The next itinerary Hong Tao had to change temporarily, he couldn't go to Lin'an, he took three court officials in the cabin, and dared to go to the capital to shake around, isn't this a death. After leaving the deck and going to land, he just left the water, and couldn't jump a few times, so that he could live a few more days for his own life, and he should find a chance to visit this metropolis, which is said to be the most prosperous city in the world. As for the issue of sugarcane, you can also go back to Guangzhou to ask Luo Dacai, one of their nephews and uncles is in Guangzhou, and the other is north to Lin'an, and the distribution is quite reasonable.

In fact, Hong Tao didn't even dare to enter the port of Guangzhou, and directly sent Carl ashore in a small boat, and the Haibo stopped outside the port, and after Carl sent his handwritten letter to Luo Dacai, he boarded the ship directly and returned to the sea, turned around and ran to Jinhe Bay. At this time, the dead people in the bilge had already begun, and if they did not hurry back, these slaves would be captured in vain, and all of them would starve to death.

“…… 91、92、93…… What is this? Forget it, it's dead! Hurry up, pour rice soup on them one by one, not much! Adults, there are 93 alive, 11 dead, and 2 don't know if they can be relieved. "At the Jinhewan Wharf, Cixi is carrying people up from the bilge of the Haibo with two teams of slaves, the people inside have not eaten for several days, few can come up on their own, the stench is everywhere on the deck, I don't know if it is the smell of excrement or the smell of corpses.

"Burn all their clothes, shave all the hair on their bodies, and go down to the river one by one to bathe in soap and rub them several times. Wherever they have come into contact with it, it will be disinfected with lime water, and once someone is found to be sick, such as a fever, stomach trouble, etc., immediately dispose of it for me, and it is not allowed to be buried indiscriminately, and it must be burned to ashes with heavy oil, do you hear? Otherwise, there will be a plague, and we will all be finished! Hong Tao had been standing on the stern, not daring to make do with the slaves, and asked Cixi to command people to blast away the relatives of the crew on the dock, and none of the sailors on the ship were allowed to get off the ship, and they had to stay on the ship for five days to make sure that there was no infectious disease before they could go home. He himself is treated the same, and now there are three or four hundred residents in Jinhe Bay, and Hong Tao is not afraid of anything, just the plague. This thing is coming, no one can cure it, and I have been tossing and turning for several years, and I have to go back to the pre-liberation period all of a sudden.

"Don't worry, sir! I'll arrange ...... "Cixi is no longer alone, with a few helpers, all of whom are active in the organization among the slaves, Hong Tao simply set up a small organization for them, called the work team, Cixi is the captain, his subordinates are the team members, and the job is to be responsible for managing the life and work of these slaves and so on. In order to bring more slaves closer to the organization, the members of the task force were higher than ordinary slaves and lower than the inhabitants in terms of life, work, and status.

"Wait, let's arrange for someone to clean the boat with lime water and high wine, this smell is too bad. Bo Jiao, take everyone down to the river to bathe, give all the clothes to Cixi, let him burn them together! The more Hong Tao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and began to take off his clothes as he spoke, and after slipping, he jumped directly from the side of the boat into the river, and did not dare to stay on the boat for a minute.

It took five days to end the anti-epidemic campaign, which not only exhausted Hong Tao and the crew, but also made the residents of Jinhewan a little panicked. The plague is not only afraid of Hong Tao, but also others, but fortunately, it is a false alarm, except for a slave with a relatively weak physique who has not recovered, and the others will be fine after eating. This time, Hong Tao was more benevolent and righteous, and told Cixi not to rush them to work in the mine first, and to recuperate for half a month before using it, and by the way, explain the rules here to them clearly.

As for whether the Japanese, Mongolians, and Koreans among these people can understand Cixi's Chinese, Hong Tao doesn't have to worry about it, under Cixi's whip, language is not an obstacle at all, and after a few whips, he understands everything.

Wen Nan and his two entourages were stopped by Hong Tao, and instead of entering the courtyard where the new slaves lived, they were taken to the primary school and handed over to Chen Mingen. Because he was forcibly stripped naked, and was pressed by several slaves in the river to rub with soap, and his long hair was cut off, Wen Nan once again included Hong Tao in the list of wicked people, and scolded resolutely refused.

Hong Tao didn't talk much nonsense, but asked Cixi to arrest Wen Langzhong's colleagues and family members, hang them on a tree and serve them with a big leather whip, and before he could smoke it, this Wen Langzhong succumbed, an ancient literati still wanted to fight with the social oils of later generations, and there was no hope of winning at all. So there are three more new teachers in Jinhewan Primary School, there is no need to play Chen Mingen alone, and the students can also be divided into classes according to their age, no longer like chasing ducks, dozens of children are sitting in the courtyard to listen to the class, each with their own classroom.

"Why not educate the words of the saints? Let me be a teacher, and I have to do it my way! Wen Nan still didn't give up, and he still wanted to talk to Hong Tao about the conditions.

