Governor Hubert de Beverren arrived at Orient Harbor with two merchant ships loaded with Congo slaves. A young man named Leon Wolfgang Wagner looked like he was looking at himself. Please search and read the most complete novel!

The Congolese black slaves were ordered by various construction teams under the Ministry of Transport of the East Coast. There are more than 600 people in total. They will mainly go to the construction site of the Central Railway to contribute to the construction of the East Coast.

To be honest, if it were not for the strong demands of the East Coast people, the New Kurland colony really did not intend to sell too many black slaves to the East Coast people. There are two reasons. First, the plantations built by the Kurlands themselves seem to be mainly tobacco plantations, but in recent years there have been more plantations of sugarcane, indigo and other tropical cash crops. However, it is not mainstream and requires a large amount of labor to work. Logging camps, docks, construction teams, etc. also require a large amount of black labor. I often feel short of it, so how can there be a large amount of surplus for sale to the East Coast?

These two are naturally related to the cost of arresting people. Because of the vague intercourse of Portuguese missionaries and even colonial governments, the cost of the Kurians arresting Congo black slaves in the Congo River Basin has increased greatly. The war with the local Congo Kingdom has not only lasted for a long time, but often it even cost a lot of money to catch a sufficient number of black people, which makes them very uncomfortable. You must know that the price of black people they sell to the East Coast is basically fixed, and the price cannot be adjusted without the consent of the East Coast people. This makes arresting black slaves a hard work, and the profit is no longer particularly conspicuous, but the risks are greatly increased, so that this business is regarded by the Kurians as a disguised "tribute" to the East Coast.

Of course, the Kurish people naturally dared not stop this "tribute", because they are now dependent on the East Coast Republic of China. Not only are there personnel (usually children of nobles or knights, which are equivalent to the reserve bureaucratic class of New Kurish) studying finance, management, commerce and some basic industrial and agricultural technologies here, and all kinds of materials needed for their daily production and life must also be imported from the East Coast, because imports from the Old Continent are not only far away, but are expensive, and even the goods are not complete.

In addition, the most important point is that the New Kurland colony is tropical, with hot weather and humid climate. The Livornians from the Baltic Sea are naturally inconvenient to the Poles. Therefore, a large amount of imported drugs from the east coast include cinchona cream, feng olefin, safflower oil, cooling oil, activate oil, wind-repellent oil, turmeric oil, 108 medicinal wine, opium wine, aspirin, senna, foxglove preparations, aloe vera oil and a large number of proven medicines still effective in South America.

Some things, even all other commodities, are more important, because they are obviously directly related to the health of the local colonists. If the urban drainage facilities designed and supervised by the East Coast, New Courland is basically inseparable from the East Coast. Otherwise, life will be much more difficult. It is common for a large number of colonial population to die. It is impossible that more than 25,000 white colonists can live all year round as it is now.

So, we saw that the Kurians really did not dare to disobey the will of the East Coast people at all. Every year, they would seize the prescribed number of Congolese slaves early to send them to major ports on the East Coast to be cut. They also tried to pick the best quality to export to the East Coast to the East Coast (the second-class ones were brought back to Europe for sale). During the Eastern Portuguese War, they even sent troops to attack the Angolan colony in Portugal, and they were carrying a "good dog".

Today, Governor Beverren came to the east shore with two ships to deliver black slaves and some tobacco leaves. The empty cabin after delivery was naturally filled with various East shore commodities. However, this time, it was a little different! An official from the East shore diplomatic department took a handwritten letter from Minister Zheng Yong to tell Governor Beverren that the situation had changed. Their two ships could no longer ship barrels of flour, wine, metal tools, cloth, salt and medicine, but would have to be equipped with a large number of rifles, artillery, spears, sabers, armor and accompanying ammunition. The destination would no longer be the port of Jacobs in New Courland, but Amsterdam in the United Provinces, where there would be people from the Tripp family who had been waiting for them for delivery.

Governor Beverren, who is over 60 years old, is naturally very surprised by this because it is not in line with common sense and also disrupts their plans. However, with a high emotional intelligence, he certainly did not show his true emotions. Instead, after complaining a little, he agreed to the request to transport the two ships of weapons to Amsterdam for the East Coast people. Of course, in order to express his gratitude, the East Coast people paid a freight of 30% higher than the market price. The East Coast Insurance Company also gave them two maritime insurances for free, and the sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient.

In addition, in response to Governor Beverren's complaint, East Coast diplomatic officials also stated that the two 650-ton flute-type ships ordered by New Courland at the Dayuhe Naval Shipyard will be delivered in advance (two ships that should have been delivered to the South China Sea Transportation Company in the near future) will be misappropriated and will be available at the beginning of next month. They can wait for about twenty days on the East Coast, then purchase all kinds of required materials, and then drive the two new ships back to Jacob Port.

Governor Beverren was a little surprised when he heard about it, because this meant that there was no loss in Courland, so he happily stated that he would inform the captains of the two ships, and let them cross the Atlantic Ocean after supply, and return to the old continent as soon as possible. Seeing that the goal was achieved, the diplomatic officials of the East Coast left with a smile, and Beverren and Wagner also left the dock cargo yard and settled in a nearby shopping mall (also used as diplomatic liaison venue) opened by Courland.

In the next week or two, Governor Beverren was busy, and seemed to have visited many East Coast government officials. He also met with some friends in the business community and determined the direction of cooperation between the two sides in the next few years. At this time, he often brought Wagner with him and introduced him to many East Coast officials and merchants, and said that the Wagner Knights would be responsible for contacting them in the future, and he would retire gloriously and live his life.

