To help the Southern Song Dynasty court defend, this involves a bit of a big deal, and you have to contact and cooperate with the Southern Song Dynasty court, maybe you have to involve the question of who commands whom, Hong Tao doesn't want to hand over his fleet to the blind command of the Southern Song Dynasty literati, so it's still a question of whether people are willing to let themselves help with the defense. Now, I'm not going to pay attention to you at all, let's go to the rear of Mongolia to make trouble. No one should chirp crookedly with me, if you talk too much, Lao Tzu will destroy your city together. We just said that we want to help this era, but we don't say that we have to help a certain emperor or a certain court.

"My lord, if possible, can you lend me a sailboat, and I may recruit sailors to go home by myself. If you're going to fight, I promise you'll be able to hire the Empire's most elite knights for a modest price, so you have an invincible army on land. Carl went around in circles, still wanting to go home, in order to convince Hong Tao, he actually wanted to send Hong Tao to Europe to find mercenaries.

"Mercenaries! Holy! Karl, you're my kobold, landing and mercenaries...... Let me think about it, in this way, I only need to build a warship and prepare enough money and supplies, and the difficulty is much reduced! Hong Tao heard another word that made him very excited, if he followed this line of thought, the burden on his shoulders would be much lighter, building ships and making money were his strengths, and training the army was his shortcoming.

"Your Excellency...... My lord, what about my ship? "Karl didn't care about the Mongols or not the Mongols, he only cared when he would be able to go home.

"Boat! Oh yes, ship...... Well, I promise you, I will definitely take you home in five years, counting from today! It's not that I don't want to lend you a boat, but you can't go back on your own, and you don't know the route. I will personally send you back, and then recruit mercenaries back from you. You're not going to lie to me, are you? Will someone be willing to follow me for tens of thousands of kilometers to fight in a foreign land, and I don't know if I can go back? "Hong Tao felt that he had to go to Europe, not only to find mercenaries from Europe, but also from North Africa and Egypt, anyway, where there is an army, he will find it from wherever he wants, and he will get it all back, and he will give the Mongols an eight-nation alliance, I see if you are afraid!

"I swear in the honor of royalty that if you can pay the price of a few jars of whale oil, you can gain the loyalty of a fallen knight, and the final amount depends on your money. If you don't believe me, I can stay here as a hostage, and when the first knights are back, I'll go home with the ship!" Carl didn't talk much nonsense, and the guy got down on one leg again, swore to God, and took himself hostage.

"It has nothing to do with whether you swear or not, okay, go to sleep, I'll just keep an eye on it myself, help me get the oil lamp and pen and paper." Hong Tao felt much happier in his heart, no matter whether the problem was really solved or not, anyway, he felt that he had a clear direction, and this was enough. Now I'm not worried.,But full of energy.,This game is very fun.,You must plan carefully.,Strive for a successful clearance.,Otherwise, the Sun thief in the sky can't tell what dynasty he will throw himself into next time.。 If I went to the Shang Dynasty, I would be really dumbfounded, and I didn't know anything about that period of history.

When there was a rooster crying on the shore, a figure swayed up on the back deck of the Predator, and Hong Tao pouted on the back deck to write and draw for half a night, looking at the more than ten pieces of whaleskin paper in front of him, very a little hesitant. It's just that kneeling for a long time, and the waist and neck are almost unable to turn, seeing that the sky is dawning, don't sleep, just have a set of radio gymnastics on the deck first.

Luo Youde's work efficiency is very high, Hong Tao's breakfast has not been finished, he took a group of people to the edge of the dock with shoulders, hand, and carts, and began to load goods on the ship after taking the springboard. All the goods on Hong Tao's list have been purchased, three farmers and two blacksmiths, both of whom are homeless people from the north, have signed a five-year contract with Luo Youde, and they don't even ask where to go, as long as they give food and wages, they will go with you with a small burden, and they really can't live.

"Lao Luo, what if these people can't come back after five years? For example, what should I do if the sailboat has an accident and drowns in the sea? "Hong Tao doesn't want to harm Luo Youde, he didn't want to put these five people back at all, if Luo Youde will have a lawsuit at that time, then he has to find another way, and he can't involve Luo Youde because of a few people.

