"Go to Dashi! No, no! There is a savage country and a cannibal country over there, so it must not be!" When Luo Dacai heard that Hong Tao was going to Dashi, it was even further away, he suddenly became excited, shook his hand and shook his head. Seeing that although he and Hong Tao had always disliked each other, he still thanked Hong Tao from the bottom of his heart, and he could only give Hong Tao a thumbs up for his business talents and quality. Some people are born to be inappropriate. No matter how good their partners are, they will always look at each other and do not deal with them, but it does not affect their normal work.

"Hahaha, uncle, these things are all told by the grandsons of Pu? Don't worry, when I come back this time, you will ask the Dashi merchants with the surname Pu, and see that they can't scare you with the Savage Kingdom and the Cannibal Kingdom. I guess they should say that there are a group of pirates who are murderous and holding the mouse flag. Don't listen to them yelling, they just don't want the merchants of the Song Dynasty to go to Dashi to steal their wealth. You are also an old sea merchant. You don't understand this twists and turns? But then again,

There are indeed many pirates over there, and it is really dangerous to go by our Song Dynasty merchant ships. When I come back, I will protrude the route and then take out the charts for everyone. Whoever wants to go, go with me or go by myself. Those guys named Pu should cry at that time!" Hong Tao was a little moved by Luo Dacai's performance. Luo Youde's uncle is a bit like his father-in-law Bo Fu. He is conservative, but kind-hearted, and is good to his own people from the bottom of his heart. He can also tell the difference between good things and people.

"Brother Hong, you can just know the chart yourself. That's what you earned with your life. Everyone is a person who has been scrambling on the sea for many years and understands this. I suggest that you can organize a fleet, escort everyone over and charge some fees, which is already very kind. If Brother Hong has this intention, I will handle the investment business, not much. Guangzhou and Quanzhou alone. Those who are willing to follow Brother Hong to go to Dashi to conquer the world will have more than ten or eight ships. As long as Brother Hong can go smoothly from there, they can be more than ten or eight ships.

I don’t have to arrange for my brother, so the guests who come to visit me can step through my doorstep.” Luo Youde was a little excited when he heard that Hong Tao was going to Dashi Country, but what Hong Tao said was reasonable. They could not go together, otherwise no one in the family would make decisions. He believed that Hong Tao could come back. But he was unwilling to watch the route Hong Tao had explored for free for others, because Hong Tao didn’t understand the rules of the Song Dynasty, so he had to help pick up the leaks.

"Investment? Let me tell you how to tell me!" Such a modern word actually popped out of Luo Youde's mouth so naturally, which surprised Hong Tao very much. He wanted to hear what investment in the Song Dynasty looked like.

It turns out that the investment promotion model was not new in the Song Dynasty. Most of the ships in the Song Dynasty went out to do business in Nanyang, and most of them were in partnership. That is, the owner of the ship came out to invest in the investment. He agreed to go where he planned to go and what goods he brought. Then other maritime merchants brought different goods with sticks, and everyone gathered a boat of different goods to go to the same place to trade. Even if they bought it, they would not conflict with each other, so as not to lower the price and let outsiders take advantage of it.

The sailing of the boat is not intentional, but a helpless act under the restrictions of navigation conditions. If you want to trade in oceans, the ship must be big, and the ship is expensive. Some small and medium-sized maritime merchants have little capital and cannot build large ships themselves. However, the maritime merchants who can afford large ships do not have so many ways to get enough goods and manpower, so everyone just complement each other. The fees are evenly distributed, and the ship owners will pay part of the ship's money. This is also suitable for the owners and maritime merchants. Anyway, no matter whether the ship is full or not, they have to go there.

In addition, running ocean trade is still a very dangerous thing in this era. Maybe even the people and ships will be gone. If you escape the storm and waves, there will be pirates waiting for you, if you escape the storm and waves, pirates, and diseases will be waiting for you. Anyway, these maritime merchants are not less dangerous than the storm and family members who are driving the sea. They generally do not spend all their money, and put their lives on a ship, and they are more willing to share the risks. Many people join forces to go to sea together. Although they make less money, they will not be able to recover because of one failure. As long as the family members can keep traveling to the sea, and come back once in three or five times, they can make up for all the previous losses.

Hong Tao thinks this model is very good. It is much better than the Chinese in later generations who dismantle their own people. All good habits are not inherited. The bad habits are not bad at all. If you want to fight for this, you have to beat the Mongolians back and prevent them from ruining good things.

