"Don't, we are both smart people, this is the main reason why I like you.?(?Net.com I like being with smart people because it is easier to talk to smart people. Is it easier to know on purpose? What I mean has been made clear. You can bully Carl, but it is not allowed to affect his emotions. You are very important to me, he is equally important. I think you should have a way to get along more harmoniously. This problem is over here. I am not here to resolve the dispute for you, and there are more important things for me to come here. At present, I need a large number of slaves. Can you help me get it?" Whether Jiang Zhuyi is happy or not, Hong Tao still needs to explain this problem. Friends, women, helpers, and myself. Since Jiang Zhuyi is a smart person, he should be able to handle this relationship well. If not, then she is not a smart person, and she cannot get along with herself in the way of a smart person. This principle cannot be changed.

"How much do you want?" Jiang Zhuyi is indeed different from other women. After testing Hong Tao's bottom line, he immediately stopped trying to touch things that he could not touch, as if he had never had the conversation just now.

"How much does it cost! I guess Carl and I have gone apart. He will be back soon. Then you ask him not to rest for too long, and transport the slaves to me immediately. As long as he can, he will transport as much as he can." Hong Tao knew what Carl had left for so long. He must have gone to Cape Town to recruit slaves, and then took the opportunity to transport oil to Sun City to send it to Fort Mia. This trip took tens of thousands of kilometers, and it took half a year to stay in the three ports. But in front of Jiang Zhuyi, he could not tell Carl's secret, otherwise this woman might have to use this as a braid again. How could she torture Carl?

"Give me three months, I can get one thousand to one thousand five hundred people. Don't you have to ask for black people?" As soon as he talked about serious things, Jiang Zhuyi became that capable, decisive and perfect strong woman. He turned his eyes and reported the specific number.

"It's a human being, you can do it if you can work." Hong Tao smiled knowingly. From Jiang Zhuyi's question, she didn't plan to get back a black slave. As for where she did it and how she did it, Hong Tao didn't ask any questions.

"How to solve the problem of Flanders Hanseatic? I only have one warship and three whaling ships here. The good sailor and the good ship Carl have taken them away. Even if there are good ships, I will not command the naval battle..." After solving Hong Tao's problem, Jiang Zhuyi also had her own problems. She wanted to use Hong Tao's power to drive away this annoying Flanders Hanseatic in one fell swoop, so as not to make trouble in the long run.

"You still don't know what to do? Then I will teach you how to fight in the sea now?" Hong Tao seemed to have not taken the matter of Flanders Hansea in mind, and began to smile and be smirk again.

"I don't want to go to the boat, it's wet and dirty..." Jiang Zhuyi subconsciously fiddled with her skirt, as if she was on the deck now, with water all over the ground, and she had to walk on tiptoe.

"You can also teach in the bedroom...hehehe..." Hong Tao pointed to the roof. Jiang Zhuyi said when introducing Baron Castle just now that her bedroom is on the highest place on the third floor.

"That doesn't necessarily mean who taught who...hehehe." Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi are used to describe the two ingredients, which are similar in taste.

Hong Tao did not stay in Carl Fort for a long time. The next day he boarded an armed merchant ship and went to Naples. Jiang Zhuyi couldn't explain the matter about Flanders Hanseatic. After all, she was just a shrewd businessman and a woman. She was very interested in some things, so she had no way to understand. It seems that in the future, Cixi would really have to teach her how to do business and do information. But this is all a story. Now Hong Tao is going to find Frederick II and ask him how much he knows about Flanders Hanseatic. After all, he is the emperor and the other side is still under the jurisdiction of the empire. Even if he doesn't care, he has to know something.

Compared to two years ago, Frederick II seemed to be younger, more energetic and much cheerful. Before Hong Tao could enter the palace hall, he heard his laughter, which was completely different from before.

"William, you are getting younger and younger. What good thing is that making you so happy? Let's share it with me." Hong Tao may have been an emperor and came from later generations. There was no idea that the emperor needed to respect him in his mind. He pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, so casually that even the guards didn't come to stop him. At the same time, he was calling Frederick II's nickname, just like the nicknames of people who are familiar with each other in China. Hey, dog!

"...Hong, you are also the emperor. This is the place where I meet with the ministers..." There were not only the emperor in the hall, but also seven or eight emperors' close ministers, as if they were listening to the emperor telling them something. Hong Tao pushed the door and entered, his voice was still so loud that he scared everyone present. Frederick II had to put down what he had in his hand and expressed his dissatisfaction in a slightly reproachful tone.

