With the more powerful cotton explosives, Jiang Zhuyi really flattened the cliffs across the bay, and also killed and injured many slaves because of the unstable problem of the cotton explosives. Speaking of this number that made Hong Tao feel a little chill in his heart, Jiang Zhuyi didn't care at all, this woman still has a very violent side in her bones, Hong Tao really can't imagine what kind of governance the people will be like after she becomes the queen.

The Baron's Castle was built very quickly, with volcanic ash and prepared stone blocks, one day at a time, and when Hong Tao arrived, the six-pointed star-shaped three-story castle was already building the second floor. Compared with the Karl Fort opposite, the Baronial Fort not only has an extra corner, but also a larger circle, and the stone is not all black granite, with some reddish-brown stones sandwiched in the middle. This was deliberately mined by Jiang Zhuyi from the North African coast across the strait, and she not only wanted to build a strong fortress, not only to be bigger and taller than Karlburg, but also to build a work of art, which must be tasteful!

"Ji Ji Si Chen, if you are in the Great Song Dynasty, this is what people say about you." Hong Tao looked at the castle and couldn't help but think of an idiom.

"Hee-hee-hee...... I can't make my castle lower than Carl's, it has to be taller and more beautiful than him! The only one in the world who can press on my head is only you ......" Jiang Zhuyi could understand what Hong Tao said, but she didn't care at all, and she was not afraid to make Hong Tao feel her ambition, and even said it clearly.

"I don't press on your head, I usually press on you." Hong Tao is indeed not angry, his own woman is stronger than others, there is nothing to be angry about, as long as she is still within his control.

"Ariana, go get the bath water ready. Your Majesty needs to wash up and sleep comfortably. In addition to Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi, who stood on the Karl Fort and watched the construction progress of the Baron Castle, there were also her two right-hand men, Ariana and Aya. The last time Hong Tao came, the two of them were not there, and this time they are back.

"And let them bathe me? You're not afraid that I'll sleep in the bathroom! Hong Tao remembered the crazy scene in the bathroom with these three women last time, and he really enjoyed it. It's a pity that now I am no longer what I used to be, and I have more than enough heart but a little bit of power.

"Don't sleep, or I'll fall on you!" And you won't have a chance to see them both again, and in two months' time, they'll be married to France and Germany, and I've found them two handsome young nobles, and today is my bid to say goodbye. Don't say you don't want to, every time you see both of them, your eyes always look over. Come on, I'll be waiting for you in the bedroom, don't keep me waiting too long! "Jiang Zhuyi is really good to these two maid-like women, and he shares everything with them, including himself.

"It's over, you didn't marry the two of them, you sent them to the Franks and Germany to collect the debts! Aya, remember, you are not allowed to sleep with your husband when you go, it is better to find some poison to poison him, and then continue to come back here, and I will take you to my country to be the queen, and avoid you vicious mistress. Since Jiang Zhu didn't care, Hong Tao was also happy to enjoy the exotic. The last time I was with Aya and Ariana, they were just in their early twenties and a little young, and now they are twenty-seven or eighteen, which is the best time for women.

"Hee-hee-hee...... If Your Majesty wanted to take us there, he would not say it in front of the hostess. Now come with me to the bathroom, and we'll talk about how to escape. Aya was not only not frightened by Hong Tao's provocation, but also came up and grabbed Hong Tao's hand and led the way in front.

"You'll have to tell me in a moment how you made them so obedient, wait for me, and don't sleep!" Hong Tao followed Aya to the castle, while pondering Jiang Zhuyi's way of royal people, he really couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask for advice.

In the end, Hong Tao didn't really ask Jiang Zhuyi this question, she has a personal method, she may not be able to use what she can use, and she can't force others to believe in herself, that kind of means is too low-level.

In fact, Jiang Zhuyi really wanted Hong Tao to take Aya or Ariana away, and she was more at ease to have her own people by Hong Tao's side at all times. However, Hong Tao didn't bring any of them, he was going to expand his territory, and it was pointless to ride on horseback all day long, with a delicate lady. Besides, I have passed the age of thinking about women all day long, compared to women, no matter how beautiful and intimate they are, they are not as good as their ideals worth pursuing, and it is a waste to delay one more minute.

Coming to Sun City again, this originally lively city seemed unusually deserted, except for the smoke and noise of the factories and workshops, there was no one to be seen on the streets. Only Tu, Qi Zu, Charity and Wen Xiaoqi came to greet him at the dock, and Swan, Luo Youde, Joseph, Bush, and Cixiang were all gone.

