On this day, the logistics fleet led by Han Yanzhou arrived in Penghu, and as soon as he got off the boat, Han Yanzhou heard the good news from Taiwan and learned that he had successfully boarded the 6 two days earlier. Han Yanxuan was in a good mood, and Mao Geng was also sincerely happy.
Immediately, Han Yanxuan and Mao Geng were invited into the Chinese military tent set up by Zhao Lu in Penghu, after Jiang Bokui introduced the situation in Taiwan one by one, Mao Geng was very surprised, he did not expect that the Song army in front of him would establish an understanding of demolition compensation with the natives so quickly.
It is said that He Dalai held a peaceful consultation with the indigenous representatives that day, and the crux of the negotiation was the issue of compensation standards. In fact, the compensation standard of the Great Song Dynasty has been improved, on the basis of He Dalai's original compensation standard, the biscuits have been doubled, and the cloak has been increased to one room to compensate for one piece, but the large items have not changed, and it is still three rooms to compensate for one tent.
The current situation is that only one group of natives does not accept this condition, and the rest of the natives have already received compensation and will no longer fight against the Song army. Since the natives could not defeat the Song army, the so-called retreat was wide, so most of them decided to stop resisting and take compensation first. In this way, the Song army was able to advance cautiously in most directions, and in the case of natives, whether good or bad, they were compensated according to this standard.
However, there was a group of natives who refused to give up, and they even opened their mouths and demanded compensation for two tents in a dilapidated hut, and nothing else, so the two sides were still at a stalemate. In this direction of this group of natives, the two sides maintained a state of calm confrontation at this time, and although there was a temporary truce, the sense of confrontation was still very strong.
Regarding the unreasonable demands of this group of natives, Li Tongzuo believes that we should not be too accommodating to the natives, otherwise it will make the appetite of the natives bigger and bigger, and the demands put forward by this group of natives are too outrageous to accommodate them in any case. Zhao Lian also felt that Li Tongzuo's consideration was very reasonable, who knows how many natives there are in Taiwan, if the standard of compensation is too high, the money will not be enough to spend. The imperial court's budget for the occupation and construction of Taiwan is 1 million guan, and about 400,000 guan has been spent so far.
No one knows how many of the natives have shacks that are not worthy of housing at all, if 12,000 are returned, if there are 108,000 houses, the compensation for demolition and relocation alone will cost all the money, which is far from enough!
Zhao Luan is very high-spirited, and he will not apply to the imperial court for an increase in the budget unless he has to.
The idea of "compensation for demolition" was put forward by Mao Geng at that time, and Zhao Lu thought of Mao Geng at the first time, and I don't know if Mao Geng has a better way to solve this problem. As for the solution that Zhao Lian could think of, it was actually proposed by Li Tongzuo, which was to use strong means against this group of natives - dissatisfied? Beat him until he wears! Even at the expense of killing. As the saying goes, without thunderbolts, it is difficult to show the bodhisattva's heart, which is what it is called.
Mao Gengxin said that this is just a demolition and a nail household, and this kind of bad thing is commonplace in later generations. The asking price of this group of nail households is indeed too outrageous, and it costs almost seventeen or eighteen yuan to calculate a broken shack, and if they are all at this price, the cost is indeed a little too high. Mao Geng felt that the practice of "changing the face for face" in later generations of demolition compensation is worth referencing, and the amount of area to be demolished will be compensated for how much area, according to this principle, a shed to compensate for a tent is the appropriate compensation standard, and now the standard of three sheds to compensate for a tent is obviously low. However, the high-level leaders of the Great Song Dynasty, including Zhao Luan, are afraid that they will not agree to "face for face", because the dilapidated shacks of the indigenous people are almost worthless to the Great Song Dynasty.
Mao Geng felt that what should be said was still to be said, and after sorting out his thoughts, Mao Geng expressed several views with the people present:
The first point is that these natives are the aborigines here, and they will be called aborigines after Mao Geng's construction, and the Great Song Dynasty not only occupies the aborigines' sheds, but also occupies the land on which they relied for their livelihood, so they cannot be valued purely by the value of the sheds, and it is natural to give more compensation to the aborigines.
