The fifth volume destroys the barbarians and sweeps the world

Alas, Zheng Zhilong was a comfortable person after all, or he had lost the spirit of hard work in his early years, and he was too afraid of the Dutch's ship fortification.

Qin Haoming is now planning to prepare for entering Taiwan, but he obviously retreated.

Because, Qin Haoming wanted to touch the Hongmaoyi entrenched in Tainan, that is, the Dutch.

For Zheng Zhilong, it is okay to transport people to other parts of Taiwan as a foothold in the future, but he is unwilling to move Hongyi in Tainan.

However, this is also human nature, Qin Haoming did not ask too much, but turned to ask about Taiwan.

In this regard, Zheng Zhilong is definitely a Taiwan expert in this era.

"It's easy to grow rice in Taiwan, but it's easier to grow sweet potatoes.

Some people in the army brought sweet potatoes over, and they were originally planted at will, just as a joke.

Who expected that the sweet potato grew very large, and the growth time was reduced by nearly half compared with the Ming Dynasty, and the sweet potato that grew out was big and sweet, and the taste was excellent......"

Qin Haoming was a little surprised when he heard it at first, but he was relieved when he thought about it.

In Taiwan, rice is cropped twice a year, and the growth cycle is 120 days at a time, and the rice cropping is 100 days at a time, and the yield is extremely high.

Later generations became known as the granary of the sea, and its rice production was more than enough to feed the whole island and could be exported.

With high temperatures, plenty of sunshine every year, and a humid and rainy climate that is enough to irrigate farmland, it is a good place to feed many people even without modern agriculture.

Its agriculture is very good, the fruit yield is high, the taste is good, and there are many varieties.

However, in the early days of the Taiwan exhibition, in addition to rice, there were three most important crops: tea, sugar cane, and sweet potato.

Even three hundred years later, many Taiwanese people have sweet potatoes in their memories, which is one of the most important foods for the Taiwanese people, big, sweet, and rare good things.

Sugarcane is also important, Qin Haoming is ready to plant a large number of cash crops such as sugarcane in the future, as long as the grain is enough.

From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Taiwan's most important export commodity was sugar, and sugarcane was sold overseas from the end of the Ming Dynasty.

It is difficult for later generations to imagine that in this era, not only salt was the most sought-after commodity controlled by the imperial court, but white sugar was a luxury item that was rarer and more expensive than salt!

Luxury goods are easy to make money, and the Dingnan Army needs money.

"Sooner or later, Taiwan will have to relocate and settle down on a large scale." Qin Haoming said with a final word: "If you don't plan anything, you will be wasted!"

If Daming wants to solve the food crisis, such a grain-producing land must not be let go.

At present, the population there is less than 10,000, and it is enough to grow some rice.

What if there are 100,000 or even 200,000?

Maybe in a year or two.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been resettled, and there are benefits of sea trade, and then take agriculture as the foundation, if Taiwan is the foundation, and the division is fighting for the South Seas, without farming, it is like a tree without roots. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Haoming couldn't help but be excited......

Everything is slowly unfolding, and in this era he has already mastered half of the world.

With Fujian and Guangdong as the core, they actively moved the Han people into the island, controlled the South Seas with a small number of men and trade methods, and then took advantage of the situation to fight the most vicious enemies.

Although Jiannu is still far away at the moment, the two sides only have a small-scale fight on an insignificant battlefield.

But at least for now, everything Qin Haoming has done has sufficient returns, making him more confident.

I also feel that I have extraordinary power in my hands, and my every move can affect such a big place and control the fate of countless people!

A feeling of turmoil and turmoil, above the top, arises spontaneously!

Zheng Zhilong has no ambition, which is actually not bad!

I believe that after the rise of the navy, he can only bow down to the Ming Dynasty and submit to the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life and dare not move.

In April, Yin Yuang went south with a group of new soldiers who had completed training from Xuanda.

There are too many rivers in the south, and the forests are so lush, at this time, the weather in Xuanda is still very cold, and the house still needs to be warmed by a fire.

And here in Fuzhou, the weather is already warm, and of course the padded jacket can't be worn.

People have long changed their robes, and according to the words of the robes and others in the army, in another month, they will not be able to wear the jacket at all, but will have to wear a single shirt!

In this kind of weather, of course, the newcomers are a little uncomfortable, but Yin Yung not only does not have too much discomfort, but on the contrary, he has a considerable sense of excitement and excitement.

Finally, you can dominate the world!

The wind blowing on the face does not have the cold and biting feeling of the Datong wind at all, on the contrary, it is warm and moist, and the saltiness of the sea breeze adds a bit of excitement.

"We don't have to go into town." Yin Yuang said to everyone: "Let's take a break here and wait for the instructions of the Marquis of Qin." ”

There are seven city gates in Fuzhou, and there are soup gates, well building gates, and water departments outside the four gates of east, west, north and south.

As you can tell from the name of the gate, this is a city that was born and thrived with water.

As early as the Song Dynasty, because of the development of overseas trade, Fuzhou and Quanzhou were the two important trading towns in Fujian, of course, Quanzhou was even more important in the Song Dynasty, and there were more than 1,000 ships docked every day.

Fuzhou is a grade worse than Quanzhou, but it was also an important trade port city in those years, and it was very prosperous and developed.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, foreign merchants controlled the Fuzhou rebellion and cooperated with the Yuan army to slaughter the city, and the entire city was destroyed.

After 300 years of redevelopment, Fuzhou has become the most prosperous city in Fujian Province.

After a long period of sea ban, Fuzhou has surpassed Quanzhou, but neither city is as prosperous as it was during the Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone was outside the east gate, and there were many people living outside the city gate, and the small village-like buildings became market towns, and then became more and more prosperous and dense, and gradually became the location of half cities and half market towns.

The shops and alleys are chaotic, and the outside of the city is full of walking people and business travelers, as well as travelers of all kinds who enter the city of Fuzhou.

The people from Xuanda kept looking at the situation here, and for these Shanxi people, the situation in Fuzhou was like a foreign land, full of all kinds of different customs.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and the dress and temperament are completely different from those of the other person.

Compared to northerners, people in the coastal areas of the south are generally smaller and darker-skinned.

But the women here are all well-proportioned, very fair-skinned, maybe the sea breeze can blow the man's face, but make the woman's complexion more moist and bright?

After waiting for the Governor's Palace to announce that they were free to roam, many people wandered around to taste the local snacks.

"Oysters are fried." Li Xiang pointed to a snack and said to Yin Yuang:

"If you don't eat this when you come to Fujian, it's equivalent to coming in vain. There are also some big dishes, but you have to taste them slowly, and the street snacks are the first to be fried fish balls and oysters. ”
