On the fourth day of arrival in Boston, the seamen, who had lost their flagship, began operations at the same time.

Lorraine divided the team into four groups.

The first group was led by him, with Carmen and Clen, who were responsible for acquiring shipyards and looking for dependencies; The second group was teamed up by Acharin and Bell to take Pierce into the Boston social scene; The third group is Wang Ye and Haina, who begin to investigate the slave organization hidden deep underground; The fourth group is Katerina and Noah, who are responsible for staying behind in the water tank and cleaning up the Jackdaw, handing over arms on the one hand, and replenishing supplies on the other.

Everyone has a delicate and clear mission, and the Shame of Qianwan is a kindness that must be reciprocated for this group of conceited and proud privateer merchants.

Group 1......

Today, Carmen wears a dark green dress, which is almost black, but it can reflect the sparkling green shadow in every gesture, showing the texture and luster that only the best silk has.

Every stitch of such clothing represents money, and every thread is full of power, and Carmen hardly wears it, and the reason why she always carries it with her is because it is a day of negotiation like today.

The noble girl is out of the boudoir, and the room is full of luxury.

Lorraine only felt a light in his eyes: "Carmen, every time you take it seriously, I suspect that I have seen another person. ”

"Because the clothes and makeup are half that of a woman, my captain." Carmen unfolded her silk fan to cover her mouth and chuckled, "Can you take the liberty of asking?" With so many Carmen, which one is the most beautiful in your eyes? ”

"Each one of them is a peerless beauty." Lorraine elbowed Carmen and invited Carmen, "But I have the impression that the haggard beauty who was anxiously waiting in Southampton was probably the most beautiful." ”

"You actually remember when a courtesan was the most embarrassed!" Carmen rolled her eyes in disgust, "Like Henna said, your sluggishness is a sin." ”

Laughing and laughing, light bulbs, Carmen holding Lorraine, followed by Clen, the three of them were about to go to the battlefield together, and the sailor on duty at the barn door suddenly ran in.

"Captain, you have your guests."

"Guest?"

"It's two gentlemen, one is Thomas. Mr. Jefferson, the other who called himself Paul Jefferson. Mr. Revere. ”

"The governor and the legion commander......" Lorraine rubbed her brows with a headache, "such a big nobleman has come to the door, why don't Jenny and McCarthy know what to call?" ”

……

The so-called human rights and obligations have an eternal reciprocal relationship, to put it bluntly, it means that the world is not as good as it should be, if it is more straightforward......

Don't even want to be satisfied!

In Lorraine's team, Lorraine and Clen are probably the two most enthusiastic about acquiring the shipyard.

Karen's enthusiasm comes from her simple professional instincts and a beautiful yearning for retirement.

He had been ostracized by the shipyard to board the pirate ship in Lorraine, and as the elder and oldest of the seafarers, he often imagined his life when he disembarked.

Judging from Lorraine's generous treatment of long-term sailors, it is very likely that he will become the top management of the Chamber of Commerce after disembarking. If I don't have this vision, I should be able to eat a dry stock with food and clothing to pass the boring retirement life.

But that's not what he wants.

As a top craftsman trained in the Plymouth Naval Dockyard, he still has a dream of shipbuilding.

Build majestic warships with your own hands, sketch the future of the seas with ink pens, and so on.

Now Lorraine has given him the opportunity to realize his dream, a shipyard with top-notch facilities, although the design style looks a little demonic, but when he takes over the shipyard, everything can change!

Compared to Cren, Lorraine's wishes were actually more difficult, and he wanted to design a sailboat that belonged only to him.

This is not a simple wish.

There are many people in this world who can sail boats, and there will never be fewer people who are as comprehensive and superb as Lorraine, but there will always be only a handful of people who can design ships on paper.

Designing a sailboat is a specialty.

Lorraine wanted a fast, flexible, sturdy and powerful flagship, and if he wanted to turn his ideas into reality, he first needed to assemble a team of professionals who knew how to do it.

However, the need for a large and stable hull to be strong and powerful, and to be fast and flexible is contrary to this need, and there are very few design teams in the world that are obsessed with pursuing the high speed of large warships, and it is even more difficult to meet him......

But who would have thought that at the funeral of the Jackdaw, Niold actually sent one for him.

The shock and joy in Lorraine's heart can be imagined, and this joy even dilutes the humiliation of Qianwan, allowing him to plan revenge rationally with a relaxed mood.

This shows that Lorraine has a lot of ambition for the Haight shipyard and the strange designers.

