Chapter Eighty-Five: Strength Increases
"Congratulations! Don't follow me, be careful that I stab you to death! Your sage's teachings have been learned in vain, and you are more shameless than Cixi! "Hong Tao is very, very disgusted with this Wen Nan now, or someone like him. These grandsons are usually full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but once they see the benefits, they are more than profiteers and have no bottom line.
Why did Wen Nan show a happy expression Hong Tao was clear in his heart, just look at the light flashing in his eyes, it was the light of greed, what kind of greed, do you need to ask? But I really don't have a problem with them, it's useless to kill people, there are people like this all around, you can't kill them all. It's better to go back to the cabin to comfort and comfort yourself, no one can understand yourself in this matter, and you have to adjust yourself.
The city of Haizhou is broken, it is really broken, the city wall on the east side has not been blown up much, the rest is all shattered, the eastern half of the entire small city has become a ruined wall, many residents close to the city gate have also been killed and injured, and the ground is full of people lying on their stomachs. They weren't dead yet, but their balance system was shattered, and they couldn't stand up at all, couldn't distinguish between up and down, left and right, and wriggled on the ground like a worm.
These were not what Hong Tao saw, it was reported by Lang Ya when he came back, and he didn't dare to go to the hell on earth in Haizhou. Half of the more than 400 horses died directly, and the remaining half were all crawling on the ground, vomiting while climbing, and it is estimated that they will never be able to get up again. After the marines landed again, they did not encounter the slightest resistance, no matter whether they were caught or killed, no one resisted, and all the people in Haizhou City were frightened stupid, they had never seen such an earth-shattering scene, and they all thought that God was angry. In front of the unknown. Humans are always vulnerable. There are many more people who kneel on the ground and ask for God's forgiveness than those who get up and run away. Catch as much as you want. Whoever you want to arrest and arrest, ask what you want, and say anything, no one dares to talk nonsense.
"Let's go back, I'm a little tired, go straight back." Hong Tao was smoking a dried vine in the captain's room at this time, and the room was full of sour and sour smoke. It was the most tobacco-like thing he had found on Luzon, the vine was hollow inside, and when it dried, it was like smoking. When you light it, it smokes.
There is a pile of whaleskin paper on the table, which is full of Jinhewan's rules and regulations and future development plans, all of which are the governing concepts that Hong Tao has summarized from the countries of the world in later generations with the memory in his mind in recent years. Hong Tao didn't have a big understanding of this matter, he didn't have that Huigen, he just felt that it was too cruel, but looking at the lines of words on the paper, he couldn't change it.
Reason. Hong Tao is a very rational person in his bones, and he also has emotions. But in general, it comes after reason before it enters the brain. The current situation in Golden River Bay does not meet the conditions for the complete elimination of slavery, and without slaves, who will go to mining? Who does the hardest and most tiring work? Will he be able to turn Golden River Bay into a modern society dominated by private capital in no time?
It's not realistic at all, let a group of people who don't even understand what capital is to play with capital, and a large number of landlords will come out in an instant, and then it will still be the Southern Song Dynasty. Besides, is Jinhewan, managed by private capital, necessarily benevolent? In later generations, the working and living conditions of those small coal kilns and small mines may not be as good as those of the slaves in Jinhewan. At least you won't do too heavy and dangerous work here, as long as you complete the basic ration, you will get enough living materials, you can't go hungry or frozen, and you will be provided with a home and even a daughter-in-law.
"No, I think it's wrong, I, Nima, am not a savior, where can I take care of the people of the world! I'm just a gamer, and clearing the game and completing it perfectly according to my vision is a victory! There is the misery of the black guys, and the happiness of the Cixi, there are always two sides to everything, this is a side effect. Yes, it's a side effect, and it's not too big, so it's settled! A day later, Hong Tao found a theory to convince himself, and after balancing his mind, he came out of the captain's room again, and it was raining on the sea.
"You're a two-X, I'm scolding you again, you bite me!" The lack of light made Hong Tao very disappointed. Isn't it all played like this in movies: as soon as the protagonist figures it out, it should be bright, at least there must be a ray of sunshine penetrating through the dark clouds. Hong Tao blamed all this on the guy in the sky who always went against him, so he stretched out his middle finger and pointed at the sky and began to provoke.
"Silly X, it's time to get up!" It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, there was no thunder to split himself, Hong Tao looked at the flag on the mast, just four o'clock in the morning, he scolded a little early, the thing in the sky may not have gone to work, I didn't hear it, I scolded in vain.
