Heaven’s Intention

In June, the sun became more and more vicious. At the bustling coastal port, many workers are working quietly. Their confused faces, together with their withered complexions, emaciated bodies, and restless expressions, form a scene of distress and distress. .

It is far away from Yuanfan Town, and it takes at least ten days to reach Viscount Tertashaw from here. Because of the evil disaster in the area, the people in this small country are generally living in extreme hardship. Only the port area is a little bit more peaceful, but the people living here are also living very hard.

The reason for this situation is partly due to the outbreak of the evil disaster, and partly due to the short-sightedness of the local lord.

Before the catastrophe broke out, because the prosperity of the port and the profits dazzled the lord, he ordered a lot of agricultural land to be converted into commercial use, and taverns, hotels, and gardens were built. In the entire port town, there were no One inch of land is devoted to crop cultivation. As a result, when the evil disaster broke out, the business of the port town plummeted, and now it is only living on its old savings.

The people who live here usually rely on working at the docks to make a living. Now that there is a catastrophe in the mainland, the royal family and the major nobles can't care about opening up new sea routes to protect the old ones. Even the existing navy has invested in it. in land warfare.

Without the maintenance of the navy, the pirates on the sea have gradually become rampant. Whenever a caravan passes by, they will be forced to pay a high amount of money to buy the road, otherwise, everyone will die.

Under such circumstances, some business firms with spare money and food have gradually moved to areas where the evil disaster is not very serious.

The former prosperous port is gradually coming to an end, and the sea route is gradually drying up.

The direct consequence of this situation is that the people in small towns who live by the port are struggling day by day.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Since a special fleet passed by the port several times, people's lives have become a little better, and some clever people have left with the caravan. A land of abundance.

For this kind of thing, most of the port residents do not believe it, in their opinion. The world is the same now, is there really a non-pirate country that is not plagued by evil disasters?

Those who actually had contact with that fleet believed in their status as officials and businessmen.

I said, boy, is it time for that caravan to come again? We have to vacate the clean room quickly. They are the most important customers in the store now. If we offend them, our store can only wait to close down. It's gone. In the small port town, the owner of a certain hotel was counting the books with a sad face,

He told the guy next to him to be careful.

Boss, the room has already been cleaned up. Apart from them coming to live, we don't have any other guests here. Oh, it's always like this, what should we do? The young man with a mature face sighed and said .

It can be seen that he has a good relationship with the boss's family, and the boss just slapped him on the head when he said such frustrating words. What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go to the port again. See if they're here. Don't let other families steal it this time.

Now the shop business in the whole small town is very bad, and there are six hotels in this small town, and the colleagues are enemies, not to mention that in this economic downturn, it is not easy for my family because my nephew is in one of those guests. He took the advantage of this person by seeking an errand on the merchant ship. If he was pried into the business by other people, then he would not have to open any business.

That's right, boss, I'll go right away. The young man naturally understood this truth, knowing that if the hotel collapsed, his family would have to drink the northwest wind.

Put the rag in the water bucket, stretched a pair of calves, and ran towards the outside of the town.

As soon as the guy went out, a middle-aged man dressed slightly better than the average townsman walked in from the outside: Hey, what is your little guy doing here? He runs so fast.

Oh, isn't this Boss Henry? Why did you come to my store? The innkeeper replied angrily.

I said, brother, haven't I been busy a while ago? I heard that your distant nephew went with the caravan last time? He is just fourteen years old, so don't worry, what if he is deceived by that pirate? But what should we do? Boss Henry smiled and leaned over to ask.

Pirate? Hmph, it's not like you haven't seen him last time. Such a magnificent person, could he be a pirate? The innkeeper snorted disdainfully, and continued to be busy with his work.

Hehe, brother. I just want to make sure again. You know this. I have three sons who were originally helping in the store. However, it's not like you don't know about the business in this town. It's really I'm a little sad, my third child doesn't want to just stay at home like this, but wants to go out to see the world, you see, can you... Boss Henry was a little embarrassed to continue.

