"These ports, these countries, are the capital of our confrontation with Mongolia, as long as they control the sea, whether they want to or not, they have to be our colonies, take them and take them, and they have no power to fight back. There will be more and more such countries with the opening of shipping routes, and no matter how strong Mongolia is, it will not be able to compete with the whole world, which is why I believe that the theory that can defeat it in the end is still the same. Let's see, how is this better than Guangzhou? "If Malacca, Penang and Phuket are just new commercial ports that are thriving, then Kabalan is a commercial Palembang like Canton City. When Hong Tao came here again after more than two years, even he, the founder, had to sigh at the greatness of mankind, the original small port has disappeared, and the Kabalan presented in front of him is like the Hong Kong of later generations, the shore is crowded, the sea is thousands of miles, the cargo throughput is no longer comparable to the Port of Malacca, and even the Port of Guangzhou is not too much.

"Brother Hong is really worthy of being a fairy, I only heard my uncle and the maritime merchants say that this place is lively, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous...... There are still so many monks, can it be said that the temple also does business! "Luo Youde is the first time to come to Kabalan, although he is used to seeing big scenes, he still let the prosperity of Kabalan to suppress, not to mention those big cannibals from the Arabian Peninsula, just the Indian Peninsula monk purchasing group, let him feel eye-opening.

"The monks have to eat and clothe, too! Everyone here actually has the same surname, does Brother Luo know what their surname is? "Hong Tao has seen monks from the Indian peninsula, whose purchasing power is second only to that of the royal family of the Great Food Country in Kabalan, and the demand for candles, silk, and books is staggering.

"It's all the same surname? It won't all be surnamed Pu! Luo Youde didn't react, thinking that Hong Tao was really asking for his surname.

"They're all surnamed Leigh! The benefits of interest! Sima Qian said. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. There is no interest. If you go and beg them, they will not come. Now you rush out with a knife, and they will try their best to get in, and that's the power of profit. Don't underestimate the profession of businessman, there are only two kinds of people in the world who are the richest and most creative, one is a businessman and the other is a politician, and the scientist who invented objects could not have invented anything without their help. So Lao Luo, you are one of the most creative people in the world. Be proud, hey, hey, hey, hey...... "Talking about big truths is often tiresome, but there is an exception, that is, when others have some understanding, you can extend it more deeply, and he will not be annoyed." Luo Youde is now on the verge of an epiphany, Hong Tao hurriedly showed him the way again, so that he could open his mind more, and after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, he could take the initiative to do many things. You don't have to follow behind me anymore.

The Port of Malacca can not be stopped, but the Port of Kabalan cannot be inaccessible. This is the last supply port to enter the windless zone, and it is necessary to dock here to reach the Port of Cape Town safely. Although it was more prosperous than the port of Malacca, the Jinhe and Qiongzhou were not disturbed at all when they entered the port, because Bo Jiao and his father-in-law made a warship dock in the north of the port, which was specially used for the Jinhewan warships that came to patrol here every year to dock, and the Zhenzhou and another newly sent warship that usually berthed here also stopped here.

"Hey, Brother Luo, do you still recognize it? Which prince is this, come, come, come, Hong Salamander, salute my cousin, he is much richer than your father and me, and we don't want much else, just the ruby on his hat! "The port of Cabaran is not only a trading port, but also a bridgehead in the Golden River Bay system, so it is very well guarded. The Jinhe was still more than ten nautical miles away, and the sentries on the watchtower found it with binoculars, and then the drums and trumpets sounded in the imperial city, and Prince Taba drove to the dock with his family, courtiers, and escorts to welcome Chairman Hong. And Bo Jiao took a small boat to meet his husband and uncle on the battleship, he knew this uncle's temper very well, and he didn't dare to make the decision if he didn't go ashore.

"Hey, hey, hey...... To give! The hat belongs to my cousin, or my uncle will give birth, and my cousin looks much better than my daughter...... "Bo Jiao is no longer a young man, but an adult, with a beard on his lips and chin, and he can't tell how much smaller he is than Hong Tao when he stands with Hong Tao." But the eloquence still did not grow.

"Your uncle and I don't have that ability, so let's go home and tell your aunt to go this cheap way. For the sake of this gem, your uncle is also generous today, and I will come to you with a big welcome, and by the way, take a look at my two twin nephews and grandnieces, and lead the way! "If you want to say who is the most assured, Hong Tao's first choice is Cixi, then Bo Jiao and Carl, and even Luo Youde has to be in the back row. At present, the port of Kabalan should be safe, Prince Taba and himself are allies of interests, killing himself is not half a penny good for him, and he is happy to be alive, so Hong Tao decided to take Hong Salamander and Jiang Zhuyi to go ashore to go around, and by the way, go to Prince Taba's palace to see, after three lifetimes, he really hasn't seen what the palace is like.

