Chapter 111: The old man enters the city
"...Yes!" Bo Jiao was unwilling to give up. He liked to run around the sea with Hong Tao in a boat, and could still go to foreign countries far away to catch slaves, and use his own big ship to knock over all the broken ships. △ But he did not dare to disobey Hong Tao's orders, and even if he was unhappy, he had to agree happily. Hong Tao's education for him had basically worked.
Hong Tao only stayed in Ximaozhou for more than four days. He took his two female apprentices into the yard of the glass kiln to make a batch of soap and candles, and asked Bozhu to replace Bojiao's position. He then picked two 14-5-year-old female children from the Weng family and the Bu family. He brought the Predator together with Luo Dacai, installed half-cabin whale oil, half-finished soap and candles, and raised his sail to drive towards Guangzhou.
The grain price in Zhenzhou Port is a bit expensive, and ironware and farm tools are not cheap. There is no suitable buffalo for sale. If you want to purchase these items, you have to go to a big city. Hong Tao’s main purpose of coming back this time is to help Jinhe Camp buy supplies and large animals. The infrastructure there has begun to take shape, and the next step is to open up land and farm. Even if there are slaves to drive them, large animals are still needed, which can improve a lot of efficiency. In addition, Hong Tao also hires a few real farmers and blacksmiths from the mainland, Huang Hai and Wen Laoer, who can farm and make irons, but they are not professional. Instead of letting them make do, it is better to work hard for a dedicated person.
Is anyone willing to follow Hong Tao to open up land overseas? Hong Tao probably has no, but he can cheat. When he hired, he would not say that he wanted to open up land overseas. He only said that he was going to work on Hainan Island and should pay wages. But after the people got on the boat, they could not help them and directly took them to Jinhewan. They had to do what they wanted to do, and they had to do what they didn't want to do. If the resistance was too fierce, Hong Tao would not mind using a crossbow to destroy a few more.
Is this unethical? It's simply too unethical! People are not homeless and unemployed and jumped out of the cracks of the stones. Why do you want to separate the wife and children from others and open up land and farm for you? Hong Tao never even thought about this issue. All the process is of little significance to him. As long as it meets his ideas, he doesn't mind killing everyone in the world, if possible.
He didn't know what other time travel rebirth had. Anyway, he had not integrated into this era at this time, and he would never be able to integrate into this era. He just felt like he was playing a very grand strategy game in front of a computer. Everything, including himself, was a string of data in the computer. How to pass the level, how to pass the level quickly, and how to pass the level quickly and perfectly is the only question he considered. Sometimes Hong Tao felt that if this person could never die, it would be a burden, which would make people become dissatisfied and gradually lose their human nature. In many ordinary people's special issues, he would look at them very indifferently and have no sense of restraint.
Guangzhou City, Guangzhou City of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hong Tao finally came. After traveling through more than a year, he stepped onto the dock of this large port in the southern Song Dynasty. How could it be said that the weather has changed, and he didn't know anything at all, and there was no trace of Guangzhou City in later generations. For Hong Tao, this was a completely unfamiliar city. The crowds of people speaking in various dialects on the pier, and the shops hanging on the streets made him very curious. At the same time, when the Song people who saw Hong Tao looked at this tall young man dressed in short dress and had a pothole, they would involuntarily look at him, especially the Qin people who were dressed exactly the same, with red-haired and blue eyes.
"Carl, I have to regret to notify you that your salary this month is gone. Look at what you have made for me? Didn't you say that your dagger technique is superb?" Hong Tao was looked at by people like a giant panda, and finally couldn't help but pull Luo Dacai into a garment store on the side of the road. He looked at the store's bronze mirror and found the reason for being sideways. The head shape Carl used the dagger to make himself look so distinctive, but there was no inch flat, long and short, and his head looked like a pineapple, thorning everywhere!
"Sir, your skills are not very good. Didn't you say that in your hometown, you are the best skilled one?" Carl Guang heard Hong Tao say he wanted to pay a salary, but he never saw a copper coin in one time. He was always deducted for all kinds of reasons, so he didn't have any expectations for this wage. He was tough if he had no desires, and he couldn't get the wage anyway, so he might as well refute it and make a good talk first.
"You know what's the matter! This is called splitting, four or six points! You shouldn't have grown one side, you can't comb it. Look at me to make it for you, bah... Oh, come back!" Hong Tao cut a splitting for Carl with a dagger, which was actually quite good. For this reason, he also carved two combs with a whale. Unfortunately, Carl, a rustic bull, couldn't take care of it, and turned the splitting into a back. Can this look good? Hong Tao spitted into the palm of his hand, intending to act as a hairspray to help Carl comb it, but Carl ran out in a flash.
"Fuck! Hero! What is this thing you wear on the stick? Bagle!" Hong Tao just chased to the door and almost ran into a person who was about to enter the house. The two of them stood face to face. Hong Tao was happy again, and he knew the person in front of him!
The person at the door was a scholar, wearing a Confucian shirt and carrying a bamboo on his back! Hong Tao didn't know what this kind of schoolbag was called in the Song Dynasty, but he saw this kind of equipment in movies and TV. In ancient times, scholars would carry one when they traveled far away. In fact, they shouldn't be called a schoolbag. It was a small cabinet with a small pergola on it and an 80-liter mountaineering bag size on the back. In addition to this equipment, this person also held a wooden stick more than one meter long in his hand. It was nothing strange about the stick, but a string of bagels on the stick made Hong Tao feel very friendly, as if he was back in the past...
"Vulgar...hum..." Unfortunately, the man didn't give Hong Tao face, and his expression on his face was very contempt. He flashed and went into the garment store from Hong Tao, and even scolded Hong Tao.
"Uncle Luo, why did he scold me?" Hong Tao originally wanted to chase him and grab him and ask why he was rude, but the man entered the back of the room from the counter. It seemed that he was a family member of the garment shop. He was sitting on the ground and Hong Tao couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only turn around and ask Luo Dacai.
"You call a scholar and a hero. If he didn't think you were a foreigner, he would take you to the official position." Luo Dacai had entered an endless state of suffering since he got ashore in Guangzhou. The two people who were following him were not normal people, and they were treated with attention by everyone, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Oh, it's the wrong name... Is the food strung on his stick called a bagel?" Hong Tao was very glad that he didn't rush in to ask someone for advice, but he still missed the bagel strung on his stick.
"That's a ring cake..." Luo Dacai didn't have Luo Youde's patience, and only told Hong Tao a name.
"The ring cake is appropriate... what is the name of the bamboo backpack he carried?" Hong Tao didn't care about Luo Dacai's attitude. In this era, there shouldn't be many Song people who can communicate normally with him like Luo Youde. They are normal to look at themselves like fools. There is nothing to be unhappy because he is an alien.
"It's also a sensation! Mr. Hong..., it's almost time to arrive, so why not rush to the road first." Luo Dacai couldn't help it. He looked down on Hong Tao, a strange person. But he had to compromise. Mr. Hong! This word was called by him on the boat. He said that the person who calls business in their hometown is called that.
"Okay, I'd better ask your nephew to go. You are very boring." Hong Tao heard that Luo Dacai was finally willing to call him Mr. Hong, and he stopped looking around with satisfaction. He followed Luo Dacai to a street west of the wharf, but his expression on his face did not restrain himself. He would occasionally rush to the passing Song Dynasty women and bare their teeth and laugh. Basically, those who came back were rolling their eyes, but he didn't care.
