However, this kind of quiet and peaceful life can only last two days, and his time is very tight, and he can only stay here for three or four months before he has to return. These times are not enough for him to deal with serious things, and he really doesn't have the time to live a small life with Tu and his son. And he can't take his sons out with him, it doesn't matter how he plays with his son in the small pyramid, it's okay to ride his son as a big horse, but out of the door of the small pyramid, he is a god, he can't laugh and play casually, he has to pretend.

"There are no outsiders today, so don't pretend, take off your robe, it's a hot day! I don't have much time, let's talk about something quickly, and find a way to solve it together after we are done. Okay, who's going to speak first? "The first thing I did when I got out of the little pyramid was to have a meeting, a meeting for Luo Youde, Swan, and the leaders of the craftsmen. The meeting place was the top of the pyramid, which was the safest, and there were missionaries guarding it below, and no one dared to enter. It's just that there are no tables and chairs, so I can only sit on the ground.

"Me! I'll come first! Your Majesty, I have trained more than 300 soldiers, all veterans of war, at least able to understand Chinese! There are more than 200 recruits left, most of whom do not yet know Chinese. I'm getting them to study hard, and I'm sure they'll be able to learn it in three months! Swann already felt a chill in his back, because Hong Tao's small eyes glanced at him from time to time, which made him feel very weak. As for why, he knew very well in his heart that at this time, he could only hurry up and say his credit, in order to make Hong Tao happy and happy, maybe the storm could be smaller.

"Really? There are more than 500 generals in Swan! Even my two rat sons know the prestige of the general, and you don't beat their asses, right? Hong Tao originally wanted to wait until the end to talk about Swan, but he didn't expect this kid to dare to take the initiative to speak. Okay, anyway, it's better to say it sooner or later, come on.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm just playing with them! The general was also talking about playing...... "Swan's face immediately became bitter, if he dared to hit Hong Tao's child, Hong Tao would definitely not be able to spare himself." dared to call himself a general, he was happy at the beginning, and now he is going to be unlucky.

"No, you're not joking. Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, look at what is engraved on his guns, there are them on each one. Before Swann could finish his defense, the kindness sitting cross-legged opposite him interjected, and instead of helping Swan save the scene, he had to add a charge to him.

"What have you carved into my gun, you say it yourself...... I'm short on time, can you hurry up! Hong Tao slammed Swan's face.

"General Swan......" Swan glared at Kindness hatefully, and then confessed to Hong Tao in a low voice.

"Oh, Your Majesty, those guns are yours! I didn't mean it, he forced me to carve it, and said that these guns were his own, and that you came with him! I wondered at the time, how could such a good gun fall into his hands? Obviously, my master made it for His Majesty, and I pulled out the barrel, and there is my mark on it! "Kindness is not at all like Cixi, nor is it like mercy. He is a broken mouth, except for sleeping every day, he is not idle, he talks about whoever he catches, he talks about himself when he can't catch him, and he is not idle when he works.

"Good boy, you dare to fake the holy decree, you wait! I'll show you what the father of the rat and the rat is like in a moment! "Hong Tao doesn't plan to let Kindness be exposed again, so this meeting will not be opened.

"Your Majesty, speaking of rats, I really have something important to mention. Joseph speaks of the rat as the embodiment of God, which I have no problem with, but there are more and more of these things, not only stealing food to eat, but also biting things. Ask who hasn't been plagued by rats, but no one dares to hit them, what can you do? Luo Youde saw that Swan was attacked by a group, and quickly shifted the topic to the rats. Swann is a good person, but he has a bad temper, he can't get along with people, and his habits are weird, so he can't talk about enemies here, let alone hate, but few people really like him.

"I said that when I went to bed these two nights, why was there always movement on the roof, and it was all mice?" Hong Tao slapped his thigh and asked Luo Youde to say this, he finally figured out what was in the room.

"No, that thing not only eats food and bites, but also bites children's hands and feet, and more than a dozen children have been bitten by them, and the family still thinks that they are not pious enough, and the children are guilty, and they almost drown in the river. Joseph did a good job in this regard, and put the injured children in the clergy school to raise them, saying that they were closer to God and could wash away the sin of the children. When it comes to the sin of rats, Luo Youde is hard to write.

"I said you too, and you listened to what Joseph said. This cult is used to fool the natives, how come you have fooled yourselves? I think your studies have been in vain, and if the plague is caused by rats, I won't even give you a chance to collect the corpses! A bunch of idiots! This incident can touch Hong Tao's scales, not to mention infectious diseases, not to mention the pathogens that may cause infectious diseases, even Luo Youde, now they are all scolded.

