Chapter Errors/Click here to report

In the 17th century, the climate of the Xiaoice River made the whole world unspared, plunged into a great famine that lasted for a century. As with the Ming Empire in the East, there was a severe upheaval in European societies.

Whether it was the Thirty Years' War of Religion, the Civil War between the English Parliament and the King, the Portuguese War of Independence, or the Anglo-French-Dussi Wars, the Grim Reaper was the Grim Reaper. The pressure of survival led the people to a desperate search, and the colonization and the introduction of new products entered a more hungry state. The Enlightenment began to seek a way out of the social religion and political privileges, and the transformation of modern political civilization also began to germinate in this century.

Countless bankrupts, poor peasants, or criminals are looking for a way out and relief from their lives. They were able to sign a contract just to get a chance to survive.

They wander blankly on the docks of depressed cities or filthy cities, with empty stomachs, picking at long-standing scars, looking around, waiting for a handout or a direction from a kind old man.

……

……

On one side are snow-white canvas tents painted with red crosses, and on the other are low-slung wooden huts, separated by a fence that separates the two distinct styles of accommodation, with only a narrow wooden gate in between.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Ground Garrison who had followed the previous convoy were all wearing masks, with only a pair of indifferent eyes under their helmets, vigilantly guarding around the dividing line between the camp and the quarantine area, their flintlock rifles and bayonets glistening in the sun.

To the east of the tent area, bounded by a certain path further outer, there were also a dozen Portuguese soldiers in armor and helmets, as if an invisible barrier prevented them from entering the tent area to the west.

This is the American Concession in Terceira Herogra, Azores, and the quarantine process for the ragged European refugees to Manhattan is still underway.

Food was cooked in a dozen large cauldrons in the wooden shed area, and a long table was piled with bread. The wafting aroma puffed up the noses of people throughout the camp and beyond, both men and women, clutching their bellies in anticipation of the upcoming lunch.

Under the leadership of Portuguese and Dutch officials or businessmen, the number of European refugees waiting for health quarantine in the concession is increasing day by day, and the European refugees who have passed the health quarantine have been given some clothes free of charge and allowed to live temporarily in the wooden shed area to wait for the final immigration review and screening. And many more European refugees are huddled in quarantine areas lined with snow-white and red cross tents, waiting to undergo what they think is a bit of an unthinkable medical check-up.

"Oh no! Sir, she has been in good health before, please! ”

In front of one of the largest sanitary tents, a middle-aged couple dressed in tattered clothes were blocked at the door by two soldiers of the land garrison with guns, the wife weakly clutched her husband's shoulders, her face was pale, and her body was about to collapse, while her husband was begging for the soldier in front of him who was wearing a mask and could not see clearly.

Behind the soldiers, Zhou Kemin and Lao Zhao, the ship doctor, stood side by side, with different expressions.

"The woman was diagnosed with advanced gonorrhoea, which has induced pleurisy and will not live for many days." The ship's doctor Lao Zhao's expression was a little indifferent, maybe he had seen too much in the slums of the Netherlands and Lisbon, "It should be to survive, my wife is outside." Just in case, neither husband and wife could enter the concession camp. ”

"Hey, leave it to the Portuguese to deal with......" Zhou Kemin's face turned a lot paler, and the young Maritime Guard officer seemed to feel that he was cruel.

Waving from afar, several Portuguese soldiers waiting outside the tent area ran over and dragged the eliminated English refugee couple away like wolves. The queue for health quarantine let out a burst of muttering, and many people showed expressions of panic and sadness.

In the wooden shed area, a long table was placed in the center of the open space, and Shi Wenbo and others sat side by side behind the wooden table, forming several temporary office positions, and in front of them was a long queue.

"Well, a mason? The whole family is in good health...... Very well, congratulations to you, Mr. Rudolph, you and your family will have a new and beautiful life in a beautiful country! Shi Wenbo spat out a puff of cigarette, and the red badge in his hand was firmly stamped on the immigration procedures. In front of them, the Germanic family who had passed the last audit wept with joy.

"Next!" Several European sailors of the fleet, who served as translators and assistants, were responsible for maintaining order.

A thin and small European girl came over, and instead of choosing to sit down, she blushed and carefully lowered her head, her dirty blonde hair hanging down on her chest, and seemed to be very shy, judging by her age, she looked like she was at most 16 or 7 years old.

"Single one? Well, it doesn't matter, where are the people? What is it called? Shi Wenbo squinted his eyes, looked up and down at the little sheep in front of him, almost like a little sheep falling into a muddy pond, and slowly showed a kind smile.

"Sir, her name is Igrena, and she's a Swede." Of the assistants, Andrew the former acting boatswain of the Santa Maria and now the captain of the Eden, was the only interpreter who understood the girl's language.

Swede? Sure enough, there is a place for beautiful women! No matter how you look at it, whether it is body or appearance, it is the best of the flower season! Swenbo smiled more meaningfully.

"Well, maybe I just need a personal assistant to do things at the Consulate General......" Shi Wenbo didn't pay any attention to Yang Wenwen, who was also sitting next to him. The fashionista, who had been listless since the morning, didn't seem to have any intention of cooperating with Swenbo in the final review of immigration.

"How did she get here alone?"

What is unusual is that Yang Wenwen suddenly opened her mouth at this time, Shi Wenbo was stunned, and his face became bitter.

