Chapter 318 Don’t miss my dad

I am so busy that I don’t know how long it takes. In a blink of an eye, nearly 20 days have passed since Zhao Fubo captured the Aden province. Except for the week I first waited for Martin, these 20 days were busy like a fire in the other 16 days.

The elections in the cities below were rampant, but fortunately, the cavalry sent to the cities were still very quiet. The slaves of the surrendered soldiers in the city of Aden have been sent to Socotra to speed up the construction.

Some cavalry were also sent there for retraining, so that they could replenish the Arab Legion in the future. The only task to be completed was to replenish the 1,000 Song Yulin Army after each battle, and then replenish them completely.

Abu Bakker's fleet was modified on Thira Island. Matt's fleet went to Pilin Island to establish a military port that guarded the exit of the Red Sea. I believe that as long as it occupied it, the entire Red Sea would be almost completely controlled.

The Red Sea, including Suez City, does not have that much transportation capacity. Suez City has no excessive value except the end of the canal shipping route connecting the Nile River and the Red Sea. But there will be another city that Zhao Fubo needs to occupy.

However, this time, he did not plan to occupy the military. As mentioned earlier, most of his troops were very busy at this time, including the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty, which were designated as the defenders of Aden. The Arab Legion was scattered and supervised the elections in various cities.

Zhao Fubo really didn't have much military power, and even the only one that could be used by the navy was the warship led by Abu Bakr, with Sean as the captain. Because his warship was the first to complete the transformation of the drive system, if Zhao Fubo wanted to go to Egypt, he would not be able to hold many people with just one warship.

In addition, Zhao Fubo had another headache because Teacher Martin rejected the position of prime minister. Moreover, what he refused was not only neatly and neatly, but also a little gloating.

"Hmph, I think I'm stupid, so I don't become the prime minister. Although the power is quite strong, it's a position that can exhaust people. If I want me to go, I will have to take my life as an old bone! I only care about the Academy of Sciences. Of course, you should worry about other things. However, as a teacher, I would like to remind you two things. One is that if you invite the owner of Shu, I think it's a good idea. Because it is obviously unreliable to hold the election now, so he can do it first and then talk about it in the future.

In addition, since you want the rule of law and technology to establish a country, you need more professional talents, and the Academy of Sciences will be such an institution. I want you to ensure that all the funds, all talents, all the green lights it needs. And I am here for the time being, and when the Lord of Shu Island comes, I will go to Socotra Island."

After finally getting to the front of his teacher Martin, Zhao Fubo finally calmed down. Unfortunately, he was about to leave after a few days of reunion.

"Hey, Teacher Martin, don't rush to leave. When you get married, go to Socotra Island again. Anyway, there's no rush to be in one or two days!"

Zhao Fubo said that he is not short of money for the time being. Even if the money under the Aden Fortress is not made, he will not be short of it. Because of the occupation of the Aden provinces, nearby provinces will give some face to Zhao Fubo's merchant ships. Some provinces simply do not charge Zhao Fubo's taxes, but instead have to invest in his factory. Anyway, Zhao Fubo did not stop him from the civilian products company of the island of Ferai.

In a short time, the news was sent from the Light Newspaper that nearby provinces adopted this method of cooperation. After all, those who collect taxes might still have to be greedy. If they don’t collect taxes and shareholding, the money will be their own. After all, everyone in the world is not stupid at all.

Just when Zhao Fubo said he was not in a hurry, there were anxious shouts coming from outside the door.

"Hey, my surname is Zhao, do you say anything counts! When is it now? At most, there are more than ten days left. What are you going to save my father!"

Before the speaker could finish his words, he rushed into the place where Zhao Fubo lived. This was the room of Governor Ashleff. In the large living room, Zhao Fubo removed the flashy things and placed a large table in a corner of the hall, which was the place for the meeting.

In the other corner is a group of sofas, which is the place for conversation. In addition, he set up a group of weapons to serve as the martial arts hall.

Sophia, who had just rushed in with her long sword, pointed at Zhao Fubo with her sword, looking at her big sword that would have killed him.

"Yes, Fu Bo, if you don't hurry up, you will miss the time to save Sophia's father!"

Martin whispered a little reminder, which made Zhao Fubo come to his senses.

"You put down the sword first, I've already prepared this matter. I'm afraid that I'm too happy, so I didn't tell you."

When Zhao Fubo said these words, he tried to prolong his tone so that his head could turn fast enough to make his mind turn fast enough to calm Sophia's anger. Indeed, since the victory of the Battle of Aden, he has been really happy and has no time to pass. Just count by finger, it has not been a few days since the rescue of the Governor of the Cote Provincial.

