After nearly a month of sailing, the rangers rode the wind and waves and carried Han Xing to London, the capital of the British Empire. For Han Xing, there is a feeling of revisiting the old place.

The familiar coastline, covered in clouds and fog in the distance, is like a lighthouse shrouded in a veil of mystery, even though it is two different worlds, but London is still the same. Looking at London shrouded in the white fog of the early morning in the distance, a wave of melancholy about revisiting the old place, things and people, surged into Han Xing's heart in an instant.

London is still the same London, but the people I am familiar with are no longer there~ Even if there is Napoleon in this world, it is not my own mentor and friend who can be a confidant~

This sense of loneliness may be difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, so I have to make a metaphor. That's what I worked so hard to build, but in the blink of an eye, it became a castle in the sky. Maybe Napoleon's appearance will not change, but he will not know Han Xing anymore, as if the memory of Han Xing has been completely erased. Of course, the fact should be that in this world, Han Xing has never appeared, so naturally there is no talk of erasing or erasing~

At this time, it was already early autumn, and from the midsummer of June into the [Pirates of the Caribbean] world, the preparation for this trip was carried out for nearly a month, and it was nearly a month to sail back to Europe from the Americas, so it is now the golden autumn September~

Taking advantage of the cover of clouds and mist, Han Xing took out the remaining ships in the fleet, (shēn) as the realm lord, when sailing, he could only use one ship, so that the target was small, and he would not be slowed down by slow heavy ships, right?

Of course, the main purpose of taking out the fleet is to cover yourself, so as not to make others suspicious~ Otherwise, it's like a small ship with a load of more than ten tons, but it unloads hundreds of tons of cargo, isn't it too magical? With the fleet, Han Xing can deduce that his cargo is stored on other ships, or that the fleet is arriving one after another~

It wasn't until nine or ten o'clock in the morning that the clouds cleared, and Han Xing sailed into the city of London, when the weather was still a little hot (rè), and there were merchant ships moored in the Thames harbor under the blue sea and blue sky. Most of the two-masted and three-masted merchant ships are berthed in the wharf, so that big guys such as Galen, Frut, and Dutch merchant ships can only anchor in the deep-water port outside~

Fortunately, most of the ships in Han Xing's fleet had a shallow draft, so they could sail into the inland ports. Relying on his generous shot and decent dress, Han Xing was naturally regarded as a big money, especially after he once again brought out the golden sign of Lord Earl (because he was afraid of provoking people's eyes, but he didn't dare to call himself a duke~), Han Xing got VIP (VIP, dignitary. English is: veryimportantperson, literal translation is very important person) level treatment.

What's more, the goods brought out of his ship are all high-class goods from the American colonies, even if it is the British Empire, the "overlord of the sea" known for its navigation, the cargo ships from the overseas colonies are rare, and the daily entry into the port is only in the single digits! After all, flying across the sea is not only time-consuming, laborious, but also dangerous, but ordinary merchants do not do long-distance trading, and only a fleet can engage in such business.

In this era, the Caribbean was a luxury that only the rich and noble could enjoy. Coffee, cocoa, tobacco, and even cane sugar are expensive, especially coffee and tobacco, which have addictive effects, which are really uncomfortable if you don't touch them for a day~

(Smokers must have a deep understanding that as soon as they are idle, they will take out their cigarettes and light a fire if they are used to it.) Then I looked confused (bī), wow, don't I want to quit smoking? Why did I order it again? Wife, listen to my explanation~ Which bastard stuffed the cigarette into my hand)

(╥_╥)

In the same way, I don't know how many aristocratic lords, rich businessmen are waiting for the arrival of coffee and tobacco~

Therefore, these trade goods of the New World, as long as they are shipped back to Europe, must not be sold, not only do they not worry about selling, but there are also people scrambling to buy them at a high price, which can be said to be a good thing that has no market and is sold out of stock~ Therefore, it is not surprising that the Port Authority will supply Han Xing as a VIP~

For general goods, the port authority naturally disdains to meddle, but for the luxury goods of the New World, the port authority took the initiative to help Han Xing match and attract customers. After all, to give good news to those nobles and rich men who are addicted to cigarettes and coffee, their benefits are naturally indispensable! Perhaps, people have specially greeted them, and as soon as a trading ship from the New World enters the port, they must be notified immediately~

Under the care of the port authority, Han Xing rented a two-storey storefront close to the port, with bright glass windows and neat shelves. Han Xing put all the specialties of the New World in the store, and specially processed them to make ready-made coffee, cocoa, snuff, and cigars, of course, the price is definitely not expensive. In the past few days, Han Xing has already received more than 100,000 pounds, which is simply a soft count~

"You're Captain Segad from the Caribbean?" On this day, when Han Xing was resting in the store, suddenly a young man with flaxen hair walked up with a smile, he was wearing a decent, but slightly conservative black gentleman's suit, and a black wide-brimmed feather hat on his head, came to Han Xing, showed a humble and decent smile, took off his hat and saluted.

