Chapter 110 Thinking too much

At the end of May, the South China Sea has entered summer and there are often typhoons. This situation will continue until the end of September before it can improve. Hong Tao is considered to have a bad start, or is a serious crime. He just left Jinhekou for a day and encountered a tropical cyclone. Fortunately, he had seen this thing, and just felt something was wrong, he turned around and ran north. Relying on the speed of the Predator ship, he avoided the path of the cyclone, which was considered to have saved three lives.

When passing by the typhoon this time, the Predator experienced a 6-7-level storm, but except for a spinnaker being torn apart by a strong wind, it can almost be considered intact. This strengthens Hong Tao's shipbuilding philosophy, with the second speed, the seaworthiness and the solidity of the hull, otherwise it will be useless to run faster. If a wave is not hidden well, the bow of the ship will crack.

"See it. This is the power of a typhoon. In the future, when encountering such weather, you must not drive with the wind. The airflow around the typhoon flows towards the center of the typhoon. You must drive sideways against the wind. Find the wind direction and direction, don't panic, and run at the maximum speed. Ordinary typhoons can only run for 8 knots. As long as our boat speed is fast enough, you can escape from danger!" This time, I encountered a typhoon unexpectedly, just as it was a graduation exam for Bo Jiao and Carl. They can now use sextant to measure the accurate sun angle, understand the chart marked by Hong Tao and drive accurately according to the route on the chart, and can basically cope with the midway navigation. The only thing they lack is the courage to face strong winds and waves, which is just the right way to make up for this lesson.

"What if we were full load?" Bo Jiao raised a very critical question. Since the Predator was not designed according to the cargo ship, once it was full load, the hull would sink very badly, and the freeboard was too low, so it would be easy to get on the waves when encountering large waves.

"What do you think?" Hong Tao decided to ask Carl to answer the question.

"The most important thing is to throw away the cargo and save the ship and the people... This is what you said by lord." Carl's answer was very accurate, and he did not forget to take a small photo of Hong Tao.

"You are no longer a knight, but a qualified captain! I will add one more thing, that is, try not to sail with full load. We are not a cargo ship, but a cruise ship. No matter how good the cruise ship is, it cannot be used as a cargo ship." Hong Tao has given up treatment for Carl, an old fried dough stick. Now he has almost thrown away the knight spirit, and has become as unfinished as himself and has no pursuit. Hong Tao is very worried about such people, and his kind are natural enemies!

When Hong Tao returned to Ximaozhou again, he almost couldn't recognize the place. He could see a pillar of green smoke rising from a distance. A little closer, he could see a row of high-legged bamboo buildings appearing on the west side of the island, with people coming and going on the beach. In less than two months, the number of fixed residents on the island tripled. Old Man Rong brought his family and relatives to the cooperative, with 8 families having more than 40. This was the result of careful selection. If people were still needed, the old man said that it would be no problem to give him one tenth of time and call 7 or 8 family members of the duty of the sacred family.

"Of course, but don't worry, let's discuss it after the new ship is completed!" Hong Tao saw Old Man Rong, who was still so agile at the dock. After a greeting, he temporarily declined his kindness. He returned to his yard with a smile but with a lot of thoughts.

Hong Tao had no hope for Bofu and Chen Mingen's work ability. It was his own idea to ask Old Man Rong to come to the island, but he did not say that he would bring so many relatives and friends to come together. Ethnic group! It is a group of forces. When other people's groups are bigger than yours, your interests will be threatened. This is an eternal truth. There are more than 40 people at once, and there is a backbone like Old Man Rong. Isn't this causing trouble for yourself? Who will listen to on the island in the future?

"Ah!? Are you going to go back to Wanning? Why?" Hong Tao only felt depressed for one night. The next morning, Old Man Rong came to say goodbye to him. He wanted to take his wife back to Wanning alone.

"This is the rule of the Dan family. Two generations of territorial seamen cannot be together, otherwise they will lose the primary and secondary. With you taking over me, the old man gave Mazu an explanation and could go home and wait for the day to sink into the sea. My son, you are different from other Dan family members, and you are different from other native people. The life path of the Dan family in Sanjun Town, Qiongzhou, is left to you. I don't ask them to live here, but don't take them to the sea to be pirates, that will harm them!" Old man Rong was still so happy, slapped Hong Tao's arm with his dry palm, and finished everything he wanted to say before he left.

