"But I can make a replica of it, the current Golden River Bay is the future Australia, and it will be better than there. Any country, no matter how rich, will have its own problems. I want to take Australia as a blueprint, extract the essence from its dross, and combine the advantages of the Great Song Dynasty and other countries to rebuild a richer, freer and more vibrant city. Lao Wen, isn't it more interesting to build an ideal city with your own hands than to take a look at other people's cities? As long as you believe me, I swear that you will see a completely different city, and you are not a spectator, you are a participant, a founder, a creator! Didn't I say it, in the future, your name, and maybe your statue, will stand in this city, forever worshiped by future generations, do you want to give it a try? "When is the most vulnerable in the heart? A time of great joy and sorrow and great ups and downs! Wennan is in this situation now, the newspaper gave him a great mental impact, and the sinking of Australia made him extremely disappointed, Hong Tao drew him a big pie in time, and the chance of him biting the hook was very high. In fact, in the past two years in Jinhewan, Hong Tao basically did not forcibly transform Wennan, but adopted the strategy of luring him to change little by little, to put it bluntly, it is brainwashing, and using reality to brainwash him.

"Can students have the privilege of publishing my travelogue in this newspaper?" Wen Nan completely surrendered, he only called Hong Tao Mr. before, that was because Hong Tao did know more than him, and he couldn't accept it. But he never called himself a student, on the one hand, Hong Tao didn't care about the salutation, and on the other hand, he was not convinced, so he was completely convinced.

"Anyone can! As long as you say something, you can! But I'm not going to let you just be a newspaper publisher, didn't you just say that you are the founder of this new city. At the same time, you are also the creator of a new era. The newspaper is your battlefield, I plan to ask Brother Wen to be the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, what does Brother Wen think? Hong Tao said it very easily, in fact, he had already made a very bold decision to let Wen Nan go back to the Great Song Dynasty.

Editor-in-Chief...... What is it? Wen Nan knew the word editor-in-chief, but he couldn't figure out why there was an editor-in-chief in the newspaper.

"The editor-in-chief is the one who decides who can publish in the newspaper. He is also the owner of this newspaper, and he will decide the success or failure of this newspaper. Hong Tao deliberately said that this position is very, very important, so as to give Wen Nan more stimulation.

"I'm afraid that the students are not qualified to be the editor-in-chief...... There are countless great sages in the Great Song Dynasty, and Wen is not well-known...... "Wen Nan's face was red, he wanted to be the editor-in-chief very, very much, but he was very, very afraid.

"It doesn't matter if someone else can say it, you say yes, I say yes, it's okay! I not only plan to let Brother Wen be the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, but also plan to let Brother Wen go back to the Great Song Dynasty. In the past few years, you have been wronged here. It's time for you to go back, you're a Song after all, and that's your country. Seeing Wen Nan's expression, Hong Tao threw out another big bomb, and it wasn't over if he didn't blow this guy down.

"Ahh Let me go back to the Great Song? Wen Nan was completely dumbfounded, he had thought about this countless times, and even planned to escape countless times, but Hong Tao really wanted to let him go back now. He didn't know how to answer. Go home, he thought! But he didn't want to leave Jinhewan, a place full of novelties. The more than two years he spent here were the most interesting years, and it is not even an exaggeration to describe it as a rebirth. Don't go home, after all, there are parents, wives and children at home, and I haven't seen them for a few years, so I don't want to be fake.

"Well, editor-in-chief, go home. Two things, don't worry, you think slowly first, and then come to me after thinking about it. Hong Tao tried hard not to laugh, this was the first time he had seen this sharp-toothed Great Song literati so overwhelmed. As long as he sees others unlucky, he is happy. Being able to pretend to be forced in front of the Great Song literati has always been one of his goals, and now it is finally time to complete it. Hong Tao stretched out his hand and patted Wen Nan on the shoulder, then walked with a crab step behind his back, staggering towards the construction site, and threw Wen Nan alone on the small dirt slope and was stunned.

In fact, Hong Tao didn't take advantage of it at all, he was happy, but he was uncomfortable. It's quite enjoyable, but it's not so easy to get a newspaper, every technical problem has to be solved by him himself, after all, only he knows what the newspaper is like in the end, and others can only assist him, not replace him. So as soon as the pretending joy passed, he had to wander from workshop to workshop to discuss specific problems with the experienced old craftsmen.

The lead character is the simplest, he only needs to draw a pattern, and the craftsman in charge of casting will know how to get it, which is nothing more than a rectangular block of lead-tin alloy, and the size is finer. The rest of the fonts will be carved by craftsmen to ponder slowly, this craft is no less than the machine production of later generations, all eighth-level workers!

The hydraulic printing press can't be made for the time being, and Hong Tao doesn't know how to operate this thing, he really hasn't played in the printing industry, and he can't draw a simple structure. However, this does not affect the actual printing, the circulation of the newspaper in the early stage will not be too large, even in the later stage, there will not be any possibility of a daily circulation of hundreds of thousands of copies, even if it is printed, it will not be distributed, there is no road network and railway network, how can so many newspapers be sent? Therefore, the original manual typesetting and manual printing can fully meet the requirements of circulation.

