Vol 2 Chapter 511: ,set off

In fact, during this time, southerners are really poor.
The first is the destruction of the war. The British burned many port cities and cotton fields close to the coast.
In the original war, the economic situation in the South was estimated to be not good due to the lack of orders for cotton from the United Kingdom. Coupled with the destruction of the war, it was naturally even worse. Of course, it is not without good news. For example, although the British orders are gone, European market demand is still there. The prices of cotton cloth in the European market have basically risen. In addition, it is said that the British set fire to the cotton fields in the United States (of course, this is an exaggeration), which caused market tension. As a result, the price of cotton increased. After the drop in magnitude, there was a certain rebound.
But the rebound in cotton prices is still far from enough to make up for the losses of the war. And the terrible thing is that the area where Martin and James are located happens to be close to the sea. The British also set fire here. The city burned more than half, but fortunately everyone ran away. A lot of cotton in the field was also burned. As for the stock of cotton, it was burned up by the British. So when cotton prices rebounded, they did not benefit. In fact, when cotton prices rebounded, the guys closer to the interior and the French in Louisiana took advantage if they didn't sell all the cotton before the cotton price rebounded.
Taking into account the consumption of rebuilding their homes, everyone really doesn't have much money at the moment. Even if you have money, many have been lent to other friends.
So when Martin said he had no money, everyone sighed together.
"I can't live this day! I used to drink French wine, but now I can only drink local beer." Another person also exclaimed.
"Everything has gone up in price, only guns and ammunition are cheaper than before." Someone complained.
On the North American continent, whether it is Mexico or Canada, the war is over. Therefore, the guns and ammunition that were once very in short supply have now become surplus materials and are being sold at discounts. Although if these things are loaded on a ship and shipped to Europe, they seem to be able to sell for a good price. But consider the shipping cost to and from. This business may not be very fragrant. Of course this is not the main reason. The main reason is that France does not want to see such a large number of second-hand weapons appear in Europe, squeezing the French market.
So now in Georgia, everything is expensive, but guns and ammunition are worthless. Even though everyone is now poor, when shooting targets, there is less need to think about wasting bullets than before. Many times, out of boredom, people will fire a few shots in the sky to make a sound. Anyway, this thing is cheap.
Of course, economic difficulties, coupled with the fact that guns and ammunition are everywhere, and the prices are exceptionally cheap, a natural consequence will appear, that is, public security disorder.
Hard life, chaotic public order, this bores everyone.
"What's more terrible is that I have to raise a large group of black slaves! To be honest, I really envy those French people who open factories in the west. You see how simple they are. When there is something to do in the factory, open the door and pull a group. New immigrants come in and do it; once there is no work to do, turn off the machine and drive out all the workers, leaving no idlers. But we who raise slaves really suffer. Now the cotton fields are burned, There is no need for those black slaves to do anything inside, but we still have to raise them. This is really..." Someone complained.
Therefore, free workers are far better than black slaves.
Because of this, no one can come up with money to support Martin.
"To say, people here don't have a good life." Someone complained.
"Not all, boss Dyson's life is good. His Louisiana wines helped him make a lot of money." Someone said loudly.
Everyone laughed together, because the Louis Anna beer owned by the owner of Dyson at the shooting range was originally a failed business by the owner of Dyson. A French business partner lost money because of trading, so he sold a group of Louis Anna's wine was mortgaged to Dyson.
Although Louisiana also belongs to France, some French people also brought grapes here to make wine. But the quality of these wines, not to mention incomparable with Bordeaux wines, is incomparable with Italian and Austrian wines. Therefore, the main purpose of Louisiana wine is to sell to some low-end taverns, and then put it into fake Italian wine. And I don’t know how to impersonate directly, so I can only impersonate it.
So although Louisiana wine is also wine, the price it sells is not much different from beer. Basically, things that cannot be sold. The friend of Dyson’s boss soon went bankrupt and didn’t know where he went.
Compared to the money Dyson lent to that friend, these Louisiana wines are really worthless. So the boss of Dyson was obviously at a loss. But what I didn't expect was that the war broke out suddenly, and after the war broke out, the demand for alcohol rose greatly, but there was a problem with the supply of alcohol.
There are a lot fewer ships going to Europe, and most of the goods in operation are directly related to the war. The amount of wine imported from Europe has dropped significantly. The result of this is that the Louis Anna wine, which was originally not drunk at all and looked down upon, was thought to be only rationed for domestic slaves, but suddenly became valuable. The price went up steadily, relying on this batch of wines, when everyone was poor, boss Dyson made a fortune instead.
"Boss Dyson, you have made a fortune now, do you want to get some money out to help Martin, let him go to Massachusetts, kill those two bastards?" someone shouted.
"Let me buy him a glass of wine, but let me pay to support him to kill, it's not good." Dyson boss smiled and shook his head.
"Come on, boss Dyson, isn't it just killing people? Who hasn't killed anyone here? Besides, those two guys can count as people?" someone said loudly.
"Otherwise, Martin's marksmanship has always been very good, but Dyson, yours is also good. You have to bet a round, the old rules, three hundred feet, chest target, ten shots. If Martin wins, you lose to him One hundred dollars, the money should be enough for him to travel to Massachusetts. If you win, well, in the next month, Martin will come to you to work for you every day."
