Chapter 070: Black and White
"Why didn't America show up?" Not all the merchant ships and merchants came, but the two Virginia-class warships also came in along the Haihe River, and from above came a group of warblers and Yanyan, and their leader was a thin little old man, Cixi came.

"He sent me to Mingzhou Harbor and went back, a port is being built on Midway, and he asked me to tell you that it is not suitable for a large shipyard, there is not enough wood, and it is very suitable to be a large port. At present, the three warships that have just been built are all used by him, and Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu are tinkering with a big coal-burning guy in the shipyard in Sun City, saying that they will be able to conduct sea trials around the second half of this year, and they can pull the goods all the way to Midway. Lao Mai asked me if you still need manpower here, Swann and my hapless son's tigress have turned more than half of the tens of thousands of people digging the canal into marines and navies, and there are no guns, no guns, no ships, so they run around in cargo ships with spears and big knives, and our country is about to be turned around by the two of them. Lao Mai couldn't control the two of them, wondering if they should help you, and they would only listen to you if you spoke. As soon as Cixi met, she first asked Hong Tao if he needed manpower, and highly recommended Siwan and Weng Ya.
"Forget it, let the two of them toss Lao Mai and I'll save some snacks, they don't need them here for the time being. I have reached an agreement with the Jinhe Empire not to mix with third-party forces on the issue of the Great Song Dynasty, if they come, what do you think my son and your good apprentice should think? Can you still fall asleep? "Hong Tao is short of manpower, but he would rather lack manpower than dare to get Swan and Weng Ya back. These two are too eye-catching, and their personalities are too violent, with the two of them tossing in the Great Song Dynasty, the Jinhe Imperial Government will soon know, and will immediately have to worry about whether the future of the Great Song Dynasty can be as promised by Hong Tao.
"I've heard Lao Luo talk about that agreement, and I've also seen Yi Yi, who is negotiating with Lao Wen in Lin'an with a group of government officials and parliamentarians from the empire. You have been wronged this time, in fact, if it can be delayed for more than a year, we will be able to settle the Great Song Dynasty ourselves, and we don't need to be inferior to them. Cixi and Bo Jiao's reactions were completely different, Bo Jiao always involuntarily regarded the Great Song Dynasty as a vassal of the Jinhe Empire, but Cixi made the two countries very clear.
"This time it wasn't someone else who forced me, I took the initiative to find them. We are all old, and we don't have much time to start all over again, so the best way is to change the Great Song Dynasty, and when we really can't do it anymore, we will hand over this huge country to Jinhe and them to take care of. For now, this is the best I can come up with, and it can be regarded as a favor for my son, or a favor for the Golden River Empire. After all, it was also built by you and me, and what are you sharing with each other? Are these your swallows? I look like a Song person, when did you develop so many Song people? Hong Tao patted Cixi's shoulder, comforted and comforted this old guy who was the most close to him, he didn't have to complain about his grievances, and looked farther. Then he pointed to the group of girls who were looking around on the docks, a little suspicious.
"They are all girls I bought with money from the buildings in Mingzhou and Lin'an City, and I plan to build a large-scale green building here first, since you want to open a port here, you must have a place for these merchants to eat, drink and have fun. This is only the first batch, I have already sent people to Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and then buy people, there must be popular girls, and there must be female slaves sold from Nanyang. There are rich people in my building, and small merchants and vendors can also have fun, hehehe......" Cixi laughed very obscenely when she talked about her work.
"If you engage in your set of lustful methods again, you can't be a good person in your life. But you still don't have to do it yourself, I'm going to get an agency similar to the Ministry of Supervision in Da Song, do you want to be the most hated person in the country again? "Hong Tao knows what Cixi wants to do, he wants to use this restaurant as an intelligence collection station, and these women are his tentacles, and there must be swallows mixed in them. Useful information is easiest to obtain in bed and at the wine table, both in business and military, and this trick has been used for generations to come, and its essence has remained largely unchanged.
"Hey, hey, hey...... The more they hate me, the happier I live. This time it's even more fun, the previous Supervision Department didn't have an opponent, and now I have to fight with my brother. Cixi didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, she accepted Hong Tao's appointment without saying a word, and there was excitement on her face that couldn't be concealed, she was really a model of doing a line of love and love.
"I'm afraid that the drama of brotherly fighting will not be staged, and as soon as I return, the Ci Weapon will not be reused in the Imperial Government; As soon as you appeared, I guess Ichi was now figuring out how to get your brother down. Don't let Ciqi do the wax, send him a letter and ask him to resign himself and come over, and I'll have him sent to Midway Island when I find time. He hasn't seen kindness and charity for many years, it's time for him to rest and rest, go and reunite with his son, don't wade into troubled waters with the two of us. When it comes to Ciqi, Hong Tao not only feels a little guilty about these two brothers.
Since they were captured as slaves by themselves, they have always been by their side, working hard and grievances, risking their lives to follow them. Isn't it just that I want the family to reproduce better, I can't use others to death, and I have to let go when it's time to let go, otherwise I'm too inhuman.
"Don't worry about him, our brothers have not broken contact in the past few years, and there are also my people in the Imperial Supervision Department. My two nephews are doing well over there, and he didn't have much use in the past. Wherever we go, we are not very welcome, and we are only safe if we are by your side. You blow him away alone, and he is scared every day that he will not live for a few years before he dies. Cixi didn't agree with Hong Tao's arrangement, and she had her own reasoning.
