Chapter 66 The First Guest (Guarantee II)

Can't you judge by the number of sailing days without telling others? The answer is no. Hong Tao is causing trouble for himself in this regard. He ordered the rest of the warships in the fleet to return first, and his ship pulled Luo Youde and Wen Nan to tease a big circle on the sea, dragging it for five days before returning to Jinhewan. According to this voyage, most places in Southeast Asia can be reached. If you want to guess, go guess.

The reason why it is so mysterious is that Hong Tao is afraid that someone will be attacked when he knows it. He is sure that in this era, there is no fleet that can attack Jinhewan from the sea. It is useless to have too many numbers, and he does not look at the quantity and quality in the sea. He is just instinctively willing to keep some secrets and prevent others from fully seeing their own strength. This should be a habit.

Leaving early summer and returning late autumn, this is how the life of sailors is. Time has to be calculated based on the month. Once the voyage is about half a year, it will not come back. So Hong Tao feels that time passes quickly, and a year is about to pass again in a blink of an eye. He seems to have done nothing. But when the Guangzhou City Cruise into Jinhekou and turned a corner and saw the large residential and acres of land on the north bank, he felt that he had not been idle for the past few years, and a sense of accomplishment arises naturally.

Since occupying this river bank more than three years ago, there have been rapid changes here. At this time, Jinhewan was already a small town, larger than Zhenzhou City, but there was no city wall. The board of directors also mentioned the construction of the city wall, but it was rejected by Hong Tao. Instead of spending so many people to build a circle of broken walls that did not produce any benefits, it is better to build a few more large ships to go out.

It has been found that there is no people within a hundred kilometers around Jinhewan. It is still deserted after a few days of tracing along the river. Apart from those damn monkeys, there is no need for land defense. According to the information Hong Tao obtained from Cixi and others, the people closest to him should be the Mayi tribe in the south. It is almost 400 kilometers away. There are primeval forests and mountain rivers in the middle, and there is no road to be feasible, so there is no need to consider land defense. As long as the estuary is blocked, no one can get in, and it is even more delusional to land from both sides of the estuary. The years of silt has caused mudflat land within ten kilometers of the estuary, and boats cannot get close, even if small boats are used, people cannot get up. The silt is too soft and sticky, and animals dare not get up. How many people will get up.

Hong Tao was unwilling to let the people in Jinhewan develop a passive defense mentality. What he wanted to cultivate was a group of nations with fangs and thinking about how to harm others all day long. Who has ever heard of lions and tigers hiding holes for themselves. Wherever they go, they are homes, let alone other animals coming to harass them, even if you get closer, you can't keep them as food. Jinhewan is just a breeding ground for these lions and tigers to rest. The real home is far more than Jinhewan. Even if you can't take it down, even if you can't take it down, it's the minimum requirement to cover the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

"Is this here, was it founded by Brother Hong?" Since entering Jinhekou, Luo Youde could go out of the captain's room to look around. When he saw a huge town suddenly appear on the shore, his beard on his chin became unlucky again, and when his hands trembled, several of them were pulled off. But he himself did not feel any pain. All of this in front of him made him completely enter a petrified state. He once imagined that Hong Tao had his own small force overseas, a small fishing village like Ximaozhou. When he thought of the extreme, it was a big village. But everything in Jinhewan was completely beyond his expectations. The territory was too large and there were too many people, everything was too strange, and it was completely a paradise.

"Hehehe. Not bad, right? It's three and a half years old, and the population is less than 2,000. I don't know how much farmland is. Everyone can plant as much as they want. And it takes one year to grow. This is called rotation to avoid excessive nutrient loss in the land." Hong Tao looked at Luo Youde's expression and was really proud. At this time, silence is better than words. The more surprised others, the more they recognize their achievements.

"You, where did you come from so many people?" Luo Youde knew that Hong Tao had taken away many Du family members from Ximaozhou, but there were no two thousand people in Hainan Island. In recent years, there were indeed very few fishing boats for Du family members near Zhenzhou, but there were still many Du family members in Qiongzhou.

"He caught it like me, but fortunately, he didn't arrest the Song people except us." Wen Nan took over Luo Youde's words and helped Hong Tao explain the population source of Jinhewan.

"This is the slave that Brother Hong asked me before!" After the ship slowly approached the dock, Cixi brought two teams of slaves with iron chains around her neck to prepare to unload the goods. After Luo Youde saw it, he finally understood the whole story. It was a matter of a few years ago that Hong Tao had already started to make arrangements.

