Behind them, Leo's smile disappeared from his face, looking at the group of figures in the distance, he shook his head slightly, this kind of thing, it happens several times a year, he knows that the other party's point is not to arrest any people who harass the place, but in this way, show their muscles to the Chamber of Commerce, brush their sense of existence, so that they can remember that this is still the place of the Ming Dynasty, not a colony of their Portuguese kingdom.

Knowing is a thing to know, but every time he encounters this kind of thing, there is still a deep sense of shame in his heart.

If there is a kingdom's Far East Fleet here, not to mention this, after all, this is a world that speaks with fists, and other people's fists are bigger than their own, then they have to be patient.

Olivia doesn't have any special feelings about hanging these two criminals, today's pirates are caught by the navy, caught by the local security forces, they are all treated like this, except for hanging, that is, hanging, there will be no half of the affection to talk about, as for whether those two people are pirates or not, and what does it matter, the Victor Chamber of Commerce said that they are pirates, that is pirates.

But this oriental nobleman, the tall man, yes, she now knows exactly what this adult is called, and she tried to call the other party like this, but the other party did not object, she felt that she was following the customs of the country, and she also called it so.

Lord Gao, it seems that the Victor Chamber of Commerce has something else, especially the firearms factory, she is very sure, she doesn't think it's to see the freshness, so she went there to have a look.

A lot of thoughts flashed through Olivia's mind, the tall man likes firearms, the tall man is interested in the firearms factory, and the tall man even cares about the firearms factory here if it can make cannons. All these signs show that this is a tall man, coming to Ho Jing Ao, it is definitely not a tour, whether it is a business trip or a personal reason, his biggest concern is still on this firearm.

Just as a middleman, buying a few firecrackers doesn't seem to satisfy the other party's interest, although the reward of five taels of gold makes Olivia excited for a while, but she knows that if she puts her heart into it, she deserves more.

It didn't take much time from the Chamber of Commerce to the Four Seas Restaurant, and after those miscellaneous people left, Olivia found an opportunity and whispered in Gao Han's ear: "Are you interested in the Chamber of Commerce's firearms factory?" ”

"Huh?"

Gao Han turned his head to look at her: "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"Actually, I think that the firearms factory or something, with the financial resources of adults, is not a problem at all, the important thing is those craftsmen, without craftsmen, the firearms factory is an empty shell, useless, if the adults are interested in the firearms factory, recruit a group of craftsmen, and build a firearms factory by themselves, it is not a difficult thing!"

"Are these craftsmen so hard to recruit?" Gao Han asked quietly.

"It's really hard!" Olivia said calmly: "If my ship enters the port, it must first pay taxes, and then it is necessary to be screened by the Chamber of Commerce, including skills, but all craftsmen, doctors, priests, and even farmers with a skill will be invited by the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, or requisitioned away, for those of us adventurers who have just arrived in the East, once there is a strong force as a protector in the place, it must be a more reassuring thing, and after the Victor Chamber of Commerce has mastered these talents, Then distribute their work according to the skills of the talents, which makes their strength stronger! ”

"So, if you want to recruit these firearms craftsmen, you can either recruit them from outside Ho Jing Ao, or you can only dig a corner from the Victor Chamber of Commerce!"

Olivia thought about it and told everything she knew, and sure enough, Gao Han was slightly stunned, he had never thought of these details.

"However, if the adults have the heart, my companions and I can dig up those craftsmen for the adults, as long as the adults pay high enough, I think, there will always be people who are tempted!"

Olivia saw Gao Han listening to his words carefully, and finally said what he thought in his heart, that's right, the Ming people want to go to the Chamber of Commerce all the time, and contact with the talents valued by the Chamber of Commerce, it's too much of an eyesore, but Olivia and his companions have this innate advantage, besides, those craftsmen are hired by the Victor Chamber of Commerce, they just provide protection and compensation, and the craftsmen can't always be in the Chamber of Commerce without coming out, there are so many taverns in Haojingao, so many places to have fun, As long as you have a heart, you will always meet them!

Gao Han nodded slightly, that's right, the existence of this firearms factory is very unreasonable, but, it is undeniable that in some technologies in this firearm, they have been ahead of the Ming Dynasty, if they can dig out some craftsmen from it, let him work for himself willingly, even if he doesn't want to build a new firearms factory or something, but, such talents, sent to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Bureau, are useful, think about it closely, in the future, the cannon will be purchased in the future, and the cannon must be taught to the soldiers how to maintain and use it. It's better to have someone in your own hands than to beg someone else when the time comes.

