- "You came to Europe at this time. It seems that there is something wrong with the timing. It is very chaotic here now."
When Jenny and her group arrived at the concession in the northwest suburb of Marseille and met the concession administrator, the other person's first sentence pointed out this issue very rudely.
The purpose of Jenny's trip is very confidential. Except for themselves and Zhang Tie, who issued the mission to them, no one else knows what they are going to do when they come to Europe.
Therefore, the administrator here in the concession thought that Jenny and the others were coming to the European continent for business or fun.
Jenny knew that although what the other party said was very rude, his starting point was good.
So, she was not angry.
"We are not here to play, but we have a secret mission to perform. Now we need some intelligence support. I hope you can give us some help."
Jenny revealed a little bit about their purpose.
When he heard Jenny say that they were here to perform some tasks, the administrator of the concession looked better.
"Oh, so that's it. I thought someone from the empire would come to Europe to do trade at this time." The administrator nodded to Jenny. He did not ask about the people or things about the mission. Regarding the confidentiality regulations, he It's a little clearer. "I wonder what kind of intelligence you need? I don't know if I can provide you with effective help. After all, our intelligence network in Europe has just been established, and some of the personnel providing intelligence are not very high-level."
Although he did not refuse to provide intelligence services to Jenny, the administrator was still vaccinated in advance.
After all, what he said is true.
Although the concession has already begun operation and construction, the structure of the intelligence network has only just begun.
To establish a huge intelligence network and obtain some valuable intelligence, this is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight.
It takes a lot of time, patience, and luck.
Jenny is also very understanding.
"I need some information from the Netherlands. Are the Protestant coalition forces still in a truce with the church?"
Jenny asked.
After hearing this, the administrator whispered a few words to the secretary beside him.
Then, he said to Jenny: "Please wait a moment, I will ask the secretary to see if there is any information about this." Jenny nodded, "Okay."
While waiting for the other party to look for intelligence documents, Jenny took stock of the environment here.
The concession is under construction, so the entire area looks like a large construction site, with many French workers working here.
Because a large number of laborers are needed here, many bankrupt farmers in France are attracted to come here, hoping to find a way to make a living.
The construction of the concessions in the Song Empire required a lot of labor, so the labor wages were very fair, even slightly higher than the normal local prices.
At the same time, wages are paid daily and will never be in arrears.
Therefore, those French people who have worked here like to continue working here very much.
¡°In such a chaotic and turbulent Europe, it is already very lucky to find a job with such a reasonable price.
And when they work here in the concession, they don¡¯t have to worry about being deducted from their wages, because they get their daily wages directly from the workers of the Song Empire.
This eliminates the possibility of being deducted.
People in the Song Empire don¡¯t care about these small amounts of money, so they won¡¯t embarrass these French workers in this regard.
Of course, French workers need to strictly abide by the rules here and work honestly.
Even so, French workers still feel that working for the people of the Song Empire is much better than working for the French aristocrats.
You know, when they worked for French gentlemen in the past, it often happened that they were not paid or not paid at all. They even had to bring their own meals when working for the gentlemen.
¡°But when working for the people of the Song Empire in the concession, not only did they give me full wages, but they also provided three meals a day, and each meal had a meat dish and was generous in portion.
¡°No one is a fool, and people still have a good idea of ??who is worth working for.
Therefore, every morning, many French people would gather outside the lease, waiting for the foreman of the Song Empire to select people and start work.
The best thing about the Song Empire is that their wages are paid every day. After these workers pay their wages for the day, they can buy cheap grain and non-staple food nearby in the concession, because the goods in the concession are very cheap. The price is much cheaper than that at Marseille Port.
And this benefit is only available to workers who work in the concession. People who do not work here cannot enjoy this benefit. This can be regarded as an agreement reached between the concession and the French government.
At the same time, using this method also increases the attraction of doing work in the concession.
It is precisely because of this advantage that working in the concession has become the first choice of the French people around Marseille.
The concession area attracted some workers who were originally working in Marseille Port.
??Besides, you don¡¯t need any skills to work in the concession, as long as you have the ability, you can apply.
Construction sites basically require laborers.
But because the construction on the concession side is not yet in progress and some buildings have not been completed, some administrative affairs on the concession side are conducted in tents.
There is nothing we can do about this. After all, some things still need to be dealt with.
You should know that since the agreement was signed with France and the concession was determined, the French concession began to engage in commercial affairs of foreign trade of goods.
These business matters require an office space to handle.
Under limited conditions, everyone can just make do with it.
Anyway, the construction of the concession is already in progress, and everyone will be able to move into the new office space in another year. Some of the difficulties now are only temporary.
Jenny walked out of the tent and observed the busy construction scene outside the concession.
From the faces of these French people working in the concession, Jenny found that all of them had red faces, and they did not have the greenish color and malnutrition that Europeans often have.
This made Jenny a little surprised.
Jenny has lived on the European continent for many years. It can be said that her life more than ten years ago was spent on the European road.
And, because of her previous professional relationship, she has been to many countries in Europe, so she has a very good understanding of the customs and customs on the European continent.
Especially the living conditions of people on the European continent, she is very clear about it.
