"My face is drooping?" Hong Tao didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would see that he had something in his heart, and he felt that he was laughing all the time.

"Hehe, it's not good-looking anyway, laughing is like crying. The officer on the ship has already told me that as soon as you enter the mouth of the Golden River, you will have a straight face and frown, so why don't I hurry up and ask you who you are looking at unpleasantly, and I will help you get angry. "Bo Jiao said how filial he was, how filial he was, it was more cordial than talking to his grandfather.

"Since you asked, then I won't wait for tomorrow, originally I wanted to ask you, I have no opinion on opening the port, but there is a problem with such an opening, this is not trying to bring down the empire! Listen to me first. Who allowed foreign merchants to wander around the city of Jinhe at will? Have they been quarantined? Who knows if they are sick or not? Our own immigrants are subject to quarantine for at least 10 years, so why should they be exempt from this rule! You are not afraid of getting sick yourself, but I am afraid! My sons and daughters are afraid! As soon as Hong Tao talked about it, he didn't even eat the noodles and slapped them on the table.

He was a man with a slight habit of cleanliness and was especially afraid of disease. No matter where you go, as long as there are conditions, the first thing must be epidemic prevention, even if you go to the village of Tu, you must first improve the sanitary conditions, do not defecate in the open, and are currently letting Joseph test cowpox on slaves. He was not afraid of Mongol cavalry, Arab camel soldiers, European knights, but he was afraid of any kind of disease that could kill him. However, as Jinhe City became an open port, this basic national policy was actually ignored, and he did not see any quarantine measures, and those foreign merchants swaggered into Jinhe City after coming ashore, and still wandered around the military dock.

“…… It's not that I don't want to, but through a vote, everyone thinks that there is no danger, anyway, the merchant ships of the empire often have to come back, and they can't be quarantined every time. Bo Jiao clicked his lips and replied weakly.

"Can that distinguish the inhabitants of the empire from the activities of foreign maritime merchants? Foreign merchants had a special area for their activities, and they were not allowed to go anywhere else, so as not to interfere with the daily life of the inhabitants of the empire. "What Bo Jiao said is also really difficult, Hong Tao doesn't want to open the port at all, and he doesn't want to do it now, but he can't help it, but he still has to work hard to limit the opening to a minimum, so that the danger of the empire can be minimized.

"I'm afraid it's even harder, because many residents in the city have already applied to set up shops in their houses, and it won't be long before the city will be the same as the commercial docklands. Except for the south coast, the military port, the fort and the vicinity of the Milky Way, there are no forbidden areas in other places, which shouldn't matter, right? "Bo Jiao seems to have treated Jinhe City as if it were a port of Kalamba, and has moved a set of management methods that he has implemented there.

"......" Hong Tao began to snort, he didn't blame Bo Jiao on this issue, even if he got Wen Nan to this position, he might not necessarily agree with his own thoughts. In fact, it is impossible for anyone in this world to agree with his own ideas, and now he is wondering if there is any other way to remedy it, whether he can get another amendment or something, and tie the fence tighter again.

"Actually, most of the people who are going to set up shop in the city are family members of the councillors, and I know it's not a good idea, but didn't you tell me that you had to find a way to get them to agree to the new military service system and the gun law. They are so stubborn that I can only exchange these benefits with them. I don't think it's important to open a few shops compared to the new military service, and it doesn't matter if you let foreign businessmen into the city. Before Hong Tao could come up with a way, Bo Jiao added.

"Hehehe...... Hehehe......" After hearing Bo Jiao's words, Hong Tao was stunned, and then let out a weird laugh, dry.

"Uncle, shouldn't you do this?" Bo Jiao made Hong Tao smile unnaturally.

"Tell me honestly, did you come up with these ideas yourself?" Hong Tao suppressed his laughter, rubbed his face, and took a deep breath.

"Part of it was discussed with the ministers, and part of it was thought by the advisers...... I found a couple of consultants, all of whom were top graduates of the nautical school. As you know, in addition to commanding warships, I have management experience in the port of Callamba. Actually, I don't ask too much about the specifics there, it's all in the hands of the king and his sons, and I just need to nod my head and agree. Suddenly I was asked to be prime minister, and I had everything every day, and I couldn't keep myself busy. Later, Minister Yi gave me an idea to find a few more consultants with real talents to help me think together. I think it's a good idea, every time you go to an unfamiliar place, don't you also find consultants, so I found a few. Is it because they didn't have the right idea, or I'll send them all back...... Actually, they're quite capable. ”

As Hong Tao expected, these ideas were not come up with by Bo Jiao, which did not fit his style. But what Hong Tao didn't expect was that Bo Jiao actually knew that he was looking for a consultant, and it was still an advisory group! Isn't this Nima a think tank, the Prime Minister's think tank! Bo Jiao has his own team, the team based on the second generation of Jinhewan!

