Chapter 333 Confusion and Ireland
ps: The end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscription
While our King enjoys family reunions, so head down the road of pain and regret.
In Bristol Port, on the busy dock, there are rchant ships full of goods moored, and the dock workers are sweating and panting to carry the goods.
The weather in early spring was still a bit cold, but the sea breeze was soft and tinged with warmth, so most of the workers took off their shirts and started working naked.
Of course, part of the reason is that there is salt in the sea breeze, and if you wear it for a day, it will be very uncomfortable.
The supervisor on the side watched with a full face, holding a long whip in his hand, and staring at it with wide eyes.
After looking at the unloading rchant ships and berths, he arrived at other rchant ships one after another, especially a rchant ship with which he had a good relationship, he beca anxious, and then touched it with his hand. With the shilling in his pocket, after feeling the charm of money, he felt a little out of breath and began to rush.
"Hurry up, you naked ghosts, ti is running out!"
The overseer looked at the hard workers passing by one by one. Although they were fast one by one, they still couldn't satisfy him. The whip in his hand ca into contact with the ground fiercely and made a terrifying sound.
"Papa Papa—"
"Work more quickly, poor ghosts, don't let see soone being lazy, or you will look better!"
His scolding, coupled with the threat of the whip, made these frail workers dare not speak out, and could only speed up their pace silently to carry the goods.
Seeing that the pace of the workers had accelerated significantly, the overseer with a swollen face nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, a rchant ship finished unloading. Just when the supervisor thought he could make room for the rchant ship behind, a large cargo ship suddenly jumped in and took the place of the rchant ship behind.
Seeing this, the overseer's face changed. This is a rchant ship belonging to the baron's family. Soone dares to grab the position. Isn't this courting death?
Just as he was muttering in his heart, and was about to slow down his n's movents and give it so color, he suddenly saw the flag flying on the ship—a beautiful flower.
If there is anything peculiar about it, then it has two colors of red and white, and the white is on top of the red, which looks extraordinarily beautiful.
Such an appearance made the overseer's heart tremble a little, and his legs trembled.
Having been in the port of Bristol for so many years, he didn't know that this was a rchant ship of the royal family, the largest nobleman in England.
Killing myself is as simple as killing an ant. I am really tired of trying to trouble them.
The supervisor patted himself on the forehead, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Suddenly I felt lucky again, fortunately I didn't take any action.
After the cargo ship slowly moored, the supervisor imdiately followed the tax officer at the pier and boarded the cargo ship.
Although it is a ship belonging to the royal family, it still needs to pay taxes, which was ordered by His Majesty the King himself.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a beard and wearing the captain's clothes ca over and had a cordial conversation with the tax officer.
At this ti, several assistants behind the tax official walked into the cabin and started the inspection.
The supervisor stood aside, not interested in these pleasantries, thinking about his own thoughts silently.
After the assistant walked out of the cabin, the supervisor cheered up, and his own was going to play.
"Your Excellency, you have one hundred barrels of Irish whiskey and about five thousand bushels (about 181 tons) of wheat. You need to pay one hundred pounds, thirteen shillings and six pence!"
The tax officer with a big belly, holding a pen, calculated with his assistants for a while, and then said to the long-awaited captain.
The captain didn’t care at all, and waved his hand. The sailor on the side imdiately brought a small box, opened it, and saw that the gold and silver coins were piled up shiningly, full of temptation.
"This is my tax, please click!"
The captain personally took out one hundred gold coins, thirteen large silver coins, and six small silver coins from the small box, put them in a sack, and sent them to the tax official.
The tax officer had a happy smile on his face, and said a few words with the captain with a smile, then pointed to the overseer with a swollen face and said:
"This is the supervisor of this dock, you can find him."
Watching the tax officer introduce himself, the supervisor imdiately bent over, with a very friendly tone:
"Your Excellency, Captain, if you move the cargo, I will help you to supervise it carefully. I am sure no one is lazy!"
"Very good, Mr. Overseer, this is your reward!"
As he spoke, His Excellency the Captain took out a money bag and handed it to him, with a satisfied smile on the supervisor's face.
An hour later, with the help of a hundred people, one hundred barrels of whiskey and five thousand bushels of wheat were brought down.
Then, the overseer with a swollen face waited for a long ti, but he didn't wait for the notice of delivery, which made him feel very strange.
The rchant ship has been moored for several days, but has not seen the cargo being moved. The supervisor is very curious.
On February 19th, about two hundred people with their families ca to the pier and boarded the long-awaited cargo ship.
As the forr director of Southampton City Engineering and Construction Departnt, Leonard Colon can be considered to have a good life, with sons and daughters, so compared to ordinary English people, he is also considered fat.
But just a while ago. He has nothing.
Because he sheltered several missionaries from Ro, his ho was ransacked.
By the way, bring your family and start farming in Ireland.
When it cos to his current mood, he only has one regret to describe, and he shouldn't involve his family.
Holding his six-year-old son with his left hand and saluting with his right hand, Leonard endured physical fatigue and boarded the large cargo ship in front of him step by step.
"Anna, I'm sorry for all this!" Looking back at the pier, n with their families walked behind him, with tired and bitter eyes, and boarded the cargo ship step by step.
He is also reluctant to part with his hotown, leaving England and heading to a strange place—Ireland.
Regarding the future of his family, Leonard was full of worries, and he said to his wife who was holding his little daughter with so guilt.
"Don't tell this, Leonard, you are my husband, and I support your choice!"
As he spoke, his wife shook her head with a pious look on her face.
"Besides, this is also for the glory of our Lord, and this is also our duty!"
Two people can beco husband and wife, and their beliefs are naturally the sa.
"Let's go! Anna, let's welco the next future!"
Looking at the blue ocean in the distance and the seagulls flying, he said firmly to his wife.
