Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 167 Don't blame me for being a bad person. It's just that this daughter is too rich.
Just moments before the Barbary pirates held their founding council.

The Royal Colony of Hattings, on the outskirts of Jamestown, is a private estate of the Newman family on the outskirts of the Blue Mountains.

The main peak of this mountain range is 2200 meters high, with abundant rainfall, dense forests and a cool climate.

It also produces a kind of Blue Mountain coffee that is popular in various countries in the old world, which brings considerable profits to the Newman family every year. It can be said to be a treasure land.

But two months ago, this mountain range underwent a major transformation, and many spice trees were transplanted here from other places.

“You are planting trees the wrong way.

The operating manual is already written in such detail, how could such a low-level mistake be made?
The spice tree prefers acidic soil, with red soil being the best, loess being the second best, and sandy soil being the worst.

Planting should be done on gentle slopes or hills that are sheltered from the wind and facing the sun within a thousand meters above sea level.

Have you checked your orientation and soil quality?

Dig it up and replant it for me immediately!"

"And you, is this how artificial incense is made? Did you buy your job as a [Famine Hunter]? Idiot!

Agarwood can only be produced artificially after the agarwood tree reaches maturity.

The simplest method is to select a mature tree that is more than eight years old and has a trunk diameter of more than 30 centimeters. Cut or drill a hole in the trunk about two meters above the ground, with the wound about three or four centimeters deep.

This tree is so small, how can it withstand such destruction by you?
Carry a ruler with you and follow the manual. The standard is the standard, and no one is allowed to cheat."

Seeing the numerous mistakes and omissions in the operations of the spice cultivation team found by the Newman family, Byron was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet.

"Listen to me, you are either slaves or prisoners, and your hope of regaining your freedom is slim.

But as long as you do a good job, you can enjoy better treatment. It is even possible to be promoted to an agronomy expert and get treatment like the rich and powerful.

But I have to say the ugly words first.

Anyone who messes with these precious spice trees is messing with the Newman family and with me, the Sea Hunter.

It’s okay for me to suffer some losses, but I will never tolerate the Newman family suffering losses.”

Although the natural conditions here are excellent, there is no "golden toilet" that can guarantee the fertility of the land and turn the barren soil into black soil.

There is also no Crystal Skull No. 3, which can greatly accelerate the growth of vegetation as long as the [Land of Plenty] is opened.

Using artificial cultivation methods, it takes at least three, five, or eight years to harvest qualified spices.

It also puts a greater test on the breeding techniques of those famine hunters.

What if the cultivation is done incorrectly from the beginning, and after three or five years the produced spices do not meet the standards, resulting in a large-scale reduction in production?
Wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?
Frugality is the way to manage a household. No one can cheat me out of a penny.

Rework, rework everything for me!
The red-clad lobster soldiers who were in charge of supervising the prisoners' work were naturally unaware of Byron's cunning thoughts, and they all couldn't help but admire him:
"Mr. Sea Hunter is truly loyal to the General.

She thinks what the general thinks, worries about what the general worries about, treats the Newman family's affairs as her own, and cares about the general's property more than her own property.

Such loyal subordinates are almost extinct on the sea."

Another soldier next to him seemed to know more about the situation and continued:

“Perhaps, our newly promoted pirate general [Sea Hunter] Mr. Byron may really become a member of the Newman family.

Of course, it could also be Mr. Bill, another pirate general with whom he had a very good relationship. "

Now, half a month has passed since the fall of the Azik Empire, and Major General Newman has fulfilled his original promise:

"If I don't die today, I will help you become a high-ranking official, reduce taxes, smuggle arms, and I will marry my daughter to you (Chapter 152)!"

Helped Byron successfully fill the vacancy left by the death of [Hook] and re-filled the quota of seven pirate generals.

Moreover, the kingdom has always suffered from the lack of capable privateering fleet members.

He also specifically promised that as long as they were promoted to the third rank, they would be awarded the official rank of brigadier general or even major general in the regular navy.

More importantly, if one of them actually married the daughter of the Newman family, the governor of the royal colony.

