Chapter 186 Illicit gains

What Hong Tao couldn't understand the most was the reaction of the Mongolian side. He went around the north and burned and killed all the way. The Mongolian officials in several cities were tortured and killed by him, but they didn't react. At first glance, it's been three months since then. No matter how slow the message was passed, he should have sent the letter by crawling. But there was no news from the Southern Song Dynasty court. It's really weird!

It is not a reaction at all. In the past, you often see smuggling ships from the north almost extinct at Mingzhou Port. It is understandable that other ports have been burned by themselves, but what about ships from Dengzhou Port and Mizhou Port? Usually, the most smuggling ships from these two places come, but now they can't see any of them. There is no need to ask anyone about this information. Luo Youde's business and Cixi's Bureau of Statistics do this work. There is no month to send information about this for Hong Tao to personally inspect, and the information of northern merchants is also a large part of it. Therefore, Mongolia still responded. At least they blocked Dengzhou Port and Mizhou Port and did not allow sea ships to enter and exit freely. Do they plan to play the ban on the sea and have to observe again.

It’s good to have a reaction. Whether it’s the implementation of the maritime ban or the arrangement of heavy troops to guard the army, as long as you respond, it means that you have not done anything in vain. If you cause trouble, it’s a success! As for what the other party has taken, Hong Tao doesn’t care. He really doesn’t care. He just needs to implement his own arrangements and plans. He will react as much as the other party wants. It has nothing to do with him. This is called a crushing force. If I can’t even pay back the fight, I still have to care about what your reaction will be?

It is said that knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. That is when your strength is similar. If you drive a tank, the other party doesn’t even have a bicycle. It’s nothing important whether you know whether you know the enemy or not. If you know it, you will just finish it in one shot, and you will still have to spend that effort. First, Hong Tao is now like a tank on the sea surface. At this time, all the countries on the ground are primitive people holding wooden sticks in his eyes. Just as sea combat is a crushing and a shot of the past.

"Brother Luo, Lao Wen, I'll leave it to you here. I have to say that. I would rather be meaningless than seeking nothing. Don't be radical in everything. It's best to maintain the status quo. In the summer, I will send a fleet to come again to deal with Dengzhou and Mizhou, and see what else can harm. I guess the battle situation this year will be like this. To put it bluntly, once the Mongolians withdraw their troops, our status will probably be reduced a lot. Using people to face the front and not the back is the usual style of your official family. It's not that I slander him, but that the important officials of the court around him forced him to do this, and he wouldn't do it. You two make more friends and make friends with local officials. I think that Wu Qian and Wu Zhizhou are a good person. He is currently preparing to build a river embankment.

You can help him with money and goods, get him a Mingzhou merchant to raise funds, etc. He will be grateful in his heart. With his protection, you two will at least have no life. If there is any slight disturbance, you will immediately get on the boat and go to sea. Remember, if you want to see the glory of the Song Dynasty, you should save your life first. Otherwise, I will find someone to cooperate with the Song Dynasty. It will definitely not be as suitable as you two. I will be upset at that time and leave. You two are sinners of the Song Dynasty!" When the fleet was about to sail out of the Yongjiangkou, Wen Nan and Luo Youde who came to see off together should also get off the boat. The only thing Hong Tao was worried about was that they were bewitched by others and their behavior was too radical. So it was a topic in the end. As a turtle, just wait and see it off!

"Brother Hong, don't worry, I have figured it out for you over the years and learned some of your tricks. The warehouse will have a car and boat at any time. As long as I hear any unfavorable news, I will pull Brother Wen to the boat and run away." Luo Youde's face became thicker and thicker. When he said that he was not embarrassed at all, he still smiled.

"Don't worry, sir, Nan is not an impulsive person, just do everything according to what he said." Wen Nan's eyes turned red when he heard Hong Tao's words. Sometimes his husband was like his father, always worried about his personal safety, but he was older than him and could not express his gratitude in his heart with normal emotions. He was so suffocating.

"By the way, there is another thing I want to entrust. There is a perfume shop in Mingzhou called Zhuyeqing." Seeing Luo Youde and Wen Nan want to get off the boat, Hong Tao remembered another thing that needed to be reminded.

"Jiang Zhuyi Jiang family, right? I'm listening to this name almost every day these days. There may be no one in Mingzhou City who doesn't know her. I don't have to guess such a method. Only Brother Hong, you can do it. Don't worry, I won't treat her as an outsider if you don't say it." Luo Youde inserted it in before Hong Tao finished speaking, and helped Hong Tao say everything afterwards. There was a smirk on his face at this time. At this time, Wen Nan tilted his head to the other side and pretended not to hear it. Hong Tao was his husband. As a student, it was obviously inappropriate to discuss the husband's personal morality issues, and it was not appropriate to listen.

