Pimont was suddenly a little anxious, after all, he had visited the cabin of the Nicole, and only then did he suddenly feel that the coal and iron ore he had recently transported to the Australians was not enough, with his years of experience in maritime trade, the ore piled up on the docks of Xin'an Port and Dili Port now looked like a lot, but in fact it could only fill a corner of Nicole's cabin...... Well, the Australians say they come at least once a month......

Oh, my God! God forbid! Looks like I'm going to have to mobilize all my strength to mine.

Yes, those old diehards of the Eastern tribes must disappear! The Oecussi must obey my commands......

Also, when exactly will Degus's slave fleet arrive......

Just when Pimont was standing on the roof balcony of the Governor's Palace, the Nicole had left Dili Harbor far behind, and many people in Dili City looked at the big ship in the distance, and finally found that the big ship would stop near the Xin'an Wharf in the west, so some idlers and people who hoped to earn the handling fee began to move in the direction of Xin'an Wharf, of course, the idlers were watching the excitement, and more people were looking for work, and the wages given by Australians have always been good, all real silver or Mexican silver dollars, There's also a free and delicious lunch at noon, and it's such a big boat, there must be a lot of loading and unloading work to do.

In addition, the recent Governor Hou of Xin'an, Hou Dashanren, suddenly increased the remuneration of the coolies by 10%, and it is said that it has been filled with various ores and timber and other large quantities.

Today, ships of all sizes carry all sorts of goods from the port of Dili, Morro Bay, and even the city of Oecussi every day, with large quantities of ore and timber, but also a wide variety of other goods, from grain to fruit, from silk and textile fibres to handmade goods, and merchants have also found that Australians are interested in local products, including firearms from Hongmaoyi.

There was also a recent incident that made the citizens and traders of Dili a lot of talk: the other day, two small Kirk galleons belonging to the Dutch, who had escaped the blockade of the Portuguese navy, had run aground on the beach of Xin'an Harbor at night, carrying a dozen bronze cannons and hundreds of Spanish arquebuses, and the Australians had happily bought all of them.

The citizens of Dili were very surprised that although the two countries were not in a state of war now, they were blockading each other and demolishing each other in trade, and Dutch merchants occasionally came to Dili Port, but in most cases they were forced to replenish fresh water supplies and wanted to do business? Yes, but that tax will cut your business profits by more than half! Moreover, the navy of the Doge's Palace will turn these merchants away for various reasons, and it is often the case that you are not allowed to buy or sell anything except to replenish the supply of fresh water.

However, the citizens heard that there is a trade agreement between the Portuguese and the Australians, the Portuguese are not allowed to interfere with who the Australians do business with, the Portuguese can come to Sin'an City to do business, and businessmen from any other country can also go there to do business, as long as you are willing to pay the tax rate to the bottom of the almost negligible tax, do not commit crimes in the city, in short, as long as it is on the territory of the Australians, you can do whatever you want.

According to Australians, this is called "open doors, equal interests", this phrase is very new to the citizens of Dili, although most of the citizens of Dili do not understand the meaning behind this sentence, but they also know that there is no artificial obstacle for people to go to Sinian City to do business and earn a living.

Obviously, the Dutch on these two small Kirk galleons did not know what the news was, so they suddenly broke in, according to the agreement between Portugal and Macao, within two leagues of the sea off the port of Xin'an is the "exclusive economic zone" of the Australians, well, this is a new word, within the scope of this sea area, no ships of any other country are allowed to have any firefights, expulsions and inspections, in short, this is a safe zone. Of course, out of this area, you Australians who fight life and death don't care.

The citizens of Dili City know that Australians often come up with some inexplicable new words, such as the word that is now popular in Dili City - "part-time job", the words that complain about a thing - "", "Nima", "paralysis", "what the hell" and other words, of course, there are other words such as "like", "optimistic about you" and so on, in short, after dealing with Australians for a long time, these words are also easy to say, especially those who are hired by Australians, of course, including the soldiers of the Xin'an City Garrison... …

So that evening, when Captain Andrew of the Casa Princess saw that the two Kirk galleons had finally shaken off their pursuit and entered the "exclusive economic zone" of the Australians, he couldn't help but blurt out the word "it" and had to turn to search for other unlucky people.

Recently, because the war of the nearby tribes has gradually gone away, and the wages have also increased, so the number of natives working at the Xin'an wharf has increased greatly, for many young people in Dili City, including sailors, citizens, traders, and soldiers, as long as you have time, you can find work on the wharf or on the construction site, obviously these people and the natives are not the same as the labor remuneration, after all, the former in most cases wants in kind, including things like food and drink or practical tools, while the latter asks for silver- Governor Hou gave him cash silver, including Spanish silver coins, and of course the most popular hard currency among the citizens was silver in the hands of Australians.

For Hou Xianglin and **, today is an exciting day, these days looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally gave the Nicole.

At this time, Xin'an Wharf was already crowded, Hou Wei and the others were a little surprised by this, they usually didn't feel that there were so many people in Xin'an, it seems that there are really a lot of people coming from Dili City to see the excitement and looking for jobs.

Under the flagpole in front of the pier, Hou Xianglin and ** stood there straight, and behind them were more than a dozen subordinates, and the two smiled and watched as the Nicole slowly approached the shoreline.

Obviously, not everyone at the scene had seen Nicole, so when the legendary "Australian Iron Ship" gradually approached, people's mixed emotions were finally reflected in action. Even the members of the garrison led by ** can't escape this kind of spiritual shock.

At this time** occasionally turn your head, eh? Why is the group of Dongying Ronin behind him shorter again? Nima, why are you all on your knees?