"Sorry, I forgot that this is your palace. You guys talk first, I'll wait for you in college... William, can you show me the things you hold?" Hong Tao was also quite embarrassed. If someone broke in like this when he was in a meeting, he was calling his nickname, and he might be scolding him.

But when he was in, he couldn't close the door and go out, and he still had to say a few polite words. Just as he finished speaking and was about to turn around and walk out, something suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes that made his heart beat violently was on the table in front of Frederick II. So he walked back, and although he was asking for the other party's consent, he had reached out to get the thing.

"No, no, no, this is the secret of the empire, it..." This time, Frederick II did not spoil Hong Tao, and flashed and blocked the table, trying to stop Hong Tao from getting it.

"What a secret, do you know this is plagiarism? Is it a musket? Is it transmitted from the Golden Horde, Khwarezm, or the Great Cannibal? Let me see if this thing is imitated like it? Tell you, it is known to me, it has existed ten years ago." Frederick II, this little body, could not block Hong Tao. While verbally attacking, he reached out and pulled it. He had to dodge it if he wanted to dodge it. The thing on the table came to Hong Tao.

"You know?!" Frederick II made Hong Tao say he was confused, or what Hong Tao said was very reliable, which made him a little convinced. He didn't care about the fact that he was being distracted and asked the answer directly.

"I guarantee it with my personality! Who brought this thing to you? Go and ask him if it came from the east." Hong Tao was holding a flint-rod in his hand, which looked almost exactly the same as the export-type exported by the Jinhe Empire in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, why would he be stared at by Hong Tao's little eyes more than ten meters away? It's so familiar.

"No, no, no, no...oh...bang..." Hong Tao not only looked familiar, but also familiar to use. He quickly loaded the bullet and aimed at the wooden door of the hall. As soon as Frederi II reacted, a deafening roar sounded in the hall, ten times louder than the sound of shooting in the wild, and everyone's ears were buzzing.

"Everyone, come and see, the barrel of this gun is not as good as the quality of the bullets, and the bullets deviate severely. I aimed at the door on the left, but the bullet hit the door frame on the right. It was only less than twenty meters away. If it was placed on the battlefield, it would be considered luck if it didn't hit the friendly forces." Hong Tao did not give the people in the hall time to react, so he strode to the door, looked for the position where the shot was shot, and began to find faults.

"Your Majesty, this kind of gun is not used to shoot alone, it must be lined up in a row during combat. If there are a hundred lead bullets flying, it can make up for the accuracy. Its advantage is that it does not require the physical strength of the archer, nor does it require strict training like an archer. I only learned for half a day to shoot continuously. His Majesty's country has equipped this weapon very early, and it is unfair to say this." Some people felt it was unfair to Hong Tao's evaluation, so they stood up to defend the musket.

"...I remember you are a painter, why did you play weapons? Isn't it good at Imperial University? Why are you back?" Hong Tao, who stood up and spoke, knew one of the more than ten scholars who followed Sayed to study abroad in the Song Dynasty.

"His Majesty the Emperor may have left your country for too long. The university you founded was paradise, but now it seems that outsiders like me are not very welcome." The scholar seemed to have left the imperial capital after knowing that Hong Tao abdicated. When talking about the Imperial University in Kalamba Port, the expression on his face was a little complicated.

"What do you mean? Why is Imperial University..." Hong Tao didn't quite understand his words, why does Imperial University not welcome him?

"Okay, OK, let's come here today... Hong, you embarrass me, and you deceived your friends! You would rather let Carl do those crossbows than mention such a more powerful weapon." Frederick II may not understand the conversation between Hong Tao and the scholar. He thought that the two of them were going to argue about the musket, so he quickly came forward to become a sergeant. After everyone left the hall, he sternly accused Hong Tao of not being friends enough.

"If my sincerity to my friends will harm the interests of my country, then I can only choose not to be sincere. Don't forget, William, you and I are both imperial emperors. Even if I abdicate, my son is still the emperor. You won't want your friend to be a traitor!" Hong Tao did not admit a word about Frederick II's accusation.

"Okay, I won't pursue this matter anymore, but if you break the door of my palace, should you give some compensation? This has nothing to do with whether it is the emperor, right?" Frederick II knew that Hong Tao could not argue about this issue, so he simply changed his approach.