He was also a little interested in Olivia's initiative.

That's right, hiring this seemingly non-mainstream female captain on a whim, Gao Han certainly didn't think much about it.

He needs an interpreter, no matter who he hires, in the end he needs an interpreter anyway, and this girl is obviously very qualified, and the second, this girl is not ugly, no one likes the people walking around him, they are all ugly monsters who affect people's moods, although in the eyes of the Ming people, these so-called Fanren mothers-in-law are all ugly like some Yaksha ghosts from the underworld, but Gao Han has some memories of his previous life, and he knows how to appreciate the beauty of Western women.

Especially Olivia's wild beauty, in some cases, is more attractive than the pretentious or effeminate beauty.

Of course, the most important thing is that Olivia and her companions are quite down, so depressed that you can tell that they are almost destitute at a glance.

In this world, the icing on the cake is not more popular than not giving charcoal in the snow, when the other party is embarrassed, you can show kindness, and give help, and get a reward, often far more than when the other party lacks nothing when you go to the icing on the cake.

If you are poor, you will think about change! Gao Han still understands this truth, you see that it will not work now, even the things he didn't expect, this Olivia thought of it for him.

"You can let your companion do this!" Gao Han nodded: "Of course, in terms of remuneration, let's recruit them according to three times their current remuneration, the important thing is to tell those craftsmen that if they want, they can be protected by our Ming, if the craftsmanship is good enough, even if it is not difficult to mix backgrounds!" ”

Olivia frowned and listened, she understood every word of Gao Han's words, but after all, she was not a native of the Ming Dynasty, and some words still didn't understand the meaning.

"I understand the remuneration or something, and I also understand the protection of the Ming Empire, this is the generous condition you offered, but, the background or something, please forgive Olivia for not understanding a little?"

Thinking about the origin of this girl, Gao Han thought slightly: "Since your family hired a tutor for you before, since you finally chose to come to the East, presumably, you have read Marco Polo's travels!" ”

Olivia nodded, of course she knew, and she was sure that many famous people, the pioneers of new routes, from the far west to the East, were all influenced by this travelogue, and if it weren't for this Marco Polo's detailed record of the East, who would have known that there was such a rich and prosperous empire here.

"This Marco Polo is a Yiren like you, but when he traveled to the East, he once served as an official in the imperial court at that time, this, we call it birth, as for this official position, how long can you do it, how big can you be, we call it future, birth and future, with these two things, in our place, you can be a human being!"

"In other words, it is possible to become an official of the Ming Empire, or even a nobleman?" Olivia felt trembling all over her body, she had never thought of such a possibility, but today, when this possibility came out of Gao Han's mouth, she realized how small the little thing she had pursued before was in front of this possibility.

"Uh-huh, tech officer!" Gao Han replied vaguely: "These, if you have a background, you will talk about the back, you don't even have a background, it's too early to talk about these!" ”

"So, my lord, can I also have a background, and besides, with a background, can I also have a future?" Olivia felt her voice change, and her eyes looked straight at Gao Han.

"This, it depends on how useful you are!" Gao Han looked at her from top to bottom and said unhurriedly.

Under Gao Han's scrutiny, Olivia's face, which has always been full of care, also began to have a hint of shyness on her cheeks, don't look at her big grin, and even a few rude men around her at any time, no one may believe it, but Olivia is still a virgin, this, even his closest partners don't know, Olivia rejects men, in the eyes of her partners, it's just that Olivia is high-spirited and looks down on those ordinary and mediocre men.

Right now, Gao Han's gaze swept over, and she seemed to feel that this gaze was like substance, brushing over her whole body, and the thought was repeated in her mind: If you want to have a condition for being born in the Ming Empire, that is, this tall man wants his own body, then do you agree, or not?

"Let's go get this done!" Gao Han shook his head slightly, I don't know why, seeing that Gao Han didn't seem to think anything wrong about himself, Olivia was still slightly disappointed in his heart.

If you look at it according to her standards, this Oriental nobleman is actually countless times stronger than his original negative fiancé, young, golden, powerful, and handsome of an Oriental man, the only fly in the ointment is that this man is married, and it seems that the relationship with his wife is still very good!

Olivia never wanted to be someone else's mistress, but if this man was really good to her, she might not refuse to be her mistress!
