Hartford, June 26, 1786.
In the governor's office in Connecticut, Carmen, dressed in a light beige dress, smiled and sat opposite governor Peabody.
"Bright morning, isn't it, Ms. Xavier?" said the governor, sipping his coffee.
"Hartford is not like the changeable weather in England. Bright is the most common scene in the clear summer sky." Carmen folded his hands. "And Mr. governor, the topic of weather should have appeared in the opening speech, but now it suddenly appears in the middle of our topic, does it mean..."
"Aggressiveness doesn't match your beautiful face at all, madam."
"I'm overjoyed to be praised by you, sir." Carmen stood up and saluted governor Qi Qi with Sharon. "But Mr. governor, since Drake is not welcome in Connecticut, I think it's time for me to leave."
"It was a pleasant conversation today, madam."
"Me too, sir. I wish you good health."
"Thank you."
The door of the conversation closed. Carmen leaned over and turned. He could not see disappointment and anxiety on his face. He picked up his bag and moved slowly to the door like when he first arrived.
The solid flat bottom of leather boots on the carpet is silent. Carmen and the governor, Sharon and the governor's secretary are also silent. This is a farewell atmosphere. Each step makes the already not close relationship more loose.
Twelve Steps later, Carmen stood with his legs in front of the huge door, but the governor's secretary didn't follow the etiquette to open the door for the lady. The two sides were so deadlocked.
"The more setbacks, the stronger." the governor gently picked up the coffee. "Ms. Xavier, Connecticut is very interested in Drake's plan. I believe it can give us a greater voice in the new America."
But unlike other parts of the world, what gives us guidance is not interests, but the world's first written state constitution, which is followed by the whole of Connecticut. "
"Whether Drake can provide us with high and stable taxes in the long years to come cannot be decided by me. The State Constitution gives the right of choice and judgment to the people. Everything needs to be decided by our people..."

Harford is the capital of Connecticut.
In 1614, Dutch Explorer Adrian Bullock discovered this flat beach on the Connecticut River. According to his report, the New Netherland colony began fur trade with the park river here in 1623.
The first British immigrants arrived in 1635. They called it "new town" and renamed it Hartford in 1637 according to the hometown of Samuel stone, one of the immigrant leaders.
There were many great figures in this group of immigrants. In addition to Samuel stone, who led the immigrants to gain a foothold under the dual pressure of the Netherlands and Indians, there was also Thomas hook, a priest from Cambridge.
Reverend hook advocates freedom, equality and human rights, and believes that believers loved by God should be accompanied by fairness and justice, not forced by power and stage.
His sermon led to the formation of the basic law of Connecticut in 1639. It is this law that, for the first time, gives the people the broad right of autonomy in the form of law.
His concept of autonomy has greatly affected the later constitution of Connecticut. Even in today's national constitutional committee, many politicians still advocate taking the constitution of Connecticut as the blueprint to discuss the future constitution of the United States.
Freedom, autonomy and autonomy.
Connecticut has the most enviable human rights atmosphere in the world today, and the rights of the government are limited to an appalling weak position by the state constitution.
Everything here is decided by the people, in other words, by capital.
Golden Avenue, Bushnell church hotel.
Unlike those large coastal towns, Hartford, located in the heart of the mainland, has a rigid and neat planning, horizontal and vertical.
Central Avenue is the central road of the town, from which countless horizontal branches develop into the whole Hartford.
The town center of Hartford is small, from north to south. The Golden Avenue connects the Christian Church and cemetery. The Library Street points to the public society, and the south of the society is close to the city hall.
The city hall is close to Arthur street and looks across the street from the public library. To the south of the library is Shelton Elmer street, known as "Hengyi Street". The two streets are cut off by Central Avenue. The state capital and Parliament are on the side of Shelton street, and the Baptist Association is located on the edge of Elmer street.
This is the central planning of the whole Hartford town. Politics, faith and academia are the irreplaceable central ideas of the town. The remaining material pursuits such as clothing, food, housing and transportation should make way for the rich spirit.
Through the clean large landing window, a pair of moving eyes stared at the announcement of the town from above indifferently.
Carmen lay lazily by the window, shaking the wine glass for a while, making the ice in the glass collide and make a rattling sound.
"I don't like this town. A group of mediocre people boast of being Athenian philosophers and think they can talk without eating or drinking."
"But what's the result? They deprived the government of its power and sold it to the plutocrats at a low price. Among them, Socrates could not be born. Only the autocratic emperor sitting high on money could be cultivated."
Speaking of it, she glanced sadly at Haina in the shadow: "Oh, are you listening?"
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"No."
Carmen sat up and was angry with Haina.
"Heina yesla, I don't know if you know that Hartford has no assassins against me. Lorraine put you in a group with me, and didn't let you be a guard!"
"I know." Haina turned away bored and looked like I didn't care about you. "You do yours, I do mine. It's very simple."
"Ha?!" Carmen took two breaths with a long voice. "Then please tell Miss siglett that the governor has decided to introduce me to the celebrities in Hartford the day after tomorrow. The messenger delivering the invitation passed by my window ten minutes ago. Please seize the opportunity and don't pass by the party."
"OK."
"And!" Carmen glared at Haina angrily. "This city is very sensitive to strangers, especially strange blacks who move freely. I advise you not to let anyone see you."
"No one will see me." Hannah put on her hood and stepped back. "Besides, I'm not black."
There seems to be a temporary distortion in space.
When Carmen came back, Haina had quietly dissipated in the corner of the wall like smoke. The heavy door sobbed softly and told Carmen that she was the only one left in the room.
"I really don't know how you walk..." Carmen curled up and sipped his wine. "I seem to have asked you before... Before... When we were very good."
"No, you didn't ask."

"Get out."
