Reborn As a Pirate

Mr. Boclon, Miami welcomes you.

As Raul was thrown out of the hall of the immigration agency neatly like a troublesome brat, the misunderstanding and anxiety of the Bocron family were reduced by more than half.

Freedmen are a well-deserved inferior in Spain itself.

Although because of the relationship of freedom, the law has given them the protection of human rights. Compared with the lower bankrupt people, the rich and powerful will at least restrain themselves in public, and will not abuse them by lynching.

But this kind of limited respect is only limited to the so-called public places. To put it more realistically, it is church, chapel, memorial square and royal palace.

They are used to being bullied, used to patience, Raul even prepared to be eaten by others for this blockage. Although there are young people's loyalty and fantasy, but more, they stand on their own The prediction of life from the class perspective.

Unexpectedly, the Drakes just threw him out...

No insults, no beatings, no selling him to slave traders, let alone handing him over to cannibal Indians.

After Mr. Pilot drew the map for them by himself, the Boclon family felt the tenderness from Miami for the second time, which made them ashamed, ashamed, and flattered.

Mom and Dad completely let go of their guard, held Raul's head down and walked into the gate of the Immigration Agency again, wanting to apologize to the British in the house, and sincerely asked for the address of the real Immigration Agency by the way.

Then...

After Mr. Boclon explained his purpose and identity, they were brought before Vivienne and Faraming by the guards.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on January 15th, my carriage will be waiting for you by the fountain in the garden square on time, Miss Vivian.

I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Section Chief...

Miss Vivienne spoke English shyly. Although Dad couldn't understand, he still vaguely smelled the sour smell of passionate love.

He was debating whether to step forward to bother him, weighing whether he would repeat his son's mistakes by recklessly interrupting Lianyu, and be kicked out of the house by others.

He was still hesitating, but Vivian put on an impeccable business smile first.

Mr. Boclon, Miami welcomes you.

Ah! Thank you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Dad panicked and slapped Raul on the back of the head with his hands,

Boy, apologize quickly!

No need. Vivienne spoke proficient Spanish, Spain and Great Britain have a lingering history, and we can understand the guard in the child's heart. After all, you only see that Drake is the chamber of commerce of Great Britain. Preconceived ideas are human. common sense.

Dad was so moved that he was about to cry.

That... Ma'am, we... We just came from the country, and the people on the boat asked us to find the immigration agency. We never knew that the Chamber of Commerce in Miami also had its own immigration agency, so...

There is only one. Vivienne interrupted with a smile, The entire Miami area, including all the mountains, water, land and islands on both sides of the Bay of Biscay, is the legal property of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Resettlement of immigrants requires land. On private land, this kind of thing is of course not suitable for the city hall to lead, at least it is not suitable for it to be completely led by them.

So this is the real immigration office in Miami. Except here, all the offices in the city under the banner of immigration affairs are illegal, even if they are official, they are also illegal official.

Illegal...official?

Dad's eyes were staring, and with his common sense, he couldn't understand the circumstances under which the official who made the law would be illegal.

And why does His Majesty the King insist on establishing a town on British land? Can't you do it in other places? Isn't all Florida His Majesty's? Isn't Miami in Florida?

Vivienne has completely entered the state of a shopping guide. With a blushing that has not faded, she nodded and lowered her head, lifted her skirt, and curtsied to the Burke family.

Mr. Boclon, the Drake Chamber of Commerce thank you for choosing Miami as your second home. Our agency will provide you with a home-like immigration service based on the principle of customer first. We believe that it will not take long for your hometown to become yours. A vague mark deep in the soul, only here is worthy of your devotion.

Giving everything? Dad burst into tears.

Little Sophia tugged at her mother's sleeve, and asked in a childish voice, Mom, are we going to be sold?

...

Different from other colonial towns, Miami has established the special reality of the separation of property rights and administration since the day it was founded.

This feature makes Miami unique in many ways, and the biggest difference is probably the commercial immigration process designed by Carmen Xavier and supplemented by Lorraine Drake.

Compared with the immigration procedures of other cities and towns, Miami's procedures are undoubtedly complicated, but at the same time they appear to be formal, fair, and compliant with laws and regulations, just like knocking on the cornerstone of a town. steady.

The first step in this process is naturalization.

Last year, new immigrants had to ferry to the Hekou Town Hall first, provide certificates and registration materials to the household registration department there, and then cancel their old registration and exchange for a new local household registration.

This year, under the initiative of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the Household Registration Division has added a special window for naturalization business in the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce's Immigration Department, so that new immigrants finally don't have to go back and forth between the two sides of the Bay of Biscay.

They can directly complete a series of procedures such as deregistration and naturalization at the Immigration Department, and then go directly to the second step to purchase land on their own.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce promotes the commercialization of real estate in Miami. The elite team of Xavier House has labeled each piece of land, and each label has a different coefficient behind it.

As long as the benchmark price is adjusted, the land price of the entire Miami will be adjusted year-on-year, which means that there is no free land in Drake's hands.

However, the pioneers are often from poor backgrounds, and they left their hometowns to find new homes because they could not survive in the old places.

It is simply unrealistic to make money from them. Lorraine and Carmen have a clear understanding of them, and know that their greatest value to Miami lies in their popularity, manpower, future, and the votes of the congressmen granted to them by household registration.

The scramble for the pioneers is the scramble for control of Miami. For this reason, Lorraine personally concocted an independent land purchase with Miami characteristics.

There are four land purchase windows of the Immigration Department, one is for commercial houses and mansions with a unit price above ten thousand gold, one is for ten thousand gold apartments, and one is for hundred gold level fertile land. Those who can’t afford anything can go to the last window. Lands are randomly assigned by drawing lots.

The Burlon family is of course the last one.

After completing the naturalization procedures, Vivienne consulted with a family of four, and quickly led them to the lottery window.

Miami now has six districts, the administrative center of the Estuary District, the trade center of Miami Beach, the cultural and educational center of the College District, the Virginia Island Xiaokou District, the agricultural center of Tianyuan District, and the Jackdaw District that does not accept immigration applications for the time being.

Except for the Jackdaw District, immigrants can freely choose where to settle down, but only Tianyuan District enjoys immigration subsidies.

Dad blinked: Subsidy?

Yes, in the nine villages and three townships of Tianyuan District, if the immigrants give up their own choice, they can randomly get ten acres of fertile land, a big tent that can accommodate eight people, two octagonal gold coins, and a quota of 300 kilograms of potatoes per person.

The latter three subsidies are the welfare policies given by the Drake Chamber of Commerce to new immigrants, and the fertile land is in the form of transactions. The Drake Chamber of Commerce will sell the fields to immigrants at market prices. The transaction costs will be borne by the Chamber of Commerce, and the transaction tax will be borne by immigrants.

Tax? Dad was nervous for a while.

I saw a regretful expression on Vivienne's face: Miami's land transaction tax is 10% of the transaction value, two-way. The Chamber of Commerce bears the seller's part, and the immigrant bears the buyer's part.

We have tried our best to fight for it, hoping that the city hall will exempt the relevant transaction tax and reduce the burden on immigrants who are newcomers. But the city hall seems to have misunderstood our good intentions. The transaction must be tax-paid. You are the same, and we are the same.
