Chapter 076: The Last Madness

The Kingdom of France and the Church suffered the greatest losses in this battle, and Louis IX had to mobilize the whole country to go to the front, because if he took a step back, it was the Kingdom of France that would be the first to be ravaged by the Berbers, which caused his national power to be depleted quickly. The latter www.biquge.info the prestige was overshadowed by the emperor, and the Berbers insisted that the cause of the war was due to the assassination of their religious leader by the French. If this is to blame other kings, everyone may not believe it, but it is somewhat credible to blame Louis IX, this pious king has always worn a crotch pants with the church, maybe he can really do it at the instigation of the church. Therefore, the basin that plunged most of Europe into a bitter war was directly deducted from the heads of King Louis and the new pope, even if it has not been clarified, but everyone is not very satisfied with their reckless actions.

"The thought that it will be difficult to see you again in the future makes me feel bored even if I am a king. You left me alone with a pack of hungry wolves, and I didn't do it myself. I want to be with you, and this is also my hometown. Jiang Zhuyi conquered Hong Tao again this time, Hong Tao, a woman of her age, really can't deal with it, like a wolf and a tiger.

"Where can I enjoy when I come back, it's all trouble, so I don't pull you back to suffer. My peace of mind is my homeland, are you not happy in Europe? Now Hong Tao doesn't dare to believe Jiang Zhuyi's words casually, she is no longer the little woman who came out to see the world with her, but a queen who is ready to transform the world according to her own wishes.

"I'm happy to have you here, even if you can only come back for a long time, but I also feel that you are by my side, and you will always be there to help me solve problems when I am in trouble. But this time it's different, I wake up every day and feel like you're not coming back, it's a bad feeling, it makes me feel like the people around me are getting more and more scary, and I could be eaten by them at any time. So I decided to come back and be with you, even if I didn't have money and country, and I would be content if I could sleep well. Jiang Zhuyi turned his body sideways, stuck to Hong Tao's body like an octopus, and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

"But you can't just shake your hands and leave, what should Aya and her son do? William has invested so much in your country, how can he be happy? Are you still afraid that others will eat you? It's good if you don't eat them. They are hungry wolves, you are the huntress, the hunter with the cannon! Hong Tao believed Jiang Zhuyi's words, but he couldn't agree with her approach. Otherwise, you don't play, if you want to play, you have to have a beginning and an end, and you have to give an explanation to the people who follow you, and you can't quit quietly, isn't it harmful.

"Isn't there still Renjie! He didn't want to come back, and he knew several powerful families among the German nobility who were willing to cooperate with my brother. I handed Aya over to him to take care of, and it just so happened that he wasn't married, and now I'm the little king's aunt, how about it, are you satisfied with my arrangement? As soon as Jiang Zhuyi talked about her proud masterpiece, she immediately burst into laughter.

"You can really do it, let your brother marry a widow, and bring someone else's child......" This time Hong Tao didn't say anything, Jiang Zhuyi's method is really amazing. Jiang Renjie had already been connected with the nobility of northern Germany, and now he married Aya and became the rightful heir to that region. To the north, you can make eye to eye with the German princes, and to the south, with the support of Friedrich II, no one can touch his territory.

"I didn't force it, he likes Aya very much, if I forcibly stop it, he might elope back to Da Song with Aya. Don't you talk about fate, this is fate, my sister has not worked hard for more than ten years, but the result is still cheaper brother, he doesn't have to worry about anything, he just has a ready-made country. As for that child, as long as Aya has another one, he will be sent to me, I will raise him, call you Dad, hehehe......" As soon as Jiang Zhuyi said about the child, his eyes were full of little stars, and he climbed up along Hong Tao's body.

"If you want me to live a few more years, toss me a few less times, I'm not the body I was ten years ago." Hong Tao has no strength at all, and he can't be old if he doesn't accept it.

"Don't try to lie to me, don't you think it's quite spiritual? I don't care, you have to compensate me for my losses! Jiang Zhuyi shrank his body into the blanket, and after a while, he came out again, exposing Hong Tao's argument that he wanted to be lazy. Sometimes the mind and body are not unified.

"It's over, Europe can't be blocked now!" As soon as he thought that Jiang Renjie had started to cooperate with those German nobles again, Hong Tao still felt a chill even though he was surrounded by the woman's warm body.

