Chapter Seventy-Five: Time and Guts

It can be seen that some things are not correct because we hear and see them every day. In modern society, information is developed, and at the same time, the amount is also very large, and when the number is large, there is a situation where Luo Bu is fast and does not wash the mud, and many things are taken out to fool people with half understanding. So, when you encounter something you don't understand, don't ask Du Niang and post it, those places are just an entertainment place, not responsible for learning, want to know the authenticity, or go find some more reliable books to read.

Someone said that your nonsense is flooding, and it is full of words. I'm going to give you a smack! This Nima is the essence of a person, it is a person's perception and experience, this thing is usually not said, who has nothing to take out and tell others, and he has to be scolded after he finishes speaking.

Books, whether they are online or traditional literature, I personally think that books without ideas and books without personal thoughts are rubbish. What is text? Words are a tool to express everyone's voice, and Durima asks not to bring personal thoughts, so what is the use of words? Regardless of whether this idea is right or wrong, it is better to have than not to have. So in my book, from time to time, there will be this kind of thing that some people call private goods, whether I agree or not, I have to write, how to love it. This is my book, how many things can people do according to their own ideas in their lives? If you have to listen to others to write a book, live a life of grievance or not?

Hong Tao also went over to take a look at the racecourse, and it was not too far from the mine, and the three manuu plus two Mongolian prisoners were the horse breeders in the racecourse. The Nanning Army sent fifteen military households to follow the horse breeder, and there was also a real Southern Song Dynasty soldier. It's right next to the horse farm. It can be regarded as armed protection for the horse farm. It is precisely because of these soldiers that they are there. Hong Tao didn't dare to stay in the racecourse for long, and after looking around, he got on the boat and ran. At present, he still wears an unofficial official position appointed by the Southern Song Dynasty court on his head, called Qiji Envoy.

What kind of official is this Qi Ji envoy? No taste! There is indeed a Qiji Yuan under the Privy Council, and there is a group of herdsmen under it, which is dedicated to the management of horses, but there are herdsmen, capital eunuchs, and judges, but there is no such position as a Qiji envoy.

"! Count you ruthless! Knowing that I have no character, I don't have any character. Deliberately give me such a tasteless official! Cheng, Lao Luo, let your vice chairman's Shibo wait, sooner or later, I will let him know what it means to know what it means to be tasteless! Hong Tao knew very well who was making trouble, it was Luo Youde, the vice chairman of the Military Commission. He's trying to hold himself back, regardless of whether he can be used by him in the end or not, anyway, he will be branded as a privy council first. At the same time, he is also telling other forces in the Southern Song Dynasty court, don't stretch out your hand casually, this young man and old man have taken a fancy to it.

"Please call me Bi Ma Wen in the future!" Regardless of whether there is a product or not, Hong Tao is already an official anyway. He also designed a set of official uniforms for himself, which is actually a set of riding clothes. The helmet is lined with baleen and covered with whale skin. Whale skin boots, unfortunately no shoe polish, can only be gray, and a small flag on the helmet, embroidered with three big characters with gold and silver thread, Bi Ma Wen!

Since it is Bi Ma Wen, there must be a group of little monkeys under his hands, and as a result, the students in the navigation school have another benefit, one of them wears the official uniform of Bi Ma Wen, but there is no flag on his head. As for why the nautical school should learn to ride a horse, Hong Tao said, the students who went out of this school are dragons when they go to the sea, and they can't be bears on land, so horseback riding is a must, and they can escape if they can't beat it! For Hong Tao's remarks, the maritime businessmen thought it was true, although they were maritime merchants, but it was inevitable to go to the land to do business, if they could ride horses, it would be much more convenient to walk, and the art would not be pressing, so learn it! Continue to donate money to build smoother horse lanes for your children so that they don't break their arms and legs!

As for how to raise horses, Hong Tao is not clear, he only knows that if a horse herd wants to reproduce, it must not be too small, otherwise the inbreeding population will be degraded. How can I increase the number of horses? Change! There is sugar, and if your fleet goes to the west, you don't want anything, so you exchange sugar for horses. Aren't other maritime merchants having to pay for the way? Yes, let's convert it with horses, come and go, pay me two or three horses for the road fare, don't give anything else, it's useless!