In her impression, people on the European continent are basically malnourished.
Although they look tall and thick, that's because they are born with genes that way. It doesn't mean that they grow like this because they eat well.
However, here in the concession, she saw a different situation.
¡°Could it be that the people here in France, their lives are so good?
They are all so red-faced.
Jenny was secretly amazed in her heart.
"Boss, what are you looking at here alone?"
A tall bald man, almost over two meters tall, came behind Jenny and asked.
Like Jenny, this bald man is also from the European continent.
This guy¡¯s name is Ruth and he¡¯s Swiss.
He was a man who followed a French merchant ship to the American continent to find a new life in the Song Empire.
In the Song Empire, he met a priest who was preaching and was impressed by the miracles he showed.
And when he prayed to ¡®God¡¯, hoping that his starving daughter could go to heaven, the god enshrined in Jiejiao actually ¡®resurrected¡¯ his daughter.
Although there is no soul and only the resurrected body, this shock to Russ is still very big.
Even his outlook on life has been overturned.
From that moment on, he decided to become a fanatical believer in the gods enshrined by Jiejiao.
The reason is very simple. Only fanatical believers can gain the favor of the gods, and then his daughter can recover her soul.
??Ruth was originally a blacksmith, and he had great strength.
¡°However, he is very good at eating, but the money he earns is simply not enough to feed himself.
And because of the oppression of the lords and nobles of the European continent, he could not even support his family.
It is precisely for this reason that his cute little daughter, who was only four years old, starved to death.
It is also because of this that he decided to leave Europe and go toLet's see if we can find something to do over there.
But no one knew that Ruth was actually a natural warrior.
He is very talented at killing people, but he has never discovered that he has such a talent.
He is very courageous, very calm and has a clear mind.
Therefore, his specialness was quickly discovered by the special observers within the teaching, and his special training began.
And during the training period, he did live up to expectations. He quickly understood the things he learned and was able to draw inferences from one example.
However, because he is too gentle by nature, he cannot be a leader.
This is probably his only shortcoming.
Of course, now that he has become a fanatical believer in the Jie Cult, and at the same time, in order for his daughter to regain her previous soul, he can burst out with strong potential.
It is precisely for this reason that he was selected into this group of elite interception coaches who came to Europe.
Because there are many gods enshrined in Jiejiao, including gods in charge of carpentry or various professions, it is inevitable for Russ to choose a god as the main god he serves.
And Russ chose the God of War.
This is different from Jenny, who chose the goddess of hell.
In Jiejiao, although everyone belongs to the same religion, the main gods they worship are different.
This is also very special.
However, although everyone has chosen a main god to serve, in addition to the main god, there is also the Supreme God, who they must serve to death without having to choose.
And this supreme god is His Highness the Empire himself who has not yet awakened his godhead, but is already living in the secular world.
It has to be said that Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhang Tie created a very nondescript team.
¡°I don¡¯t know how many things they pieced together to make it look like this.
But what you have to admit is that even such a nondescript teacher has achieved considerable results.
As long as it is given a stable development period, it will not be a very troublesome thing for Jiejiao to rise and explode on the American continent.
When Jenny and Ruth were in America, they trained together.
It¡¯s just that Jenny¡¯s training program is different from Ruth¡¯s.
Russ received fighting and killing skills, while Jenny received cognitive training about the gods.
After all, Jenny was originally an assassin trained by the Inquisition. She is very proficient in killing skills. Even the genius Ruth cannot compare with her.
Therefore, she does not need to receive training in this area at all.
"However, she and he were trained in the same camp, so they are relatively familiar with each other.
Ruth is already thirty-seven or eighteen years old.
And nineteen-year-old Jenny, in Ruth¡¯s eyes, is like a daughter.
"Have you noticed that the faces of the people working here don't seem to have that much green color on their faces, and the looks on their faces seem to be full of longing and hope for the future life." Jenny pointed to the workers who were constantly coming and going. Said to Ruth.
Ruth looked in the direction of Jenny¡¯s finger, then looked at it carefully and felt very surprised.
Like Jenny, Ruth was still living in Europe last spring.
Therefore, he knows very well what the living standards of people here in Europe are like.
Because he is different from Jenny, he is a completely low-class person, so he has a very clear understanding of the lives of the people at the bottom.
"Yes, everyone's faces are glowing, and they seem to be living a good life."
Russ clicked his tongue and said in wonder.
"Come on, let's go over and ask. I think such changes should have something to do with the concession."
Jenny¡¯s senses were very sensitive, and she immediately noticed the most important link that was directly related to this change.
"Isn't this a good idea? They have already gone to get us the intelligence documents we need. It would be very rude if they couldn't find us when they come back."
Although Ruth may look tall and thick, he actually has a very delicate heart.
Jenny was very disapproving of this. She said to Ruth: "It doesn't matter. We just need to find someone to ask. It won't delay long."Yes, and I also want to know why the empire established concessions in Europe. Maybe we can only find a reason ourselves. "
After hearing this, Russ curled his lips.
He thinks that Jenny¡¯s curiosity is too strong. What does the empire¡¯s establishment of concessions in Europe have to do with them.
¡°Moreover, exploring too much will not do you any good. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
