Chapter 201 Luo Youde's new love
She only needs to be equipped with a few crew members and slaves, and she can work hard on her own day to collect various plants and insects, and then make specimens according to the method taught by her father, put them in a wooden box with many layers of layers. Each type must be labeled, indicated its origin, name and characteristics, and then find time to ask her father and locals to write all the knowledge she asked in a small notebook. This is her wealth, which is what her father said. As for those too big animals and plants, they cannot be captured or collected. It doesn’t matter, you can draw them all and collect them with those specimens. Now Hong Yu’s collection has several large boxes, all of which are placed at home in Jinhewan. When you go back this time, you will probably add several large boxes. The animals and plants here are obviously more than their hometowns, and they are all unseen.
Jiang Zhuyi is more sensible than Hong Yu. She doesn't bother Hong Tao and asks to do this or that. Such behavior seems stupid to her and will make Hong Tao impatient. She will accompany Hong Tao to think about those strange and unique things every day, so that she can not only follow Hong Tao without showing any silence, but also learn about this man who no one can see through.
Jiang Zhuyi always felt that Hong Tao was very mysterious. He knew too many things. He had never seen such a person before, let alone heard of it. It seemed that he knew everything in the world, whether in the sky or underground. Many times she paid attention to confirming the answer Hong Tao said, but the result was that he was always in the tenth place. Even if it was not completely correct, it was not far apart.
For example, the kind of baobab tree I encountered during the day, and the common sense and state of life in the Qin Dynasty, whether he had been or not, he knew it! And it sounds so natural, without any sense of thinking about it, just like I had seen it yesterday. Many people secretly regard him as a monster, a god, and a bad person, but Jiang Zhuyi thinks he is a man, and he can see it from his own perspective. Jiang Zhuyi is not very skilled in dealing with a man, but she has some experience in dealing with this man. It seems that the more he wants, the happier he will be and like it. This is simple, so just do whatever he wants.
In addition, there is another advantage of being around Hong Tao, which is that he can be **ked by him anytime and anywhere. This man likes to joke very much, and it is very bad! But it is this tone that makes Jiang Zhuyi increasingly unable to live without him. Sometimes he is blushed by him, but when he thinks about it in retrospect, he feels very sweet.
Hong Tao's thinking is not as delicate as the ** man. He is very busy, and he runs around from the boat to the shore every day. He is also very busy. He has to estimate the situation in Europe, and sometimes he has to plan the future of Cape Town Harbor with Mettini. At night, he has to tell stories to Hong Yu to coax her to sleep in an environment where wild beasts are howling. He finally coaxed her to sleep. He just touched Jiang Zhuyi's **, and fell asleep before he could enjoy the ** man. The remaining half of the time had to hold hands and hold hands. After a long struggle, it would pass, and the spirit and body were busy.
There were more than 100 craftsmen from Jinhewan who came to Cape Town this time, mainly in agriculture and smelting. Cape Town Port has good natural conditions and human resources are within reach. It would be a waste not to develop the farm economy. Hong Tao planned to imitate what European colonists did in South America to extract more value from black slaves and turn this land in South Africa into a large plantation. Sugar cane and cotton are just planting. The European people have not eaten sugar yet, and they don’t wear tinsel cloth. They don’t think much of it. When they bring tobacco back from South America, they will get some tobacco plantations, so that you can use Marlboro, Hilton, and Dunhill exits. This time, they don’t even change their names and sell them back to you. By the way, the Greater China card is added to let you smoke enough!
Smelting is another major development direction designed by Hong Tao for Cape Town Port. The minerals here are too rich. Just by picking them up in the ditches, you can pick up tons of gold, and there are more other ores, but no one goes to explore and mine. Currently, only one magnetite is slowly producing ore. This place is too far from Jinhewan, so pulling the ore back to smelting, making iron tools and then pulling it back. There are not enough ships, so it is the best way to deal with it on site.
First, the smelting workshop is built, and the forged primary iron products can become the flagship products of Mettini and other African tribes. With these things, we can better win over the locals and let them discover more and better minerals. Then we gradually upgrade the smelting and forging industry in Cape Town, and finally make up for the shipbuilding industry, making this place a backup for Jinhewan. Even if one of them is missing, Hong Tao can still rely on the other to continue to dominate the ocean.
The most leisurely thing during this period is Carl. He doesn't know anything except war or sailing, and he is not interested in anything. He just pinched his fingers and turned around Hong Tao every day, reminding Hong Tao whether it was time to set sail. The closer he is to home, the more anxious he is. If he really annoyed Hong Tao, he will bombard him on a whaling ship to contribute to the development of Cape Town. It is stipulated that three adult whales must be caught before they can continue to go home, otherwise he will be a fisherman in Cape Town for the rest of his life.
