"I can't tell you if I have no son! I don't want to be the emperor's father, I just want my son!" Chen Mingen, who was usually very steady, didn't know what was wrong with him today. He raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass, stared at his red eyes, and even called out to the room, which was a bit like no one was convinced.

"Hey, I don't believe it anymore. I can't cure you!" Before Bofu got up, Huang Hai rushed out. He and Chen Mingen were in-laws and were old acquaintances, for fear that Chen Mingen would say anything else that made Hong Tao not come to Taiwan, which would hurt each other's relationship. While shouting loudly, he pulled Chen Mingen out, hoping that he would wake up first.

"Hey hey... Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, don't do it, don't do it. My grandfather is drunk too much, and he just wants to say it, come, give it to me, I will help him go back first, you can continue drinking." Hong Tao couldn't sit there at this time as if nothing had happened, and he didn't want to drink and chat with a group of old men. He just took the opportunity to help his godfather go home to get away. As for what Chen Mingen said just now and what he was thinking in his heart, Hong Tao didn't care. Their own son was gone, so he was not allowed to complain. No matter how good he was, he was still a godson, and he was different from his kin.

"Xiao Tao, can we stop fighting in the future? Qihong is gone this time. If you catch up with you next time, then I will be the only one left..." Chen Mingen's family lived next door to Bofu's family, and they had a few steps away. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Mingen asked Xiaofeng to blow and the alcohol was suppressed.

"Grandma, I'm not fighting for myself. Who likes to play wars? But some things are useless to just say." Hong Tao couldn't agree to Chen Mingen for this matter, not fighting? How can the Jinhe Empire develop and grow? How can it suppress its competitors?

"You are the emperor. If you say you don't fight, then you won't fight! Isn't it good to live your own life here? Why do you have to provoke others?" Chen Mingen was very dissatisfied with Hong Tao's answer, and shook his arm and broke free from Hong Tao's support.

"Grandma, I can only promise not to let the war burn to our Jinhe City. When Xiaohai grows up, I will teach him to read, go to school, and talk about the war later." Hong Tao didn't want to explain more to his godfather, and he couldn't explain it.

"We Xiaohai can't get up!" Chen Mingen was really angry when he saw Hong Tao not spitting. He turned his head and entered the yard, and the gate of the yard was closed and left Hong Tao alone outside.

"Oh... I've become a mouse this time, I'm so angry!" Hong Tao's nerves were thick enough and his skin was thick enough. Even if Chen Mingen sticks himself in front of outsiders, he won't have any emotional fluctuations. He was just a little bored with the job of the emperor. It's really hard to sit in this position. It's almost a concentrated reflection of national conflicts. He lives in the whirlpool all day, and even his family members can't understand him.

Whether others understand or not, Hong Tao has to follow his own path, and he does not expect everyone to understand him. Since the people still like him, the emperor who can bring surprises to them, then take this opportunity to propose more conditions with the parliament. For example, additional investment is made to establish a flat glass factory, and use dissolved tin as a hotbed to allow the glass solution to flow naturally and spread. Since the tin melt can control the temperature, the glass solution will not cool down quickly, and the flat glass produced in this way will be very flat, which is the floating glass production process in later generations.

In addition, I had to sail one long time, nominally inspecting the construction of Cape Town Port and Carl Fort, but in fact I wanted to go to the Tu tribe to make an appointment. It is already May 1241, and the time I agreed with Tu was three months late. In addition, the journey took time, I would probably be more than half a year late. Tu was a desperate person. She firmly believed that she would go back, but she could not wait too long. In this way, she would be embarrassed as the leader of the tribe, especially as a female leader.

The parliament reluctantly agreed to Hong Tao's plan, and it would be impossible not to agree. No one can yet inspect the development of overseas territories on behalf of Hong Tao. This thing needs on-site guidance, and no one dares to say that he can complete this task.

However, the Jinhe ship has not been repaired yet and the new warship has not been built yet. The parliament meant that Hong Tao would set off again until the end of the year. At that time, the King of the Sea could be launched and drove the new warship to overseas territories for inspection. It was so glorious.

Hong Tao couldn't wait that long, and he didn't have much affection for the new warship, mainly because he thought it was too slow. He didn't have time to reject the suggestions of the parliament. At present, large-scale construction of the Port of Cape Town is underway, and many problems need to be guided by himself. Once time is delayed, it may cause great losses, so he must leave immediately.

