My British Empire

Chapter 535 Special gift

"Don't worry! My lord governor, you are also the governor of a region after all, 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 group of sheep, which seemed to be brought over by the Spaniards in the past. They were feral, 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 with some excitement.

"This is the first batch of animals we raised, and it 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 stag deer 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 seems that you are living 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 good, 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-"

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

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

"Say what?" Andrews asked playfully.

"What exactly did you bring me, how could it be so mysterious?"

My 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 things inside are very valuable!

"Your gift really confuses me!"

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

Looking sideways at Andrews, Gilbert got a gesture of shrugging his shoulders, and Gilbert smiled and opened the box himself.

"Boom—"

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

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

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

Underneath, under Gilbert's downfall, all appeared in front of everyone: the law of inheritance, the law of customs, the law of trade, and the emerging law of piracy.

All of these were exposed to everyone one by one, and their expressions varied.

But the only thing in common is: happy.

Yes, yes, in this free world, although there is infinite land and food, but this thing of freedom, let everyone taste a little bit of sweetness, and soon 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 you can search for laws, and there are no lawyers to serve everyone. The judge 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, Edwardtown established its own interim laws, which maintained the operation of the colony.

But His Excellency the Judge was unwilling. Wearing glasses, he yelled at the Governor and other officials: "Edwardon has made some major changes to British law, which is immoral and contrary to tradition!"

The colony lacks "a government that conforms to English law", and only a government that is completely British is "best in line with our British temperament!"

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

But Kunai does not 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 for 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 really dry and rain.

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

"You really helped me, Andrews!"

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

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

"Oh! I know, look, Gilbert, this is the most important part of the gift—"

Andrews flipped through the Magna Carta and pulled out the stuff that Gilbert was so excited he nearly passed out.
