Early the next morning, Hong Tao took Karl, Qi Zu and three whaling team members, holding crossbows, and with the assistance of Cixi, drove two teams of 20 slaves to the Predator and Explorer, dragged three small wooden boats and sailed up the Jin River. ∈♀ Hong Tao, the small tributary, had been marked on his own chart, and it was easy to find seven or eight kilometers upstream of the camp.

"This is a top-notch rock. Just dig it down from here. I don't know how to look at the mines, but I need other people's hands. If it's all dug, it's gone and I need to find another mine." When Hong Tao brought Qi Zu to the place where he discovered the ore last time, Qi Zu used a hammer to chisel a few stones on the exposed rocks and looked at them in the sunlight, and immediately nodded to confirm Hong Tao's judgment. But at the same time, he also pointed out the current problem, which is the lack of professionals. He could make do with these slaves to mine, but could not find more copper mines.

"It's okay, you do it first, I'll solve the human affairs, hehe..." Hong Tao couldn't help but smile when he talked about people. It was him who deceived Qi Zu, or kidnapped him. He went to find someone, but this was just a means.

"Oh, this is all fate... let's work." Qi Zu saw Hong Tao's smile, and knew what he was thinking. It was difficult to explain this emotion clearly. Hong Tao was a kidnapper and an enemy to him, but the life Hong Tao provided him made him think that Hong Tao was his benefactor. He couldn't figure out whether it was a hatred or a benefactor for the time being, so he simply stopped thinking about it and called Cixi to drive the slaves to work.

"Everyone has to dig a bunch of stones! Otherwise, there is no food to eat! Hurry up!" Cixi didn't understand what kind of mine was or not. He thought he was chiseling stones to build a house, so he slapped the whip made of whale skin in his hand. This whip is his heirloom, and he always carried it with him and held it in his arms when he sleeps. For others, this is just a whip, and for him, this is the whole of life.

"Cixi, there is no need to be so much for quantitative measurements. Not all stones are needed. If you want this, do you see it? There are yellow-green stones on it." Hong Tao likes Cixi more and more, not to appreciate it, but just like it. With him, everyone in the camp saved a lot of effort, at least when ordering slaves to work, they would not have to turn over and drop the gestures they had passed.

"Everyone takes a look, and I can't remember and I have no food to eat. I just want such stones, everyone is so big!" Cixi jogged to Hong Tao, took the copper ore from Hong Tao with both hands, then raised it above her head, and ran back to the slaves, one by one for the slaves to see clearly. Finally, she stretched her arms and gestured about a rough scale, even if she had settled the amount of work for a day.

"Cixi, come here, take this and follow me!" After all the slaves took their tools and began to dig the mountain, Hong Tao pointed to the wooden barrel on the ground, and then walked upstream with Carl. Cixi, although she was small, was carrying a large wooden barrel, which contained a lot of things. She was not at all troublesome, and followed Carl honestly for more than three meters away, neither approaching nor far away.

Hong Tao was only interested in copper and was not curious about mining copper mines. If Cixi was asked to command there, the slaves would inevitably get whipped a few more times. This dog liked to show his loyalty in front of him. As long as he was present, he would not even let his own son be lazy. He was such a cruel person. Hong Tao took Carl and Cixi to go to gold hunting. There were not only copper mines, but also gold sand by the river. In the wooden barrel was the gold hunting tool made by Hong Tao for the Wen family. A wooden dustpan. If it was easy to use, it would have to try it. The thing was made by Hong Tao based on the memories of watching movies in later generations.

Three big men sat barefoot by the river to sift sand to play, which was not interesting at all. If it weren't for the fact that some small golden particles were found at the bottom of the dustpan, Hong Tao could only hold on for ten minutes. Even with the existence of those golden sands, Hong Tao had only persisted for one morning. After lunch, he stopped doing it and took Carl on a boat back to the Predator, then raised his sail and went downstream to the camp.

