Two days later, the Swan arrived at its final destination, Puerto Poitou.

This port city is the capital of the province of Genoa, and it was once very prosperous. In the summer of that year, the Chinese people launched an ocean expedition, and the first place they arrived was here.

But now it is an ordinary port city, and because of the prosperity of the northern economy, especially the holy city and Gyeonggi Province, the northern port has also flourished. Overseas merchants also usually landed directly in the northern ports, and could cross the mouth of the Ossella River and travel up the river to the Holy City.

But the south is the south after all, and the climate here is pleasant, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer, and it is rich in flowers and fruits, making it a good place for vacation. The coastline is full of beautiful estates of the rich.

When we got to the shore, the dock was a mess, and many people in tattered clothes were crowded on the dock, trying to find some work.

"Are there a lot of poor people here?", Sean, standing on the dock, waiting for the horses to be unloaded, felt that the city was suddenly strange, and the original owner of his body was very familiar with it.

"No, they are outcasts, more pitiful than the poor. Butler Miller said, seeing that Sean was a little puzzled, explained, "Sir, you have been away from your hometown for several years, and in recent years our province of Genoa seems to have fallen under a spell, either floods or droughts, typhoons, and of course, increasing taxes, many people have been displaced and have to come to the city to find food. ”

Sean nodded, he came all the way from the north to the south, he thought that the north was depressed because of the cruel war, it was only a temporary difficulty, because in the holy city and Gyeonggi he saw vitality and prosperity, but he didn't expect that in the south of the empire it was a different scene.

"Pathetic!" Jensen interjected coldly.

Miller's butler frowned, this "picked-up" servant was really cheap and not good, and he didn't know how much ridiculous trouble he had caused Sean in the only two-day voyage from San Nado Island to arriving here.

However, Sean, the master, did not speak, and it was not Miller's turn to teach him a lesson.

"Dare to ask Mr. Connelly how he went ashore. "Our lady has asked me to invite you on her behalf to the Robinson family estate at your convenience." ”

"Please thank Madame on my behalf, and I will pay a visit after some trivial matters. Sean replied.

"The Robinson family will extend a warm welcome to Your Excellency. Butler Miller bowed politely, then returned to his motorcade and walked away.

Sean saw the little boy Carl poking his head out of the carriage window and grimacing at himself.

Sean turned back to Jensen, who had been standing beside him, and said, "Look, it's the same servant, why is the gap so big?"

"So, he's a housekeeper, and the annuity is at least two hundred gold louis, and I only need four gold coins a year, and it doesn't fall into my pocket, which is equivalent to nothing. You get what you pay for. ”

Jensen's answer was very innocent, and after more than two days, he also understood that Sean was not a harsh person, and it seemed to be a good meal ticket.

Sean struck him on the head with a horsewhip and jumped on his horse.

"Sir, wait for me!" Jensen followed.

In addition to overseas trade and fishing, Poitou is also famous as a flower producer.

Due to its geographical location in the south, but not in the hot south, most of the flower varieties from the north and south can be grown.

Almost every house has a few flowers on the windowsill, which fully shows the love of the residents here, and the type and number of flowers can be seen how wealthy the family is.

Whether it's an old woman or a little girl, they like to put a flower in their hair or hat, and as for the type, it depends on the protagonist's love for a certain flower.

Compared to the industrial civilization of the North, it is no different from a hundred years ago.

One example is that the textile of small farmers in the north is almost cut off, and it is replaced by industrial textiles, whether it is water-powered textiles or steam textiles, the northern part of Gyeonggi is sheep spinning, and the southern provinces are cotton spinning, and Genoa Province still stubbornly insists on hand-weaving, but the silk products are woven here, because this is the place where the silkworm species of the Xia Kingdom were first introduced.

Sean rode down the streets, his appearance and temperament had changed drastically, and the people here were no strangers to him.

Of course, he was no more than a nobody here until he was sixteen, a man who was quiet, introverted, and even somewhat timid. He still remembers the look of surprise on his faces when he told people who knew him that he was going to join the army.

The tall spire of Sawyer Church still stands, and the gray façade still stands out among the low-rise civilian houses.

Homesickness does not exist, but Sean suddenly realizes that he came here according to his heart, in fact, he is saying goodbye to his self before the age of sixteen, and a melancholy mood lingers in his heart.

This does not feel very good for Sean's predecessor, his adoptive father, Priest Connally, is a withdrawn man who does not like to interact with people, he has a lot of experience in the church, but he has changed several priests, and he does not have his share.

In Sean's view, Priest Connery was actually an inventive man who spent most of his salary and spare time on bottles and cans, and would have been kicked out of the church if he hadn't been an aristocratic person.

Therefore, Priest Connery cared little about Sean, which also caused the young Sean to have the idea of joining the army after his death.

Old Longmere, who had a grocery store diagonally across from the walled gate of Sawyer's church, was sitting in front of his shop smoking a cigarette and watching the sun set over the golden spires and gild all the buildings with a brilliant color.

In the distance, the man who rode a horse rarely seen in the south came to his eyes dressed in a golden light. Old Longmir wiped his eyes and asked hesitantly:

"Is it Sean?"

"Yes, Grandpa Longmere, I'm Sean Connery!"

Sean jumped off the horse, saw Jensen in a daze behind him, and gave him another whip, and Jensen came to his senses and led the horse aside.

"Ah, it's really Sean, you've grown taller and stronger, I don't even dare to recognize you. Old Longmir said happily.

Sean noticed that he was using honorifics. Old Longmill was the person Sean had more friends with when he was growing up, and he was also a person who had a better attitude towards Sean, and when he met Sean again, he obviously felt estrangement and a certain fear.

"I'm back, Grandpa Longmere, are you okay?" asked Sean.

"As you can see, I'm still the same. Old Longmill said.

Sean and old Ronmill stood on the side of the street and talked, attracting the attention of the neighbors, and people gathered around, with surprise, envy and curiosity in their eyes, which Sean had not seen before.

"Mr. Connery, I heard that you have made a military service in the north and have been rewarded with a ton of gold?"

Someone asked, confused.

Sean was inexplicably surprised, what about the 200 kilograms of gold that has not yet been seen, and it has become a ton when it is passed here?

"The newspaper says it's 200 kilograms, and you don't read it very often when you hear it. Oh yes, you can't read!" someone scoffed.

"That's just a rumor. I did make some military achievements, but the army just paid a few more years. Sean vehemently denied it, let alone explained anything else.

Although the onlookers didn't believe it, they were no longer the thin young man standing in front of them, and they heard that they were about to become a nobleman, which was really enviable.

Shaun said goodbye to old Ronmir and led Jensen to Sawyer's Chapel.
