Chapter 628: Thanksgiving is coming

The Louis comptoir was the most powerful firm in Jamestown, dealing in furs, tobacco, ironware, grain purchases, brown sugar, liquor sales, mineral trading, and slave trade.

It was a general trading house, involved in all kinds of trade, as long as they made money, they did anything, and their strategy was to raise the purchase price of the natives, and for sales, they dumped a lot of goods, such as brandy, such as ironware, etc.

Therefore, their trade relations with the natives were relatively much stronger than those of other trading houses, even those of France.

Some tribal natives were tempted by the operation of the Louis Firm, and traded with them by name, which made other firms very annoyed and blushing, and Lakecliffe also controlled a British firm in Jamestown, and the more prosperous the Louis Firm, the more it squeezed out the space for the survival and profits of other firms, and naturally harmed Lakecliffe's interests.

In particular, in the case of gold, to make the natives aware of the value of gold was, in Raycliffe's view, an unforgivable folly!

And, of course, there are the damned Spaniard-issued gold pesos!

In the past, even deceived and deceived people only had to pay a small price to get gold from the natives.

It is said that the earliest pioneers could exchange a small barrel of rum for the same weight of gold!

It was a nostalgic and longing time!

But now, these natives have become much smarter, and they don't even trade gold for it, they cover it tightly, which makes everyone uncomfortable.

Although the value was revealed, the value of the goods themselves of the white people was extremely low, and they made a lot of money when they traded in gold.

As a result, the colonists of Jamestown tore off their camouflage and robbed them openly. This is a profitable, no-capital business!

And Reycliffe took advantage of this time Walker's team to suffer heavy losses, the first stab at the Louis Comptoir, the second stab at the indigenous tribes! It also took the opportunity to break the peace agreement that had just been reached.

As for Walker and the dozens of people who died, don't look at what Recliffe said as if it was serious, in fact, this was just a gesture of his.

In that war with the natives, a few hundred people must die? If dozens of people die, they will step down, and the position of the governor is too child's play, and there are still people above him Raycliffe! It's related!

Tonight is a good night.

At the same time, he just got a piece of news that excites him!

Recliffe was looking at the list, and Captain Walker, who had been depressed during the day, was also standing next to him with a smile on his face.

Recliffe put down the list satisfied.

"How did the other comptoirs react?"

Walker said: "Our English comptoirs must be happy to see Louis comptoirs being investigated, and several other French comptoirs protested against us, and I explained to them according to the order of His Excellency the Governor, and took out the confession of the manager of Louis comptoirs, so they did not continue to say anything, however, I found that they also moved, they should be afraid, and wanted to transfer some assets in advance." ”

"Your Excellency, you say, do you want to arrest them all, I promise they won't take a peso with you!"

Reycliffe laughed: "Captain Walker has gained a lot this time!" ”

Walker smiled awkwardly.

Raycliffe didn't ask, as long as he took the big head, he didn't mind letting Walker and the others follow to make a fortune, otherwise the team would be difficult to bring, this is not a native after all.

"Don't touch them for the time being, you send out the invitations, and the governor himself will go and explain to them, you have to appease them, raise them first, and then eat them slowly when they get fat, and if they are all scared away, who will we go to collect taxes?" Do you understand? ”

Walker sneered: "Your Excellency the Governor is wise! ”

Recliffe smiled proudly: "Go back and fuck the boys hard, I got the news, Princess Maria has set off from Plymouth, and there are some nobles with her, they are going to the New World for a vacation, by the way, Plymouth doesn't have a new festival, what is it called?" ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's called Thanksgiving, and they've had four new festivals, and we have people in Jamestown who have celebrated it."

Recliffe nodded, "Oh, yes, Thanksgiving, it's a great name, thank God for letting us get this treasure!" Princess Mary and they will come before Thanksgiving, and it is only a week or more than a week away, don't have a big conflict with them on the indigenous side for the time being, govern the territory, welcome these nobles, Walker, do a good job, Princess Maria's father is a duke, the duke is happy, and your major may be promoted soon! ”

Walker smiled: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I will do my best, I heard that Princess Mary is the most beautiful beauty in London and the fiancée of the Governor, right?" ”

Rycliffe smirked.

With a wave of his hand, Walker stepped back.

Note: Each daughter of a duke, marquis, or earl of England can also be called "Lady" (lady/lady, an honorific title for a noble woman), which can be given with "Lady+ first name + surname", such as LadyHele

For ease of reading, this article will be replaced by a princess.

Plymouth is now part of the Massachusetts state of the United States, bordered by New York to the west, Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

The Mayflower landed in Plymouth in 1620 and established the colony of Plymouth there, where the first Thanksgiving was held on the fourth Thursday of November 1621, and the Thanksgiving Day spread throughout the American colonies.

Philip was brought in.

Reycliffe's good mood disappeared at once, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"What's going on?"

Philip's tears flowed down his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the barbarian natives have killed two of the guards and cut out my nose."

"Is it Opekan?"

Philip shook his head.

"No, Opekan still wants to sign a peace treaty with us, it's the Golden Swallow of the Tao tribe! It was a murderous indigenous woman, with more than a dozen teenagers, all armed with a very advanced musket, and opened fire when she saw us! The golden swallow said, as long as you see us whites, you will fire! ”

Recliffe snorted.

When Walker was defeated, he had already said carefully that the Tao tribe should only have more than a dozen muskets, even if it was more advanced, it was nothing, he was hesitating to attack with all his strength, and said goodbye to this bedbug-like Tao tribe in one go.

But, like Walker, he was worried about the mysterious sun god Yellow Emperor, especially the powerful grenade in his hand and the kind of musket that could fire grenades, and he didn't know what hole cards this mysterious guy had in his hands.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I have also heard a piece of news, the natives are saying that tomorrow the sun god will come to the Wolf Valley again, and now the natives have passed overnight...... I think we should send more musketeers over and ...... tomorrow."

Spinach: It seems that Thanksgiving has just passed two or three days, and the release is late, so it's painful not to save the manuscript! At the end of the month, the work is particularly busy, and it is nine o'clock when I go home from overtime, and I am in a hurry to code words, alas!
