No one likes to fail!

Sassoon didn't like it, he was afraid of failure, he was afraid of losing his fortune.

What did he desire?

The ultimate desire of every Jew is nothing more than money, and Sassoon is a standard Jew, and so is the Sassoon family.

When the Moors invaded Spain, the Sassoon family cooperated with the Moors as their tax collectors, doing their best to oppress the locals and assist the Moors in forcing the locals to convert with exorbitant taxes. In fact, in every Ottoman province, Jews played such a role. They were willing to cooperate with the Ottomans in order to gain wealth, although sometimes they also fell under the predation of the Ottomans, but compared to their European compatriots, they still had the opportunity to mix in with the upper echelons.

But for Sassoon, the wealth obtained in the Ottoman was always limited, and because of this, when he found out that Ottoman's opium was becoming popular in England in Europe, he immediately tried to enter the business, but the result was tragic, his brother, son, nephew, and many relatives were all lost in the transportation of opium, and he himself suffered extremely heavy losses.

Who is responsible for all this?

It was Zhang Jingde, and even when he met Zhang Jingde, he still thought of his youngest son, who was only 17 years old, who disappeared at sea and still did not know whether he was alive or dead, and Sassoon preferred to believe that he was dead.

But even so, he still suppressed the hatred in his heart, longing for cooperation with Zhang Jingde, in his opinion, this is the only chance, a chance for him to make a fortune again!

"David, why are we doing business with them?"

Victor looked at his eldest brother in bewilderment, and until now, he was still angry that he had lost his two younger brothers and two sons.

"Because, we have no choice!"

Sassoon said as he looked at his brother.

"Believe me, that Zhang Jingde's identity is not simple, he is not a simple businessman, you must know, without his permission, we will never be able to do business with the Celestial Empire, we will not even be able to return to Turkey, even if we go back there, what can we do? The creditors will send us all to the gallows, and now, the Celestial Empire is our only savior, and only with their help can we regain our wealth......"

Unlike his younger brother, Sassoon has recognized the reality, he no longer tries to challenge Zhang Jingde as he did in the past, but only hopes that with the help of the other party, he will regain his wealth, and then, who knows? Maybe one day, he will become the richest man in London.

"But this kind of business ......"

Before Victor could finish, Sassoon said.

"Victor, remember, we are not engaged in the slave trade, but in a normal business, and those women are eager to go to the Celestial Empire and start a new life there, and we are just helping them find a job!"

That's all, as for what the job is, he doesn't care, the only thing he needs to care about now is how to get more British women, European women to voluntarily sign contracts with the company.

"Victor, what if I hired a writer?"

"Writers? Do? ”

"It's for him to write a book, writing about how those women went to the Celestial Empire, how they soared, from maids to noble ladies, what do you think?"

"You mean like immigrants in the newspapers?"

Victor looked at his eldest brother puzzled.

"Yes, didn't many immigrants go to the New World at all costs, even as indentured servitudes, because they believed that gold was everywhere? Maybe we can give it a try. ”

Obviously, Sassoon, who had just set foot in this business, quickly found a way to develop his business, and this solution was very simple, which was to tell others a fantasy.

"Hmmm,......"

After thinking for a moment, Victor shook his head and said.

"There are too few people who know words, maybe, I can get the theater to discharge such a play, who knows? Maybe those people will also go to the theater, but very few people will see it. ”

Victor's suggestion made Sassoon nod thoughtfully, although he didn't answer, but just a few days later, almost all cheap theaters in London began to stage a play "The Duchess", this drama seems to be about the aristocracy, but the real protagonist is a maid, a girl who came to her own London slums, how to go to the Celestial Empire, become a maid of a duke of the Celestial Empire, and then win the favor of the other party and become a duchess.

It couldn't be simpler, but it was so simple that it made everyone doubt its authenticity, and it caused a sensation in London, especially for the girls of the lower middle class, who for the first time found out that their dreams were so close to them.

Everyone has dreams, but for women, what are their dreams?

Of course, it's to live a good life, and of course, because people are different, their desires are different. For a girl from the slums, her dream may be just a piece of bread, a glass of milk, to be able to have a warm room, and then to have clean clothes, that's happiness. And for Faith, who came from a family of merchants, she also has her own dreams.

"I hope to be able to be a maid of the Celestial Gentlemen, sir."

In the office of the English maid's company, the well-dressed Faith, looking at the shabby girls around her, she even wondered if she was in the wrong place, but in the eyes of those girls, she saw longing, and she knew that kind of gaze no better, and she also had such a gaze.

"Miss, you must know that every Celestial Empire person is a gentleman, maybe you don't believe it, every Celestial Empire person has studied in the royal school, they are all polite gentlemen, and rich!"

Fell looked at the girl in front of him and explained with a smile.

"I know that in the Celestial Empire, in every city and village, there is a royal school, and every Celestial Empire person must go there to get an education, which is why I want to go to the Celestial Empire."

"Have you seen The Duchess?"

"Of course!"

It was that drama that convinced Faith that she could fulfill her dreams in the Celestial Empire.

"It was that drama that changed me. I think the Celestial Empire is the most beautiful place in the whole world, unlike England, where a girl like me can never marry a nobleman, or even an ordinary gentleman, I am just a washerman's daughter, sir. ”

Faith stared at the man in front of her and said seriously.

