How the Manchus planned to deal with Hong Chengchou was no longer something that Zheng Sen needed to care about. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHe was already on his way back to Fujian at this time. Now that there is no possibility of anything big happening on Zheng Zhihu's side, Zheng Sen naturally can't stay there for a long time. After all, Zheng Sen is very busy now.

First of all, the first thing is the construction of Taiwan's administrative structure today. In the past few years, Taiwan's population has increased a lot, a large number of displaced people, plus women from the Nanyang area, over the years, the population of the entire island of Taiwan has exceeded one million.

When Taiwan was just beginning to develop, the Zheng family's administrative structure for the entire island of Taiwan was very simple and very flat. The entire island of Taiwan is centered on Beigang, around which hundreds of villages have been built along the coast and muddy water streams. At that time, these villages were basically still natural economies, except for the struggle with the local natives, and things like grain seeds and buffaloes that needed to trouble the Zheng family, more often, there were more elements of autonomy, so there was not much need for management. Therefore, the Zheng family's management method at that time was to build a city in Beigang and then collect taxes according to the time.

But then things changed a lot. The first is that the economic model of self-sufficiency is gradually being replaced by a plantation economy. Compared with the traditional self-sufficient natural economy, the plantation economy is more profitable and more organized, but it is also more complex to operate and more troublesome to manage.

On the other hand, in the beginning, the settlement was very close to the North Port, and the farthest was only about a day's journey. But as new immigrants continue to arrive, new settlements are becoming more and more farther away. In addition, for those settlements along the coast, the transportation by sea is much more convenient than that by land, so new ports are constantly appearing, and up to now, there are more than 2,000 large and small settlements in Taiwan, and 53 large and small ports. Of course, most of these ports are small private ports built by the immigrants themselves, and generally such ports have only a small trestle and can only accommodate small fishing boats and other boats. However, it is already a bit inconvenient to directly manage so many settlements with Beigang as the core.

Moreover, as Taiwan became more and more prosperous, there were also people within the Zheng family who constantly proposed the need to set up counties in Taiwan for management. Most of these people are Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates, they followed Zheng Zhilong back then, mixed in Japan for a period of time, and now they see that Taiwan is developing well, somehow they remember the Japanese model, and actually started the idea of learning from Japan to play feudalism.

Such a reactionary proposition was of course unacceptable to Zheng Sen, but the trouble was that Zheng Zhilong seemed to be interested in such a proposal. At the same time, in the past two years, Taiwan has increasingly become the core area of the Zheng family's power, both in terms of force and the ability to make money. And the rest of the Zheng family, even Zheng Zhilong, lack enough influence in Taiwan, which is now more and more like Zheng Sen's independent kingdom. Zheng Sen thought, did this also cause some vigilance on Zheng Zhilong?

Zheng Zhilong's attention to Zheng Sen is beyond doubt. Moreover, among Zheng Zhilong's sons, Zheng Sen is the eldest son, and his status is unshakable in terms of etiquette and law, as long as he does not die. In addition, Zheng Sen is not only the eldest son, but also the one with the most outstanding talent and ability among all the brothers, whether it is Lichang or Lixian, he can only be him. But Zheng Sen also knows how power, or the desire to control, can be attractive to a person. Back then, Li Yuan and Li Shimin may not have had a time when their fathers were kind and filial to their sons; Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin may not be brothers, friends and brothers. But in the face of power, they will eventually turn against each other.

Zheng Sen was worried that the reason why Zheng Zhilong treated those "old subordinates" may not have the intention of mixing sand into his system. To be honest, Zheng Sen is not against other people, especially his father, getting involved in Taiwan's affairs, in fact, there are already too many things in Taiwan at present, and he is already a little too busy to be alone. He now misses that Zheng Zhifeng is still in Taiwan, as his nominal chief officer, and when he was his deputy, at that time, many routine affairs were taken care of by Zheng Zhifeng, which was much easier than now.

"Maybe we should find a way to get the third uncle back to Taiwan." On the boat rushing to Anping, Zheng Sen couldn't help but think like this.

In addition to Taiwan's affairs, there is another very important thing that Zheng Zhilong needs to discuss with Zheng Sen, that is, Zheng Sen's lifelong event. In this era, people married much earlier than later generations. In the original history, in this year, Zheng Sen married the daughter of Dong Yangxian, who served as a servant of the ministry, that is, Dong Guotai, who was hacked in Jin Yong's "The Story of Deer and Ding".

