While everyone was drinking tea and chatting by the Gaoping River, Sanya had quickly responded to Lidou's application, agreeing to allow Tao Hongfang and others to stay in Kaohsiung temporarily, and Lidou had full authority to arrange relevant inspection activities.

"Look, I'll just say it's all right." Li Dou showed the telegram he had just received to several young people: "I think the main purpose of Fort Victory sending you out is to let you increase your knowledge. But if you just take a quick look at each place you visit, your understanding of the local society and people's livelihood will definitely only be superficial, and it's better to stay for a few more days."

"Uncle Li is right, it's just that if I interrupt suddenly, I'm afraid it will delay Uncle Li's business." Tao Hongfang replied very modestly.

Li Dou smiled and said: "It's okay, whether it's public or private, I should give priority to receiving you. Besides, Kaohsiung is neither a frontier frontier nor a trade center. The area under its jurisdiction is Tainan, with a population of over a hundred thousand. How many people can there be?" Can't finish the business?"

Just as Li Dou expected, Tao Donglai and other senior officials sent their sons who had high hopes to go abroad on business trips. The purpose of course was to expand their horizons and understand the operation of this huge empire.As Kaohsiung is an advanced area of ​​agricultural development, there are naturally many places worthy of their research and attention. Since Lidou is willing to take the initiative to arrange inspection trips for these young people, Fort Victory is definitely happy to see the results.

So Tao Hongfang and others suspended their trip to the north and stayed in Kaohsiung for a short three-day investigation.However, the whereabouts of the few of them were discovered by the outside world, and various invitations and greetings were immediately delivered to the Lifu Manor where they settled down like snowflakes.

These people who want to meet are basically the heads of various large commercial organizations stationed in Kaohsiung. Usually, they don't get this kind of opportunity to contact senior officials sent abroad in Sanya. Naturally, everyone is rushing to be the first.Even if you know that the possibility of getting an interview is slim, you have to send a post or a gift when you should, otherwise you will not give it to others, and it will not be worthwhile to be revenged by these young officials.

Li Dou also knew that they probably had little experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so he took the initiative to screen them out.Naturally, all ordinary commercial firms were eliminated, leaving only a few with backgrounds, and a unified interview was arranged for them.This can not only satisfy the wishes of the businessmen, but also eliminate the need for Tao Hongfang and others to spend a lot of time socializing. In the process, young officials can also learn some information about the operation of agricultural products, which will also benefit them from broadening their horizons.

During their stay in Kaohsiung, they spent more time following Lidou to visit various local plantations and farms to learn about various knowledge about agricultural development.This is a novel experience for young officials who have been in the Sanya government all year round.After all, in the past, they rarely had the opportunity to actually go to the fields to understand how the food for their three meals a day was produced. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of inspection in Kaohsiung, they finally have a general understanding of the entire process of agricultural production .

Three days passed in a flash, and it was time for Tao Hongfang and others to restart their schedule.On the day before leaving, Li Dou personally sent them to Kaohsiung Port to say goodbye.

The young people were naturally very grateful for Lidou's warm reception during this period, and when they parted, they expressed their thanks again to Lidou, and expressed that they would continue to maintain contact with Kaohsiung in the future.

Tao Hongfang said: "Uncle Li will come to Sanya again in the future, you must inform him in advance, I will definitely arrange the itinerary, and show the friendship of the landlord."

Li Dou smiled and said: "If it's convenient for everyone, when you come back to Sanya in the future, take the time to help me see if the two naughty children of my family are studying hard."

Li Dou now has four sons and two daughters, among which the eldest son and the second son have been sent to Sanya to receive the higher education that only the descendants of cross-travelers are entitled to enjoy.This time I met Tao Hongfang and others, and I just took advantage of this opportunity to see if I could let my son integrate into their circle.

"Zijing, Letong, I'll leave it to the two of you to take care of Uncle Li's family!" Tao Hongfang understood after hearing Xiange, and immediately assigned tasks to his companions.

The educational resources enjoyed by the children of time travel are naturally different from those of ordinary people, and much of the knowledge they have learned is even out of reach of the general public. Ning Qizai, who is in charge of culture and education, has always been in charge of related educational work.One of Ning Zijing and Bai Letong is Ning Qi's eldest son, and the other is Ning Qi's direct disciple. Naturally, they have something to do with supervising the learning of the Li family's children.

These two people were also straightforward, and they didn't intend to shirk this, and immediately agreed.Since I have received Li Dou's warm reception in Kaohsiung, it is only natural for me to help my elders complete some simple tasks in return.When they were still studying in the early years, many of their companions were the children of high-ranking officials sent from other places, and they probably understood the situation of these children. When they returned to Sanya in the future, they would visit Li Dou's two sons and see how they were studying. If you need any help in your life, you have completed the task.

At the time of parting, Li Dou also gave them some gifts, all of which are local specialties, such as beer brewed from wheat produced locally in Kaohsiung, toffee made from brown sugar and butter, and refined ham that has been produced for several months , and hundreds of catties of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, etc., for them to enjoy on the way north.

Although these things may not be very valuable, but due to limited production capacity, they are not commodities that ordinary people can enjoy. If official ships want to purchase supplies at the port by themselves, they probably cannot buy these things.

However, a few young people left in a hurry and had no plan to stay in Kaohsiung, so they didn’t prepare any gifts in advance, so they had no choice but to thank Li Dou first, and planned to buy some gifts and send them to Kaohsiung as a thank you when they came back from the north .

In order to take care of the itinerary of these young officials, the official ship also waited in Kaohsiung for a few days.However, the reason for arranging this ship in the first place was to send them northward, and the mission of material and mail transportation during the period was only on the way, so other missions could only be postponed due to temporary changes in the itinerary.

After the official ship leaves Kaohsiung, the next stop is Dinghai Port in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and there are no other arrangements on the way.However, they can still take a look at the important places they will pass along the way from afar.

The first place is Taiwan Dayuan Port not far from Kaohsiung Port, which is also the only place on Taiwan Island that is managed by other countries.

The history of the Dutch East India Company’s occupation of Dayuan Port is longer than the founding of Haihan, but limited by the construction capacity and the suppression of Haihan in the later period, the development here has been stagnant in the past 20 years, far inferior to that in the south. Kaohsiung Port is prosperous.
