"As far as I am concerned, I really want to stay here and continue to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor, but I still have my own territory to take care of. I will go back in two months. Please tell His Majesty the Emperor that our agreement will always be valid. At the latest next year, I will arrive here with more goods and merchant ships from the Song Empire. At that time, this port will be the most dazzling pearl of the empire and the largest wallet of His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, as my representative and sincerity, Baron Jiang will stay here to run her family's business. Please take care of the city lord. Next time I come, I will definitely be grateful to the city lord."

Of course, Hong Tao would not stay here to work for Carl's cousin. Not to mention giving himself the title of city lord, even if he gave the imperial emperor to himself, he would not have the time to serve him. Next year, he planned to come again, and also planned to bring the Jinhewan merchant ship with cargo, but the purpose was not to come here to contribute bricks and tiles to the imperial emperor's special economic zone, but to dig out the corners of Europe. With the goods coming, there were a large amount of gold coins, and the first credit bank in the actual sense would be opened in this special zone. The prosperity seen by eyes is sometimes not real, and the real essence is to carry out financial invasion!

"Let's go, this time I won't take the original route, the course is 240, and walk along the coastline, so that the trainees can gather and prepare for depth shooting." Seeing Hermann leave the Golden River with the last batch of gold, Hong Tao issued a new order to the navigator. Soon a group of little kids holding sextant and right-angle ruler ran to the back deck to assemble. These trainees are all graduates of the Navigation School, and their main task on the ship is to conduct various measurements and draw new seas.

Picture. Although those old sailors are a hundred times better than their sailors in terms of navigation skills, they are not as good as those of serious and professional trainees. When these knowledgeable and experienced half-children grow up for a few years, Hong Tao's naval officer level will gradually change, and these children are more loyal and fanatical to the Jinhewan system. They are 100% affected by Hong Tao, and are 100% Jinhewan people in the root.

After the Golden River came out of the Port of Genoa, it headed west along the coastline, and stopped and stopped. It took half a month to go back to the east coast of Spain. Now there are more than 200 slaves on the construction site of Carl Fort. These are all obtained by Sadat, and there will be some in the future. Moreover, Carl has a fixed supply point. No city across the strait dares to refuse his ship's docking. The food and fruits are the best, and the prices are the cheapest. The Berbers only ask these two sailboats to stop attacking again. If you lose, you will lose.

"Look, this is my Cixi, two! Hehehe..." While Hong Tao was patrolling the inner floor of Carl Fort, which was almost completed, Carl suddenly came out with two North Africans and showed Hong Tao his gains these days.

"You should be careful, don't let them join their fellow countrymen to kill you." Hong Tao did not object to Carl's establishment of his own team here, and it was okay to learn how to manage slaves by himself, but you should not be anxious or careless about this thing, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"No, they are not from the same tribe as those people. They are their slaves. I not only saved them, but also took their families over, and then let them be my Cixi and manage those people for me. Your method is very useful. In more than a month, the inner city will be completely built. At that time, I will teach them how to become a soldier. In the future, they will be my Cixi. You have one, I have two!" Carl learned quite solidly, knew how to control people, and had plans for the future.

"Well, this is your fiefdom document. The title will be available in a few days. Now you are a noble master with fiefdom, castle, and title. Let me tell me. I need to send it back to you if Mia and her children. How about your family building a small kingdom here? Let Mia be the queen. In the future, your twins will be the prince and the princess. Your highness." Hong Tao felt that Carl should have this wisdom and don't need to care too much. If he is so stupid that he will be killed by his servant, it will be useless to say too much. After all, he cannot follow him for the rest of his life and will be separated sooner or later. The problem is to know what he thinks and how to plan for the future.

"...Let them stay in Jinhewan first. I don't know if I can go back to the past. I regret it this time. I'm not used to many things. In comparison, I still like the days of running around the sea." Carl squatted on the ground, scratched his red hair and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't determine what to do in the future. This is Hong Tao's most sinister place. Anyone who has lived in Jinhewan for a long time is difficult to get used to life elsewhere. That modern taste cannot be easily erased.