In this time and space, because there are a lot of various things, this thing is delayed, otherwise, depending on the time, it would have been long overdue to go to someone else to propose marriage. However, Zheng Zhilong was very concerned about finding a daughter-in-law for his son, so now that the affairs in the north were temporarily over, Zheng Sen had time and hurriedly called him back to discuss with him.

"I don't know who Daddy has fallen in love with this time?" Zheng Sen couldn't help but think like this, "But judging from the original history, Dad's vision should not be bad." And as a military attaché, it took a lot of effort to be able to marry his son to the daughter of a jinshi. ”

Although in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", the Dong Guotai (Dong Yougu) selected by Zheng Zhilong for Zheng Sen was hacked, but in the original history, Dong Guotai's performance was actually very good. In the original history, when Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and Zheng Sen raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, he did not have much property around him, Dong Yougu sold her jewelry to support her husband, and personally took other female dependents to weave to subsidize the military. Although the amount of money is limited, this behavior is commendable. Later, in the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Qing army's general soldiers and horses attacked Xiamen, when Zheng Chenggong's main force was not in Xiamen, the guard general Zheng Zhiguan fled from the wind, the island was in chaos, everyone was busy fleeing, and the others carried their belongings as much as possible when they fled, only Dong Yougu was fleeing, but what she carried with her was Zheng Sen's mother's spiritual position and Zheng Chenggong's confidential documents in the army.

In this era, Zheng Sen is not looking forward to a marriage based on free love. Because this is not realistic, in this era, women who will give ordinary men the opportunity to meet and have the opportunity to talk, generally speaking, are either Yang Xi'er from extremely poor families, or they have fallen into the dust. The former must be illiterate, and because of poor nutrition, the general appearance will not be too high. As for the latter, you can talk about love or something, such as Li Xiangjun, but such a woman can't be a wife in this era. And those eldest ladies or something, that is by no means something that a man with a foreign surname can see casually. Zheng Sen still remembers a detail in "Lin Daiyu Enters Jiafu" that he learned when he was in high school in his last life, that is, Lin Daiyu's sedan chair was put down in front of the door of Jiafu, and the sedan chair drivers retreated, and then Lin Daiyu did not get down from the sedan chair, but the little maids in Jiafu lifted the sedan chair and entered in front of the hanging flower door, and then when the little maids retreated, the maids and women came forward to open the sedan curtain and help her down. During the whole process, people outside had absolutely no chance to see her.

Similarly, in the Yuan Dynasty, when Wang Shifu wrote "The Legend of the West Chamber", he could also arrange for the hero and heroine to meet or something. Because in my Ming Dynasty, even if you make up a story, if you want to make up something like that everyone secretly saw a man with a foreign surname, she will definitely be scolded by the reasonable party.

Therefore, looking at it comprehensively, Zheng Sen actually felt that the original Dong Yougu was actually not bad. Her father was born in Jinshi and worked as a prefect and a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, so I think she should have a good education. And judging from some of her performances in history, her character is also very firm. Although personal ability is not very prominent, in this era, the requirements for women's personal ability are not high. Zheng Sen was not a machismo in his previous life, and even in this era, Zheng Sen also felt that it was a great waste of productivity for women to stay at home without leaving the door. So in Zheng Sen's plan, there are women who work, and even go to factories as female workers. But the emancipation of women is far from the scope of the goals he has set for himself.

"It's useless to think about it, maybe when you get to Anping, you find that what my dad looks at is not the same as in history." Zheng Sen smiled, stood up, walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck of the "Feiyan". At this time, there was some southeast wind on the sea, and the "Feiyan" was facing the wind, and the bow of the ship split the waves, and was sailing at high speed.

"Where are you now?" Zheng Sen asked.

"Major General, I've just crossed the mouth of the Yangtze River." Captain Zheng Haisheng replied.

Zheng Sendao raised his head and looked into the distance. However, he did not see anything, which was normal, in order to train the sailors' ability to use nautical charts and sextants to sail to the sea, the Feiyan did not sail against the coastline like ordinary small sailing ships, even the nearest land, the distance of the "Feiyan" was hundreds of miles, and at such a distance, even with a telescope, the coast could not be seen.

"It's going to be quick this time." Zheng Sen said.