In just fifteen days, they burned down an important port in the Mongol-occupied area, broke through a small city in the Mongol-occupied area, and not only captured more than 900 people, but also brought back a lot of their families. The losses were negligible, with two dead, two seriously wounded, and three lightly wounded. Among the more than 900 people, except for women and children, the vast majority of the remaining men are craftsmen, and they are all talents urgently needed in Jinhewan. In an instant, Jinhewan, which originally had a population of just over 2,000, suddenly had hundreds of more craftsmen, which was a very, very big progress, even if it was just a farmer who could grow grain, it was also a useful talent. There are no idlers in Jinhe Bay, as long as you have a skill, you can find a suitable position, and you will only lack manpower and will not be unemployed.
With these few hundred people, the Wen family's shipyard could be doubled in size, and two Orca-class warships could be built at the same time. With these few hundred people, Qi Zu's smelting and forging workshop could be expanded three times, not only to make more grenades, but also to put more effort into casting artillery; With these hundreds of people, the Weng family's mixed oil and gunpowder production workshop will no longer be short of manpower, and the output will directly double. And they are all skilled workers, even more skilled than the original technicians......
Can Golden River Bay afford so many people? All of a sudden, a third of the population was added. Mere trifle! The grain production here has long been overproduced, and many of the reclaimed paddy fields are deserted and no one to grow them, so instead of struggling to grow grain, it is better to use a variety of sugarcane to make sugar. A jar of sugar can be exchanged for half a shipload of grain, and the residue of sugar extraction can also be used to make wine, feed livestock, and be used as agricultural fertilizer.
In Jinhewan, just giving white rice to eat is called abusing slaves! This is the current situation in Golden River Bay. The Women's Federation, led by Bo Zhu, was in charge of the canteens and small handicraft workshops in Jinhe Bay, believing that slaves had a heavy job and meat at every meal, so whale meat, which no one was willing to eat, became the standard protein supplement for slaves. Braised sauce, sauce, jerky, dried meat, bacon, enema, anyway, they can do whatever they can, and they put them in the slaves' lunch boxes every day, for fear that they will eat less.
Because whale meat cannot be preserved for a long time except for bacon, the slaves have to throw away an extra piece if they eat less, and the people of Jinhewan, who have just gone from being hungry to having no worries about food and clothing, have not yet degenerated to the extent of wasting meat casually. Seeing the good whale meat being thrown away, they felt distressed, even if they were tired of eating, they endured to eat together, especially those old people. If you see leftovers and leftovers in the lunch boxes of the juniors, waving your hand is a slap, and you have to spare your legs and feet. O loser! After just a few days of eating, you dare to waste white rice and meat!
Hong Tao is the most treacherous, he has long been unwilling to eat whale meat, not to mention whale meat, abalone is tired of eating every day! But he can't take the lead in doing something special, so what can he do? He has a way. He made a school recipe, and said that children should not eat a kind of meat all the time, which is not good for the body, and must be nutritious, so it should be eaten with flowers. All game, beef, mutton and pork, milk, eggs, and vegetables must be supplied to the school's own small canteen first, and he, as the principal, must set an example for the children. As long as he is in Jinhewan, he will go to the school cafeteria to eat with the children, check the school's food situation by the way, and resolutely put an end to irresponsible things.
This reason is too lofty, except for Carl and Medini, no one in Quanjinhewan has ever thought about it, and they all say that Hong Tao is really for the good of the children, and with a principal like him, he is simply the patron saint of the children, and he has cultivated for eight lifetimes. Even if Carl and Medini saw it, they didn't dare to fart half a fart, Hong Tao didn't treat them badly, and often invited the two of them as representatives to check the food in the school cafeteria with him. Moreover, the school cafeteria is in charge of Cixi's daughter-in-law with a few female slaves who have turned into regulars, for them, Hong Tao is God and Buddha, even if they want to eat human flesh, these women will quietly serve it, and they dare not reveal a word.
It's a pity that Hong Tao doesn't have this privilege now, because the school has moved to Ximaozhou, but he still has a way, he built a kindergarten on the basis of the original school in Jinhewan, and handed it over to Cixi's daughter-in-law to manage the canteen food. This kindergarten specializes in receiving children under the age of 6 in Jinhewan residents' families, as long as they are weaned, they will be sent, and they are guaranteed to give you a fat one, and they will also teach literacy and counting from an early age.
"Sir, they are Han Chinese, so it's not appropriate to be slaves, right?" Wen Nan saw that Cixi was holding a whip again, and with his group of doglegs, he drove the newly captured Han people from the north to the isolation camp, and he had another opinion. Hong Tao had already given him full responsibility for the persuasion and education of these Han people, so he planned to use the power in his hands to fight for these Han people. (To be continued.) )