"Of course, but I didn't abuse them. Some people live better than they live in their hometowns. And they are not slaves all their lives. In fact, they are more appropriate to be called prisoners of war. When they prove their value with labor, I will let them be residents here. Of course, I deprive them of the right to choose, and I have to be right whether I want to think about it or not. Cixi, I brought back your bastard son to you. He said he was not willing to marry Weng Ya, but said it in front of Weng Ya, which made girls feel embarrassed. You said that you have such a good brain, why did you give birth to such a confused insect? Go home and educate me well!" Every time Hong Tao saw Cixi, he felt very good. His legs were becoming more and more like him, not like him, but like him in every move. Because he was always addicted to smoking, he would hold a small wooden stick and bite him to play with him. Now he also took his eyes off. His expression looked very similar to him from a distance, but he was not handsome.

"This bastard! I won't beat him to death when I go home!" When Cixi heard that her son had told him all the little thoughts she had taught him, she still said in front of Weng Ya. She was so angry that she jumped up. She waved the whip in her hand and roared at the compassion on the deck.

"Hey! No, we don't engage in beating and scolding. He is my crew member, so he is not allowed to be beaten. He has to reason. I will inform the kitchen later that I have guests here today, so I will add a few more wild game tonight." Hong Tao did not agree with Cixi's way of disciplineing children. Whether it is boys or girls, he used an educational method, that is, beating. Just like he usually manages slaves, he has become an occupational disease.

"That's, that's...but I can't tell him. You taught him so many principles in school, how can I educate me?" Cixi immediately nodded in agreement with Hong Tao's order, but he had his own difficulties.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, just take care of yourself, don't worry so much. Brother Luo, try the grass mud horse. This is a good horse I left behind, more majestic than the one dedicated to the official family. Please!" Hong Tao no longer had to stare at Cixi to load and unload the things on the ship. He was more experienced than himself and thoughtful, and was a good housekeeper. So, he was much more relaxed. At this time, a horse slave had already brought two horses, and happened to ride on his way to Jinhewan with Luo Youde.

"Brother Hong must not say this, otherwise I will never dare to get on the horse for my brother." Luo Youde was still hesitating whether he should ride a grass mud horse that was even more majestic than the official family. As a result, he saw that Wen Nan had turned over and had a horse, so he stopped pretending, no one likes to drive a good bike or ride a good horse.

The three of them rode tall horses and walked towards the residential area along the gravel road. The residents along the way just said hello. Now the people of Jinhewan have become accustomed to having large sea boats returning from overseas from time to time. It is strange that anyone without children is a sailor on the sea boat. Hong Tao almost digs all the young people here. The farmland, livestock, mining, shipbuilding and smelting at home are all taken care of by middle-aged and elderly people and women. In fact, they are commanding and commanding, and the heavy work is done by slaves.

The gravel roads in the small town are paved with stones transported from the mines, which are just not wasted. At present, this road is still extending east along the river bank. The entire residential area of ​​Jinhewan is in a long shape. The north side of the residential area is full of farmland, shipbuilding, smelting, casting, and oil refining industries with high noise and severe pollution have been moved to the southern bank of the river and are in the downstream of the residential area. Otherwise, the large forging hammers driven by the water trucks in the smelting workshop will be very noisy when they start to move.

"This is my home. My eldest daughter-in-law, Brother Luo, has seen it, but there is also a second wife, a foreigner, Senya! Azhu!" After walking along the gravel road for half a mile, Hong Tao walked to his two wooden houses. He originally wanted to call his wife out and say hello to Luo Youde, but after shouting a few times, there was no movement in the room.

"Okay, they probably went to work at the Women's Federation. Let's talk about it when they have dinner." Hong Tao was not at home for more than half of the year. Bozhu and Senya usually don't stay at home, and they will carry their children to work. It's interesting to have something to do every day. Staying at home does not comply with the rules of Jinhewan. From old age to young people, you have to have a job or study here, and there are no idle people.

"Brother Hong, this town was established by you and the Dan family? Then wouldn't you become king?" Since Luo Youde got ashore, the most tired part was his neck. After reading the left and turning the right, after reading the front and turning the back, he just had the time to ask questions.

"Hey! Lao Luo, don't put a hat on it. What does it mean to establish yourself as a king? We have 11 kings here, can we distinguish between big and small kings? The doctor of the literary world can testify for me." Hong Tao was afraid of scaring Luo Youde, and he refused to admit the fact that he occupied the mountain and became king, and he was righteous.
