The Rise of Iceland

　　　　Edinburgh is an ancient city with a history of hundreds of years as the royal capital. In the center of the city is the royal capital of Edinburgh. The entire pattern of Edinburgh is the spider web radiating outwards with the ancient castle as the core.

After entering the port of Edinburgh, the fleet docked in accordance with the guidance of the flag bearer. Then the staff of the Seaport Management Committee asked about the purpose and origin of the fleet. After learning that the goods were to be sold, the staff directly led Hager to the management committee to register , And issued a tax license for him.

　　The procedures are complete, and the fleet can be listed for sale on the Edinburgh Exchange, so Hagrid and Ulav went to the exchange to find merchants to prepare to sell the goods.

　　 Hudick took a few people to find a Scottish landlord living in Edinburgh, planning to recruit dozens of Scottish white slaves.

　　Actually, with the current state of Ireland, even if it requires one thousand or two thousand people, it is very easy, because people in northern Ireland can't live happily, and even take the initiative to find a way out to sea.

But Hadar and Hagrid are not fools. They are worried that there are too many white slaves in the Irish area and they will cling together, and then they will not cooperate with their leadership at the slightest level. .

　　 Therefore, in order to contain the Irish white slaves and balance the power, it is necessary to recruit some Scottish white slaves.

　　 During the severe winter, Olaf listened to Hadar, Hagrid, Ulav and others discussing this issue by the fireplace at home. He always felt that Hadar and the others were considering the right question.

There are now more than two hundred white slaves in Wenland, of which about 150 are Irish white slaves, while the number of Scottish white slaves is only over 30. Hagrid and Ulav rely on four or five Icelanders and ten who brought to Wenland from their homes. Several white slave militiamen managed more than two hundred white slaves and more than two hundred wild men, and there has been no problem, because the number of white slaves is still small, and Hagrid has a gun in his hand and is very brave and violent, treats others boldly, white slaves. There is no other idea at all.

　　 But if the white slaves get bigger and bigger, there is no guarantee that there will be no strange thoughts in life. By that time, the number of white slaves far exceeds the few Icelanders and dozens of militias managed by Hagrid, which is very dangerous.

　　Because Hagrid took this into consideration, when choosing white slaves, the focus was on people with families and honest duties.

Now that Hadar brought more than one hundred Icelanders to join, the leadership strength has greatly increased and become dozens of times stronger. With the backing of the people of Herut village, Hagrid estimates that it can add another five hundred to eight hundred whites. The slaves could not shake the leadership of the Icelanders.

However, in order to weigh the strength and not allow the white slaves to form a group with rural relations and friendship, it is still necessary to recruit some Scots, so as not to give Vinland to only the upper-class Icelanders and the lower-class Irish white slaves, because This kind of social situation is very unstable, and there is an outbreak of contradictions, which is infighting or even infighting.

　　 If the Scots are enriched, Vinland’s social members are the Herut family at the top and the Icelanders at the top, the white slave militia at the middle, the Irish and Scottish white slaves at the bottom, and the savage slaves at the bottom.

　　 This previous division can reduce the possibility of Irish white slaves grouping together, and if Scottish white slaves and Irish white slaves are mixed into teams, even if there are many Irish white slaves in each team, it will not be able to form a whole.

　　……

After 　　 was listed for sale, the fleet's cargo sales were not optimistic.

　　Because in an ordinary or even backward area like Scotland, luxury goods like spices and sugar are not easy to sell, so every merchant only bought a little.

　　Moreover, the strength of Scottish merchants is limited. Even grain, beer, linen, etc. can only buy goods from dozens of pounds to one or two hundred pounds.

　　 Haige, Hudik and others seemed to be prepared for this situation, so every day one person would go to the exchange to find a buyer, and then others would wait for various merchants to continue to pick up goods on the ship with peace of mind.

The mountains of cargo on the five large ships gradually decreased over time. After three or four days of rushing, the various cargoes on the five ships were finally distributed after the 28 Scottish merchants boarded the ship and inspected the goods. The batch is sold out.

"Except for the 30,000 pounds of unhusked barley, wheat, and rye that we left behind. All other grains, beer, etc., have been processed. I simply calculated it. A total of 7,800 pounds was sold, which is a profit of 2,500 pounds. "

　　 In the cockpit, Hagrid counted the big and small gold and silver coins in the money box, and finally smiled and looked at Olaf: "Here is your five thousand and five hundred pounds. Uncle doesn't use your money in vain."

