Longyle's nearest port is called Green Bay. Only in June and August of each summer, the floes in the bay will melt, while large ships will enter and exit at this time, and their prosperity is no less than that of Amsterdam.

Green Bay is indeed green. There are 113 days of extreme day in summer here every year. Not only are people who are used to seeing glaciers, but Huang Xuan, who has just set off from Brazil, think that the harbor is called green. Especially on the sunny hillside, there are all kinds of flowers, and except for the still cold air, the short section is completely a southern scenery.

Marset seems very proud of this. He was a Dutch born in Spitsbergen, but he had never left Longyearbyen except fishing. This year is said to be a bumper year. He is preparing to find a job and the benefits of going out to sea with a big ship are much higher than fishing alone.

For Chinese living in the 21st century, Longyle is not even a small town. Perhaps we can call it a large village, with a permanent population of about 1,200. Only in summer every year, fishing people flock to it. Even so, Longyle is the largest city in the entire Spitsbergen Islands, and it accommodates one-third of the entire archipelago.

Seeing this scene, Huang Xuan, who had just been aroused by the confidence of the jellyfish shrimp, became weak again. This time he went out, the main supplies he carried were grain, and sugar and spices could only be considered as a side. But whenever he thought of the city where there were only a thousand people under his feet, he felt discouraged. 1,500 tons of grain, would he sell 1 ton of each person?

However, Marset did not notice Huang Xuan's depressed mood. He originally just accompanied Huang Xuan to Longyearbyen City. Now that the person has arrived, he is ready to leave. He is anxious to find a boat to come out. There is still one month left in summer, and it will be too late.

"Wait." Huang Xuan grabbed Marset first and tried his best and said, "Where is the government here?"

"East India Company? Is it here?"

Huang Xuan blinked his eyes and found that behind him was a dozen bungalows surrounded by a yard. He originally thought it was a house, but he did not expect that it was the headquarters of the famous Dutch East India Company in the archipelago.

There was not even a guard.

"Where is the person?" Huang Xuan looked at the closed door and said strangely.

"Today there should be a group of fishing boats, and the governor will naturally go to the port." Marset was a little annoyed. He was unwilling to waste his precious time on a guy from Guawa Island. Well, maybe it was Guawa Island, who cares about it?

After breathing a breath of white breath, Huang Xuan tightened his clothes and said, "I'll go to Green Bay with you."

"Whatever you want." Marset just needs to go to Green Bay.

Huang Xuan followed Marset dejectedly, and this emotion continued until Green Harbor, and was replaced by infinite shock.

For this era, Green Port may be a huge port. Two sailboats with a displacement of 200 tons are parked near the road. According to the information provided by Lorraine, the largest ship that can be built in this era is only 600 tons, similar to the destroyers during World War II.

However, the stupid sailing boat could not make Huang Xuan open his mouth and unable to close it. What attracted him was the huge stone platform on the shore and the huge body on it.

"That's it, whales!" Huang Xuan's voice was trembling, and he forgot to cover it up and said it directly. Lorraine's translation caused heavy sound. Fortunately, Marset was also immersed in excitement, not caring about the voice in his ears, and said, "That's the first batch of whaling ships are back. I'm going to get on the boat to find a job."

So, in the huge Green Bay, Huang Xuan could only stand there alone and watch more than ten people dissecting the whale hard.

Since childhood, Huang Xuan knew that blue whales were the largest animals in the world, and once thought that whales were as huge as blue whales, but when he really saw these giants, he could only show shock.

Now, when you see dozens of whales being divided into blocks, Huang Xuan's shock began to turn into saliva again... As for the legendary guilt, the guilt of eating whales? If you only feel good when eating beef, then eating whales itself should be happy - especially in this era, whales are ordinary commodities rather than rare animals.

I just don’t know how to sell whales, but the important thing is that transporting this thing is not energy-consuming.

"This is the suborder of Baleenaceae, Baleenaceae, Mink whales, weighing about 9 tons. The one next to it is the Baleenaceae, Humpback whales, weighing about 30 tons. In addition, there are two gray whales on the sailboat in the south, weighing about 28 tons and 35 tons respectively. No whales of the Toothed Whales are found at present. The most are Arctic whales, with a total of about 70." After saying this, Lorraine began to talk about whales again. I don't know when, Lorraine tends to popularize knowledge to Huang Xuan. This is not only during travel, but also in daily life. Huang Xuan doesn't care. As long as he doesn't say too much, it's fine.

"Lorraine, how to sell whale meat in the international market?" This is the core issue that Huang Xuan is concerned about.

Lorraine quickly searched and said, "Due to the whaling restrictions, the price is gradually rising. Good parts, such as lean meat at the tail of whales, can reach $60 per kilogram, but ordinary parts are only about $6."

"It's not very high." Huang Xuan's enthusiasm decreased a little, but when he looked at the large number of whales in front of him, he felt inspired. He looked around and asked Lorraine, "Do you know where the governor is?"

"There is a large group of people 300 meters ahead of the right, you can ask." Lorraine, of course, took energy saving first.

