"Sent an order to the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials, transferred Zhangnan garrison Feng Zhitu as the first governor of Taiwan, Feng Zhitu is an honest and honest official, with outstanding political achievements, I have listened to the recommendation of the Ministry of Officials many times, just because there is no suitable official arrangement for a while, so it has not been transferred, and now this Taiwan prefect is also none other than him, set up four counties in Taiwan, the Puluo City is Tainan County, and the four counties in Taiwan are named Tainan, Taichung, Hualien, Taipei, Yao Qisheng, you serve as the Tainan County Commander, and set up the Institute of Science and Commerce in Taiwan City, and He Bin and Li Ying serve as the left and right affairs of the Institute of Science and Commerce, under the direct jurisdiction of the General's Office, leaving a battalion of men and horses in Taiwan, garrisoned by Shi Daxuan. ”

In the Utrecht bunker in the city of Geranza, Cao Bianjiao also announced the next series of personnel arrangements, he can't stay here in Taiwan all the time, he is not Zheng Chenggong, his foundation is in the Central Plains, although Taiwan is very important, but it is not where Cao Bianjiao should stay for a long time.

"Dare to ask the general, what is the duty of this institute of science and commerce?" He Bin also asked at the moment, he didn't know what to do, what should he do then, it would be appropriate to ask clearly now.

Cao Bianjiao also explained: "That is, all the trade matters through Taiwan, including the taxation of the port, as well as the export of Taiwan's local trade, are in charge of the Institute of Commerce and Commerce, and you can recruit 500 local officers and soldiers here, and you are in charge." ”

"In addition, Taiwan pays taxes, and no penny will be collected within two years, and after two years, all the registered people in Taiwan and those who farm will only need to pay one stone of grain per person; Those engaged in the mulberry weaving industry pay two horses of cloth...... "Cao Bianjiao is also a supplement to the tax system, and the policy is much more preferential than that of the mainland."

Cao Bianjiao walked out of the city of Gelanza, walked on the beach, enjoyed the comfort of the sea breeze, not far away there are several fishing sailboats, swaying on the sea, since the Ming army recovered Taiwan, the Taiwanese people were able to fish and hunt freely, no longer like before, full of Dutch bullying, Cao Bianjiao is also strict in military discipline, no crime against the island's residents.

"General... General..."

At this time, Cao Bianjiao heard the words and looked, only to see Guo Huaiyi leading a group of people to the beach.

"Leader Guo, oh, no, it's time to call you Mayor Guo, what's the matter, why are you here, is it that some of my officers and soldiers are making trouble, if so, I will not favor anyone, although it is blunt!"

Cao Bianjiao also announced Taiwan's new policy, changed the original tribes and ethnic groups into townships, and elected township governors by each of them, serving a term of four years, implementing democratic politics, Guo Huaiyi became a town mayor of Tainan County, although he did not receive an official position, but he was also an official from Jiupin.

"No, general, no one bullied us, we are all towns and towns in New Tainan County, the new township mayor, we are here to thank the general, because of the general's leniency, we can rest assured that we can go to sea to fish, dry the net on the coast, and get a lot of cattle, thanks to the general's favor, we have nothing to repay, the big guy summed it up, selected a few local women from the villages, let them follow the general, serve the general!"

At this time, more than a dozen women walked out from behind a group of people, came to Cao Bianjiao, bowed and saluted: "Meet the general!" ”

"Your kindness, I understand it, this can not be helped, in the new deal, I also made a clear declaration, absolutely not to allow human trafficking, even if the wealthy family needs servants, they can only be hired in the form of a contract, you give these women to me, then I am not the culprit of the destruction of the new deal? I can't help it! Cao Bianjiao also hurriedly refused, although the women in front of him, although they all looked good, and had a bit of the charm of minority women, but Cao Bianjiao was not so greedy for beauty, and he also refused assertively at the moment.

"This is a piece of our heart, these women are willing to serve the general, and please don't shirk the general!"

"I really can't help it, let them all go back, in another year or two, find a good family and marry, don't follow me, I can't violate the etiquette, I understand your kindness, I really want to thank me, then send me a few catties of tea often, I heard that Taiwan's alpine tea is the most fragrant and pleasant, I haven't had a chance to taste it."

"Oh well! I don't know when the general will return to the mainland, but we are going to hold a bonfire banquet tomorrow night, and we invite the general to participate! ”

"I won't leave for the time being, since there is a bonfire feast, then I naturally want to go." Cao Bianjiao is also inherited.

Three days later, Cao Bianjiao received Shi Lang's good news, Shi Lang had successfully defeated Du Chen, the governor of Macau, to recover Macau, and asked Cao Bianjiao for the next instructions, there are thousands of Portuguese in Macau, among which there are not craftsmen who are good at making cannons, and there are many missionaries, businessmen, etc., how to settle these people, Shi Lang does not dare to call the shots, and Cao Bianjiao needs to arrange.

"Shi Lang has captured Oyster, I am going to set up a county in Oyster, under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong government, and also order the Governor of Liangguang and the Admiral of the Nanyang Naval Division, Lord Shen, to send people to strengthen the patrol of the waters of Liangguang, especially Qiongzhou, and send a thousand-person team to take turns to defend the coastal defense!"

"I agree with the general's meaning, but the general, we have been at sea for more than a month, and the situation in Taiwan has also been initially stabilized, and now the oyster mirror has also been recovered, and the general is advised to return to the mainland as soon as possible, leaving a person in charge to be responsible for the affairs of the southeast coast, our main target is still in the north, the Manchu Qing Dynasty may take advantage of the situation at any time, if the imperial court makes waves, there is no general in charge, I am afraid that the situation in the DPRK will be uneasy, and please think twice!" Li Yan also persuaded at the moment, he found that Cao Bianjiao seemed to like this place very much, and he was a little happy, he was happy with the people during this time, but he did not arrange the return to the north, Li Yan was also a little worried.

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, how could he not know what Li Yan meant, and he nodded at the moment: "I know, what you said is also right, the affairs of the southeast have been roughly arranged, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time, so let's do it, tomorrow I will lead the army back to Fujian, let Zheng Sen continue to stay in Fujian, the soldiers and horses of the Zheng family still need the people of the Zheng family to be temporarily commanded, and in addition, Jiang Zhang Cai was transferred to serve as the head of the Fujian Metropolitan Division, in charge of the distribution of all grain and grass and military salaries and the rectification of military discipline, and at the same time transferred Shi Ling, Tan Zhenliang and others to come to Fujian to serve as the capital of each battalion. Fujian needs more of our own people! ”

"This matter can be done step by step, and the general does not have to be in a hurry, I think Zheng Sen is still loyal to the general, and several generals in the army are in awe of the general, and in just three or five years, the situation in Fujian can be roughly stabilized and completely under the control of the general."

"What you say is reasonable, so be it, as for the rest, take your time, you go and order the three armies, except for Shi Daxuan's subordinates, the rest will all return to Fujian tomorrow."

"Yes!" Hearing that Cao Bianjiao didn't delay anything, Li Yan was also relieved, he didn't want Cao Bianjiao to become the second Li Zicheng, in that case, he should really find a rope to hang himself.
