"Hey, who is this with? Lao Wen, you give me a comment, am I wrong? Li Niang's performance confused Hong Tao.

"Hey...... Your Majesty is right, but the place where your emblem is engraved is a little awkward. People are girls, every time you go to the toilet, your emblem is here to look at others, it's a little inappropriate......" Wen Nan is a bystander, he quickly figured out the origin of Li Niang's tantrum, and then pointed to the emblem on the front edge of the toilet, and reminded Hong Tao in a low voice.

"Lao Wen, you have learned badly, and if you don't have these dirty thoughts in your heart, you can't think of that aspect. For example, I didn't expect you to fall! Hong Tao blinked his small eyes, walked out of the toilet with his hands behind his back, and criticized Wen Nan's ideological problems very seriously as he walked.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you are pure, and we are all filthy...... Let's get down to business, I was dragged by your guards as soon as I got off the boat, and I haven't even returned home yet. "Wen Nan has long been accustomed to him, His Majesty the Emperor who has no skin and no face, and strong words and reasoning are his motto, and whoever breaks with the emperor in this regard will definitely lose.

"Well, that's what I called you here, now we have a meeting, and Minister Wen will first talk about the results of his negotiations with the Mongol Empire, and Minister Li will be responsible for recording them, and then we will discuss together how to act next." When he entered the office, Hong Tao immediately stopped smiling, sat down at the desk, and opened the notebook on the desk like a dog. In fact, there is nothing on it, every time he presides over the meeting, it is recorded by others, and then a copy is copied to him, and he is resolutely unable to write it himself, how tiring it is.

"As Your Majesty expected, great changes have taken place in the Mongol Empire. Cixi's side is still continuing to inquire about the specific situation, and as far as the current situation is known, there are already great differences between the top leaders of the Mongol Empire. There were those who were anxious to exchange the prisoners of war, especially the prince. Others were reluctant to let the prince go back too soon. Presumably, he wanted to use the matter of the prince's capture to blame someone, and I think the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire should be the focus of this disagreement. Wen Nan was not polite to Hong Tao, snatched a cigar directly from Hong Tao's hand, ignored Hong Tao's murderous gaze, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath. Only then did he start the debriefing slowly.

"What about the outcome of the negotiations? Did they promise to open the port? Li Niang waved her hand to drive away the smoke in front of her, she hated the medicine Hong Tao ate, it was very choking. Now that even Wen Nan has eaten it, can it be said that both of them are lazy? She was skeptical.

"In principle, they agreed to open the Port of Mizhou, but they have one condition, which requires that our merchants cannot move around the Port of Mizhou at will, and can only buy and sell goods in the area they have demarcated, and the safety of our merchants cannot be guaranteed outside this area." Wen Nan and Hong Tao learned a lot of bad things, and saw Li Niang drive away the smoke. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he also deliberately spit out again, and then looked at Li Niang Tieqing's face and secretly laughed.

"No problem, agree to their request and start normal trade as soon as possible. The Royal Fleet is currently being expanded, and new shipyards and supporting facilities are being built in Phuket and Cape Town, and money is needed everywhere. Our rum has no sales outlet for the Great Song Dynasty, and there is nothing to make from those small poor countries alone. After two years, as soon as the corn harvest of Minister Huang is harvested, the yield of high-grade wine will have to be doubled. We need the huge market of the Mongol Empire. Hong Tao didn't want to spy on Mongolia's intelligence in this way at all, he didn't need to spy on it, as long as the other party didn't see his true intentions, it didn't matter how harsh the conditions were.

"The first batch of past merchants don't use our own, the Great Song court is unreliable, and the Mongols are the same. First, let the middlemen test the water through Minister Li's channel. In fact, this method was first thought up by Minister Li. Seeing that Li Niang was still not angry, Hong Tao wanted to show favor by praising her, and this girl is indeed worthy of praise.

"My job is to make a profit for the Empire, and there's nothing to praise about that. I think some people should be criticized for not doing their jobs all day long and sensationalizing! Minister Wen can come to my office and look for me, I have other meetings to have. If nothing else, I'll go first. It's a pity that Li Niang didn't appreciate it at all, so she almost pointed to Hong Tao's nose and said that he was the one who didn't do his job, and didn't wait for Hong Tao to say if there was anything to do, so she covered her nose and walked out quickly.

"Tsk...... Dare to shake your face in front of the emperor, Your Majesty, are you and her ......" Wen Nan was a little surprised by Li Niang's performance, and then the fire of gossip in his heart was about to burn.

"Stop! It doesn't matter if you slander me, people are still big girls, and you have to accumulate virtue when you speak! Hong Tao couldn't listen to this, as if he was so extravagant, there couldn't be a woman around, there was a last one.

