I wanted to explore Rockefeller's reality, but I didn't expect this kid to come up and have a showdown with me directly, this wave of operations was really unexpected by me, did Nima's secretly install a bugging device in my heart? But think about it again, it's too disgusting for a big man to install a bug in my heart and spy on my mind every day, but if it's not, what is he going to do?

Rockefeller told me that the current technicians and workers of the distillery had been summoned by the Duke before leaving, and that the Duke had asked them to take on the role of keeping an eye on me, in addition to actively cooperating with me in the construction of the Rum Distillery, and that I would have to report any disturbances to Sandrow, the commander of the Island Convoy. As to why he was spying on me, the Duke told them that I owed him a great deal of money, and that if there was any crooked thought that the distillery was not running well, he would lose a lot. Of course, it was not for nothing that these people were spying on me, and the Duke promised them an extra sum of money every month in addition to their normal salary.

I don't want to guess what Duke Jackson's real purpose was now, I just want to know why Rockefel took the risk of telling me.

Rockefeller hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "I was born in the Duchy of Victor, my father was one of the cabinet members of the Duchy, and later the British Empire invaded and annexed Victor through war, my father was exiled because he always insisted on seeking the independence of Victor, and the ministers of the empire adopted me to a welfare home in order to show their fake benevolence. So I have a lot of hatred for the British Empire, and I hope that I can save my father and make the Duchy of Victor independent again in the future. ”

Rockefeller's words don't seem to be made up, but I've heard a lot of all kinds of flesh-and-blood stories, and I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false, so I asked Rockefell, "So what is the meaning of your honesty with me?" ”

Rockefeller said: "You are not the original citizens of the British Empire, you were also conquered by aggression, I think you should also be unwilling to be ruled by the invaders, right?" I want to save my father and lead Victor to independence, and it is not enough to rely on my own strength, so I hope you can help me, and in the future, the Principality of Victor will see the light of day, and you will be our most honored friend. ”

I can't bear to hit this kid, I don't mind the rule of the British Empire so much, it's not that I'm willing to be ruled, it's that I never feel like I belong to this world, and since I don't belong here, how can I talk about ruling aggression.

I said to Rockefeller, "If you are willing to trust me, I can find a way to make more money to help you rescue your father, and as for the liberation of Victor, let's talk about it later." I want to ask you, how sure are you about the Golden Islands? ”

Rockefeller said: "Before I came here, I deliberately collected information about the Golden Islands, although there are many pirate gangs, but they are not completely undisciplined, the islands are their base camp, and they also need all kinds of logistics support bases, and the pirates don't want it to be a garbage dump." So, as long as we don't infringe on the core interests of the pirates, we have the opportunity to trade with them, and the potential obstacles on the Empire's side are even greater. ”

I'm still going to let Rockefeller do something else first, trade with pirates, and once I step out, I can't get that foot back.

With the passage of time, the size of the island's administrative and commercial center has gradually expanded, and various living and entertainment venues have gradually become complete, and this large dense forest near the beach has completely changed its appearance.

In addition to the increase in island facilities, the size of the population is also growing, especially those who are depressed in the British Empire itself, and are flocking to Paradise Island in search of new opportunities.

As soon as there are more people, there will be more contradictions, especially the two groups of people who are called old believers and new believers are even more incompatible, attacking and insulting each other for three days.

James decided to build the island's first police station, but the number of police was limited, and there were no prisons and other places to hold people, so when the believers made a fuss, the police had to disperse with guns.

I once asked Rockefeller about Protestantism and the old religion, and Rockefeller told me that in the British Empire, people mainly believe in the bishop of God, and the bishop originally had no distinction between the old and the new, and the understanding of the doctrine of the people was the same, and then because the royal government became more and more powerful, the Holy See gradually became a tool in the hands of the royal government, and more of the brainwashing work to help the empire in the newly conquered colonies, and the royal family and the government also became more and more blatantly meddled in the affairs of the Holy See, which caused the dissatisfaction of some bishops. They reinterpreted the doctrine that the Holy See should not serve politics, but should have its own independent operation and mission, and they believed that the original Divine Bishop had violated the will of the Holy See, and they wanted to establish a new Divine Bishop to re-establish the authority of the Holy See.

But the Old Christians were supported by the royal government, and many of the nobles themselves belonged to the Old Church, so the Protestants were naturally ostracized and suppressed, and even thrown into prison.

But fortunately, no matter how much the two groups of people fought upside down, it was also in the administrative business district, and they were still a lot away from my winery, so I ended up quiet.

With the birth of the first batch of rum samples at the distillery, the Rockefeller kid became more and more anxious to ask me to confirm the matter of contacting the Golden Islands as soon as possible, and I naturally couldn't let go easily, just told him to wait for the distillery to achieve mass production, and then make plans.

The taste of rum made from wine grapes is truly amazing, and although I don't drink alcohol, after two sips, I felt that it was indeed fragrant, and it smelled a hundred times stronger than the wine sold in the taverns on the island.

With the first batch of rum, Long Xin'er proposed to hold a banquet in the name of the distillery, inviting cabinet members and other important people on the island to participate, so that we could sell more wine in the future.

I also had the heart to hold a banquet, Big Bear, Uncle Song, they all called over to have a good gathering, and by the way, it can also ease my relationship with a few girls, as for the island cabinet members and others, I really didn't want to invite, and I didn't plan to invite, but Long Xin'er reminded me that if our winery wants to have a prosperous business, the help of these people is indispensable, if we offend them, our wine can only be drunk by ourselves every day, I think it's right, even if I don't expect them to help me later, I can also take this opportunity, Let all the gods and ghosts make a bright appearance, maybe they can show their original form after three cups and two stomachs.

After receiving my invitation, the invitees were very face-saving, and they said that they would definitely go, but the two daughters of Surin insisted on refusing to go to the appointment, they said that they never drank alcohol, and they didn't want to miss anything because of alcohol, in short, they didn't come, I knew that this was clearly something to say, and they couldn't force it, so they had to find a chance to explain in the future.

The banquet soon came as scheduled, and the winery, which was not very lively, suddenly became more crowded, James, Sandro and others all dressed up and brought gifts to congratulate, and the polite words were naturally not enough, and the whole winery was a happy and peaceful scene.

Uncle Song and they also arrived on time, but the girls stayed in the camp to accompany the two daughters of Su Lin, the big bear pulled me aside, quietly took out a potato from his pocket and handed it to me, and then said mysteriously: "Miss Lin planted it with her own hands, picked it with her own hands, cleaned it up with her own hands, and let me bring it to you." ”

I looked at the big bear, this grandson had a hippie smile, I don't know if he was teasing me, or if Lin Ruyi was really like this, anyway, it must be the fruit of the Lin family's seeds, I was somewhat happy.

The feast began in harmony, the aroma of rum smeaded the crowd, and the first batch of wine was quickly half swept away by the staggered cups, while a group of uninvited guests crept into the island by the hazy moonlight.
