Chapter 404

: The wind pulls the white sail tightly

When farewell, people always feel silent and sad. Whether it is Zhao Fubo or Gong Zi, it is the case when Martin is about to leave in the afternoon.

"Fu Bo, there is another thing I want you to think about it carefully and answer me when you arrive at Socotra in the future. We... we must have a name. Although it is not a country, we must have a name known and recognized by the Song people.

You should know that they are not people here, and we are here, so we naturally have to take care of the emotions of people here, so you need to think about it carefully!”

Zhao Fubo knew that Martin would not let his head free so easily. Before he left, he had already assigned him the task to him later.

"But what are our names? No matter whether it is Ferai, Datubu Island, or Aden, are not a loud title."

This is really a difficult problem. Even if the Han people in the future understand it, they must also like it at this moment, which is enough for Zhao Fubo to worry about it!

Martin and Yao Zhilin were riding a whale-class ship that had just transported the cargo. At this time, it had re-ejaculated a large area of ​​soft white sails.

Now, the manufacturing industry on the Island of Ferai has begun to develop greatly under the urging of mature technologies. Correspondingly, the entire province of Cote and the Bosaro have entered a state of labor shortage.

The factories on the Isle of Ferai only need slaves, and those who have lost their most basic status as humans will be completely changed through incentive mechanisms. When they become humans again, they will understand the difference between faith and law. For the Isle of Ferai, that is, people who can be gradually reused.

The nearby provinces lack slaves, so they had to use civilians to supplement their jobs, which would increase the expenses of various nearby provinces, but the people on the Island of Ferai do not care about this. Because they themselves have a labor shortage, the Socotra Island under construction is simply a bottomless pit for workers.

But everyone has great hope for it, money, slaves, and talents, and everything is constantly investing in it.

Just like Zhao Fubo, he felt that he could not bear to leave Teacher Martin. Looking at the white soft sails rolling under the breeze, he even wanted to catch up. But he knew that Socotra Island was their real future.

What he did was just to explore trade routes. But without the cities and factories of Socotra, these trade routes would become ridiculous decorations in the future.

Unlike Zhao Fubo's reluctance, Gong Zi's reluctance was even more. Because when the news from the Aden province came to Cairo, Zhao Fubo had to take Juliana to Alexandria, and Carlos also wanted to take his daughter Sophia back to Damietta City. Although this required the pearl branch of Xie Jielai Duer in the palace to send the news, I believe that for her own future, I would do this very well.

Gong Zi had to stay in Cairo, and he had to pay attention to the process of the "road" from Suez to Cairo. And I heard that because of the efforts of Pearl Sprig, Xie Jielai Duer and the leading minister Izdin Aibek, Egypt (green and food and clothing) would send tens of thousands of slaves to work.

The reason why Gong Zi was unable to go to Alexandria was because of these slaves. If the operation was done properly, in the future, the slaves of the Prince Azam and Prince Tulansha would be Zhao Fubo.

"Hmph, I believe that Sophia will stay in Damietta. Who doesn't know the heart of Governor Carlos!"

Gong Zi watched the ship Martin and Yao Zhilin travel far away, and turned around and looked at Sophia quietly with a wink, doubting Carlos's thoughts. At this moment, Juliana and Sophia, like Zhao Fubo, covered them tightly. If they didn't tell them from their faces, they would probably not be able to tell whether they were men or women.

Seeing them approaching Zhao Fubo, Gong Zi touched the other hand with the fingers on the big finger with seven orifices and delicate hearts. The ruby ​​had hollow patterns made of gold on the outside. If you count them carefully, there were really seven orifices.

When he touched his fingertip, Gong Zi's heart suddenly became sweet. He no longer cared about other things, but began to think about how to keep the hearts of these tens of thousands of slaves firmly beside Zhao Fubo.

Although these people are useless today, it doesn’t matter if they cut off their heads at any time. But when they are baptized by the incentive mechanism and when they go from slaves to civilians to soldiers, the power of these people will be completely released.

Martin, Yao Zhilin, Zhao Fubo and his group rushed to Cairo again. Before leaving, he issued an order to Aden, asking Muke to lead the army to Cairo. After all, this was the request of the pearl branch Xie Jielai Duer. If he didn't show his strength, nothing could be said.

At this moment, after two months of training and renovation of Zhao Fubo left, the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty increased to 1,500 people, and the Arab army selected an elite legion of 3,500 people, becoming the first legion under Zhao Fubo.

For the time being, this is also the largest number of troops under Zhao Fubo. Although we have obtained a lot of Mamluk cavalry under the city of Aden, it is not so easy to ask these people to give up what they have believed in since childhood.

Therefore, among the 1,500 people of the Yulin Army in the Song Dynasty, in addition to some slaves from the Crusaders, there were also adult soldiers on the island of Ferai. Compared with the slaves who were converted, they were more loyal to this. Compared with the island owner of the outside world, Zhao Fubo, who is undoubtedly the sky.

In addition, these troops were also equipped with "Ming Zi Fire Rain", "Muk missiles" and "Flying Swallow Crossbow". They were all four wheels and chariots, and could be easily dragged with several horses and kept up with the actions of the cavalry.

In addition, Aden has opened a new shipyard, and the main ship type is commercially used whale-class sailing ships. The shipyards on the Island of Ferai have been completely converted to warship manufacturing. After all, compared with the places they are now involved, their ships are still too few.

Just imagine, the activities of the commercial stations are along the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea have reached the entire Arab region. Even Pu Jinshu's behavior of returning to the Song Dynasty can be regarded as the construction of intercontinental trade routes. Then, as the fastest and largest transportation vehicle means of transportation in this era, ships have naturally become the top priority in development.

Of course, the real development of intercontinental transportation also requires the construction of terminals in the Dasong sea area. The service of relay commercial stations is required, and the construction of commercial stations in the Mediterranean is required. Not to mention what is done, just thinking is enough for people to have a headache.

But before Zhao Fubo could finish his headache, Gong Zi quietly said something to his ear.