"There's nothing wrong with that, that's good, you're really too busy to be alone, you have to find someone to help you......" What can Hong Tao say? I think it's easy to be prime minister myself, except for a little more trivial things, it's not difficult. That's because I know the direction of history very well, I know where to go next, as long as I find the general direction, the details can be thrown to others to do. But Bo Jiao doesn't know, he is trembling every step he takes, he doesn't know what is ahead, and he will inevitably feel extremely difficult.

Finding a think tank to advise you is not only not wrong, but also the right choice. As for using national interests as political bargaining chips in exchange for other people's support for one's own political propositions, it is also a very wise choice. Fairness is only relative, a government cannot be full of Lei Feng, not mixed with selfishness, it is not a person, as long as this phenomenon can be controlled within the controllable degree, it is a good government. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the ancestors have long known this truth.

But in this way, it will be more difficult for him to influence the decision-making of the Jinhe Empire's government, and as time goes by, the rulers of Bo Jiao will trust their team more, and he will really become a symbol of the emperor, dispensable.

In fact, this does not conflict with Hong Tao's concept at all, but the steps are too fast. Hong Tao had originally planned that it would take another ten or twenty years for the empire to take this step. First lay a solid foundation in front of you, evolution is not busy, and there is time to get used to it slowly. But now it seems that he is not in a hurry, someone is in a hurry, and the second generation of those Jinhe countries can't help it. These young men who have just come out of school are gearing up to show their skills, to make contributions to the country and themselves. This trend can't be stopped, even if they use extraordinary means to regain their rights, they still can't stop their thoughts, this is human nature.

Once you stand on the opposite side of them, then you are their mortal enemy, and if you don't get rid of them, you won't have a chance to get ahead. If you tell them to endure it for a few more years, they won't listen to them at all, and they will 100% think that they are deliberately blocking them from progressing, and then they will think of themselves as dictators who are attached to power. The consequences can be imagined, either they suppress them themselves, or they overthrow themselves, and they have to be unlucky together with their families.

"I'm not trying to interfere with your policies, I'm just trying to fill in the gaps. For example, our military port and shipyard slipway are too close to the commercial dock, and once something happens on the commercial dock, it is difficult to control it. If someone deliberately sank the ship in the channel, our warships would not even want to get out, and could only rely on the batteries at the mouth of the river to defend themselves. What if they bypassed the fort and landed somewhere else? Have you thought about it? Can the Jinhe Kingdom without a fleet beat any small country? Hong Tao suddenly felt that he was very tired, and he also felt a sense of disgust for this place, because it was getting farther and farther away from what he hoped it would be. I don't know if I'm obsessive-compulsive, but I don't like the current Jinhe City anyway, I don't like it at all. But reason tells its mouth that it has to be said.

"Hey, hey, look at this. I'm going to build a new port on the tidal flats outside the estuary, and then move the merchant wharf to it, so that I can't go near the estuary channel, will that be possible? Bo Jiao finally showed a smile on his face, he took out a design drawing from his leather bag, pushed it in front of Hong Tao like a treasure, and then waited for Hong Tao's praise. This was designed by him and his think tank, plus Kong Pei, Wen Xiaoqi, and Wen Xiaosi, no matter how that aspect, it is also a very good idea.

Hong Tao had forgotten how Bo Jiao had gone, his mind had been in a mess, and he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. What Bo Jiao gave him, he just subconsciously looked at it, subconsciously said it, what he saw and said, and soon he lost his impression. When Bozhu and her mother and daughter came back, he was still sitting at the dining table, looking at the bowl of noodles on the table in a daze.

"The sauce isn't salty enough?" Hong Tao's mouth was heavy, and Bo Zhu didn't move a few bites when he saw the noodles, thinking that the fried sauce was not salty enough.

"Ah Zhu, how about we leave Golden River City and go to Cape Town for a while?" Hong Tao still looked at the bowl of noodles that had been lumped and did not look up.

"Moving? What did Po Jiao say to you? Bo Zhu stunned her husband's brainless words, and then became nervous. As soon as Bo Jiao left, her husband was about to move, could it be that the two of them quarreled just now? Hong Tao's temper she knows well, although this person looks amiable, but he is very proud in his bones, whoever makes him uncomfortable, he will either target anyone, or avoid anyone.
