Chapter 076: Another Golden River City

Hong Tao waited in Karl Fort for five days, and did not wait for Karl to return. Originally, he wanted to wait a few more days, and by the way, he and Jiang Zhuyi were tired and tired, but with Qi Zu and Wen Xiaoqi, the two urging ghosts, he had to endure the chatter three times a day for every extra day, once in the morning, noon and evening, don't eat, just eat and talk about leaving. For the health of his digestive system, Hong Tao had no choice but to say goodbye to Jiang Zhuyi, and a small boat of three people drilled out of the Strait of Gibraltar and sailed towards the end of the sea and the place where the sun set.

"You'd better avoid sailing with me in the future, or I'll be able to kill you!" When the boat sailed into the river of Sun City, Hong Tao could finally catch his breath. In the fifteen days since he set off from Karlburg, he has understood what it means to have a broken mouth, and compared to Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu, he is simply a quiet beautiful man.

Not only did these two people not help themselves on the sea, but they also harassed themselves all the time with endless questions, just like two children who were on a trip for the first time, and when they saw a wave a little higher, they had to ask why. And you don't have to explain, just start talking and start getting to the bottom of it. Hong Tao is about to tell the story of the human landing on the moon, but he still doesn't satisfy the two of them, why does the moon attract the waves of the sea?

"My God, this isn't another Golden River! Your Majesty, this—This is what you call Sun City? Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu were no longer interested in asking Hong Tao any more questions, they were frightened by the huge city in front of them.

"It should be......" Not to mention that Wen Xiaoqi and Qi Zu were frightened, even Hong Tao, the initiator, was taken aback.

Less than two years after leaving, the city of the sun, which was originally like a small town, is now really a city, and its scope has expanded to the south bank of the river, not only are there people everywhere on the riverbank, but there are also more than a dozen whaling ships shuttling on the river, and there are even more Indian canoes. From the wharf to the west, the shore is a large bazaar, stretching for half a mile, with simple shacks and regular tiled houses, which are chaotic and regular. In two words, lively! In four words, it is bustling.

"That's Luo Youde!?" Wen Xiaoqi quickly recognized an acquaintance on the dock.

"And Swan...... It turns out that he is the same as the two of us, he is not really dead......" Qi Zu also found one, and looked at Hong Tao as he spoke, as if Hong Tao was a deeply hidden human trafficker.

"There is also charity and kindness, I said that Ciqi heard that the two children are gone, and he didn't cry, it turns out that they are all here with His Majesty!" As more and more people got to know him, Wen Xiaoqi's eyes when he looked at Hong Tao also changed, and he became very similar to Qi Zu.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's too late to regret it now. If you want to get out of here, there is only one way, and that is to become a dead person, a real dead person. There's no law here to protect you, the only rule is me. I said that the sky under my feet and the earth above my head are the earth, and you two will have to take the big top at once, and it will be a sin to be slow. You can find someone to move the things on the ship yourself, they are all acquaintances, so you don't need me to introduce them, where do you not know how to ask them. Hong Tao also found the person he was looking for, the rat and the second rat. At this time, the two children were holding two small wooden guns and firing at themselves, jumping and shooting, as if it was a very happy thing to shoot their own father.

"Don't ask me why I brought them together, we'll talk about other things in two days, give me a little time for myself. It's been a terrible time and it's made me very, very tired. This time, Hong Tao did not perform any miracles for the believers, and the divine envoy was also in a bad mood. After getting off the boat, he only had a brief explanation with Luo Youde, Swan, and Joseph, and then took Tu and his two sons home.

This time back in Sun City, Hong Tao is no longer in a hurry, so he doesn't have to do anything and chatter. Wen Xiaoqi, Qi Zu and the craftsmen here are all very familiar, most of them are their apprentices, there is no need to worry about them. As for research funding, Sun City is a kingdom ruled by God, there is no such thing as currency, and there is no cost or cost, everything is measured by whether it is needed or not.

