    In the simple Governor's Mansion, Tian Erniu is handling official duties. He now wears multiple hats, including fleet commander, governor of Hong Kong, and at the same time, he is also responsible for the affairs of Golden Continent. It can be said that he is very busy.

    "There is a big outbreak of smallpox here in Huanghuangzhou~"

    "This is a troublesome thing. If the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire were destroyed by smallpox, our Ming Dynasty would not be able to obtain a large amount of gold and silver every year."

    "Well, I must write to the young master and let him make the decision."

    Tian Erniu couldn't help but frowned when he read the letter from Huanghuangzhou. He didn't know why, but this smallpox broke out among the descendants of the Yin Shang in Huanghuangzhou, and more and more people died.  The more there are, the wider the spread area is, and the trend is already unstoppable.

    In contrast, although people in the Ming Dynasty were also afraid of smallpox, the mortality rate after getting smallpox was much lower than that of descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Only one or two out of ten people in the Ming Dynasty who got smallpox would die. If treated in time, they might not die.

    But when the descendants of the Yin Shang got smallpox, the mortality rate was frighteningly high, almost certain to death. This made Tian Erniu feel very strange, as if the smallpox virus liked the descendants of the Yin Shang in Huanghuangzhou.

    At the same time, Tian Erniu was also very worried, because he had more than twenty concubines in Golden Continent, almost all of them were descendants of the Yin Shang, and he also had dozens of children, all of whom were descendants of the Yin Shang.

    Thinking of this, Tian Erniu also quickly picked up his pen and started writing a letter to Liu Jin who was far away in the Ming Dynasty. Now there are special ships traveling between Europe and Golden Continent. He can take the letter back to Golden Continent first, and then ask someone to take it back to Daming.  .

    Of course, due to the effective elimination of pirates, the route has become safer. From South Africa, a small number of merchant ships have arrived in Europe, and they can also be asked to bring letters back to the Ming Dynasty.

    "The monkeys actually competed with the Ottoman pirates in the Mediterranean~"

    "It is still not appropriate to get involved in the grievances in the Mediterranean. It is enough to occupy a colony on the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar. There is no need to get involved in the grievances in the Mediterranean."

    Soon, Tian Erniu continued to read letters. Recently, he also received letters from the Mediterranean. The thirty-five battleships led by Zhao Houhou were almost unruly in the Mediterranean, and they also colluded with the pirates of the Ottoman Empire.  On.

    He took out his pen and ink and quickly wrote a letter to Zhao Houhou. He came to Europe not to fight pirates for the Europeans, but to fight for Ming's interests in Europe.

    "The Spaniards failed to attack France, but the French King Louis XII still expressed the intention of peace talks. Well, he should be afraid that I will join the attack on France."

    "The Spanish are really planning to do it. They hope that I can send troops to Paris, and they also protest that our policy in Hong Kong has violated the agreement on Spain's exclusive trade rights."

    "Bullshit, the agreement on exclusive trade rights is about to expire. Our Ming Dynasty will never sign such an agreement with you again."

    "Well, I'm tired of staying here in Europe. Forget about peace talks as soon as possible. I can also go back to Golden Continent, and then back to the Ming Dynasty. I haven't returned to the Ming Dynasty for several years."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Tian Erniu is also quickly planning what to do next.

    "My Lord Governor, we are ready to recruit fifty officers. I need you to go over for interviews."

    At this time, Pablo knocked on the door of Tian Erniu¡¯s office.

    "Okay~"

    Tian Erniu nodded slightly and put down the document in his hand.

    Soon, Tian Erniu came to a room where someone was already waiting.

    "Let's get started~"

    Tian Erniu said while sitting on the main seat.

    "Yes~"

    Pablo nodded quickly, then came outside and shouted: "William, the first interviewer!"

    Soon, a man with a big beard and long hair, wearing rags and looking dirty came in.

    "My Lord Governor, all your lords~"

    William took off his hat and bowed to Tian Erniu and others.

    "Are you William?"

    Tian Erniu looked at William and asked in English. Tian Erniu has also been learning English recently and can do some simple conversations.

    "Yes, I didn't expect the Governor to speak English~"

    William replied somewhat surprised.

    "I just learned it, and my teaching is not very good~"

    Tian Erniu smiled and then motioned for him to sit down.

    &nbsI have been learning the Ming Dynasty dialect and writing, and even prepared to translate the Bible into Chinese characters after learning it well, and then spread it to the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, this is all a matter for the future. This time I came to Tian Erniu mainly to discuss the church¡¯s spread and taxation in Hong Kong.

    According to the laws issued by the Governor's Office of Hong Kong, people here in Hong Kong only need to pay agricultural tax and land tax to the Governor's Office. If they do business, they need to pay additional commercial tax. In addition, they do not need to pay anything else.  tax.

    This is extremely bad news for the church, because the Governor-General has not stated whether the church can continue to collect taxes from the people, and many people have stopped paying tithes to the church.

    In addition, Falmouth, as the core place of Hong Kong, does not have a church now, which is definitely not possible. This time he came here to confirm with Tian Erniu whether the church still has the power to tax, and the other is to hope  The Governor's Palace can fund the construction of a cathedral here in Falmouth to spread the glory of the Lord.

    If possible, he also hopes that the Governor's Mansion can write a letter to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to allow Catholicism to spread in Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
