"It's so scary. The man surnamed Jin and I met in Mingzhou. He traveled four at home, Jin4, Jin4, and it's almost Jinzi. Before His Majesty bombarded Jinzhou, he transported grain to the north and said he was going to Goryeo. In fact, he had a lot of sex with the Mongols. Unexpectedly, this guy is so brave that he dared to harm the empire. He was really blind. His Majesty also understood the purpose of doing this, and the effect was indeed good. Even if someone was still trying to make the empire, they had to consider it more after this. But just for these villains, His Majesty blamed himself. Is it too worth it?" Although Xu Liangzhi was not very clear about the law of the empire, he was not stupid. He was a normal person. He could know what Hong Tao's purpose was. The difference was only a question of whether it was worth it.

"It's not worth it in front of you, but it's worth it in the long run. Old Xu, you've been out all year round, and you must not make such mistakes because of temporary greed. The two brothers of Ci are so bad, I can guarantee that their wealth is unhindered because they have made contributions to the country. If you want the Xu family to prosper in the empire and prosper for generations, don't just look at it for a while, and look further away." He and Xu Liangzhi couldn't understand their intentions for a while, and Hong Tao was not interested in becoming a teacher for others. He is not a fool, he just needs to tell him that the consequences are serious. As for whether he believes it or not, look at himself.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Old Xu is not a fool, and the Xu family lives in the empire, not those wild guys. Your Majesty, when we reach Jinhekou, which line will we take?" Xu Liangzhi seemed to understand and made a guarantee.

"This is a chart, for the navigator, ask me where I don't understand. By the way, how are your Xu family sailors? This trip is a long voyage, and we are just a cargo ship, and the seas to the south are not stable. After more than ten years of war on Jawa Island, many people have gone into sea to become pirates. If you are not sure, don't force yourself. The same is true for us in Malacca." Hong Tao took out a chart from his pocket and handed it to Xu Liangzhi. This is the reward for using the Xu family boat, a new route map from Jinhewan to Cape Town Port.

"Hehe, your majesty, don't worry, there are more pirates in Japan, in groups, but after seeing the banner of the Xu family, they all ran far away. What they feared was not the banner of the Xu family, but my big white ship. Except for my son, all the water on this boat were Japanese sailors, and they were all starving ghosts I picked up from all over Japan. Don't be small, but obedient, not afraid of death. As long as they control their family, they can do whatever they do." Xu Liangzhi is also a white-bearded old man, but his courage is as great as before, and he dares to say anything when facing Emperor Hong.

"As long as others don't mess with us, I don't have to do anything. I don't have any valuable things on me. The emperor has been in vain for so many years." Hong Tao really didn't bring anything, only the small suitcase in Senya's hand. It was not gold, silver and fine softness, but the global marine hydrological information collected by Hong Tao over the years, and some notebooks with some memory fragments in his mind written on it. If it is valued, this small box is more valuable than the entire Jinhe Kingdom. The Jinhe Kingdom is gone, and one can be rebuilt quickly with the things in this box. If this box is gone, then nothing will be gone.

"Hehe... Your Majesty is deliberately disgusting me. Only ordinary people like me need to work hard to make money. The tobacco made by General Ci has been sold to Japan. The generals there like this medicinal material very much and can be sold after it is transported." Xu Liangzhi would not believe Hong Tao's words of crying poor. A large part of the products of the Chinese Tobacco Company were sold to Japan, Goryeo, Mongolia and the northern part of the Southern Song Dynasty through the Xu family. Although the quantity is not very large, it cannot stand the unit price is expensive. Moreover, the annual output has steadily increased. After a little calculation, you will know how much money the royal family can make. As for whether this company is related to Emperor Hong, Xu Liangzhi feels that it is very brainless to ask this question. No one has seen the tobacco thing, let alone where it comes from. This kind of thing was made by Emperor Hong, and there is no other semicolon.

"Does the Japanese have money to buy such expensive things?" Hong Tao is not very concerned about the sales of tobacco. The longer this kind of thing becomes, the greater the popularity. Humans will be unable to help but use anything that is addictive. This is also a weakness of human nature. However, the place in Japan is too poor, so poor that he can't even raise the interest in colonization. It seems a bit inappropriate to go there to sell luxury goods.

"The Chief of Ci said that if there is gold and silver, you can collect gold and silver. If there is no gold and silver, you can pay the bill. The local girls are very capable of working, much more diligent than the slaves where he is, and the price is cheaper. I have asked other maritime merchants to transport people to Kalamba Port four times. If I have enough ships, I will find a boat to take it back by myself." In the eyes of a qualified businessman, there is nothing worthless in the world, it is just that the price is different from the region. Cixi is very capable in this regard. Although she has been in charge of the position of Minister of Supervision for so many years, although she cannot make him a businessman, she can make him familiar with the customs and customs of various regions and countries, and any goods in various places, and specialties cannot be hidden from him.