It can replace the sail to propel the ship to sail, can replace the waterwheel and windmill to drive the operation of machinery, and can replace the ox-drawn cart to transport goods...... Why not something so useful? There are still ten or more cannons that can be fired a minute, which is also a weapon that Sun City desperately needs, and even if he gives Swann a machine gun now, he will not feel wasted, because there are still large areas of land that he needs to conquer and rule.

The reason why Sun City has grown so fast is only because of a quote from Carr, who came to deliver the first oil last year that Medini made wine from sugar cane and corn in the port of Cape Town, which could be sold for a good price in Europe, and the remaining residues could be fed to livestock.

Luo Youde immediately became anxious when he heard this, he and Medini were both businessmen, why should others make a lot of money, and they have to suffer poverty here? In the past, no matter how much goods were produced, there was nowhere to sell, but now that there are Karl's ships, why not have a variety of points. If you talk about the distance, he can be regarded as half of Carl's life-saving benefactor, if he hadn't paid for Carl to buy him, Hong Tao would have no money to save him.

So Sun City also began to transform, from food self-sufficiency to large-scale reclamation of wasteland manor agriculture, which is also what Luo Youde and Hong Tao learned, when Jinhewan was first established, it was the food self-sufficiency problem solved by the production of cooperative estates.

Corn is to be planted, and it is still a staple food for the locals; Rubber forests also have to be planted, which is the focus of Hong Tao's explanation, and Luo Youde did not dare to change Hong Tao's arrangement without authorization; Horses have to be raised, and more and more must be raised, which is also Hong Tao's arrangement cannot be changed; The road system in the rainforest still has to continue to be cut down, and this does not need to be explained by Hong Tao, and Luo Youde will also carry it out.

Labor is needed for so many jobs, and even more labor is needed to reclaim large areas of wasteland to grow sugarcane. The land in the rainforest is fertile enough, but there is also enough rainfall here, and if you want to grow crops, you have to build a drainage system, and you can't make do with it, it must be strong enough, otherwise when the rainy season comes, several heavy rains will be washed away. These things also need labor, but where does so much labor come from?

There is no need for Hong Tao to guide this problem, Luo Youde has his own way. Slaves who did not have to be paid at all, and who only needed to be fed, were the best source of labor. Well, now General Swan's army is immediately bullish, in order to allow Swann to capture more villages and capture more slaves, Sun City's resources have begun to tilt towards the development of armaments.

Only 100 barrels of the first shipload of oil brought in by Karl were left for fractionation for Bush's research, and the rest became fuel for the open-hearth furnace, and as soon as a furnace of good steel came out, the production of rifled guns and artillery would immediately begin. If the steel that comes out is not good, then make it into throwing spears and crossbow arrows, as long as Si Wan can catch the slave back, Luo Youde will give whatever he wants, as long as he has it.

Joseph was not idle, he and Luo Youde cooperated very well. When Luo Youde put forward his demand, he immediately went to find a religious explanation, and through various means, he portrayed the exterminated villages as infidels who had blasphemed the sun god, and arrested them to work for nothing else, mainly to wash away their sins and for their good. Otherwise, if the sun god is angered, it will rain down heavenly fire, and the sun city will be destroyed together.

Compared with the great deception of these professions, the local Indians can only be in a state of being deceived, and even many slaves believe that they were caught and suffered because they violated the gods, and they will not run without wearing torture instruments, and honestly go to burn the wasteland and cultivate the land every day. I have no complaints about sleeping in a shack and eating hard tortillas and whale jerky.

If they are unfortunately injured or die of illness, as long as there are clergy in white robes to burn the corpses with divine fire, everyone thinks that their souls have gone to the kingdom of God. There's an endless amount of food, no storms, no nights...... This is Joseph's description of the kingdom of God, and Hong Tao thinks it is too naïve, but the Indians are willing to believe it.
