Hong Tao didn't know about these private exchanges and thoughts between the two of them, and there was no need to know that what others thought didn't mean much to him. As long as the strength is enough, he wants others to think what they want, others have to think, he has to be happy if he is happy, he has to endure it if he is not happy, and whoever can't bear it will go to the sea to feed the sharks!

Dinner was eaten at Hong Tao's house, or was it specially arranged. Because Jinhewan is still a social model of a big pot of rice, every household eats canteens, and does not cook on fire at all, in order to let Luo Youde not be careful, Hong Tao specially asked the canteen to make a few game for himself, which is the most grand reception banquet. In addition to the meal, Hong Tao also invited several directors to accompany him, but only Old Man Rong and Qi Zu came, and the other Tan family members did not like to socialize with the Song people more. In order to make up the numbers, he had to call Karl, Martini, and Kong Pei over, and finally filled a table.

The meals are very simple, all big plates and bowls are greeted up, the canteen cook, whether it's good or not, make sure you are full! However, the liquor is very powerful, both wine and high-grade liquor distilled from rice wine by the women of the Women's Federation according to the method taught by Hong Tao, and rum made from sugar cane syrup. This specification is already very high, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has never drunk high-grade liquor and rum. In addition, let the three Persian dancers dance with them is also one of the entertainment programs, these girls to Jinhewan, language barriers, food is not used to food, and they can't do anything, dancing is their most capable skill, no need to force at all, usually nothing they dance in their own yard, but unfortunately no one is serious about it, only the young man who secretly watches.

"Alas...... What a system! She is more than 6 months pregnant. Dance with a big belly. This, this, this! Don't eat ......" when Hong Tao's second daughter-in-law, Senya, got Hong Tao's permission. When she also changed into her original short dress and came to dance with the guests, Old Man Rong was unhappy again, and slapped the chopsticks on the table angrily, but it was because Luo Youde was present, so he didn't throw Hong Tao's head directly.

"Hey, hey, Weng, they're sturdy, they're fine. It's not a bad idea to be more active after pregnancy. Besides, they like to dance, and when they are happy, it is also good for the child, and maybe they can give me a dragon and phoenix baby. One blue eye is like their mother, and one black eye is like me. "Hong Tao has already grasped how to fool this old man, when he is angry, you can't have a hard fight with him, but don't follow him, just mess around. Old man. The energy is poor, and when it is stirred, it loses its temper.

"Poof...... Hahahaha. W-Isn't that a monster! Before Hong Tao's words fell, a sip of wine was sprayed on his neck, Wen Nan couldn't hold back, and he didn't turn his head fast enough, just took a sip, and gave it all to Hong Tao.

"Hi Hi! Isn't this pretending to make a mistake to take advantage of me, you wait, don't talk, as soon as you speak, I will drink, and I will laugh if I can't keep it! "Hong Tao is a little clean, no matter how good things are, drinking them in other people's mouths and then squirting them, and spraying them on their necks, they are a little disgusting, and they will be anxious immediately.

"Brother Hong, Brother Hong, don't be impatient, Brother Wen didn't mean to, let him change ...... with me" Luo Youde saw that the dinner table was about to fight, and quickly pulled Wen Nan to his seat, which was regarded as adding a firewall between Hong Tao and Wen Nan.

"I think blue eyes are beautiful......" Carl added, still annoying that the table was not lively.

"No, my children must have black eyes! Otherwise, how will you go out and meet people in the future! Brother Hong, are all your children black-eyed? Po Zhu didn't have any dissatisfaction with Senya, but when she heard that the child would be blue-eyed in the future, she wasn't happy anymore. In her mind, as long as Hong Tao's child is her child, she feels ashamed to have a blue-eyed child.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all black-eyed ......" The wine on Hong Tao's right neck had not yet been wiped clean, and the daughter-in-law on the left pulled his arm and shook it again, so she could only deal with it casually.

"But it may be red-haired or yellow-haired......" After saying this, Hong Tao felt that it was not good to lie, so he spared again.

"Oops...... It's ugly, and I won't eat it either! The smile on Bo Zhu's face was not fully revealed, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, he involuntarily turned his head to look at Carl. Just in time for Carl to not shave today, this face with yellow hair and red hair is really not good, so angry that she also flicked her chopsticks and left the table with the salamander in her arms.

