Thanks to Ms. Tu's Nobel Prize, Artemisia annua has also entered the public eye. As a businessman, Xu Yuanzuo must be concerned about social hot issues, although he thinks that it is absurd for many people to discuss whether this discovery has anything to do with "traditional Chinese medicine", but he also remembers the characteristics of artemisinin that is afraid of high temperatures and almost insoluble in water.

Xu Yuanzuo did not know how to refute the question raised by many "science enthusiasts" that it was impossible for the ancient Chinese to extract and use artemisinin correctly with alcohol. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't give lessons for free. Anyway, the mysterious ancient Chinese were just goldfingers open, and from the thousands of Chinese herbs, they identified "Artemisia annua" - or other messy names.

Artemisia annua is cultivated in a wide range, the growing environment is not picky, the growth rate is not slow, and the cost of medicine is low even among cheap Chinese medicines. Of course, Xu Yuanzuo will not follow the old path of "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", and then soak it in water and then grind the juice. He could have soaked the artemisia annua with the distilled high-grade liquor, and then distilled it to obtain crystallization.

Yes, according to the ideas provided by Xu Yuanzuo, Li Teng did successfully extract the crystals. But what exactly is this crystal, how many impurities are there, and what are the components of impurities...... Xu Yuanzuo didn't know anything about these life-threatening issues. However, the ultimate profit of this project still has to fall on these pale yellow crystals of unknown composition - it is said that artemisinin crystals are colorless needle-like crystals, but Xu Yuanzuo really can't do it!

As for the high-grade sake produced during the research process, there is no way to commercialize it because of its extremely poor taste. As an industrial raw material, it is faced with the inability to industrialize mass production. This is destined to make the small jar of "special medicine" brought by Xu Yuanzuo this time invaluable.

Malaria is not a common disease in Jiangnan, and it is impossible to talk about large-scale drug testing. Xu Yuanzuo's itinerary did not wait for anyone, so he had to take it to Fujian to try. There are many mountain people here in Fujian. Malaria is also a common disease, and it happens to be divided into three control groups and tested.

The first group used traditional local treatment methods in Fujian Province and invited several famous doctors from Fuzhou Prefecture; The second group used the treatment plan of famous doctors in Jiangnan, and it was not easy for them to reach a consensus among the ten famous doctors; The third group is to use the special medicine brought by Xu Yuanzuo, which is the simplest and most convenient. Pick a spoonful - it is said that you will not die and take it with Japanese sake.

This experiment delayed Xu Yuanzuo for nearly half a month, but the result was unsatisfactory. Three control groups, five patients in each group, the first two groups resulted in two cured and three deceased. Xu Yuanzuo's data is better than them, and I can't see where it goes, but three people were cured and two died. However, in terms of healing time, Xu Yuanzuo's group is faster.

Because there are too many unpredictable factors in the experiment. And there are too few samples, so Lin Daoqian is still suspicious of Xu Yuanzuo's so-called special medicine.

Xu Yuanzuo wanted to reason with him well, but seeing his posture of "I don't listen, I don't listen", he had to be tough:

"The most profitable thing to develop Taiwan is your family! I am far away in Jiangnan, and the Zheng family also has a stable livelihood in Changle. Our opening is the icing on the cake, and if we don't open it, it will not hinder the overall situation. And if you don't open the stage, you can only sit back and wait. ”

Of course, there is an element of intimidation in Xu Yuanzuo's words. But it was pointed at Lin Daoqian's soft underbelly. Lin Daoqian is now settled in Chaoyang, and he can be regarded as accepting Zhao'an. But he is not the same as Zheng Zhilong, who was later recruited. He wants land without land, he wants waterways without waterways, how can he feed so many people who defect to him? These people are not good men and women, if Lin Daoqian does not support them, they will go to support themselves, and the result is that the court blames Lin Daoqian.

Lin Daoqian was very angry about this. But Xu Yuanzuo is hiding in Changle Zheng Mansion, and the bad family is also a family with two Jinshi and a bunch of people, so he can only sigh that the whip is beyond his reach.

This side is hard, and the other side is going to be soft.

Xu Yuanzuo also selected some of the belongings he brought to Fujian, which were nothing more than brocade jewelry. They are all liked by women, and they are given to Lin Daoqian's concubine - that is, the Nanjing girl who made a cameo translation that day.

This girl was originally from Yangzhou, and was sold to Nanjing as a thin horse, and was later bought back to Fujian by Minnan Haike, and was robbed by Lin Dao halfway. She wasn't originally a virgin martyr, so who was she not with? became Lin Daoqian's virtuous helper.

