During the Renaissance, Britain achieved great success under the leadership of Elizabeth I, and can even be said to be far ahead of other European countries.

Regardless of how historians and literary and artistic people view this issue, I myself have always attributed it to the inevitable result of a unique geographical environment.

Unlike other mainland countries that are constantly quarreling with each other, they need to devote more energy to the competition for survival. The UK is located on an island, lonely overseas, with little survival pressure, and a large space for naval development. It can have more time and space to have free imagination.

The UK is separated from the English Channel and is not only water barrier, but also very close to the continent. Therefore, the UK does not need to maintain the continental army, but can concentrate China's efforts to develop maritime power, blockade of continental ports with its advantageous navy, and control routes to and from northern Europe.

So in the hundreds of years after the beginning of the Renaissance - until World War II, the British were at the forefront of the world, both in terms of thought, technology and economics.

But at present, all this is still in the brewing stage and has not been transformed into specific combat power and strength. What I am doing today may be stimulating and catalyzing this transformation process.

Twenty minutes before the speech, the St. John's Ring Theatre, which could accommodate 3,500 people, was full, and even the aisles were full.

Because of Elizabeth I's loose religious policies, a large number of foreign Protestants flocked to the UK, causing a large number of populations in major cities such as London, Portsmouth, and Dublin.

Of course, in the future enclosure movement, these people and their descendants have become the targets of enclosure and become the lowest-level handicraftsmen. So today, although my recruitment has other purposes, it also gives them a chance to choose.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" My voice began to echo in the ring open-air theater. The theater's sound gathering effect was very good, so the applicant group, as a mob, immediately calmed down and looked up at me on the rostrum.

I looked around for a week and saw that everyone was quiet, I said aloud in a majestic voice: "I am the initiator of this recruitment - Sun Qilan, the Marquis of Mexico. I sincerely welcome you!"

Applause and whistle began to sound, but it was not too enthusiastic, because the core topic had not been discussed yet.

I was not in a hurry, and slowly paced back and forth for two steps before stopping and shouting: "As you know, the purpose of this recruitment, or the opportunities that can be provided to you, are all on the ship and the New World! So who can tell me what is your purpose of coming here? Or, what do you want? Who?"

I looked around again, waiting for the answer. People looked at each other for a while, and a man in very rough clothes replied: "Gold coins! My purpose is gold coins! Of course, silver coins that are heavy enough are also OK!"

I looked at him and smiled, nodded and said, "Gold coins! That's right! I love gold coins too! Is there any?"

"I want land! Is it OK?" asked another person.

"Ah! Land!" I made an exaggerated expression and said, "What my territory lacks the most is land!"

After receiving a positive answer, there was a whisper of whispering.

"Marquis, is there any possibility of promotion after surrendering to you?" asked a young man with fair face.

I laughed twice and said, "Of course! If you are proficient in combat, military preparation, navigation measurement, management, and accounting, you can certainly be promoted!"

"Of course, if you only know how to feed horses, then until you die, you can only feed horses! Don't expect me to give you an extra copper coin." I made a funny and helpless expression, which made the people below laugh, and the young man was blushed.

"I can draw maps, Lord Marquis!" the young man shouted with a sharp voice and held it in his mouth for a long time.

Before I could answer, the few guys next to me who were not regular at first glance started to laugh and said, "Come on, little brat! Did you draw a map when wet the bed in the middle of the night?"

As soon as this said, everyone burst into laughter. I did not stop it because for these scattered vagrants, this vulgar happiness is a better way to connect with each other.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came out: "Marquis Marquis, I can only kill people, is it considered a skill?"

The laughter around suddenly became quiet and all of them turned their eyes to the person who was talking. The guy was huddled in a black cloak, and his voice sounded very sharp and harsh.

"It's Bloody Jack! Damn, he's here too!"

"Oh! I'm the bad-hearted killer!"

"Hide away! Stay away"

...

A slight commotion occurred in the crowd, and a small circle was squeezed out around him. The center of the circle was the bloody Jack.

I looked at the guy with his head and tail, but my tone was very calm and replied: "Of course! I have made it clear before that no matter what skills you are looking for, we also want the skills you mentioned, but only those are advanced!"

There was a low cry in the crowd, but I didn't expect that I would give such an answer. Most nobles like to pretend, especially in front of everyone, they are usually more hypocritical, but I didn't know that I was so straightforward.

Many people began to feel that this marquis from the East was not simple, but many people also felt that I was in love with the Bloody Jack, and they couldn't help feeling a little sad.

But I don’t know these. Even if I know, I will still do my own things according to my own principles.

After hearing my answer, the man in the cloak couldn't help but feel a little bit floating. Strictly speaking, he was just a thug with cruel means, and this was also an important capital for him to show off to women of special professions in the bar.

Of course, showing his face in front of such a wide range of groups is also one of his main hobbies. In Bloody Jack's heart, such an opportunity is once a lifetime and must not be missed.

So he laughed and shouted, "It seems you know who I am, the little noble!"

I smiled and said, "Of course!"