"Um……"

Zhao Fubo looked at his teacher Martin and hoped that he would give him a ticker. But Martin was also grinning at this moment. He didn't expect that Zhao Fubo had not sent anyone to redeem the governor.

"Well... this... well, let me tell you. Where is I, I plan to take you and Teacher Martin and my teacher's wife to rescue your father. Now that we have the money from the Aden Fortress, we can easily redeem your father. Then..."

Martin smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhao Fubo was so lying smoothly. It seemed that Socotra Island could not be returned for the time being, so he had to fulfill the lie to the students first.

"No, Sophia, do you think our teachers and students are like such unreliable people? We will not delay such an important thing. It's not that there are more than ten days left. This is about ten days away from Suez City... It's about ten days' voyage. How big is our ship passing by? It's very fast. We will arrive in a few days!"

Although Sophia was holding a sword in her hand, the tears in her eyes were definitely not fake. Judging from her appearance, let alone killing Zhao Fubo, she was very sad and she was very likely to give herself a sword.

Zhao Fubo looked at Sophia, feeling a little anxious and embarrassed. He never thought that the battle in Aden would not be over. The matter of originally going to save Sophia's father was delayed again and again.

Sophia is right now, and it's only a dozen days later, and the deadline is coming. The problem that was originally planned to be solved by military force now seems to have to be solved with money. Fortunately, there is money in the Aden Fortress, even if it is not used to use the buried part, the existing ones are enough to confiscate the family of the city lords of the Aden province.

"You're serious?"

Although she was crying when she spoke, Zhao Fubo still heard the anger in her tone and responded quickly.

"Really, really! Do you think I'm like a lying person?"

Sophia looked up and looked at Zhao Fubo again, her eyes full of hope.

"What you said is true, otherwise...or..."

As he said that, he thought that Zhao Fubo had agreed to it well, but now he has been delaying for so long. In anger, he continued.

"Or I'll die for you!"

Looking at Sophia's back as she ran out, Zhao Fubo casually pushed the blame to the teacher.

"Teacher Martin, it's all your fault. Look, after I captured the Aden province, you ran from Socotra for seven days, and I didn't even have a belt management for half a month. After all, I spent all my spare time!"

Of course, Martin knew that this was Zhao Fubo's words, but how could Martin, who was not actually old, take this breath?

"Hey, boy, please make it clear, you didn't make it. I see that Shu Yuer is not by your side, look at your mess this day!"

In order for Martin to stop mentioning Shu Yuer's affairs, Zhao Fubo had to change the topic.

"Oh, let's hurry up. Now I'll ask Juliana to withdraw money. Then we all take Sean's boat tonight. Anyway, the drive system on his boat has been installed, and it's not going to fight. Teacher Martin, you go with us, just treat it as a traveler and get married! As for the Aden province, I want my elder brother to guard it. When the owner of Shu comes, he will let him be the prime minister and take charge of the business."

Zhao Fubo said it quickly and urgently, as if he had already planned all this. However, Martin knew that in addition to his good military planning, Zhao Fubo often had urgent wisdom in other matters, but he lacked long-term plans.

"Fortunately, I'm not old yet, and I still have the opportunity to teach you slowly!"

Before Martin could finish his thoughts, Zhao Fubo remembered another thing.

"Oh, by the way, Teacher Martin, there is something I haven't told you. Before the Aden War, Pu Jinshu said he planned to go back to the Song Dynasty. Teacher Martin, please read..."

Martin has heard of Pu Jinshu's return to the Song Dynasty. He knew in his heart that Pu Jinshu's return to the Song Dynasty was population, talent, and business path. It was also considered Zhao Fubo and Pu Jinshu, with a long-term focus.

If you were not thinking about returning to the Song Dynasty in the future, how could you rely on the population of the Song people to change the population composition of Zhao Fubo's power? If you were not worried about returning to the Song Dynasty in the future, how could you increase your resistance due to different skin and hair, how could you do this?

However, what Martin thought was not much the same as Zhao Fubo thought. At this moment, although the craftsmen of the Arab Empire had the advantages of the integration of Eastern and Western cultures and technology, some special craftsmanship may not be stronger than the Song Dynasty.

For example, the Damascus sword is good, but the steel treatment methods here may not be stronger than the steel filling skills of the Song Dynasty at that time. It can even be said that if the world is combined, it may be a better way.
