"Let's go, I'll carry you back and cook you barbecue when I go home!" Bai Xiang saw that Hong Tao was so tired that he didn't want to stand up, so he simply squatted in front of him, intending to carry Hong Tao back.

"I'd better go by myself, this is for others to see, maybe I'll have to say something about me. Remember in the future, you are the emperor's wife, you must pay attention to everything you say and do, you have to endure the fire, and it is not too late to quarrel after you go home. It's best not to lose your temper outside, not just with me, but with others. "Don't look at Bai Xiang's height is less than 1.6 meters, but she can really carry herself. This girl from the Li family, who grew up in the mountains, can carry more than 100 catties of tobacco leaves on her back and walk home from the field, not just once, but several times. Just to keep the money for hiring a car, Hong Tao only has two horses at home and no car.

It turns out that science is science, and Bordeaux liquid is indeed a very good pesticide, as long as it is mixed and diluted correctly according to the proportion, it can deal with this mildew-like crop disease, and the effect is extremely fast and the treatment is very thorough. Since the spraying of Bordeaux liquid, all the crop diseases on the farms in Golden River City have stopped spreading. Three days later, I sprayed it a second time, and after a week, the infected leaves began to wither and fall off, and the other leaves were still green.

And Li Yaofu, the inventor of this miracle drug, and the boys from the other two laboratories instantly became the heroes of Jinhe City, compared to other inventions, pesticides are the most appetizing to the common people. With the existence of this thing and bleach, there is no need to be afraid of insects and diseases in the crops in the future, not only the farmers in Jinhe City are not afraid, but the people who deal with crops in all the territories and subject countries of the empire do not have to be afraid. As long as Hong Tao is willing, this highly effective pesticide will spread all over the world. Since ancient times, farmers who have relied on the sky for food have stood up from then on. Even if you don't quite stand up. It should also be considered a squat. It's much better than lying on your stomach and kneeling before.

Of course, Hong Tao is willing to work for the welfare of people all over the world, but it is not free, he wants to sell this thing as a miracle medicine. Don't be too expensive, how much money you don't like to sell it.

When did Hong Tao become so backbone? In fact, it is not a problem of backbone, but a problem of output. Copper sulphate is an associated ore that cannot be mined in large quantities without a separate vein. It had to be used to make sulfuric acid, and it had to be ground into powder to make Bordeaux liquid. It can't be supplied at all, let alone sold all over the world, and it would be nice to be able to take care of the empire's mainland and overseas territories.

Oh yes, Bordeaux liquid has changed its name, since it is said to the outside world that it is this magic medicine invented by Li Yaofu, then it has nothing to do with Bordeaux, it has a new Chinese name, called Li Shi Lan.

Regarding the confidentiality of Li Shilan's formula, Hong Tao is not worried. Chemistry is a delicate subject, much more difficult to imitate than smelting metals, shipbuilding, and cannon casting. Any difference in the content, temperature changes, or even reversal of the order can affect the final result. Figuring out the ingredients by working backwards is very, very big work. Before there is no national system in the world to study chemistry as a subject, there is no need to worry about the leakage of formulas.

But Li Yaofu is the biggest leak point. Because he was not yet a resident of the empire, but the child of a Great Song official. But Hong Tao also thought about it, he chose to believe in Li Yaofu's oath and character, and continued to let him stay by his side to study.

If he would go to the Great Song Dynasty to set up another portal in the future, Hong Tao would not care. If he could use the knowledge he taught him to make the Great Song Dynasty a chemical powerhouse, it would save him his own trouble. In fact, as the population of the Jinhe Empire grows larger, its strength becomes stronger and stronger, and its foreign contacts become more and more open, this kind of exchange of talents is inevitable. Instead of putting too much effort into this, it is better to discover and manufacture more advanced and effective products.

Of course, Hong Tao, who is too much of a threat to himself, still has to slow down the spread of things, and it is okay to help others, but he can't make himself uncomfortable, this is his principle of doing things. For things related to military use, he usually does his own experiments, and then records the entire test process and results in detail, and no one tells him.

These materials are what he plans to take to the Americas for development first, and the current Jinhe Empire can't use them yet, and he doesn't want to use them so early. Any new technology comes out with a cost, and before the profits of the old technology are eaten, it is not only no good, but also a waste.

With the outstanding results, the chemistry laboratory was immediately taken seriously by the government and parliament. In the past, it was Hong Tao who tried his best to cheat the funds with the parliament, but now that it is reversed, the council took the initiative to find him and ask for warmth. And it was unanimously agreed that as long as he opened his mouth, the laboratory could add whatever equipment he wanted, and buy as many raw materials as he wanted, and the council approved this money as a special development fund!