You mean, you also want your third son to go out with my nephew? When those people arrive in the town, why don't you come to me? The innkeeper was a little unhappy.

Isn't this an extra acquaintance to take care of? Don't tell me, you can rest assured that your nephew is alone? Boss Henry is a businessman, and he is still very good at talking.

These words really reached the innkeeper's heart, and he nodded: Okay, when they come, I'll ask that kid to ask.

Hey, thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Greetings here. At the port, there was still no movement. The waiting workers were a little panicked, not knowing what happened at sea.

At this moment, on the sea about ten miles away from this port, six merchant ships are driving quietly behind more than a dozen warships, and pairs of vigilant eyes are on the deck, constantly looking at the surrounding sea area. Sweeping, palms tightly holding the weapon at the waist. Be ready to deal with all emergencies at any time.

As early as half a day ago, through some secret channels, they got the news that a large group of pirates wanted to intercept merchant ships. They came together, and these navies hated pirates, and most of them were caravans in their own territories who sought protection. They were very generous to let them join their ranks and provide guarantees for their safety.

As a warship navy that has fought against pirates at sea several times, this is the first time that it has gone to sea with a merchant ship at the same time, but they can maintain a basic tacit understanding. Pirates along the way.

In this sea area, everything was relatively calm, but when the team was just approaching the port, a small-scale pirate attack was brutally displayed in front of everyone.

The attackers were a well-known local pirate team, with over ten warships. Unfortunately, what they encountered was the powerful Royal Navy. Under the bombardment of the Royal Navy, they left two ships behind. Run away in embarrassment.

When they arrived at the port, it was getting late, and the deputy governor decided to rest at the port that day. Thousands of refugees were carried on the battleship, and most of the soldiers were resting on board, protecting and supervising these people.

The leading officials and those businessmen had no scruples and stayed in the town that night.

As soon as the boat docked, the boy's eyes lit up and he ran over, but unfortunately, he was frightened by the tough navy as soon as he got there, until he saw his boss' nephew walking off the boat, he didn't fart. Dianpidian ran over.

Let's go. We'll talk when we get back. Seeing that it was his own boy, the young man who got off the boat smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, pulled him, and walked back.

The boss said, that guest...

Don't worry, I've made an agreement with the principals of the commercial firm. They will come to our shop for consumption in a while. This business cannot be lost. The young man said in a soft voice.

That's good, that's good! Seeing that his task had been completed, the young man couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He was short in stature, and he was thinking about things, so he didn't see the strange expression on the young man's face when he looked towards his hometown.

After returning to the shop, the neighbors on the left and right heard that the brave kid who followed the caravan came back, and they all came to see him. When they saw that he was wearing decent clothes and had a good life, they all wanted to join him. thought.

After they all left, the innkeeper pulled the boy to his room and closed the door.

How is it? Is that place really as the news said, quiet, peaceful, and conducive to development? The boss, who is always amiable and rich, straightened his waist and sharpened his eyes. He stared at the young man in front of him and said softly. ask.

Boss, that place does have great potential for development. Not only does it have a large population, but some local lords are also very open-minded. Especially the Viscount Tetashaw I went to, it pays more attention to business development than other places. In the boss In front of him, the nephew replied very respectfully.

Well, that's good, that's good...you did a good job this time.

Patting the young man on the shoulder, the boss said: Boss means, let you continue to investigate the situation there as my nephew. If it is really suitable, our underground business firm should also move. After all, a stable environment, It is suitable for the safety of the business.

Master, please don't worry, I will definitely work hard. Hearing the boss's praise, the boy's eyes lit up and he was busy.

Well, you've been busy for a while, go and rest, pay attention, our firm is different from those little fleas on the surface, don't let the secret out, otherwise... The boss narrowed his eyes.

The young man hurriedly said: Please rest assured, Master, I will not betray the firm.

After the boy went down, the old man took out a small box from a hidden place in the room and began to write a letter. (!)
