Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty
"Damn, there are all communisms!" Hearing the word Said said, Hong Tao forgot to smoke a cigar and stared at Said for a long time with his small eyes.●⌒, his mind was always wondering whether to throw this old man into the sea. He looked like a time traveler. He would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
"Actually, His Majesty's country is also communist, but His Majesty does better than the Arab kings." Said saved himself after the next words. He could describe the Jinhe Kingdom as communism, Hong Tao decided to spare him first.
"The second caliph, Omer, also formed an Euler, which means negotiation. After his death, he stipulated that his son could not be succeeded, and the successor was elected by Euler. There was also Euler in His Majesty's empire, and it was larger and stronger than Euler's Euler and stronger. This is a good thing. Although Euler was the successor of the messenger of Allah, he made many mistakes in his life. He himself publicly admitted that the original intention of forming Euler was to reduce the chance of making mistakes in the successor Caliph. I learned a word in the Song Dynasty, called "The fireworks of everyone is high, and this word makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately the Song Dynasty, who invented this word, did not do this." But Sayed's words made Hong Tao start to grit his teeth again. He was so prescient in politics that he could see through this old guy. If this was passed on to Europe, someone would not follow it!
"The Jinhe Empire has a small population, developed industry and commerce, and has the convenience of the ocean. This is OK. But the Song Dynasty cannot be achieved, and your hometown cannot be achieved. If everything is discussed, it will inevitably reduce the efficiency of work and many things will be delayed. If there is a parliament, life will be more difficult than not without a parliament. This country cannot persist. What kind of system should a country adopt depends on the level of productivity of the country, and it is not a pity for someone to slap it.
Take the Song Dynasty as an example. The Song Dynasty has a population of tens of millions and its business is quite developed, but it is far from the level of the Jinhe Kingdom. If the Song Dynasty also did this, the people would starve to death, because the disaster-stricken areas last year were discussed and the results were not yet reached this year." In the end, Hong Tao decided to give the Yide a match. The Jinhe Kingdom system can be learned, but now no country in the world can replicate it. Imitation cannot be achieved. They do not have that high productivity because the technological level cannot keep up.
"How should Your Majesty think the Song Dynasty should be managed? If Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!" Sayed was a man who was even more silly than Hong Tao, especially on sociology and philosophy issues. He had endless questions and was even more quarrel than Hong Tao. He could quote classics and knew all the historical materials of BC.
"This question is too complicated, so why not do this. First tell me about the political structure of the Arab country, and then I will talk to you about the issues of the Song Dynasty..." Hong Tao would not be fooled. He would not do anything that he was unsure of. If he argued with Said, Hong Tao would not win. This old man was too compatible.
"After talking to you with me, I will talk to you about Arabia again. This is very fair and also in line with Your Majesty's principle of fair exchange." Learning bad things is always faster than learning. Sayed got on Hong Tao's ship from Europe to the time he followed Hong Tao to the Great Food Country. After staying for less than two months, he learned Hong Tao's petty businessman style and unique tricks.
"I think it's better for the Song Dynasty to retain its current state. It only needs a little change. Each road and each state can select a few representatives of other classes to form a political parliament. Use this parliament to check and balance the imperial power and the ministerial power, and have the right to evaluate and impeach officials of the state and the government. Of course, military power must be separated. This process will be very long. Sometimes, it may be more difficult to renovate a house than to demolish and build a new one. However, for the benefit of the people in the house, I think it's better to renovate it. OK. I'm finished, it's your turn!" It's useless to play with Hong Tao. You can only be more shameless than him to deal with shameless people. Unfortunately, Sayed can't do this.
"The Caliph was the successor of the prophet Mohammed and the actual ruler of the country. Just like Emperor William. He was also the protector of all Muslims, which was a bit like the pope. He had to protect Christians, while the Caliph had to protect Muslims. There was a little difference between Shiites. They used imams to call the highest authority in the denomination, but the Sunni Imam only refers to the host of the mosque, and it means the same as the Persian imam."
"These supreme leaders must defend *******'s faith and land, and if necessary, they can initiate jihads, appoint and remove state officials, collect taxes and manage religious donations. They can mention their names on the day of the gathering, print their names on coins, and wear prophet's cloaks and guard the prophet's relics." Although Sayed was very dissatisfied with Hong Tao's perfunctory behavior, he could only abide by the promise just now. Who made the other party an emperor? The emperor always had privileges.
