"This is a letter written by the ruler of the East. The handwriting is a bit sloppy and the words are also very strange." After reading Chu Yun's letter, Charles I felt that the words in the letter were very different from those of his time.

Despite this, Charles I still understood what Chu Yun wanted to express.

The most tempting one is that in addition to paying tariffs for goods entering and leaving Britain, companies formed by Western companies and other Chinese merchants will also pay an additional "protection fee" to the British royal family. This additional "protection fee" is not recorded and collected by the Jiuzhou Army. In other words, Charles I did not need to work hard, and there was an additional income every year, and this income did not require parliamentary approval, because this is the property given to the royal family by the Jiuzhou Army and will not harm the interests of the nobles and bourgeois gentry.

Charles I handed over the private letter Chu Yun to his confidants to several of the confidants present. Earl Strafford and others were all kingly parties and were incompatible with the parliamentary faction. Charles I trusted them very much.

"It is very likely that it was written by the ruler of the East. When I talked to him, he used strange grammar and vocabulary that he learned from nowhere, and also an oriental accent." Sir Greenville read the contents of the letters lightly and found that it was exactly the same as the modern English used by Chu Yun when he spoke.

"The East is such a strange place, especially here. Let me be careful of the parliament. Could it be that the disbanded parliament can make a comeback?" Charles I did not understand what Chu Yun conveyed, nor did he know that according to the original historical trajectory, he would be tried by the bill to establish a special court in the parliament and sentenced to death.

Chu Yun reminded Charles I that on the one hand it was to sell him a favor, and on the other hand it did not want the parliament led by Cromwell to come to power, as that would be detrimental to the treaty reached with Charles I. A monarch like Charles I was easier to win over and control than a large number of parliaments. Moreover, Chu Yun had something Charles I longed for - money.

At this time, a considerable portion of the silver mined by Spanish and other European countries from the Americas and the silver mined by the shogunate from various mines in Japan flowed into China. Compared with the smaller Britain, Chu Yun was really rich.

"The people of the parliamentary faction are very unstable. They have frequent contacts and exchanges in the city of London and counties in private. I even suspect that they have a secret conspiracy." said Count Strafford.

"Our British Parliament is a tradition, and even the bill to increase taxes requires their consent. They are a group of squires, free citizens, and artisan owners. Once the tax increases, they will be counterattacked." Charles I was very troubled when thinking about the problem of the parliament.

His Stuart dynasty has been in high debt since Queen Elizabeth's age, and the parliament, besides supporting him when the country is in danger, hinders his other actions, making it difficult for Charles I to raise enough funds.

"The situation is deteriorating in Scotland. The Scotland's 'conventional faction' is dissatisfied with your policy and is trying to form an army to resist your rule there. There were also many rebellions in the area during my tenure as Governor of Ireland. I am worried that once the Scotland's 'conventional faction' forms a powerful army, it will invade our northern counties. Ireland will also take the opportunity to break away from our control." Earl of Straffor said.

"I have always wanted to solve the problem of Scotland by force. It was my hometown, but we did not have enough military expenditure! If we convene the parliament to raise military expenditure, they will advocate limiting my power, and even ask me and the Privy Council and other organizations to be responsible to their parliament!" said Charles I.

"According to the promise in this letter, if we promise to sell the shares of the East India Company to them, the Eastern Jiuzhou Army, that is, the troops of the Eastern rulers, are willing to provide the royal family with at least 100,000 pounds of asylum fee every year. As for the fleet that provides military ports to them, once Britain sends troops into Scotland or goes to war with other European countries, their fleets can unconditionally assist us in blocking the English Channel, and even help us fight." After Sir Greenville saw Chu Yun's private letter to Charles I, he found that Chu Yun actually promised to give Charles I such generous conditions.

Based on his understanding of Charles I, these conditions would definitely make Charles I tempted to sell the East India Company and provide military ports in Europe for the fleet of the Kyushu Army. Charles I lacked military spending and army, and the Kyushu Army had a large number of warships and the army was idle, so the two sides were likely to hit it off.

"It's easy to say that the port is to let them settle in. Their arrival can also promote the development of the port. However, the shares of the East India Company are private property. Our royal family does not have shares. How can we sell 90% of the shares to the East?" Although Charles I was short of money, he also believed that private property was sacred and inviolable, and he could not directly order the East India Company to transfer it to Chu Yun.

"Although the East India Company is not his Majesty's property, the royal family has granted the East India Company license to monopolize East India trade. If the threat of the cancellation of the East India Company's monopoly qualification and the Kyushu Army's investment in the acquisition, they will definitely agree to hand over the shares." Sir Greenville said.

"But my father awarded East India Company an unlimited charter, which will only be cancelled if the company has not made any profit for three consecutive years. According to the East India Company's annual report, East India Company has been making profits, and I have no right to disqualify them." Charles I worried.

"The charter of the East India Company was granted to the East India Company by His Majesty the former King, and His Majesty the former King has passed away. Now your Majesty has the final say. Let's go and test the attitude of the East India Company. Even if our government does not revoke their concessions, I do not think that the East India Company will continue to make profits in the future when facing the competition from the East. I have seen many of their wealthy merchants in the East, who are rich enough to compete with the country, and they also have their own sailing ships, and even have the right to buy armed merchant ships from their army. Almost the entire Pacific Ocean is their profit-seeking world. According to the East's rulers, they plan to advance to the Indian Ocean. Even if the East India Company refuses to invest, they will end up in a complete defeat." Sir Greenville said.
