Chapter 309: Freedom on Liberty Island

Bernell also spent some coins to buy some pictures from the so-called photo studio...... Those are some of the important places and people about Liberty Island.

A sprawling seaport built in less than three years...... There are also numerous sea vessels docked in the harbor.

Several sailors dressed in various colors, they respectfully half-gathered around an oriental sailor.

Several are said to be officers of the Federal Imperial Army. Their majesty is incredible.

Two Oriental mounted policemen sat on horseback and smiled at the people.

An Oriental woman and her Scottish maid walked one after the other.

The supreme power on Liberty Island, the "Little Er" Governor, he stood in front of his governor's palace and looked up at the sea.

Five-masted battleships flying the flag of the Federal Empire are preparing to go to sea.

In the endless wheat fields, there is the strange horse-drawn wheat harvester that cuts out long rows of wheat.

One of the images that caught his attention the most was a dozen fishermen standing in front of a huge sea fish...... The sea fish was lying on the shore, and it was one and a half people tall!

For this picture, he also made a special trip to the so-called whale treatment plant to see it...... The treatment plant was built on the seashore, and the blood that flowed from the treatment plant had already stained the sea near it red.

It is said that this was the blood left behind when the giant fish was killed and the blood was bled in the open sea before the giant fish was brought back...... My God, they are like the gods of the sea.

That giant fish could overturn Europe's largest galleys!

I have only heard that the Vikings have ever caught a giant fish, but it is by no means as big as in the picture...... He also ate fried giant fish meat, which turned out to be dark red, like old beef, and the taste was okay.

The fish oil from the giant fish is edible and can also be used for lighting...... But it was definitely not brightened with the so-called "kerosene".

It's just that kerosene is too expensive.

The observer recorded his observations with a steel-tipped pen and a plaid notebook he bought in London's new business district...... There is also a gold pen for tap water, purportedly made of ivory and gold, which can be used without having to hold an inkwell at the same time...... But that one was so expensive that it cost one hundred and fifty silver coins!

Perhaps only His Holiness who liked luxury goods could afford it.

After he finished writing, he arranged the pictures and put them into the lattice layer of a leather bag one by one.

The only thing that makes him happy is that the price of leather goods here is even lower than that of the City of London...... The leather bag was made of the skin of the giant fish, which was smooth and soft to the touch.

He also bought a few more pieces for his family, including women's satchels and men's and women's leather shoes...... He tried his own feet, remembering the size of his wife's feet in his head.

In this way, he took the Oriental merchant ship to the London area and paid the lowest fare of any passenger on it...... Because he had the least luggage.

Along the way, he lived as comfortably and quickly as he came...... After one ride, he no longer wanted to ride in a stinking and slow paddle boat.

London's New Business District also has shops selling world maps and globes...... These two items cost a lot of money, but they were like the compass...... Many captains and nobles bought them, and these things were too important for their voyages!

They were greatly perplexed by those Orientals bypassing the so-called Nankai region...... There's even a place where people can live?!

Unfortunately, they themselves knew that with their existing skills in sailing boats, it would be impossible to go south directly, then bypass the Nankai area, and then pass through the long Tianzhu Ocean to the new business district of Marbury.

The reason is simple...... Along the way, they simply couldn't replenish the oarsmen!

In the era of sailboats, due to factors such as hygiene, diet, and fatigue, oarsmen were the biggest consumables, and it was not possible to catch just one person to become an oarsman...... The long sea journey is definitely a dead end for them now.

None of them dared to go south now, even though most of them already knew the sea route.

However, for the captains of the Kingdom of England, they were the first to acquire the navigation skills of the Orientals, and the first to learn to build three-masted ships, and in the opinion of the Governor of the Second Child, they already had the ability to sail to the Nankai region.

It may not be the intention of the Governor of the Second Lieutenant to spread the art of navigation to them, that is, not to provide it to them, and they will soon be able to learn it, so why not take the opportunity to sell it for a good price?

…… But if they learn, they should take the initiative to go to the Nankai area to trade goods or immigrate, this is the real idea of the second governor of Xiaoer.

The Federal Empire will never close itself off, and will always welcome commerce and immigration!

Building the Great Wall of the Sea to block communication with foreign lands?

That was the idea that the Governor of the Second Junior Governor scoffed at...... The Federal Empire will always move forward, and it will always need commerce and labor!

But the captains of England were now keen to trade between London and the cities of the Liberty Island and the coastal cities of continental Europe, and were happily reselling them, as were the case with the city-states of Italy.

This result is unexpected...... They're just short-sighted guys!

However, things changed as the Italian city-states rushed to Liberty Island and paid big money for Oriental sea vessels.

Genoa, Venice, Florence, and Rome were cities where some of the big merchants or small and medium-sized merchants had a wealth that England could not afford.

The Viceroy of the Second Minor often added some subtle red lines to the sea charts, connecting the various coastal ports of continental Europe from the free ports...... That's a golden route on the rise!

The Governor of the Second Junior often smiled and thought that as long as there was a stable supply of goods and the safety of maritime transportation was ensured, no one could stop the business and trade activities!

Of course, freedom and contract are at the heart of it.

The Free Port set up by the Federal Empire may seem to have lost a large amount of customs duties, but its subsequent influence will be enormous...... This is an important node, just like the new business district of Marbury and the Nankai area!

Merchants from all over Europe continued to pour into Liberty Island, and there was no need for the Governor of the Second Minor to bother...... The development of the island is like a dough that has been made, and it has swelled on its own.

Of course, the work of urban construction planning and order assurance must keep up...... Because of some inexplicable hatred between certain countries or peoples, they often have to fight, such as the Scots and the English, and the Genoese and the Venetians, they often clash, and sometimes fight!

Especially after drinking at night, they rely on the bright street lights and often provoke each other.

The Viceroy had to draw out the Imperial Army cavalry to serve as mounted police...... As soon as there was an incident of group fighting, the mounted police rushed to the horse with a brass whistle, and regardless of who was right and who was wrong, they smoked a rattan on the horse's back, and the group beaters all hugged their heads and ran away.

Those who dare to resist will draw their sabers again......

As a result, there are those who break their heads and bleed among the group beaters, and there are very few serious injuries or even deaths.

The patrol police department will definitely hold a trial one by one afterwards, and the first offender will be sentenced to three years of hard labor...... In a few cases, people who came to the island to do business or find a way to make a fortune basically understood the rules of Liberty Island.

Freedom always comes from abiding by clear rules.
