Chapter 42: Fishing (Kingsgirl Floating Red Plus 2)
Senya's arrival made Bo Zhu feel relieved, and when Hong Tao was in the camp in the past, he often taught her to ride a horse in the early morning. The wooden house is not very soundproof, and everyone gets up very early, Hong Tao can not care, but she can't do it, and she doesn't dare to go out of the house for most of the day. Now that this torturous movement has finally been undertaken by other women, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and coaxed the salamander in her own room steadily, and prayed to Mazu Niangniang by the way to let the child in her belly be a boy. This time Hong Tao married a foreign woman, although the old man Rong had already told her the reason, and Hong Tao also liked Hong Salamander, but she still thought that it had something to do with her first child giving birth to a girl.
After tossing Senya, Hong Tao handed her over to Bozhu and asked her to participate in the work of the Women's Federation, and have more contact with the residents of Jinhewan, which is conducive to learning the language and allowing her to integrate into this small community as soon as possible. He himself went to the school to teach math and geography to the children, and now there are more than 60 children in Jinhewan Primary School, plus some auditors. Whenever Hong Tao gave a lecture, he asked all the crew members on the ship to come and listen to it, and as for the courses of other teachers, choose your own!
"Goodbye Principal......" After a morning lecture on unary equations and Asian geography, the children politely stood up and bowed to Hong Tao, and sent him out of the classroom with neat slogans. These things were all requested by Wennan after he came, and Hong Tao felt that it was necessary, but he changed Wennan's set of Song Dynasty etiquette and replaced it with modern language.
"Wen Langzhong, the last time I asked you about that, you haven't answered me yet, do you have time today. Let's go catfish fishing. "Out of the classroom. I ran into Wen Nan, who had just finished class. Hong Taopi smiled and sent him an invitation.
"I haven't eaten yet...... Wen Nan has long lost the idea of confrontation with Hong Tao, and he really can't play it. As a diplomat of the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Nan has always felt that he is a well-informed person, but since he came to this Jinhewan, he has been forced to change this understanding. He had never seen someone so shameless, so thick-skinned, so vicious, so intelligent.
Everything in Jinhewan made this Southern Song Dynasty scholar feel confused, very much like fog, rain and wind. There are things he can understand. There were some things that he couldn't understand, and these things all came together, which made him feel a little and a lot of confusion. And that damn Hong Tao always discusses with him when he has nothing to do, explains some doubts to him, and then makes him have more problems, which is very, very torturous.
"I have grilled fish and wine on the boat, don't take candy with me, the scenery upstream is no worse than the West Lake, do you want to go shopping?" Hong Tao understood very well the psychological state of Wen Nan, a captive. He was very conflicted in his heart, and what happened in Jinhewan could make every Southern Song literati curious. According to their temper, they will not give up until they understand it. It's just that the motivation for them to figure it out is to bring down their own theories, and this kind of spiritual temptation is very addictive.
"Don't go, don't go!" Wen Nan is an alcoholic, and he can't be said to be an alcoholic, but he likes to drink very much, and in this case, it is also a good way to relax by drinking alcohol. But his amount of alcohol is really not good, as soon as he drinks too much, he will drink and scold wildly, and the target is usually Hong Tao.
"Help me get the rod and don't have to follow me." Although Cixi has become an official resident of Jinhewan, he still treats Hong Tao like when he was a slave captain, as long as Hong Tao wants to do something, and he is nearby, he is guaranteed to be the first to run over and obey orders.
"You're not afraid that I'll run away after I break out?" Wen Nan felt that this was a good time to run on Hong Tao.
"You? Still erupting? Hey, Wen Langzhong, you're really ashamed! The ancients paid attention to the six arts of gentlemen, you tell me, how many will you have? Is there four? Compared to the two of us, I'm more like a gentleman than you, right? In addition to the rites and books, I'm afraid I can all four! Hong Tao pushed the small wooden boat into the water, and at the same time pursed his mouth like a scoop, his face full of contempt. He does have the right to look down on this Wennan or Southern Song Dynasty intellectual, if you put aside the premise of the traverser, Hong Tao's attainments in royalty, archery, mathematics, and music are enough to meet the requirements of a gentleman.
"You're all sideways, not gentlemen!" Wen Nan appreciated Hong Tao's sharp teeth more than once, and his face became a little thicker, and after being refuted by Hong Tao, not only did he not blush, but also tried to quibble.
"Oh, if you don't know it, it's all non-gentleman's way, and what I will do is all side door! You asked the saint, that's what he told you? I can feed the people who follow me, let their children learn the way of a gentleman, I can build a big ship to go thousands of miles away to spread the prestige of my Great Song Kingdom, I can catch the whale salamander you call a divine beast to boil oil and eat meat, and I can beat the Mongolian sailors without any power to fight back! Your way of being a gentleman has even been occupied by foreigners in my family's ancestral tomb, and the emperor has been captured by others and taken back as a court clown. Hong Tao grabbed Wen Nan by the neck and pushed him onto the boat, then took the fishing rod and some food from Cixi, and got on the boat himself.