However, as a team leader, he has obligations, and one of these obligations is the irreplaceable social tasks, such as hosting Thomas. Jefferson and Paul. Revere's visit.

Lorraine could not shirk his obligations, even if he knew the purpose of the two men's visit.

In the reception room of the water warehouse, Noah pours tea for the three of the main guests, and Caterina becomes the main escort for a rare time.

Because Carmen went to Haight on behalf of Lorraine, this made Lorraine's mind drift and a little absent-minded.

"Mr. Kenway, you were just about to go out?" Latest

Jefferson's opening went completely unanswered.

Seeing that the guest was embarrassed, the righteous knight lady hurriedly and politely poked Lorraine in the shoulder.

Lorraine suddenly came back to her senses: "What? ”

"Mr. Kenway was just about to go out, right? Looking at the way you look, I hope Mr. Revere and I haven't disrupted your plans. ”

"You can tell it's messed up by the way I look, right?"

Lorraine turned her back on the common sense of dropping cards and waved her hand with a broken smile.

"But it doesn't matter, Boston won't have a more important guest than Mr. Governor, and even Mr. Revere is here today. In the face of such a lineup, even if the Jackdaw is bombed again, I am obliged to push off the duel with the enemy. ”

"Do you already have a dueling partner?"

"Then it's up to Mr. Governor to decide if I'm willing to duel in Boston."

After a short and straightforward exchange of words, Lorraine and Jefferson raised their glasses together, and Revere smiled awkwardly, and quickly raised his glass, willing to foil himself.

Lorraine was slightly stunned: "Mr. Revere...... Sure enough, it's not for politics. ”

It's a step back.

Revere's jerky social moves shattered the balance of power between Lorraine and Jefferson, and Lorraine had to allow them to speak their minds, or Revere would not be able to step down.

This is the frustration of asking for people.

As said, Lorraine actually knew the intention of the two from the beginning.

The Jackdaw was scrapped because of the Saints' casual abolition, and Lorraine paid a huge price, which from a purely business point of view was entirely the responsibility of Party B.

Lorraine had plenty of reasons to demand that the Saints bear the losses, and she had enough initiative, because less than half of the arms had been delivered so far, and the part that had been blown out had been blown out.

However, the Saints have everything, but no money.

Behind her was the Puritan Church.

Since the outbreak of the Revolutionary War and the expulsion of the Anglican Church from the Anglican Church, missionary activity in the United States has entered an unspeakably embarrassing situation.

The old religious organizations were dissolved, the new ones were not formed, the theocracy was completely defeated by human rights in the secular realm, and the clergy who had been rich in the world during the long Middle Ages never imagined that they would one day need government help.

At present, the Puritan Church is responsible for the missionary mission in the Diocese of Greater Boston, and although its influence is no less than that of the Anglican Church in those days, it can only rely on the Massachusetts government for organizational funding.

It was not easy for the Puritan church to be fed and clothed, and if they wanted to feed the newly formed people's army, they had to sell their position and join the Continental Army.

These things were all figured out by Lorraine the night before after she had calmed down.

The Boston Nationalist Army was unstable, the Puritan Church was anxious to boost it, and the clergy and politicians were in perfect harmony when it came to the formation of the Church of the Saints.

At least until the demands of both sides are satisfied, it would be more appropriate to think of the Saints as a Continental Army with only some American financial backing, rather than as a civilian army.

Therefore, this poor ghost army composed of fanatics did not compensate Lorraine for the money, but at the same time, they could not give up most of the arms that remained in Lorraine's hands.

There was only one way they could think of, and that was to move Jefferson to intercede, and not let Lorraine pass on his losses to the Saints.

And now, Lorraine has given in!

When it was done, Jefferson smiled reservedly: "I am entrusted by the commander-in-chief, and I can only forgive you for all kinds of forcible requests." ”

"I can bear the loss myself, and the goods can be delivered today. But Mr. Governor, you can't just forgive you and buy these things, can you? Lorraine asked with a smile.

"Whatever is reasonable, I will promise you."

"I don't think you'll say no."

Lorraine sighed lightly and stood up solemnly.

"Mr. Governor, Boston is not peaceful during this time, and I wonder if the United States intends to hire some mercenaries to solve the law and order problem."

Jefferson raised an eyebrow: "Taxes in Massachusetts are very limited and it doesn't seem to be able to afford too high a hired fee. ”

"I know a friend who offers a very low price."

"How much?"

Lorraine stretched out a finger: "An octagonal gold coin, what do you think of the price?" ”

"I'll bring the advice to Massachusetts, and from my point of view, there's no reason for them to refuse."

"Then I'm sorry for you."
