Chapter 546 Evil Soul
The gradual departure of the fleet, for the English, this is not an adventure trip, but an action to make a fortune, an action that gives them rich rewards.
For these, the English in North America don't care.
But for them, what they care most about is women.
In the current Irish Town, with the accumulation of population, especially the increase of male immigrants, the demand for women has become increasingly strong.
It takes at least half a year for the fleet to go back and forth. Therefore, after Andrews returns, the remaining half a year will be very difficult for everyone.
In particular, the two supply ships that arrived later transported mostly male immigrants, and very few women. The number of men has exceeded 500, while the number of women can only break through 50. The ratio is too disparate.
In this regard, in the past few months, incidents such as **** and derailment have emerged one after another, making Governor Gilbert overwhelmed, and the busier one is Your Excellency, who can't bear to be entangled.
"My lord, you have to think of a way, this kind of thing needs to stop here!"
The judge in his thirties wore glasses, and his face was deeply tired. It was obvious that his life was not easy these days.
"If it continues, the entire colony will be in jeopardy.
Just now, I also heard that in the big dormitory, there are often howls of grievances at night, and when working during the day, many people are limping, and the hearts of the people are in turmoil! "
Seeing the aggrieved and eager expression of the judge, Gilbert, as the governor, was also extremely upset. This kind of thing is small, but it will endanger the stability of the entire order.
As the governor, it is his main responsibility to stabilize the entire colony, but at this time, facing such a thing, he is very embarrassed.
The solution is not much.
"How about, my treasurer, spend a little money and buy some female black slaves from the sea!"
Looking at his good friend Alan Brady, Gilbert asked with some embarrassment. For a gentleman like him, this kind of thing is a bit difficult to talk about.
"Okay, but I'm afraid you won't like it. I have emotions. After all, there are some that..."
As a treasurer, Alan Brady is usually stingy about spending money on things like this, but recently, because of the sale of liqueur, the colony has become richer, so he is willing to spend a small amount of money.
However, as soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. For black slaves, immigrants must be emotional, but for the sake of social stability, this emotion can be ignored.
"My lord, the sow in the pigsty is missing, you should go and have a look! It's disturbing!"
Many high-level officials were discussing the content, and suddenly an immigrant's shout came from outside the door, which was hurried and high-pitched, directly breaking the silence among the people.
"My lord, I was about to go to the pigsty just now, but I found that the sow was gone, and only the boar was hitting the wall restlessly!"
A young immigrant was stopped outside the door, but he was yelling, nervous and restless, his face turned pale, as if he had guessed something.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look together!" Gilbert frowned when he heard this. This sow was mated with another boar in the pigsty, and the whole colony was counting on her to breed pigs. It would be bad if something happened.
For the only sow in the colony, especially the sudden bad feeling in their hearts, they suddenly became uneasy.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The hurried footsteps of the people seemed to be beating their restless hearts, but instead made their footsteps even more chaotic.
"Aw—oooh!" "Shuang—" "Huchi—"
"Woooo—" "Huh—huh~"
After searching for a long time, I finally found a forest, and heard screams, which made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.
Outside the woods, hundreds of immigrants held onto the trees, laughing non-stop, and some even looked concerned, as if they knew people in the woods.
Some people, clutching their buttocks, have unpredictable expressions on their faces.
Most of the people sighed, and they were speechless about this scene, and they couldn't come up with anything to say.
The few people inside seemed to be intoxicated, unable to extricate themselves, and did not notice the people outside the woods.
Gilbert and the others looked for this place and looked at each other. The Governor looked at the faintly visible figures and the huge body of the sow. Although it was covered by leaves, it made people feel clearly visible.
"Hey! Let's go, let's go, everyone!" Hearing the sound of wheezing and wheezing inside, the governor sighed, then shook his head, drove everyone away, took one last look with shame on his face, and then left .
Seeing that the governor is like this, everyone can only be reluctant to part, no, they left with a pale complexion, and their steps are fast, as if they have been pricked by a needle.
About half an hour later, three young and strong migrants with floating footsteps carefully carried an exhausted half-fat sow on a wooden plank, walked away step by step, and then slowly let it go. In the wide pigsty.
Looking at the surrounding situation, the three of them walked away cautiously, swaying their heads, ignoring the angry eyes of the big boar in the pigsty and the miserable eyes of the sow.
All this happened without saying a word.
"Must go, hurry up, buy **** right now, without delay—"
As soon as he returned to the office, Gilbert sat down on the bench and said to the financial officer angrily and impatiently.
As the governor, he did not expect that the current situation has become so bad that if it continues, the collapse of the entire colony is also possible!
"If you buy it now, it may be too late. The sooner this kind of thing is resolved, the better! Dirty soul!"
Pastor Gefraun made the cross on his chest, lowered his eyebrows, and said with pity.
"This must be the invasion of the devil, polluting their confused hearts. Only by spreading the glory of our Lord can we influence such despicable and sinful souls, wash away their sins, and let the glory of our Lord shine on Edwardtown again. , ah door—”
Hearing what the priest said, Gilbert couldn't help but frowned. To be honest, at present, it is a very bad plan to have an enemy with the Indians so soon.
But things have developed to this point, and the number of immigrants is constantly accumulating, and more and more land is needed. It is also necessary to develop first.
"However, Mr. Governor, as a judge, please allow me to explain that those people violated the laws and regulations of the colony and destroyed public property. I will have a public trial for them. Please postpone the time a little bit!"
Just as Gilbert was about to speak, His Excellency suddenly spoke.