"Okay, adapt first, I will tell Mia that you stayed in Cape Town for one year... The Malacca cannot be left for you, you can only leave six 80 cannons to defend the castle. This weapon cannot be too familiar to the people here. Have you ever thought about how to develop your territory in the future? You can't live by robbery all the time, right? Without enough money, you don't have enough manpower to defend here, let alone develop." Hong Tao agrees with Carl's choice. It's a more suitable choice to wait for a year to see the situation, but Carl doesn't seem to have any ideas on how to develop the territory of Carl Fort.

"You will definitely help me think about it, so I won't worry about it anymore. If there is no ship, I will train them to be soldiers. If there is no money, I will borrow it from my cousin. He will still give me this amount of money." Sure enough, Carl thought too simply about the future.

"Actually you can continue to whaling. I will take the Malacca away. Those two schooners will be left to you. I have seen it. I will slightly change the masts and sailing gears and treat them as whaling ships. There is no problem with it. There is a group of whales on the Canary Islands, and there is a Tropic of Cancer. The waves are very small, which is very suitable for this kind of offshore ship sailing. There is no danger. If the two ships are available, you can catch at least two whales every month, and then take them back to be boiled into whale oil and send them to Genoa. Jiang and Lao Luo have built two shops in the city, which can help you. Also, let me tell you good news. Jiang is also staying here and not going back to the Song Dynasty. If you do the buying, ask her, she is much better than you." Hong Tao felt that Carl could start his own business by whaling like he was in Jinhewan.

Whale oil is more demanded in Europe than in the Song Dynasty. Many noble castles are illuminated with torches. Not too expensive, and the large number of whale oil can give them light. Who doesn’t want their castle to be bright, but they really can’t burn candles. In addition, through whaling operations, Carl can also train a group of sailors who are familiar with the operation of composite sailing tools. Once he is preparing to invade Europe on a large scale, the Cape Town Shipyard will soon produce cargo ships, but sailors cannot rely solely on Jinhewan.

"I just said, your method is good. I am so familiar with whaling. I have Miss Jiang help me. There is nothing missing! Miss Jiang stays here, aren't you afraid that he will be kidnapped by those nobles? You may not know those nobles. They have nothing to do when they are full. You can go to the door of Miss Jiang's store for a month to deliver and recite poems!" Carl was really easy to fool. He sat on the two big rocks that Cixi carried him over, and was 100% satisfied with the ideas Hong Tao gave him.

"Don't worry about this, let's talk about your business first. It's not enough to just be able to catch whales. You still have to have an army. It's not safe to hire mercenaries. Remember the hand I did? If there are whales, you can continue to do it. You are a soldier and know more about the war here. If everyone in your army is equipped with two handbags, do you feel it's enough?" Hong Tao also raised his butt and asked Carl's two servants to stuff a stone underneath as a seat, and then talked to Carl about the issue of military construction.

If the number of artillery is insufficient, the defense of the fortress depends on people. If the hand can be used, Hong Tao will be relieved. The number of things is small and not scary. Once there are too many things, such as hundreds or hundreds of them are fired together, which is no different from the mechanism. At this time, the armor of the European Knights is all chain mail, and the thing is useful in defending chopping, but it has no effect on puncture damage. An arrow is a hole.

"Then don't even keep artillery for me. I'm afraid they'll learn it secretly, so I'll leave more bullets for me. I'll continue to use the grenade launcher on the ship, which can be installed on a whaling ship. It's enough to use it. But you have to leave me some craftsmen, I don't know how to make those things." After Hong Tao reminded me, Carl finally thought about the smell. Instead of asking for a few temptation guns and being scared all day long, it's better to get more big slingshots to put them on the castle and the ship, and with enough hands, you won't be afraid of anyone coming. Even if the other party has a sling cannon and a catapult, it's useless. The place where this castle is built cannon cannot be used to set up so many troops. As for the sea, Carl never thinks he's afraid of anyone at sea.

"Well, I will leave you fifty craftsmen. They will build larger hands, which are longer than before. Although it is inconvenient to carry, it is suitable for smaller ones in the army. Well, I will first change the two ships for you first. Don't rush to pull the ash. As long as the inner fortress is built, the outer ones are not in a hurry, you can build it slowly by yourself. Draw a hundred slaves for me and build a shipyard next to the dock. If there are any minor problems in the future, there will be a place to repair it." Hong Tao is not good at expressing any parting feelings, especially with big men like Carl. He is more willing to use practical actions to help Carl gain a foothold. He thinks this is more effective than saying a lot of heart-to-heart talk.
