Chapter 5 Too Many Minds

Chat? Not chatting, I just say it myself, that's a storytelling. They don't understand what they say, so what can I talk about? Women and children are eating alone at the back of the tent. Hong Tao and Bo family, and Chen family are sitting in the tent, which is the main table. They don't have a table to eat, just sit barefoot on the board. Hong Tao hates this very much because he is tall, so he has to bend over like a big shrimp. Fortunately, he went to the sports school for several years when he was a child, otherwise he would be exhausted from his waist.

"Brother has studied?" No one else has the same good appetite as Hong Tao. They seem to prefer eating indica rice and are not very interested in seafood. They just watch Hong Tao perform alone. Chen Mingen picked up the wine bowl and looked at Hong Tao who was fighting with crab legs, and asked in a daze.

"I have read it. I have been to school in Australia for 10 years, but the Chinese characters on our side are different from those on this side. I can recognize most of them, but they are connected, and the meaning may not be understood correctly." Hong Tao still couldn't adapt to his speaking habits at this time. Fortunately, these Dan family members were not very particular. When they heard the strange words, they smiled.

"10 years of school! Why don't you go to the exam to get a fame and fortune, and you still have to come and fish?" Chen Mingen's wine bowl was put to his mouth and took it down again, looking at Hong Tao incredibly.

"On our side, you can only find better jobs after 10 years of school. Being an official does not rely on studying, but on everyone's voting. This official not only needs to be able to read and read, but also needs to understand some professional knowledge... For example, the official who manages shipbuilding not only needs to be able to read and read, but also needs to understand the general process of shipbuilding and know what kind of craftsman to work in what position. If he is not well managed, then in two years, everyone will not need him. Choose him and replace others." Hong Tao still said casually, not daring to say that he had been studying for 16 years, but he still couldn't find any good job. This is because of the ability of people to accept at this time. Who would have thought that 10 years of saying that he would have said a little too much in 10 years. Just make the mistake a little more mysterious and say that the illusory Australia is a little bit more extraordinary. If you do something extraordinary in the future, it will be easy for everyone to understand.

"Your grandfather is the hometown we selected, and there is such a place? What else does the official do?" Bofu also understood Hong Tao's words and pointed at Chen Mingen and asked Hong Tao.

"Official?" Hong Tao did not explain the election to them, but he heard a more representative word of the times.

"It's my emperor of the Song Dynasty! Let's call him the official family." Chen Mingen said while clasping his fists towards the coast.

"I wonder what year this year it was? Which official family was?" Hong Tao finally knew what dynasty he had traveled to, the Song Dynasty! But the Song Dynasty divided the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, so I still have to ask.

"In the year of Wuzi and the first year of Shaoding, the official family should be Lizong. I can't remember what it is. It's all his Zhao family." Chen Mingen took a big sip of wine, and seemed not very cold to the court at this time.

"I heard that our Song State is fighting the north, and is the capital still Tokyo now?" Hong Tao knew nothing about the Shaoding era name. Who was Song Lizong, and what year was the first year of Shaoding. He had no history in his mind. He only knew that the Southern Song Dynasty began in the early 12th century, so he had to ask.

"That's all a hundred years ago. My ancestors drove south to avoid the golden man. Like you, they planned to sell goods to make a living. However, the natives here did not accept foreigners and did not speak. In desperation, they had to enter the Dan family and make a living by relying on the sea." Chen Mingen not only gave Hong Tao a vague answer, but also told his family background, with a sad face, and he tilted his neck to dry a bowl of wine.

"Oh..." Hong Tao didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only keep his head silent. At the same time, he thought silently. The Southern Song Dynasty was founded for more than a hundred years, and it was the beginning of the 13th century. How long will it take before the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols? This has to be calculated. The Ming Dynasty should have been established in the middle of the 14th century, and the Yuan Dynasty was only more than 90 years old. Hong Tao could barely think about these historical knowledge. So doing a simple subtraction made Hong Tao a little depressed, as if it had not been away from Yashan for decades. It seems that he had traveled to an unstable era, and it was probably difficult to survive for the rest of his life.

"I'm not afraid of the northerners! They are far away. We have a boat, and as long as we have a sea, we can live!" Seeing Hong Tao, I was also dull, and Xiaoer patted his shoulder and patted the boat board, encouraging Hong Tao in less fluent Chinese words.

"My second brother is right. The sea is our home, and no one can take it. Come on, I would like to give you a bowl of money. Thank you for taking me as a foreigner." Hong Tao thought about it, it was true that whoever was the emperor had a half-cent relationship with him. According to his historical knowledge reserves and personality, if he really threw it to Lin'an, he would probably be arrested by the government in a few days and he would be a detailed work.

Living habits, speaking styles, dressing, and every move is different from others! This thing can’t be changed in a short time, or even in a lifetime. Now, by accident, it is a good thing to be involved in the Dan family. At least they won’t kill themselves because they are too different from them. This is a very celebratory thing. No matter whether the wine is hard to drink or not, let’s have a bowl!

"Brother, although you are a foreigner, we Chen Mingen and our family will not deceive you. We originally wanted you to enter our company boat and be our junior, but after you have studied and joined the Dan family, you can't make a living, and you will be cut off your fame and shameful to your ancestors. We thought about it, it's better not to do this. When my in-laws come tomorrow, we will make up for you. You should go to Quanzhou to see it. If there are ships to Nanyang, you can follow them back." Everyone's emotions just adjusted, and Chen Mingen spoke again.
