John Hawkins and his cousin obediently exited the restaurant and immediately became happy. When the manservant on duty in the corridor outside the dining room nodded to the two of them, Brady put his arm around his cousin's shoulder again and laughed, "John, I didn't expect that your boy would be a blessing in disguise, and the captain would give you so much money to buy delicious food." ”

John turned his head to look at his cousin, who was a little greedy, and squinted at the other, "Brady, I know what you want to do." Are you trying to snatch my money and buy delicious food yourself? ”

While chatting, the two walked out of the first floor of the dining room and into the small square in front of the house. Brady hurriedly let go of the arm holding the other party and looked at him a little seriously, "I swear to God Almighty, I will never dare to snatch your money." ”

John Hawkins pouted in disbelief, "Really? So, why are you looking at the money in my hand with your eyes? ”

Brady smiled, raised his arm and scratched his head with his little hand, "I'm just curious, why would the captain give you so much money?" ”

"I think it must be because of that noble lady."

"John, where did this noble lady come from? What is she doing in the family domain? ”

"I heard from my father that this young lady seems to have come from the north to talk to him about trade."

"Talking about trade?" Brady subconsciously thought back to the conversation of the members of the family at the dinner table.

At this time, the sun converged its dazzling light and turned into a golden disc. The cloudless sky is blue like a clear sky lake. John looked up at the clear blue sky and urged his good companion, "Let's go, the sun is about to set." ”

A breeze blew through the bodies of the two, and Brady, who felt very comfortable, smiled happily, "John, even if the sun goes down at 9 o'clock, are you still worried that you won't find your way home?" ”

As the two of them walked briskly to the road north of the church, John shook his head, "I want to come back early and rest." Brady, all the important family members and the conversation of the noble lady at the dinner table, don't you hear? ”

Speaking of Miss Noble, Brady recalled the question they had just talked about, "Well, I remember what my father said, what he said to lead the fleet to... Where was the slave trade done? John, do you know what the slave trade is? ”

The two male servants guarding the subway fence gate saluted the two of them, opened the iron fence door a crack, and the two of them flashed out of Captain Hawkins' territory onto the street outside. The streets are quiet and there are few pedestrians, as everyone knows that this is the home of Plymouth's celebrity, City Council member Mr. William Hawkins.

As you walk north along the street, there will be more pedestrians and shops on both sides of the street. John didn't look at the shops on either side, but just remembered what his cousin said about the slave trade and glanced at his cousin, "The slave trade is probably selling those black people to plantation owners. ”

"Selling people to plantation owners? John, how I can't understand you, man... How can you sell it? ”

"Brady, I don't know. Without saying that, what would you like to eat? ”

As soon as he heard about eating, Brady's emotions rose again, and he jumped up and said, "John, you know what, I didn't have enough for dinner just now. There were so many delicious things on the table that I didn't even dare to pick them up with my hands. ”

John squinted at him and giggled, "Me too, even if I eat leftover bones, I don't dare to grab them with my hands in front of adults." ”

Brady put his arms around him again, pouting and glancing back and forth at the shops on the side of the street, "John, are you going to buy beef shank, pork, and roast chicken to eat, or are we going to buy some cane sugar and fruit?" ”

"Well, buy some of both. Don't forget, we've got half a pound now! ”

"Half a pound! John, we can both have a big meal tonight. ”

"Hahaha...... Quite right. ”

Isabel pondered Captain Hawkins' words and raised her eyelids to look at the other party, "Captain, how are you going to start privateering at sea under the premise of conducting normal trade?" ”

Captain Hawkins didn't answer immediately, just glanced at his brother sitting on his right and stood up. Holding the table with his hands, he glanced at the captains present, and then nodded when he looked at her, "Miss, I intend to organize a fleet of six armed merchant ships, and the money you have funded us will be used on three of them. ”

Isabel took a sip of wine, leaned back in her chair and looked up at the captain, "Captain, you can continue." ”

Then Captain Hawkins spoke out his thoughts aloud, "Mademoiselle, the ban on French ships should not be confined to the English Channel and the Cantabrian Sea. ”

At this time, Richard looked at Isabel and whispered, "Miss, the Cantabrian Sea is a sea area between the southwest of France and the north of Spain. ”

Isabel smiled and nodded, and continued to listen to Captain Hawkins' details, "I believe that His Majesty will not issue only a few privateer permits, so these two seas are left to other families to ban French ships. ”

"First of all, our fleet will go to Tenerife, the largest island in the Canary Islands, to find a Spaniard to be our navigator."

"Wait, captain, why do you want a Spaniard to be the navigator?" Isabel interrupted the captain.

Captain Hawkins looked at Isabel with unusual calm, "Miss, the first slave trade was carried out by the Portuguese and Spaniards, and this is only the first time we have started such a trade. Therefore, it is important to learn about the hunting sites set up by the Portuguese and Spanish off the coast of Africa. ”

"When our fleet reached the shores of Africa, we could hunt black slaves outside of the Portuguese and Spanish hunting points, following normal trade steps." After the captain finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and turned his gaze back to the group, "If you come across a ship of two countries that already has a large number of black slaves on the way, miss, I think our privateer will come in handy." ”

Isabel saw a scene of the two fleets firing on the sea using battleship tactics, grinning secretly, thinking, "At this time, the Spaniards are still using broadside warfare, and they jump on my ship near the side of my ship to kill my people." Spaniards, I'm going to give you a taste of the power of bronze front-loading artillery! ”

"Miss, Miss......" Isabel followed the voice to look over, it turned out to be Captain Hawkins calling softly, and quickly smiled and nodded, "Captain, you said it very well." ”