"My lord can make my son a captain and make gold out of a mountain stream! Don't go back to being your petty official, marry a slave girl as a daughter-in-law, and make a home here. I'll find you a fertile paddy field to grow rice and sugarcane, fool! Cixi also heard the conversation between Hong Tao and Wen Nan, he felt that Hong Tao's self-evaluation was not perfect, so he quickly added two more achievements that he thought were the most critical, and then helped Hong Tao persuade Wen Nan. In his opinion, this Wen Nan must be the person Hong Tao wants to stay, it is estimated that he is teaching children to learn to read and write, and he also has a daughter who is in school, so he must help Hong Tao leave him.
"......" Wen Nan can't even say a Hong Tao, and Cixi can't even say it, so let's just shut up.
"You can't win a fight with me, because I know a lot of things that you don't know and don't understand. I'm going to sail to the sea in a few days, to the Great Food Country, haven't you been there? The horses on the hillside were bought by me from the Great Food Country, and there were forty of them...... Oh no, one died, and there were thirty-nine left. But now there are only a dozen or so horses on the hillside, do you know where I got the remaining ten? After a few strokes, the boat left the shore and entered the river and began to swim upstream. Hong Tao doesn't run much anymore, because the dirt roads here are not smooth and it's easy to stumble, so he makes mast climbing and rowing a must-do exercise every day.
"I'm going to the land of no horses, otherwise I wouldn't have made you laugh at it like this!" Wen Nan was still angry, and he also blamed the failure of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties against the northern peoples to be due to horses.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm not sure if it's because of the horses, but I've given the other fifteen horses to your officials. I just came back from Lin'an last month, and the horses were in the backyard of the city outside the Chongxin Gate, and I don't know if the official family accepted my gifts. Didn't I ask you this question last time, you never answered me, do you think your official family will accept it? Although Hong Tao made psychological preparations for the Southern Song Dynasty court to reject him, he was still very worried about this matter.
"Fifteen horses, what's the use?" Wen Nan was still snorting angrily.
"I went with the horses, and I had a plan. I wrote to your official family that I want to help the imperial court run a horse farm in Yazhou, if your imperial court approves it, in a few years, there will be a steady stream of good horses sent from Yazhou to various places, and then reproduce, I think there is a decade or twenty years, the Great Song Dynasty will not lack horses, right? And the price I offered was very low, and the price I sold to the court of the Great Song Dynasty for those horses on the hillside was less than that of a wide horse, do you think they would agree to my suggestion? "It was very difficult to row against the current, especially this heavy wooden boat, but Hong Tao rowed very vigorously, and the distance of a few hundred meters only made his face sweat.
“…… What do you want!? Wen Nan didn't have emotions this time, Hong Tao said that this matter was a bit informative, and he couldn't figure out Hong Tao's thoughts for a while, and he didn't know whether what Hong Tao said was true or not.
"What is the intention? Didn't I make it very clear, raising horses for the Great Song Dynasty! I want to see if your court can defeat the Mongols once you have horses. The Jin State even lost the capital, and the Central Capital may not be able to hold it, once the Mongols, who are more ferocious than the Jin people, take the hot iron and go south, can the Song army with war horses withstand it? I don't ask them to recover the Northland, as long as they hold the current line of the Huai River and the Han River, they will be considered big heroes. Hong Tao stared at Wen Nan a little playfully, wanting to hear how he answered.
"Don't talk about going to war lightly, and start a war ......" Wen Nan is very cunning, when he is in trouble, he does not answer Hong Tao's questions directly, and always finds some ambiguous nonsense to fool things.
"Stop! I didn't say let Da Song attack, and you don't have the qualifications. I mean the Mongols attacked, and with war horses, could the army of the Southern Song Dynasty defend it! "If you leave others alone, you won't be angry and ask questions, but Hong Tao doesn't do it, he has to stab others in the heart to be unhappy.
“…… If you don't work in his position, I don't have any research on military affairs......" Wen Nan still refused to say, his kung fu around the circle was also first-class, and it must be first-class. Diplomats, from ancient times to the present, there has not been a word of truth in his mouth, it is all false.
"High! Your mouth is really neat, and your thinking is also very sharp, if you rely on your lips to fight, let alone the Mongols, you stand by the sea alone, and you can ensure that no one dares to commit in the South China Sea for fifty years! It's a pity, if you really fight, it's useless for you to say anything. Hong Tao is convinced, although he can speak, but he rarely messes with others, and he doesn't like to mess around, since Wen Nan doesn't admit it, then don't talk about this topic. By this time the boat had rowed a long way out, making two bends along the river, passing gold and copper mines along the way. Eventually, Hong Tao found a shoal and docked the boat, where the woods are sparse and the current is slow, making it a good place for fishing. (To be continued.) )