"Don't spend the money indiscriminately, go buy some small gifts for your parents, and then go home and have a look. This is the first success in your life, and you have to share it with your parents. They raised you and sent you to school, not just to see you succeed and not to make them sad. I'll give you three days off, Yaofu ten years, go and come back quickly. "Not only did the lab get plenty of money, but even the three little guys received the Empire's Development Bonus, twenty gold coins each, which was specifically used to reward the inhabitants of the Empire who had made outstanding contributions in all walks of life. Li Yaofu should not have it, but with Hong Tao's acquiescence, everyone pretended to forget that this child was not a resident of the empire.

In the summer of 1242, in the fourteenth year of Hong Tao's journey into this era, the Jinhe Empire, founded by him, began its second expansion. This time it is not to increase the number of overseas territories and surrounding subject countries, because the overseas territories that can be developed are enough, and Hong Tao does not plan to take any more. There were already eight vassal states that were subject to the Golden River Empire, and all the small Southeast Asian countries that relied on the sea were firmly controlled by the Golden River Empire under the warships and guns. If you want to increase the number, you have to fight for the Southern Song Dynasty to the north, or to the east to grab Japan and Goryeo.

This expansion is an increase in the area of the Golden River Empire, simply put, the original Mayi Kingdom vassal country has become the second city of the Golden River Empire, the name has not changed, and it is still called Mayi Port, which is the later Manila. However, the original king's family and some officials of the country were forcibly relocated to Jinhe City, Malacca Port, and Kalamba Port for residential surveillance. These people are not allowed to engage in any industry and commerce, nor can they enter the local government, and they are all supported by the financial allocation of the Golden River Empire, and they cannot be rich or rich, and they cannot starve to death.

The original 50,000-odd Mayi residents were also divided into two parts, one part moved north to settle in Jinhe City, and they will be regarded as new immigrants and can only have official status after three years of immigration supervision. The other part stayed in Mayi Harbor and rebuilt a larger, stronger, more Jinhe style new city with the thousands of official residents who had migrated from Jinhe City. This new city is simply a replica of Jinhe City, almost identical in shape and size.

Hong Tao was already too lazy to a new realm, and he changed the name of the construction drawings of Jinhe City to Mayi City. Only the location of the sewer exit has been changed, because there is no Milky Way to the north of Mayi City, and there is no Golden River to the south, and instead there is a huge lake that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines, the Inner Lake, which is said to be thousands of square kilometers long, and it looks like the sea anyway.

The Port is a seaport, not built in a river like Golden River City, which is on the eastern shore of Manila Bay. It is a natural high-quality harbor with only one exit on the west side, less than five kilometers wide, and only a few forts on the cliffs and islands on both sides can seal the harbor.

Hong Tao planned to gradually move the Imperial Shipyard here, making full use of this harbor, and the Royal Navy base could also be built here in the future. With the increasing number of warships, the Jinhe River is almost overwhelmed, and Manila Bay is no problem, hundreds of warships are parked here very spacious, and there is no need to worry about typhoons or anything.

As for whether the people of Mayi are happy or not, Hong Tao can't care so much. If you are willing, we will accept it peacefully, and we will build together, work together, and enjoy life together calmly. It doesn't matter if you're not happy, Hong Tao from the side of the Bo Ni Country has already said hello, and they will send troops to sweep the port of Mayi together with the Royal Navy. Whoever captures the captives will go to whomever they want, and they will help demolish the house without paying any additional pay.

Fortunately, most of the Mayi people are willing to become residents of the Golden River Empire, and they are also willing to change their original way of life. It's like the U.S. and Mexico, if the U.S. government agrees to make Mexico the 51st state of the U.S., most Mexicans will happily fly the American flag. Of course, not all, at least those who are now in power and profit in Mexico are not happy, they would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, in Mexico they want money, money, power and power, why should they be Americans?

Therefore, there are also a small number of people in Mayi Port who are not happy to become residents of the Golden River Empire, especially after reading a thick book of imperial laws, they are even more unhappy. Even Emperor Nima has to be controlled, what else can he have in the past except to be punished? But Hong Tao doesn't care if you are happy or not, if you are not happy, you have already been arrested by Cixi's agents and marines, these people are basically in power, and it is impossible to be happy. Even if they say they are willing, Hong Tao will not believe it, and he must be arrested.

The population of the empire suddenly changed from more than 60,000 to nearly 100,000, and the city became two, which was the saddest thing for Hong Tao, the head of government. He had to give instructions on everything, and many departments had to expand and set up branches. The main thing is that the Golden River Empire needs to establish a standing army, and the police alone are no longer enough to ensure the security of these two large cities.
