In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

It is July, and the hot air is arbitrarily distorted under the scorching sun, and the outdoor temperature is rising day after day. Even on the night when the sun is off, it is not cool, and it is tormented that people can't get the least of their energy.

Lorraine lay lazily on the sofa, closed his eyes, enjoying the light or heavy finger pressure from his scalp.

Noah's fingers are attached to magical powers. The seemingly unremarkable movements will not only take away the heat, but also take away power, making people fall into a strange and blurred space and swim away from all the elements of the real world.

The long vacation continues.

In the Pansy Manor, Lorraine and his seamen enjoyed a rare leisure time.

Fishing, barbecuing, swimming, sunbathing, hunting in the forest from time to time, or boating on the lake, anyway, the plants and the creatures here are the property of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Pansy to Miami is like the Beverly Hills in New York. A total of 30,000 acres of land are covered with mountains, water, forests, long, narrow white sandy beaches, and scattered small and irregularly scattered. The plank road, the plank road can berth more than ten meters long boats, and only need to berth this kind of harmless yachts.

There are a total of more than 20 mansions of different styles scattered around the corners of this manor. Some borders are close to each other, some are far apart, some are regarded as main residences, and some are only occasionally found when the owner is on vacation. Enable

Their owners are without exception the chamber of commerce or even the big figures in the town. Regardless of whether the owner is at home or not, there are responsible butlers who take care of them throughout the year.

There is also an Indian village with a population of more than 300 and three pioneer villages with a population of more than 600.

Among them, the pioneers are mostly Drake's long-term appointments, either because of illness or disability, or they love the countryside and landscapes, and they drag their families and settle down here.

The backbone of the Indian Village is the group of freemen from Lucy back then. The Miskito tribe of Cao is not here. They do not live on the service industry. The main settlement is in the workers' community in Hekou Town.

These two tribes are the key to the close and non-interference between Lorraine and Florida Natives.

After all, Indians cannot truly believe in white foreigners. Only through these "albino" kinsmen can they have the patience to feel the difference between the Drake Chamber of Commerce and other whites.

The Chamber of Commerce neither treats them as scourges, nor does it have any interest in enslaving them. The two parties only have a purely commercial relationship. Drake used their scarce materials to purchase manpower and some cheap raw materials, such as wood, stone, clay and so on.

In the course of the transaction, some Indians also chose to live in Lianzhen, mainly because of marriage and a few work relationships, such as meeting suitable employers outside the Drake Chamber of Commerce in Miami Beach.

They further deepened the degree of integration between Miami and the Florida Peninsula.

All in all, the development trend of Miami Township should be good, right?

Stable and growing foreign migration, small and peaceful local erosion, a fair but white-dominated social order, legislation and administration that fully implement Drake's values, and a rapidly prosperous regional economy.

If this state were placed in any other colony, Lorraine would dare to assert that Miami’s future would be bright and would soon be recognized as an official administrative unit, except in Florida...

Ethnic conflict is the undisputed number one conflict in Florida.

As the largest settlement of Indians in North America, hundreds of tribes and millions of Indians live here.

They do not need to look at the whites’ faces and beg for life. On the contrary, since the Spanish landing in 1513, although the whites have been fighting for this land for nearly three hundred years, they have never really become the masters here, let alone. Such large-scale development and construction have been carried out like Miami.

Lorraine knew that the powers were not optimistic about the development of Miami.

Spain, the lord of Florida recognized by the international community, has been reluctant to send the mayor and tax collectors from St. Augustine to take up the post. Even at Lorraine’s instigation, the town council has submitted three full rounds of applications to the governor’s house.

"Why are you so determined not to get involved with Miami?"

Lorraine murmured and changed to a more comfortable posture, pressing his forehead against Noya's soft abdomen, opening his eyes and looking at the French window.

The view under the floor-to-ceiling windows is unique.

The sunlight came in through the clear glass, and a square cut of bright yellow was cut out on the carpet.

In the middle of the bright yellow, Henna and White ears are lying on their sides, like a pair of asymmetrical brackets, watching Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" together.

Lazy, boneless, expressionless, Henna made of water supports a heavy book, and white ears made of water blinked with amber vertical pupils.

About one page was finished, White Ear licked her paw to make up the page, Henna slapped the cat's paw apart, licked her fingers, and turned the book to the next page.

No one is willing to break that pleasant demure. The problem is that the book is a Spanish translation, and as far as Lorraine understands, whether it is White Ear or Henna, neither of these two should be able to read the words in the book...

Lorraine couldn't help coughing: "Henna, aren't you hot?"

Henna lent her eyes from the book page: "It's very warm, and the sunburned ink smells good."