However, at present, the fleet cannot go west, and it has gone to the Indian Ocean twice, both of which run against the monsoon, and the fleet in Jinhewan alone is fine, and it is very difficult to bring these Southern Song Dynasty merchant ships. Although ocean trade is a dangerous job, the maritime merchants are also aware that if they really encounter a storm and a ship and die in a storm, none of them blame it, only their own bad luck. But Hong Tao doesn't think so, one of these maritime merchants is counted as one, they are all part of the group he is going to transform, and if he can live more, he will increase his strength, why should he look for death if he has nothing to do? When there is no way to take risks, if there is a way to take risks, it is a bad brain. Hong Tao asked himself that his brain was not bad, so he didn't care about the persuasion of those maritime merchants, and resolutely did not lead the team to go to sea, so he retreated to the two places of Ximaozhou and Changhe, either going to class or riding horses, and sometimes simply ran back to Jinhewan to live a small life with his three daughters-in-law and three children.

At the beginning of spring, Senya added another son to Hong Tao, a boy with black hair and blue eyes! This time, Hong Tao didn't run, he waited at his own house, and the mother and son were safe, and the process was very smooth. What is the child's name? Hong Tao made another decision that stunned everyone in Jinhewan, this boy has the same surname as his mother, surnamed Sai, and his name is Saifei. Why did he do this, Hong Tao had a good reason, Senya bought it back by herself, but she was already an official resident of Jinhe Bay, and she had the right to keep a part of her existence here, and her surname was an important part of it. Many years later, even though Senia and herself are gone, she has her descendants, and the ancestors of her descendants are not Europeans, but the Serbs of Jinhewan. To put it bluntly, Hong Tao is imperceptibly carrying out assimilation education, this kind of trick no one can figure out now, it looks useless, but it is actually very thorough. Once a person has a sense of identity, it is difficult to change it easily.

Since the beginning of the war, Jinhewan has not been destined to be a single ethnic group. Although the Tanka people, the ethnic groups of Southeast Asia, the Song people, the Arabs, the Mongols, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Eastern Europeans, the Persians, and the North Africans are not many in number, but the ethnic groups are very complex. Now that the Lebanese people are coming again, if the national issue is not properly handled from scratch, once it is left behind, it will be a big powder keg.

How to deal with it? Hong Tao intends to completely erase this national concept, so that there is only one kind of people in Jinhe Bay, that is, Jinhe people. You can have different skin colors, different living habits, and different beliefs, but don't play any tricks of different nationalities. I happen to have the ability to do this at present, so while I am talking and counting, and Jinhewan is still a blank slate, I must do this thing well. Even if this generation is not easy to reform, I can suppress them, and when the next generation comes, it is estimated that few will have a national concept, because the education they have received since childhood determines that they will not have this thinking in their heads. De-nationalization, de-nationalization, emphasizing collectivism and pragmatism, these are Hong Tao's educational principles, as for what kind of people will be educated in the future, God knows.

In fact, Hong Tao is more anxious to go west than those maritime merchants, this route is still very unstable, and the construction of several supply points cannot be controlled, so it is urgent to further strengthen the input of materials and personnel. However, Hong Tao had materials on hand and lacked manpower, or he could not get the right manpower to consolidate those supply points. This problem has always plagued the development of Jinhewan, and the lack of population is a big problem, which cannot be fundamentally solved by the scattered slave capture. Relying on those maritime merchants to send some family members to the supply point to help is also a drop in the bucket, and the final solution is there, but Hong Tao has not spared his hands, or is not bold enough to take risks. Now that he has finally spared enough effort and courage, he plans to make a big profit.

Kung fu was squeezed out, and he and those maritime merchants finally reached an agreement that a fleet would be formed in October this year to go west for the second time, and at that time Hong Tao would also provide a large cargo ship that was more suitable for long-distance voyages to solve the problems of slow speed and poor seaworthiness of the Southern Song Dynasty sea ships. And in the half year from now to October, Hong Tao can arrange freely, and the maritime merchants will no longer bother him. Moreover, in order to give Hong Tao more time to build new ships for everyone, the maritime merchants also formed a supply fleet, and drove the ships along the coastline they had traveled before, and slowly rubbed to the Strait of Malacca to supply and patrol the three supply points there. However, there was nothing they could do about the port of Kabalan, it was too difficult and too dangerous to cross the Indian Ocean, and they could not play it, so they had to rely on the supply ships of Golden River Bay to make regular trips.

After more than a year of trying and working hard, the Wen family finally stumbled to build the legendary fifteen-zhang galleon according to the structural diagram drawn by Hong Tao, and officially launched it at the end of March, at this time it was equipped with a set of improved sails. The construction of this ship was much more difficult than that of the previous three models, because it was so big, nearly fifty meters long, that the original slipway could not be fitted, and it had to be specially expanded with new slipways and launching wooden tracks. Overall, the size is large, and the parts will grow with it, and it is very, very difficult to handle by hand, and it is easy to be dangerous. In the process of building the hull, a total of seven slaves were killed and injured, and even one of the Wen family's grandsons was crippled by the wood. (To be continued.) )
