"It seems that there is something wrong with the timing of your arrival in Europe at this time, and now it is very chaotic here."

When Jeanne and her party came to the concession in the northwest suburbs of Marseille and met the administrator of the concession, the other party's first sentence was very unceremoniously pointed out this problem.

The purpose of Jenny's trip was very secretive, and no one knew what they were going to do when they came to Europe, except for themselves and Zhang Tie, who had given them the mission.

Therefore, the administrators of the concession still thought that Jenny and the others had come to the European continent to do business, or to have fun.

Jenny knew that although the other party said very politely, the starting point was good.

So, she wasn't angry.

"We're not here to play, but we have a secret mission to carry out, and now we need some intelligence support, I hope you can give us some help."

Jenny gave a hint of what they were here for.

When Jenny said that they were here to carry out some tasks, the magistrate of the concession looked a little better.

"Oh, I see. I thought that at this time, someone from the imperial side would come to Europe to do trade. The administrator nodded at Jenny, he didn't ask about the people and things of the mission, and he was still clear about the confidentiality regulations. I don't know what kind of information do you need? I don't know if Lu Dao can provide you with effective help, after all, our intelligence network in Europe has just been established, and some of the personnel who provide intelligence are not very high-level. ”

Although he did not refuse to provide Jenny with intelligence services, the administrator still took precautions in advance.

After all, what he said was also true.

Don't look at the fact that the concession has already begun to operate and build, but the structure of the intelligence network has only just begun.

A huge intelligence network, to build up, and to obtain some valuable intelligence, this is definitely not something that can be done overnight.

It takes a long time, and patience. And luck is enough.

Jenny was also very understanding.

"I need some information from the Netherlands right now, is the Protestant coalition still in a truce with the church?"

Jenny asked.

After hearing this, the administrator whispered a few words to the secretary beside him.

Then he said to Jenny, "Please wait a moment, and I'll let the secretary go and see if there is any information on this." Jenny nodded, "That's good." ”

While waiting for the other party to look for intelligence documents, Jenny took a look at the environment.

The concession is under construction, so the whole area looks like a huge construction site, with a lot of French laborers working here.

Because there is a lot of labor required here. That's why it attracts a lot of bankrupt French farmers to come here, hoping to find a way to make a living.

The construction of the Song Empire's concession required a lot of labor, so the wages were very fair, and even slightly higher than the local normal price.

At the same time, wages are paid on a daily basis and are never in arrears.

So, the French people who have worked here really like to continue to work here.

In the midst of such a chaotic turmoil in Europe. It's a very lucky thing to be able to find a job at such a reasonable price.

And they worked here in the concession, and they didn't have to worry about being deducted from their wages at all, because they all got their daily wages directly from the hands of the foremen of the Song Empire.

This eliminates the possibility of being detained.

People of the Song Empire. They don't care about the little money, so they don't bother these French laborers in this regard.

Of course, French workers need to strictly follow the rules and do things honestly.

Even so. The French laborers still felt that it was much better to work for the people of the Song Empire than to work for the French nobles.

You know, when they used to do things for the French lords. It happens from time to time that they can't get paid or don't pay at all, and even they have to bring their own food when they do things for the old men.

But on the concession side, they did things for the people of the Song Empire, not to mention their wages, and they also had three meals a day, and each meal had a meat dish, and the portion was full.

Everyone is not a fool, and people still know very well who they are working for.

Therefore, every morning, a large number of French people would gather outside the lease, waiting for the foremen of the Song Empire to select men and start work.

And the best thing about the Song Empire is that their wages are settled every day, and after these laborers settle their wages for the day, they can buy cheap grain and non-staple food in the concession, because the price of goods in the concession is much cheaper than that in the port of Marseille.

And this benefit is only available to the workers who work in the concession, and those who do not work here cannot enjoy this kind of preferential treatment, which can be regarded as an agreement between the concession and the French government.

At the same time, the use of such means also increases the attractiveness of doing things in the concession.

It is precisely because of this advantage that it has become the preferred choice of those French people around Marseille to do things in the concession.

On the concession side, some of the workers who were originally working in the port of Marseille were attracted to it.

Besides, you don't need any skills to do things here in the concession, as long as you have the strength to apply.

Construction sites are basically all labor.

However, because the construction of the concession side has not yet been carried out, and some buildings have not been completed, some administrative affairs on the concession side are carried out in tents.

There's no way around it, because there are still some things to deal with.

It is important to know that since the signing of an agreement with France and the determination of the concession, the concession on the French side began to do commercial things in foreign trade of goods.

These business matters need an office space to handle.

Under limited conditions, everyone will be able to do it at once.

Anyway, the construction of the concession is already underway, and everyone will be able to move into the new office space in another year. Some of the current difficulties are only temporary.

Jenny stepped out of the tent and observed the construction outside the concession.

From the faces of these French people working in the concession, Jeanne found that they were all red and red, and they did not have the green color that Europeans often had. and malnutrition.

This surprised Jenny.

Jenny has lived on the European continent for many years, and it can be said that her life more than ten years ago was spent on the European road.