"Oh? Are there any of these Japanese women more smooth and beautiful?" He was listless just now, but when he heard that Cixi had bought many Japanese girls, Hong Tao's eyes lit up again.

"...uh...it doesn't seem to be none. They are black and thin, with short legs and short ones. They will definitely not be able to see you." Xu Liangzhi didn't expect Hong Tao to ask such questions so directly. Moreover, Senya and Sefei were in the cabin, so it was a bit inappropriate to speak softly.

"I think it's the same...you go and do it. I'll sleep for a while and call me during dinner." Hong Tao was obviously disappointed with Xu Liangzhi's answer. If he didn't become an emperor, he would no longer have to serve as a facade for the empire. He felt that life was the most comfortable, but unfortunately, the quality of girls in this era was not very good, and he lacked a kind of fun.

If the Xu family's ship wants to fly directly to Cape Town Port, they must first go to Brunei Port for supply. Merchant ships are different from warships. Generally, they do not bring too many supplies, and they will not take long-distance direct flights unless necessary. Each port is a vault for them. Even if they don't buy and sell goods, they stop at the middle and go ashore to inquire about the market. Maybe they will encounter a business opportunity.

When the Xu family's merchant ship entered Brunei Port, it was more than three days later. Hong Tao did not mind the ship being slow. No matter how capable the merchant sailors were, they were not as powerful as the navy on the warships. There was no problem with sailing at full speed in a short time, and they would definitely not be able to bear it for a long time.

"You take your children to the temple to take a walk. There are many murals there, which are quite good. I won't get off the boat. This face is too conspicuous. If I find out that I'm coming, their king and monk will have to make trouble again." Senya is not very used to long sailings. She hasn't gone out of the sea many years and is a little seasick. Letting them and their mother get off the boat and take a walk can relieve the symptoms. When they are really uncomfortable, they are still behind. I hope she won't react too much. No one can do anything about this thing.

"Your Majesty... Oh yes, it's the boss. I'm old and I love to forget things!" Before Sefei could take his mother out, he knocked on the hatch door a few times, and then Xu Liangzhi came in.

"What's wrong?" Xu Liangzhi was obviously looking for him for something, and his expression on his face was a little nervous. Hong Tao didn't move at first, and only after Senya and his son went out, he signaled that he could say it.

"This is a bit strange. I heard from my boss that someone is peeping at our ship with a telescope. My old eyes are a little dazed and I can't get it right, so I came to see you. It's not supposed to be the case. The Xu family's ship never goes to Southeast Asia, and there shouldn't be any acquaintances here. Even if our ship has different colors and is so close, we shouldn't use a telescope to check it. What do you think?"

"Which boat? Show me!" Xu Liangzhi's words made Hong Tao immediately alert. No matter what the other party is from, this is not a good sign. If you want to target a sea boat, the port is an easy place. Once you get to the sea, it is difficult to bite a sea boat unless you have an absolutely fast speed. Unless you know where the other party is going and which route to take, this information usually needs to be found out at the port, which is also a common method for pirates.

"Apart from the four or five berths on the port side, I think it looks like an empire's whaling ship, but there is no whaling equipment on the ship." Xu Liangzhi walked to the porthole and pointed at a ship on the sea in the distance, reaching out to open the window.

"Don't open... The glass window will reflect. Let me see who is thinking about us." Hong Tao reached out to stop Xu Liangzhi's movement, took a step back, raised his telescope, and looked at the ship through the porthole.

"These two bad guys, I thought I wouldn't recognize you if I put on the hat! Lao Xu sent someone over to tell the boat that one with the surname Qi and the other with the surname Wen, and let them come over." After a glance, Hong Tao knew who was on the boat. The thin man hiding behind the mast holding a telescope was Wen Xiaoqi, and Qi Zu was hiding behind the rudder platform. They were both playing with steel and shipbuilding masters, but when the spy's skills were too far away, they were not even qualified for a naval watcher, and they didn't know that they had to cover the telescope when facing the sun.

"Do you know me? Why don't I have someone over and get them quietly?" Xu Liangzhi's tone at this time made Hong Tao think of Cixi in the past few years. Not only did she have a similar tone, but her expression was a bit similar.

"No, I know them, and there should be no malice. As soon as Sefei and his son showed up, I couldn't hide it anymore. Go and call them to come." Hong Tao was not worried that Qi Zu and Wen Xiaoqi would be unfavorable to him. From the day they announced their abdication in court, these two people tried their best to meet him. The only purpose was that they wanted to follow him. Although they didn't see themselves in the end, and they didn't get their promises, they still came. Sometimes people who are skilled are more courageous, or have simpler thoughts and think too little.