"Uh... then why turn the page?"

"After a page is exposed for a long time, the taste will be weak."

This explanation is really impeccable...

Lorraine patted Noah's hand and sat up: "Henna, do you think the Indians will attack us?"

"Offensive?" Hina thought for a while. "There are 7 Indian tribes within 100 kilometers. The Miskitos have compiled their information, and a total of 74 people are qualified to be the patriarchs. As long as they are killed, these The tribe will fall apart."

"Meow!"

Lorraine's face was so touched, "Noah, what do you think?"

"Miami is very friendly to Indians..." Noah lowered his head, not as powerful as White Ears. "If the Roma meets such neighbors, we will definitely sing and dance for them enthusiastically."

"But when we are parting, we may borrow a little bit of entanglement from them...just a little bit, you know, the Roma don't want much..."

Lorraine understood for a while: "You mean the Indians might want more?"

"I don't know." Noah's head lowered lower. "But just like no one wants to trust the Roma, you don't really trust the Indians, do you?"

"It really is……"

Lorraine's doubts were solved at once. In Noya's words, the root cause of all problems was the word trust.

Spaniards, Indians, and Lorraine, as the three core parties influencing the development of Miami, no one is willing to give the other two real trust.

The Spaniards do not believe that Miami can continue to develop smoothly without interference, nor that Lorraine will truly and completely hand over Miami's power.

Lorraine did not believe that the greed of the Spaniards would stop at administrative rights and a small amount of taxes, nor did he believe that the Indians would always be as safe as they are now.

The situation is similar for the Indians.

They probably have been waiting, waiting for Spain to kick the "puppet on the table" away from Lorraine, or for Lorraine to take the initiative to tear off his amiable mask of hypocrisy.

The awkward tripartite relationship has led to the fact that the city hall of the town of Miami has been vacant. Without the mayor of an official background, she will of course not be able to elevate from a private black port to a real "town".

This is not good news...

Although in the short term, the black port's business model allows the Drake Chamber of Commerce to enjoy the rich tax and other benefits of the Miami area, but looking at the history of the entire voyage, which black port has a shelf life of more than 30 years?

On Bourgeois' shortsightedness and weakness.

Lorraine suddenly thought of this specious slogan that was often heard in the previous life.

Short-sightedness and weakness are defects, not so much a birth defect of the bourgeoisie, as it is an inherent defect of the human species.

Because people are profit-seeking creatures, small profits are wealth, medium profits are fame, and great profits are righteousness. Merchants are based on small profits, so short-sightedness and weakness are particularly obvious in merchants.

Merchants are good at chasing profit, they are born out of profit, and profit is their company.

They are extremely susceptible to temptation and go astray. Under the current social background, it is very easy for them to break through the bottom line and rules for immediate benefit in the absence of restraint.

Such as looting, smuggling, and the sale of stolen goods.

Anyone who goes against the mainstream will end, and most people understand this truth. However, the nature of capital is destined for merchants to be tempted. Towns run by merchants will gradually turn to the wrong path of development, until criminals and criminals become the mainstream, and towns are at the end of their lives.

Regularization is the only correct way for commercial towns to prosper for a long time.

Joining a country, bringing in the country’s mandatory constraints and legal concepts, becomes the shackles of merchants and the shackles of citizens.

At first glance, Lorraine will lose a lot, including administrative rights, legislative rights and a portion of taxes.

But Miami will become a place where there is law, and Drake's foundation will be prosperous for a long time.

Lorraine patted his face lightly.

"Spain is reluctant to enter Miami. On the one hand, it is not optimistic about the development of Miami and does not want to stimulate the Indians. On the other hand, because of the rapid development of Miami, the Drake Chamber of Commerce has too much control over Lianzhen."

"Then let Britain take over the administration of Miami... No, Spain will go crazy."

"If Miami is completely handed over to Spain ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the Chamber of Commerce becomes a resident and guest... it won't work, and I am not being taken advantage of."

"Then keep it as it is... In recent years, it hasn't been a problem. If it exceeds 10 years, it will be detrimental to the development of Miami."

"When will the United States free up to clean up Florida?"

"It really doesn't work... Where's Jianguo?"

Speaking of this, Lorraine raised Noya's little hand and slapped himself with a slap, scaring Noya...

But Lorraine didn't realize it, and continued to talk to herself.

"In the 18th century, we sought to establish a nation in North America... Although Spain is indeed much better bully than the United Kingdom, Miami is far behind the 13 states, and the Drake Chamber of Commerce is not as good as the Continental Congress."

"Nothing will work, do you still have to talk to the Spaniard?"

"Carmen... Counting the time, she should be back too, right?"