The second point is that for the aborigines, do not use force unless absolutely necessary, especially not to kill people on a large scale, which will seriously violate the principle of "hanging the people and killing the crime" of the Great Song Dynasty. Regarding this point, Mao Geng used the rhetoric of Confucian benevolence and righteousness, and in his bones it was the humanistic thinking of later generations.
The third and most critical point is that we must rely on the aborigines to open Taiwan as much as possible, because in the foreseeable future, there will not be too many people who are willing to immigrate to Taiwan. Otherwise, even if Taiwan is occupied, if the aborigines cannot be mobilized to participate in Taiwan's development, Taiwan will become a burden to the imperial court.
Fourth, the original compensation standard is too low, and compensation should be made according to the standard of "face for face", which can win the hearts of the aborigines for the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, the requirements of the nail households cannot be met lightly, so Mao Geng volunteered and decided to come forward to participate in the negotiations with the aboriginal nail households.
Fifth, there is no need to worry about money, as long as the aborigines join the ranks of the Great Song Dynasty to open Taiwan, they can help the Great Song Dynasty make money. On the issue of money, Mao Geng also understood Zhao Luan's position, and immediately proposed that the money for buying wire and cement from Xinhua in the future could be deferred.
After Mao Geng said this, although everyone was still a little reluctant to raise the compensation standard, Mao Geng expressed enough intentions, and the second was to win the hearts of the aborigines, and the most important thing is that everyone present knew that it was not easy for people to immigrate to Taiwan, which is still a wild land, and in comparison, the cost of recruiting an immigrant is definitely much more expensive than the cost of letting an aboriginal participate in the development.
In this case, it was not difficult for Zhao to make a choice, and Mao Geng's proposal was supported by Zhao Luan, who immediately authorized Mao Geng to be fully responsible for the compensation for demolition and relocation in accordance with the compensation standard of "face for face".
Mao Geng took another hot potato this time, especially if he couldn't communicate normally, he had to bargain with the barbaric aboriginal nail households, such a thing was avoided, but he had to face the difficulties. Mao Geng thought about some of the tricks to deal with nail households in later generations, and couldn't help but shake his head, although there were many tricks to deal with nail households in later generations, it seemed that they were of little use to these barbarians.
Before going to Taiwan, Mao Geng first went to Huang Wangcai, and Mao Geng needed to grasp the production situation here in Penghu as a temporary base.
Huang Wangcai came to Penghu more than ten days ago, and the purpose of sending him was for the church's troops who had arrived here in advance to burn bricks and paste bamboo fiber cement tiles. According to the plan, after the success of Deng 6 Taiwan, the construction of a simple port must be carried out as soon as possible, and at the same time, a simple military camp must be built, and at least 20 days before the success of Deng 6, the firing of slabs and bricks and pasting cement tiles can only be carried out in Penghu for the time being.
Huang Wangcai's work in Penghu is commendable, after teaching the craftsmen in the box army to draw a section of iron wire, and then taught them how to build a bunker brick kiln, iron wire is a necessary thing for building a bunker brick kiln, in fact, with iron wire, the bunker kiln does not have much technical content, the craftsmen of the box army quickly mastered the technology of firing bricks, and now they have been producing bricks at full capacity, because Penghu here from top to bottom everyone understands that Taiwan needs countless bricks. In order to cooperate with the Penghu firing of bricks, a large amount of coal was shipped from Fujian, and after that, before Taiwan did not dig out the coal, Fujian will also supply a steady stream of coal to Taiwan, for which Fujian's coal kiln owners have recently blossomed.
Mao Geng believes that the first shot to be fired in the opening of Taiwan is infrastructure construction, which was the case when the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was built in later generations, and the same is true in this era, when the construction of Taiwan is still a blank sheet of paper.
The cement shipped from Xinhua has been continuously transported to Penghu, although in Mao Geng's view, the output of cement is not high, and even fewer are transported to Penghu, but at least it can be dealt with for a while. The output of fired bricks and pasted cement tiles still needs to be improved, in Mao Geng's heart, vaguely feel that to do a good job in demolition compensation, the aborigines' demolition compensation to achieve a real "face for face", it is best to provide brick houses for the aborigines, the cost may not necessarily be higher than the current compensation method, but how to do it, Mao Geng has not yet thought about it.