"There are still rules for the Dan family!" Hong Tao didn't know what to say, and his face was filled with fever. He secretly thanked that he had held back last night and did not talk to Bofu and Chen Mingen about how to limit Old Man Rong's right to speak. If this was said, how would they see him? This thought was too dirty. Compared with Old Man Rong, he was a villain.

"This is how people from all dynasties have been like this." Chen Mingen nodded.

"It's changed from my generation! Rong Wengweng is so old that he has led the sea for our family for decades, and let him return to the straits alone. It's very unreasonable. When I think of me as old as I am, I have to do this with a new territorial seaman. I feel uncomfortable. Those who have made meritorious must be treated preferentially, otherwise others will not be encouraged to contribute to our collective. Having a support for old age is another new policy of our cooperative. In the future, the cooperative will pay for the cooperative. The filial piety or not of their children will not affect the elderly's later life. Not only the elderly,

All members who are injured and disabled due to work for the cooperative must be raised. As long as the cooperative one day and I live for one day, this rule cannot be changed. Rong Wengweng, Grandpa, Fuzhang, let me make the decision on this matter once, don’t argue, just do what I said." Hong Tao felt like a bed bug exposed to the sun, and was uncomfortable. Not saying a little high-end, elegant and high-end words is not enough to cover up his shamelessness, so he threw out the pension and work-related injury system in advance, and forcibly implemented his own proposition for the first time, so he felt better.

"Where are there so much money and grain to support us, the old people who are not good at it? I will thank you for your life if you can find a way out for the Dan family. No need to pull us together anymore. That would be a big drag. Don't worry, no one dares to say anything. Our Dan family has been like this for many generations." Bofu and Chen Mingen did not object. They had a certain understanding of Hong Tao and knew that what he could say could generally do, and were not very worried. However, Old Man Rong had little contact with Hong Tao, and thought Hong Tao was holding on to the sake of good looks. He saw the lives of these people on the island and was very satisfied, but he didn't think that Hong Tao could support so many people by relying on Hong Tao alone to go out to hunt whales alone.

"Weng Weng, since you have joined the cooperative, you have to abide by the regulations of the cooperative and cannot take the lead in opposing it! I know whether it is enough or not, and I will never be able to make you fat. I can't guarantee how rich I am, but I still have no problem with eating and wearing a warm dress. But I still need your help. I don't know these new members of the sacrificial family. Please pick out more than a dozen young and reliable people from them and let them follow me on the boat. I want to teach them how to operate a sailboat and kill whales. When I am not around in the future, they can go out to sea to catch fish by themselves." Hong Tao really wanted to take it step by step according to his own arrangements, but sometimes he really couldn't help himself. Some things could not be done immediately, and some things had to be in advance.

"Everyone can kill whales?" Old man Rong always thought that Hong Tao had exclusive skills to kill whales, but he didn't expect that this thing could be learned, and Hong Tao was willing to take it out for others to learn it.

"Hehe... Whale salamanders are like elephants on land. Although they are not easy to kill, they are still animals and there is nothing to kill. As long as they can abide by the rules on my ship and listen to my greetings, they will learn it soon." Hong Tao was not worried that the skill of whaling was learned by other sacred families. If there is no fast ship that can sail far away, it would be useless to know how to catch whaling. Even if you can imitate the windsurfing, it would be useless. It would be useless to make money if you can make whaling oil.

"Okay, old man, I won't leave anymore. I'll help you stare here to see who dares not study hard!" This time, Old Man Rong finally nodded. If all the Dan family could learn this ability, eating rice every day would not be a dream!

After lunch in the cafeteria, Old Man Rong took Hong Tao to the dock. More than a dozen strong young men from the Dan family were already squatting here in groups of three or three. They were all whaling team members selected by Old Man Rong according to Hong Tao's request. The youngest was only 14 years old, and the oldest was only in his early 20s, which was similar to Huang Tao.

"Ajiao, stay, take them to my grandfather's school for a long time every day, and then go to the windsurfing exercises one by one. The Explorer will leave you, you are responsible for teaching them how to drive sails, how to use sextant, how to view the charts, and teach them everything you know. I want to go to Guangzhou to pull goods, and check your work progress after I come back, don't be lazy. They are your future crew members. If you want to be the captain, you can't be the commander alone." Hong Tao said that he would not let Bo Jiao be lazy. He was faster than anyone else's lazy. He didn't teach these people for a day and threw them all to Bo Jiao.
