"Another wonderful day, wasn't it? Dear Elizabeth."

In the Governor's Office of Port Royal, Governor Swan, wearing a curly wig on his head, woke up his daughter of the lazy bed and opened the curtains hanging in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Well~ Father!"

The beautiful girl with a blond hair was finally seated from the bed and protested in dissatisfaction.

Governor Swan said to his daughter gently: "Get up quickly, you still have lady courses to complete today."

"I know."

Elizabeth Swan patted the quilt in depressed state: "You go out first, I want to change my clothes."

“Yes yes ~”

Governor Swan smiled and walked out with his hands behind his back: "My daughter has grown up, and I know to avoid suspicion."

"Father!"

With the help of the maids, the young Elizabeth dressed.

Due to the influence of the Renaissance trend, Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries gradually got rid of the ascetic thought of the Holy See and began to liberate people's nature.

...Of course, the so-called abstinence is the skill of the facade. The decayed life of the medieval aristocrats was not much better than the 18th century when they advocated humanity.

Contemporary European women's clothing is deeply influenced by the Baroque style, with ribbons and laces very popular, and women even like to embellish pearls on their clothes as decorations.

As far away from London, which is the center of British fashion, the clothing style of the Jamaican colonies is relatively backward, and the corsets that are already very popular in the UK have not yet emerged.

After dressing, Elizabeth followed the floor-to-ceiling windows pushed open by her father to the balcony. The back of the island far away from the city still maintained a relatively primitive natural scenery.

"Suck~"

Taking a deep breath of fresh air with a little sea breath, Elizabeth showed a comfortable smile on her face.

"Indeed, it's another wonderful day... It would be better if I could escape that damn lady class."

Elizabeth has spent several years away from her native colonies since her father took office as governor of Port Royal, and the prevalence of ladylikeness in London did not affect her.

Compared to becoming a famous lady, Elizabeth, who has been curious since childhood, yearns for an unrestrained life.

In Xin Sheng's words, this young lady has not yet been beaten by society and has unrealistic fantasies about the so-called freedom.

"There is a saying that is good, what you can't get is the best, right, rhubarb?"

"Woo?"

The dog could not understand what his owner meant and tilted his head to reveal a puzzled expression.

At this time, Xin Sheng stood on a small hill on the back of the Governor's Mansion, using Hawkeye technique to connect Daedalus's perspective to observe the situation of the Governor's Mansion from the air.

Elizabeth's face was full of yearning for ideals and depression that she had to face reality, and her complex expression was seen by Xin Sheng.

Xin Sheng has watched 1-5 episodes of Pirates of the Caribbean and is quite familiar with the character Elizabeth Swan.

This young girl has a yearning for a free life in her heart. She is rebellious by nature and especially likes a life of recklessness like a pirate.

Perhaps it is because the life of a pirate and her cage-like bird is on both sides of the front and back of things.

"The diode girl thought that everything in the world was either black or white, but she didn't know that the gray mixed with black and white was the mainstream of human society."

After eagle-eye surgery, Xin Sheng rubbed Dahuang's head: "Let's go, come to the door and ask for a meeting."

"I hope that the Governor has no racial discrimination, otherwise... I can only start a backup plan."

...

"Sheng Xin?"

A new batch of Spanish merchant ships have just set off from Havana, Cuba, to prepare to transport the colonial specialties such as tobacco, coffee beans and sugar back to Europe for sale.

At this time, Britain was still competing with countries such as Spain and the Netherlands for Europe's maritime hegemony. The triangular golden route between Europe, the New World and Africa laid the foundation for Spain's prosperity.

Later generations also called the so-called golden triangle routes of the Europeans the Black Triangle Trade.

European merchant ships loaded goods such as salt, cloth and rum in their own country to Africa, and exchanged goods for black slaves through population trade.

Then the black slaves were transported from Africa to the New World and sold them to local farmers who grow tobacco and sugarcane. They exchanged sugar, tobacco, rice and other goods in the New World to return to Europe, thus entering an infinite triangle cycle.

In order to slow down the efficiency of other countries in seizing profits, countries have recruited privateers in the Caribbean.

Once the tailwind season is suitable for returning to Europe, a large number of merchant ships will set off from the New World and the Caribbean Sea in groups and cross the vast Atlantic Ocean to return to Europe.

When Xin Sheng arrived at Port Royal, it was the time for merchant ships to return, and it was also the most active period for pirates and privateers in the year.

Spain's power in the New World and the Caribbean is still overwhelming. The United Kingdom, which occupys Jamaica, is very jealous of Spain's profits and recruits privateers every time this season.

Governor Swan frowned and looked at the face in front of him: "You really have a boat? It's not a fishing boat, right?"

Yellow people are very rare in the Caribbean, and it is normal for Governor Swan to have suspicion.

Xin Sheng was a little dissatisfied with the contempt in the governor's subconscious mind, but in order for the smooth implementation of the follow-up plan, he was still patient for the time being.

"The port official should have registered my ship, and the name is Jackdaw. Mr. Governor may wish to check it out."

Governor Swan looked through the records of port officials in a skeptical way: "The Jackdaw... has it."

"The Galen sailing ship with a total length of 65 meters and a width of 12 meters is equipped with 46 16-pound cannons... Are they true or false?"

If the records are correct, the firepower of the Jackdaw can be considered top among civilian armed merchant ships.

"Cough~"

The suspected port official looked a little constipated: "His Governor, although it sounds unbelievable, I swear in the name of King William III that these data are true."

Governor Swan has a more straightforward personality, or... is rather stupid, but this does not mean that he is stupid.

Noting the bad-looking face of the port officials, the Governor hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Sorry, Charles, I didn't doubt you, but I didn't expect this... Ship owner Xin could have such an excellent armed merchant ship."

Privateing permits are not issued casually. Each copy will be named as the king and will be signed and approved by the local top administrative officials and sealed to take effect.

"Well~ It's your first time applying for a privateer license, so I'll talk about some precautions first."

Governor Swan said, "1. Regardless of whether the privateer is successful or not, the UK will not admit that privateers are employed by our country."

"2. The goods obtained from privateer must be auctioned at the designated market in Port Royal, and the property obtained will be distributed to the authorized state and the ship owner in a certain proportion."

“We will not directly participate in how the owners and sailors distribute the harvest ratio, at the discretion of the employer.”

Governor Swan said in an official manner: "Ship owner, it is your first privateer task. According to regulations, the income distribution of authorized countries and ship owners is 4 to 6. Do you have no objection?"

Xin Sheng couldn't help but complain in his heart: "The authorized country can get a 40% commission without paying anything? No wonder pirates who don't need to pay are so rampant...'

However, there are still some differences in the nature of privateers and pirates.

After obtaining the privateing permit, Xin Sheng's robbery against the enemy country became a semi-official nature. He would not be held accountable by the authorized state for robbery. He did not have to worry about being ill-fighted when selling goods. It can be regarded as paying money to buy after-sales service.

Governor Swan welcomed and sent many privateers. He had already figured out what the ship owner, who was mixed with these ingredients, was just thinking that the division was too low.

"This is a rule for newcomers. If you can complete the task multiple times, the share ratio will be further increased, and it is not impossible to be officially recruited into the Royal Fleet in the end."