"Then it's so hard for Brother Lao. I'll prepare the sugar for me. I'll leave in August and I won't be back in the first month of next year. I'll tell my father-in-law about the sugar production workshop. You can contact him after I leave. In addition, you'll also ask about the offer of horses to the official family in Lin'an and find a suitable candidate. If it's not really not available, I suggest that neither you nor your uncle should be this official, so as not to be trouble in the future. It's best to go to your house to find someone to show up. They are all famous people, and

Why not do it if you are keen on being an official?" Hong Tao explained all the funerals he could think of. When the Hong Yu returned to the port, he sent someone to send Luo Youde and Luo Dacai to the shore with a small boat. He stood on the boat and simply bid farewell to them, and then directed the two sailboats to return directly. Now he had no intention of going ashore to experience the life of the Song Dynasty. There was still more than a month left, and the training of new sailors must be added, because two new ships were about to be launched soon.

This time, the journey to the Arabian Sea was long, and if you could take one more boat, you would have more power. He didn't explain it clearly to Luo Youdequan. This voyage was not only about exploring new routes, but also about fighting with the locals. Hong Tao had already aimed at a supply point that he was determined to win, and he would give it to the army first. If you say it's not, then you'll spend money and don't give it! Sorry, the big slingshot and grenade should be on the stage. Once Hong Tao was tempted to kill, it would not be the degree to which he would be scared by killing a few people. Hong Tao has always advocated the eradication of the roots. He basically had no limit on foreigners, and could do any immoral things.

In 1231, in the fourth year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty, in mid-August, the Jinhekou on Luzon Island. The originally deserted river estuary suddenly turned into a mast ocean. Four identical large sailboats parked in the deep water in the center of the river. Seven or eight small wooden boats returned from the shore, transporting ships of people and materials to the four sailboats. Hong Tao was going to take almost all the sailors in the Jinhe Bay. This was a thousand miles away. Most of the people who saw off on the dock were women, elderly people and very young children, because he also brought all the students over ten years old in the school onto the boat, saying that he wanted to take them to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books.

"I must come back, I won't keep my eyes closed if you don't come back!" Seeing the young and strong teams of people being pulled away by the boat, Old Man Rong felt guilty. If Hong Tao could not come back, they would not even get the sailors on the two whaling ships. For more than a month of quarrels on Hong Tao's trip to Dashiguo, the board of directors quarreled for more than a month, and there were too many oppositions. In the end, Old Man Bofu rushed back from Ximaozhou and stood firmly on Hong Tao's side, so he barely passed the resolution.

"Weng Weng, don't worry, I can't guarantee that if I don't die alone, but at least two ships of people can come back, I promise!" Hong Tao said very easily, but as soon as he said this, a layer of melancholy immediately appeared on the faces of the people around him.

"No! The person is coming back! The boat is coming back. Azhu must be pregnant with a boy this time. You can watch your son lose his grandfather!" Old Man Bofu was still so serious, but his hand holding Hong Tao's clothes betrayed him and kept trembling.

"Okay, I will definitely come back. Azhu, don't cry. Next time my grandfather is not here, I will take you out secretly! Okay, get on the boat, Cixi, if I come back, it will be fine. You will be a formal resident of Jinhewan in the future. I have chosen the place to build the house for you, so I will build it behind my house!" Hong Tao was not used to this kind of farewell scene with tears. He grabbed Bozhu and kissed her in the face, and then walked to the springboard while pointing a finger at the sky.

"Don't worry, when you come back, the house will be built. I still expect my son to be the captain! What do you see? Didn't you hear? I will be the master in the future! A group of lazy guys, move quickly, look at the feet, dare to bump, I throw you into the river to feed crocodile! Band! Play music!" When Cixi heard the last sentence, she jumped up from the ground, stared at the red eyes, and swung the whip in her hand, and roared at the slaves who were carrying goods to the boat. It has to be said that he is really a very organized person. He also specially picked out more than a dozen people from the slaves who could use instruments of various races to form a small band. But this song is a bit fucked, squeaking like a group of monkeys in the jungle quarreling.

"Hahahaha... You're ruthless!" Hong Tao never expected that Cixi had this ability. He didn't care whether the music was good or not. He was so energetic. Unfortunately, the boat had already left the dock, so he stretched out a thumbs up to express his appreciation.

Compared with the crying and chaotic crowds on the dock, the warship was very quiet. The captains gathered on Hong Tao's flagship Hong Yu, waiting for the fleet commander to board the ship. Due to the lack of manpower, Hong Tao, the fleet commander, had to serve as the captain of Hong Yu. Bo Jiao and Kar are the captains of the two new ships, Zhenzhou and Qiongzhou respectively, with hull numbers oo3 and oo4. The original Haibo was captained by the Mongolian navy who was captured from outside Dengzhou Port, and Chen Qihong and Bo Xiaosan were the first and second mates. (To be continued.)