"It's the Earl, Count Hanschel Segard!" Han Xing put on an arrogant face and corrected in a contrived tone, with an elegant French accent.

"Yes, yes, Lord Earl~" The young man with flaxen hair and a humble smile nodded repeatedly.

"Earl, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hunter Lenaro, and I am the bookkeeper of Buckingham Palace, and I have come to you on the orders of Butler Vincenzo to negotiate the purchase of Caribbean products!" The young man named Hunter was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Huh? Buckingham Palace? Isn't that where Hansen, the (sāo) man, lived? In other words, next time I will also choose a prince out (shēn), wouldn't that save a lot of trouble? When Han Xing heard Buckingham Palace, he didn't subconsciously think of the British royal family, but remembered Hansen, the "Duke of Buckingham".

"Count Segaard?" Seeing that Han Xing was stunned and didn't speak, the young man named Hunter had no choice but to call out in a low voice. He probably thought that Han Xing felt too honored, so he was stunned for a while, so he opened his mouth to comfort:

"Of course I understand your surprise, Count Segaard! After all, it is an honor for every citizen of the British Empire to serve His Majesty George Augustus, the Prince of Wales, now (shēn) regent of the British Empire~ but you don't need to be too nervous, you are a very easy-going and generous person~"

"The coffee and cocoa in the warehouse of Buckingham Palace are almost exhausted, and the arrival of you and your caravan has solved our urgent need~ However, I still hope to see the real thing, after all, our regent (diàn) has a high level of appreciation for food, and the quality of the ingredients is particularly important~" This Mr. Lenaro immediately made it clear that it was because the inventory of Buckingham Palace was insufficient, and Han Xing's caravan happened to enter the port, so he came to contact.

However, when Han Xing heard his words, he was surprised: "Buckingham Palace, yes, yes, George IV has a bad relationship with his father, and after the regency, he moved out of St. James's Palace and came to Buckingham Palace to stay." But it's only 1804 now~ How did he become a regent? It shouldn't be~"

According to Han Xing's memory, George IV officially became regent in 1810, and it was only ten years later that George III died and he officially ascended the throne. The reason why he remembers it is because George IV is known as the "Whale Prince" plus the "Prince of Sixty Years", of course, even worse than him is the current Prince Charles~

And the last twenty years of this George IV are the best to remember, he has been regent since 1810, ascended the throne as king in 1820, and he hung up in 1830, exactly twenty years, all integer, so it is easy to remember~

"I'm sorry, Count Segaard, I forgot that you were French~" Mr. Hunter Lenaro suddenly apologized.

"No, no, no, Mr. Lenaro, you don't have to apologize, it's also my honor to be able to provide ingredients for His Majesty the Regent (diàn)~" Although Han Xing couldn't figure out why George IV became the regent in advance, if he could take this opportunity to connect with him, it would also be of great benefit to his actions in the Caribbean.

Although Han Xing made up his mind to help Napoleon in France, there is no need to tear his face with Britain in the short term, and the so-called eye medicine is just pretending to be a pirate to rob things and crack down on British maritime trade in the Caribbean~ If Han Xing wants to cut into the main drama (qíng) in the future, he will have to go to Port Royal to walk around, if he can curry favor in front of this George IV, when Beckett takes power, he will not be able to do anything about himself~

"So, can you show me what you have?" The Lenaro bookkeeper asked cautiously.

"Of course, of course!" Han Xing immediately led him to look at the samples stacked on the shelf, and also gave him coffee and cocoa that had already been brewed.

"Well~ very fragrant~ The taste is very pure, as if it has just been picked and there is a unique burnt aroma after roasting~" Mr. Lenaro said after taking a small sip of coffee.

"I heard that there are still fresh (rè) fruits?" After tasting the coffee, cocoa and wine one by one, the Mr. Lenaro asked with great satisfaction, but mysteriously.

"That's right~" Han Xing smiled mysteriously.

You know, in that era when there were no freezers, fruit was the real luxury, and it was difficult to preserve this thing, even if the emperor and the king wanted to eat fresh fruit, it was even more difficult. Even if you pick the fruit from the tree in advance, and wait until you cross the ocean for a month, it will be rotten~

In the end, this Mr. Lenaro returned with a full load, and Han Xing also received thousands of pounds in income~~

However, Han Xing knew that this Mr. Lenaro would come back again, because in the whole city of London, no, in the whole world, only his own family can bring fresh (rè) fruits~

And George IV is a notoriously wide-hearted, fat-bodied, picky eater (tao, first tone. Compound: gluttony, a famous beast in mythology, known for its gluttony)!
