Chapter 463: Swan is Bad Luck (320 votes plus more)
"Are you suffering from heat stroke? How did you start talking nonsense! Gather your people and take a look, I still have something to do. Luo Youde patted Swan's face, trying to wake him up from his confusion.
"I'll gather a fart soldier, can there be an enemy situation in the east? There is the sea over there, and if there is an enemy, it can only be His Majesty's big ship! You said that the two of us secretly said bad things about Your Majesty behind our backs, can he hear it all? Swann rolled his eyes and deliberately turned his face away from the temple, lowering his voice.
“…… That's right! Could it really be that he is here! I can tell you, the bad things are all said by you, it has nothing to do with me, I have been looking forward to Your Majesty coming soon! Luo Youde asked Swan to say this, and he also reacted. Tu's village is less than three kilometers away from the mouth of the river, and there has never been an enemy to the east, and the sparse mangrove forests cannot hide people, only strange ships from the sea. Who else can come here from the sea?
It was indeed Hong Tao who came, and he didn't have a chart of the Caribbean Sea, so he probably did some surveying work on the way, and it was delayed for a few days. At this time, he also heard the alarm bell, and also saw the tall wooden tower standing in the woods, not only did not panic, but also beckoned in the direction of the wooden tower. Luo Youde and Swann seemed to be alive, and they had done a good job of defending the place, and as soon as they approached the mouth of the river, they had already noticed that there was sunlight reflected in the woods, and someone was observing them with binoculars.
"The sea, the great river, this is another domain of the emperor's uncle. Your father asked me to take you here to school, and when you grow up, you can rule a land by yourself, like your father, are you willing? Hong Tao lowered the sail and sailed into the mouth of the river as he began to tell the truth to his two sons.
“…… So when will we see my father again? "Don't look at Medini as a profiteer and get so many children, but the way he educates his children seems to work. When the sea and the river heard that they couldn't go home, although their little faces were also blank and their eyes were moist, they never cried, and their brains were not messed up.
"When you lose the fat on your body, like Uncle Emperor, I'll take you back to see your father, okay? When the time comes, tell your father about your progress here, and he will be pleased. If you two don't learn anything, and you just eat a whole body of meat, your father will be disappointed. Since the two children are so good, Hong Tao will continue to fool around, just use this incident to set a direction for the two of them.
"Well...... We must be obedient......" The little brothers still didn't realize how bad this emperor uncle was, even children lied, nodded vigorously to show determination, and then tears still fell.
"Oh, good boy, don't cry. You see Uncle Emperor, when you were so old, I wanted to leave home every day to go outside, but unfortunately I didn't have a boat at that time, and my parents always controlled me and didn't let me come out. You are much happier than when I was a child, as long as you work hard, when you grow up, I promise, let both of you brothers be kings, more people than your father, and the place is bigger, okay? Hong Tao had already seen two small sailboats appear on the river in the distance, looking like sardines, speeding in his direction. It's time to wrap up with the two kids, I have more things to deal with, and I can't always coax them both.
"......" The two little brothers looked at each other, nodded vigorously with tears in their eyes, and didn't even dare to open their mouths in order to prevent themselves from crying.
"Hahaha...... Master Luo, why did you keep your beard on again! Not to mention, growing a beard does mean a bit of a fairy wind bone. Come, come, come, this is the sea, this is the river, they are the sons of Lao Mai. It's called Uncle Luo, do you remember him? When the three ships were together, Luo Youde climbed onto the deck, looked at Hong Tao a little excited, and his eyes began to recur. Hong Tao hurriedly greeted him, two forty or fifty-year-old men, tears of eye to eye, affectionate tears, it was too disgusting.
"Hello Uncle Luo, I still have the duck cart you gave me, but I didn't bring it at home." The sea still remembers this Uncle Luo, and Dahe doesn't seem to have any impression.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Good boy, when you get to me in a moment, I'll give you something more fun. You stay away from me, smell something, go and go! Luo Youde let the two children get into a rut, and he couldn't express his longing with Hong Tao, so he could only deal with the children first, and then deal with the picture that came over.
"Where's Swan?" Hong Tao didn't find Swan, and his heart sank.
"Hey, don't worry about him, he's doing well. He hurried back to the barracks to destroy the evidence, for fear that you would say that he was inhumane again, and asked me to help him lie, saying that he had always behaved very well, and even gave me his precious horse. Luo Youde opened the picture with his foot, and then turned around and answered Hong Tao's question, which also made Hong Tao breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Cheng, boy, dare to deceive the emperor, what treasure does he have left? I'll get it all together! "Dare to let yourself be afraid, this is a big crime, Hong Tao decided to torture this kid first after going ashore.