After buying the boat, Olaf lent the remaining five thousand pounds to his uncle to purchase the goods. Now he earns 10% interest directly, grinning and saying: "I will give you a meal tonight, roast pig, roast leg of lamb. How?"

　　 "Okay! Master is so generous!" Pikku applauded and cheered, and he couldn't help but praise his master.

"There will be white slaves here tonight. Hudick has already selected them. It is estimated that there will be fifty or sixty households." Hagrid chuckled lightly. "This Scottish landlord and seller are more ruthless than Ireland. The landlord started together and helped us find hundreds of farmers, one for only 4 pounds, and 20% of the tax. These Scottish farmers thought that they were recommended by the masters to go to the New World to make money. Little did they know that the land in their hometown would be taken away by these benevolent lords the moment they left Edinburgh..."

　　 Hagrid has never sympathized with the poor Scots and Irish. Olaf always thought he was a cruel hero who only valued his family and friends and his subordinates, so he was not surprised to hear his uncle's mocking words.

"I heard Big Brother Hudick say that in England, the people of the West India Company often recruit farmers and poor people in the city to "get rich" in West India. The deception method is a hundred times more powerful than ours." Vali tried to make fun of it. Said.

　　 "Really...really?" Hilter, who was born as an orphan in England, has always had a good memory of his hometown after being beautified. He asked Valitou's words that it was hard to accept.

"This is still false? Brother Hudik listened to the nobles in Scotland." Valitu snorted coldly. "Little Shilt, you are still young and don't understand the abhorrence of nobles! Uncle Valitu will not cheat. you……"

　　 An hour passed quickly, because the saint in the cockpit rang the bell.

　　 Olaf glanced at the time at six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was getting darker.

　　 In the summer in England, it won’t get dark until after seven o’clock, but the sun begins to set at six o’clock.

　　 Two horse-drawn carriages with exquisite reliefs suddenly appeared on the pier. The people who drove were all well-dressed. At first glance, they looked like a rich or expensive family.

There were hundreds of Scots behind the carriage and followed closely with their children. After a while, the carriage stopped and Hudick, wearing an old but stiff military uniform, got out of the first car, and then helped the second car to open the door. .

　　 A fat, short man walked down in the second car. He had a beard that diverged in the middle and curled up on both sides, and he was holding a walking stick.

　　 Hagrid had already taken Ulav and walked off the boat quickly, first shook hands with the short man, and then smiled: "Mr. Ramos, why are you here in person?"

Olaf stood on the deck quietly observing the scene of the harbor. Hearing Hagrid's address to the short man, he remembered that he and Hudick had said that he had helped them coordinate relations with other landlords and helped recruit white slaves. Mr. Moss, it is said that this person is a local landlord and big businessman in Scotland, and he is very keen on any business that makes money.

　　 "Don't worry if I won't come~www.wuxiahere.com~ We have worked together many times, Hagrid, you are my good friend, how can I not come and watch it in person?" Ramos said with a smile.

　　 Knowing the virtues of this old boy, Hagrid sneered in his heart: Are you afraid that your servants will take the money and run? You are not worried about money.

　　 "Hudik, how many households is this?" Looking at Hudike, Hagrid asked.

　　 "There are one hundred and twenty-six people in 66 households." Hudick blurted out without hesitation.

　　 Hagrid nodded, then turned his head and said, "Walitu, you can get 264 pounds from the cabin."

　　Wait until Valit took a purse and handed it to Hagrid, Hagrid checked it in front of everyone before handing it to Ramos.

Ramos knows that the penny is not bad, so he took out a bundle of sales deeds from his arms. These are sales documents signed by one hundred and twenty-six people, and the content is that the person bought the ferry ticket out of his own will. Going to West India to live, but because I have no money to buy a ferry ticket, I am willing to work for the contract owner for 6 years free of charge.

The position of the signature is all crooked letters. This is because most farmers and poor people have low educational level and are even illiterate, so some can only write the initials of their own names, and some write an initial instead, and The letters of is not written, it is written by relatives and friends.

　　 The ancient oriental country’s handprint painting method is not used by Westerners, so it is basically replaced by drawing letters.

Ramos handing over this lot of deeds to Hagrid is equivalent to giving Hagrid the wealth, lives and management of the one hundred and twenty-six people on the dock, and what Hagrid paid was only the 264 that was handed over to Ramos. The pound sterling will give the white slave a piece of land a few years later.

　　 "May God bless you, my friend!" Ramos put away the purse with joy, then shook his hand with Hagrid and got in the car and left.
