Theoretically, Zheng Sen could have relied on a forced order to plant what crops in a certain village, but Zheng Sen did not want to do this, because in his opinion, there was an obvious problem with this, that is, too much power had to be used to maintain internal order. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At a time when every second counts, this seems like a waste. Zheng Sen feels that there is a natural difference between those villages in Taiwan and those on the mainland. That is, the villages on the mainland are almost completely self-sufficient, while the villages in Taiwan are not able to do this. Because they have one important thing that is very scarce, and that is women. As long as there is something that is not self-sufficient, the natural economy can easily be broken, even if this scarce and non-self-sufficient thing is a woman. In the absence of women, these villages had to solve their problems through trade, and in this way, they could be transformed from villages of natural economy into plantations by trade and economic means. Of course, sooner or later, the scarcity of women will end, and sooner or later these immigrant villages in Taiwan will be able to become self-sufficient in this matter. But Zheng Sen is sure that by that time, the plantation economic model must have been formed. Although in the longer term, sooner or later, such a "backward" economic model as plantations will be eliminated by industrialization. But for now, at least, for the Zheng family, it is somehow much more efficient than the natural economy.

The first choice of the village chiefs is to grow sugar cane and poppies, which is a little slower, but it seems to be much more stable than going into the mountains to cut down trees and serving as soldiers to fight. Chinese habitually prefer more comforting choices. Moreover, the brothers Wang Ren and Wang Yi were also very enthusiastic about them, and their introductions were also very detailed. For example, the village chief Zhang knows that of all the villages, his village is the most suitable for growing opium poppies.

"Brother Zhang, if you grow poppies or sugarcane in other villages, it is estimated that it will take three years to earn the money to buy a Nanyang daughter-in-law, but Brother Zhang, your village is different, if your village grows this, two years is definitely enough, and you can save some extra money." If it were me, I would simply not have planted even food, but all poppies, because the grain was worthless anyway, and I could buy a lot of it when I went to the owner's house. ”

If you don't grow crops, this kind of thing, Village Chief Zhang still won't think about it, after all, for those of them who have been hungry, nothing is as good as food that can fill their stomachs. However, listening to what Wang Ren and Wang Yi said, and then considering the price of the owner to collect this thing, it is definitely not a loss to grow some opium poppies.

However, without waiting for Village Chief Zhang to ask more, someone found Wang Ren again

"Oh, Brother Wang, what do you think our village is suitable for?"

"Lao Li, your village, there is no dry land in your village. Neither of these is a good fit. Even if they are barely planted, they are definitely not as good as them. If you want me to say, it's better for the young man in your village to be a sailor, it's good to be a sailor, there are fish and meat every day, and you can be free of rent for a lifetime if you work for a few years, where can you find such a good thing? You say no......"

In short, the plantation of the whole Taiwan has been smoothly started. At least as Zheng Sen prepares to leave Taiwan, everything looks like it's on track.

……

At the Beigang Wharf, the Fubo training ship was hanging full flags and was waiting for Zheng Sen to board the ship, and on the gangplank of boarding, Zheng Sen was saying goodbye to Zheng Zhifeng.

"Ah Sen, don't worry, your third uncle won't do anything else, everything will come according to your old rules, Xiao Gui Cao will follow, I still know this, no." Your third uncle, I'm ready to be Cao Shen. Zheng Zhifeng said. In this short period of time, Zheng Zhifeng was really impressed when he saw that Zheng Sen had put Taiwan in order in less than a year, and once asked Zheng Sen how he did it. Zheng Sen once again persuaded his third uncle to read more, especially to read more history books.

"In fact, many practices were learned from the ancients. If you look at the history books, there are many examples of successes and failures. If you want to be free, third uncle, you can read more about "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian". If you have any ideas, we can also study them together. At that time, Zheng Sen said this to Zheng Zhifeng.

As a result, Zheng Zhifeng really listened to it, anyway, there was no entertainment here in Beigang, but he really read the book, although he hasn't finished reading "Historical Records" yet, but at least Xiao Guicao already knows this idiom.

"How dare my nephew compare with Xiao Hecheng? The third uncle saw that there was anything inappropriate in his nephew's approach, and he had to change it when he changed it. Zheng Sen said with a smile.

"Anyway, here in Taiwan, don't worry, Asen, there will be no chaos. It's you who go back this time, prepare well, and come back with another first place. I'm just waiting for your good news in Taiwan. Well, what does that drama say, 'From now on, I will confess without a heartfelt courtesy, and listen to the first sound of spring thunder'. Zheng Zhifeng said with a smile.

