Chapter 68: His Majesty the King
"Welcome to Liming Port, my friend!" Sitting on the chair, Li Qingyuan nodded slightly to Barbosa.
Since the last time he sank the British fleet, he has replaced the name of Port Royal for Port Dawn, because the city has no longer had any connection with the British in the future!
It is said that after learning that the West Sea Fleet was wiped out three liters of blood and almost died on the spot.
After waking up, he was originally planning to gamble and send all the remaining fleets to the Caribbean to continue fighting, but was opposed by the whole parliament.
Fifty warships accounted for almost one-third of Britain's military strength, and such a huge fleet was defeated. Before they could find out Li Qingyuan's strength, the British would never dare to act rashly.
The British did not dare to move, and the Spanish and French did not want to move. Although the person occupying Port Royal was an Oriental, from the perspective of the entire Western interest group, it should be a boycott.
But what is the so-called righteousness?
In recent years, people's brains almost became dog-like in the Three Kingdoms, making the Spaniards and the French pay for the British, which was simply delusional.
So a few days ago when Li Qingyuan held the so-called throne ceremony, the Spanish and French sent people to send gifts!
"Have you seen His Majesty the King!" Barbosa bowed to the end and saluted to Li Qingyuan.
After more than two months of efforts by Governor Swan, the area of Dawn Port has expanded five times more than before, and the total population has reached a terrifying number of 100,000.
In the eyes of the Chinese, a population of 100,000 is probably just a town, but in the eyes of the Europeans, it is enough to establish a country.
Of course, such countries are generally principalities, such as the British Prince of Wales or the meaning of the King of Naples.
Li Qingyuan had no interest in playing house like a child. He was about to leave after completing his mission. Who cares about such a position as a broken king?
But he couldn't stand the Governor Swan's intention to become the king's grandfather, so he agreed with the flow.
Anyway, he doesn't need to work hard. All the trivial matters are prepared by his servants. He just needs to attend the National Day celebration. So why do you want to sweep the confidence of his subordinates!
What's more, becoming king is definitely a sure-making deal!
First of all, the morale of all his subordinates doubled instantly. The British soldiers who had originally surrendered under the situation have now transformed into founding heroes of the new kingdom, and each burst out with 25% of their enthusiasm, which has completely renovated the entire Dawn Port.
In Li Qingyuan's vision, Liming Port is a compatible port. No matter which country you are, no matter whether you are a navy or a pirate, as long as you enter the scope of Liming Port, you must follow the rules of Liming Port.
Although Tortuga and Shipwreck Bay are pirate holy places, those two places cannot develop at all because they believe in absolute chaos.
As we all know, absolute chaos cannot develop at all, and only neutral order can go faster and farther.
By taking advantage of the reputation of defeating the British fleet in one battle, there was no one who was not afraid of death to come to Dawn Port for trouble in a short period of time. However, those trivial matters such as pirates fighting and eating in Dawn Port are endless.
These little things seem to be no big deal, but in the long run, it has affected the reputation of Port Lai!
Originally, no matter how he repeatedly made the orders, the law enforcement teams under him were weak and listless, and the efficiency of arresting people was like temporary workers in the Celestial Empire dealing with inspections.
Although Li Qingyuan was so angry that he could not help but be helpless. He couldn't let him lead the team to catch people every day, right?
But now, the law enforcement team, which has gone from a prisoner to a founding hero, is now like a chicken blood. Not to mention fighting, even those who spit everywhere will be arrested and swept the streets for three days.
As for whether those arrested pirates dare to resist?
Those who can sail on the sea are not fools. They don’t know ones, two, three, and four, but they still know who has a bigger fist.
Isn’t it just sweeping the streets? It’s always ten thousand times better than hanging, right?
The entire Port of Dawn was spotless. When Barbosa was docking just now, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place!
Secondly, Elizabeth Swan's attitude towards him has also changed these days.
I don’t know if Governor Swan’s persuasion these days has worked, or if the title of queen really makes women crazy, or if Elizabeth awakens some strange attributes.
Anyway, her attitude has gradually changed during this period. Although she has not reached the level of communication with just one look, at least she doesn’t have to wear braces at night!
"Captain Barbosa, what do you think of the current Dawn Port?" Li Qingyuan asked when he ordered the servant to arrange a seat for Barbosa.
He just likes this guy in the entire Caribbean Pirates world.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Barbosa is not a qualified trading partner, but in his opinion.
Pirates must look like pirates, and Barbosa is a serious pirate.
Jack Sparrow?
That guy is like the one named Mengqi in the script next door, who is here to make things difficult for the great cause of pirates.
"It's very good, even better than London and Lisbon. I think even Venice is not as prosperous as the prosperity of Port Dawn!" Barbosa sighed sincerely.
Liming Port is located in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. In addition, Li Qingyuan announced the abolition of the passing tax on ships, in just a few months, Liming Port has become a must-pass place for all ships traveling to and from the New World.
After all, a good harbor with strong strength can ensure the safety of all merchant ships and the absence of passing taxes will not be able to find a second one even if you search through the world!
When Li Qingyuan announced that the ship pass tax was exempted from the tax on ships, everyone, including Governor Swan, expressed strong opposition, because the port did not collect ship tax, which was beyond everyone's understanding.
What do they eat without taxes?
But after two months of trial operation, everyone now has to write a big word for server!
The economy of Dawn Port is almost the same every day. Although there is no passing tax on ships, the commercial taxes that bring money to the tax authorities to dump products and sell goods have been lenient.
Although the current Port of Dawn may not be as good as ancient cities like London or Lisbon in terms of heritage, it can be compared with Venice in terms of development prospects at least.
"Barbosa, I have a question to ask you!"
"What are your instructions, your Majesty!"
"If I want to become a pirate emperor, what conditions should I need?" After thinking about it alone for a while, he had no idea. Li Qingyuan felt that it would be better to ask the person involved directly.
Chapter completed!
