"Something has happened to your family!"