Hongze Lake, this is the name of Hong Tao's second son. It is unlucky to have such a lazy father, and even his son's name needs to be learned from. But Hong Tao doesn't think so. He thinks that the name Hongze Lake is very good, and it is very traditional, with a strong Hong style. Ze Lake, both words are water, and the Hong family likes water, so it's best to bring water not only when the surname is water, but also when the name is water.

Sefei, this is the name of Hong Tao's third son, and it is also the first child of Hong Tao and Senya. He followed his motherhood, which was Hong Tao's initiative. The reason was just to appease Senya who was far away from her hometown, so that she felt that her life was promising in the future and should not always regard herself as a foreigner.

Hong Fan, this is the name of Hong Tao's fourth daughter. She is the first child of Hong Tao and Baixiang, and is also a symbol of the integration of the Han family and the Li people in Jinhewan. With this child, the Li people began to immigrate to Jinhewan with confidence and boldness. Their resistance to the Han family was not that strong, at least on the surface, and they could still live in harmony. After all, Hong Tao herself admitted that her ancestors were Han people. Li Hongfan was named queen by the Li people in Jinhewan just over one year old. After she was over fifteen years old, she would officially become the leader of the Li people in Jinhewan. Of course, this leader is not officially recognized by the Jinhewan system. She is just a symbol within the ethnic group.

Hong Tao also has an eldest daughter, Hong Yu. She is almost six years old and has graduated from Jinhewan Kindergarten. She sent Hong Tao to the navigation school in Ximaozhou to attend elementary school. Except for the winter and summer vacations every year, she basically won’t go to Jinhewan. For this problem, Bozhu and Bofu have quarreled with Hong Tao. They think that it would be better to keep their daughter and granddaughter on the broken island that is helpless, so it is better to keep it at home to study. Anyway, her father is the most knowledgeable person in Jinhewan. Can’t he teach his daughter well?

"Rules! This is called rules! Since the rules are set, I have to take the lead in abide by them, otherwise why should I use rules? Whoever breaks the rules will be my enemy and I, big baby, father-in-law, do you two want to be my enemies?" Hong Tao hugged Bozhu to his legs in front of his father-in-law, pinched her face and answered Hong Yu's schooling matters. Then Old Bofu closed his eyes and turned away. He had no choice but to treat such a shameless son-in-law. Bozhu also blushed and was then moaned by Hong Tao. In addition to humming, he forgot what his daughter didn't have.

This time when I arrived in Jinhewan, Hong Tao did not want to go far away within half a year. The war in the Southern Song Dynasty was just like this for the time being. The Mongolian army retreated and he was not able to go to the sixth floor to fight against others. In this era, wars were very slow. Just raising food and grass would have to work hard for a long time. If you don’t win, you can’t bring so many things when you retreat. Therefore, the Mongolian army would definitely not be prepared if you want to launch a second round of attacks for less than half a year.

Carl also came from Cape Town. When talking about Matini, he looked proud. Although he said he had not bullied Lao Mai at all, Hong Tao clearly saw that the string of dog-headed gold that was originally hung on Matini's neck had already hung on Kale's neck.

"I exchanged this for five craftsmen and Matini, it's mine!" Hong Tao certainly could not tolerate the phenomenon of eating and taking cues. He reached out and grabbed the necklace and wanted to confiscate it. Carl was not convinced, grabbed the necklace with both hands and didn't want to give it, and wanted to argue.

"Craftsmen are also property of Jinhewan, and you have no right to control them! This time I will not pursue your use of power for personal gain. You can only confiscate the illegal income. If you are not convinced, then let's go to the Department of Justice and listen to what the legal experts say!" Hong Tao did not plan to rob his subordinates' finances on the dock, and he wanted to convince others with virtue!

"I'll give it to you. Your family is a natural pirate! Hong Yu stole my son's snacks in school, you stole my spoils here, and you're all robbers!" Carl bared his teeth, stared at him, his face turned red, and finally took the initiative to take off his necklace and threw it into Hong Tao's arms. Department of Justice? Go as if he didn't go! The director there was Cixi's elder brother, and their family were Hong Tao's lackeys. When he got there, he might have been more convicted, and he would be unable to deal with a string of necklaces.

"Hey, I said, Lao Ka, official business is business, private affairs are private affairs, and we cannot mix them together! Besides, we should not interfere with the children's affairs, do you think so?" Hong Tao checked the necklace seriously. It was indeed the string of Matini. Then he raised his hand and handed it to Sai Fei, who was riding on his neck. What kind of dog-headed gold or dog-headed gold, he would not ask for such things. The main reason is that his son wants to play with it, so he must snatch it! (To be continued.)