"They're all going to your new town, where Bush is going to build a new lab and a bigger factory. They have also found more iron, copper, and coal mines to the west, and I have asked Kindness to go there first, and if there is a suitable place there, move the smelting and mechanical workshops there, and expand them by the way, which is a little insufficient in the near future. The weather here is too humid and flooded every year to build a large-scale factory. Qi Zu didn't wait for Hong Tao to ask, so he told where these people went. The spiritual effect is indeed very magical, after coming to Sun City, the living conditions are poor, but Qi Zu seems to be living more happily, sweeping away the old state, and becoming lively again.

"My clan and I also want to live in the sacred land of our ancestors, and I heard that there is going to be a largest temple of the sun there, and I want to go to the closest place to the gods." Not only did Qi Zu want to go to the Valley of Mexico, but Tu also wanted to go, and her reasons were also very good.

"What, you have something to say?" If it is forgivable for Qi Zu and Tu to want to go to the Valley of Mexico, Wen Xiaoqi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made Hong Tao wonder.

"Charity work is very good, he also learned my skills, if it weren't for building a new ship, I would be of no use here, why don't you follow Uncle Qi, my steam engine needs his help." Sure enough, Wen Xiaoqi also wanted to go.

"Pull it down, you two looked down on each other a year ago, and now you can't do without it, who believes it. You've grown up by the tropical sea, don't talk nonsense about the climate not adapting to me, stay here honestly, and expand the shipyard a little more. Who says I won't build new ships? You train the workers for me first, and when your Uncle Qi gets the new cannon out, I will build a new ship immediately, and you won't drag me back when the time comes! Hong Tao didn't believe Wen Xiaoqi's reason, he just wanted to follow him, thinking that there was a advantage to take advantage of.

"What about my steam engine......" Wen Xiaoqi saw that the lie was exposed by Hong Tao, and changed another reason.

"Our cotton fields and hemp fields are all here, and the textile workshop is also built here, you don't need a textile machine to test your steam engine, and when you get to the west, there is nothing, everything starts from scratch, are you not afraid of delaying time?" Hong Tao doesn't think that Wen Xiaoqi can build a steam engine with too much power, and he can't take care of the steam engine at present, there are too many things to solve, so let him play slowly.

"Okay, but you have to leave me kindness, Uncle Qi is gone, he will leave again, I can't be a suitable person to do anything, I can't trust other people's craftsmanship." Wen Xiaoqi felt that what Hong Tao said was also very reasonable, he brought the steam engine over, there was nothing, how could he test it? It's better to stay here for now, wait for the factories to the west to be built, and then go over and pick up ready-made.

"It's not so easy, everyone else is going to work hard, and you two are enjoying Qingfu here? I've got more tasks for you, and we're not here, so you'll take care of everything here. It's okay to study your machine, but you can't delay anything else, as long as I come back and find that you're lazy, I'll smash all your machines, and whoever dares to help you in the future will burn him! Don't frown, this matter is settled, we will leave tomorrow, you just need to familiarize yourself first, prepare the supplies and pack team we need, and use it tomorrow morning. "Now Hong Tao has no one in his hands who can take one side alone, so he can only pull the general in the middle and let Wen Xiaoqi take the lead first. Fortunately, this area of Sun City has been swept by Swann for many years, and it is estimated that there are not even a few small villages within a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is no safety problem, just arrange everyone to produce and cultivate step by step.

"No wonder Swan doesn't want you to come back, I used to think that his kid was a white-eyed wolf, this time I can be regarded as a teacher, it turns out that I wronged Swan......" Wen Xiaoqi was very depressed, muttering non-stop in his mouth, but unfortunately Hong Tao had already gone away.

Stepping on the jungle path to Saba City again, Hong Tao finally smiled. This road can no longer be called a small road, it was set on fire by Swann once, and thousands of people and horses do not know how many times to step on it, the original soft soil of the road has been trampled, and the road surface is much wider, except for a few sections, five horses can walk side by side.

Swan Trail! This is the name that Hong Tao gave to the more than 120-kilometer-long dirt road between Sun City and Saba City. This road was originally cut out in the jungle by Swan with his soldiers, and he burned it again, and he took the most credit for building this road, and it is fitting that it should be named after him.

With the Swan Trail, it used to take more than ten days to walk, but now it can be completed in three days, and if you are in a hurry and don't care about the health of your horses, you can run from Sun City to Saba City or from Saba City back to Sun City in more than a day. Qi Zu only told Hong Tao that Luo Youde, Swan, Joseph, and Bush had all gone west, but he didn't know exactly where they were. However, after arriving in Saba City, Hong Tao met a person who basically knew everything.
