Chapter 546: A Special Gift

"Don't worry! My Governor, you are also the Governor of a place, and you need to maintain your manners! ”

Andrews pursed his lips and looked at Gilbert's eager expression with a look of contempt.

"Alright! Your arrival, my friend, is my best gift! Sighing helplessly, Gilbert collected his mood and talked to him about his past few months as he walked.

The unbridled harassment of the immigrants by the American wolves drove them away and built a fence; Because of the inexplicable disease, more than half of the Indians were killed or wounded, so they had no choice but to migrate and leave, and the place where they lived was bought by them; There are too many mosquitoes and fevers in the Americas, so you can only light a specific herb every night to cultivate it, otherwise you will be bitten to death.

"We also caught a group of sheep, it seems that they were brought by the Spaniards in the past, wildened, and now they are very brutal, but the meat is very delicious, do you want to taste it!"

Gilbert pointed to the sheep in captivity, and especially to the magnificent horns of the sheep, and said with some excitement.

"This is the first animal we raised, and it is very commemorative!"

"This elk is really big!" When I arrived at the office, I looked at the huge deer head hanging from the wall, which took up a quarter of the entire wall.

Especially the hard, great fork, with a distance of about five feet between the two horns, much larger than in England.

Andrews' eyes lit up immediately, stroking the smooth antlers, and sighed.

"This is the deer herd of bucks I hunted before, but it took me a lot of effort to get this giant deer, not to mention anything else, in the whole of America, there are really a lot of deer, and the size is also big!"

Seeing his friend's salivating appearance, Gilbert shook his head amusefully and explained for him.

"Hey, Gilbert, it looks like you're doing well here! I'm worried about you! ”

Andrews shook his head with a sigh and looked at Gilbert, who was tanned and more energetic, and was very happy for him.

Colonizing the Americas, it sounds great, but it's all about starting over, unknown enemies, unknown dangers, and all sorts of life difficulties, even more difficult than conquering a country.

Especially when the Spaniards had already established a foothold in North America and had to stay away, it was even more uncomfortable.

The worry in his heart was alleviated a lot, and Andrews patted his face, and then smiled happily: "It seems! Our Lord Governor is still qualified! ”

"Smack-"

Knocking Andrews off his right hand with one hand, Gilbert sat down in his chair, stared at him with wide eyes, and asked impatiently:

"Come on, Andrews, I'm not in the mood to mess with you!"

"Say what?" Andrews asked playfully.

"What the hell have you brought me, how can it be so mysterious?"

The friend's behavior made Gilbert's heart itch more and more, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Alright! All right! Seeing that his old friend couldn't bear it anymore, Andrews agreed, "Wait a minute, things will come!" ”

Sure enough, Andrews didn't talk nonsense, and after less than a few minutes, two sailors carried a box and panted over.

Moreover, the surface of the box is also covered with cowhide, which is protected layer after layer, and it seems that the contents are very valuable!

"Your gift really puzzles me!"

Untying the rope himself, after lifting the cowhide, a quaint box appeared in front of Gilbert.

Squinting at Andrews on the side, but getting a shrug and please, Gilbert smiled and opened the box himself.

"Boom-"

"Wow-" Gilbert screamed in surprise, the gift was so surprising.

The others stuck their heads out and watched curiously, what was it that made the Governor scream.

I saw that what caught my eye was a heavy book, and the name of the book was: Magna Carta

Below, under Gilbert's overthrow, they all came into view: inheritance law, customs law, trade law, and the new piracy law.

These were all exposed in front of everyone one by one, and everyone's expressions were different.

But there is only one thing in common: joy.

Yes, that's right, in this world of freedom, although there is infinite land and food, but the thing of freedom makes everyone taste a little sweet, and soon ushered in the bitterness.

There are so many laws in the United Kingdom.

Ordinary petty theft can still be maintained by customary law, but if the case is a little more complicated, the judge can only keep his head silent and exercise it according to memory, but it often conflicts with reality.

After all, this is not in the United Kingdom, where you can look up the law, and there is no lawyer to serve you, and the judge alone cannot convince the public.

Little Edwardton was particularly irritable because there was no law.

For example, in the United Kingdom, if there is no heir to the inheritance, it will be inherited from other relatives, while in the Americas, there are no relatives to find, and it is impossible to send it all the way back to the United Kingdom.

So, according to local conditions, on the basis of customary law, Edwardton established his own provisional law, which kept the colony running.

But His Excellency did not want to, and he put on his glasses and shouted at the Governor and the other officials: "Edwardtown has made a number of important changes to English law, which are immoral and contrary to tradition!" ”

The colony lacked "a government in accordance with English law", and only a government of a completely British style was "most in line with our British temperament!" ”

His Excellency was loyal to the British system and demanded that the colonies be maintained by English law.

But Kuai has no support from legal texts, after all, judges don't have much money to buy legal stripes, and at this time, with these legal texts, others have nothing to say!

And what about the Governor-General? There is no legal support for the provisional statutes, and the judge's mouth alone is to say what the law of the United Kingdom is, denying the authority of the Governor, and everyone is not convinced, and there is no basis for the words.

But if there is a legal text at this moment, it will be a real drought.

The judge expected true kingdom law to maintain the colony; The Governor wanted to put an end to the judges' challenge to the Governor's authority by practical law.

"You've done me a great favor, Andrews!"

Gilbert shook his friend's hands very cordially and said excitedly, this is really grateful.

In Edward Bay, where there is no law, there are too many contradictions accumulating.

"Oh! I know, you see, Gilbert, this is the most important part of the gift—"

Andrews flipped through the Magna Carta and pulled out something that Gilbert was so excited that he almost fainted.