This bet seems unreasonable, because the waiter's salary definitely does not need to be as high as a hundred dollars. However, considering that it is not Martin’s personal affair to clear the country’s traitors, it is not unacceptable, but the boss of Dyson still proposed amendments.
"If I shoot ten shots, then I might as well pay directly." Dyson boss said, "Martin is a good shooter, his marksmanship is obviously better than me. If you must bet, then bet a shot. In addition, this matter It’s not Martin’s personal affair, so if Martin loses, then forget it. If he wins, everyone in the room will come and help me for a day. How?"
Gamble on one shot is much more accidental than gambling on ten shots, because no one has the opportunity to adjust. In this way, when the technology is not very different, luck will take up a very large proportion. This has a better chance of winning than Dyson's boss, who is obviously a bit inferior to marksmanship. Just like later generations, in order to increase the contingency of the table tennis game, 21 points per game was changed to 11 points per game. It's just that I thought well when I changed it, but the final result showed that the technology is not good, and the use of these crooked ways is really limited.
Since Dyson’s boss’ proposal is basically reasonable. Everyone agreed. So the boss of Dyson asked people to fetch rifles-they were all good French goods, and they were not worth anymore anyway.
The two came to the shooting range, and everyone followed, and the other people who had been shooting also stopped and came to watch the gambling fight.
Dyson had a target set three hundred feet ahead. Then he said to Martin: "Why don't you fight first?"
The shooting range is open air, so there are relatively more interference factors, and the first shot is not easy to shoot. But Martin did not object. He picked up the rifle, filled it with a bullet, then raised the gun, took a glance, and fired.
"Nine rings!" The target reporter shouted out his results. At this distance, with a gun that I don't use often, I can shoot nine rings with one shot. This result can be said to be very good.
Even Martin himself was very satisfied with this shot, so he put down the gun in his hand and said to boss Dyson: "Well, it's your turn."
Dyson glanced at Martin and said, "One shot makes a nine-ring, how would you let me do this?" While saying that he picked up the loaded rifle, took aim for a while, and then fired it. One shot.
"Seven rings!" The target reporter over there immediately reported the shooting results.
"Actually, I did a good shot with this shot." Dyson put down the gun and reached out to Martin, while saying, "But your shot was really good."
Now that the result of winning or losing has come out, the boss of Dyson is a refreshing man, so he went directly to his office, and soon came in with a wallet.
Boss Dyson took out two brand new hundred-dollar bills from his wallet. Handed it to Martin: "One hundred dollars may be a little nervous, so I will lend you another one hundred. If you come back and haven't used it up, give me the extra. Well, you are sure to go to Massachusetts Do it?"
"Of course, with so many testimonies, what I have said is not counted?" Martin replied.
"In this case, I still have to write you a letter. You know that I am in business. I have friends all over North America. I have a French friend who recently did business in Boston. You can find him wherever you go. , He may be able to provide you with some help." Dyson said.
"Is this friend of yours reliable?" Martin asked. What he wanted to do was murder, and he didn't want to be arrested by the Massachusetts police because of an unreliable guy.
"If it's an unreliable person, I won't introduce it to you at all." Dyson said, "Well, you continue to play here, I will write a letter over there."
So Dyson returned to his office again. He stayed inside for a while, then walked out with an envelope.
He handed the envelope to Martin: "The envelope is unsealed. You can check the contents first. If there is nothing wrong with it, then I will seal it."
Martin took out the letter paper from the envelope and read it again. In fact, there was nothing written on it, just told the French friend named Pidour that Martin was his friend and came here to do some things, hoping that he could provide him with some help within his ability.
"A lot of things, I can't write it directly in the letter." Boss Dyson said, "But Pidul is a reliable friend who can give his back to his good friend. After you meet him, you can directly Tell him your plan. If possible, he will definitely be willing to help you."
Martin thanked Dyson. Then Dyson sealed the envelope in front of him and handed it to him. Then he raised the glass in his hand and said: "Friends, let us toast together and wish Martin a victory."
After everyone had fun, Martin returned home. In fact, although he was very dissatisfied with these two traitors, he was not too far to run thousands of kilometers to kill others. It's just that I drank two glasses of wine at the club, and when I was inspired by everyone, I actually agreed to do it.
But it's too late to repent at this time. If repent on this kind of thing, don't mess around locally in the future. So even though he was a little bit worried, he still made up his mind to make this matter a result.
So he told his wife ~EbookFREE.me~ that he was going out a long distance recently to deal with some things. Then he boarded a boat and headed north by sea.
If you are in Louisiana a little west, taking the train would be a good choice. The French built a north-south railway along the Mississippi River. This railway stretches from New Orleans to the area near the Great Lakes. It is said that the French also intend to repair this railway road to Quebec in the future.
But the United States currently does not have such a railway connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River, nor the Mississippi River that connects the north and south. Therefore, the most convenient way to go north is to take a sea boat.
Martin took a rifle and a revolver on board. At this time, there was almost no control over guns in the United States, and it was almost normal for people traveling far away to carry guns with them, and no one would control them at all.
Soon, Martin landed ashore in Boston Harbor. Then he found the Mr. Pidul according to the address Dyson gave him.
