"Go home feeling good!"

Lawrence raised his head and made an intoxicated expression. After drifting on the sea for a long time, he especially missed the feeling of being down to earth.

The size of Port Deegan is increasing day by day. There is an area dedicated to docking warships, which is larger than the entire port in the past.

The ocean-going fleet returned, and the port was very lively at this time.

Gunboats, large and small, cruised on the sea.

All the artillery in the fort also adjusted their directions.

Lawrence glanced subconsciously and found that there were 50% more than when he left last time.

If anyone really has ulterior motives, they will be blasted to pieces by artillery fire in no time.

Even the army has not completed the replacement of artillery, which is not a rarity here.

Everything is value-oriented. The port can bring a large amount of silver, so it will naturally be over-armed.

Andrew arrived quickly. As the current customs commissioner, he no longer needed to deal with ordinary matters, but Lawrence was different.

"Sir Andrew!"

Lawrence was the first to salute, not only because of the power in the opponent's hands, but also because of the Duke.

Andrew smiled and nodded. He never thought that his ordinary life could be turned around. Suddenly he was in a high position. He didn't get carried away and smiled at everyone.

Of course, this is because he knows where his family's future lies, and it would be bad if he offended others and affected his son's future.

"Sir Lawrence, thank you for your hard work. Please move down the knickknacks you brought. I'm going to arrange for someone to count the goods." Andrew said with a smile.

This was allowed by his nephew. They were working hard overseas and it was reasonable to give them an extra chance to make money.

He won't be jealous, and his family is not short of money, so there is no need to be jealous of this thing.

Lawrence was prepared, and the crew moved the things down excitedly. Of course... they would never bring anything sensitive.

Silver... In terms of volume, you can earn more by bringing other things.

Watching the customs soldiers supervising the crew's transportation, Lawrence's eyes stayed on the other party's waist for a few seconds, and then, as if by magic, he took out a pair of daggers from his arms.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't trying to assassinate Andrew.

Holding the dagger in each hand, he raised it horizontally and handed it to Andrew.

"Sir, here's a little something for you to play with."

In order to show the ordinaryness of the gift, there is not even a box.

But... Andrew glanced at it. The snow-white dagger was made from the teeth of some kind of animal. It was obviously worth a lot of money.

"Lawrence, there's no need to be so polite." Andrew was really unmoved.

"If you don't follow some rules, it will be difficult for the people below." Lawrence replied with a smile.

Andrew thought for a while, then noticed the looks from around him, and reached out to take it.

"It's a good thing, I feel ashamed to receive it."

Such an aboveboard gift is actually legal and reasonable.

Seeing that the bosses had all accepted it, the crew members immediately distributed gifts one by one.

Except for the soldiers, all customs staff received some small items.

Small trinkets made from cooperative gemstones, feathers and teeth are all worth a bit of money.

The gift is not heavy, but it is an extra bonus.

Although entrainment is allowed by the Duke, eating alone is definitely not a good idea.

Jealousy together may cause bad things to happen to you.

Lawrence knew people's hearts well and could not forget this.

As for why the soldiers didn't give it, that's of a different nature.

Your Excellency the Duke's soldiers, what do you mean by paying for them?

Andrew noticed this detail, and when the handover was completed, he signed and confirmed Brack's sealed handover form.

Then the soldiers were ordered to assemble, and a knight officer stood at the front as the leader.

"Thank you for your hard work. Open a box. This is given to you by the Duke." Andrew said.

When the rough wooden box is pried open, give a silver bar to one team and take it back and divide it among yourself.

The soldiers had been jealous for a long time, but now they had benefited from it, and their morale suddenly exploded.

When the soldiers were disbanded, the energy and energy visible to the naked eye were different.

Lawrence had not objected before, but now he reminded: "Sir, I have given you something. Don't look for me if the Duke finds that it is missing."

Of course he was not shirking responsibility, he was just reminding Andrew tactfully.

Andrew naturally had his own considerations and replied calmly: "I will write to the Duke to explain the situation, and I can't rely on you."

"That's good." Lawrence squinted his eyes. A lot can be seen from the details here. The Commissioner is really trusted by the Duke.

After leaving customs, I had a long vacation.

Lawrence sent people to deliver the items brought to the families of overseas personnel and remind them to sell them in batches.

In a short period of time, a large number of overseas goods will be on the market, and discounts are inevitable.

Then, he finished driving to Swan Castle.

The Duke wants to see him.

In the Swan Castle, Derek had received a lot of information before Lawrence arrived.

I even have a rough understanding of what the other party said when they met those people.

Everything is difficult to hide.

This is the Northland, Duke Leopold's territory.

But when I glanced at the data panel, the name and avatar were still there.

It's normal to be a little selfish.

Two days later, Derek met Lawrence in the study.

First, he asked Lawrence about his physical condition and listened to his suggestions along the route, such as where to strengthen military forces and where to send more people to occupy land. Only those who have experienced it can clearly understand it.

"The New World is crucial. It is not a desolate and barren land.

We have the upper hand, but we already have competitors.

Your mission is very important. Maybe you think that large-scale immigration will happen a hundred years later, but I need to tell you that this time will not be too long."

Derek walked around the desk and walked to the huge map hanging on the wall.

"You are my loyal knight, I can tell you some secrets.

In the past three years, the birth rate of infants in the North has doubled, and the death rate has dropped by 30%, and this trend is still expanding.

In addition, a master craftsman is studying a new type of ship. In the future, it may only take one month to travel between the two continents. Do you understand?"

Lawrence suddenly raised his head. This was the first time he heard this news.

The population explosion, coupled with less time spent on the road, means that large-scale immigration only takes one generation.

At that time, he was still in his prime. In the New World, there were large tracts of land, which could be divided among countless nobles.

Baron was just the starting point, earl was not a dream, and even dukes could be many.

The huge temptation made him excited.

"Duke, I will not disappoint your expectations and work hard to clear all obstacles on the sea for you."

"That's right, don't let the sea wear down your ambition," Derek grabbed him and patted his shoulder, whispering: "There is also money, there is no need to take it so seriously, I have sent someone to send you a box of silver coins home.

Next time, don't give people bad advice, those gadgets overseas are sold in batches, and my men who work hard for me are so poor, I can't afford to lose this person."