"You die of this heart, these children are much more important to me than you, I warn the three of you, if you dare to hit any crooked brains on children, I will not be so good at talking, burn you from head to foot with hot oil, and peel off the whole human skin, but people are still alive, if you want to taste it, just try it." Whoever violates my rules, the three of you are unlucky together, and when the time comes, I can only blame you for making friends carelessly, don't blame me! "Hong Tao is a force to ten times, no matter what you play with me, I will just one word, kill! I don't believe that the neck is harder than the steel knife. This method may not be suitable for use in a large society, but it is 100% effective when used in Jinhe Bay. Because the main body of society here is the Tan family, even if everyone else is killed, the Tan family will firmly stand on Hong Tao's side, at most complaining that he is too cruel, but it is just complaining.

"Cixi! Call all the new slaves out and line them up, and then ask me what they do to know what they do. Tell them that if you know more craft, you will have one more way to live, but don't plan to fool around, I will find someone to identify, and whoever fools me will be unlucky! "Wen Nan's matter gave Hong Tao a wake-up call, this Wen Langzhong is really versatile, he not only knows Japanese and Korean, but also speaks Nanfan, Hong Tao is estimated to be something like ancient Malay. His colleague is the same, he knows several foreign languages and is a well-known painter. Not only did there be three more teachers in the school, but there were also several more homework.

Reminded by this incident, Hong Tao suddenly remembered that the slaves captured this time were no longer those uncivilized Southeast Asian fishermen, including Japanese nobles and Mongolian regular soldiers, and there might be people with craftsmanship among these people.

"Oops...... It seems that in the future, the Song people who will have to catch some of the north have returned, and Japan will also have to go, they are all talents! Sure enough, after some appraisal by the leaders of all walks of life in Jinhe Bay, a lot of talents with craftsmanship were really found from this group of new slaves.

For example, among the captured Song officers and soldiers, there were blacksmiths and carpenters who accompanied the ships, and they were not only familiar with the production of many weapons, but also repaired ships, so they would naturally be able to build ships and be helpers for the Wen family and Qi Zu. There are also several people who are good at tending to the crops, and they are not born to join the army, and they were farmers before they became soldiers. And those Japanese aristocrats are even more talented and less wasteful, after all, they are people who can receive relatively higher education and have more exposure to things. From it, Hong Tao selected two people who had a textile workshop at home, a lacquerware workshop at home, and two samurai, and asked them to draw a comparison with Karl with wooden sticks, so that they could fight evenly and have their own winners and losers.

Not only the Japanese and Song officers and soldiers were useful, but even those Mongol officers Hong Tao were also useful, and as soon as he looked at their lap legs, Hong Tao knew that they were cavalry. Is cavalry useful to Hongtao? It's really useless for the time being, but it will be useful in the future, Hong Tao plans to bring war horses from the Arab side to Luzon to try if he can feed them, the eastern slopes are full of grassland, so it should not be a problem to raise a small number of horses. Is there anything more suitable for raising horses than for these Mongol cavalrymen? So Hong Tao and Cixi confessed privately, these people can teach a lesson, but they can't hurt their lives, let them endure hardships first, sharpen their temperament, and keep them useful later.

With these windfalls, Hong Tao was happy, and immediately promoted the two people under Cixi, and the two of them will build a separate courtyard to hold these skilled slaves, as the labor number in the prison, and go to work in a place that suits the nature of their work during the day, and return to the courtyard at night to live under surveillance, with a higher status than ordinary slaves, but lower than Cixi, which is equivalent to dividing the slave class into three, six, nine and so on.

In this way, it will be even more difficult for the slaves to unite again, they will hate each other, envy each other, and tear each other down, which is human nature. Once you see that others are better off than yourself, you will find a way to pull others back, and then forget the main contradictions.

Moreover, Hong Tao thought that the slaves were too idle in their brains, so he announced a simple promotion mechanism and announced it publicly. Slaves do not have to be slaves forever, and slaves can live their own lives. But this life is to be linked to personal contributions, and the lowest slave will lose all freedom, and will have nothing but work, food, and sleep; After a period of labor reform, slaves who perform well can choose to get married and have children in Jinhewan, and can enjoy the life of a normal person within a certain range, but they are still slaves, but their children can be separated from slavery; If any of these people have performed well or made meritorious contributions, they can officially be separated from slavery and become temporary residents of Jinhewan, but they have no political rights; At this time, you can also be promoted, and the last level is the official resident of Jinhewan, and the Tan family, the Turen craftsmen are at the same level, and even with Hong Tao is also a level, which can be regarded as a complete person.

Of course, this is just a very rudimentary rule, there are no detailed rules on how to evaluate and how to score their contributions, and there is no agency specifically responsible for these work, but Hong Tao's flickering still gave hope to most of the slaves, and their originally confused hearts shone brightly. People, as long as you have desires, it is easy to be manipulated by others, Hong Tao is not afraid of greedy people, he is afraid of people who have no desires, such people he sees one and kills another, and it is a disaster to keep them.
