Chapter 106 Jinhe

For other Dan family members, he returned home with a full load this time, but for Hong Tao, he killed more than twenty pilot whales and got more than one big baleen whales. If it weren't for the same tribes, he would have driven back to Ximaozhou on a boat and asked this old man Rong to talk about joining the group with Chen Mingen. If there were a few more reliable Dan family members on Ximaozhou, then the women of the Weng family, Bu family, and Ou family could be drawn out to open up some of the land. Only Bofu and Bo Xiaoer and his son were left on the island, and they could take a few skilled women to make oil as masters.

Chen Mingen and Bofu were still very welcome when Old Man Rong's sudden visit. It seems that this territorial seaman has a good reputation, at least not hated. In addition, a title that has no practical benefits and can only serve others is generally loved, such as Lei Feng. Unfortunately, this title will change when it comes to Hong Tao. Not only does he want to turn this title into a practical position, but he also intends to use this title to seek huge benefits for himself. It's a disaster! He will harm him wherever he goes!

"Can you tell him about the land reopening? You two will do it yourself, so I won't participate. There is still waiting for the second batch of supplies and personnel there. I will find someone to unload the ship, wash it and load it up after the ship is loaded." Hong Tao believes that Bo Fu and Chen Mingen's life wisdom can still be considered clearly. Now, whether Old Man Rong can bring new personnel to supplement Hong Tao no longer cares about whether he is lonely, and there are still a few lonely people thousands of miles away. The key is whether they can stand firm.

Most of the people on board the second batch of ships were family members of the pioneer team, and they could not let the old people separate, which was not conducive to social stability. Moreover, the labor ability of the Dan women is not weaker than that of men, and they are more good at many production and life matters. In order to deal with unexpected situations, Hong Tao also brought the Explorer with him. Carl and Bo Jiao were finally able to fly alone. They will be the captain together and sailed the Explorer after the Predator. Once the camp cannot be kept, one more boat can be installed, and everyone can retreat together, and no one will leave it behind.

The voyage was not very smooth, not because of the weather problem, but because of the ship formation navigation. Hong Tao had no experience in this area. He used to sail alone in sailing boats, and he would be considered completing the task. The two ships with different speeds and different performances were very simple to follow each other day and night, and it was very troublesome to do it. On the night before, a little mist occurred on the sea, and Hong Tao threw the Explorer away. The light of the firefly like a firefly was not seen on the sea.

"I'd better believe in their abilities. As long as I don't forget what I taught, I can't lose it!" Hong Tao deliberately lowered the sail and waited for half an hour, but still did not find any trace of the Explorer, so he could only continue moving forward.

In this era without high-power lighting equipment and radio, it is really difficult to maintain a complete fleet at sea. It is not very helpful to just rely on lanterns hanging on the bow and stern of the ship. The sea conditions are better and the ship speed can still be used when it is very slow. With the wind and waves and the speed of the ship increases, you may lose your ship in a very short time, and it will be difficult to find it. Hong Tao cannot solve this problem. If you hang the lantern on the top of the mast, it can slightly alleviate this problem, but it still has no effect in bad weather.

Fortunately, Hong Tao was more careful in advance. He marked three convergence coordinates on the chart and told Karl and Bojiao that no matter whether they can keep up with the Predator or not, they don’t have to panic. Just follow the knowledge they have learned while walking and measuring, and they will wait for them at these three coordinate points. This method was not invented by Hong Tao. This was how the World of the World Sailing Race was played in later generations. The voyage was divided one by one, and there were n convergence points along the way. If anyone gets lost or has a ship malfunction, don’t look for the correct path. Just go to the convergence point directly.

"Your Bo family has a real dragon shark!" When Hong Tao waited for two hours at the first junction point and finally saw the black sail in the telescope, he handed the telescope to Bozhu, who had been anxious.

"Give me a good boat like this, I can do it too!" Bo Zhu was always worried about her nephew. She thought it was inappropriate to let a 12-year-old child sail out of the sea alone with a red-haired ghost, but she did not dare to object to Hong Tao's decision. Now that Hong Tao used the actual results to prove his correctness again, Bo Zhu was relieved of his worries and began to become a little jealous.

"Well, the next ship is called the Azhu. Then you become the captain and sisters-in-laws will be crew members. Let's go out to sea together!" Hong Tao did not think that women cannot sail far away, but it's better not to be on the same boat as men, as it would cause a lot of trouble. If you build a military ship of the Lady, the effect might be good. He planned to give it a try, which would make up for his shortcomings in his lack of staff.

"I can't be the captain..." Bo Zhu was quite modest.

"Who said that women can't be captains? I don't believe this evil! Now you are the acting captain of this ship. Be prepared to set sail. Ajiao has caught up with you. Don't be afraid, I'll help you stare, just like you used to chase whales, it's easy." Seeing that Bojiao and Carl can already sail independently, Hong Tao was very happy. Even if he couldn't complete that huge plan, as long as he could cultivate a few more people like Bojiao and Carl, they would naturally follow their own steps. Because that was due to human nature, the more people there were, the greater the possibility that his plan would become a reality.

Under Hong Tao's encouragement and pressure, Bo Zhu became the captain, and his sister-in-law and his younger siblings became female crew members. While Hong Tao was a navigator, he had to be a sailor and took a bunch of women to raise and lower sails. He was very busy, which added some fun to the boring sea life. However, compared with training the men of the sacred family, the women of the sacred family are more difficult. They are not weak in their hardships, but they have too little knowledge and little experience in going to sea. They have a shallow understanding of the ships. They have to take it slowly and cannot be anxious.

As for Bo Zhu, she is not a qualified captain, but a qualified instructor. She can see her shadow all over the boat. She will help her sister-in-law lift the sails, and then help her brother and sister turn the sails. Every time the boat turns, she will be the busiest time, but she forgot the most important thing. If Hong Tao hadn't helped her record the charts, it would be hard to tell where the ship would eventually drive.

Jinhe! This is the name that Hong Tao marked the pioneer spot on the sea chart, and it is also the official name of the river on Luzon Island. Whether others agree or not, it is called Jinhe now. If the people alone know it, Hong Tao also asked Wen Lao Er to carve a line of words on the trunk, apply dye, and then insert the trunk at the mouth of the river. Hong Tao told them that this is called a boundary stake, which is used to mark his territory. As long as the place where this stake is inserted, it belongs to the cooperative, which is everyone's property.

Or do you say you don’t get up early if you don’t seek profit! When you heard that this wooden stake can have such functions, the pioneer team put this thing in it everywhere. Not only there is a river estuary, but there is one on both sides of the river bank hundreds of meters. They are even more ambition than Hong Tao. They have to occupy the north side of the river bank and cannot be spared from the south side of the river bank. Most of these wooden stakes have crooked Chinese characters written on them, some of them have written on the Jinhewan of the Han family, and some have simply written on the Bo family, Huang family, and Wen family. All of them have started to occupy land, and the sphere of influence of each family has been drawn. However, Hong Tao does not intend to admit these private territories. How can this be done? It’s too unorganized and undisciplined. It is now the cooperative stage, and it is still far from private ownership.

"Who did this? What's the point of drawing a circle? You can't even write a name, so you're too embarrassed to insert a boundary stake!" Seeing the end, Hong Tao couldn't even see it. Many boundary stakes didn't even have words. He just carved a mark with a sharp weapon and inserted it on the ground. This is the standard Luobu, so he won't wash the mud.