"They don't have families, and when the time comes, I'll take a sum of money to go to the dental bank to cancel these contracts, as long as no one is held accountable. Brother Hong, you ...... You're hiding something from your brother, aren't you? Luo Youde was more thoughtful than Hong Tao, and finally couldn't help but inquire.

"Don't worry, Lao Luo! I won't hurt you, it's a little too early to tell you about this now, and when I make an eyebrow, I not only have to tell you, but I also have to pull you in. Hong Tao didn't deny anything, but he still didn't explain, everyone is an adult, there is no need to hide it, as long as the chain of interests is there, the relationship will be harmonious, and everything else is nonsense.

"Then I wish Brother Hong all the best!" Luo Youde didn't expect Hong Tao to tell him what he was doing, and when he heard Hong Tao say this, he didn't ask.

"Uncle, you don't know what he's doing, do you?" Seeing that Hong Tao's ship was loaded with goods and people, he pulled up the sails and left the port without delay, Luo Youde stood by the dock, waved goodbye, and asked Luo Dacai beside him in a low voice.

"I don't know, this person is very thoughtful, and the Tan family on the island probably doesn't know what he's doing. He basically didn't stay on the island much in the past two months, and the whaling was not delayed, but it was not clear what he was usually doing. I think he's probably running his own business, and it's all about daily necessities, and it's a lot of it, and there's a farmer and a blacksmith, where do you need it? Luo Dacai roughly talked about Hong Tao's movements in the past few months, he had long suspected it, but he couldn't confirm it, when he got to the sea, basically no one could help Hong Tao, and the Tan family would not say a word to him.

"He may have found a place to live at sea, and those Tan people are his forces...... Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, a Tan family member actually has this kind of ability. In time, maybe he will become a tyrant at sea, and how will I get along with him? Luo Youde thought further, he already felt it, he couldn't control Hong Tao, he had this feeling since Hong Tao built that weird little sailboat, and now that Hong Tao has a bigger sailboat, he feels this way more certainly. What is most important on the sea? That is the ship and the captain, which Luo Youde, who runs by sea all the year round, knows very well. Whoever has a good ship and a good captain will have the final say on the sea, Hong Tao just meets these two conditions, and he also has a group of loyal Tan family members by his side, which is like adding a pair of wings to Hong Tao.

"As long as he doesn't take those Tan family members to be pirates! I think he thinks very much about you, and I don't know what he thinks, and he has these objects in his hands, but he doesn't go to a bigger businessman, what do you want us to do? "Luo Dacai has never had a good impression of Hong Tao, this is called a crime, and they look at each other unpleasantly at first sight, and they can't change it for the rest of their lives.

"Forget it, don't think about it, he's a good partner...... Partner, hehe, that's an interesting word. Luo Youde couldn't figure it out either, so he simply didn't think about it. In fact, he is the party that benefits the most in the cooperation with Hong Tao, not only with Hong Tao's whale oil to earn enough profits, but also to create his own industry, as long as he is stable for a while, he can not rely on the business name of the Luo family in Qiongzhou, and he is truly independent. If this is not satisfied, then it is really a little too greedy, in view of the Hong Tao he knows, he still does not dare to play any tricks too much with Hong Tao, and the person who can't figure it out is the most terrifying.

What does Luo Youde think, Hong Tao doesn't care, just like what Luo Dacai said, now that he has a foundation, without Luo Youde, it is the same for Sun Youde and Zhang Youde. However, Hong Tao is a very nostalgic person, as long as Luo Youde does not harm his own interests, he will continue to cooperate with him, and the better he mixes in the Southern Song Dynasty, the better it will be for him. Take advantage of each other, the love is the most unreliable, only when the interests are the same, can we talk about the relationship, otherwise the love will be thinner and thinner, and in the end there will be no love and become enemies.

If you want to cooperate with others for a long time, then you must first level your status and ability with each other, and only when both sides are evenly matched, can you balance this cooperative relationship, and the more balanced the more stable. At present, Hong Tao is strengthening his ability and elevating his status, as long as he gets the base in Jinhewan well, he has the ability to compete with any maritime merchant in the Southern Song Dynasty, and who he does business with, the other party does not intend to take advantage of him.
