Crimea, Sevastopol, Zhao Hongjun's senior brother, Baron Houming of Suzdal, Russia, led a platoon of guards and boarded Thomas's clipper ship.

The reason Thomas was not taken to Rostov was because the northern shore of the Sea of ​​Azov would freeze over in winter.

At this time, we can see the benefits of Sevastopol, a deep-water, ice-free port, which was the base of the Black Sea Fleet of the Woolly Bear Empire in later generations. The people from the east coast obtained this port and basically controlled the trading rights along the Black Sea coast.

Dr. Chen gave this port to the East Coast for free, not because he didn’t know how to ask for money, nor because he didn’t understand the importance of sea power. It’s because the East Coast, as an ally of the European Union, has made a lot of contributions, and it’s just a reward from the European Union...

…This port is not used by the European Union anyway.

Fortunately, with Dr. Chen's capture of Crimea, Black Tulip's power has expanded here and is still expanding northward along the Cossack Passage. It will eventually expand to Siberia and establish radio stations in important strongholds.

Therefore, after Lao Hou met Dr. Chen’s family in Rostov, he had already contacted Thomas. Dr. Chen’s home radio station, in addition to his parents calling Dr. Chen to care about the war, finally had other

function.

Thomas greeted the old marquis with formal aristocratic etiquette. No matter how low-ranking the Russian title was, a baron was much more senior than Thomas, a knight.

Thomas was sent out to pick up Lao Hou as soon as he became a knight. He had been floating on the sea and had no chance to show his knighthood, but he finally put it to use here.

The younger one has just entered the aristocratic class, the more willing one is to strictly abide by etiquette and demonstrate one's aristocratic status. This is the so-called fanaticism of converts.

The old Hou was an experienced man and knew all about this. He responded with a formal nod, which made Thomas fully feel the happiness of becoming a noble.

The wind from the Black Sea blew a little cool on Lao Hou's shiny forehead. Lao Hou waved his hand and handed over his hat knowingly. There were two mink skins on the hat, and there was a light silver ring on the crown, decorated with

6 silver balls.

Even modern people like Lao Hou, in the 17th century, had to dress in line with the trend of the times. Noble hats were very particular, and if you wore them wrong, you would be laughed at.

Don't think that this is because Lao Hou has been assimilated into feudal society. This thing is the same everywhere. Even if you join the Lingao regime in the future, although you don't have to be particular about your hat and you don't wear casual clothes, wherever you go in the officialdom, there will be a "surpasser"

The term "system".

Unless you don't want to get involved in the officialdom, revolutionaries like Zhao Hongjun have to button those complicated buttons every morning. However, Zhao Hongjun has someone to button up his buttons, so he is much more corrupt than Lao Hou.

Thomas looked at Lao Hou's hat with deep envy. He didn't know that Lao Hou was actually very dissatisfied. His current territory was already large enough, and the Russians did not give him a knighthood. He was attending the European Union Conference as a baron.

, very shameless.

In fact, the vast majority of those who pass the trials in the European League are lords, knights and even lower-level robed nobles. Those who can become barons are elites.

However, among the four brothers, Lao Hou, there is now an emperor, a duke, and an earl. Only the senior brother, Lao Hou, has the lowest title. I am embarrassed to meet the teacher. And if nothing else happens, the Duke Lao Zhu will soon become emperor.

There is no hope for the Russians, because Dr. Chen's power has expanded too quickly and he has been targeted by the Patriarch. Lao Hou, a baron who has colluded with the Cossacks, will definitely be benched.

The old marquis can only imagine that he will occupy all of Siberia in the future and call himself the king. However, in Russian, this Siberian kingdom sounds like the Xianbei ethnic minority regime. It gives the impression that he is a chief, and may not be as respectable as a Russian baron.

Lao Hou's greatest ideal is to integrate Siberia, bring more than 10 million square kilometers of land, join the Lingao regime, and take turns taking charge of the throne with President Wen and the Governor.

When he puts on the darker tunic suit, he will be in the most distinguished position in the world, and that's when Lao Hou will be truly proud.

Therefore, the old prince was very active in conquering Siberia. When he arrived, he heard that the Cossacks led by Dezhnev had arrived in Tyumen. After the follow-up troops, Suzdal administrators, and Tatar slaves arrived, they would go to Hubei.

Musk marched on.

Even though Lao Hou can't fight, and he doesn't have Zhao Hongjun's ability to cheat, it takes a lot of effort to be promoted to a baron, but he is a very good manager. Don't look down on Lao Hou who was born as a teacher. If the teacher upgrades, that's it.

tutor……

There is no course that can teach you the knowledge of being an official. To do it well, the requirements for personal quality are very high, and Lao Hou happens to have this quality.

It seems that Lao Hou is not proficient in anything except the theory of horse training. When he started a large-scale steel smelting, he expected to make good steel, but he only produced refined iron. He begged his grandfather and grandma to find the old experts of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. several times.

That is to say, the iron-making technology of the 17th century was really awkward, so the old marquis became a baron. In fact, the technology... was not suitable for the old marquis. This was the reason why the old marquis was slow to be promoted to the nobility.

But when Lao Hou finally found the right direction and attacked Siberia, Lao Hou's ability finally came into play.

Compared with his goals, Lao Hou's initial conditions are very poor. In terms of military affairs, he has the support of Dr. Chen, but the Cossacks sent are all unruly bandits. In terms of internal affairs, he relies on the Suzdal fellows, but these fellows are all

He is an illiterate peasant.

Such a combination sets out to Siberia. It is no problem to occupy the territory. It is necessary to make the territory political and harmonious, and the weather is smooth. This will be a great test of the old marquis's ability to rule.

In fact, Zhao Hongjun did not have high expectations for Lao Hou, as long as he could ensure his own safety and occupy the territory in Siberia.

When development and governance are needed later, the European Union should have already been established and operational, and there will naturally be a large number of talented people to support it. After all, the development of Siberia is the collective interest of the European Union.

To take a step back, even if we do not develop and govern, it is enough to just hold the land and give it to the governor, and replace the old marquis with the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Lingao Executive Committee. The governance of Siberia can be left to the Lingao regime.

As long as Lao Hou sends people to occupy important resource points, it will be enough to explain to the investors of EuroLeague.

But Lao Hou can't have such low requirements for himself. You can't even manage Siberia, and you still expect to take turns with Governor Wen to manage the most powerful country in the world in the future? Are you dreaming?

Therefore, Lao Hou ran around day and night regardless of fatigue. During the day, he went to various places to inspect, guide and investigate, coordinate military and political relations, and worry about the progress of suppressing bandits. At night, he opened a night school to train his 500 fellow villagers. All except those sent out were required to participate.

Now, the "Zhenxibao Night School" has become the place that Lao Hou attaches most importance to. The farmers in Suzdal are so honored to have Lao Hou, a doctoral lecturer, teach in person.

To say that Lao Maozi's national quality is acceptable, at least his mind is not stupid. Lao Hou gave full play to his ability as a "mentor" and saw that these fellow villagers, who were just some farmers' little wisdom, were being trained by Lao Hou step by step.