What can that kid come up with to work with others? It's not the battleship and gun casting technology he has mastered, maybe there are muskets. As long as he can be given a relatively stable environment and relatively sufficient funds, he alone can raise Europe's shipbuilding technology and gun casting technology to the level of the Golden River Empire ten years ago. Now that he has this opportunity, it is even harder backstage than when he was in Flanders and Hansea, even if he goes back, it is useless. Jiang Zhuyi is right, this is really fate.

However, Hong Tao's frustration did not last long, and compared with the troubles in Europe, the arrival of Jiang Zhuyi's woman made Hong Tao more relieved. None of Po Zhu, Senya, and Bai Xiang could understand herself, and the three of them were not even as faithful to her as she was. Although she still has no name and will not have it in the future, she still left a country behind and ran thousands of miles to her side to worry about the adventure. A man lives a lifetime, and he can meet such a person, regardless of gender, he is lucky, even if there are many unsatisfactory ones, it is worth it.

In the spring, the Soyuz and Hong Tao's flagship slipped to the sea area of the Luan River, used Hong Tao's boat as a ferry, and it took more than ten days to transport these large wooden boxes into the Luan River in batches, and then dragged them by horse-drawn cart to a construction site south of the iron mine, which was the site of the future machinery factory, and a small factory had just been built as a dormitory and temporary workshop for the technicians that Hong Tao brought back from North America. These steelmaking, forging, machining, and chemical technicians are preparing to build their factories here, and in the future, the research institutes related to metallurgy and machinery will also be located here, so this is one of the few places protected by the marines, and these large boxes brought back by Hong Tao are the safest and most suitable to put here.

Once the steelworks, forging plants, machinery factories, and chemical plants are preliminarily built, the parts in the boxes will soon be thoroughly studied by these technicians and then directly copied. These three finished steam engines were the key to the Great Song Dynasty's rapid entry into the steam era, and after the Jinhe Empire reacted, Hong Tao already had the bargaining chips to continue negotiations with them.

Hong Tao himself didn't leave, he no longer stingy with labor this time, specially transferred thousands of people from the construction site, and built a cement-framed three-story building in the machinery factory, the first floor is the reception room and conference room, the restaurant, the warehouse, the second floor is his and those technicians' studios, and the third floor is his living room and bedroom with Jiang Zhuyi and Ariana. In order not to make this place look too deserted, Hong Tao also deliberately asked the pair of black and white twins from Cixi to take care of Jiang Zhuyi's daily life. This woman has been in Europe for so many years, and there are many habits in life that cannot be changed, and if there are few servants in her hands, she will not even be able to go to the toilet.

Usually Hong Tao works with those technicians on the second floor, and he still has too many things in his head to tell them, not only listening, but also memorizing, and he can't just write them down, and he has to try to understand them. When he really couldn't understand it, Hong Tao took them to conduct some simple experiments, build some models, memorize as much as they could understand, and then use detailed descriptions to turn all these things into words, pictures, and data, and record them according to different categories. This is the last thing that Hong Tao can leave to this era, it is very scattered and superficial, but it is better than nothing. As long as one or two people like Wen Xiaoqi, Qi Zu, and Bush can come out of these young technicians, they will sooner or later put these pieces together.

In addition to the constant memories, Hong Tao would take Jiang Zhuyi and the others on a long trip under the protection of the guards every one or two months, and most of the places they went to were very desolate, and there was nothing at all, but he looked very carefully.

For example, he once wasted a lot of effort to find a river in the valley, and after strict calculation, he finally erected a stone tablet on the river bank, with the words Taolinkou Reservoir of the Qinglong River written on it. Then he pointed to the mountains in the distance and told Jiang Zhuyi that if a wall was built on those ridges, it would be called the Great Wall, which was specially used to resist the invasion of northern nomads. For example, he will take everyone to a fixed seaside vacation for a few days in the summer, and the first time he came, he also erected a stone tablet on the seaside, with three big characters of Beidaihe written on it.

No one can understand all this, even Jiang Zhuyi doesn't know what Hong Tao means by making so many stone tablets around, if a person loves to mess with names and loves this part, he really loves it to the extreme. However, Jiang Zhuyi didn't show any impatience, she already felt that the old emperor's body was getting weaker and weaker, and every time he returned from work on the second floor, he would be very tired, and he didn't want to move when he sat on the recliner.

The intense mental work was quickly draining his energy, and he often dreamed at night, talking in his dreams for the first time. This situation has never been like this before, in her impression Hong Tao is a big bastard who has no heart and lungs, can afford to put it down, eat and sleep, but now this big bastard is approaching the old bastard step by step.