Yes, yes, after serving Grand Duke Jacob for most of his life, Governor Beverren, who was already in his sixties, was increasingly feeling weak and could no longer compete with a series of matters in colonial diplomacy, security, and business. After reporting this idea to Grand Duke Jacob, the Grand Duke first tried to retain it, but after discovering that Governor Beverren was more determined, he also agreed to his request for retirement, and then appointed Leon Wolfgang Wagner a German-style Latvian, a general under Grand Duke Jacob, and a knight-headed governor of the New Courland Colony.

The two have not officially completed their family. Governor Beverren, who lives in New Courland, actually has a son and a daughter after his wife died. His daughter is now married to a knight with a fiefdom in New Courland, and his son is learning financial knowledge at the accounting special school in Qingdao Port. During this period, he has basically brought Wagner to various affairs. After he has gained some understanding, he took this opportunity to take a boat to the east coast and take him to visit some old relationships he has accumulated over the years.

There is no doubt that this step is crucial, because the foundation of the existence of the New Kurland Colonial is the East Coast. The most important task of the Governor is to maintain good relations with the East Coast, and then obtain various commodities and assistance from the East Coast, deepen the colony, develop the tropical plantation economy, and bring benefits to the Dagong family and all investors. To put it thoroughly, the New Kurland Colonial is the money-making machine for the Dagong family, Wendao and Mitao, and in order to enable this money-making machine to operate smoothly, please the people of the East Coast.

Of course, after enfeoffing many meritorious ministers, the local forces of New Kurland have gradually taken shape over the years. Some farmers, forest farmers, merchants, and even bureaucrats who have settled in the ground naturally cannot have no idea about the blood-sucking and exploitation of Mitao. However, their strength is still weak and cannot make their voices smoothly. However, with the East Coast people trained by the East Coast people to return to New Kurland to serve, and more and more white self-cultivated farmers in the Congo River Basin, the local forces will eventually become stronger. It is conceivable how much influence the East Coast Republic will be! It is good that Kurland does not betray the East Coast Republic. Once there is a disagreement, the East Coast people will encourage the local people to be independent in minutes and establish a new country. From then on, they will break away from the control of the Principal of Kurland. Of course, the relationship between the two countries is good and has not yet reached this point. This is just a backup plan.

After nearly half a month of activity in the capital East Port, the two ships were already full of weapons and military funds. The East Coast Foreign Minister Zheng Yong met with the two in his house. Zheng Yong had no intention of concealing his intentions and ideas, but asked Governor Beveran directly: Is the Principality of Courland interested in acting as agents of East Coast goods in the Baltic Sea?

This pie from the sky made Governor Beveren dizzy. Of course he knew what this meant: the East Coast products were of great variety, with good quality and low price. Over the years, under the operation of the Dutch, it has been sold well in the Baltic countries, making the Dutch make a fortune (the profits of the East Coast producers are much higher). The Kurians were jealous, but they did not have as broad sales channels as the Dutch, and they could only make small fuss in Livornia and the nearby Poland and Prussia.

But what does the East Coast mean this time? Are you not going to cooperate with the East Coast and let the Kurran act as an agent? Governor Beverren felt a little incredible when he heard the news, but after careful consideration, he felt that this possibility was still very high, because the United Provinces now have a very bad relationship with the East Coast!

Although Governor Beverren lives in New Courland for many years, he naturally will not know nothing about the news about the Old Continent. Moreover, after Wagner arrived at Jacob Port, he also talked in depth about the details of the European situation in recent years during the chat. Naturally, he would not miss some of the frictions that had happened between the East Coast people and the Dutch people.

Governor Beverren later learned that the East Coast people had officially sent troops to take down the Dutch Cape Town colony and put it into their own rule. And the news that it had not been returned yet has been heard, which undoubtedly greatly angered the Dutch. The relationship between the two countries is probably impossible to improve in the short term! If you think about it this way, it would be normal for the East Coast people to hand over the right to trade the Dutch agent to the Principal of Kurland, which means that they have completely abandoned the Baltic Sea, a market that can be called the Dutch back garden, and instead focus on operating areas where the Dutch power is not so strong, such as the Earth Sea!

This is definitely a historical opportunity of the Principality of Kurland! Governor Beverren understood that he was more precisely the only agent, because he tried to cultivate Kurland merchants in the East Coast before, but their strength was too weak, which was the huge benefits and massive benefits that the existence of being crushed by the Dutch. Therefore, he was very excited. Unexpectedly, the things that the East Coast people had hinted several times before were officially completed this time. He felt that he must write to Grand Duke Jacob and Prince Frederick as soon as possible to cheer up and handle this matter solemnly. The Kurland merchant group can rise in the Baltic Sea, which can completely open up the commodity market for the East Coast people in the next few years!

At this time, Governor Beverlen was even somewhat grateful that the East Coast had a conflict with the Netherlands, and gave the Courses the opportunity to rise, at least they could try to see if they could seize it. From the perspective of the East Coasts, after losing the help of the Dutch agents, the East Coasts were already blind in the Baltic market. In addition to the Riga Trading Station being able to barely sell some goods to maintain their own operation, Sweden, Poland, and North Germany, such as fat markets, can only be thrown to the Courses, and let them make trouble and try it themselves. At least, the family of Grand Duke Jacob still has a considerable connection in northern Germany and intermarries are frequent. This can be seen from the fact that Prince Frederick ran to Lübeck, Hamburg, Rostock and other places every few days.

After handing over the Baltic Sea, the people of the East Coast can concentrate their energy and invest all their resources in the earthly sea area, and use the two fulcrums of Tornazia and Venice to sell goods to the Apennine Peninsula and southern Germany. In addition, Southern Europe under the rule of the Ottoman Empire is a target that needs to be focused on deep cultivation. If you do it well, there is still great potential to tap.

The East Coast people want the proud Prince Orange to see. Without you, will we not do business yet?