With this connection, his status was close to that of the Governor of Castile's brother-in-law, the Conqueror Cortes.

Won't they be able to run rampant in the colony of Hattings in the future?
Relying on this connection, it would be enough to join the ranks of the nobility in a few years.

But when the soldiers next to him heard his words, there was no envy on their faces, but a strange look:
"Would the general be so kind? Wait, you're not talking about Miss Tilly?"

"Well, it seems the general only has one daughter."

When this name was mentioned, several soldiers immediately kept silent.

As if to prevent himself from accidentally breaking some extremely dangerous taboo.

Just as Byron was trying to do two things, gathering information among the Barbary pirates and instructing the famine hunters on farming.

Bill, who had come with him to the Newman family territory to meet his father-in-law (and drag his father-in-law into the water), walked over with somewhat stiff steps.

Bruch got the [Shaman Mask], and with the help of its "self-concealing barrier", it has long been difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Get close to any mid-sequence without worrying about being exposed.

Moreover, for Bruch, the sworn knight, as long as he fulfills his oath and protects his lord and glory, he can be promoted quickly.

With Byron's enthusiasm for diving into various whirlpools, his strength increased extremely quickly.

Although he is only one year older than Byron, he is a true genius who awakened on his own at the age of sixteen and has accumulated several years of experience in the first level.

Promotion to the second level might happen in an instant.

Coming with him was Major General Newman, who was all smiles.

And another person surrounded by several maids.

Byron went forward bravely.

"General, Miss Tilly, good day!"

Newman had nothing to say, but the noble lady, wearing a colorful dress, glittering golden bracelets, necklaces and earrings, looked very wealthy.

He was just a little too plump, and even the big bracelet cut deeply into his flesh.

The most notable feature is that it is big, very big, big in every way!
Even though all of us brothers are gifted, this model still doesn't match.

She is simply a replica of Feilong. No, Feilong is even slimmer than her. At least he doesn't pant much when he walks.

The young lady was holding an emerald feather fan and looked at them with her face covered and smiling, but the feather fan could only barely cover her mouth.

Two pairs of eyes, mixed with shyness and passion, fell on the two people without any disguise, crawling on them like two caterpillars.

The two brothers smiled, but they couldn't help cursing Newman in their hearts:

'How despicable! You actually repay kindness with enmity!'

Major General Newman was unaware of this and asked for their opinions with a smile:
"Well? My daughter Tilly is very pleased with both of you. You two can decide for yourselves who will marry her."

The uh, grace and demeanor of this "rich" lady might be a little hard for the two young men to accept.

But in the eyes of the old nobles, it means nothing.

Isn’t this what political marriages are all about?

The nobles of the Old World have always been fond of playing tricks, just like the Conqueror Cortes, who had only one wife but could have many lovers.

It is common for a couple to play their own games.

Even the aristocratic tradition of the Iris Kingdom is that even if you see your wife having a tryst with her lover, you must politely close the door. That is the true gentlemanly demeanor.

They may even be proud that their wives have slept with high-ranking officials.

The most difficult moment finally arrived.

Hearing Newman's words, the two brothers immediately relied on the tacit understanding of growing up together naked and had a fierce confrontation with their eyes:
"Women are like clothes, and brothers are like limbs. How can I hurt the relationship between us brothers for a woman? You go ahead."

"This dress is too big and doesn't really fit me. I'd rather use it as a face cloth for your hands and feet."
'I won't wipe it, you wipe it.'

'I won't wipe it either, you wipe it!'

'Damn it!'

'Damn it!'
'.'
Suddenly, Byron was hit by a gust of wind from behind, which hit his good brother hard on the back.

"Don't blame me for being a bad person. It's just that this huge sum of money is too scary. Rest in peace, brother."

Bruch suddenly lost his balance and took a big step forward, almost bumping into Miss Tilly's arms, making her shy instantly.

As if afraid of his "impatience", she hid behind the general.

Just when Bruch was filled with grief and indignation and was once again taking the blame for his lord and bearing it all by himself, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

clang clang clang.
Amid the melodious sound of bells, anchor the second level of [Silver Law] and officially step into the second-level [Oath Knight]!
