244 Liverpool

(just got home)

For Lin Qian, the name Liverpool is a bit harsh. There is no word of praise in the great history textbooks for this city that was developed by the blood and lives of black slaves in the past. Until now, it is still deeply imprinted with the label of slave trade. .

Alice, who had experienced that period of prosperity, briefly introduced this history of red and black blood and tears to Lin Qiang. It was an era of prosperity and prosperity of the blood race.

Slave ships traveled from Liverpool to Africa to buy slaves and then crossed the Atlantic to North America.Black slaves spend about six to ten weeks on board.In order to pursue profits, all slave ships were overloaded as much as possible. A ship of about 90 tons actually had to transport about 400 slaves.As a result, the space for each slave on the ship was larger than a coffin, and all the black slaves were crowded one by one. One person's right foot was locked with that person's left foot, and this person's left hand was locked with that person's right hand.The black slaves huddled in the cabin, the air was dirty, and the diet was poor and poor. Once anyone got sick, they couldn't get medical treatment at all, but would be thrown directly into the sea and buried in the belly of the fish.Jin Xian broke into officialdom 244

Sitting in the extended Bentley, Alice, who was tasting the 82 Lafite, stroked her forehead and said with emotion: "A shipload of slaves are exchanged for a box full of gold."

Lin Qian resisted the urge to hit her with a chestnut and asked suspiciously: "Why didn't you choose Birmingham! I heard that it is bigger than the current Liverpool in terms of scale!"

Dade, the president of the Barclays consortium, sat on half of the seat, and carefully explained from the side: "This, this is mainly due to differences in political parties. Birmingham is mainly an area where the Labor Party is in power, and our political views are somewhat different."

Alice smiled at the side, "Mr. Dade, you don't have to be so shy, you can tell Mr. Lin directly that Birmingham is currently under the control of the Holy See!"

"Ah~" Lin Qian was a little dizzy, could it be that the struggle between light and darkness in iǎ said is still a real thing?

Zhao Shanshan was present, and Lin Qian didn't want to touch on these topics, so he hummed and changed the subject.

The convoy of a group drove almost unimpeded into the Liverpool City Hall located at the intersection of High Street, Dale Street, Castle Street, and Water Street in Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

Lin Qian and his party followed the road and walked into the city hall.The first thing Lin Qi praised was its impressive dome.The roof is paved with stone slabs and has a leaden dome.There are four clocks around the dome, each flanked by lions and unicorns. On the clock is an image of a wise woman believed by the Romans, who is also the protector of the city.

Continuing to walk in, the hall of the city hall has a more historical sense. It features a very spectacular Flemish wood fireplace built in 1893.The floor is paved with hand-painted tiles and themed with the Liverpool coat of arms, and the murals were painted by Eschavez in 1909.They describe key historical facts about Liverpool, including King John's charter in 1207.

While walking, Alice iǎ added the history of the city hall next to Lin Qian: "In fact, the building of the city hall was built by Liverpool merchants and entrepreneurs in 1748, and most of them were engaged in slave trade. "Alice paused for a while, and then said: "In fact, according to legend, 16 mayors of Liverpool were once wholesalers who sold slaves."

Lin Qian has now calmly accepted this indisputable reality. He shrugged and said helplessly: "History is always written by the victors!"

Alice chuckled and explained to Lin Qi: In fact, in 1999, Liverpool had formally apologized for the slave trade history.The announcement issued by the city hall expresses shame and remorse for the role played by the city in such a human tragedy of trade.Just last year, on the [-]th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the United Kingdom, Liverpool built a large-scale "International Slavery Museum" and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of criticizing slavery. It is a touching story about them and the righteous people who rose up to fight.At the entrance of that museum, a motto engraved said: "The history of freedom is the history of resistance." "

Zhao Shanshan clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Sister Alice is so amazing, she is so precious!"

Lin Qi also clapped his hands, thinking that this was her treasure in the first place, and maybe these so-called mayors were just the front representatives of the blood clan.

Alice caressed the handrail of the stairs going upstairs and said quietly: "Oh, I have lived for a long time, so I inevitably know more things."

Sure enough, Steven Roselam, the mayor of Liverpool, treated the distinguished guests with great care as if he had met his own mother!

Naturally, he was not qualified to meet Alice, but he saw several consortium leaders protecting this noble British aristocratic lady iǎ and the two orientals like stars holding the moon.Steven Roselam immediately knew who was the real master today.

Hearing that several rare big shots came over to discuss the guaranteed business of friendship cities, the sweat on Steven Roselam's forehead faded a lot.

"Respected Ms. Alice iǎ, respected presidents, these are not a problem! Friendship cities can be established at any time, and we can even present a group of honorary titles of friendly citizens! Of course, we are also very yearning for the civilization of the East. If necessary, we can dispatch cultural envoys to visit each other! You must know that Liverpool's football culture is also world-renowned!" The gentle Steven Roselam is obviously familiar with this kind of scene.Jin Xian broke into officialdom 244

Alas, it's okay not to mention football, but when it is mentioned, Lin Qi gets angry.However, it was not easy for him to slander others, so he ended the conversation briefly!

Next, Lin Qian was not in a hurry to report the results to the leader. After all, his contribution was directly proportional to the degree of difficulty. He still needed some time to complicate this matter to seal Yoyo's mouth.

"Haha, okay, if you're not in a hurry to go back, let's go shopping!" Zhao Shanshan knew that she didn't have to come and go like the two days before, so she naturally showed her girlish nature.

So in Liverpool, the two beauties kept trying on leather jackets worth tens of thousands of euros. They picked out five or six pieces at random, and threw the ones they liked into the hands of a young man next to them.

Without frowning, the young man took out a vi gold card and swiped it.

The two next to them looked like couples who were going to college. A beautiful girl who chose left and right was holding a piece of clothing in one hand and looking at her boyfriend with some difficulty, her eyes were full of envy for Lin Qi's bold face. .

Unexpectedly, this British boy still has some knowledge, shook his head and said to his girlfriend: "We can't compare, the orientals are all Uā's public money. Just like Hongjie from the school, his cheapest sports car costs 8 pounds !"

At this moment, Lin Qi who heard his words suddenly turned his head. a! ~!
