Chapter 22: The Heart Comes to the Heart (Kailia Piaohong II)

"First, I don't care about production, you can do the sugar production workshop, and you can also care about the staff. I will only send someone to process the last process, and it must be kept confidential." Hong Tao stretched out a finger.

"Natural, natural!" Luo Youde nodded like pounding garlic. Even if Hong Tao didn't say it, he would not dare to make the formula for the time being. That milky white powder was simply a elixir for Luo Youde, and it was probably not so easy to get it.

"Second, I don't care how much you sell, and the shares are still calculated according to the original ones. What do you think?" Hong Tao stretched out his second finger.

"...Brother Hong Gao Yi!" Luo Youde hesitated for a moment, but he agreed quickly. In fact, since the moment he tasted the sugar, he had already started to calculate the various costs in his mind. Hong Tao gave him this share, and it was hard to find a lantern.

"Third, in every store, I will be assigned to the account management in the future. He will not interfere with your daily work, and you have no right to instruct him to work, but in name, he is the accountant in your store. As for how you keep your account, I don't care. You can just record it yourself. Every three months, we can just face each other." Hong Tao stretched out his third finger.

"It should be, it should be!" Although Luo Youde nodded, his eyes were a little confused. He didn't understand why Hong Tao had to get two accounting rooms. If he was not at ease with him, he could use one accounting room.

"Fourth, if I bring back a five-foot-high horse, you will say that you brought it, and then you will find a reliable person to present it to the government. You will discuss the specific operation by yourself. What I want is a place to raise horses. You can tell the court that you can not only get this kind of horse back, but also raise this kind of horses. Let the court arrange a place in Yazhou and appoint your people as the official position of raising horses, and specifically raise horses for the court. If the court asks why the horse farm is placed in Yazhou, you will say that this kind of horse likes heat and is not afraid of heat, and Yazhou is the most suitable." Hong Tao stretched out his fourth finger again.

Since he entered the courtyard, he didn't think about how much profit he should make on sugar, but was thinking about how to use horses to pave the way for his plan. It would be ideal if he could get an officially recognized base on Hainan Island. This would not only have a base closer to the Southern Song Dynasty, but also a reason to contribute to the court. As for whether it is useful or not, it is a later story. It's just a casual chess, just throw it away and use it when you are idle. Besides, help the Southern Song Dynasty court to maintain it. Besides, let's talk about it, help the Southern Song Dynasty court to maintain it.

Horses are not a loss of money, nor are they raised for nothing. They have to be sold to the court after they are raised. The Southern Song Dynasty court has always bought things from the people. The price has always been better, and generally does not do the government's forced purchases and sales. With this, it is very cute. At least it knows that it is a hundred times better than many governments. Moreover, there are high-quality iron ore and coal mines on Hainan Island. At that time, see if it can be built together, which can provide Jinhewan with a steady stream of ore, which is a good thing to win.

"Ah! Brother Hong really wants to offer his horse!" Luo Youde didn't nod this time.

"Yes! Although I am an overseas person, I am a Han Chinese. I hope to help the court fight the Jin Dynasty away and take back the Han Chinese territory. In addition, I don't want my ancestors to live in. If that happens, I can't go back and see it." Hong Tao's lies have been compiled long ago. As for whether Beijing is the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, he doesn't know, so he doesn't care.

"Brother Hong Gao Yi! Let me be ashamed, please give me a bow to you!" Luo Youde made Hong Tao stunned. After a long time of his life, he suddenly stood up again and bowed deeply to Hong Tao. His face turned red before he raised his body.

"I have no choice but to do this! I just don't know why Brother Hong didn't offer his horse to the official family. If the official family knew Brother Hong's original intention, they might have praised him." After getting up, Luo Youde agreed to Hong Tao's fourth request, but there were still questions.

"Oh... Lao Luo, I'm afraid you can see that I'm not used to the life of the Song Dynasty. Whenever I see those literati who don't do serious things all day long, I'll talk, even the ancestral graves are occupied by the northerners, and I'm still clamoring for the Northern Expedition here, but I'm not willing to join the army to serve, I want to beat them up. So I'd better not show up in the court. I'm afraid that if I'm anxious, I'll kill people, but will cause trouble. What do you think?" Hong Tao's words were actually the truth. He told the Song Dynasty.

Many systems of the dynasty, especially the humanities, were very disgusted with the feminine customs of the Song Dynasty, especially those literati who like to make noise. Many policies were right, but many thoughts were wrong again, and they were a group of people who loved to hate. Moreover, you were irrational to them. They had a lot of words waiting for you. If you really couldn't say you, you would throw sewage on you and then bombard you to the frontier to drink wind and fish.