And, because of her previous professional relationship, she has been to many European countries, so she knows the customs of the European continent very well.

Especially the living conditions of the people on the European continent, she knows very well.

She had the impression that the people on the European continent were basically malnourished.

Although they look like they're big and big, that's because they're born with genes. It's not that they eat well to grow like this.

However, on the side of the concession, she saw a different situation.

Don't...... The people of France, are they living so well?

It's all so red-faced.

Jenny was secretly amazed in her heart.

"Head, what are you looking at here alone?"

A tall, bald head, almost over two meters tall, came up behind Jenny and asked.

This big bald head, like Jenny, is also from the European continent.

The guy's name is Ruth, and he's Swiss.

He was on his way to the American continent with a French merchant ship. A man who went to the Song Empire in search of a new life.

In the Song Empire, he met a missionary and was impressed by the miracles they had shown.

And when he prayed to 'God' that his starving daughter would go to heaven. The deity enshrined in the sect actually 'resurrected' his daughter.

Although he has no soul and only resurrected his body, this shock to Ruth is also very great.

Even his outlook on life has been turned upside down.

From that time on. He decided to become a fanatic follower of the gods to whom the sect was enshrined.

The reason is very simple, only the fanatical believer can gain the favor of the gods, and then his daughter can find her soul.

Ruth was originally a blacksmith. He has a lot of strength.

However, he was very good at eating, and the money he earned was not enough for him to feed himself.

And because of the oppression of the lords and nobles of the European continent, he couldn't even support his family.

It is precisely because of this reason that his cute little daughter, who is only four years old, was starved to death.

That's why he decided to leave Europe and go to the Americas to see if he could find something to do.

But no one knows that Ruth is actually a natural warrior.

He had a talent for killing, but he had never found himself to have such a talent.

He is very bold, and his mind is very calm, and he has a clear head.

Therefore, his special was soon discovered by the special observers in the sect, and began to cultivate him specially.

And during the training period, he really lived up to expectations, and the things he learned were quickly able to be integrated, and he could draw inferences from one another.

It's just that because he is too gentle by nature, he can't be a leader.

That's his only drawback.

Of course, now that he has become a fanatical believer in the sect, he can burst out with great potential for his daughter to regain her former soul.

It is precisely because of this reason that he was selected as one of the elite candidates who came to Europe.

Because there are many gods enshrined in the sect, such as carpenters and gods of various professions, it is inevitable that Ruth will choose a god to serve as the main god he serves.

Ruth, on the other hand, chose the god of war.

This is different from Jenny, who chose the goddess of hell.

In the sect, although everyone is a member of the same religion, the main god that everyone worships is different.

That's pretty special.

However, although everyone has chosen a main god to serve, in addition to the main god, there is also a supreme god, and they do not have to choose to serve to death.

And this supreme god is His Royal Highness himself who has not yet awakened the Godhead, but has already lived in the world.

I have to say that Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhang Tie are very nondescript to come up with this interception.

I don't know how many things they put together to make it like this.

But you have to admit that it is such a nondescript interception, but it has achieved a lot of results.

As long as it is given a stable period of development, it is not a very troublesome thing for the Sect to rise and explode on the American continent.

Jenny and Ruth trained together when they were in the Americas.

It's just that Jenny's training program is different from Ruth's.

Ruth was trained in fighting and killing, while Jenny was trained in the knowledge of the gods.

After all, Jenny was originally an assassin trained by the Inquisition, and she was so proficient in the art of killing people that even Ruth's genius could not compare to her.

So, she doesn't have to be trained in this area at all.

However, she and he were trained in the same camp, so they were familiar with each other.

Ruth was thirty-seven or eighteen years old.

And nineteen-year-old Jenny, in Ruth's opinion, is like a daughter.

"Did you notice that the faces of the people who work here don't seem to have so much green, and their faces seem to be full of hope and hope for their future life." Jenny said, pointing to the workers who were constantly coming and going.

Ruth looked in the direction of Jenny's finger, and then looked at it carefully, and felt very surprised.

Ruth, like Jenny, was still living in Europe last spring.

Therefore, he knows very well what the living standards of the people in Europe are like.

Because he is different from Jenny, he is a thorough little person at the bottom, so he has a very clear understanding of the lives of the people at the bottom.

"Yes, everyone's faces are flushed, as if life is very good."

Ruth sighed.

"Let's go and ask, I think there should be something to do with the concession."

Jenny's senses were very sensitive, and she immediately recognized the most important part of the change that was directly related to this change.

"Isn't that a good thing, they've already gone to get us the intelligence documents we need, and if they can't find us when they come back, it would be rude."

Ruth doesn't look like he looks five big and three thick, in fact, his heart is very delicate.

Jenny was very unimpressed by this, she said to Ruth: "It doesn't matter, we just need to find someone to ask, it won't take long, and I also want to know what the Empire is for setting up concessions in Europe." Maybe we can find a reason, but we can only find it ourselves. ”

Ruth pursed his lips when he heard this.

He thinks that Jenny's curiosity is too strong, and what does the empire have to do with the establishment of concessions in Europe.

Moreover, there are too many explorations, and it is not good for me. (To be continued......)
