Robin sold out most of his porcelain in Goa, fetching about 80,000 pounds sterling, and a profit of 400 percent compared to the cost, which was only a short journey.

As a result, the spare ships loaded with a large amount of purchased supplies, such as timber, tiles, tung oil, and gunpowder, returned to Calcutta half a month later.

I saw that the village, which was originally composed of wooden branches and cloths, now stood up a fortress, a simple fortress, in the midst of a tall wall, looking from a distance, a rough clue.

It is like a mushroom in the forest after the rain, standing upright, stubborn and strong.

In just half a month, there was such a scene, which made Robin overjoyed:

"This Will is indeed worthy of being a businessman who has served the royal family for generations, with a wide range of knowledge, quick work, and very capable!"

"Yes, Will's abilities have always been good!"

"In just half a month, this fortress has been built very well!"

Thanks to Will's usual good popularity, the businessmen around Robin also nodded and praised one after another, and they were all very satisfied with Will's performance.

"It seems that this Will's popularity is still good, and he is worth promoting!" Robin looked into the distance, silently thinking.

When they arrived at the shore, the simple dock had been built, which made Robin, who had disembarked, even more satisfied.

"Sir, these people are all laborers hired by me, let them carry the goods!"

Will had already seen the return of Robin and his party, his face was suddenly happy, and he hurriedly walked to the dock, leading those black-skinned Indian laborers, waiting silently.

"These people are laborers? In the past, what about the villages here? Robin glanced curiously at the swift laborers, and strangely felt familiar.

"I bought all the village land here from the greedy officials of the Mughal Dynasty, and these laborers are all former villagers!"

Will glanced lightly at the laborers who were carrying them, and said casually.

"By the way, sir, with the bribes and the money to buy the land, there is not much left of the pounds you left!"

Speaking of this, Will touched his head a little embarrassedly, looking a little ashamed.

But those who are familiar with him know that at this time, he is straight-waisted and full of arrogance.

Seeing this, Robin smiled, the young man's behavior, this is normal.

"It doesn't matter if it's money, as long as the commercial station can be built smoothly, no matter how much money you have!"

Robin shook his head and said nonchalantly.

"It seems that these villagers are the so-called untouchables! No wonder the officials had no qualms about selling their land! ”

"Untouchables? What is Untouchable? Will's young face was full of doubt, he didn't know the Indian system.

So, Robin popularized the social system of India to Will at this time.

There are four major caste classes in India, with Brahmins (priests) having the highest status, Kshatriyas (princes and nobles) seconding, Vaishyas (merchants or farmers and herdsmen) again, and Shudras (slaves) having the lowest status.

There is a clear hierarchy of status between castes, and a woman of a higher caste is not allowed to intermarry a man of a lower caste, but a man can marry a woman of a lower caste.

Brahmins are sacrifices, Kshatriyas are officials and kings, Vaishyas are merchants and workers who support Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and Shutudas are the commoner class, artisans and servants who serve the above castes.

Outside of the four castes, there are the untouchables who live at the bottom of society, also known as "Dalits" or "untouchables", who do the most menial jobs such as cleaning up corpses or filth.

The number of untouchables, who make up a quarter of the total population, was the Aryans who relegated the dark-skinned indigenous people of India to untouchables after they occupied India.

The code stipulates that "untouchables" should keep knocking on clay pots when they go out and walk on the road, reminding high-ranking people not to touch them. The Code also stipulates that if a person of a lower caste harms a person of a higher caste, he must be severely punished.

If a person of the higher castes is hit with his hand, then the hand is to be chopped off; If a person of the higher castes is kicked with his foot, then the foot will be chopped off.

The village of Kolkata, on the other hand, is a Dalit village, and the reason why they live near the mouth of the river is because they are far away from the residential area and are disliked, and because they are engaged in laundry, which is more convenient near the mouth of the river.

Therefore, in the face of gold coins and untouchables, the officials did not hesitate to sell the untouchables, not caring about their feelings at all.

After knowing this, Will only showed a trace of unbearable expression, and then his mood calmed down, what does this have to do with him?

"It is said that the high-caste people of India, with white and tender skin and delicate facial features, are inseparable from our appearance!"

"And the lower castes, on the other hand, have dark skin!"

"And the reason why you were able to occupy the land smoothly may be that they thought you were a high-caste person, so they succumbed to you!"

Robin concluded, and Will had a look of abrupt realization.

"However, this will make it easier for us to set up a trading post here, and we can capture more untouchables and let them build fortresses and walls!"

Robin looked at the merchant station that was gradually getting neat and nodded.

"Also, in order to ensure the future trade of the trading station, and also for the benefit of the kingdom, we will also recruit some Indians as mercenaries to improve our strength."

Looking at the more than 1,000 sailors around him, and then looking at the huge population of India, and the giant Mughal dynasty, Robin was a little nervous and scared.

"Will, you have participated in military training before, and you have also participated in military activities in Brittany, so in the next Calcutta, the construction of the trading post will be entrusted to you, and you will be given three hundred men, and I and the others will return to London with the fleet and goods to meet Your Majesty!"

"Yes, sir, I promise to complete the mission!" Will happily agreed, and he was so young that he had been given this important task, which made him extremely excited.

"Remember, I need to come back and see a thriving Kolkata, not stay as it is!" Robin said solemnly.

Robin didn't care about the name of the Calcutta trading station, he cared about whether he could complete a United Kingdom's foothold in India, so that he could acquire colonies and make a lot of profits, just like the Portuguese.

In this way, Robin stayed for a few days, and then he was relieved to take a boat to Goa to buy some spices and precious stones, and then he traveled all the way back to London to give good news to His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but smile.

Inside the ship, in addition to dozens of loads of raw silk, there were also some books from the East, and these were the things that His Majesty had told the King a thousand times.

After completing the task, he is about to get a reward, which can't help but make him excited.