Judging from the knowledge, this capital-educated girls' school book is even better than Lin Daoqian. She has long realized that there is no safety without a place to live, and the imperial court will recruit an in awe of Lin Daoqian, a tiger on the sea. Once Lin Daoqian becomes a sick cat who betrays his relatives, who will keep it? And Taiwan is a good place where you come and go, but no one really settles.

At this time, there was still half a century before the Europeans got involved in Taiwan.

"Even if there is no Jiangnan guest, there is no Changle Zheng family, we should occupy this island." The girls' school secretary said: "Didn't you say that this island is quite vast enough to achieve a hegemony? ”

Lin Daoqian was very convinced of this essentially Mrs. Zhai, and expressed his concerns: "Malaria is too serious......

"Doesn't that Xu Yuanzuo have a special medicine?"

"Fuck it, if you take it, you'll still die." Lin Dao said dryly.

The lady said, "But I heard that three of the five are still alive." You think, out of fifty, you will live thirty, five hundred will live three hundred, and five thousand will live three thousand. Three thousand is not enough for you to dominate one side? As for the two thousand who died, what does it matter to you? ”

Lin Daoqian only saw the mortality rate of four out of tenth, and thought it was still too scary, but his lover calculated such an account for him, and he felt that it was not unacceptable. As long as enough people are removed, it is not their own family members who die.

"Not to mention the fact that the name heals the disease. Didn't Xu Yuanzuo say that as long as he is not bitten by mosquitoes, he will not be infected with malaria. The girls' school secretary said angrily: "As a result, it is like if you are bound to contract malaria as long as you go to that island!" If you are cowardly like this, what sea do you go? Buy a few acres of land on land. ”

Lin Daoqian refused to be underestimated by his lover, and said, "What do you know? Can malaria scare me? To be honest, the Zheng family is not a faceless person in Changle. How many wealthy families are pressing on his family's head? If he really squeezed out the sugar in Taiwan, where would he sell it? ”

Hearing this, the girls' school book rolled her eyes and said, "Where can't you sell it?" Fujian and Guangdong can't be sold, and Jiangnan can't be sold? Do you know who the elder is? That's the Prime Minister! He is the biggest under the emperor, and his family's business is still afraid that he can't sell it? ”

Lin Daoqian really didn't know the status of the elder. However, all those who put the word "old" on the stall are definitely not ordinary people, such as the village elder, the old man, and the emperor's old man......

"Of course I do!" He forced his mouth and said: "But if they have an extra load of sugar here, the sugar stores in Fujian and Guangdong will sell one less load." Do you think those people will be able to spare this piece of fat? ”

"Not necessarily, I don't believe that Daming eats the sugar of the two of them." The woman was not convinced.

"Okay, take 10,000 steps back. Even if they don't hinder others from making money, what if people have hot eyes? "The forest road is dry.

The girls' school book smiled: "I also said that I am not timid." Isn't this why people pulled you into partnership? Who can't just kill those natives? How do you say that it is also a big Buddha in the Fujian Sea! ”

Lin Daoqian was stunned for a moment, and he felt that what the woman said was irrefutable.

"We still have the old Ben to do this with others, in two years, those 'brothers' under your command will go their own way, do you want to do business with others, and people will take care of you? Besides, if we go to Taiwan now, it will be weaker for a while. But before the fat came out, no one was staring at us, was there? Waiting for the big households in Fujian and Guangdong to react, we also got the silver, there are ships and people, and when the time comes, whether to leave or stay is not up to us? ”

Lin Daoqian chewed repeatedly in his mouth, and felt that this woman was even more reasonable. Last time, Xu Xiaobai's face said that he was like a frog stewed in warm water, and he didn't jump out quickly. When the water boils, you can't jump out.

Hey, that's a similar argument.

Lin Daoqian felt a little apprehensive in his heart. There are some stinginess that are not as knowledgeable as women. He put his arms around Mrs. Zhai, who was as soft as a boneless, and sniffed closely: "How do you always speak for that little white face, could it be that you have taken a fancy to him?" ”

The girls' school book chuckled: "If it was ten or eight years earlier, maybe I would really fall in love with him." ”

Lin Daoqian pinched her ass and made a fierce look.

"Sensible women always like big heroes from all over the world. That kind of little white face, where can it be compared? The girls' school book slowly circled on Lin Daoqian's exposed bronze chest. There seemed to be infinite magic power on his fingertips, which made Lin Daoqian's heart beat fast, and the whole person seemed to be burning.

One night of wind and rain, I don't know that the east is white.

