"Yes, you must, you can. I say yes! The only thing you lack now is my trust in you. As long as you have this thing, your city will get my strong help and it will be built soon. Do you know how to gain my trust?" Hong Tao agreed with Metini's ideal, which is what he wanted to do, and it can be regarded as a hero's similar experience. However, Hong Tao also has to remind Metini, don't be proud, once some things are done, there is no way to go.

Hong Tao’s trust is actually easy to obtain. As long as you are a person who abides by the rules and abides by the rules he sets, he will basically trust you. Of course, it is impossible to trust completely, it can only be part of the trust. In fact, in daily life and work, there are very few places where 100% trust can be used. As long as everyone trusts each other with a limited degree, it is enough. How to show that you are following the rules? It is useless to just say it, it is a big fool. You expect to fool him, unless you come from the stars, otherwise it is unlikely. You have to do it and prove with practical actions that if you understand these rules, you are willing to abide by them.

The Cape Town City built by Mettini, no, should be said to be Cape Town Village, a black version of the Golden River Bay. He and the twenty sailors were the board of directors, and the others were slaves for the time being, not humans, but property belonging to the Golden River Company. Mettini exchanged them with whale oil from the surrounding black tribes. Mettini learned Hong Tao's management method and did not treat them in a harsh way. Try to ensure their quality of life after meeting their own needs. There are not too much labor quantification every day, and after completion, you can obtain daily supplies. Of course, if you want to enslave others for a long time, it is not enough to rely on benefits alone, and necessary punishments will also be included. For slaves who dare to challenge authority, Mettini is even more cruel than Hong Tao. During this year, there are not too few slaves thrown into the sea by him.

But these bad things were not done by Mettini himself, most of them were done by the privileged classes among several slaves. [At this point, Mettini also learned Hong Tao's method of using prisoners to manage prisoners. He also had his own Cixi, and he played more skillfully than Hong Tao. His Cixi was not one, but several. There were also competition among these Cixi, so that he could act as a referee and God in the middle.

Now, the Cixis of Mettini were very useful. More than 200 Javanese slaves were arrested from the Jinhe River. Originally, Hong Tao was worried that these people were not easy to control, but now he was relieved. Looking at the guard in the eyes of those black people, Cixi, he felt relieved. Let these black slaves fight with Javanese slaves. Mettini only needs to stand up at the right time to protect the rights of the weak, and not let one side have an absolute advantage, and maintain a good balance. These newcomers of Javanese will find it difficult to unite with the black people, and they will have no time to fight against the Jinhewan craftsman class led by Mettini.

Then, what Matini has to do is to give them hope, or to represent Jinhe Company to give them hope in life, such as family and descendants. When their families and descendants have obtained a certain degree of protection, this city is no longer just a city of Jinhe Company, but also belongs to them. Who will destroy their own homes? This is called sharing of interests, tying the interests of everyone together, and it is impossible to tell who is who is. Such interests are the most unbreakable.

"Build a dock first, and then load and unload goods will be much more convenient. Build a school in the village and teach them how to learn Chinese and basic mathematics when they are free. When they can write their own names in Chinese characters and record things in Chinese characters, they will be inseparable from us. [[(Also I just looked at it, there are too few female slaves here. If the slaves are all bachelors, then you will be in trouble, and there are countless troubles that will arise. You have to let them all get married.

People who have a family will carry a big burden. With children, they are an invisible chain that is difficult to break free. Sometimes the spiritual shackles are stronger than iron chains." As the leader of Jinhe Company, Hong Tao has the right to guide the construction prospects of Cape Town Village. Before the goods were unloaded, he and Matini began to patrol the land. While walking, he instilled his theory in Matini. No matter whether others like to listen or not, he had to say it anyway.

"Master, there are many wild horses with patterns here. I wonder if they can be kept in captivity. You don't have to exchange horses in the future. Let's set up a horse farm here!" Metini was very happy. He finally had a place to display his talents, and it was above ten thousand people, so there were also many things popping up in his mind.