"......" saw that Hong Tao was really anxious, and no one dared to raise their heads, and they all began to pretend to be dead.

"Swan, don't play dead, help me record! Starting tomorrow, the whole village will start a rat extermination campaign, and whoever hands over the most rat carcasses will be the greatest contribution to God. Just say...... Let's just say that these rats are the enemies of the god rats, the gods and rats are colorful, not those gray things, they are fake! Since hearing that there is a rat here, Hong Tao feels that he is no longer self-conscious, thinking that there may be rat feces in the food he eats, and he is so tired in his heart. Kill, must be killed, but you can't do it brutely, you have to make up a similar reason. This thing can't help but Hong Tao, and his eyes are just one.

"That's a good feeling, I'm afraid that you and Joseph will work together to protect the rats. Even your son is called a mouse, who would dare to kill this thing! Hey, hey, hey...... Don't mention this, kind, you talk a lot of nonsense, it's time for you to say it! Luo Youde was very happy, and casually mentioned the matter of the rat and the rat, and when he saw that Hong Tao began to glare at Swan, he quickly led the topic to Cixiang.

"I don't have anything to report to Your Majesty, I have refined a lot of gold and silver, copper and lead, but there is no heavy oil, I can only use coal to make steel, and the quality is not very high. It is okay to make farm tools and weapons, and the rifled guns cannot be made due to the different stiffness of the steel that is shot each time, but more than ten rifled guns are made, and the scrap rate is also very high. I've been working on the thing that His Majesty asked me to make, but I can't test it too much because I don't have enough good steel. "Kindness is really the same as what Luo Youde said, there is a lot of nonsense, but as soon as you get down to business, it's over in two sentences.

"Don't worry, I've heard about this, let me see, it's not quite the right direction you're looking for. Didn't I say when I left, look west along the river, which side are you looking for? Hong Tao is still unclear about the specific situation of looking for oil in recent years, so he can take this opportunity to talk.

"Ask him, as soon as he goes out, it will be two or three months, who knows where he has gone, and he can't find any oil, so he knows that I want to use a musket all day long, I don't make it for him, and he goes to my house to make trouble!" Kindness has been bullied by Swann for more than three years, he can't beat him, and it's useless to scold, but now he can be regarded as finding the backbone.

"You fart! I don't want to go to the west, I found coal and iron, why don't you say it! The river got to the west, and the water became more and more rapid, and the boat couldn't move at all, so I couldn't walk along the riverbank, right? You two know how to wander around here, have you been to the bank of the river? It's all cliffs, you show me a look! "Swan is not good-tempered, and he only restrained a little when Hong Tao came. But if it weren't for the scruples of Hong Tao, he would have rushed up and slammed his fists to reason.

"Sit down for me! Did I ask you? Remember it well, I'll read it in a while, one word less, one whip! I do it myself! ”

"Charity, how are you doing over there? I saw that salmon class when I came, can I build a battleship now? Hong Tao felt that the actual situation that Swan said was not a rhetoric, but he couldn't give him a good face, he had to suppress his temper, and dared to threaten the craftsman, but he turned against him!

"In a few months, it's almost the same, the people here haven't built a boat, they don't even know the size, they have to learn from scratch, I'm slowly training them......" Charity and kindness are completely two tempers, he is an honest pimple, he speaks as sparingly as possible, can explain it in three words, never five.

"Well, the problem of charity is also a big deal, I can't get more people over, you all have to slowly cultivate among the locals, people are the most important, I will find a way for other things." The charity answer made Hong Tao realize another problem, that is, the number of craftsmen. It is very difficult to train skilled workers among the Indians, and if this problem is not solved, even if there is oil, the pace of development here will not be too fast.

"I thought of a solution to this problem, and every day at the end of the day, you organize your own workers to hold training courses. Let our craftsmen take turns to be teachers, from the most basic things, just find things that can be used in the work, and the rest can be left alone. We don't want them to go to the nautical school, but so that they can understand your words and understand your drawings as soon as possible. "How to quickly train skilled workers, Hong Tao also has examples that can be used as a reference. When China was just founded in the country, there was also a great shortage of skilled workers, and at that time, similar training courses were adopted, learning while working, and soon a large number of uneducated peasants and soldiers became skilled workers, and this method should also be applied to the present.