Printing ink! This is the most important thing to address at the moment. Without the right ink, the printed newspaper will become black, impossible to read, and dirty hands will be dirty to hold. Unlike wooden and clay impressions, which can absorb excess ink, it will not absorb at all, so this ink must be very sticky and can stick to metal impressions. But it can't be too thin, it must also have strong volatility and adhesion, it can dry quickly after printing, and it will not fade easily after drying.

Hong Tao didn't know what the ink was made of in the later generations, but he understood a truth, the viscosity can be made with whale oil, and after boiling it a few more times, it should be more sticky and sticky, and the raw lacquer on the ship can be mixed with whale oil. The volatility can be used with alcohol or a pure blend of oil after distillation a few times, they are strong volatile agents and blenders, but there will be some pungent taste left, then there is no way, make do. The colorant is the plant dye that Li people dyed the cloth of, and the adhesion of that thing is very strong. After writing on the whaleskin paper and drying, it will not fade when soaked in water. As for the mixing of these materials, what ratio to use is appropriate, it is up to the craftsmen to keep experimenting, and before there is a very scientific analysis technology, everything can only rely on experimentation. Experimentation is non-stop!

Paper is the easiest to solve, and at present, Jinhewan already has its own tanners to cut a bundle of whale skin, which is of little use except for making shoes, umbrellas, bags, sails and whaleskin paper, and has not been paid much attention to before. Now it is not possible, Hong Tao told the cobblers to keep improving and make the whaleskin paper more fine. In addition, Hong Tao had to go and discuss with the Li people to see if they could use the canvas spun from Arab cotton to replace the whale skin to make sails, once it was possible. In the future, I will not waste whale skin to make sails, and all the saved whale skin paper will be made into whale skin paper for later use.

In addition, Hong Tao also plans to build a paper mill, but it can't be built next to the Jinhe River, that thing is a high-polluting enterprise, and if it is built, it must be built on the edge of the Milky Way, and it will be mixed with oil refineries, foundries, and smelters. In the future, Yinhe will be the key sewage dump of Jinhe City, and the landfill will also be built there. The river was destroyed in the hands of Hong Tao.

To Hong Tao's surprise, Wen Nan is really ruthless. was ruthless to himself, he actually rejected Hong Tao's kindness and didn't plan to return to the Great Song Dynasty. He said that he wanted to stay in Jinhe City, watch this city with his participation rise to the ground, and see how the land under Hong Tao's rule was different from the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo, and Japan. This guy went crazy, or rather, let Hong Tao flicker a little too much. The brain is broken.

In order to prevent Hong Tao from forcibly sending him back to the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Nan also recommended a replacement for Hong Tao's editor-in-chief, who was his cousin named Wen Hao. I'm also a scholar, but I didn't get into the ranks. But he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, often goes around to visit famous teachers, and belongs to the kind of more pure literati who disdain to be officials. How to let Wen Hao be the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, Wen Nan also thought about it, didn't he have a family member who was also in Jinhewan, he asked Hong Tao to put this family back, and invited this cousin to come to Guangzhou with his own handwritten letter, and then Wen Nan personally went to persuade him.

"Aren't you afraid that I will become a thief in the future and affect your entire family? You still have something to say, you were captured by me, and now you are pulling your cousin in, isn't it a little thoughtless? Hong Tao likes to make ugly things clear before he does things, so as not to complain later.

"If Mr. wants to rebel early, none of the ports of the Great Song Dynasty can stop those warships, just to occupy Qiongzhou and cut off the strait, with the Tan family and the Li people to help Mr., the imperial court has no way. What Mr. said has not yet been figured out by the students, and it is possible that Mr. has bigger intentions, but I believe that Mr. is not a big traitor. "Wen Nan is gambling, the stakes are huge, even he and his family are betting.

"Okay, just do as you say, in fact, sometimes the things done by great good people are not necessarily good results, if you are interested, take your time, with you by my side, I can also look at myself from time to time in multiple mirrors. Let your cousin be sure to rush to Guangzhou before October, we are going to sea again, and this time we will go farther. We're going to a mysterious continent where the people are all dark-skinned, and it's the homeland of those Manu, called Africa. At least half a year back and forth, I have to arrange all the things here before I can leave with confidence, you write a letter immediately, and ask your family to set off with the whaling ship tomorrow and send him back to Lin'an directly. Hong Tao is actually a little reluctant to Wen Nan, don't look at him often raising the bar with himself, and he also opposes many of his decisions, but he is also one of the few people who can chat with him normally in this era.

Carl, Luo Youde, Medini, and Vennan, I'm afraid that except for a few of them, no one else can communicate with him normally. Either they are like Cixi who says what they are, and thinks of an answering machine; Otherwise, it is difficult to get used to himself like Luo Dacai, and even if he does the right thing, he will not be recognized; Otherwise, like Old Man Rong and Bo Fu, they are all family affection for themselves, cordial and cordial, but there is no real exchange of thoughts.

The reason why Hong Tao planned to let Wen Nan go back was also a last resort, mainly to run a good newspaper. Hong Tao can't find a suitable editor-in-chief, this thing can't be done by a literate person, the newspaper he edited is for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is useless to let himself do it, he can only rely on the original literati of the Great Song Dynasty, and he must be able to understand his own meaning, this candidate is only Wen Nan. Since he doesn't want to go back and find a replacement, then don't go back, can that Wen Hao be the editor-in-chief, let's see, let Wen Nan explain more to him, maybe it can be done, who knows.
