As for the next step of Taiwan Wei's plan, how to develop, quickly turning this wild land in the eyes of others into an important part of the Li family's economic system, which is the most important part of Li Huayu's statement to his father.

To remind his father, he even used cinnabar to mark some key passages. to alert the father to attention.

In Huayu's planning, in addition to continuing a large number of immigrants from Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou and other places to Taiwan for reclamation, increasing the land planting area, and increasing the grain planting area, more consideration is the cultivation of cash crops in his planning.

"Father, thanks to the water conservancy projects such as Pi and Zhen built in various places, coupled with the use of all kinds of metal tools, fertilizers and pesticides produced in my southern middle school, Taiwan, which was called Visheye in the mouth of the ancients, has truly turned into a rice paradise with some outlines."

Visheya is an ancient Sanskrit word, Visha is rice soil, Shaya, solemn righteousness. Taken together, it is probably the solemn land of rice, which means the land of rice and heaven.

However, no matter how good the natural conditions were, before the arrival of immigrants, especially before the Nanyue army seized the so-called Formosa from the Dutch, Taiwan was nothing more than a land where the natives only knew how to shoot birds and animals, and simple gathering activities were used to survive, and the entire level of productivity was in a primitive society.

The initial development is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong. Taking advantage of the great drought in Fujian in the early years of Chongzhen, tens of thousands of hungry people were recruited from Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, and each person was given three silver dollars. Three people and one ox were transported to Taiwan by sea ship, and they were asked to reclaim land and build houses. In the autumn, the harvest was more than twice as much as that of the Fujian hometown, so that the people who came were more than old.

The scope of immigration covers Zhang, Quan, Hui, Chao and other places, where the people who lack land and means of livelihood come to the wind and continue to open up the wilderness, turning patches of wild land into fertile fields with the fragrance of rice flowers.

However, the agricultural technology of this period was still after sowing and left it to fend for itself. Widely planted and harvested on the level. It's all about the weather. The real increase in grain production was still after the hand of the Nanyue Army reached into Taiwan, which was called Dayuan at that time, and after a large number of iron farm tools were used, iron farm tools, improved seeds, ploughing cattle, soil and chemical fertilizers, and rice and fish farming formed a virtuous circle chain of agricultural production.

The son calculated. This year's grain production in various parts of Taiwan. Look at what has been reported from the Grange everywhere. It should be able to reach the level of harvesting 7 or 8 million stone of rice, not to mention complete self-sufficiency, and at least 3 million stone of grain can be exported. ”

"Export? Where to export? Shouhan deliberately made a very stern expression and looked at his son. In his heart, he was very happy that his son was able to analyze the current situation and propose solutions by himself, which showed that Li Huayu had quickly matured. This is what any father would like to see, even if the solution he proposes is very naïve and ridiculous, but at least he has his own ideas, which is the most precious.

"Do you plan to take advantage of the convenient terrain to sell Taiwan's surplus grain to Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, western Fujian, northern Fujian, and even southern Jiangxi and southern Zhili?"

Shouhan speculated on the sales scope of Taiwan's surplus grain.

"But this has always been the sales area of Nanzhong surplus grain. Moreover, in order to prevent the outflow of surplus grain, the official office has stipulated a strict grain sales quota system, once the millions of stone grain you have here poured into this area, it will inevitably cause grain overflow, if there is grain resold by profiteers to Liaodong thieves, then, you and my father and son will be in trouble again! ”

"Father! The export sales mentioned by my son, except for a part of the sales to the mainland, will not exceed the scale of 200,000 stones, and the volume will not have much impact. What's more, my son plans to sell it in Japan and other places! ”

"Selling to Japan?"

Shouhan had to say that his son's idea was a good idea. This is a great killer for further controlling Japan's economy and politics.

In addition to export sales, the son plans to forcibly promote the Siwucang and Changping systems that his father has promoted and operated in Nanzhong for many years in Taiwan. Whether it is a Han village or a Fanmin village, there must be rice with at least one year's worth of rations. In this way, the pressure on grain export can be slightly reduced. ”

"With the arrogant and unaccumulating character of the people, this system is beneficial and harmless to them. You can just let it go. However, before implementing this system, it is necessary to preach among the people so as not to cause misunderstanding. ”

"Well, please rest assured about this. There are many people under the son who have married Fanmin women, and when they go to their father-in-law's house, they can preach about the benefits of building a grain reserve. However," Li Huayu paused slightly.

