Sea Blessed One

To readers: The main body of this story begins in the second volume, "The Tavern and the Apprentice". The first volume, "Polar Whale Song," focuses on the protagonist's growth experience in the Arctic Circle, with a quiet and introspective style. If you are more concerned about maritime trade, institutional innovation and power games in the 17th century, it is recommended to start from the second volume to experience the complete context of the rise of Newport. While others wrote about pirates robbing gold, he wrote about pirates building banks; while others wrote about time travel cheats, he wrote about hard-core historical deductions. This is an anti-conventional epic that completely deconstructs the Age of Discovery. There is no Long Aotian, no golden finger of the system, only the cruel game between the cold and precise profit gears and the dark side of history. In the 17th century, an orphan from an Inuit tribe living in the Arctic unexpectedly inherited the dilapidated tavern in Nassau Port and the mantle of the old pirate king. Facing the turbulent political situation in Europe and the treacherous eastern seas, he had no intention of conquering the ocean, but wanted to reshape its order. From double-entry accounting and standardized shipbuilding to joint-stock taverns and privateering charters, he created an "Amsterdam on the Sea" in the Caribbean in the 17th century. When his business territory spanned the seven seas, and even used thirty cannonballs to force out of the Qing Empire's "relocated and forbidden seas," the empires and navies of the old world finally felt fear. This is the ultimate historical sandbox deduction: the mainstream official history has never changed, but the dark side of history has been completely rewritten. While all pirates were conquering the oceans, he was building civilization. "Sea Blessed One" - True freedom is not lawlessness, but letting the rules work for yourself.