"Wild horse? Patterned? Hehehe, old wheat, that thing can't be tamed, but after you said that, it's really a good idea to raise horses here. Next time, when the next supply ship comes, you will bring more horses. You can try it first. If you can raise it here, then set up a horse farm." Hong Tao didn't hear that South Africa also produces wild horses. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Matini was talking about. It should be a zebra. He wanted to make a zebra.

Domestication is too difficult, but the dwarf plain north of Cape Town is indeed a good pasture. It may be possible to get some horses to raise. As for what to do, Hong Tao doesn’t know. It’s useful or not, but it may be useful at that time. For example, if the domesticated horses are used to form a cavalry, it won’t sweep across the nearby black tribes. If you don’t use horses as a commodity for exchange, it won’t lose money anyway.

"Also, when I'm idle, go and cut down some of the big trees in the valley, peel them, and put them in the river to soak them. Maybe in two years, I'll build a shipyard here, and it will be used at that time. There are several blacksmiths among the craftsmen I brought. They know a lot of ore. You might as well ask those tribes to find ore to help you find mines and see if there is anything worth mining nearby. Just farming and raising horses, you can't use so much labor." When I think of the horses, Hong Tao naturally remembered the ships. At present, Cape Town is still

It is not enough to build large ships, and trees alone are not enough. Many of the connecting parts on the ship are steel bolts. If there is no primary metallurgy industry, it will be a bit difficult to build ships here. However, South Africa is a major mineral country, and almost all the minerals in the world are lacking here. If such treasure land is not good at using, it will be a bit wasteful just for raising horses and farming. The most convenient place is that there is no shortage of labor here, and people can catch and mine everywhere. You only need to provide them with very low rewards to get rich rewards.

As the only channel connecting Asia and Europe, if Cape Town can be opened and become an important fulcrum, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the future of Jinhe Company. At that time, all kinds of merchant ships and warships can be built on site, and then loaded with various specialties from southern Africa, Asia and Europe. It will sail west to Europe and east to Asia. This port city can also guard the maritime channel between Asia and Europe, and must be paid attention to it.

Unfortunately, Hong Tao didn't have much time to stay in Cape Town. After presiding over the first board of directors of the Cape Town branch, he appointed the same eleven directors and the branch manager of the McTini, and then boarded the Golden River and returned to the voyage. It is not the time to focus on Africa. There are still a lot of things waiting for him at home. If he doesn't manage his hometown tightly, blind expansion is harmful, and it won't be chewed too much.

Just when Hong Tao led a fleet to siege Jawa Island and sailed to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the Southern Song Dynasty court was not idle and ushered in a major change. Due to the complete failure of the Duanping Enlightenment Battle, the pro-war factions who were originally ready to fight were all stopped. However, the pro-police factions did not give up and wanted to take this opportunity to completely clean up the court so as not to have a second rash dispatch in the future.

The Zhao brothers were the ones who were in the brunt of the Zhao family. The two of them were the first to take the initiative to recapture the Three Capitals. As a result, the elder brother Zhao Fan retreated and refused to lead the troops north. The younger brother Zhao Kui led the troops north, but lost the troops and was almost dead in Henan. The most suitable one for them to take the blame. Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui brothers have such great ability to persuade the court to send troops north? Are they just the two of them high-ranking officials of the court? Not all.

Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui's father was Zhao Fang, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty. He did not lose the upper hand in the confrontation with the Jin Kingdom. At this time, the new prime minister Zheng Qingzhi had a close personal relationship with Zhao Fang and was also a teacher of the Zhao brothers. The new official took office for three reasons. Zheng Qingzhi was depressed by Shi Miyuan for so many years. As soon as he became the prime minister, he must have wanted to be glorious, but how about glory? He turned his attention to Bian Gong. What could be more glorious than expanding territory? It happened that the Zhao brothers proposed the suggestion of recapturing the three capitals. Zheng Qingzhi felt it was a good opportunity, so he strongly supported the pro-war faction.
