In fact, having said so much, Zhang Qiang is to carry out in-depth development on the treasure island left by Zheng Chenggong, you must know that this is a very prosperous place in the future, especially sugar and rice, sugarcane needless to say, the profiteering industry, like salt, is one of the sources of taxation in the Qing Dynasty, but rice can be used to fill the lack of arable land on the southeast coast, there are many river networks, and the grain produced is not enough to feed the population of the southeast coast, and it also needs to be imported from the treasure island and Vietnam, and the southerners are not used to eating the wheat of the northerners. Therefore, rice and some things need to be imported from other countries.

Thirty teams were dispatched, only seven were placed, and the rest were either high mountains or dense forests, and if there were no mountains and rivers blocking the way, they could only camp within thirty miles of the edge of the area that could be used, and build roads and bridges to the destination step by step, of course, there were also a few teams because they went deep into the mountains and forests, lost their roads, and finally were swallowed up by miasma and swamps.

Zhu Dayou mobilized nearby militia teams to reinforce here, each team of 200 militiamen, 30 garrison company soldiers, 200 prisoners, and 500 hard laborers, formed a team of men and horses, forced through these areas, and arrived at the edge of the habitable and usable land 30 miles away and set up camp and began work.

There were five such lots, and the other seventeen were also increased, and the slaves and prisoners were increased, and they were put to supervise the work of the laborers, and to speed up the progress to reach the first destination, to open roads, to build camps, and then to open up land in the vicinity.

As for the deeper places, we will have to wait for the next year, and in the coming year we will send more teams to go deeper, this time sixty miles into the land, and then open the way back from the sixty miles.

One million prisoners and hard laborers, one million displaced civilians, 10,000 militiamen, 6,000 garrison battalion soldiers, more than 30,000 field brigade soldiers, 6,000 sailor soldiers and sailors, and by the year after tomorrow, according to Zhang Qiang's prediction, the population of Baodao will reach at least 2.23 million.

In the initial stage, there were only 300,000 people and more than 100,000 captives and hard labor, this is the first stage of the development of the population, the second year will increase to a million population, the third year to increase to 22.3 million population, when the time comes, with the Baozhong Mansion as the foundation, to extend to both sides, and then open the sea trade port with the Taixi people, the five built ports are unified and open, at least the sea trade of the Huaxia army can be restored to the original trade quota of 50 percent before the war, at least to 50 million Chinese yuan in sea trade income.

In this way, the funds for the development of the treasure island and the military expenditure of the Huaxia Army will be settled again.

In this way, the taxes collected from the villages and towns of the territory could be used for the common people, the commercial taxes could be used for the development of commerce and the construction of newly occupied territories, and some other taxes could be used for the administrative expenses of officials and centers, and some funds could be allocated to the poor places in need for special expenses, such as the construction of new factories and the maintenance of new water conservants, for the relief of the common people.

Huaxia is an agricultural country, so Zhang Qiang can not exempt the peasants from taxes, forced labor and other taxes hated by later generations, now these taxes are natural, but not much, compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the Huaxia army collected taxes is fixed, and only three percent of the collection, the remaining seventy percent by the people themselves, the Ministry of Civil Affairs supervises, to prevent some businessmen from doing evil.

In fact, the Huaxia army now has a lot of gold and silver and other property, if put in the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, Nanming and other places, maybe they will not be used up for 50 years, according to the latest statistics, through trade, war and other ways to collect the enemy's or outsiders' gold and silver and other property reached a billion, which is why the trade has been cut off in recent years, only smuggling with the Qing Dynasty, trade with the Southern Ming Kingdom, or other distant local trade, a little poor maritime trade, the Huaxia Army still does not have the dilemma of shortage of funds, Because the Huaxia Army has so much gold and silver, it can overissue Huaxia Yuan, and it is not said that it can be successfully run.

The Huaxia Army controlled the salt, tea, raw silk, silk, cloth, ironware and other businesses in the south, and other places originally needed supplies from the southeast, but now the southeast is owned by the Huaxia Army, and they can only use the products of the Huaxia Army even through smuggling, and even if some talented merchants in other places come up with other ways to get some of these goods, they cannot occupy a larger market, and can only become a rich party in their local area, which cannot affect the income of the Huaxia Army.

Now the Huaxia Army has occupied the treasure island and drove away Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong's sugar business, as well as the rice grain and rice business are all owned by the Huaxia Army, and there is also a fishing business at sea, maybe Zheng Chenggong can't do this business, the Huaxia Army has Zhang Qiang, a later person, a little bit of it, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce knows how to get it, saltpeter, ice cubes are frozen, and then transported to the southeast mainland, and people in the mainland can also eat sea fish, which is another profiteering business.

Moreover, with the treasure island, the Huaxia army developed another trade route, from the territory of the Huaxia army to the treasure island to transport some goods, porcelain, tea, raw silk, silk, salt, tobacco, etc., and then from the treasure island to transport the deep mountains and forests to make furniture or build houses.

The business in the internal market of the Huaxia Army was also quite prosperous, and the commercial tax revenue was completely inferior to the previous sea trade income, which became another major part of the Huaxia Army's financial revenue.

Treasure Island, of course, is inseparable from the tourism industry, Zhang Qiang ordered the Dutch, Spanish, pirate Yan Sicheng, as well as Zheng Chenggong's house, castle, and camp to be specially repaired, and then let the imperial examination scholars on the territory of the Chinese Army on the mainland to visit, come back to write some thoughts and current affairs articles, and publish them in the newspaper opened by the Chinese Army, causing many rich landowners who have become rich through the efforts of the past few years to go on vacation and travel.

It can be said that Zhang Qiang, who has seen countless crossings in later generations, can earn a lot of taxes for the Huaxia Army by shaking out some money-making ideas casually.

There is also a place to use the treasure island is to send some elite soldiers deep into the mountains and forests, learn mountain and forest operations, in order to lay the foundation for the next step to fight in the South Seas or Southeast Asia, in the high mountains, some hidden Gaoshan Baodao people, still retain the habit of cannibalism, Zheng Chenggong's strength and manpower are limited, can not find out all of them and take them away, so these people's camps, villages, tribes have become a place for elite soldiers to practice.

In the following six months, thousands of elite soldiers were killed and wounded, and a total of about 10,000 original Gaoshan Shengfan natives were killed and captured.

Of course, these people were sent to the hard labor camps, to the front line to die.

The uncivilized people could not communicate with them, so they could only use swords and guns to bleed them and exterminate the race.

As a very disgusted with the treatment of Indians by later generations of Americans, Zhang Qiang had to adopt this effective method to solve the problem for China, so as not to leave it to future generations, so that future generations can enjoy the malicious insults and slanders of some people, and even attacks, so that they always want to divide the treasure island and become an unstable factor in China. Leaving a lot of loopholes that are easy for the enemy to exploit, he always likes to repay his grievances with virtue, there is a good saying, how to repay virtue?