"As hard as I try, only God knows that no matter how hard I try, the most I will do in the future will be to marry the baker, the butcher, the coachman, the rude men, my children, they will never be able to change their fate, never!"

Faith's tone was very serious.

"But in 'The Duchess,' the son of an ordinary man can become an official, which is simply impossible in England, so I wish I could go to a gentleman's house, and if he is single, I will marry him, and if he has a wife, maybe I can marry his friend, who knows?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Phil was silent, in the past year, he had seen too many such girls, these girls' only wish was to go to the Celestial Empire, even if it was a colony of the Celestial Empire, they ostensibly wanted to be maids, but in fact, they all had a dream - to be hostesses.

For many girls, this is their chance to change their lives and change their destiny.

On April 15, 1682, in the port of Southampton, in a warehouse, hundreds of girls came out, well-dressed, all looking excitedly at the ship in the distance, which they would take to the New World, where they would start their new lives.

The girls on the pier always look around curiously, none of them know where they are going and what their employers are like. They just know that there, their employer has already paid for their travel expenses, and they are paid an extra five years' wages — £20, and they only have to work for five years to be free, and then what?

Nobody knows then.

Of course, they didn't think about it at all, five years later, they didn't even think about going back to China, what would life be like after returning home? It's to continue to live in the slums, and eventually rot and die there like a mess of rotten meat.

So many of them are eager to seize the opportunity in these five years - to marry their master.

Yes, unlike in England, where it is possible for the master to marry a maid. She can be the mistress of that family. Even if it is a nobleman, you can marry a commoner!

How wonderful is that God can testify?

Originally, they all lived in slums, they couldn't even eat, in England, no family would hire someone like them as a maid, they had only one choice, become prostitutes, and then give birth to a few children who didn't know their parents, and finally die in the slums like a mess of rotten meat, their children, still like this, repeat such a tragic fate for generations.

In a new place, there are always new opportunities, new opportunities.

Unlike other women, Mickey looked at her face in a mirror from time to time after getting off the carriage to make sure she looked really beautiful. In addition to paying for their travel across the Atlantic, the company that recruited them also gave each of them a small bag containing daily necessities such as combs, handkerchiefs, and needlework, and, of course, two clean clothes, which were of the Celestial Empire style - in today's Europe, the Celestial Empire style of clothing is not uncommon, and for many dignitaries, they will occasionally wear Celestial clothes to show that they know the Celestial Empire, although in reality, no one has ever been to the Celestial Empire. But it does not prevent them from yearning for the Celestial Empire.

"You see, they, all of them, are looking at us with envious eyes,"

Michelle pointed to the dirty women in the distance and said in a triumphant tone.

"We're going to the Celestial Empire, it's like heaven."

"It's a colony to the Celestial Empire."

Someone next to him reminded.

"In the New World."

"The New World is better than England, it's better than here, at least there, I won't go hungry anymore, I won't eat smelly food anymore, you know? Perhaps, on the first day I arrived at the master's house, I would coax him to my bed, and then, soon, I would be the hostess! ”

"Haha, if that's the case, maybe you should change your name, and you shouldn't have Sherina anymore, after all, the names of the Ming people are different from ours."

The girls chattered and talked there, and without exception they all had their own dreams, and they all longed to fulfill their dreams in the New World, not to marry the rude, foul-mouthed criminals of the British North American colonies, of course, but to the graceful gentlemen of the Ming Kingdom.

Even a Ming man who farms is not as graceful as the British aristocracy!

The girls were convinced of this.

The Ming Kingdom is the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire is the Heaven!

These girls were there excitedly discussing the future, and even exchanging how to seduce their masters in the future, and when many girls felt a little shy about those words, outside the docks, there were many girls in tattered clothes, looking at these people with jealous faces, and they even had salt in their pockets from nowhere, and they wanted to use the salt to brush the stench from their mouths and make themselves better, and then one day, they could also walk into the maid's company, and then go to the New World, Africa, Southeast Asia, and even the Celestial Empire, became the maid of some kind of Celestial Gentleman.

"What a bunch of sluts!"

Compared to the girls' desires, many men near the pier would curse loudly when they saw the girls who were excited to embark on the journey.

"They're just a bunch of stinky bitches, only God knows, they want to collude with the hateful Ming people!"

"Those Ming people are all black-haired, black-eyed, and they are all descendants of the devil!"

"The devil testifies, I dare say, that their ship will sink in the sea, and will meet the wind!"

The reason why these men will use all their words to curse these girls is because in the past year, too many girls have left here, they have left England, and they have fallen into the bed of Ming men, and it seems that every Ming man can easily sleep with them, and as long as they see those people, they will willingly lie on the bed and strip themselves naked.

These women are sluts!

The men cursed them and used all their vicious words, but this did not prevent them from happily getting on the boat, and then looked excitedly at the people on the boat, these people looked different from them, they were all from the Ming Kingdom.

"Look, his skin actually looks a bit like gold!"

"Oh my God, he's really very handsome, if only my future master would be like him......"

The girls looked at the sailors on the ship with hot eyes, and their eyes were full of hope, longing, that was hope for the future, longing for the future......