"Under the caliph is Mahdi, who is a descendant of Fatima, the daughter of the prophet Mohammed. In this regard, the Shiites are different. They believe that the twelve Imams are the reincarnation of Mahdi. Your Majesty, if the two sects are constantly quarrel, is there any way to unify them?" As soon as he said a beginning, Said began to go off topic.
"I am not familiar with religion and am not interested. Let's continue to talk about the topic just now." Hong Tao's words were the truth. He really couldn't think of how to unify the Sunnis and Shiites. Even if there was a way, he wouldn't tell others. He was not a savior, so why should he work hard to transform others? What are the benefits of unified Islam to him? It is basically all harmful. It is only when it is divided into eight factions and is happy.
The fleet set off from Kalamba Port and drove west for ten days. The sea water became more and more turbid. Not only was the sea water turbid, but the sky in the distance was also yellow, and even the wind blew over was a bit thick. Before Alin and Said reminded, Hong Tao knew why this was, and the sandstorm was coming! Born in the north, he had seen similar weather when he was a child, but this time it was purer and more spectacular.
Can Hong Tao deal with sandstorms? The answer is no. When this thing comes, the lookout hand has to come down from the mast, and the visibility becomes zero, and the lookout fart is also seen. Fortunately, Hong Tao was first aware of it and ordered the sailing to be lowered when he saw that the situation was wrong. Otherwise, after the sandstorm passed, the fleet might be blown to where it would take, and it would take several days to regroup.
As for how Hong Tao had never been to this area, how could he make sure that the sandstorm was coming by looking at the color of the sea and the color of the sky? This question is different from one's own opinion. Most crew members and sea merchants habitually believe that Hong Tao had communicated with the gods in the sky again, and he must know what mortals don't know. Therefore, although everyone has never seen this natural phenomenon, they are not very panic. As long as Hong Tao is still in the fleet, they think they are safe.
There are also a few people, such as the captains of each ship. They have a lot of contact with Hong Tao, and their recognition of the claim that Hong Tao is a god is relatively low, because Hong Tao's usual performance is too far from God. If Gods were like this, the days would not be much better than that. Can a group of shameless messing sticks get together? They are more inclined to see Hong Tao in this regard in their original motherland. It is not his god, but his knowledge.
The last part of people, Alin and Said, regarded Hong Tao as the Great Ulima, the most knowledgeable person in the Arab world, who knew everything and was considered a knowledgeable semi-immortal.
In fact, Hong Tao not only knew that this was a sandstorm, but also knew that the fleet had arrived at the beach, so he didn't have to use a sextant and a moon distance meter. Not far ahead should be the Arabian Peninsula, otherwise the sandstorm would not be too far from the coast. At this time, Hong Tao suddenly liked the King of the Sea. It was not only the size of the cabin, but also the bright flat glass as windows. In bad weather, you can see the situation outside without opening the window. This structure is not only comfortable, but also greatly improves the safety of the ship. When other people's eyes are so hard that they cannot be opened by the wind and rain, they can hide behind the glass to see them clearly.
The sandstorm did not last long. In less than two days, the sun emerged again, and a large island appeared faintly on the port side. According to the signs and longitude data on the chart, this island should be Socotra Island, which exits the east of the Gulf of Aden. It is time to enter the Gulf of Aden when driving west. This is the blind spot of the Royal Navy, with neither navigation nor hydrological information, only some hearsays from the Dashi merchants and the rough memories in Hong Tao's mind.
"Compassionately, we will first send two sea wolf class ships to mount the banner of the Metini tribe, and advance while exploring, not seeking speed, we must explore comprehensively, we have a lot of time." Out of caution, Hong Tao asked the fleet to dock on the north side of Socotra Island, landed only one anchor, and then sent two exploration ships.
"If those ships are hostile to us, should they open fire first?" Ciqing originally followed Hong Tao to Dashiguo and thought it was just a tourist and made a contribution, but before he could get a place, he encountered a sandstorm, which was a small threat. This sandstorm not only allowed him to see the power of nature, but also cooled his throbbing heart. Finally, he realized that this voyage was not a trip, but a very dangerous journey of exploration.
"You can grasp this measure yourself. My principle is to protect your life and ship first. Everything else can be ignored. You are the commander of the fleet and have the right to make corresponding choices based on the situation." Hong Tao always regards compassion as a child, but this child is really not young. Next year, he will be one year old and twenty-five years old. In the age of fifteen, he will be a middle-aged man with an average lifespan of over thirty years old. He can no longer treat them in the way he treats children.