The most depressing person was not Carl, but Luo Youde. This handsome old man from the Song Dynasty ran to Metini's building without listening to Hong Tao's persuasion. As a result, after getting drunk one day, he slept with a black servant in Metini. When he woke up the next morning, he looked at the black charcoal-like body beside him, and his mood was full of pain. Indulging in the drunkenness, excessive fright and fatigue from the journey made him fall ill and his high fever never subsided. Hong Tao is not a doctor, and he lacks antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs from later generations, so he is helpless. The doctor of Metini, the two-knife, was even more confused and tried all the prescriptions he had mastered, but it was still useless.
Thanks to the black servant who was kind-hearted, he ran back to his tribe to invite a great wizard and other things to Luo Youde. He jumped and covered Luo Youde with color, and then poured him a black liquid. Originally, Hong Tao was planning to hold a funeral for this handsome guy, but he was discussing with Metine whether to set his tomb under the pyramids so that he could also get the gods' glory and be worshipped by the black tribe after death. As a result, after two days after drinking the medicine, he actually woke up and drank the mysterious medicine soup for two consecutive days, and his fever subsided.
A life-saving grace. A person as particular as Luo Youde will definitely repay the spring. But the one who saved him was a black child, who was only sixteen years old this year, and he was also the head of a local tribe. Do Africans recognize the money from the Song Dynasty? If you give something, what can he repay the grace of life-saving grace? If you give it, give it to the person. Under the two detrimental tricks of Hong Tao and Matini, Luo Youde also had overseas relations. He married a black child as a concubine. On the day of the wedding, his father-in-law killed a tribe prisoner in front of him, digging out his heart and letting him and his new wife bit each one.
This is the custom of the local tribe, and it is still very high. When Mettini said that except for the wedding of the tribe leader, there is generally no such treatment. He also has to be the leader of the large tribe, otherwise the wizards would not give blessings. Since it was the custom of others, Hong Tao and Mettini pretended not to see it and gave Luo Youde a very unrighteous way. They both kept secretly enjoying themselves. Now the national problem of Cape Town Port has been solved by more than half. The servant of the god married the local tribe leader, and the relationship has risen to the level of blood. In the future, the children of Luo Youde and this black child must be the king of this land. This is called the royal bloodline. The genealogy will start from here. Maybe it can produce a Homer epic.
"Brother Luo, can you tell me what human flesh tastes?" Many days after Luo Youde got married, Hong Tao saw him promised to ask this question. It was not a special slap in the face. Hong Tao was indeed curious about what human flesh tasted, but he didn't dare to try it himself.
"...I'll ask you again, you and I will be ruthless!" Every time Luo Youde answered Hong Tao's question indignation, but unfortunately he didn't realize it once. It was ruthless, and it was ruthless. Who would take him home? I can't count on Metini. In this matter, that black fat man is the accomplice and the culprit, so it's better not to mention it.
Hong Tao and his group stayed in Cape Town for more than a month before loading a ship of fragments and sailing again. From now on, it is called a real long voyage. The thousands of miles ahead is not completely unfamiliar to Hong Tao, but at least he had not sailed in such a sailboat under such navigation conditions. To be on the safe side, Hong Tao reduced his speed to half at night, and did not rush to travel. The supply was sufficient, and safety was the first priority!
"Sit down, today we will talk about the Atlantic Ocean! Look at this picture on the blackboard. This sea area west of the African continent and the European continent is called the Atlantic Ocean. The specific name is called this? According to the convention, you are not allowed to ask, remember it." One day after the two ships left the Port of Cape Town, Hong Tao held a small geography class on the deck. The crew and officers on the two ships who were not on duty came to class, and they talked about it every morning and afternoon. Although Hong Tao could not explain too many principles of geographical structure, currents, and climate, it is still necessary to let everyone briefly understand their environment.
"I haven't said it yet, Captain Carl, what are your questions?" As soon as Hong Tao finished his opening remarks, Carl raised his hand.
"Where is the west of the Atlantic Ocean? You said that the earth under our feet is a ball, so the west side of it goes around the east of Jinhe Bay? Shouldn't it be called the Pacific?" Carl was a very serious student in his studies, and he knew the overall concept of the ocean and the continent, which was very related to the chat with Hong Tao when he was fine. At that time, he could not speak Chinese, and he could only understand it every day when he listened to Hong Tao chatting, so he listened the most seriously and remembered many things.
