In the blink of an eye, two months passed in a flash.

It is July now, and the hot air is twisting in a random manner under the scorching sun. The outdoor temperature has been rising for days. Even on the night of the sun's rest, it is not cool, and it is so tormenting that people can't get any motivation.

Lorraine lazily lay on the sofa chair, her eyes closed, enjoying the light or heavy finger pressure from her scalp.

Noya's fingers are attached to magical magic. The seemingly ordinary movements will not only draw away the heat, but also draw away the power, making people fall into a strange and confused space and wander away from all elements of the real world.

The long holiday continues.

In the Pansy Manor, Lorraine and his seafarers enjoyed a rare leisure time.

Fishing, barbecue, swimming, sunbathing, hunting from time to time, or rafting on the lake. Anyway, every creature here is the property of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Pansy is like Beverly Hills in New York for Miami. A total of 30,000 acres of land are covered with mountains, water, abyss and forests, narrow and long pure white beaches, and small plank roads with irregular and irregular small plank roads. The plank roads can be parked with boats worth more than ten meters long, and only these harmless yachts are needed.

There are more than twenty luxury houses of different styles scattered in every corner of this manor. Some are close to each other, some are far apart, some are regarded as owners, and some are only occasionally used when the owners are on vacation.

Their owners are all big figures in the chamber of commerce or even the town. Regardless of whether the owner is at home or not, they have a responsible butler who is responsible for taking care of them all year round.

There is also an Indian village with a population of more than 300 and three pioneer villages with a population of more than 600.

Among them, the pioneers mostly had Drake's long-term appointment, either due to illness or disability, or like pastoral scenery, so they brought their families here to settle down.

The backbone of the Indian village was the free people of Lucie back then. The Miskit tribe of Kao was not here. They did not make a living by the service industry. Their main settlement was in the workers' community in Hekou Town.

These two tribes are the key to Lorraine's close contact with the Florida natives and not interfering with each other.

After all, it is impossible for Indians to truly believe in foreign whites. Only through these "alienated" tribes can they have the patience to feel the difference between the Drake Chamber and other whites.

The chamber of commerce neither treats them as a beast nor has any interest in enslaving them. The two sides have only pure commercial relations, and Drake uses their scarce materials to buy manpower and some cheap raw materials, such as wood, stone, soil, etc.

During the transaction process, some Indians also chose to move to Lian Town to live, mainly because of marriage and a few working relationships, such as meeting suitable employers outside the Drake Chamber of Commerce in Miami Beach.

They further deepened the degree of integration between Miami and the Florida Peninsula.

In short, Miami Lian Town should have a good development trend, right?

Stable and growing foreign migration, a small and peaceful local erosion, a social order dominated by fair but white people, a legislation and administration that fully implements Drake's values, and a rapid prosperity of regional economies.

If this state is placed in any other colony, Lorraine would dare to assert that the future of Miami will be full of light and will soon be recognized as a formal administrative unit, only in Florida...

The ethnic contradiction is the first in Florida that cannot be argued about.

As the largest gathering place for Indians in North America, there are hundreds of tribes and millions of Indians living here.

The powerful people don’t need to look at the white people’s faces and beg for life. On the contrary, since the Spanish landed in 1513, although the white people have been fighting for this land for nearly three hundred years, they have never really become the owner of this place, and have not carried out such large-scale development and construction like Miami.

Lorraine knew that the great powers were not optimistic about the development of Miami.

Spain, the recognised leader of Florida, has been reluctant to send the mayor and tax officer from St. Augustineburg to take office. Even at the instruction of Lorraine, the town council has submitted a full three rounds of applications to the Governor's Office.

"Why are you so determined not to get involved with Miami?"

Lorraine muttered and changed into a more comfortable position, letting her forehead press against Noya's soft belly, and opened her eyes to look at the floor-to-ceiling window.

The view under the floor-to-ceiling windows is unique.

The sun shines in through the clear glass, and cut a square yellow cut on the carpet.

In the middle of the bright yellow, Henna and white ears lie on their side, like a pair of asymmetric brackets, watching Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream".

Lazy and boneless, expressionless, the water-made Henna supports the heavy books, and the water-made white ears blink with amber vertical pupils.

It was probably the page I read, Bai'er licked his paws to hit the page, Henna slapped the cat's claws, licked her fingers, and turned the book to the next page.

No one is willing to break the pleasant tranquility. The problem is that the book is a Spanish translation. According to Lorraine, whether it is white ears or Henna, these two should not be understood by the words in the book...

Lorraine couldn't help but cough: "Hena, aren't you hot?"

Henna borrowed her eyes from the pages: "It's quite warm, the sun-dried ink smells good."

