Chapter 80: Moving
But if he wants to say that he has done it, Luo Youde will naturally be wary, he must be afraid that he is using him to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty, once he doesn't want to cooperate with him, then he will have nothing. He can neither hunt whales nor refine oil, in later generations he is a dealer, and he can't control the sales network, saying that if he is kicked out, he will be kicked out, there is no guarantee. In order to let Luo Youde relax a little, and in order to test his courage, Hong Tao vaguely mentioned his future development direction.
"Then I don't know where Brother Hong plans to go and what he plans to do?" Luo Youde made Hong Tao a little embarrassed to say something, and he had been in contact with Hong Tao for a long time, but he loved and hated Hong Tao's undisguised communication habits. Love is really worry-free, there is one to say and two to say, don't bother to guess, if you don't guess wrong, delay things; Hate is really shocking, every time Hong Tao can see through what he is thinking, and then Chi Guoguo brings it up, which is very embarrassing.
"Well, it's very simple, I want to build bigger and more sea ships, and then go to Dashi, Daqin, and the black country, record all the customs and customs over there, and then bring back to the Great Song Dynasty what the Great Song Dynasty didn't have. When I come back, I will draw a huge map for everyone in the Great Song Dynasty to see how many countries and how many lands there are in this world. Hong Tao only said half of his plan, as for the part that wants to occupy the sea, he didn't mention it, and just picked up the good ones.
“…… When the time comes, can Brother Hong's ship prepare a place for Brother Hong, I am willing to be a sailor for Brother Hong! Luo Youde finally let go of the oil lamp, stood up, looked at Hong Tao for a few seconds, then raised his turban with both hands, dusted off his originally clean clothes, and made a big swing to Hong Tao with his fists, and kept his waist ninety degrees, and maintained this state.
"Oops...... I'm just saying that it's not too late for you to salute when my big ship begins to be built. But it's very dangerous to sail on the sea, my previous big sea ship was ten zhang long, or was it destroyed by a strong wind, aren't you afraid of drowning with me? Hong Tao looked at Luo Youde's posture, yes, this is waiting for himself to help, it is a bit of a meaning that if you don't agree, I won't get up. I didn't expect this Luo Youde to be an adventurous person, think about it, in this era, the person who dares to run around Southeast Asia on a boat is still an official and a rich family, and he should indeed be regarded as a bit of an explorer. It's just that because I'm used to looking at the world map, I always think that Southeast Asia is a puddle, and I don't think there's any risk.
"A gentleman's word!" Luo Youde straightened up, didn't take Hong Tao's intimidation seriously at all, stretched out his right hand, and put his palm at Hong Tao.
"Yes, if you are not afraid of death, I will not be afraid of trouble to bury, and the horse is difficult to chase! When the time comes, if you don't get on the boat, I'll tie you up too!" Hong Tao also stretched out his right hand and high-fived Luo Youde as an oath, but there were too many bits and pieces in his mouth, and he didn't have that heroic spirit at all, and the hippie smiling face and nagging were very ruinous to the atmosphere.
Luo Youde walked very fast, and he was going to set off for Qiongzhou and Guangzhou immediately, while exploring the lamp oil market, and at the same time preparing to build a store called Huanqiu Universe Development Co., Ltd. As soon as I heard this name, it was given by Hong Tao, which is too vulgar! Luo Youde did not object to the strange shop name that Hong Tao casually came up with, he was very curious about the business model of Hong Tao's hometown, anyway, the Great Song Dynasty did not have too many restrictions on business activities, and many southern merchants could name their stores with the name of their hometowns, and the limited company would be a limited company.
This time, Luo Dacai didn't go with his precious nephew, because Hong Tao still had to rely on him to buy some items, such as pottery urns for boiling whale oil, clay pots for storing whale oil, and the glass production base on Ximaozhou Island was still under construction. This is his and Luo Youde's private property, and it is not safe to entrust it to others, and all major and small affairs must be handled by him.
Uproot! This is the first major event announced by Hong Tao after Luo Youde left! He had already discussed with Luo Youde that Ximaozhou Island would be bought by Luo Youde and a friend to build a shipyard. But this is just an excuse, the shipyard has to be built, but not now, what is needed now is docks, warehouses, glass kilns and oil refineries. Except for a few young people who had to learn the skills of sailing with Hong Tao, the elderly, children, and women stayed on the island to help with the construction while boiling whale oil, and did not have to go to the sea to work anymore.
"I'm still going to live on my boat! The Tan family can't live without a boat! At the enlarged meeting of the cooperative, after listening to Hong Tao's speech, the old man Bofu was the first to stand up and oppose it. He didn't have much to say, but he instinctively felt that change was not a good thing, and it was safest to live by the rules of his ancestors. In addition, he was not very satisfied with Hong Tao and Luo Youde getting so close, in the eyes of the Tan family, the natives could not believe it.
