Chapter 283

Chapter 283 The Captain’s Invitation

Urgent matter?

What an urgent matter?

do not know.

The four of them looked at each other, no one knew what happened.

Although Red Beard was reluctant, she was still dragged by Fanny to go out with everyone, and walked along with the person who was speaking outside the door.

After a while, the man took the four of them to a cargo warehouse under the cabin, which was huge, at least five times the size of the room where the four lived.

But at this time, the place was densely packed with people, and almost a large part of the people on the ship were here.

Think about it, it is estimated that only the warehouse has the space to accommodate so many people.

I took a rough shot, and the people here are basically all men. At this time, the crowd is discussing something.

Ye Qing noticed that the pastor he had met before was using a quill pen to record something on a piece of parchment.

Captain William Bradford apparently spotted the four of them, and immediately walked over to say hello, and at the same time asked Ye Qing to introduce him and Red Beard to each other.

Afterwards, William Bradford suddenly mysteriously pulled Ye Qing aside, and lowered his voice: “Ye, I have to apologize to you first, but we are going through a major meeting here, so can you trouble me? You call your wife outside first?”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Ye Qing didn’t understand.

William Bradford explained: “It’s like this, all of us here are oppressed in our respective countries, ready to go to the New World to find new hope, and before we set off, we have already agreed with the Virginia Company. , Let them accept our immigration, but now there are some problems, we have deviated from the course, resulting in the continent ahead is not under the jurisdiction of Virginia, it is a pity that our ship has been severely damaged in the storm and can no longer afford another Voyage, so we can only dock here. At the same time, we discussed that if this place is suitable for survival, maybe we will never have to go to Virginia again. Now we are discussing some rules that need to be followed together after landing.” ”

“But what does this have to do with my two female friends?” Ye Qing frowned, her tone of voice a little unkind.

Of course he now understands what this guy means.It is nothing more than a patriarchal idea. He feels that women have no right to make decisions. This is understandable in this era, and Ye Qing does not want to change anything, and only relying on his own power. Can’t change everyone’s point of view.

But Ye Qing, who grew up in the new era, felt very angry when he heard such words.

William Bradford noticed the change in Ye Qing’s tone, smiled awkwardly, but insisted: “Ye, I’m really embarrassed, but here, who is not a dragger? Don’t embarrass me without being present, okay?”

This can be said to be sincere, but Ye Qing still does not buy it. From the time he entered to the present, the voices of the discussion around him are endless, and he has heard some of them. Flower horn convention now.

But what does this have to do with yourself?

After thinking about it, although a little angry, William Bradford’s attitude is still sincere, plus the thought that he is a guest on someone else’s boat at this time, and the other person has always conveyed goodwill to himself.

Ye Qing said: “Well, William, I respect your habits, but this kind of scene, my friend and I are not suitable here?”

This is planning to get out.

Just kidding, looking at William Bradford like this, I guess I want to sign the convention too. If people look at the convention list in the future, they will ask who this Ye Qing is, why is the name so weird, and how can I explain it? go?

Saying that Ye Qing turned around and pulled the red beard and was about to leave, but he was held back by William Bradford. He apologized: “Ye, don’t be impulsive, if you are not happy, then I won’t let it. They just need to go out, but we will sign the convention that we discuss later. They must not sign like other women. Now you are always satisfied, right?”

Ye Qing was a little stunned, always felt that this Captain William was really too temperamental, right?

How can I say that now I and others can only be regarded as guests on the ship. In terms of power, this should be the top one, but how can the other party give people a feeling as if they are God?

But as soon as this doubt came out, after a little thought, Ye Qing had an epiphany.

To put it bluntly, the reason why this William Bradford pulls himself so close is because he and Redbeard are very useful to them now.

You know, there are more than one hundred people on this ship, and less than half of those standing here now. Although this is because the father, daughter and children have been removed, it also means that once they land, these People are responsible for the survival of all people.

And because of the long time drifting on the sea, most of the people here have various diseases. The truly healthy, including William Bradford, are even less than ten.

Such a group, if they just fell on a beach with rich resources, like they and Zhao Ling did at the beginning, they can barely survive.

Of course, the premise here is that there is no attack by ferocious beasts and brutal indigenous tribes.

And everyone can see that he and Redbeard belong to the strongest difference among these people. Once the two of them join, their chances of survival will be much higher.

It is precisely because of this that William Bradford will be so polite to himself, and he also needs to sign this convention with Redbeard.

You must know that although the front is a new beginning, it is also impossible. .

And the existence of this convention, although it is just a dead letter, can play a role of checks and balances at this time, at least in some cases, can arouse the will of the group of people to cooperate.

To give a simple example, any signing of this convention is equivalent to the creation of a common law among more than a hundred people here, and if someone breaks the law, even if it doesn’t matter to them, these people can stand together. Get up against the common enemy.

I have to say that the people who came up with this method are quite clever.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing became hesitant.

It’s not that he is worried that he will be attacked by groups if he fails to abide by the convention in the future, but that he is considering some other issues.
