    Hong Kong, the sea breeze from the warm Atlantic current blows in waves. In the past, it would definitely cause a lot of complaints, similar to the damn weather, the damn wind and so on.

    For the Falmouth fishermen who originally only relied on fishing out to sea for a living, the weather is really important.

    But now, the people who are busy in the port are all tired and sweating. In the winter, many people are even so hot that they only wear a single coat and work very diligently.

    "Hoo~"

    ¡°Cool~¡±

    Tom and Jack were carrying a big stone. They were exhausted and sweating profusely. When a gust of wind blew, they felt so comfortable that they couldn't help shouting.

    Since Cornwall was ceded to the Ming Dynasty, the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Tian Erniu, began large-scale construction in Falmouth Port.

    Under this series of infrastructure measures, including the Governor's Palace, the Garrison Palace, forts, ports, roads, etc., a large amount of gold and silver was poured down, which also made the entire Falmaus Port prosper and lively quickly.

    There are a large number of people from all over Cornwall who come here to work, because working here, the income is high and very stable.

    Fifty coppers per day plus two kilograms of flour, such a high salary, immediately attracted tens of thousands of people to come here to work, and the entire Falmouth Port became a large construction site.

    In addition to the large number of construction projects that have attracted people from Cornwall to work, this is because it is already under the jurisdiction of the Ming Empire and is an overseas territory of the Ming Empire. In addition, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Spain and the Three Kingdoms has basically been achieved.  Victory, the maritime power of Portugal, England, and France suffered a heavy blow.

    And Falmaus is a place that belongs to the Ming Dynasty. The strong men of the Ming Dynasty have now spread throughout Europe, and almost no one dares to offend them. Therefore, it has also attracted a large number of businessmen to come to Falmaus to do business.

    Among them, some ships from the Ming Dynasty transported a large amount of goods from the Ming Dynasty to Hong Kong, which further promoted the prosperity here and attracted a large number of merchants to come here.

    Suddenly, the entire Hong Kong was crowded with merchant ships from Western European countries, and a large amount of supplies were gathered, including flour from the Holy Roman Empire, wine from France, olive oil from Venice, Italy, etc. Even Portugal had begun selling slaves to Hong Kong.  Come trade here.

    As local aborigines, Tom and Jack naturally enjoyed many benefits.

    One of the biggest benefits is that the price of food has dropped rapidly. You can buy a pound of flour for a few copper coins. You can easily earn more than ten pounds of flour in a day's work. The family can have enough to eat every day, and there is still plenty to eat.  It's good bread instead of the dark and hard bread before.

    Low taxes, guaranteed safety, and prosperous business have allowed this place to develop rapidly.

    In less than a month, the entire Falmaus has undergone earth-shaking changes.

    The wharf, which was originally only used to park small fishing boats, has been rapidly expanded to be able to park large ships to meet the daily needs of ships. At the same time, a large number of people can make a living as porters at the wharf.

    It used to be a dilapidated small fishing village with very muddy roads. The cement from Yaoyuan Daming quickly paved a spacious, clean and tidy cement road. Now everyone likes to chat on this road when they have nothing to do. There are also new constructions on both sides of the road.  A few big taverns.

    Forts and watchtowers were built on both sides of the port. The cannons showed their ferocious appearance, frightening all the young people.

    A tall lighthouse was built here in the port. Old John from the fishing village became the first tower keeper. It was a formal and close job. He went to the lighthouse to light the lamp every night, and then added whale oil from time to time.  Therefore, you can receive one silver dollar as payment from the Governor's Mansion every month, which is enough to ensure Old John's living needs.

    According to the custom here in Ming Dynasty, there is a person who is dedicated to answering the clock every night. This job falls to Old Bill. He needs to walk around every night to remind everyone what to order at that time.

    Old Bill can also receive one silver dollar per month, which is enough to support Old Bill and his wife.

    In addition to Old John and Old Bill, there are more than ten people who have become servants here in the Government House, working for the Governor of the Government House. Everyone has a good income, which is considered a decent job.

    ??This series of changes is visible to everyone. Although everyone is somewhat resistant to the sudden change from English people to Ming people, the changes in life are real and can be seen.

    &nbspLook, I can¡¯t believe this news.

    Then, without any hesitation, the two people immediately raised their hands and said loudly: "I want to sign up, I want to sign up~"

    The people around also raised their hands and rushed to be the first. After all, the Sheriff and the Tax Collector were also officials, and they also worked for the Governor's Mansion, so they were not ordinary people. Naturally, everyone would not miss this opportunity.  .

    "Okay, okay, come and sign up~"

    "Everyone, please think about it carefully first. You have learned those words of the Ming Dynasty during this period. There will be an assessment later. In addition, everyone knows those things about the Ming Dynasty. The more you know, the higher the probability of being selected.  big."

    When the translator saw it, he immediately smiled and said to everyone.

    When many people heard this, they were slightly dumbfounded, and then quickly started communicating with the people around them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
