It is possible for the Li women to change the weaving process and make a better canvas, but there is no hope in the short term. I don't know much about the textile industry, and I don't know anything about how the canvases were woven in later generations and what weaving techniques were used. This problem can only be raised by oneself, and then provide enough raw materials and funds for the Li women, so that they can study and transform the weaving process by themselves, and slowly progress in the direction they need. How long is the process? God knows, maybe the eldest sister will solve it in two months if she pats her head, and maybe all the eldest sisters won't be able to solve it in two years if they don't pat their heads.

At present, the only solution is to replace the Li cloth with whale skin, the whale skin is still very strong after processing and layering process, the thickness can be selected, the weight is much lighter than the Li cloth, and the air tightness is much better than that of the Li cloth. The most important thing is that the whale skin is not very absorbent, and it will not double the weight as soon as it gets wet, like Li Bu, and if the strength of the corners is solved, it should be a good canvas.

However, whale skin also has disadvantages, its extensibility is greater than that of, and its durability is not as high as, and it is easy to crack after a long time of wind and sun. But these two shortcomings Hong Tao has a way to overcome, and the extensibility can be limited by adding diagonal ribs, and the durability is ...... Also consider the durability of the wool, and replace it if you think it is going to be broken! As long as the whaling industry develops, there will be no worries about the availability of whale skins. It's a bit of a waste, but at present, too much whale skin is useless to keep, and the Great Song Dynasty people are not popular to wear leather clothes and leather pants, as for whether whale skin is suitable for leather armor, Hong Tao is not clear.

Bo Jiao and Carl made mistakes along the way, and if Hong Tao hadn't checked the angle values they measured back every time, the ship would have allowed them to navigate to Australia. Hong Tao is helpless about this result, and it is unrealistic for you to ask a person who has not even learned geometry in junior high school to suddenly understand trigonometric functions. It is also very immoral for you to let a person who has no specific concept of the earth and the starry sky play with the star map. So, ah, it's still a lack of practice, if you don't achieve ten times at a time, if you don't achieve a hundred times at a time, sooner or later they will succeed.

When the shadows of the two small islands of East and West Maozhou appeared on the sea level, the two incompetent navigators and captains, Bo Jiao and Carl, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time had a strong sense of accomplishment. No matter how many mistakes you make along the way, but after a voyage of thousands of miles, you actually came back like this, and you can be a captain as a fishing boy and a boating slave, hahahahahaha, who is going to reason with this.

At this time, their eyes when they looked at Hong Tao were different from before they set off, at that time Hong Tao was just a capable person in their hearts, and the concept was very vague. Now Hong Tao is already a role model and hero in their hearts, and every word and deed will become their guideline. The word mistake has completely left Hong Tao, even if Hong Tao is really wrong, they are not allowed to admit it, that would be tantamount to their own mistake.

Just like every time I came back from the sea, when the black sail appeared on the sea, the first person on Ximao Island to find it roared, and then all the people on the island rushed to the dock, their relatives came back, whether they brought back the catch or not, it was a happy thing that people could come back. Bo Zhu is the most excited one, before the boat docked, Hong Tao heard her loud voice, even Bo Fu was reluctant to get close to his daughter, it was too noisy.

"Don't cry, I should laugh when I come back, even a stupid person like Luo Daguan can finish such a short distance, can I still lose it?" She is still a new daughter-in-law, although she is often bullied when she is held by Hong Tao, but a man who is no longer a thing is also his own man, and Hong Tao does not feel ashamed of her. Shedding tears for her husband's happiness is better than the brain-dead fans who went to the airport to cry and wipe their tears to welcome their idols in later generations, every time he saw that kind of scene, Hong Tao wanted to go over and pull a question: Your father is dead, can you cry so sensationally?

"There was a big storm two days ago, and two more boats from the Tan family in Zhenzhou Port did not come back...... "Although Bo Zhu is very arrogant and straightforward, it is still very awkward to be picked up by Hong Tao in public. But she couldn't break free of the man's iron hoop-like arms, so she could only hide her head behind the man's neck and explain in a low voice.

"Your man is not an ordinary fisherman, he can catch sharks, he can also catch whales, he can catch the most powerful things in the sea, a small storm is a fart! Go home and make me some hot water, I'm sticky! Hong Tao threw Bo Zhu up and caught it like a child, then put it on the ground, turned her body around her shoulders, and gave it to her buttocks.

