The nearest port in longier is called Green bay


    Only in the summer of 68 months does the ice melt in the bay, and large ships come in and out at this time


    It is as prosperous as Amsterdam


    Green bay is indeed green


    There are 113 days of daylight in the summer here every year


    Not only are people used to seeing glaciers, but Huang Xuan, who just left Brazil, also feels that this harbor is called the last green word


    Especially on the sunny hillside, all kinds of flowers and plants were colorful


    Apart from the still cold air, a short period of time was completely southern scenery


    Marseille seemed very proud of this


    He was a dutchman born in Spitsbergen, but apart from fishing, He had never left the city, and this year was said to be a bumper harvest


    He was looking for a job


    The profit from going out with a big boat was much higher than fishing alone


    For the chinese living in the 21st century, longyi er is not even a small town


    Perhaps we can call it a large village


    There are about 1,200 permanent residents here


    Only in the summer of every year, people who fish flock here


    Even so, The city of Spitsbergen is also the largest city in the entire archipelago, accommodating one-third of the population of the entire archipelago


    Seeing this, Huang Xuan, who had just been boosted by the jellyfish shrimp, began to droop again


    This time he went out, his supplies were mainly food, sugar and spices could only be considered incidental, but whenever he thought of this city with only a thousand people under his feet, he felt discouraged, with 1,500 tons of food


    Could it be sold to one ton per person


    Marseille did not notice that Huang Xuan was in a bad mood


    He had only accompanied Huang Xuan to the city, but now that he had arrived, he was ready to leave


    He was in a hurry to find a boat


    There was only one month left in the summer, and it would be too late


    "Wait


    " Huang xuan held on to marseille first and tried his best to say," where is the government here


    "" East India Company


    This is it


    " Blinking his eyes, behind him was a dozen bungalows, forming a courtyard


    He thought it was a house, but he did not expect it to be the headquarters of the famous Dutch East India Co in the islands


    Not even a single guard


    " Where are they


    " Huang Xuan looked at the closed door and said strangely


    " There should be a fleet of fishing boats arriving at the port today


    Of course, Governor general is going to the port


    " Marseille was a little annoyed


    He didn''t want to waste his precious time on a guy from guawa, the island


    Well, maybe it''s guwa island


    Who cares


    Exhaling a white breath, Huang Xuan tightened his clothes and said," I''ll go to Green bay with you


    "" Whatever


    " Marseille only needed to go to Green bay


    Following behind marseille dejectedly, this feeling continued until green harbor, and then was replaced by endless shock


    In this era, the green port was probably a huge port


    Near the road, there were two sailing ships with a displacement of 200 tons


    According to Lorraine, the largest ships that could be built in this era were only 600 tons, similar to the destroyers of world war ii


    However, the dull sailing ship could not make Huang Xuan unable to close his mouth


    What attracted him was the huge stone platform on the shore and the huge body on it


    " That''s a whale


    " Huang Xuan''s voice was trembling and he forgot to cover it up


    Lorraine''s translation made a heavy sound


    Fortunately, marseille was too excited to listen to his voice and said," that''s the first whaling ship back


    I want to get on the boat and find a job


    " Thus, in the vast Green bay, Huang Xuan could only stand there alone and watch more than a dozen people working hard to dissect the whale


    From a young age, Huang Xuan knew that the blue whale was the largest animal in the world, and once thought that the whales were as big as the blue whale, but when he really saw these huge creatures, he could only show shock


    Now, when he saw dozens of whales being cut into pieces, Huang Xuan''s shock began to turn into saliva again


    As for the legendary guilt, the guilt of eating whales


    If eating beef only smelled good, then eating whales should be happy in their own right - especially in this era when whales were common goods rather than rare animals


    I just don''t know how to sell the whale, but the important thing is that it doesn''t cost energy to transport it


    " This is a suborder of baleen whales, baleen whales, small baleen whales, weighing about 9 tons


    Next to it is the family of baleen whales, the humpback whale, weighing about 30 tons


    In addition, there are two gray whales on the sailing ship in the south, weighing about 28 tons and 35 tons respectively


    At present, there are no toothed whales in the family


    The other largest whale is the arctic whale, with a total of about 70


    " After that, Lorraine began to nag about whales again


    From when on, Lorraine was inclined to spread knowledge to Huang Xuan, not only during the trip, but also in daily life


    Huang xuan didn''t care, as long as he didn''t make too much noise and said more


    " Lorraine, how much is whale meat on the international market


    " That was the core of Huang Xuan''s concern


    Lorraine quickly searched the area and said," due to the limitation of whaling, prices are rising gradually


    The better parts, such as lean meat from the tail of a whale, can cost up to $ 60 per kilogram, but the normal parts are only about $ 6


    ""It''s not that high


    " Huang Xuan''s enthusiasm decreased a little, but seeing the large number of thousands of tons of whales in front of him, he felt inspired again


    He looked around and still asked Lorraine," do you know where that Governor general is


    "" There is a large group of people 300 meters ahead on the right


    You can ask


    " Lorraine, of course, prioritized energy conservation


    Wiping off his cold red nose, huang xuan raised the scarf that was covering his face and walked to the right against the fishy sea breeze


    There were two or three hundred tons of ships parked here


    Not only were sailors cutting up whale meat, but also the Holland sailors standing guard against the wind, standing in the middle of the crowd with the dutch hands behind their backs