"The son is going to ask his father for a favor."

Shouhan is a little strange, this kid has been so polite since he was a child?

"Tell me, do you have a crush on a woman from a Fanmin family, afraid that your mother doesn't want you to be included in the house? It's okay! Daddy is very open-minded, and it is said that if you marry a Fanmin woman as a concubine, you will bring the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and Daddy will also support you! ”

Shouhan said this just casually, but he didn't know that the Japanese emperor at this time had already made him a cheap grandfather.

Li Huayu's face flushed, although he was not a stranger to Daddy's attitude, but it was the first time he had encountered the conversation between father and son. He also knew that Daddy and Auntie didn't care about the women in the room, Daddy himself had all kinds of women from north to south, from east to west, and recently Ao Lei Yilan was collected from the cold land of the extreme north as the lady of the seventh room, and he also accepted two women from Shandong, and his father's attitude also affected Li Huayu.

"It's not! No! The son will not trouble his father because of this little thing! Li Huayu waved his hands to clear himself.

"The son wants to ask his father for a favor, looking for a few mills, pots and the like in Nanzhong, and coming to Taiwan to squeeze oil and soju."

After the grain crops are processed, the grain is brewed into wine, or the oil is squeezed, and the value of the primary agricultural product is increased by using technology processing. Not to mention export, it is a huge piece that can be consumed by more than one million people on the island.

"It's easy! You wrote in your own name to the Hu family, the Li family, and other firms. They have followed my family since the time of Ha Jing, and they have always been loyal, saddle before and after the horse. Now that you have a business opportunity here, you can take the initiative to come to the door, and you can be regarded as promoting them. ”

Shouhan still has a layer of meaning that he hasn't said, he thinks that Li Huayu should be allowed to appear in all walks of life in Nanzhong to establish his own network. You can't do everything to make yourself come out on top.

"You are the eldest marshal of my Nanyue Army, the current commander of Taiwan's guard, personally wrote a letter to invite them to come to Taiwan to build a factory and make a fortune, there are all kinds of things here, if they don't come, then they are fools!"

I heard my father's ridicule. Li Huayu was determined. It turned out that he had drilled the horns.

When his heart quieted down, Li Huayu felt that his mind was much lighter, and ordered the soldiers outside to make tea for his father, "Father." Please try the tea of Shuisha Lian produced in Taiwan. It is said to be able to ward off miasma and relieve heat. ”

Looking at the tea soup that is like pineapple poured out of the small pot of purple sand. Shouhan's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered another thing. However, he is not going to say it for the time being. Let's see if my son can think of this.

Sure enough, after taking a few sips of tea, Shouhan felt that there was a feeling of clouds under his ribs, and this most indigenous tea in Taiwan was really good.

The father and son sat down and drank tea opposite each other.

"Father, in addition to the squeezing mill and pot burning, the son plans to continue to vigorously grow sugarcane in Taiwan, and at the same time buy some livestock and poultry cubs from Nanzhong and the mainland to raise in Taiwan.

This is slowly getting to the point! Shouhan became more and more happy in his heart, and the more he looked at his son's face, the more pleasing he felt to the eye.

Taiwan's sugar cane, or sugar press, has been a staple of exports for cash and foreign exchange since the Dutch occupation of the colonial period. According to the "Diary of the City of Batavia", by February 1640, in Tainan alone, farmers could produce 450,000 catties of white sugar and brown sugar from the harvest of sugarcane, which made a lot of profits for the Dutch to export to Japan and the Middle East. In order to ensure the cultivation of sugarcane, the Dutch provided a series of preferential policies, such as providing loans, providing cattle, exempting from relevant taxes, etc., to ensure the cultivation of sugarcane.

Even to facilitate the purchase of sugar cane, the Dutch rebuilt a section of the road from Chichicheng to Newport and built a hospital to provide medical and health care for Chinese who fell ill from growing sugar cane.

Why can't we do better what even the Lamb can do?

The son plans to plant a large area of land in the western part of Taiwan's mountains, or to grow rice, or to grow sugarcane and other crops, but unfortunately, tea cannot be planted, otherwise a large number of tea from Fujian will be transplanted to the mountains of Taiwan, which may not be worse than the tea in Wuyi Mountain. Western merchant ships traveling to and from Heishuigou can carry these tea leaves westward, and the large amount of rice grown by his son in Taiwan can also be sold to them! ”

Finally said what Shouhan wanted to hear!

