Sheffield made an inviting gesture and asked the girl in front of him to follow him out for a walk, Martin was shouting at the plantation for the black man to hurry up and turn the ground, and sometimes he would laugh and chat with the overseer next to him, all of which were in full view of the two people not far away, "The black slave group is dividing, the black butler you pushed out replaces the white man who gave the order directly, I feel that your plan is avoiding directly incurring the hatred of the black slaves!" ”

"You know what? Every time I finish talking to you, it's as if there's a little less of a thing called conscience in my body! Sheffield lowered his head and kicked the stones in the ground and flew out, and said twice with his hands in his pants pocket, "Actually, I was ready to sell the Valkyrie for a long time, but in the midst of hesitation, you pushed me at the most critical moment......

"I feel honored! Didn't let you struggle with hypocritical morality! We don't break the law, what are you afraid of? Annabelle's pale forehead lifted slightly, as if she was very proud of the fact that she had helped Sheffield at a critical moment.

"It's not a question of breaking the law or not, this thing is much more powerful than opioids!" Sheffield rubbed his face, then looked up at the sun and said, "Besides, I don't mean to go back, why do you have to force me to think you're right?" ”

"Because I was right!" Annabelle said with a disapprehensive face, "If morphine can be used as a medicine for women and children, why can't you sell it if the things you refine are better?" Besides, we've signed a contract! ”

Sheffield found a tree to lean against the trunk, turning a deaf ear to the girl's pursuit, and once the conversation was endless, Annabelle would now say that she was the smartest person in the world, and he would nod her head in approval! It's been a day of arguing, and he really doesn't have the energy to continue.

"Pharmaceutical machines, I will help you order them in London, what else do you want?" In terms of collaborators, Annabelle is definitely a very good partner, there are some things that Sheffield doesn't need to say, she has already thought about all the preparations, if this girl also has future memories, I really can't imagine what kind of devastation will be suffered by the people of the north.

"Oh, I forgot! Your family is also connected in London, which is really powerful! Sheffield yawned and said lazily, "Since you want to do it, you can do it, some Prussian scholars who study electricity, and scientists who study vacuum in London can be found!" You can't do anything without a stable power supply......"

"Okay, I've written everything you said!" Annabelle nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and the boy in front of her was like a treasure waiting to be discovered, and she was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to explore.

However, Sheffield did not give the girl this opportunity, and focused on the black children who exercised, and should still start with the doll in terms of brainwashing.

Sending Annabelle away, Sheffield breathed a sigh of relief, drug trafficking is still a small way, he will not use this industry as a source of funds to support his career, in the long run, the chemical group is the direction of his efforts, and the immediate goal Sheffield also needs to be a farmer who depends on the sky to eat, although he has a little more land and a little more people under him.

Bringing his three new butlers over, Sheffield carefully asked them about their hobbies, and then said, "Which of you likes Europe more?" I have to jump out of a trustworthy person to live in Europe, of course, all the expenses are borne by the plantation, and in the future, once there is a channel to make money as the head of the European side, five percent of the profit as his salary, if you have the ability, you want to make a million a year, I will also give you this proportion, of course, the same is true for the country......"

No matter how extensive the network of Taylor Manor is, it is not Sheffield's own, and once a dependency is formed, it is equivalent to being controlled, which is not a good thing! Even if progress is slow, this channel must be established on its own.

"I'll go, I've always wanted to see Europe! Look at the bustle of the heart of the world! Rahel was the first to speak.

It was not surprising to Sheffield that Americans in the mid-nineteenth century saw Europe as the center of the world. On the surface, London and Paris are not necessarily stronger than New York, but after all, they are the world's famous empires, unlike the United States, which has been shouting for more than 20 years that the Americas are Americans, and they are still stuck in shouting slogans, and in front of countries like Britain and France, the value of this slogan is almost equal to farting......

"Okay, when you are just beginning, you can learn more from the people of Taylor Manor, and then develop your own friends!" Sheffield earnestly advised, "If you can take some of your old friends with you after you have established yourself, I will not interfere in this regard!" ”

Sheffield, who had given the work of developing channels in the north to Mike and Charles, and finally pushed out all the work, happily stretched his waist. The living state of this parasite is really good, everything is done by others, and he only needs to give orders to make money, and he is very satisfied with his current life.

"All the plans I'm talking about will start in a year's time, and this year three gentlemen will need to do it, and now my plantation will be practiced by black people, and in the future, it will be applied to others! Now there are less than two months to go before the cotton planting season, and in this time the land of the plantation is cleared, the ravines are filled, and the negroes are loaded and transported out of some rocks and woods, and all five thousand acres of land are turned! Sheffield commanded as he stood and spoke without a backache.

"The three of us will watch the black slaves, Mr. Sheffield can rest assured!" Charles said on behalf of the three.

Unlike previous years, this time the plantation was different from the old Sheffield, when he did not dare to urge the blacks to work a little, because there were many blacks in the small town of Sheffield who could be used as labor. After firing several overseers who whipped blacks for no reason, he finally made the remaining overseers a little more honest, knowing that he was not inferior to black slaves, and that Sheffield was in control of his fate.

Before the cotton planting season began, the progress of the Mexican-American War was frequently reported back to the United States, and unlike last year, the smooth progress of the war attracted the attention of the whole country, not half of the people, half of the people.

In March, the landing of American troops on the beaches of Veracruz began. The Mexican army did not resist, and the American troops landed smoothly without a single casualty. Then, the U.S. forces began to besiege Veracruz. Warships and army artillery carried out shelling of Veracruz for several days in a row. Commander-in-Chief Scott ordered that no living person should be allowed to leave the city until the Mexicans surrendered. Under heavy American artillery fire, the city was severely damaged, and the streets of the city were covered with blood, and the severed limbs and remains of people blown away by enemy shells fell everywhere. The Mexican defenders put up stubborn resistance, and dockers and fishermen also actively participated in the battle, causing the American troops to pay a certain amount of casualties. At the end of the month, the Mexican army stopped resisting under the orders of the commander, and the American army captured the city.

U.S. forces then advanced toward the capital, Mexico City. Mexican President Santo Anna hastily gathered more than 10,000 men to meet the U.S. military in Cerrogodor. In April, the U.S. troops made a surprise attack on the left flank of the Mexican army through the dense forests of the valley, crushing the Mexican army, capturing more than 3,000 people and suffering 500 U.S. casualties.

Sheffield, who was preparing to plant cotton, had an extra pastime every day, that is, to buy newspapers about the war, and never think that he was patriotic, he just cared about the false news reported irresponsibly by some countless reporters in the newspapers, "This war is over, and it is time to prepare for the civil war!" ”