Zheng Sen went back this time because the time for the biannual government examination was approaching. After listening to Zheng Zhifeng's words, Zheng Sen couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you Third Uncle Jiyan, it's just that the third uncle's poem is not quite right, what the monk said when he said this, the third uncle is not a monk." ”

"I finally read two lines of poetry, as long as it is the general meaning, how can I care so much." Zheng Zhifeng also laughed proudly, "Okay, the hour is almost up, Asen, you should also get on the boat." ”

When Zheng Sen heard this, he saluted Zheng Zhifeng, turned around, and was about to step on the gangplank to board the boat and leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the Fubo behind him: "What a big whale!" Lao Tzu has never seen such a big one in his life! It's really scared to death! ”

“mygod!”

"Oh my God!"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Sen's vision was blocked by the Fubo behind him, and he couldn't see anything. asked Liu De, who was following him. Now that Liu De is following Zheng Sen, he is already Zheng Sen's scholar, but Zheng Sen did not let him change his surname.

"Young Master, I'll take a look!" After Liu De finished speaking, he took three steps and made two steps and got on the boat, then was stunned, and then flew down: "Young Master, Third Master, you can also go up and have a look, our whaling ship has been towed back...... Dragged back a whale the size of a mountain! It's true! ”

When Zheng Sen heard this, he turned his head to Zheng Zhifeng and said, "Third uncle, let's go up and have a look together?" ”

"Good! Let's take a look! ”

The two of them boarded the Fubo together, and saw a whaling ship entering the harbor, and on one side of the ship, dragging a large whale that seemed to be longer than the other whaling ship. The gray-blue whale's carcass dragged the whaling ship a little crooked.

"It's ...... It's a blue whale! God, the sailors and captains of this ship are truly remarkable warriors! Captain Jack pointed to the huge whale and said to Zheng Sen, "A blue whale! King of the Sea! Oh my God! Major General, I'm sorry, I'm going to miss me, I'm going to go to that boat to pay tribute to that brave captain, and ask him to take my knees, it's a miracle, it's amazing! Such a huge, fast, tough whale! Terrific! "Obviously, the whaling ship's results have left Captain Jack almost out of control.

"Captain Jack, let's welcome them together, and I'm interested in how they managed to catch such a whale." Zheng Sen also said.

So the group got off the boat again and walked to the trestle on the other side. As he walked, Captain Jack was still praising the brave whaling ship and the immortal deeds they had accomplished.

"Major General, that's a blue whale! Oh God, a blue whale! It is not comparable to those sperm whales and right whales, it is not only several times larger than them, but also stronger and faster than them, a right whale can only swim up to 5 knots, a sperm whale can only swim up to 10 knots at the fastest, and this great whale can reach a speed of more than 25 knots when sprinting, twice as fast as the fastest ship in the world! God, no whaling ship can catch up with it, it can throw a boat off for kilometers in the time it takes to catch its breath! And it's so powerful! It can easily overturn the sailors' dinghy, it doesn't need to actually hit it with its tail fin, it only needs to slap the water with its tail fin, and the waves are enough to overturn it. So no whaling ship has ever been able to hunt a blue whale, never has even the best sailor and the best captain been able to do this, and of course, now that there is, he is so amazing that we should erect a life-size bronze statue of him in North Harbor! It's great! ”

At this time, the whaling ship had also docked on the pier. An officer ran over and shouted, "Where is your captain?" Come down and meet the three generals and the major generals! ”

So the people on board hurriedly lowered the gangplank, and a man wearing a captain's hat ran down from the boat.

"Three generals, major generals!" The man saluted excitedly.

"Don?! It's you! How do you do it! It's unbelievable! Well done awesome! Before Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhifeng could speak, Captain Jack, who was obviously still in a state of excitement, shouted first.

Jack knew the captain of the ship, Tangshan, because a few months ago, the guy had just graduated from his ship.

"Captain Tang, we want to take a look at your ship, and by the way, find out how you caught this big guy, okay?" Zheng Sen asked.

"Of course, of course...... Major General...... It's just that the boat is dirty...... "Tangshan is obviously a little flattered.

"Then ask Captain Tang to lead the way." Zheng Sen said.

Tangshan took the lead, Zheng Sen followed, and several people got on the boat. There was blood everywhere on the deck, and the smell of blood hit everyone's noses. The sailors were busy, some were loading large chunks of blubber cut from the blue whales below into wooden barrels to be sent to the refinery for refining, and others were using pulleys to lift more blubber and whale meat onto the ship. When they found that Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhifeng were on the boat, they all stopped, not knowing what to do.

"Captain Tang, let them get on with their work." Zheng Sen said, "Also, tell us how you caught it." ”
