In the camp tent, only Li Zhen and Zheng Zaoru remained.

Li Zhen sat on the main seat, while Zheng Zaoru sat first on the left side of the conference table.

A piece of rice paper was placed on the table in front of Li Zhen, and he said: "Taiwan's importance as a barrier to the country is self-evident. I've talked to you about a few things before that, but it's not specific or detailed. Let me sort out your thinking again and make clear the next ruling policy, Taiwan cannot withstand the toss, so it must do a good job. ”

Zheng Zaoru said respectfully: "Please show it to the prince!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook with pen and ink next to it, ready to take notes at any time.

Li Zhen continued: "First, consolidate coastal defense. I asked Su Lei to station troops in Taiwan, on the one hand, to deter foreigners, but more importantly, to assist you. During your tenure, both of you must build a strong navy and build up your maritime power. You can contact Dai Yuanhua in Guangzhou and ask Dai Yuanhua to provide for the construction of warships and establish a sea power. ”

"In addition to building defense forces at sea, it is also necessary to build a machine factory in Taiwan. There were no craftsmen, so they also approached Dai Yuanhua and asked him to send craftsmen to Taiwan to build factories, build mechanical bases, manufacture cannons, guns and ammunition, and equip the army. Taiwan is surrounded by the Huaihai Sea and is vulnerable to attack, so it is necessary to strengthen the forts of Anping, Magong, Xiyu and other forts, and equip them with powerful artillery. Everything must be aimed at strengthening armaments and enhancing the combat effectiveness of Taiwan's armed forces. ”

Li Zhen's speed of speaking is not fast, and Zheng Zaoru is a person from a pen, and the speed of writing with a brush is also extremely fast, and the record is quickly completed.

Zheng Zaoru looked up at Li Zhen and waited for Li Zhen to continue.

Li Zhen glanced at the outline on the paper and said: "The second point is to establish Taiwan's transportation system and realize north-south transportation. At present, railway technology has matured in countries such as Britain and Italy, and Taiwan can completely build railways to realize north-south connectivity. Once Taiwan's railways are built, the time from south to north will be greatly improved, which will be of great help to you in mastering Taiwan. There is no construction of railways in China, and I will deal with it in the next stage, and now that it has been proposed, you can implement it first. ”

Zheng Zaoru scratched his head, not knowing what a railway was.

At the moment, Zheng Zaoru could only write it down honestly, ready to ask an Englishman. In Zheng Zaoru's heart, he worshiped Li Zhen even more, and he had already begun to worship him.

Li Zhen revealed too many things, which opened his eyes.

After Zheng Zaoru finished recording the second article, Li Zhen continued: "The third point is to build an enterprise. It is very difficult for a place to develop and get rich without the support of enterprises. Just relying on the people to farm and farm, the people can't make much money when they are tired to death. During your tenure as governor of Taiwan, you can make great strides. ”

"However, when I let you try, it does not mean that you will be allowed to build factories, but that you should encourage businessmen to build factories, or even unite the development of foreign enterprises to develop the economy. In addition, you can also set up investment promotion bureaus to attract investment in various places. Taiwan is well connected in all directions, and you can go to Singapore, Luzon, Saigon and other places to attract investment. Our people are scattered in various countries, and it is completely feasible to attract investment, and I believe that they are also willing to support the country's prosperity. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen said: "Only when the economy develops and there is money can we have enough confidence." When you don't have money, I can allocate funds to you, and you can even raise donations from Taiwan. But this is not a long-term way, only if you have money in your pocket and can make money, can you have the most confidence, I hope that Taiwan's economy can develop healthily. ”

After Zheng Zaoru finished recording, he said: "I will do a good job little by little, three years not for five years, five years not for ten years." Within 10 years, I will definitely build Taiwan into a strong and prosperous maritime barrier for the Qing Dynasty. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "It's right to have this ambition. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "The fourth point is to appease Taiwan's local ethnic minorities and cultivate agriculture. Taiwan's economy has developed, but it still needs to be supported by agriculture. If Taiwan's grain is insufficient, Taiwan's development will also be constrained, so it is indispensable to complement each other's development, and we absolutely must not emphasize agriculture over business, or emphasize business over agriculture. ”

Zheng Zaoru nodded and quickly jotted it down.

"There are a lot of Han Chinese in Taiwan, and there are also a lot of locals. The Han Chinese are large in number and may rely on their own strength to seize the land of a small number of local people, and these must be dealt with without favoritism. However, when a small number of local ethnic groups come out to plunder, they must also be suppressed strongly, but they must be used with both grace and power, and they must be moved with emotion and reason, so as to gather the hearts of the people in Taiwan together. ”

"Whew! Call!! ”

Zheng Zaoru let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the content was too much.

Li Zhen continued: "The fifth point is the financial issue. I believe that the most important thing in Taiwan's finances at present is to clean up the fields. At no time in the past, there has been no shortage of encroachments on fertile land and occupation of land, and Taiwan is no exception. In my opinion, there is definitely a matter of the gentry and officials forcibly occupying the fertile land. You have to clear the acres of land and complete the work step by step. ”

"Sixth, the issue of education. In order for Taiwan to develop, it is necessary to have a large number of talented people to participate in it, so that Taiwan can be developed and Taiwan's development by leaps and bounds. Not only in Taiwan, but also in China, I will carry out reforms, establish schools, hire foreigners to teach English, French, mathematics, physics and chemistry, surveying and mapping, history, geography and other courses, and then set up Chinese classics and history writing, so that our people can understand both inside and outside. The people who are selected and cultivated can be helped completely free of charge, because they are our talents and hope for the future. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhen drank a few sips of tea in a row, and his mouth was not so dry.

A lot of words, it's really laborious.

After Zheng Zaoru finished recording, he looked at the large content in the notebook, and his face was no longer excited, but with a thick melancholy, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

When Li Zhen said the first and second points, Zheng Zaoru thought that according to Li Zhen's concept, a new Taiwan would definitely be created. But after listening to Li Zhen's detailed explanation, there was only solemnity in my heart, and there was no longer any relaxation. There are so many things to deal with at the moment, and the situation is extremely grim, and every point of implementation is a big project.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely carry out the six main points you said and govern Taiwan well." Zheng Zaoru said solemnly that he already plans to take root here and completely change Taiwan.

Li Zhen said: "It's good to have the idea of working hard, but I'm going to give you a dose of preventive shots in advance." These six points cannot be accomplished overnight, don't rush, be steady. In the process of implementation, there will be countless difficulties, but I hope that you will make unremitting efforts, not afraid of danger, not afraid of the powerful, and not moved by interests. At all times, I am your strong backing, just do it, I will support you. ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Zaoru stood up, bowed deeply, and showed his respect for Li Zhen. After Li Zhen arranged it for Zheng Zaoru, he then prepared for the next trip to Japan.
