"More than two million pounds a year, this is just the current income. The operating area is limited to the Saxon Kingdom and has not been expanded anywhere else."

Although he had sufficient mental preparation and had also read the detailed profit statement issued by Elpso Trading Company, the king and the Chancellor of the Finance Department were still startled by the number "two million", and their eyes were filled with shock and greed.

Elizabeth sighed a long sigh: "There is too much money, and as the business area expands, the monthly profits are still increasing. Forget-worry fans are good things that can make people forget their sorrows and enjoy happiness, but it does not belong to me, at least not me alone."

The Chancellor of the Finance Department restrained the glitter in his eyes, asked lightly with a little sarcasm, "You seem to be in some trouble?"

"It's my brothers and sisters, and other family members." Elizabeth did not hide it. Her expression was painful and helpless: "They have always wanted to take back the title from me, and they kept asking the district court to appeal. Although there was a clear judgment, they still did not give up. In the past six months, I have suffered no less than ten assassins. I have poisoned, bribed my servants, hired killers... and even worse, they started from the emotional side and let a liar approach me, so..."

"Wait a minute!" The king interrupted Elizabeth. He was quite curious and gossiped: "Let me guess he should be very handsome?"

Elizabeth smiled bitterly on her face and nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."

The king's interest became even stronger: "You fall in love with him at first sight?"

Elizabeth's expression became colder, but she maintained an essential etiquette. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and admitted: "...just be true!"

"You should have had close contact?" As he said these words, the king's eyes kept circling on Elizabeth without missing any curves: "I mean the kind that is beyond friendship."

"No!" This time, Elizabeth replied firmly: "I am not a casual woman. I am a nobleman, and my behavior must be worthy of the name "Elpso."

Her tone was so serious that there was an unquestionable sense of resistance between the lines. The king and the Chancellor of the Finance Department looked at each other again, and they saw each other's understanding from their eyes.

Laurent cleared his throat and his attitude became slightly gentler than before: "Earl Alpso, you have to understand that today is your first time to meet Your Majesty. Not everyone has such qualifications. Your Majesty must understand and then confirm your thoughts."

As he said that, the Chancellor raised the share transfer document he held in his hand: "The amount involved in this document is too large and has exceeded the normal scope of commercial transfer."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean." Elizabeth grabbed the time when the other party spoke and asked blankly.

"Everyone likes money, no one is exceptional." The Chancellor of the Finance Department looked serious: "I have investigated your origin, including your family. There is no problem with bloodline and inheritance. The magistrate of Dosette is willing to guarantee this. Family members always do some extreme behaviors in order to fight for inheritance. I can understand a series of practices of escaping from the manor to escape from the manor. But I still want to say that this document involves too much profit. If it were me, I would never give up Kingsoft, which had been put in my pocket."

"I can't hold on to this money. To be precise, it doesn't belong to me alone." Elizabeth answered quickly, and she answered without thinking: "I know my abilities and strength very well. I have no fiefdom and a deep family background. Too much money will only bring disaster to me. Instead of keeping it in my hands to attract crocodiles and jackals with two feet, it is better to present it to capable people as gifts."

These words were very bold and extremely explicit. Both the king and the minister of finance couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.

"This is my gift to His Majesty." She regained her previous confidence and smiled again on her face: "My request is very simple, I want to get a higher title."

The king smiled, his eyes full of inquiring eyes: "You mean, Marquis?"

Elizabeth didn't say anything, she bent down and saluted again.

"What if I refuse?" The king's question was meaningful.

Elizabeth raised her head, and there was no trace of gloom in her pure eyes: "I will not take this document away. No matter what I do, it depends on your Majesty's ruling."

She made a clear gesture, and the king and the Chancellor of Finance didn't know how to speak for a while, and suddenly became a little cold.

After a moment of silence, the Chancellor of the Finance Department broke the stalemate: "Earl Alpso, Your Majesty is a little tired, you go down first!"

Elizabeth was not entangled. She first saluted according to the complete court etiquette, and then slowly retreated from the audience hall from the front of the throne.

The king's nose was shaking gently, and he smelled a faint scent of jasmine flowers remaining in the air. Maybe it was a powder or some special spice. In short, the source of the smell had left with the graceful figure, leaving only some wonderful fantasies.

"She is pretty, right?" Although the king is older, his aesthetic view will not change with age.

The Chancellor of the Finance Minister smiled. With the king for many years, he knew the other party's thoughts very well. His soft skin trembled slightly because of his smile: "Count Alpso's title was derived from military achievements. From this point of view, Miss Elizabeth was famous."

"She is a smart girl. She is very smart, very scheming and knows how to make choices." The king did not hide his thoughts, and he sighed slowly: "If it were twenty years ago, she would have become my princess."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer continued to smile and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness is very young. As far as I know, Count Alpso has never been married or lovers."

The king turned his head and looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "Laurent, who do you think is more suitable to be her husband?"

Although it was a questioning tone, it was mixed with stern elements that could not be ignored. The Minister of Finance quickly stood up from the chair and bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, you know I don't have that meaning."

The king and his subjects are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to put some words on the table.

King George had several sons, and according to the law, the eldest son should be the throne under normal circumstances. However, ministers and nobles had different opinions on this. They believed that the state was one with their wealth and power. Without a wise monarch, the Saxon Kingdom would have no hope or future.