"Fubo, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you get on the boat, but the fishing matter will be left to me and the second and third brothers, you have raised them, and you should enjoy them at home. When you are fine, you just stare at your sisters-in-law to boil whale oil, and whoever is lazy will deduct their wages! When Azhu has a child, you can also help me watch the child at home, I can't carry the child out to sea to chase whales. If you want to go to sea, you can also go out to sea, not only you can't forget the sea, but also the small fish and shrimp they also follow me to slowly learn to drive a sailboat out to the sea, and they will have to hunt whales alone in the future. Our Tan family can't do without the sea, and our Tan family has to conquer the sea, not only let the sea harm us, but also let it bring us a better life! Smack, oops...... Grandpa, what are you doing! Hong Tao has long known that the old man Bofu will not easily agree to move to the shore to live, no matter whether he has a reason or not, he can convince him, as long as he can grasp his weakness, he has to move if he doesn't want to! But before this impassioned ending was finished, he was slapped by Chen Mingen on the back annoyance, which made Hong Tao confused, why did his godfather react more than Bo Fu? Didn't they all unify their voices in private just now?
"Don't talk nonsense, when did the sea plague the Tan family? If you say that, you're not afraid that Mazu will blame you! Chen Mingen didn't turn against the water, but blamed Hong Tao for being open-mouthed. As a Tan family, they can die in the sea, but they dare not complain about the sea, as long as the sea can bring them harvest every day, they will be content.
"Okay, well, that sentence doesn't count. Fauber, do you think what I said will come true? If you want to live on the ship, you can live on the ship, and if you want to live on the shore, you can live on the shore, don't force it! Actually, I don't want to move, but the movement of boiling oil is too big, in case someone finds out our secret, looks red, and runs to grab it, we can run, these pottery urns can't run away. Besides, in the future, Wen Bo will help me build a new ship, and I won't let others see it, and I will learn it secretly, and I, Brother Wen Qi, will have no skills in eating in the future, don't you say? After Luo Youde left, Hong Tao found Chen Mingen, Huang Hai, and Wen Laoer to talk to them separately, and they had been persuaded with different interests, so a mobilization meeting was held. Hong Tao never does things that he is not sure of, if his proposal is not passed, how much he loses his prestige.
The Wen family has already obeyed Hong Tao's words, because Hong Tao is indeed teaching the Wen family's sons how to build ships, as long as their children can learn real skills, you let Wen Lao Er move to the top of the mountain to live and he will agree. Huang Hai has always been a follower of Hong Tao, and now Hong Tao wants to let Huang Lang and Huang Tao enter the upcoming whaling team, which can be regarded as teaching them stunts, so Huang Hai also fell to Hong Tao's side like Wen Laoer. Chen Mingen don't mention it, Hong Tao is his godson, and he can't run away if he does it well or badly, so he can only follow. This time he got whale oil, and he will soon be rich, and Hong Tao will also build a school on the island, and promised to be taught by Chen Mingen, and the old man will take it immediately! As a person who has read books, he still thinks that it is best to be able to read, even if he knows that he can no longer get rid of the identity of Tanmin, but he is very satisfied with being a teacher in Tanmin.
The rest of the Weng family and the Bu family have just joined the cooperative, and they have neither shares nor credit, basically even if they are employees of the cooperative, they have no right to speak at all, only to listen, so the old man Bofu has become Hong Tao's only opponent. In fact, Hong Tao not only didn't bother this stubborn old man, but valued him more. He is a persistent person, and he will not change his persistence because of a small favor, even if he is his son-in-law, he still speaks out. There can't be many people like this, and if there are more, it will be annoying, but it can't be without, and if there is none, it will make people lose their restraint.
Hong Tao regards Po Fu as a constraint for himself, whenever he wants to take shortcuts, break the rules of the cooperative, and engage in conspiracy and timekeeping, he will think of Po Fu's playing card face, so he will be more restrained. If a person does not have checks and balances, even if Hong Tao has crossed three times like this, the freak of the third life will still go the wrong way. From time to time, someone stabs you and makes you feel uncomfortable, so you will be reminded not to look at the swans flying in the sky first, but to look down to see if there are any pits on the road.
"That's right! Xiao Er, take your brothers, pack up the things on the beach, and go back to the Ningyuan River estuary at dawn tomorrow and get the rows of boats from our family. I'll be here here to help your brother-in-law watch this island in the future, and no one can come up and look around! As soon as he heard that the craftsmanship of boiling whale oil and shipbuilding might be leaked, and that it might be robbed by the natives, the old man immediately gave in. He can live by eating taro all day long, but he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to suffer with him. Whale oil can be sold for money, and new ships can be built to hunt whales, and the old man understands this truth.