In this era, it was also believed that tea plants could not be transplanted, but could only be grown locally, so this is the reason why tea has been China's huge foreign trade surplus for thousands of years. It wasn't until the British stole the tea bushes and successfully tried to grow them in India, and Indian black tea gradually replaced the market position of Chinese tea, and China's trade surplus turned into a deficit.

Rather than waiting for the British hairy to steal, I will attack in a big way, grab all the places where I can grow tea trees, and then plant tea trees!

Sugarcane, tea, rice, is the main pillar industry of Taiwan's agriculture, after the Qing Dynasty implemented the rule of Taiwan, Taiwan, Fengshan, Zhuluo three counties each year of sugar, about 6000000 baskets, 1780 catties per basket. 100 catties of green sugar is worth 89 dollars of silver, and 100 catties of white sugar is 1234 yuan. This calculation is a huge number, and if it is combined with the metal sugar extraction technology, the sugar yield is bound to be more.

"Boy! You're waiting for Daddy here, aren't you? Shouhan deliberately made a state of waking up like a dream, and looked at Huayu with a tiger face. Just now you said that you want to build a mill, I'm afraid it's not as simple as oil extraction, right? Sugar is what you're for! ”

His little trick was exposed by his father, Li Huayu just smiled, "Father, you are a man of your word!" Don't regret what you say! ”

The sugarcane planting industry in Hejing and other places has become a complete and mature industrial chain, and it is autumn and winter every year. Truckloads of sugarcane are harvested by cane farmers with sharp machetes, and then transported to nearby mills for processing, and the sugar juice squeezed out by those heavy and huge metal reels is the so-called brown sugar after rough processing, and then processed and purified to become crystal white sugar, which produces a lot of wealth for the Nanyue Army and Li Shouhan every year.

The sugar produced in Ha Tinh has been sold to a wide area from Yongning Temple in the east, Japan, and Korea, to the Netherlands and Spain in the west. The sultans of India, the kings of the land, the sheikhs of Arabia, the sultans of Turkey. Japanese daimyo and shogun. The two leading groups of disciples in Korea, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the north and south, the pawns of peddlers, and the nobles and princes of Europe were all crazy about this white and snow-white artifact.

If Taiwan is turned into a huge sugar cane plantation. How much benefit will this bring to the Shouhan and Southern Yue armies?

Shouhan remembered in a hazy way. It seems that Taiwan's sugarcane production was once able to rank fourth in the world. If you add the sugarcane production in Nanzhong, there is also the Luzon region suitable for growing sugarcane, then. "I can manipulate the price of sugar around the world!"

Shouhan laughed wildly in his heart.

"Good! The mill equipment you want, I asked a few stewards made by Hejing to produce it for you, but when it's time for you to come forward, you must go out yourself, don't rely on Lao Tzu for everything. The eight words of Corporal Lixian are easy to say, but it is difficult to do, but if you really do it, the harvest will be far greater than the amount you pay. ”

At this time, Shouhan was completely a father who taught his son how to be a man and do things, rather than a commander who commanded thousands of troops and horses, and could determine life and death, poverty and wealth in one word. At present, the defenders of the Han Dynasty have entered middle age, and the imminent problem is not how to conquer the city and seize land in all directions, but how to cultivate and choose a successor.

He didn't want to turn his son into a waste who didn't know the hardships of the crops, the sophistication of human feelings, the sinister hearts of people, and the hardships of the world.

"As long as the father agrees, the rest of the things will naturally be handled by the son and the Taiwan Wei Yousi Yamen. A qiē is in accordance with the charter. "After being a magistrate for a period of time, he went on the horse to manage the army and the people on the horse, and Li Huayu has also matured a lot.

"As for what you said, the construction of the grain for export, I plan to go back and ask your uncle to gather people to calculate it. In addition to the Wa Kingdom, there are also Tianzhu in the west, Tianfang (Arabia) and countries such as Spain and Portugal to the west, and our grain can be transported as ballast, and we can also make money. ”

"Father, my son is short-sighted! I only calculated that if the surplus grain of Taiwan Wei was exported to Fuso, it would be after deducting the reserves of warehouses such as Siwucang and Changping, in addition to the consumption of pots, mills, and livestock and pigs, millions of stone of grain and rice could be sold to Japan every year, and it would be very easy for a daimyo to digest more than 10,000 stone of grain and rice. I don't want my father's vision to be more long-term! ”

In the past few decades, from south to north and from east to west, Shouhan has also listened to countless sycophants, and he is already a little aesthetically tired of this kind of thing, but today he is also a little fluttering when he hears his son's heartfelt admiration.