"Hey, hey, stop, stop, parents, we'll talk later, let's get down to business! Lao Luo, you've seen and seen this place of mine, and it's almost turned around, so what's not to worry about? If not, give me a happy word, do you plan to continue to cooperate with me in the future? If you haven't thought about it yet, tell me too, I'll give you three days to think about it, and I'll send you back after three days, and you'll have to give me an accurate answer when the time comes. It's not a joke, it's about my future arrangements. Seeing that everyone had eaten almost, Hong Tao's neck was also wiped clean, so he simply didn't eat it, put the chopsticks down, and put forward his own request straightforwardly, pointing the finger at Luo Youde, without even saying a kind word.

“…… I don't know what kind of charter Brother Hong said about continuing to cooperate, it's not to let me follow you overseas to occupy the mountains and be kings, right? Luo Youde didn't feel too abrupt about Hong Tao's straightforward question, he was probably not idle in his mind, he didn't come here to play in the mountains and rivers, and it was not the first time he had encountered Hong Tao's way of doing things, so he put away his smile at the moment and threw the question back generously.

"This is simple, if you cooperate, you and your uncle are still doing business in Da Song, whale oil, soap, candles, sugar...... There will be more goods to sell in the future, as long as there is something here and can be sold, I guarantee that Brother Luo will be the first to get it, and in the entire Great Song Dynasty, I will only give you one person the goods. Of course, in addition to the benefits, there are also responsibilities, and my side has met Brother Luo's needs, and Brother Luo should in turn meet some of the needs of the younger brother. I try not to ask Brother Luo to do anything that violates the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is such a thing, I will also ask Brother Luo's opinion in advance, and Brother Luo can choose to refuse. But there is one thing, once Brother Luo agrees to this cooperation, then you can't withdraw at will, at least not unilaterally, you can't say that you have earned enough money, and if you don't want to play, you just don't want to do it, and I have to find someone else to cooperate with. If this happens, Brother Luo, to put it mildly, for the sake of our collective interests, you and I will be life and death rivals, and we will never die. On our side, this is called an agent of interests, Brother Luo is the agent of Jinhewan's interests in the Great Song Dynasty, we will ensure to a certain extent that the position of Brother Luo's agent is not interfered with by others, and try to ensure the safety of Brother Luo's net worth in the Great Song Dynasty, and if necessary, we may use force. Of course, before that, we will communicate with Brother Luo, and we will not take unilateral action, probably like this. In fact, Hong Tao doesn't need Luo Youde to make any big sacrifices, he just needs a stable agent, but it is relatively fixed than before. Because Hong Tao is about to start infiltrating the Great Song Dynasty, many things need to be communicated in advance, don't break up halfway, that is too inefficient.

"That's all?" Luo Youde understood, these requirements were very unexpected to him, and his thinking was much more complicated than what Hong Tao said.

"I repeat again, I'm not a grass coward who occupies the mountain as the king, and I don't want to grab the seat of your official family, and I don't even want to go to the Great Song Dynasty to start a family! I have my own room for development, if it weren't for the help of the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Mongols, I would have taken my people back to my hometown to live, and it is more comfortable there than here. This is the last time I explain what I mean, and all of you here should not worry too much about this issue in the future, because the position of the emperor is not attractive to me. Hong Tao understood what Luo Youde wanted to say, he was afraid that he would let him do something that secretly opposed the Great Song Dynasty. After all, he was a Song man, and he had a high degree of identification with the Song Dynasty, and the money was not enough for him to completely betray the country.

"Then Brother Wei doesn't have to think about it, I also believe in Brother Hong's sincerity, although I don't really understand Brother Hong's intentions, but Brother Wei is willing to help Brother Hong. However, there is a very doubtful place for my brother, and Brother Wanghong can make it clear. Luo Youde basically didn't think much about it, and was ready to agree to Hong Tao's request.

"Please." Hong Tao didn't know what Luo Youde was going to ask, no matter what he asked, just try to tell him the truth.

"At this time, hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops are besieging the capital of Jin, and the Mongolian envoys have arrived in Lin'an. In this way, Mongolia and our dynasty should be friends, and after destroying the Jin country, maybe we can return the territory of our dynasty, how can Brother Hong judge that the Mongols will definitely invade the south? They are not good at farming, and there is no grassland for them to graze in our dynasty, and the northerners are not used to living in the south. Luo Youde didn't ask a question directly, but introduced the battle situation in the north to Hong Tao at this time, he had an advantage in staying in Lin'an, that is, he was very close to the court, he could hear a lot of big things, and his reliability was relatively high.

"Oh, that's the problem...... Indeed, this is a difficult question to explain, how to say it? Hong Tao was really asked, he knew that the Mongols were 100% absolutely going to invade the south, but he saw it through the history books, as for the reason why the Mongols had to invade the south, it is difficult to explain clearly in this era, especially with the Song people, with their knowledge, many explanations are not very logical, how to convince them is a big problem.