    Talking to a few guys in high hats


    A guard stopped Huang Xuan a hundred steps away


    He was a spear soldier, a member of the 17th century army that protected the musketeers, but in Spitsbergen, his rank had grown abnormally


    The guard saw from Huang Xuan''s forehead and eyes that his neck was exposed that he was not a white man, and that was enough


    The guard put the spear on the ground and blocked his view with his body


    " Hoi, go away


    "" I''m an employee of the East India Company


    " Huang Xuan shrugged


    At any time, it was inefficient to reason with the soldiers


    He did not take off his scarf, because he could not fit the upper lip, so he only moved his lips slightly and asked Lorraine to speak for him," I brought the whole ship of food


    I want to see Mr


    Governor general


    " Green bay was a mess today


    How could the guards know if a grain ship had arrived


    He just looked at Huang Xuan suspiciously and shouted," aboriginals, pull down your mask


    " Obediently, he pulled down the mask and moved his lips as little as possible


    " Soldier, you just have to do your job


    I want to see Governor general, but you can''t decide whether to see me for Governor general, understand


    " The dutchman in the crowd seemed to hear the voice


    A man with feathers on his head said something to the people around him


    Another soldier came over and said," let him go


    Governor general said he wants to see him


    " The spearmen looked at Huang Xuan with hatred, but they moved away


    Huang Xuan shrugged again


    The people who came here were all those who could not survive in europe, even criminals


    If Spitsbergen had not become the center of whale hunting, the East India Company would not have thought of this land on the northernmost side of the earth


    Therefore, it is unnecessary to discuss politeness with these people


    " Who are you


    " Huang xuan pulled the hat off his head and bowed slightly


    " Van hogg Wei Lu Wei


    " An old man with a haughty expression


    This was Huang Xuan''s first judgment


    He was older than the people around him


    At the same time, as the center of the conversation, he was the first person to speak


    Huang Xuan smiled and said," Mr


    Governor general, I greet you on behalf of Mr


    Yoma aurora


    " Wei lu wei thought that he had heard of his name, so he waved the guard away and said," Mr


    Aurora


    " He chuckled and said," it''s the president of nokia, sir


    I was ordered to deliver a batch of food here


    I was originally prepared to sell it


    " The people around them all laughed, a big nose with an exaggerated smile, put on his hat and said," we came to Spitsbergen to sell food, son


    We raised the whole of europe


    " Arrogant guy


    Huang Xuan''s second comment, however, was still full of smiles


    " Nokia has just been established and doesn''t know much about the situation, but the food has arrived and the fleet has left, so I want to find a buyer to sell the food


    "" Oh


    " Wei Lu Wei was obviously interested


    Although he was called Governor general, he was completely different from the chinese understanding of people like Hongkong Governor general


    In the 17th century, the East India Company was like Holland''s colonial advance army, which was the source of colonization


    Therefore, sir Governor general''s real identity was a businessman, a greedy businessman with force


    " Mainly rice and wheat, with a small amount of spices and sugar, are good things


    " In europe, spices and sugar had just passed their highest prices, but they were still expensive commodities


    As for food, europe was always short of food


    Holland''s rise was largely due to the huge supply of food from its fishing industry


    According to the technique-only theory, it was the dutch who invented a technique that could remove fish intestines with one knife, and the wheels of history began to spin


    " They are all good things


    " Big nose was honest, but just as he sighed, he was stopped by Wei Lu Wei''s stern eyes


    Mr


    Governor general said faintly," it''s the season for whaling


    I''m afraid there aren''t many ships to transport your goods


    " He knew the man wanted to lower the price, but he couldn''t wait any longer


    If he couldn''t finish the deal within three days, he would take the grain home and lose millions of degrees of electricity in vain


    Besides, he wasn''t actually going to transport it


    " Lorraine, can''t we just grab a batch back


    " Looking at the whale being cut apart, Huang Xuan couldn''t help but lower his head and say," anyway, you just put it in the passageway


    We''ll take it away


    Why pay for this rubbish


    "" If you''re satisfied with just a dozen whales, that''s fine


    " Lorraine did not object


    " But if these dutch attack you, I can''t guarantee your safety


    The base is currently at level 22, and using energy through the plane channel is very costly


    Once the energy consumption exceeds the storage capacity, you won''t be able to go back


    "" You can''t even fight a medieval man


    "" It''s not the middle ages after the renaissance


    " Lorraine corrected," your body is so strong that you can''t even resist a spear piercing


    In the face of so many people, I think the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low


    "" What fee


    It''s a mess


    " Knowing that he could only endure exploitation, huang xuan calmed down, gritted his teeth and said," Mr


    Governor general, there''s a lot of food


    If we really can''t transport it all, I can keep some here until the fleet arrives next year


    But I''m willing to trade food for longier''s whale meat


    " Wei Lu Wei squinted at Huang Xuan


    " Keep some


    " He seemed to be considering whether this was a bribe, and the dutchman behind him, who was dressed in orange and looked like a big orange, said at this time," we can transport whale oil to europe by ourselves


    Svalbard doesn''t need food, nor do we need whales


    " Everyone laughed again


    Whale oil is the fat layer of whales


    It is an important industrial material and fuel


    It is also the main edible oil in europe


    It can be used to make margarine, soap, lamp oil and so on


    At this time, if the whaling ship was too small, people would cut off the whale oil and throw the rest of the whale into the sea


    Huang Xuan felt a little regretful when he heard Lorraine''s explanation, but said with a slight smile," Mr


    Governor general, I can buy the whole whale


    In short, the price is negotiable
