Chapter 183 (2/2)

Stone bear is more concerned about the things that major hank brought, and the most important of them are two alchemists and indentured slaves.

Ironically, major Hank's two alchemist indentured slaves from Jamestown came from exactly the opposite of Jean Agust and brother Gail.

The two alchemists brought by major hank were French and English. The fate of the Englishman Jack Williams is similar to that of Jean Agust. This guy also wants to go to the new world to make a fortune, but because he can't afford the expensive tickets, he signed a ”voluntary contract” with an English nobleman who owns a ship and then came to the new world by boat.

But Jack Williams has outstanding talent in machinery. In the past few years when he worked for the noble, he invented a lot of gadgets, which made the noble make a lot of money.

As a result, when the contract expired, the nobleman immediately turned away, and the nobleman would not terminate the contract with Jack Williams.

But Jack is also a tough guy. If you don't terminate the contract for me, I won't work for you.

Tough Jack said that he would not do it if he didn't do it, so he stood up with the noble. But he is just a white slave. How can he be a famous nobleman? Even if the noble was just a little Baron, Jack could not resist.

The nobleman was not interested in Jack's attitude, so he ordered to break the guy's legs and throw them into Jamestown's slave market.

It happened that major hank was taking in the alchemist. Although Jack Williams had broken his legs, he was still famous. So major hank bought Jack's contract from the nobleman for five pounds, and took Jack from Jamestown to the high tree tribe.

It has to be said that the fate of Jack Williams is similar to that of Jean Agust, but this guy is obviously more unlucky than Agust. At least Agust has not been broken, but Jack has been broken.

The other alchemist was a Frenchman named David Addison. This guy was born in a declining aristocratic family in France, but he loved alchemy since he was a child. At the same time, he was determined to carry forward his family and restore the family's past glory with his alchemy.

So young and light David took a boat to the new world and settled in Quebec, New France.

As a result, the seven-year war broke out. Five years ago, in 1759, the British captured Quebec, and poor David Dean became a prisoner of the British.

Fortunately, this guy knew alchemy, and the British Army didn't have much trouble with him. He was shipped to Jamestown and became the first contract slave under the name of Captain James Jones.

This time major hank sent back a lot of high-grade refined salt, which shocked Colonel Jones. As a baron, Colonel Jones certainly knows how much sensation this kind of high-grade salt will cause once it appears on the dining tables of the British aristocrats.

So, even if the price of this batch of salt is much higher than that of the salt produced in Britain, the greedy Colonel Jones really wants to intervene as Hank and Ferguson judge.

Both Hank and Ferguson have long judged the reaction of Colonel Jones, and they know very well that if they want to transport the salt back to England, they can't do without the support of Colonel Jones. After all, Colonel Jones is not only in charge of the army in Jamestown, but also has a very good relationship with the top military officer of the Royal Navy in Jamestown.

Most importantly, Jones is a baron himself. He has several transport ships that can cross the Atlantic Ocean. If the salt is to be transported back to England from the new world, it can only be transported by Captain Jones, who controls more than 60% of Jamestown's shipping business.

This guy is the local emperor in Jamestown! Or the local emperor with military power!

Just because he knew that he couldn't get around Colonel Jones, Hank was ready to deal with it. When hank said that there was a need for alchemists in the high tree tribe, Captain Jones, who was always stingy and greedy, did not hesitate to send David Addison out.

Of course, he is not without conditions, his requirement is that the transportation of salt should not be less than 60000 pounds!

For this reason, Colonel Jones even sent out a company of soldiers to protect the transport convoy along the way, and the convoy used to pull salt used nearly 100 wagons, which almost collected all the wagons in Jamestown.

The transportation mission was also crowned by Colonel Jones with the reason of ”escorting important military materials”.

It's right for Colonel Jones to do so. After all, salt is also a very important military material. It's hard to say whether the salt will be brought back into the army

It is very common in the new world in this era that private affairs should be turned into official affairs in such a grand manner.

Why do you think those aristocrats in Europe are fighting to get involved in the new world? For this reason, there was even a seven-year war between Britain and France, the purpose of which was to seize the rich resources of the new world?

If the country is still like this, the nobles as individuals are naturally not willing to lag behind, and even say it is no exaggeration that the seven-year war between Britain and France was counselled by these nobles.

As long as these nobles can get a foothold in the new world, they will certainly use their power to maximize the wealth here. Not only the wealth of the new world, but also the wealth of white slaves and even immigrants.

The most important thing is that these nobles' means of plundering wealth are simply appalling! In contrast, the same person who lived in this era, although he was greedy, he was civilized like a good baby.

There's no way. In this era, the new continent of North America is a cruel jungle. The only law that suits here is the jungle law.

The law of the jungle, ruthlessness is not a problem here, as long as you dare to start, as long as you can do it, then you can get everything you want.

Obviously, the four alchemists who are gathered in the hands of stone bear are not the dishes of jungle law, so they become prisoners from an alchemist.

Keeping major hank, the stone bear can't show a good attitude towards the two alchemists. He just said a few simple greetings, got to know the life experience and origin of the two, then turned to go out to drink with Hank and Ferguson.

Hank, well, no, it should be said that major Jones is very willing to pay this time. In order to monopolize the refined salt, he even took out several bottles of good wine this time
