"Ladies and gentlemen, I know everyone's intentions, and we will draw lots to decide whose ship will dock and unload. Don't worry, this is just one port on our voyage, and Arin's hometown hasn't been there yet, so don't be afraid that the goods won't sell. According to this trend, I don't think we have enough to sell these ten truckloads. "Before Said returned, all the merchants on the ship came to the deck of the Sea King in small boats.

Hong Tao knew that they were a little red when they watched the Wu family ship in the port of Aden first, and this time he didn't designate who would ship the goods on the second shore, but handed over this right to God. The six maritime merchants who came with him this time were all the strongest and most powerful profiteers in the strait company, and it didn't matter who shipped first and who shipped later. Hong Tao believes that they will not suffer in business, as long as they can ensure their safety, there is no need to worry about how to sell and buy goods.

"Those who wore coats were Turkic mullahs and bai's, and the old people who could return from the holy city of Mecca could be called Haj, and that was a compliment to them." This time, Hong Tao was killed and could not go ashore, so he observed the situation on the dock through the glass window in the cabin of the Sea King. Saeed and Alin also each held a telescope, and Saeed also explained to Hong Tao the difference between the crowd on the shore while watching, and carried out the role of this Arab adviser very well.

"Master Bayi...... Is there an Avanti then? Hearing the word Bayi, Hong Tao's mind immediately conjured up a character from a cartoon, dressed in a big robe, wrapped in a white cloth on his head, with a mustache, riding a small donkey...... I used to watch it a lot when I was a child.

“…… It was Greek, and the Persians and Byzantines liked to call the more respectable people so, so why did Your Majesty know about them? Could it be that Your Majesty also saw it from books? Said was surprised by Hong Tao's question. Like him, he has traveled to most Arab cities. Scholars who have also been to Byzantium, North Africa, and Europe do not seem to know as much about the Arab world as Hong Tao. Where does this knowledge come from?

"Yes, in the past, there was a big library in my hometown, as long as there are people in the world, there are records in the books......" Hong Tao knew that he had leaked his mouth again, so he had to bring Australia out as a shield, anyway, it was all sinking, and whoever was not there would say whom.

"But why haven't I heard of Australians coming here? It is also not mentioned in the books here or in the books of Naples. Said is not easy to be foolish, and the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are. You say if all the people were as well-informed as Said. How can the flood rule them! Even making up nonsense and fooling people are questioned by them, let alone using their blood and ignorance to fool people.

"Those books were left by our ancestors a hundred years ago, and Australians only like to travel around but don't want to do business, so they get poorer and poorer, and finally they can't even afford to build a big ship. Therefore, trade should not be underestimated, it can bring help to learning, and the more prosperous the trade, the closer the exchange. If scholars from all countries could sit together, many problems would be easily solved. Go back this time. I intend to establish a Royal Roads University in Port Calamba, where scholars like you from all over the world will be invited to give lectures. It's not just about lecturing. You have to communicate with each other together, all the funds are borne by the royal family, and the university does not charge tuition, but the results of the research must be given to the royal family first, is this fair? If you wish, I would like to ask you to be one of the leaders of the preparatory committee of this university. Use your prestige and knowledge to invite people who are as talented as you are to Royal Roads University. In order to fulfill his lies, Hong Tao can be regarded as fighting, not only breaking his fortune, but also sealing his official position.

“…… But I promised His Majesty William that I would return to Naples......" Said immediately stunned the big pie thrown by Hong Tao, forgetting all about Australia, and his eyes were full of little stars.

"I went to tell William that he was a poor ghost emperor and couldn't afford too much money for research funds, so he simply let the University of Naples and the Royal University be combined into one, and every two or three years, the two sides would send scholars to visit each other, and this would be all solved. Lao Sai, scholars like you, who specialize in the study of political systems and social models of various countries, must go and read more. I have assigned two sea-going ships to Royal Roads University, so that all the scholars in the university can follow the maritime ships to various countries, and eat and drink without worry along the way, so that they can produce results as soon as possible. Human life is limited, and if you waste all your travel expenses and preparation expenses, it is not a waste of money. ”

"That's it, you go and get a personal list, write down the people you want to invite, and then write to them one by one, and ask them to go to Aden, Jeddah, Maskar, Hormuz, and Basra. Merchant ships will have to stay here for a long time before they return, and they can follow them back to the port of Kalamba. In fact, he has long wanted to build a comprehensive university that is more like that of later generations, supplemented by teaching and research. But there was no suitable candidate at hand, so the matter was put down. This time, I contacted Said for a few months, and found that this old man was a relatively pure scholar and did not have too many distractions, so that was him.

Saeed walked away with a flushed face and trotted back to his cabin to draw up the list. Money is not too tempting for him, and being an official is not what he is after, but this Royal Roads University is too tempting for him. Coupled with the support of Hong Tao, an emperor who is also knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and supportive, this Nima must be the will of Allah, so hurry up. As for whether Hong Tao had any other purpose, he didn't have time to think about it.

"Your Majesty, there is no place for a university in Port Calamba, those damned merchants have built their shops on the edge of the palace walls, and the city is full of ......," Alin reminded Hong Tao out of kindness.

"No place? Can't squeeze out a university? Hong Tao really didn't notice this problem, it's true that Port Kalamba has developed rapidly over the years, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Unless the inhabitants of the city are moved out of the city...... But the governor of Po would not let him, and even the king of Taba could not convince him. ”

"Oh, yes, the port of Kalamba is so prosperous, and there are also local residents here, so it's really not appropriate to bomb people out of the city. However, residents cannot move, and no one else can move. You go back and talk to Bo Jiao, and say that it is my suggestion, let King Taba give up the palace for me to be a university, and I will pay him to build a bigger and better palace somewhere else. In fact, his royal palace is not suitable for the port of Calamba, how can the king of a country stay in one port? It was not safe, so he moved inland. "Yes, as soon as Hong Tao's little eyes rolled, King Taba's palace was gone.

That night, Hong Tao's fleet was forced to leave the port of Jeddah and continue north. With a large number of huge ships parked outside the port of Jeddah, many small ships from North Africa did not dare to dock, seriously disrupting the order of the pilgrimage to the holy city. The emir here was quite polite, and sent a son to Saeed to ask if he could move the fleet a little. People are so polite, Hong Tao is also a reasonable person, so just go directly.

The flotilla did not continue north along the Red Sea, leaving behind two warships and two merchant ships, and turned back. Through inquiries in the ports of Aden and Jeddah, Hong Tao did not find a single port on the coastline north of the port of Jeddah that could be used for his fleet to dock. And he also asked one thing clearly, the Yusuf tribe that attacked Port Kalamba was at the end of the Red Sea. The western shore of the Gulf of Suez was their territory, and in order to transport goods from the Red Sea to Cairo and Alexandria, they had to pass through the Yusuf tribe.

In contrast to the friendly reception in the ports of Aden and Jeddah, Hong Tao did not believe that Yusuf's tribe would be happy to see his fleet. Hong Tao is not afraid of any Arab tribe or country, but it is useless to defeat them, and he wants to occupy and maintain an Islan city in an environment surrounded by enemies, which is not something that the current national strength of Jinhe can achieve. So Hong Tao chose to dodge, since there was nothing cheap to take advantage of in the past, then it's better to go to a place where it's easier to take advantage, businessmen, and make money with kindness!