"Uh...why do you still have to turn the page?"

"After a page is dry for a long time, the taste will be light."

This explanation is really flawless...

Lorraine patted Noah's hand and sat up: "Hena, do you think the Indians will attack us?"

"Attack?" Henna thought for a while, "There are 7 Indian tribes within 100 kilometers. The Miskittos have sorted out their intelligence and a total of 74 people who are qualified to be the patriarch. As long as they are killed, these tribes will fall apart."

“Meow!”

Lorraine had known this as she was moved: "Neoya, what do you think?"

"Miami is friendly to the Indians..." Noah lowered her head, not as powerful as her white ears. "If the Roma meets such a neighbor, we will definitely perform singing and dancing enthusiastically for them."

"But when we parted, we might borrow some money from them... just a little bit, you know, the Roma doesn't want much..."

Lorraine understood for a while: "You mean Indians might want more?"

"I don't know." Noah's head lowered, "but just like no one wants to trust the Roma, you won't really trust the Indians, right?"

“It’s really…”

Lorraine's doubts were solved at once, and Noya hit the nail on the head, and the root of all problems lies in the word trust.

The Spanish, Indians, and Lorraine, as the core three parties that influence the development of Miami, are unwilling to give real trust to the other two parties.

The Spanish do not believe that Miami can develop smoothly without interference, and do not believe that Lorraine will truly and completely hand over Miami's power.

Lorraine did not believe that the Spanish greed would stop with administrative rights and a small portion of taxes, nor did she believe that the Indians would always be as stable as they are now.

The Indians were similar.

They probably kept waiting, waiting for Spain to kick Lorraine away, the "puppet on the table", or Lorraine took the initiative to tear off the amiable and hypocritical mask.

The awkward tripartite relationship led to the town hall of Miami Lian Town. She was always in the air. Without an official background, the mayor could not upgrade from a private Black Port to a real "city".

This is not good news...

Although in the short term, the business model of Black Port can allow the Drake Chamber of Commerce to enjoy the rich taxes and other benefits in the Miami area, looking at the history of the entire voyage, which Black Port can have a shelf life of more than 30 years?

On Bourgeois's short-sightedness and weakness.

Lorraine suddenly thought of this plausible slogan that she often heard in her previous life.

Short-sightedness and weakness are defects, and are not so much inherent defects of the bourgeoisie, but rather inherent defects of the human species.

Because people are profit-seeking creatures, small profits are wealth, medium profits are fame, and large profits are righteous. Merchants are based on small profits, so short-sightedness and weakness are particularly obvious in merchants.

Merchants like to pursue profit, and are born because of profit, and are accompanied by profit.

They are extremely susceptible to temptation and go astray. In the current social context, they are extremely susceptible to breaking through the bottom line and rules for the sake of immediate interests in the absence of constraints.

Such as robbery, smuggling and selling stolen goods.

Those who go against the mainstream will have the end of their path, and most people understand this truth. However, the nature of capital is destined to be tempted by merchants. Towns run purely by merchants will gradually deviate to the wrong path of development until criminals become mainstream and cities will go to the end.

Regularization is the only correct way out for commercial towns to prosper for a long time.

Joining a country, introducing the country's coercive constraints and legal concepts into it, becoming a shackle for merchants and a shackle for citizens.

At first glance, Lorraine will lose a lot, including administrative rights, legislative rights and part of taxes.

But Miami will become a lawful place, and Drake's foundation will prosper for a long time.

Lorraine gently patted her face.

"Spain is unwilling to enter Miami. On the one hand, it is not optimistic about the development of Miami and does not want to stimulate the Indians. On the other hand, it is because Miami is developing too fast and the Drake Chamber of Commerce has too strong control over Lianzhen."

"Then let the UK take over Miami's administration... no, Spain will go crazy."

"If Miami is handed over to Spain intact and the Chamber of Commerce becomes a resident and a guest... it is not possible, I am not a sucker."

"Then continue to maintain the same status... It's nothing in recent years. If it exceeds 10 years, it will be unfavorable to the development of Miami."

"When will the United States be free to deal with Florida?"

"It really doesn't work...whether the founding of the country?"

Speaking of this, Lorraine lifted Noya's little hand and slapped herself, scaring Noya...

But Lorraine seemed to have not realized it and continued to talk to herself.

"In the 18th century, we sought to establish a country in North America... Although Spain is indeed much easier to bully than Britain, Miami is far worse than the Thirteen States, and the Drake Chamber of Commerce is not as good as the mainland parliament."

"Nothing can do, do you still have to have a good talk with the Spaniards?"

"Carmen... calculate the time, she should come back, right?"
