Chapter 33 Set sail for the expedition [Cute newbies, please recommend and collect]

On April 50, around Wenduobao, which is located at about [-] degrees north latitude, the sharp spring cold stung the lazy nerves of people who had been sleeping all winter.

At this time, Rey was commanding several black slave overseers to supervise the black slaves who began to drive the draft horses to plow the fields on the cultivated land that had become warmer. Although spring had arrived, the cultivated land was still very cold and hard, even if it was plowed. Even after plowing, the soil was still frozen into large lumps, so they had to use hoes to crush them.Behind them are some Indians carrying cloth bags. They bury the tubers in the loose soil and then bury them.

Surrounding the farmland are some fully armed young white slaves who have just come of age (this type of white slaves will be collectively referred to as domestic slaves from now on). They are carefully watching these slaves work and are alert to the phenomenon of escaped slaves. (For these domestic slaves adopted since childhood, they feel that they are members of the Rhodes family, have a strong sense of belonging to the Rhodes family, and feel that they are very different from other people (slaves))

In the cultivated fields, the black slave overseers stared fiercely at the fellows who drove the horses to plow the fields and pounded the soil with hoes. There was no sympathy in their eyes but full of malice.In the cold sea breeze, even a burly black man wearing a leather jacket couldn't help but shiver. Following an angry shout from behind, a thin whip made of hemp rope was whipped hard on his back, forcing him to Keep working.Hearing the overseer's impatient tone, the black slave shrugged and continued to work.

Many times, people of the same race may not be kinder than those of other races. Just like the joke goes, "When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, he will be shot in the back." Most of the time, fellow countrymen are unreliable, let alone having the reputation of being of the same race!Especially when there are external inducements, the situation is even worse.

Doug, the black slave overseer, had just whipped a "lazy" slave, and couldn't help but recall Rey's instructions to them just now: the master (Rey) said that as long as he supervises the slaves to finish the work on the [-] acres of arable land, He will select the best among several supervisors and promote him to a permanent supervisor, with higher status and treatment.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but get furious when he thought of the slaves who were "lazy and not working". He thought to himself: These lazy guys, I have to show them some color and let them know that they are lazy under my Doug. It is impossible!Speaking of this nickname, it was just given by the master. Doug felt extremely proud and happy about it. This is the importance of the master!Glory!
Rey stood on the farmland, watching the speed of the slaves' work, and silently estimated in his mind how long it would take to till the land.

At present, food is extremely important to Rey's plan. In this first year of a new journey, I can only say that if you have food in your hands, don't panic. Money and food are the courage of a hero. Weapons and gunpowder are already prepared. It depends on the thousands of food. You must not drop the chain, otherwise you will fall short.It is precisely because of the importance of food that Rey can’t wait to rush for farming in the beginning of spring when the land has just thawed. There is really no time to wait!
That's right, due to Newfoundland's subarctic climate, Rey can only grow spring wheat and potatoes, which are harvested once a year, which advances the history of eating potatoes in Bailuozhou by about 40 years.He will also turn a new page in history and promote it to all parts of the world before the Western world understands its edible value.

I believe that Rey’s reputation will be spread along with the potato for a long time, saving countless hungry people.Rey is so confident in it because in his previous life, potatoes were the fourth largest food crop after wheat, rice, and corn, and were eaten as a staple food in many countries.He believes that this move will not only bring him a large amount of food, but will also have a profound impact on the world.

"Lord! Lord! Lord Haled said he received a letter from the earl! Please go back now..."

A house slave riding a horse shouted anxiously.

"I know! You stay here and supervise them to cultivate the land!"

Rey got on his horse, waved his whip, and headed towards Wenduobao.

Wendo Castle, Lord's Mansion (Earl's Mansion), Study Room.

Before entering the door, Rey asked impatiently: "Cousin, what does the letter from my father say?"

"Rey, the Count wrote to say that he has built a bridgehead on the west coast of the Strait of Belle Isle! It can accommodate 800 people! But the food is running out..."

"I know! Cousin, you wrote back to my father and said that I will take the people and food in three days and let him prepare the plan to start! This time we give the French a surprise!" "Well, okay... …”

"Also, cousin, I will go with my father in three days... Wenduobao will rely on you more! During the period when my father and I are away, you must be more vigilant and be careful not to let in unknown people. When the ship enters the port, be careful to see if the slaves will rebel, and the new round of planting of the farmland depends on you..."

"Don't worry! Just go ahead and do it, I will take care of the logistics..."

Before the sea surface froze last year, Count Molec left Wendoburg with the fourth-level battleship "Conqueror" and two transport ships.According to Rey's previous plan, he led 500 domestic slaves, 100 white slaves, 50 black slaves and 50 indigenous slaves to the northwest corner of Newfoundland.

A military fortress "Fort Hunting" was built near the Strait of Bell Island as a bridgehead and transfer point for the follow-up plan. Of course, its scale and strength cannot be compared with Fort Wendo. It was basically built with local materials. I stayed there for a day. all winter.Now, after the sea ice has basically melted away, Count Molec, whose body is almost moldy, has sent a letter.

After receiving the letter, Rey immediately went to the dock to inquire about the repair status of the ship and took inventory of the food.And next, he will mainly select some people who are familiar with flintlocks among the indigenous slaves to serve as soldiers. He plans to select 500 soldiers from them and then bring 200 domestic slaves with him. He also plans to bring those indigenous extraordinary people and learn from them. Learn more about the situation around Newfoundland, finally arrange the defense of Fort Wendo after leaving, and wait for everything to be ready.

……

At six o'clock on April [-]th, the sky was still groggy, and the sea was filled with thick white fog.

At the Port of Wendoburg, groups of heavily armed Indian and Aikis gunmen boarded the deck of the Rhodes through the pier at the dock. On another transport ship, domestic slaves carried bags of grain. In the warehouse on board the ship...

In front of Wendo Castle, after Rey hugged Hared and said goodbye, he turned around and stood behind Isu Landi.Ishlandi screamed excitedly, and flew up with a slight flap of her huge wings, making a sound of excitement.

"Set sail~~Set sail!"

With a loud shout coming from the sky and echoing in the port, Rey also floated down from the sky and landed steadily on the front deck of the third-tier battleship "Rhode", with his clothes fluttering and his graceful appearance. .Ishlandi also flew out of the port first, using his talent to control the weather to open up a safe and clear path in the thick fog and displayed it on the sea.Haled, who was standing in front of Wendo Castle, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Mader! You are really good at pretending! Damn it, Fake! I learned bad things from my cousin and said some weird things..."

Under the skillful operation of the sailors, the Rhodes and the transport ship immediately raised their sails and followed the route opened by Yixiu Randi out of the port. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the port, the ship moved quickly along the sea wind and finally disappeared in the In the thick sea fog...