āā¦ā¦ Yes, I ignored this question. Honestly, did you two hate me in private? If I hadn't forced you to do this job, it would be absolutely no problem for you two to be officials in the empire, and you wouldn't have to live a down-to-earth life all day long. Hong Tao understood what Cixi meant, and it did make sense. The people of the empire don't like their brothers, mainly because they don't like the state in which they are fully integrated into that kind of work. When I go to North America, I don't think I will reassure others, who wants to work with a big spy leader all day long, God knows if he will have arranged for people to keep an eye on his every move, and it will be a headache to think about it.
"No, absolutely not! If you hadn't captured our brothers to the Empire, we would probably be gone by now, just like those on Java Island. We can't be better than them when we ask ourselves, and we can't do anything else. Didn't you say that you have to have a skill to be a man, the two of us can be regarded as having it, or you taught us it yourself. It doesn't matter if others like it or not, as long as you like it, if you don't like it one day, our brothers will be really useless. Cixi didn't have so much sentimentality as Hong Tao, he didn't feel that he was at a loss, and he was a little bit of an advantage.
"Yes, I wish I could live longer than your brothers, and with me, no one can touch you both. Okay, let's not talk about this, you haven't named this big restaurant yet, right? Or I'll get you one! This is not the first time this kind of thing has been said, and Hong Tao also believes that Cixi is telling the truth, at least most of it. Since he doesn't feel that he suffers, then he shouldn't be hypocritical, one person has one way to live, and the guarantee he can give them is to protect them as much as possible in his lifetime.
"Of course, the name will be left to you." Cixi took out a small notebook like a trick and prepared to record it.
"Heaven and earth!" Hong Tao walked back and forth on the dock with his hands behind his back for a few steps, facing the east wind blowing on the river, with a resolute expression, and said four words very seriously.
"Good! Bang Bang Bang ...... Your Majesty is becoming more and more poetic now. Even if Wen Nan is here, he has to think that he is inferior. As soon as the words fell, Cixi began to applaud, and it was not enough to applaud alone, but also gestured to the two girls standing next to her to applaud together, highly praising Hong Tao's literary brilliance.
āā¦ā¦ Where else does the name come from? If Cixi didn't talk much, Hong Tao would really be satisfied with the name he came up with, but now it's a little vague, is it another plagiarism?
"Alone without the railing, infinite rivers and mountains, sometimes easy to see and sometimes difficult. Flowing water and falling flowers are gone in spring, heaven and earth! It is a sentence in the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Yulang's sand. The answer to Hong Tao was a crisp female voice, who had been standing diagonally behind Cixi with another young girl.
Since Cixi didn't say anything, Hong Tao thought that these two people were Cixi's henchmen, and he didn't pay much attention to them. Now I pay close attention to it, the two girls are not very old, they look like they are in their early twenties, one has chocolate skin, black hair, and is a mixed race; One has the same skin as a Great Song person, except that his hair has obvious self-curls, and he doesn't look like a purebred Han person. It was the heavy-skinned one who spoke, and she was staring at herself with big eyes.
"Yes, you are more literary than me, Li Yu's words...... It's a bit unlucky, why don't we change it again? As soon as he heard that it was Li Yu's words, Hong Tao felt that it was not very suitable, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was so unlucky.
Li Yu's poem is about his feelings after being captured, reminiscing about his homeland, which he compared to the heavens and his life after being captured to the earth. Now Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty you govern is heavenly, and other countries are all on earth, I don't think there is a need to change, it's very appropriate! "This time, the stubble has been changed to a light-skinned girl, her Chinese is also very standard, and she is more proficient in sycophancy.
āā¦ā¦ Well, both of you are more literate than me, and you specially brought them to disgust me, right? Hong Tao never knew that the word heavenly people was so exquisite, let alone its origin, and at this time it came out of the mouths of two foreign girls, which made him feel a little ashamed.
"Hey, hey, hey...... You are the emperor, where is the time to look at the chirping and crooked things. But I think you're getting older now, and there's more and more things going on, so shouldn't someone around you help you share the burden? Those who serve as soldiers are fine in fighting, but they are far from serving people. What do you think of the sisters? They are twins, I was raised since childhood, proficient in Chinese and Latin, good at handwriting, and not bad at arithmetic. Cixi leaned over to Hong Tao and muttered quietly.
"It's rare, I've heard of black and white twins, and in our country it's called black and white. But it's the first time I've seen it, especially if I look so standard, it's more than one in a million, it's a masterpiece in the world. Hong Tao looked at the two girls carefully, and they were not stage frightened, so they let Hong Tao look generously, and at the same time stared at Hong Tao with two pairs of big eyes.
"Then I'll let the two sisters follow you, and let me waste here." Cixi felt that Hong Tao's knowledge was too wide, and even black and white knew it, and admired it to death.
āā¦ā¦ It's good, but I still want to live two more years, with the two of them here, do you think I can bear it? I'm going to have to live for more than five years. "Very rare mixed-race twin sisters, still have different skin colors, and their posture and figure are good, even Hong Tao couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of spit to suppress his greed, and refused. It's not that I'm worried that Cixi will harm herself, but I really don't have the heart now, the time, and the energy. Crossing did not bring him any physical superpowers, old is old, Xiao Hongtao does not look up once in ten days and half a month, it is very boring to think about it.