"Oh... my brothers are as Brother Hong said, and I am helpless to be my brother..." Hong Tao said this to Luo Youde's heart. Although he is also a scholar and has some fame, he has no problem because he has been walking on the sea for many years. He can't stand the style of many literati. But there is no way. Literature is the backbone of the Song Dynasty, and no one can play with it.

"Fifth," Hong Tao did not sigh with Luo Youde, he still had the important things to finish.

"Ah, there is also!" Luo Youde didn't expect that Hong Tao would have any requests.

"Hahaha, Brother Luo, don't panic. This requirement is not difficult. I need 10,000 kilograms of sugar to exchange for horses. I'm ready within two months. Isn't it difficult?" Hong Tao also made Luo Youde's expression amused, but he still opened his five fingers and put them in front of Luo Youde, waiting for him to sniff. He has been in the Song Dynasty for several years, and Hong Tao is a little used to this way of signing contracts anytime and anywhere. As long as he sniffs, even if he signs and stamps, it's very worry-free.

"Bang! That's right, uncle, can you drink hard?" Luo Youde slapped Hong Tao in the hand and turned his head to ask Luo Dacai to arrange a banquet. This event is worth celebrating.

"Uncle, wait a moment, I think I won't eat or drink. Let's have some fresh ones. How about going on a big boat to go around?" Hong Tao was not interested in eating, and he could not beat the Song people. It was not easy to let them drink rice wine like a rat. It would be better to play something else.

"It's just my wish! I originally wanted to mention it to Brother Hong, but I was afraid of touching Brother Hong's secrets, haha..." Luo Youde immediately stood up. He had been thinking about Hong Tao's sailing ship for a long time, but he was embarrassed to say it.

After sitting in the yard for a few hours, the three of them strolled back to the dock and took a boat to row the berth outside the port. Luo Youde was very curious about big sailboats like Hong Tao. After getting on the boat, he drifted around and looked at everything. Hong Tao didn't restrict him. He looked at whatever he wanted and told him whatever he asked. There was only one thing Hong Tao didn't tell the truth, it was the grenades and slingshots. He only said that this was the equipment used to hunt whales.

Luo Youde couldn't understand these two large sailing ships, and he didn't understand why many things were designed. But when the sailing ship started, he was extremely envious and jealous. He was both experts and he didn't have to go too far to know that the ship was a good ship. However, Luo Youde also said that he would not want to give him such a ship for nothing. Unless he gave it to him with the sailors, no one could control it and could only put it in the port to watch.

This is an expert saying. European-style horizontal sailing warships and Chinese hard sailing ships are very different. If no one teaches them, it takes a long time to practice them by themselves to master their performance. How to lift and lower the sails alone is enough for dozens of people to learn for half a year. This set of things was not figured out by Hong Tao himself. He stepped on the shoulders of his predecessors and seemed clever. Many of these things are technology after the 21st century. Even if Nelson is called, he will not be able to play with them for a while, because he has never seen them. This whole set of things was slowly summarized by generations or even dozens of generations, and is not the achievement of someone.

"Is this a chart?!" He turned all the places on the boat, and finally Hong Tao brought their nephew and uncle to his captain's room, let them sit on the earthen sofa, and personally squeezed a glass of juice for them with a simple juicer. Luo Youde was not seasick, but he was a little dizzy. He simply stood up and saw the chart on Hong Tao's desk.

"Well, I have only drawn the Three Buddhas at the moment. Although I have hidden the secret things, I can see the rest!" Hong Tao never threw the real chart on the table and left. If he sailed according to this chart, he would probably drive to Antarctica in the end, because there was no Java, Sulawesi, New Guinea Islands and Australia on it, and the south was empty.

"The divine horses that Brother Hong mentioned are not in these places?" Luo Youde also had a chart in his mind. While looking at Hong Tao and comparing them with his mind, he quickly confirmed that the chart was incomplete, because he had been to these places and had never heard of local horses.

"When Brother Luo prepares the sugar, I plan to do a real voyage of thousands of miles? Maybe he wants to go to the Great Seal Country or further away. This time it is exploring the route, which is more dangerous, so I will not invite Brother Luo and me to go with him. If I can't come back, I will ask Brother Luo to take care of those sacred families for the sake of our relationship for a few years, that is, to help them purchase goods." Hong Tao had long wanted to explore the Indian Ocean. His goal was the Arabian Sea, but he didn't want to go empty-handed and beat rabbits. He had to bring some goods to the cost. Sugar, whale oil, soap, and candles were his first batch of pathfinding stones. (To be continued.)