"Hahahaha, you deserve it! As soon as you leave, this kid will be happy, and kill this piece like chickens and dogs. As long as there is food to eat, he will not return, and the local Indians call him Ah. Puche, which means to lead people into the world of death. Luo Youde did not object to Hong Tao's suggestion at all, and added fuel and vinegar to Swan, for fear that he would not be unlucky enough.
"Isn't that the Grim Reaper! Yes, the boys have become gods! I'm going to show my people how death is dead! "Hong Tao is very unconvinced, he is not a true god yet, how can the people under his hands become gods, this is a big rebellion.
"Forget it, he doesn't have any treasures you can look at, except for the two horses, which are the few guns you left behind. This child was abolished by his father, and he had no interest in women at all, so I found him several, but it didn't work out. He doesn't let people touch him, whoever dares to touch him will beat him, what do you say this is this! "Don't look at Luo Youde's mouth saying that he wants to torture Swan, in fact, he is very protective of Swan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he loves him, and he has transferred all his father's love for Luo Meimei to Swan.
"Come on, look at me, tomorrow he will have to get married and go into the cave room, dare to say a word, I will break his leg!" As soon as Hong Tao heard that Swan still had this problem, the interest in pranks came again.
Swan's problem is not that he hates women, but that he is afraid, extremely afraid. This may have something to do with the environment in which he grew up, in that environment, you can't show a little weakness, and if you show it, you will die. Swann probably didn't see girls seriously when he was a child, and he didn't know how to contact girls when he grew up. This is his weakness, and he instinctively wants to protect.
"Hey, hey, hey...... You can control him, alas, boy, it's not that Uncle Luo won't help you, your natural enemy has arrived! Luo Youde did not object to Hong Tao's punishment method, and applauded his hands. Swan and Ci Li are about the same age, even if Ci Mi got married, even if it was late, now the children are several years old, but Swan doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, so he has to be treated. This work can only be done by Hong Tao, and if others dare to tease Swann like this, he promises to turn his face and not recognize people.
"Lao Luo, thank you for your hard work, this place is better than I imagined, there must be one or two thousand people here, right?" The boat was getting closer and closer to the pier, and Hong Tao's eyes were not enough, and after looking at the right and left, he fully affirmed the changes here.
"There are more than 4,000 people, it's not that there is not enough land on the north bank, and at the beginning of last year, the south bank was also burned, and now there are thousands of people living on the south bank." Luo Youde couldn't be happy with Hong Tao's praise, Hong Tao only saw the surface, the population was many times larger, but the actual difficulties were even more.
"Nice, nice! It's a whale oil boiling workshop over there, right? I will never forget this smell for the rest of my life, it stinks! Hong Tao squinted his eyes, he didn't even use a telescope, he even smelled and looked, and he already had a rough judgment in his heart.
"There are more than 4,000 people here, and there are two large villages in the upper reaches of the river, so there can be a thousand people, and there are two villages in the jungle, adding up to more than 500 people. There are many people, but they all survive by farming, hunting, and whaling. The food is still enough to eat, and there is no shortage of meat, but there is no black oil here, and our smelter has not been opened much, and we can't make good steel ......" Luo Youde said more and more in a lower voice, he couldn't take it, it had been more than three years, and he hadn't even found a black oil, and he felt sorry for Hong Tao.
"Well, don't worry, I think it's good. It's not like Jinhe Bay, which has a lot of convenient conditions by relying on the Great Song Dynasty. We have time to develop slowly, as long as there are enough people, there is nothing that cannot be found. Don't look sorry for me, it's not me alone, it's our big guys. We have to thank you for running so far and taking care of us. What happened to the Cult of God? Are the people here still obedient? Hong Tao understood Luo Youde's thoughts, but he knew in his heart that Mexico was not a place lacking in oil, and he could find it sooner or later. He paid more attention to the rule of the locals than to the development of industry, and there was no other slave to be caught at will, and if he did not settle the locals, it would be a fatal wound.
"You can rest assured about this, that Joseph is simply ...... Anyway, with his group of people, you're an oracle of the foregoing. Not to mention the people here, even your daughter-in-law was fooled by them into going to the temple to pray all day long, as long as you say that the sun is black, no one will dare to say that it is white. See for yourself, your believers are coming! "Luo Youde has never had a good impression of religion, he is a businessman, and what he does is to fool people. Religion also fools people, and it fools people so badly, it can be regarded as peers, and peers are enemies.