"Such a big girl is too powerful, who will dare to marry in the future." Wen Nan replied this time, Hong Tao never lied about the relationship between men and women, or that he didn't want face at all, and he didn't even have the interest of hiding it.

"That's very good, marry home, can do housework, and can go out to take charge of yourself, whoever marries is convinced, how good it is to stay at home all day long, eat, drink and have fun!" Hong Tao doesn't agree with Wen Nan's point of view, he thinks that there is nothing wrong with marrying a strong woman, whether it is good or not is not who you marry, but how you position yourself. If you think that men must be better than women, then go to Xiaojia Jasper.

"It's time for me to go home, so you might as well eat, drink, and be merry by yourself." Wen Nan was speechless about Hong Tao's character, an imperial emperor actually longed for soft rice so much, no one believed it, but this is a fact.

In the last month of 1240, Bojiao went to sea again with five armed cargo ships. He will temporarily succeed Mercy, who is at home with Ong Ya on the delivery stage, as commander of the supply fleet, with a large number of technicians and equipment, destined for Phuket and Cape Town. After handing over these men and goods to Medini, he returned to his overseas territory of Port Kalamba to continue his role as governor.

He also carried with him dozens of Imperial officials belonging to the Imperial Navy, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Supervision, and wanted to establish an Imperial branch not only in the port of Kalamba, but also in Cape Town. They serve every three years, representing the government of the Golden River Empire, and are not under the control of the Governors of the Overseas Territories, nor do they have the right to interfere in the policies of the Overseas Territories, but are a cooperative and supervisory relationship, which is a means of monitoring the Governors of the Overseas Territories by the Imperial Government.

"Don't get too involved in local power struggles, especially when it comes to succession to the throne. Although you are the king's son-in-law, your words and deeds will be interpreted by others as the attitude of the imperial government. But you can't stay out of the matter completely, you must choose the most favorable heir to the throne for the empire, and how to do it depends on your own wisdom, and your uncle can't help you. You are already a high-ranking official in the empire, and you will have to make your own decisions about many things in the future, in fact, my uncle and I are the same, I have never been an emperor, and now I have become a person. When Bo Jiao was leaving, Hong Tao personally went to the dock to see him off, and specially advised. He doesn't know what year he will see him again, so he can't always run back in a battleship without an order.

"Please let my uncle help me teach them well, at least not worse than Sai Fei. Also, if there is a war in the future, you must inform me, and I also want to erect a statue in the square in the middle of Jinhe City, so that the children can often go and give me flowers. Bo Jiao smiled, waved at the Bo family behind Hong Tao, and then whispered in Hong Tao's ear, pulling his daughter-in-law to turn around and get on the springboard.

This time, Bo Jiao left a pair of twins in Jinhe City to go to school, although his princess and daughter-in-law were not very happy, but he was much more merciful, and he had the final say in everything outside the house. The culprit of this situation is Hong Salamander, this mischievous girl only needs to go back to Jinhe City, and if she has nothing to do, she will take her younger brothers and sisters to play with Bo Jiao's children.

No matter how you measure it, Hong Salamander, Hong Jinhe, Sai Fei and even Hong Yage, who is two years younger, have a wider range of knowledge than Bo Jiao's twins, which makes Bo Jiao very depressed. He thought that this was caused by the level of education, and he didn't admit that his genes were not good, so he had to leave his two children in Jinhe City and go to the navigation school with Hong Tao's children.

Hong Tao did not object to Bo Jiao leaving the child in Jinhe City, anyway, the child's grandfather and grandfather were eager to let the child wander around in front of him all the time, and the primary school education in Jinhe City was indeed more systematic and comprehensive than the schools in overseas territories.

As for the statue he said, it was actually a monument to Chen Qihong and that Captain Gao, standing in front of the library, standing side by side with Old Man Rong. The monument contains not only reliefs of the two of them, but also the names of the three hundred and thirty-one officers and sailors who died in the naval battle. The construction of the two monuments was approved by the Imperial Diet, but Hong Tao insisted that the royal funds should be funded by the Imperial Government first, and then slowly returned by himself.

Although this battle, which was named the Battle of the Three Kingdoms, was ostensibly for the future of the empire, Hong Tao felt that most of it was launched for himself, and that he was the manipulator behind the scenes, and should be responsible for these people. Of course, this kind of thing can't be said, you can only think silently in your heart, and then do something that doesn't help, in order to make your heart calmer.

sent Bo Jiao away, and Hong Tao was completely idle. As soon as the design drawings of the new ship are completed, the construction work of he, a standard dealer, will not be able to interfere, and it is better to avoid even going to the shipyard. Who made him the emperor of the empire, there were a few guards following him everywhere he went, and whoever saw him had to stop his work and say hello, which affected people's work efficiency.