Rubbing the frozen red nose, Huang Xuan raised the scarf that blocked his face a little, and walked to the right in the fishy sea breeze. There were two or three hundred tons of ships parked here. Not only were sailors dividing whale meat, but also Dutch sailors stood guard against the wind. The Dutch standing in the middle of the crowd with their hands behind their backs and saying something to a few guys with high hats.

When he reached a hundred steps away, a guard stopped Huang Xuan, a spearman, who was a protective musketeer in the 17th century army sequence, but in Spitsbergen, his rank had obviously increased unusually.

The guard saw from Huang Xuan's forehead and eyes that this was not a white man, that was enough. The guard placed the spear underground, blocked his view with his body, and said, "Go aside."

"I am an employee of the East India Company." Huang Xuan shrugged. At any time, it was an inefficient behavior to reason with the big head soldier. He did not take off his scarf because he could not touch his mouth, so he just moved his lips slightly and asked Lorraine to say to him: "I brought the whole ship of food, and I want to meet the Governor."

Today's Green Bay is in chaos. How could the guard know if a grain ship has arrived? He just stared at Huang Xuan with suspicious eyes and shouted: "Indigenous people, pull down your mask."

Huang Xuan obediently pulled the mask down, moved his lips as little as possible, and said, "Soldier, you only need to do your business well. I want to meet the Governor, but you can't decide whether to meet me on behalf of the Governor, do you understand?"

The Dutch in the crowd seemed to hear the sound here. A guy with feathers on his head said something to the people beside him. Another soldier came over and said, "Let him go over, the governor said he would see him."

The spearman looked at Huang Xuan with hatred, but when he moved away, Huang Xuan shrugged again. Those who came here were guys who could not make it through Europe, and even criminals. If Spitsbergen had not become the center of whales hunting, the East India Company would not have thought of this land located in the northernmost part of the earth. Therefore, it would be unnecessary to discuss the issue of politeness with these people.

"Who are you?" Huang Xuan pulled down the hat on his head and bowed slightly.

"Fan Houwei Lu Wei."

The old guy with an arrogant expression. This is Huang Xuan's first judgment. He is older than the people around him. At the same time, as the center of the conversation, he was the first person to speak. Huang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Governor, I will say hello to you on behalf of Mr. Yoma Olila."

Huang Xuan's judgment was correct, but Wei Luwei thought he had heard of his name, so he waved his hand to order the guards to walk away and said, "What is Mr. Olila?"

Huang Xuan chuckled and said, "It's the president of Nokia, sir. I was ordered to send a batch of grain here, originally planned to sell it."

Everyone around him laughed, with a big nose smiling particularly exaggeratedly, and said with a hat: "Come to Spitsbergen to sell food, children, we support the whole of Europe."

The arrogant guy. Huang Xuan's second comment, but he still smiled and said: "Nokia has just been established and has little understanding of the situation, but the food has arrived and the fleet has left, so I want to find a buyer to sell the food."

"Oh?" Wei Luwei was obviously interested. Although he was called the Governor, it was completely different from the Chinese people's understanding of Hong Kong Governor. The East India Company in the 17th century was like the Dutch colonial advance army taking the tertiary industry development department, and the latter was the source of colonization. Therefore, the actual identity of the Governor was a merchant, a greedy merchant with force.

"Mainly rice and wheat, as well as a small amount of spices and sugar, are all good things."

In Europe, spices and sugar have just passed its highest price, but they are still expensive commodities. As for food, Europe is always short of food. The rise of the Netherlands is largely due to its fishery supplying a large amount of food. According to technical theory, it was the Dutch who invented a method that could remove fish intestines with one knife, and the wheels of history began to whirl.

"It's all good things." Big Nose was honest, but just sighed, but was stopped by Wei Luwei's stern eyes. The Governor said lightly: "It's the season for whaling and going to sea. I'm afraid there are not many ships to transport your goods."

Huang Xuan knew that this guy wanted to lower the price, but he really couldn't wait. If the transaction could not be completed within three days, he would have to take the batch of grain home and lose millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity in vain. Moreover, he was not actually ready to transport it away.

"Lorraine, can't we grab a batch back?" Looking at the whale being divided, Huang Xuan couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Anyway, you're stuffing it directly into the plane passage, so we'll take it away directly, why bother paying for these garbage?"

"If you only take away a dozen whales, you'll be satisfied, that's fine." Lorraine didn't object, "But if these Dutch people attack you, I can't guarantee your safety. The base is currently only at level 22, and the energy used through the plane channel is very high. Once the energy consumed exceeds the storage capacity, you can't go back."

"You can't even beat the medieval people?"

"It will not be the Middle Ages after the Renaissance." Lorraine corrected: "Your body strength cannot even resist the puncture of a spear. I think the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low in the face of so many people."

"What's the cost, it's a mess." Knowing that he could only endure exploitation, Huang Xuan calmed down and gritted his teeth, saying, "Mr. Governor, there are a lot of food. If it's really not enough, I can keep some here and wait until the fleet comes next year, but I'm willing to exchange food for Longyle's whale meat."

Wei Luwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Xuan, "Save some?" He seemed to be considering whether this was a bribe. The Dutch, who was dressed in orange and yellow behind him, said at this time: "We can transport whale oil to Europe by ourselves. Svalbar does not need food, nor does it need whales." Everyone laughed again as he said that.
