Anne wasn't a female pirate, and she wasn't interested in being a pirate.

She just wanted to be a businesswoman who was backed by a sea lord like England and did everything she could to trade.

At that time, England had already defeated France and completely determined the status of the hegemon of the seas.

Relying on the powerful naval power, the crazy colonial expansion and plunder, the sun never sets on the empire rises strongly.

Colonization, opium, slave trade...... All kinds of bloody businesses have driven countless English merchants crazy.

Of course, the huge profits of these businesses are also unimaginable to the world.

However, Anne didn't want to get her hands on any of them, because it violated her three views.

She wanted money, she wanted to fulfill the wishes of the "Lydias", but she didn't want to let her conscience be ruined.

Her behavior, in the eyes of some businessmen, is even full of stupidity - at a time when the empire is dominating the world, there are still people who stupidly do business according to the principle of buying and selling.

Shouldn't it be relying on the power of the empire, opportunistic, deceitful, and forced to buy and sell?

And, what kind of business does Mrs. Wickham do?

Not the most lucrative gems, opium, or slaves, but the traditional trade in silk, porcelain, etc.

Well, these businesses can also make money, but, can ...... Anyway, the merchants of this era probably don't know what the sunset industry is, but they still feel that the trade that Mrs. Wickham is engaged in is a bit hard compared to those lucrative businesses.

It took the same amount of effort (or even more) to make far less than other merchants.

Many businessmen who had come into contact with Mrs. Wickham were puzzled and even ridiculed when they saw the unusually young and beautiful lady's business style.

Mrs. Wickham is timid, a little woman who has never left the country in her teens, but who dares to devote all her wealth to the ocean trade.

can be said that she has the courage, but she doesn't dare to touch those really profitable industries.

In the bewildered and even lively eyes of the merchants, Anne was like a hard-working bee, sailing all the way and doing business all the way.

She adheres to the principle of fair trade, and exchanges goods brought from the mainland of England for local specialties with the indigenous and colonial people along the way.

What gems, gold, spices, etc., and then use these things to exchange with the next country.

She changed all the way, and others looked at her as if she was making some hard-earned money, but only Anne knew how many treasures she had accumulated along the way.

By the time her fleet circled the Far East, and then returned to England, she had nearly a million riches in her hands.

In addition, while sailing, she also "accidentally" found mold.

At that time, Wickham had a bad cold and had a fever of pneumonia.

Western medicine was just emerging in this era, but it was limited to a few simple medicines.

Anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drugs have not yet appeared.

Don't say anything about the plague, it's just a common cold, once the inflammation is too severe, it can kill people.

At best, the doctor will prescribe some salt water or simply pray to God to bless the patient with good luck.

When Wickham contracted pneumonia, the whole boat panicked. It's contagious.

And as long as it is infected, it is incurable.

On land, the doctors are at a loss, let alone on this barren sea.

Or Anne, Mrs. Wickham, full of affection for her husband, never abandoned, and personally stayed by her side to take care of Wickham.

She seemed to have exhausted all methods, and in the end, she showed a madness of "as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, she will go all out".

Just when everyone persuaded her to give up, she took out a mold drug she had "developed", which miraculously saved Wickham.

At this moment, Mrs. Wickham has completely become the idol that all the crew members really look up to.

Before, they were also in awe of Mrs. Wickham, but more than that, they were afraid of her fierce force and ruthless methods.

But after seeing Mr. Wickham recover from his illness, everyone's admiration for Wickham came from the bottom of their hearts.

Angels, Mrs. Wickham is a true angel, and she must have been sent from Heaven to save and protect them.

Outsiders respect and admire Mrs. Wickham so much, let alone Mr. Wickham himself, who was rescued.

When a person is seriously ill, the heart is extremely fragile.

But whenever you receive a little love, there will be an inexplicable warmth and touching.

And what Anne gave to Wickham was not just a little love, but never abandoned, carefully cared for, and finally saved her life.

Rao is a selfish and abusive scumbag like Wickham, and he actually has some sincerity for his wife.

Although no one can guarantee how long this sincerity will last, at least in Wickham's heart, he really regards "Lydia" as his wife for life.

Maybe when he goes ashore and returns home, Wickham will revert to his old ways and continue to wander his heart, but deep down in his heart, he has a small corner of his wife.

Of course, Anne is not unaware of Wickham's sincerity, she just needs an opportunity.

If she wants to be the brightest daughter of the Bennet family, then she must gain a certain social status.

In this era, although you can buy a knighthood with money, you have less confidence in the end.

Like Sir Lucas, Bennet's old neighbor, his knighthood was bought for money.

In a rural place like Longborn, he might still be able to show off.

But in the presence of real nobles, such as Mr. Darcy's arrogant and noble aunt, Lady Catherine, Sir Lucas became extremely timid and humble.

And the arrogant Mr. Darcy, the rich family, also needs to marry a real Miss Earl (that is, Mr. Darcy's mother) to improve his court.

Even so, the Darcy family only stepped into the realm of nobility with half a foot.

If he really wants the Darcy family to become a nobleman, the most important thing for Mr. Darcy to marry is his cousin, Mademoiselle de Baul.

But he still followed his nature, stayed true to his love, and asked to marry Elizabeth, a poor lady of the squire...... His behavior is unwise from the perspective of family interests.

But from the point of view of love, he is so flawless.

Anne had made a huge fortune on a single voyage, and she could have bought a knighthood.

But she didn't want to take such shortcuts, she wanted to become a real nobleman.

In England, if you want to get a knighthood through the formal route, you have to contribute to the country.

The golden age of colonization and navigation has passed, and it is no longer possible to obtain a knighthood through these.

The development of weapons, or the further advancement of the industrial revolution, should also be a great contribution. Anne didn't want to get involved in these areas, because she didn't want to be an accomplice to the British Empire's external expansion!

Let's study the drug and develop penicillin a hundred years in advance.

In this way, she can continue to help her gain wealth, and she can also get the noble [Literature Museum] status she wants......
