My British Empire

Chapter 535 A Special Gift

"Don't worry! My lord governor, you are also the governor of a region after all, and you need to maintain your demeanor!"

Andrews curled his lips, looking at Gilbert's eager expression with a contemptuous expression.

"Okay! My friend, your arrival is my best gift!" Sighing helplessly, Gilbert collected his mood and talked with him about his past few months while walking .

The American wolves harassed the immigrants unscrupulously, and he led people to drive them away, and built a fence; because of inexplicable diseases, more than half of the Indians were killed or injured, so they had no choice but to choose to migrate away, and the place of residence was bought Next; there are too many mosquitoes in the Americas, and there are many fevers, so every night you can only light a specific grass grass for edification, otherwise you will be bitten to death.

"We also captured a flock of sheep, which seemed to be brought over by the Spaniards in the past. They were feralized, and now they are full of savagery, but the meat is quite delicious. Would you like to have a bite!"

Gilbert pointed to the flock of sheep in captivity, and especially pointed to the magnificent horns of the flock, and said a little excitedly.

"This is the first batch of animals we raised, which is very commemorative!"

"This elk is really big!" When I arrived at the office, I looked at the huge deer head hanging on the wall, which occupied a quarter of the entire wall.

Especially the hard and huge fork, the distance between the two corners is probably about five feet, which is much larger than that in England.

Andrews immediately brightened his eyes, stroked the smooth antlers, and sighed.

"This is the deer stag I hunted before, but it took me a lot of effort to get this giant deer. Not to mention anything else, there are quite a lot of deer herds in the whole of America, and they are also big!"

Seeing his friend salivating like this, Gilbert shook his head amusedly and explained to him.

"Hey, Gilbert, it looks like you're doing well here! I'm still worried about you!"

Andrews shook his head sighingly, staring at the tanned and more energetic Gilbert, feeling very happy for him in his heart.

Colonizing the Americas sounds great, but it’s all about starting over. Unknown enemies, unknown dangers, and all kinds of difficulties in life are more difficult than conquering a country.

Especially when the Spaniards have established a stronghold in North America and must stay away, it is even more uncomfortable.

The worry in his heart was relieved a lot, Andrews patted his face, and then smiled happily: "It seems! Our governor is still qualified!"

"Snapped--"

After knocking off Andrews' right hand with one hand, Gilbert sat down on the chair, stared at him, and asked impatiently:

"Tell me, Andrews, I'm not in the mood to make trouble with you!"

"Say what?" Andrews asked teasingly.

"What exactly did you bring to me? How could it be so mysterious?"

The friend's behavior made Gilbert feel more and more itchy, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Okay! Okay!" Seeing that his old friend couldn't bear it any longer, Andrews finally agreed, "Wait a minute, things will come!"

Sure enough, Andrews was not talking nonsense. Within a few minutes, two sailors carried a box and carried it over panting.

Moreover, the surface of the box is covered with cowhide, which is protected layer by layer. It seems that the contents inside are very precious!

"Your gift really confuses me!"

He untied the rope himself, and opened the cowhide, and a quaint box appeared in front of Gilbert.

Squinting at Andrews, Gilbert smiled and opened the box himself when he received a gesture of accommodating his shoulders.

"Boom—"

"Wow—" Gilbert squealed in surprise. This gift was so unexpected.

Others stretched out their heads one after another, curiously observing what it was, which made the governor scream.

I saw that what caught my eyes was a thick book, the name of the book was: Magna Carta

Below, under Gilbert's overthrow, all appeared before the eyes of the crowd: the law of inheritance, the law of customs, the law of trade, and the emerging law of piracy.

All these were exposed in front of everyone one by one, and the expressions of everyone were varied.

But the only thing in common is: happy.

Yes, that's right, in this free world, although there is infinite land and food, but the thing of freedom, let everyone taste a little bit of sweetness, and soon they ushered in bitterness.

There are so many laws in the United Kingdom.

Ordinary petty theft can still be maintained under customary law, but if the case is a little more complicated, the judge can only touch his head and act according to memory, but it often conflicts with reality.

After all, this is not the United Kingdom, where the law can be searched, and there are no lawyers to serve everyone. The judge's words alone cannot convince the public.

Little Edwardtown is particularly irritable because there is no law.

For example, in the United Kingdom, if there is no heir to the inheritance, it will be inherited from other relatives, but in America, where there are no relatives to find, it cannot be sent back to the United Kingdom all the way!

Therefore, according to local conditions, on the basis of customary law, Edwardton established its own interim laws, which maintained the operation of the colony.

But the judge was unwilling. He wore glasses and shouted at the governor and other officials: "Edwardon has made some major changes to British laws, which are immoral and contrary to tradition!"

The colony lacked "a government conforming to the laws of England" and had only a government of the complete English type, "which is most in keeping with our English temperament!"

Your Honor, faithful to the English system, has endeavored to maintain the colony by English law.

But Kunai didn't have the support of legal texts. After all, judges don't have much money to buy legal stripes. At this time, with these legal texts, others have nothing to say!

And what about the governor? There is no legal support for the provisional regulations, and the judges just talk about the laws of the United Kingdom and deny the authority of the Governor.

But if there is a legal text at this moment, it will be a drought and rain.

The judge expects the real kingdom law to maintain the colony; the governor hopes to use the actual law to prevent the judge from challenging the governor's authority.

"You have been a great help to me, Andrews!"

Gilbert held his friend's hands very kindly, and said excitedly, he was really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

In Edward Bay, where there is no law, too many contradictions have accumulated.

"Oh! I know, you see, Gilbert, this is the most important part of the present—"

Andrews flipped through the Magna Carta and pulled out something that Gilbert was nearly fainting with excitement.