Without the Golden River and the King of the Sea, Hong Tao could still leave. He was not a landslide, so he had to take a big boat to go out to sea. Not to mention that there were still a few dragon shark-class warships to use, even if he was given a whaling ship, he could still run to Cape Town. At this point, no one dared to question Hong Tao's authority. He had the final say in the matters on the sea. He was a territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territ

At the end of May, Hong Tao took the map that had grown to more than one meter long and boarded a dragon shark-class warship in the middle of the night, quietly left the Jinhe Bay, and headed towards the depths of the dark sea. Just over half a month before his delivery, Luo Youde and an armed cargo ship also left Cape Town Port. He went to Cape Town Port in the name of the chairman of the Straits Company to inspect the local cargo situation. The Straits Company was ready to expand the trade route westward to the east coast of Africa. Since it was going to do business, he must first find out what local products and what they needed. This is his trip.

On Luo Youde's ship, there were more than a dozen craftsmen sent by the Imperial Metal Group, the Imperial Shipyard, and the Imperial Chemical Group to assist in the construction and construction of the Cape Town Port. They were the second batch of technical backbones sent to the local shipyards, smelters, forging plants and machinery factories, including two nephews of Cixi. The two of them have been working with Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu, and are also considered masters with good skills. One of them is Qi Zu's main assistant to the research and development of rifled guns.

On the surface, it seemed like two ordinary voyages, but if you look closely, you will find something wrong. Before Luo Youde left, Cixi came back, and with his brother Lacquerware, the three of them muttered for several days. Then Ciqi's two sons and Bush suddenly took the initiative to sign up for the second batch of technicians. Originally, with their qualifications and positions, there was no need to go to Cape Town Port for infrastructure construction so early.

What's even more strange is that their leaders and leaders approved their application very happily, the reason was that these three young people received the Prime Minister's approval in advance. Hong Tao's remarks were also very reasonable, giving young people the opportunity to stand on their own. Don't always limit them to a certain field, so that their subjective initiative can be exerted.

When Hong Tao's ship lights gradually blurred on the dark sea surface, two figures slowly walked down the second floor of the lighthouse on the south bank of Jinhekou, and they were talking quietly while walking. When the lights in the lighthouse were driven by the windmill, the faces of the two gradually appeared, one was short, thin and vulgar, and the other was moderate in size and square face and big eyes. These two faces were the most unpopular top two in Jinhe City, the police chief Ci Qi and the big spy chief Ci Xi brothers.

"Your Majesty is gone, this car light is so bright that you can see it ten miles away." The person who spoke was Ciqi. He liked the car light invented by Hong Tao very much, and took advantage of his position to apply for a few. Even if he had nothing to do at night, he would be willing to carry the light around the city for a few times. From a distance, he looked like someone was walking with the sun, but the car light in his hand was not lit at this time.

"As soon as Your Majesty leaves, I feel a little relieved. If you are fine, I will go back to Guangzhou overnight." Cixi and his brother were the opposite. He didn't like all the bright environments. Even if he walked in the sun, he habitually hid in the shadows behind others.

"Second, what do you mean? Do you say that Your Majesty is not going to come back? What should you do if Charity and Kindness are not going to go? No wonder you don't let Cile go. My son is not a son!" Ciqi immediately became anxious when he heard Cixi's words. He grabbed his brother's neck and whispered in a low voice.

"Let go! There are others around you. Do you see us as a good person? I said, "Boss, how many times have you said, why don't you change? Don't listen to the wind or rain, and don't be distracted by Your Majesty. The lives of our two families are all on Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is gone, we will be arrested before dawn. Do you believe?" Although Cixi is smaller and still has a younger brother, he glared at the triangular eyes, and Ciqi, who is taller than him, was chill all over, and quickly let go of his hand.

"Can you be kind? Your Majesty is looking for a way out for everyone this time. Except for us and Boss Luo, there is no fifth person who knows. What else do you want? You must keep your mouth shut and talk to you in a sleep. As long as this news leaks, I will be the first to fight for you!" Cixi looked around and left and right, and confirmed that several of her subordinates were standing dozens of meters away. After hearing him talking to Ciqi, she warned Ciqi in a lower voice.

"Your Majesty still needs to find a way out? Is someone planning to rebel? Who is so bold? Otherwise, let's take him first..." Ciqi still didn't understand Cixi's meaning, and used her hand to cut down. Her originally majestic and glorious face instantly became a little ferocious.

"Go and go, don't cause trouble for me, wherever you are. It's not that someone wants to rebel, but that His Majesty thinks he can't control this country forever. You haven't seen the little guys coming out of the Navigation School? Everyone's eyes are like sharks. Whoever blocks their way will have to fight with anyone, and His Majesty is no exception. You don't understand this. You just pretend that today's incident has never happened. If there is any problem, I will talk about it when His Majesty comes back." Cixi really wanted to kick his brother. She has been the police leader for several years, but she didn't even have this political awareness. It's really useless to say many things. But he couldn't explain them clearly. He was just guessing based on his feelings and could not explain them in detail to Ci. So I won't just stop talking about it.
