"Hey, who are you with? Lao Wen, you judge me, am I wrong?" Li Niang's performance confused Hong Tao.

"Hehe... Your Majesty is right, but the place where your emblem is engraved is a bit awkward. He is a girl, and every time he goes to the toilet, your emblem is looking at him, which is a bit inappropriate..." Wen Nan was a bystander Qing. He quickly figured out the origin of Li Niang's temper, and then pointed to the emblem on the edge of the toilet and whispered to remind Hong Tao.

"Old Wen, you have learned bad things and you don't have these dirty thoughts in your heart, so you can't think of that aspect. For example, I didn't expect that you will fall into depravity!" Hong Tao blinked his eyes and walked out of the toilet with his hands behind his back. While walking, he also seriously criticized Wen Nan's ideological problems.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty, you are pure, we are all dirty... Let's talk about serious business. I was dragged by your guards as soon as I got off the boat and hadn't returned home yet." Wen Nan had long been used to his shameless emperor, His Majesty, and it was his motto that he was a shameless emperor. Anyone who argued with the emperor about this issue would undoubtedly lose.

"Well, this is the case for me. Now that the meeting is held, Minister Wen will first talk about the results of his negotiations with the Mongolian Empire. Minister Li will be responsible for recording, and then let's discuss how to act next." After entering the office, Hong Tao immediately smiled seriously. He sat in front of the desk and opened the notebook on the table like a dog. In fact, there is nothing on it. Every time he presided over the meeting, someone else would record it, and then copy it to him. It is absolutely impossible to write it yourself. That's how tiring it.

"As Your Majesty expected, a major change occurred in the Mongol Empire. Cixi is still investigating the specific situation. Judging from the current situation, there are already great differences among the top leaders of the Mongol Empire. Some people are eager to exchange prisoners of war, especially the prince. Some people are not willing to go back too early, probably to use the prince's capture to criticize anyone. I think the Khan of the Mongol Empire should be the focus of this disagreement." Wen Nan was not polite to Hong Tao, and directly snatched a cigar from Hong Tao, regardless of Hong Tao's desire to kill. He lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and then slowly began to report his work.

"What is the result of the negotiation? Do they agree to open the port?" Li Niang waved her hand to drive away the smoke in front of her. She hated the medicine Hong Tao took. It was very choking. Now even Wen Nan has taken it. Could it be that both of them are lazy? She is very suspicious.

"In principle, we agreed to open the Mizhou Port, but they had a condition that required our merchants not to walk around Mizhou Port at will, and could only buy and sell goods in the area they designated. If we leave this area, we cannot guarantee the safety of our merchants." Wen Nan and Hong Tao learned a lot of bad habits. When they saw Li Niang driving away the smoke, they not only did not restrain themselves, but also deliberately vomited again, and then secretly laughed at Li Niang's dark face.

"No problem, agree to their request and start normal trade as soon as possible. The Royal Fleet is currently expanding, and Phuket and Cape Town Port will also need new shipyards and supporting facilities, and money is needed everywhere. Our rum has no sales channels in the Song Dynasty, and there is no profit on those small poor countries. In two years, when Minister Huang's corn harvest is good, the production of high-altitude wine will have to double. We need the huge market of the Mongolian Empire." Hong Tao did not want to spy on Mongolia's intelligence in this way, and he did not need to spy on it. As long as the other party did not see his true intention, it would be irrelevant even if the conditions were more harsh.

"The first batch of merchants in the past should not use our own. The Song Dynasty court is unreliable, and the Mongolians are the same. Let the middlemen try the waters through Minister Li's channels. In fact, this method was originally thought out by Minister Li." Seeing that Li Niang had not yet calmed down, Hong Tao wanted to show kindness through praise. This girl is indeed worthy of praise.

"My job is for the empire to make a profit. There is nothing to praise. I think some people are not doing their jobs all day long and should be criticized for sensationalism! Minister Wen can come to my office to find me. I have other meetings to hold. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Unfortunately, Li Niang didn't appreciate it at all, so she just pointed at Hong Tao and said that he was the one who was not doing his job. Before Hong Tao could tell if there was anything else, she covered her nose and walked out quickly.

"Tsk tsk... I dare to shy my face in front of the emperor. Your Majesty, are you and her..." Wen Nan was a little surprised by Li Niang's performance. Then the gossip fire in his heart was about to burn.

"Stop it! It doesn't matter if you slander me. I'm still a big girl, and I have to accumulate virtue when speaking!" Hong Tao couldn't listen to this, as if he was so licentious that he could not have women around him, but one of them was the other.