Bloody Jack laughed even more arrogantly for a while, and his vanity rose completely at this moment! So he laughed wildly: "The tree attracts wind, you know! I'm going to give it to me well, no one in London dares to have your ideas!"

Many people's faces became extremely strange. Everyone had discussed the aristocrats on weekdays, but who dared to talk to a marquis in person like this? I wonder if this marquis from the East was not angry because of his timidity or good face?

Is it really like the Bloody Jack's words that this Marquis is a bully and needs someone to support him?

I was thinking a lot, but I heard my voice ringing in my ears: "I held this job fair because I needed talents, or in other words, we and the scattered talents need each other, so everyone should see my sincerity."

"So, are there people in you who are proficient in the law?" I asked with a smile.

A slight buzzing sound came from the crowd, and soon a voice came from the crowd: "Yes! Sir! There is!"

I looked in the sound and saw a young man with blonde hair, and asked with a smile: "Speak your name, young man."

"Claude, I am Martin Claude, lord!" the young man replied: "I graduated from Oxford University and specialize in mainland China's law."

I said "Oh" a long "Oh" and continued to ask with a smile: "Oxford University! Sounds good! So Claude, tell me, what should civilians do to humiliate a noble in public?"

After asking this sentence, everyone turned their attention to Bloody Jack, then looked at Cloud to see how he would answer.

Claude stood straight and replied loudly: "Sir, according to the law, this situation depends on the severity. Of course, deprivation of property, freedom and life are within the scope of discretion."

Bloody Jack had already heard the smell at this time, knowing that I was pointing something, and Claude happened to give me the answer I wanted. Although he didn't know what I was going to do, he still shouted at Claude viciously: "Boy! You dare to talk nonsense! I..."

"Puff!" A muffled sound suddenly reminded me of the bloody Jack's head, halfway through his speech, suddenly opened a bloody hole in his head! When everyone was stunned, he fell to the ground with a "puff", twitched for a few times and then stopped moving.

"Oh!" The crowd around him had a slight riot, and the chin behind me had already retracted the barrel of the smoke-emitting gun.

"Quiet!" My voice spread again, and the mob below suddenly became much quieter, all of whom were looking at me with a steady attitude.

I looked at Claude and smiled, "You were accepted! Mr. Claude! The monthly salary of five gold coins during the probation period will be told to you in the specific job, are you willing to accept this invitation?"

The salary I gave was more than twice the average salary on the market. Claude bowed slightly and said, "Of course! I have no reason to refuse! Sir! But..."

He looked up at me and continued with a lot of content in his eyes: "I once swear to the Bible that I will be loyal to the law, so sir, your execution of Bloody Jack has a procedural flaw, after all, no judge will make a judgment."

I looked at the young man with a smile. He smiled calmly. It seemed that he was intentionally asking this question. Why? He had obviously accepted my invitation, but it was logical that I was his boss now, so why did he still have to do such a sabotage?

Suddenly, I understood his idea - in full view of everyone, it is possible to kill people and establish authority, but Britain is a place that claims to be a gentleman's country, and my direct approach will inevitably lead to criticism afterwards.

Claude suggested in person that he wanted to sing a double act with me and eliminate this hidden danger on the spot - of course, if I don’t understand, then he might immediately draw the symbol of “sexy but weak” in his heart!

So I smiled and said, "You are right, young man, but Bloody Jack does not need to be judged." As I said, I picked up a piece of parchment from the table and continued, "The Queen has authorized me to pursue the right of these evildoers in real time!"

"The mud lying on the ground has been proven to be related to three murders, and has been extorted and cheated countless things, so I executed him just to fulfill my loyalty to the Queen."

Below came a long "Oh!" The foolish people are foolish people. All they need is an explanation. Thinking of my propaganda formation in front of the Palace of Westminster for many days, this must be true.

Claude immediately bowed his head and said, "Since that's the case, there's no problem! Sir!"

What a good guy! He gave a divine assist at the critical moment! So I took advantage of the situation and continued, "So as you can see, I need all kinds of talents! As long as you have the ability, I have positions and gold coins!"

A cheer came from below, but I continued, "Even if you don't have any special talents, you can only farm."

The following suddenly became silent again. After all, before the Industrial Revolution, most people still made a living by farming, so my words hit the hearts of most people, and they looked forward to seeing what I would say.

"As long as you have a good reputation, have no criminal record, and are willing to fight for life, then follow me! Go to the New World!" I said loudly: "Sign the contract! Sign the contract with me! You will get the land! Ten acres? Twenty acres? Who knows!"

Below was a farmer-like man shouting, "Is that true? Marquis, does everyone have it?"

I replied loudly, "Yes! Sign a contract, as long as you cultivate on that land for a year, you will own one acre of land! And the land you have the right to use will be ten times that number!"

Oh, the crowd is boiling with farmers as the main body! In the UK, where the land is narrow and dense, land is a scarce resource, so the contract I provide is extremely valuable!

Even if it is a liar? Some people think that they have nothing to lose, why not try it? And this marquis looks very reliable!

As for what I said later, it is actually no longer important. My intentions have been clearly spread. This is what Queen Elizabeth I wanted most! And I also got what I needed as I wish.
Chapter completed!