In December of the fourth year of Longqing, the south also reached the coldest time of the year. However, Taiwan is still as warm as spring. There is no color of decay on the island. Lin Daoqian's choice of landing place for Xu Yuanzuo and the Zheng family was in Beigang, the reason is very simple, this is already a mature port, which can berth large ships. The northwest is Penghu, which is convenient for early warning. In the era of the Jiajing Great War, Beigang was an important port. Later, Yan Siqi, Zheng Zhilong and others operated Taiwan, and they also used Beigang as a base to gradually move south.

Beigang was also called Weigang before, and many people used Beigang to refer to Taiwan, which shows its great influence. The natives near this port are Madousha - of course, there is no such name yet. Xu Yuanzuo doesn't know much about the history of Taiwan's aborigines, but judging from the famous Madouxi incident in history, these Pingpu people are a relatively strong people with their own dignity. And they don't hunt heads, and occasionally trade with Ming pirates and fishermen.

After Xu Yuanzuo landed on the island of Taiwan with Luo Zhenquan and a group of guards, he found that it was not as difficult as he imagined. In addition to the mature port, Beigang also has a humble city. Although it can't be compared with the walled cities on the mainland, it already has simple defense capabilities. At least the natives will never be able to break through.

There are traces of reclamation inside and outside the city. The inside of the castle is mostly vegetables, and the outside of the castle looks like rice, but judging from the spacing and area, agriculture is only a supplement to the castle, and I am afraid that it is difficult to achieve even self-sufficiency.

"This is your territory?" Xu Yuanzuo asked Lin Daoqian. He was a little puzzled, if Lin Daoqian already had such a port, why did he still push back and block the development of Taiwan?

Lin Daoqian squinted his eyes, as if he was considering whether to answer Xu Yuanzuo's words.

After a long time, Xu Yuanzuo no longer expected his answer - because he remembered that Lin Daoqian couldn't understand the official language.

It wasn't until the translation came that Lin Daoqian knew Xu Yuanzuo's question and replied: "From today on, this is my territory." ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that it was not good when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Luo Zhenquan to prepare for the battle.

Lin Daoqian took three steps and made two steps, and rushed to the avenue in the center of the city with his brothers, and ordered people to beat gongs and drums: "From now on, this is the territory of my Lin someone, if you are obedient, a good life is now." If you dare to disagree, hum, don't blame the old man for having no eyes! ”

The inhabitants of North Harbor did not react, neither objected nor shouted, calmly as if they had seen the daily ebb and flow.

Lin Daoqian motioned for Xu Yuanzuo to come over, and said through the translation: "Now this is my territory." Let's talk about how to divide the money. ”

Regarding this point, Xu Yuanzuo has already talked to Zheng Zhi.

Considering that this is a comprehensive project integrating agricultural development, military defense, transportation and sales, the unified distribution of profits will undoubtedly produce all kinds of disputes. Therefore, Xu Yuanzuo's suggestion was that Zheng Zhi should organize immigrants to carry out reclamation and planting on the island, including harvesting and squeezing sugar. Xu Yuanzuo underwrote these Taiwanese sugars and paid Zheng Zhi the price of the sugar. As for the sales situation, Zheng Zhi does not need to know.

As for Lin Daoqian's income, it comes from port loading and unloading and customs duties.

For every load of sugar in Beigang, Lin Daoqian had to be charged a tariff of five dollars of silver. If you go to other commercial goods, you will discuss it at that time.

Zheng Zhi was also afraid of attracting a backlash from Changle and even the entire Fuzhou Prefecture, so he repeatedly cared for Xu Yuanzuo to transport the sugar to the north of Jiangnan for sale. Because most of the Fujian sugar is shipped to Guangdong and then sold to Europeans from the window of Macau, this can minimize the antipathy of other families to the Zheng family.

Xu Yuanzuo is in control of the northern route, how can the profit from selling to Jiangnan be as high as Beijing? Even if Zheng Zhi doesn't say it, he is ready to focus on the northern market. If you can knock on the Liaodong market and directly exchange sucrose for deer antler velvet and Liao ginseng, it will be a profitable deal. However, since Zheng Zhi exposed his hole cards early, Xu Yuanzuo naturally had to bargain inch by inch, and finally lowered the price of Taiwanese sugar to one or two or five cents of silver.

Counting the five coins given to Lin Daoqian, the FOB price is two taels and one quintal.

Not to mention Beijing, the market price of high-grade white sugar in Jiangnan is four to six cents per catty, and a load of three hundred catties is twelve taels to eighteen taels. If 10,000 quintals of sand sugar can be harvested every quarter, Zheng Zhi will be able to have 15,000 taels of silver in his account. Lin Daoqian can receive five thousand taels.

As for Xu Yuanzuo, if he hadn't suffered natural or man-made disasters, his annual income of 100,000 taels could be expected.