"Ya ......" Bo Zhu is like a car that has stepped on the accelerator, as soon as his head is lowered, he runs away from the dock with his legs, and he has no face to see people.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandfather! Grandfather! I'm going to build a big boat, I'm going to build a big boat! I've learned everything my uncle taught! Bo Jiao and Carl didn't dare to get off the ship with Hong Tao, packing up the sails, emptying the cabin, checking the cables, and scrubbing the deck were the first tasks after the ship docked, and they couldn't get off the ship if they couldn't finish it. However, the young man didn't have an overnight fart, and if he didn't show off his academic performance with his family and relatives immediately, it would suffocate him, so he had to shout twice when he took the opportunity to carry the water tank under the boat.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Hehe...... "Bo Xiaoer, the meat head, listened to his son's results, he could only smirk, and he couldn't say a whole sentence."

"Good boy, grandpa will give you a sea dragon wine at night!" Bo Fu is much stronger than Bo Xiaoer, and he knows how to encourage his grandson, as for whether his grandson can really drive a boat, the old man doesn't believe it.

"Grandpa, are you okay at home?" Hong Tao didn't care how tired Bo Jiao and Carl were, the crew should have worked, and it would be blind to expect that he, the captain, would share the weal and woe with them. While greeting the people on the dock, he pulled Chen Mingen to the shore, and asked about the situation on the island for more than ten days by the way.

"It's all good, it's all good, it's just that the housekeeper of the big official Luo always complained to me that the stock of sesame oil was not enough, and he said that the sea ship of the big official would come once in two days and pull away the rest of the sesame oil, and then it was gone." Chen Mingen doesn't row much to go out to sea to fish now, and unless Bo Fufei pulls him, he prefers to sit in the yard on the shore and read. Since he started teaching the children, this old man has changed his identity back to the reader's side, and he has a bit of wisdom in everything, and only in front of Hong Tao did he return to his original state.

"Well, it's time to get down to business, I'll go to Zhenzhou City tomorrow, and then I'll go to sea when I'm ready. You confessed to that Luo Dacai, and said that he should prepare more oil cans and get two more big pottery urns on the island, and the whale caught this time may be much bigger than the previous one. Hong Tao understands Chen Mingen's mood very well, a person who reads and writes has been suppressed for most of his life, not only can he not continue his studies, but he has to slip away when he walks into the city, and this self-esteem needs to be restored.

"It's better to wait for the new ship to be built before going, the boss of the Wen family has already gone to the Li people to buy bigger and longer wood, our food stock is enough to eat the new ship, and when the time comes, there will be two ships to take care of each other, and you will let me rest assured when you go out." Chen Mingen really regarded Hong Tao as his son, for fear that something would happen to him, how to think about insurance.

"It's okay, I still have to hurry up and teach Ah Jiao and them, otherwise even if there are two ships, who will drive the other one? We can't just drag one by one. You can help me keep an eye on those children at home, by the way, I still have something serious to discuss with you, I want to recruit more children from the Tan family, so that they can read and read together with Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao, but I don't know if the other Tan family members will agree. You said that if I took care of these children's meals, would their parents be willing to let the children go to the island? When Hong Tao came back from this voyage, he had basically determined his own development route and direction, and now he is about to start laying the foundation. He can get technology and money, the only thing he lacks is people, not adults like Bo Fu and Bo Xiaoer, who have already set their minds, and at the very least, they have to be young people in their 20s and hope for transformation. The best is the children who have just been able to take care of themselves, they are the blank slate, the easiest to accept their own thoughts, the easiest to be controlled by themselves, and the most motivated.

"Rice! Teaching their children to read and write requires us to take care of the food, there is no such reason! No, I don't agree, let's not restrain 脩 (xiu) is already considered a kindness, which dynasty and generation have never heard of Mr. still sticking upside down, can't break this rule. You listen to me about this matter, I'll handle it for you, whoever doesn't come is their family is not blessed, hum! Chen Mingen has no objection to Hong Tao's plan to expand the island's schools, but he is firmly opposed to Hong Tao posting money to recruit students. In his opinion, Mr. Teaching is a sacred job, since it is sacred, it is expensive, and it should be, and now it is already very cheap if you don't charge money, how can you still post it upside down.

"Okay, just listen to you, don't have too many, more than ten are fine, and our small room can't fit more." By the way, don't just pick boys, girls too, with girls who can read and write, the production of sesame oil will be much faster in the future. Hong Tao didn't argue with Chen Mingen on this issue, anyway, the school space is limited, and it is troublesome for more children to come, but he just made a small request on the gender of the student, which has to be endorsed by the output of sesame oil, and Chen Mingen reluctantly agreed.