The girl muttered a few words nervously, and the translation came to her: "Her family died in the plague, she was smuggled to Rotterdam by human traffickers, her father used to be a tailor, she can also do a little." ”

"Mr. Shi? Do you need a cook or a personal tailor? I don't think I need to, right? Yang Wenwen raised her hand, and a line of words appeared on a blank immigration procedure, and then stamped it with a chirp, "Welcome, little sister Igrena, you can get on the boat, you can live happily." ”

"Hey! Big sister, there's no need for this, right?! Swenbo almost jumped.

"Shi Wenbo, don't forget, this is a selection of immigrants, whether male or female, all priority is given to professional skills, not to choose a little lover for you!" Yang Wenwen smiled and nodded at the shy Swedish beauty, without even looking at Shi Wenbo.

"Good! I surrender, but I declare that I do need several employees of the Consulate General! Svenbo spread his hands and said he was innocent.

"No problem, I'll look for you among more mature and stable people...... However, hasn't the daughter of the Marquis de Santa Cruz of Spain now moved to your consulate general? Poor Anna, I am still ...... by you" Yang Wenwen frowned, her face full of disdain.

"I have something to deal with first, and the eldest sister will trouble you here." As soon as Shi Wenbo saw that the tone of his words was wrong, Ren Changle next to him turned his head and hurriedly got up and left in a hurry.

"What marquis's daughter? How did he go, there are so many things today! Ren Changle covered the seal in his hand and asked back by the way.

"I don't know, I guess I'm weak and urgent to urinate in the past few days?" Yang Wenwen smiled and bent her eyebrows, her expression returning to normal.

Throughout the day, the first batch of 300 or so places has been reviewed, and hundreds of European refugees with sad faces are still waiting in the wooden shed area.

In the dock area, seven sailboats belonging to the "American Chinese American Chamber of Commerce" are nervously doing the final loading work, and a large number of packing materials are moved to the side of the ship under the towing and carrying of the dock laborers, and then hoisted into the cabin by human ropes.

Adelaide is dressed in a clean, modern trench coat, but underneath is a traditional 17th-century shirt and waistcoat, and even a captain's hat, which is comical no matter how you look at it. In front of him, a middle-aged woman was holding a one- or two-year-old girl in her arms, followed by three slightly older boys and girls.

"Dear Eve, we can leave tomorrow, and you will be staying in the captain's room today, the refugee camp there is terrible!" Adelaide held a cigarette and was in high spirits in front of his wife and family, "You are different from those dirt buns, so don't live with them." ”

"However, the neighbors say that the New World is full of barbarians, and it is very scary!" Mrs. Adelaide nervously hugged her youngest daughter in her arms, and leaned the other three children closer to the two, "Are you sure we want the whole family to come over?" ”

"Those mouthy beggars of Pwsmouth! Do you think your husband is playing a joke on you? Rest assured, we will live in a neighborhood of the best people! Adelaide laughed, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and kindly touched the second daughter who was leaning against her, "For only 240 pounds, the most beautiful house, and the garden and lawn, in the future the children can go to the most civilized school in the world, and my lovely Elizabeth will become a princess in the future!" ”

"£240?! Adelaide, you're crazy! Have you all been pirates all year long?! Mrs. Adelaide's face turned white with fright, and she looked around in horror, lest a group of dock guards suddenly appear and hang the whole family.

"Don't be nervous, my lady, riches are at your fingertips! It's all small money. And you, as my family, will be able to get a green card soon! Seeing his wife's fuss, Adelaide's heart swelled with satisfaction and pride.

"God, Adelaide, you should know how to be frugal! Well, I decided to listen to my aunt, and I will take care of the family's money in the future, and the children are counting on it! Mrs. Adelaide quickly adjusted her feelings, looked at her great husband with a pleasant face, and smiled very sweetly.

The same thing happened to almost every crew member who picked up his wife and children from his hometown, but without exception, they were quickly stripped of every coin by their wife within a day or two.

……

In a VIP cabin on the Mayflower, Su Zining was making the final communication with Migu, trying to redeem the other party's obstinacy. Beside him, Zhu Xiaoli and Yuan Xinyi are also persuading each other.

"Hehe, don't worry, I don't like those things very much, you can choose whatever you want. I'd better stay here and watch my family! Migu, who was in a trench coat and sunglasses, easily exhaled smoke rings, as if he didn't feel anything wrong with his plans.

Looking at the other two companions, Su Zining had no choice but to nod slightly: "Okay, you can pick a few suitable ones from the first batch of unsuccessful immigrants to bring with you, and if there is anything else, you can ask Governor Garcia for help." If we go back this time, I'm afraid you'll be alone in Europe for months. ”

"I'll accompany him!"

Suddenly, the door opened, and I saw Shi Wenbo in a suit and leather shoes walking in, with a harmless smile on his face.

"You two!" Zhu Xiaoli slapped the table and stood up, as if he couldn't get used to the unsociable attitude of the two of them suddenly at this time.

"I figured it out, Miku and I really don't need to be involved in all the in the Manhattan community, no matter what the outcome is, it doesn't really affect what we're going to do, right? Europe needs us to maintain our continued influence, and Miku needs someone who can pretend to be in front of you at a critical moment. Swain made a strange face at Migu, then easily removed the wine from the rack and poured himself a full glass.

Quietly looking at the two companions with different personalities but extremely compatible, Su Zining could only nod. Yuan Xinyi, who was on the side, looked at the few young people in the room silently with a worried face.
