The Governor also bought almost all the iron, linen and coal in the London area, and because of the fair price, many merchants also said that they could deliver to their doors------ only a little transportation cost was added.

This is what the Governor of the Second Lieutenant could not ask for------ they have already revealed the charts from England to Liberty Island in the London area, and they hope that they will be able to deliver them to their doors.

The Governor of the Second Lieutenant knew from the bottom of his heart that without the sea trade, Liberty Island would still be a desert island as before.

Maybe it will attract pirates, but it's still something you can't hope for!

Slaves are also purchased at a cost, and it would be great if there were pirates who didn't pay for the food to deliver it to the door in person.

After negotiations with the other government, the Governor finally leased about one square kilometer of the riverbank for 12,000 silver coins, and signed a contract for 50 years.

The officials involved in the negotiations were even greedy for the water-tipped fountain pens they used, and tactfully begged to leave, saying that they would keep them as souvenirs.

The second governor sighed in his heart, except for the primitive raw materials and labor, everything else here is extremely backward, and the country that is only a little better than the jungle tribe can become the most important country in Europe in the future------ if the judgment of the lord is right, then the rest of the country can only be worse.

In fact, the Governor of the Second Junior judged in his heart that only Genoa and other surrounding cities would become the most powerful places in Europe.

Of course, he wouldn't openly doubt the judgment of the Lord's family.

The Governor of the Second Lieutenant simply planned the land they rented, hired local laborers, and asked them to level the land first, and then dig the passage to and from the water------- Governor Minor Governor left some technicians in the construction and left them with sufficient supplies to return to Liberty Island.

The air in this place is always wet and humid, which makes people not very comfortable.

When he was ready to set sail the next day, he did have a visitor that afternoon, and to his delight, it was a merchant from the island of Liuqiu!

The man, who identified himself as Li Ao, had been doing business in the Mediterranean region for the last few years.

The Governor received him happily and invited him to his flagship for tea.

None of the people in the whole caravan wanted to go ashore to rest, because they saw that the so-called inns in the city of London were probably not as clean as the public toilets on the island!

That city is a place full of indescribable smells------ maybe a little better in the Tower of London?

But it was a royal palace, and civilians couldn't get in.

So, they prefer to live on their own boats.

What they don't know is that there is also a rumor in the city of London that Oriental merchants are extremely clean-loving guys, and their bodies can still exude natural fragrances!

A group of sailors who can smell their bodies is really unheard of------ what does it look like for sailors who come from afar?

Their bodies can stink for twenty miles when the wind blows!

But those Orientals are really different------ some people still look at their black hair and black eyes, and say that they may be descendants of the Roman nobles who moved eastward, or at least have something to do with the Latimins!

Black hair and black eyes are a symbol of nobility and wisdom------

Of course, the small merchants and nobles who had used soap did not fully agree with this statement, they believed that black hair and black eyes did represent nobility and wisdom, but the fragrance was only the smell of soap, and had nothing to do with whether they were descendants of Roman nobles or Latinums.

It's amazing how ordinary sailors can afford expensive soap with spices!

One more sentence to interject here.

In England on this plane, there is a chain of contempt for the color of the hair.

The black-haired people despise the blonde, the blonde despises the brown-haired ones, and at the same time, everyone despises the redheads.

Red-haired people are called "Ginger head" in English, which means "ginger head".

It's a derogatory term with a sarcastic connotation.

In fact, it is not the hair color that this chain of contempt despises, but the lineage and ethnicity that the hair color represents.

So what lineage does redhead hair represent?

It was the Celtic ancestry of England's aborigines.

The history of England began with the invasion of the British Isles by the Roman general Caesar, so that some of the people of England until today are of Roman descent.

What color did the Romans have their hair and eyes?

Black.

The Romans were Latimus, and the appearance of the Latimites was characterized by black eyes, black hair, and of course, their appearance was definitely different from that of Asians, and even the height of the Great Song people was not at all.

Now in the world, the tallest person still belongs to the black people of East Africa.

Because the Romans ruled Europe for too long, in the eyes of many Westerners, people with black hair and black eyes often represented wisdom and kingship.

However, the Romans were not the main ethnic group in England, and the largest population base in England was called "Anglo-Saxons".

They were migrated to the island by three Germanic tribes during the decline of the Roman Empire.

What color is their hair? Golden.

Conquerors such as the black-haired Romans and the blonde Germans naturally stood at the top of the chain of contempt, while the conquered red-haired Celts were reduced to the bottom of the chain of contempt.

But that's just one of the reasons why redheads are ridiculed, and there's another reason: redheads are a bad and demonic sign.

Why? For Judas, who betrayed Jesus, was red-haired.

In ancient Roman times, redheads were captured as slaves.

In France, there is even a proverb: "A red-haired woman is either violent or hypocritical, and often both." ”

In the London area, redheads are even believed to have stolen hellfire and should be burned alive.

Well, the Oriental merchants and their sailors don't understand the culture at all, and they are more polite to each other because they are more polite to them------ so we can't let such people think that we are not rude, right?!

All in all, the two sides have a pleasant cooperation.

As soon as Li Ao, an arms merchant, got on the ship, he felt that something was wrong, those sailors were by no means ordinary sailors, they must be members of the Marine Corps!

If this is true, then the person who calls himself an ordinary businessman must also be an ordinary businessman!

Li Ao, an arms dealer, was very frank and direct about his identity, and especially his experience in the army.

After hearing this, the second governor was even more happy, and said, "Really? You've also been awarded an award by Captain Bowie?! ”

"Yes, I am proud of it all my life------ he is the adopted son of the king of the Federal Empire, who led us to defeat the Tatar bandits!"

"You said you hadn't been back to Liuqiu Island for years, and you knew we had built the Federal Empire?!"

"Yes! Although I have been in the Mediterranean, I can know from Alexandria that the Empire is with us------- Empire is with us!" ”

The Governor was very satisfied, and said, "Well, I will tell you the truth, I am also the adopted son of the king, and it was the king who sent me here to trade and develop -------."

Li Ao, an arms merchant, stood up with a "Teng" voice, gave a clean military salute, and said:

"Hail to the king's adopted son!

The empire is with us! ”

"The Empire is with us------ "The Governor of the Second Rank also replied, and said, "How do you know that we are here?" ”

"Ah, I originally came here to look for business opportunities, I heard in France that the Scots and the English were going to war again, so I came to see business opportunities, I didn't expect to hear about the black-haired and black-eyed merchants from the East------ in such a place, even if it was a Japanese or Korean businessman, I would come to see it, all from my hometown!

Hehe, I didn't expect to meet someone closer than my hometown------"

The Scots are going to war with the English ?!

The second governor was shocked, their relationship was not very good, he knew this, but he didn't expect it to be to the extent of a war!

He thought as he tapped his fingers on the tea table.

After thinking for a while, the second governor said, "You are an arms dealer, and I want to negotiate a deal with you. ”

Li Ao, an arms merchant, was immediately happy and said, "I am willing to serve you!" ”

At this moment, a tragedy occurred in a small town in Scotland, thousands of miles away.