"Uncle, who is she?" Bo Jiao was really happy when he heard that his uncle was willing to give face to the shore and went to his own house, this is an invisible trust, and even his status in Kabalan has improved, who has ever seen this Chairman Hong go to someone else's house when he is abroad? Not to mention the prince, even if the prince and his father come to invite, it will still be no fun. But happy to be happy, Bo Jiao was very curious about Jiang Zhuyi's identity, she didn't want to be an officer or sailor on the ship, but Hong Tao still took her with her.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, this is Jiang Zuotou, who specializes in making and selling high-end perfumes. By the way, when I arrived in the palace for a while, I will first give Jiang Niangzi's Bamboo Leaf Green Brand Perfume, this is my gift, hehehe...... "Hong Tao must not tell Bo Jiaoming that this is his lover, after all, Bo Jiao is Bo Zhu's nephew, so Zhu Ye Qing brand perfume began to move towards the world's famous brand, with Hong Tao's personal recommendation, in the future, Prince Taba's palace can only and must use the Bamboo Leaf Green brand perfume imported from the Great Song Kingdom, which can be regarded as unintentionally inserting willows into the shade.

"Little Wang Taba, long live the honorable Chairman Hong! Banzai! Wan ...... "As soon as Hong Tao's feet touched the ground of the dock, Prince Taba, who was like Black Meat Mountain, lay on the ground with a large group of people, it was really a five-body throw, and it was still Chinese.

"Oops...... The latter sentence will be exempted, and you will become a king after 10,000 years. Come, come, get up, get up! Your Chinese is good, did you learn it from Bojiao? The previous set of Hong Tao was reluctant to bear, and the last sentence was really unbearable. I am still alive, and the statue has already been burned and worshipped, and now with the long live of the mountain, I can't toss it so hard. However, Prince Taba, his family, and subordinates are very good at Chinese, and Hong Tao thinks that they learned from Bojiao.

"School, the chairman's school! Now Kabalan's Chinese language is noble Chinese, and if you don't know Chinese, you can't be an official, and you can't even collect taxes! Xiao Wang is reading the chairman's book, which was specially sent to Guangzhou to buy it, but I am stupid, and I can't read it in many places, and the chairman has too much knowledge, which is as ...... as the sky" Prince Taba made Hong Tao stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.

"Oh yes, school is good, school is good! You've learned well, don't rush, take your time. Ask me if you don't understand, and I'll sign your book in a moment! Only then did Hong Tao remember that he had asked Bo Jiao to run a Chinese school here, specializing in teaching Kabalan's aristocratic children to learn Chinese. I didn't expect Bo Jiao to really care, it is estimated that this Taba prince has not contributed less, well, cultural aggression is really easy, it has only been a few years, and it has become Cabalan's Chinese.

As for his own book, in fact, it is the book that Wen Nan wrote for himself, at the beginning of the year it began to be distributed in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, but I didn't expect it to be sold to Cabalan Port, and it was collected by the royal family, this matter Hong Tao was interested, he had to sign his name on these books, maybe that book could be passed on, if it was thousands of years later, the book signed with his name was put in the museum, and it had to be covered with a vacuum crystal cover for thousands of people to admire, it was interesting to think about, the great writer!

In fact, what is written in this book is the process, techniques, and experience of governing Jinhe Bay, as well as the customs and specialties of Southeast Asian countries, and some glorious military exploits. Wen Nan still gives him a lot of face as a teacher, all the dirty things have been passed by him with the Spring and Autumn penmanship, and Hong Tao in the book is a wise man who has unique insights on many issues. And this book is only the first volume, and there are still a lot of notes behind Wen Nan who went to be a boat transfer envoy before he sorted it out, as for when the second and third volumes will be released, it depends on Wen Nan's time.

"Theory of Sea Power" This is the title of the book that Hong Tao squatted in the toilet of the battleship and thought about it painstakingly, and it is said that a book is not popular first to look at the name, he is extremely inexperienced in the name of this matter, so he plagiarized it, since the name is popular in the later generations, then he will use it first, it should not be too bad. If it is on fire, then Mahan will save the lamp and boil wax to write, if there is no fire, it will not affect Mahan to write another book of the same name, the difference of hundreds of years, who remembers this book that is not popular?

What is cultural aggression? Today, Hong Tao can see its effect and power with his own eyes, and this aggressor is still himself. The shadow of the Great Song Dynasty is everywhere in Kabalan's royal palace, from clothing to architectural decoration, from food to books, plus everyone pops out a few words of Chinese from time to time, giving Hong Tao the illusion of time and space being reversed. He seems to have entered a large company in the future, obviously there is no foreigner in the company, but from decoration to stationery to various supplies, it has to be European and American brands, and even Chinese tea can't be drunk.