"A big girl like this is so amazing. Who dares to marry her in the future?" Wen Nan wrote this time. Hong Tao never lie about the relationship between men and women, or he is shameless at all, and he has no interest in hiding it.

"It's great. When you marry it home, you can do housework and go out to be your own side. Whoever marryes will be convinced? It's great to stay at home all day to eat, drink and have fun!" Hong Tao didn't quite agree with Wen Nan's point of view. He believed that there is nothing wrong with marrying a strong woman. Whether it's good or not depends on who you marry, but on how you position yourself. If you think a man must be better than a woman, then go find a little jade.

"It's time for me to go home, you'd better eat, drink and have fun by yourself." Wen Nan was speechless about Hong Tao's character. An imperial emperor actually yearned for a soft meal so much. No one believed him when he said it, but this was the fact.

In the last month of 1240, Bo Jiao took five armed cargo ships to sea again. He will temporarily replace Ci Rong, who is waiting for birth at home, as commander of the supply fleet. The fleet will carry a large number of technicians and equipment, with the destinations of Phuket and Cape Town. After handing these people and cargo to Metini, he will return to his overseas territory, Kalamba Port, to continue to be governor.

He also brought dozens of imperial officials on his ship, who belonged to the Imperial Navy, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Supervision. Not only did they set up imperial branches in the Port of Kalamba, but Cape Town. They served every three years, representing the Golden River Empire government, which was not under the jurisdiction of the overseas territorial governor, nor had the right to interfere with the policies of overseas territories. Instead, they were a kind of cooperation and supervision relationship, and a means of monitoring by the imperial government over the overseas territorial governor.

"Don't participate too much in the local power struggle, especially the issue of inheritance of the throne. Don't express your opinion easily. Although you are the king's son-in-law, your every word and action will be interpreted by others as the attitude of the imperial government. But you cannot stay out of the matter. You must choose the most favorable heir to the throne for the empire. The specific way depends on your own wisdom. My uncle can't help you. You are already a high-ranking official in the empire, and you have to make your own decisions about many things in the future. In fact, I am the same as my uncle. I have never been an emperor before, and it's not now." When Bo Jiao left, Hong Tao personally went to the dock to see him off, and he gave him some advice. He didn't know when he would see him again after leaving. You can't always run back in a warship without being ordered.

"Please help me teach them well, at least not worse than Sefei. Also, I must notify me of war in the future. I also want to set up a statue in the square in the middle of Jinhe City, so that the children can often present flowers to me." Bo Jiao grinned, waved at the Bo family behind Hong Tao, and then muttered in Hong Tao's ear, pulled his wife and turned to the springboard.

This time, Bojiao left the twins in Jinhecheng to go to school. Although his princess and daughter-in-law were not very happy, he was much better than compassion. He had the final say in the family and outside. The culprit of this situation was Hong Yu. This troublemaker would take his younger brother and sister to play with Bojiao's children as soon as he returned to Jinhecheng.

There was a gap in this game. No matter what aspect it was measured, Hong Yu, Hong Jinhe, Sefei and even Hong Yage, who were two years younger, had a wide range of knowledge than Bojiao's twins, which made Bojiao very depressed. He believed that this was caused by his educational level, and he refused to admit that he had bad genes, so he insisted on leaving his two children in Jinhe City and going to the navigation school with Hong Tao's children.

Hong Tao did not object to Bo Jiao leaving the child in Jinhe City. Anyway, the child's grandfather and great-grandfather wanted the child to keep wandering around. The primary school education in Jinhe City is indeed more systematic and comprehensive than that in overseas territorial schools.

As for the statue he mentioned, it is actually the monument of Chen Qihong and Captain Gao. It stands in front of the library and stands side by side with Old Man Rong. The monument not only contains reliefs of the two of them, but also the names of the 331 officers and sailors who died in this naval battle. The construction of these two monuments was approved by the Imperial Parliament, but Hong Tao insisted on funding from the royal government, first financially allocated funds by the imperial government, and then he would return it slowly.

Although this battle, named the Three Kingdoms Naval Battle, is on the surface for the future of the empire, Hong Tao feels that most of it was initiated for himself, and he is the manipulator behind the scenes and should be responsible for these people. Of course, such words cannot be said, they can only be thought about it silently in their hearts and then do things that are useless in order to calm their hearts.

After seeing Bo Jiao away, Hong Tao was completely idle. Once the design drawings of the new ship were completed, he, a standard dealer, could not get involved in the construction work, and it would be better to go to the shipyard less. Whoever made him the emperor of the empire was there, and there were several guards following him wherever he saw him, and anyone who saw him had to stop working and say hello, which greatly affected his work efficiency.