"Don't slap your son's ass!"

He deliberately glanced at Li Huayu.

"As for the expansion of sugarcane planting area you mentioned, you can send people back to Nanzhong and Chaozhou to purchase sugarcane seedlings and plant them in Taiwan."

"As for the introduction of tea trees?"

Shouhan was a little troubled. He only knows that Taiwan's tea is good, and the cultivation of tea trees is related to altitude, the higher the altitude, the better the taste, the more expensive the price. The tea produced in Alishan Township, Meishan Township, Fanlu Township and other areas in Alishan District, the highest tea planting area in Taiwan, is the best among Taiwan's teas!

However, these teas seem to have no biological relationship with the water and sand tea that has just been drunk in the mouth, they are all introduced from Fujian and other places, what tea trees in the Wuyi Mountains and Anxi areas were first planted in the northern part of Taiwan, because of the rainy relationship here, Taiwan's tea can be harvested for four seasons a year, and spring and summer are prosperous.

But how should tea cultivation be carried out? The mountain peoples in the Alishan Mountains have always been known for their toughness, and the most famous thing is to get out of the grass and hunt for heads. Even during the Japanese occupation, the Fog Society Incident broke out. And the Takasago Volunteers during World War II also fought remarkably in the Pacific Islands!

Shouhan gritted his teeth again.

Hua Yu knew that this was his father's subconscious action when he was thinking about the problem, and he couldn't help but concentrate and calm down, for fear of disturbing his father's train of thought.

"It's hard! Fujian is now at war, and if Zheng Zhilong is not solved, I am afraid that it will be difficult for tea seedlings and seeds to go to Taiwan! After a while, Shouhan finally sighed, which was an answer to Huayu.

"So, what does Father mean?"

"This can't be done overnight, but it can't be put on hold. Tomorrow, you will go to find your Uncle Wang Bao, and ask him to look for Fujian soldiers in the Fujian frontline army in the name of the camp office, and select those whose families have dealt with tea in Anxi, Wuyishan, and other places to go back to Taiwan with your men, and survey the terrain in various places to see where it is suitable to plant tea trees. This trip down, I'm afraid that the affairs of the Zheng family will be done! ”

At that moment, the father and son decided how to promote sugarcane cultivation in the western plains of Taiwan, and according to Li Huayu, those Pingpu people could also participate.

"Since this generation is kind to us, they want to make them feel the tangible benefits, and the son intends to give them the method of growing sugar cane, and then provide them with rations and other household items, and buy them at the same market price when the sugar cane is ripe."

"You are the commander of Taiwan's defense, and you can come up with your own ideas about these administrative details. I don't have an idea, and I don't have any idea of what you do. Remember, anyone can do it, but Zhuge Liang can't do it! ”

"In the future, tea trees will be planted in various places, and my son plans to use this method to promote it."

Shouhan listened to Li Huayu's words, just nodded slightly, but didn't say more.

Neither father nor son spoke of the benefits of tea and sugarcane cultivation in addition to economic benefits.

However, after a few years, this great benefit hidden in the sweet taste came to the surface.

In the village of the Bhasi tribe on the banks of the Tamsui River in northern Taiwan, a notice was posted on the bulletin board next to the shrine of the Jinbaoli Society, which not only clearly stated the price of this year's sugarcane purchased by the officials, but also urged the Basai mothers to send their school-age children to school in an extremely strict tone. (This tribe was also a matriarchal society.) ）

Several women dressed in short robes and long skirts made of cotton cloth of extremely bright red, yellow, and black gathered around the bulletin board and heard the chieftain read the price and date of the purchase of sugar cane in the northern coast between the Golden Hill and the hills behind it, and in the hills behind it, and carried the cane knives to their fields.

"Slow down! Slow down! The wrinkled leader on his face called out to them.

"The notice of this yamen says that children of age must go to school, books and pen are produced by the government, children go to school every day to take care of food, and those who live far away are also given half a catty of rice every day. If a child in the village community does not go to school, he will be disqualified from trading. ”

The leader's solemn face swept over the women present, "You can't affect the entire village community for the sake of your children, right?" (To be continued......)
