"I don't quite understand. I'm just doing business. These goods bought from France should not violate the regulations promulgated by His Majesty."
Li He laughed and said lightly: "To tell you the truth, a large number of strange French people have been sneaking ashore in Tasmania recently. We are investigating where these French people come from."
"Your ship is bound for France. After many inspections, there will be some French people on your ship for no apparent reason."
"That's why your ship was seized."
"Do you know the reason now?"
Earl Howard suddenly panicked and said immediately: "Your Excellency, you are unjust."
"My ship frequently travels to and from France, but those unfamiliar French people only boarded my ship after they obtained Australian immigration qualifications."
"And these people were supposed to board Drew's merchant ship, but due to some circumstances, Drew's ship couldn't carry them, so I took them with me."
"These things have little to do with us."
Hearing this sentence, Li He's eyes flashed with light and asked: "You said these people are people on Drew's ship?"
"Explain exactly what happened. Tell me honestly."
Howard said it all: "Drew and I have a cooperative relationship. My ship often helps Drew transport people from France to Europe. Of course, he will pay me a certain shipping fee."
"Sir, my cooperation with Drew is very simple. I just borrowed his dock. Apart from these things, we have no other business dealings."
After hearing this sentence, Li He already understood it almost.
He didn't know why Drew needed to establish such a trade relationship with Earl Howard for a long time, and even needed Earl Howard's ship to secretly transport people from France.
"Sir, can you let my ship go now? I have nothing to hide in these matters. I have told you everything."
Li He glanced at him, stood up and left, saying as he left: "Your matter is over, and everything you said is true. It seems that those French people who suddenly appeared were not caused by you."
"I have something else to do, so I won't bother you."
After saying this, Li He stood up and left.
After watching Li He leave, Drew suddenly grabbed the cup Li He used to drink tea and slammed it!
"I, the noble Earl of Britain, have never ever been wronged like this. Even when I left Britain, I have never been treated like this!"
Earl Howard looked at Li He's long-disappeared back and ordered his servant: "Tell Drew that I helped him with his matter. I hope he can complete what he promised me as soon as possible."
There was a flash of viciousness in Earl Howard's eyes. Without the Dragon Flame Army, a little general would dare to do this to him now.
However, when Drew's plan is successfully implemented, Li He will feel better!
Li He was sitting on the carriage, thinking about why Drew had to deploy a large number of people from France during this period.
These people are indeed not illegal immigrants, they all have entry permits.
But this is not worth the gain for Drew. To apply for an entry permit, you have to pay a large sum of money. It is impossible for so many French people to come to help Drew work.
Labor on the island is cheaper for Drew.
And not only that, although Drew has immigrated so many French people, he does not have these people in his factory, which means that it is very possible that Drew's people may now be provided with capital and livelihood by him.
For a businessman, this is something that is almost impossible to get in return.