He threw the work of copper mining and gold mining to Qi Zu and Cixi. It doesn’t matter if there are not enough slaves. With Cixi, a traitor, taking the lead, he can catch as many slaves as he wants. There are many small fishing villages like Cixi’s family along the coast of Manila Bay. A raid came over in the middle of the night, and more than a dozen or even dozens of people were captured. Those who dared to run and resist would shoot and kill them, and they would never leave any living mouths, without realizing it.

Hong Tao himself did not have much interest in this kind of slave hunting game. After seeing too much separation and pain, he would inevitably have negative emotions in his heart. However, someone must do this job, not only to capture enough labor, but also to train these whaling team members to dare to trigger the trigger to anyone. Hong Tao, a team member who passively counterattacked because his life was threatened, wanted a group of evil people who dared to create death and could create death in different ways. Only in this way can he dare to take them to explore further places, and dare to take them to any land he thought was good, and turn anything he liked directly into his own.

In early November, the Predator and the Whaler sailed together. Hong Tao would take the crew to conduct a real long voyage, directly to the east entrance of the Strait of Malacca, which is Singapore in later generations. The one-way trip is more than 3,000 kilometers, and the estimated voyage time is 20 days. More than 30 young people on both ships will spend the Spring Festival at sea, and after returning to Jinhewan, it will be 1,230 years.

In order to minimize the danger, the two identical sailboats were equipped with three more whale crossbows, and each person was equipped with two harpoons, a machete and two hand crossbows. No matter how many armed Hong Tao was, he would have no choice. At present, these two ships are cruise ships, not warships, and speed was an advantage. Hong Tao was not afraid of anyone on the sea. The reason why he carried so many weapons was mainly to prepare for landing. Whoever said that long-distance adventures could not be robbed. As long as it was not a ship from the Song Dynasty, Hong Tao planned to steal anyone who didn't like it. If a ship from the Song Dynasty dared to provoke him on his own initiative, he would not mind adding a few more Song slaves to the Jinhe Mine.

On the night before departure, Hong Tao held hands with Bo Zhu in his small wooden house, in order to make Bo Zhu get pregnant as soon as possible. Every time I see Bo Fu, I focus on the topic of this. I have been married for a year and have not separated. Why doesn’t Bo Zhu get pregnant? Could it be that some organs of Hong Mouse, who is capable of cloth planting, have been affected by time and space? The answer is no, Hong Tao feels that he has nothing to do with himself. The culprit for Bo Zhu’s failure to get pregnant is himself. He doesn’t want Bo Zhu, who is just 19 years old, to have a baby so early.

Everything was good in the Song Dynasty, but the medical methods were still so ineffective. For any woman, giving birth was a gate of hell, and the queen was no exception. In this case, Hong Tao was unwilling to watch Bozhu leave in pain, and he would not be happy as long as there was such a possibility. Then why are you willing now? Because he was a bit far away this time, and it is not something he can control whether he can come back. If Bozhu lost himself without a child, it might not be a good thing for her.

"Rong Wengweng, if we haven't come back in February, you will arrange the rest. My suggestion is to give up Ximaozhou, take all the people there, cook whale oil here, and then we will send it to Guangzhou to Luo Youde by boat. We have the skills of shipbuilding, and there will be copper mines in the future. It is not a problem to support thousands of people here, and it is better to rush to the sea." Before leaving, Hong Tao drove away all the people who saw him off, but he left behind 10 people on the board of directors and told them his decision. If he really couldn't come back, Jinhewan would be a gift he gave to them.

"Tao Yizi, can you stop going? If you want to go, wait until the big ship is built before going, you can go safer." Wen Laoer didn't want something to happen to Hong Tao. The keel of the big ship has been laid. This is a completely different type of ship than before. Although Hong Tao has broken the construction method with the two of them in the past few months and said it many times, he still hopes that Hong Tao can be around him often. Many things are something that he has never encountered before when building ships before. It is useless to ask anyone, so he can only ask Hong Tao, the original designer.

"Winbert, you have been on the shore for too long. When will our sacrificing people be afraid of crossing the sea? These things are given to us by the sea. If you want to live a better life in the future, you have to ask for the sea! Why? One is a boat, the other is a person!