Although the rules for the eldest son to inherit the throne were customized by the ancestors, the nobles did not accept this. Of course, they would not refuse it from the outside, but there were many private methods - assassination, poisoning, creating accidents to slander the public image of the heir to the throne, and frame him and make him lose his fate with the throne in this life.

In the ancient Silver Rose Dynasty, several princes lost their inheritance because of the conspiracy of the nobles. Some of them found sleeping with the elders of the royal family after a hangover, some were publicly exposed to like male servants, and some were criticized by many people for blasphemy... In fact, these princes did nothing, just had different political views, and wanted to reform, which touched the interests of some nobles.

You must be cautious when choosing a princess, and the same is true for the princess. When he was young, the king was also romantic, but as he grew older, he became much more interested in power than women.

Million pounds are a huge number, and even the king himself was extremely moved. If it weren't for the series of problems caused by the abolition of the queen, he really wanted to hand over the entire harem to Elizabeth. No matter how you look at it, it would be very cost-effective. She is indeed young and beautiful, but more importantly, she knows how to manage it. It is equivalent to having an extra wallet with a stable source of income in her pocket.

This thought just flashed through the king's mind.

The current queen is the eldest daughter of the duke. Although she is old and has a vast body of fiefdoms and a powerful army. More importantly, her family is in a crucial position in the aristocratic circle and has a strong appeal. The king is very clear that if she orders the destruction of the queen now, a large number of rebels will appear in the western part of the Saxon Kingdom for up to three days.

Marriage is the best way to win over outsiders. Based on the principle of "no water left to outsiders", even if you can't get it, you can leave the benefits to your son.

Such an idea cannot be said to be wrong, but it is not suitable for the current royal family.

The king was very smart. He knew the ideas of the nobles, so since the eldest son was born, he carefully taught the heirs and instilled various concepts of governing the country. With the birth of the second son, the third son, the fourth son and more heirs, the scope of education was also expanded, forming a state of competition with each other. This is a fact that the nobles were willing to see and accept, and they could make judgments from this and choose the heirs who were most beneficial to them.

This state has been maintained for many years, and the princes' marriages are also full of political colors. Although they fight openly and secretly, they will not fundamentally harm the basic interests of the Saxon Kingdom. This is a kind of healthy competition and will not cause criticism.

Elizabeth is an outsider. It would be fine if he was just beautiful, but at worst he could use it as a vase and let a son marry him in the name of "princess". This is actually the result that the king is most willing to see, which means that he has the opportunity to have a love affair on a night not far away in the future.

It doesn't matter whether she is willing or not.

I am the king, that's enough.

The problem is that she is a rich man, very rich.

What is the concept of one million pounds?

That is equivalent to the full consumption of a medium-sized war.

Please note that this is just the profit of Wangyou fans' business in one year, and it only accounts for 40% of the profit.

From this we can imagine how large the business scale of Elpso Trading Company is?

If she is betrothed to a prince without authorization, it will inevitably disrupt the current balance and cause chaos in the entire heir circle. Needless to say, the prince who can marry Elizabeth is the biggest beneficiary. But what should others do? What will they and the nobles they support behind them think?

Does this mean that the king has made a decision to be the heir to the throne by Elizabeth's husband?

The king dared not take this risk.

This world seems to be the most powerful person on the surface, but in fact, the richest person controls everything behind the scenes.

"Forty percent of the shares..." The king's thinking changed quickly. His eyes moved away from the Chancellor of the Finance Department and fell into another thought: "Laurent, I remember you said last time that the Holy See is very interested in the business of the Wangyou fans?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer nodded quickly: "Yes. Just last week, I signed another equity transfer document."

The king frowned and raised his hand to point to the document in front of him: "Same as this?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer answered in another way: "The signer of the contract is Bishop Jesserit. Of course, the beneficiary is his diocese and the Holy See."

The king raised his head, his face full of shock, and then he smiled helplessly.

"What a smart girl." He repeated this sentence, his low and dull voice revealing reluctance and regret: "Even smarter than I thought."

Elizabeth gave most of the equity of the Forget-Asian fan to the Holy See and the King, and the part she left was only 20%.

It seems very stupid, and she gave up the profit of up to two million pounds a year in vain. In fact, she exchanged a huge amount of money for two solid defense networks. This is equivalent to handing over the business to the Holy See and the royal family, and the three parties are jointly running. There has always been a contradiction between the power of religion and the royal power. No matter who wants to deal with Elizabeth, she must first consider the other party's reaction.

Elizabeth never thought of making money with Wangyou fans. In fact, this was not the main business project of Alpso Trading Company from the beginning. She kept in mind Tianhao's requirements - the business must be operated safely, and no matter what the price is paid, it must be protected by the Holy See and the royal family. The main business rights of Wangyou fans must be handed over, so that they will not attract attention.

The remaining twenty percent of Elizabeth has other arrangements. They will be separated and presented as gifts to several other dukes and marquises in the Saxon Kingdom who control the real power. Only in this way can Elizabeth truly enter the circle of high aristocratic families and implement the next plan.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer had a completely different view of Elizabeth: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with your point of view. I think she was just frightened and had much more worries about the future than wealth. I checked her details. The Elpso family was very chaotic. In order to obtain the right to inherit the title, she almost died at the hands of the family members. She is now a helpless orphan who wants to find blessings, and she also said that the reason for offering these shares was to become a marquis."

The king looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer with deep eyes: "Laurent, do you think this is a deal?"

The latter nodded and smiled: "If all the marquises do not need fiefdoms like her and can take the initiative to offer one million pounds, I think it will be fine if they seal hundreds."
