Chen Liang and Jiang Kui stayed in Penghu for two days, and in these two days, Chen Liang wrote letters to be written, some to Zhu Xi, some to 6 Jiuyuan, and some to Xin Qiji. Chen Liang and Mao Geng exchanged strategies for the Three Kingdoms of Zhancheng, and everything can be said to be in the chest, and his people are more spirited. Jiang Kui and Mao Geng discussed the relevant music, Mao Geng hummed a few later tunes, including Li Shutong's "Farewell" - "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green and the sky is ---", Mao Geng declared as usual that this is from the teacher, and Jiang Kui was influenced by Chen Liang and realized that the philosophy of the Shigong School is also the most reasonable to put on the music - "Regardless of the elegant and popular songs, good music is a good song", so he is no longer picky about the flat and singing tone, so that he can quite understand the beauty of Mao Geng's lyrics and songs.

On the third day, the three naval warships led by Jin Ding sailed to Quanzhou together with Chen Liang's incoming ship, and the three ships led by Jin Ding belonged to the "Taisong Ocean Company" that was established only yesterday. Jin Ding listened to the story of Mao Geng's seven voyages to rich countries on the boat that day, and since then he has secretly made up his mind that if he has the opportunity to do so, he will devote himself to ocean trade. As a result, the 100 sailors of the 100 sailors became the sailors of the "Taisong Ocean Company", and together with the 8 business personnel of Jin Dingwei, the first 108 people of the "Taiwan Song Ocean Company" began the commercial voyage after its establishment.

Although the sailors on board were no longer naval soldiers, they were fully armed, equipped with a number of iron guns, and two monoculars that could detect the sea situation in advance, so the small group of pirates was no match at all.

Of the three ships, two were heavily armed, and only one ship was mainly carrying goods, including iron wires and nails from Penghu, as well as twenty watches temporarily assembled in Penghu, in addition to carrying a batch of deerskins collected in Taiwan, which were not to be shipped to Champa, but to be sold in Quanzhou, and then bought porcelain and silk, which were then shipped to Champa for trade. This Champa commercial trial voyage is the maiden voyage of the "Taisong Ocean Company", the purpose of which is to explore the route and the trade market. All these arrangements are pinned on the lofty ideal of Han Yanzhou to become a powerful country in maritime trade.

Strictly speaking, May is not a good season to sail to Champa, the monsoon at this time happens to be a bit headwind, so the time to sail at sea is longer than in winter, the winter monsoon is a tailwind, usually the Quanzhou fleet is to sail to Champa and the South China Sea when the winter is downwind, and return under the southwest monsoon in summer, so that the back and forth are downwind. However, the "Taisong Ocean Company" has a very big plan, and the traditional seasonal shipping is not suitable for the transportation of bulk commodities, and to engage in such trade as cement and coal, it must be a perennial voyage.

Chen Liang finally got what he wanted, and now with the escort of the ships formerly known as the Great Song Dynasty Naval Army, he is naturally full of confidence and majesty.

When he arrived in Quanzhou, led by Chen Liang, Cai Jianwen ate all the deer skins of the "Taisong Ocean Company" on behalf of the Cai family, and made a staff for Jinding, and bought a batch of porcelain and silk.

Chen Liang is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, and on this voyage, there are female dependents on board, and even Jiang Kui is accompanied by beautiful women. Zou Yalian took his own big ship, which was full of all kinds of goods from the Great Song Dynasty, and he had to earn back 10,000 taels of silver on this trip, not to mention that there were also Great Song Dynasty-level celebrities Chen Liang and Jiang Kui walking together, which really took up all the face.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of a group of Quanzhou maritime merchants, a mixed fleet of more than a dozen large and small ships set sail south in May, including officials and merchants, foreign businessmen, and builders who had become famous in recent months, and this matter was a strange thing in Quanzhou for a while. However, what everyone doesn't know is that there is also a half-businessman and half-bandit figure named Qu Laisan, who is now mixed in the fleet in the name of Song San.

On the Penghu side, Mao Geng made the final choice after some weighing and chose Kaohsiung for his foothold in Taiwan.

Chen Liang's construction is only one aspect, what made Mao Geng finally make up his mind was that the progress of the gold mine on the Taipei side was somewhat unexpected, and Mao Geng did not expect that the gold vein would outcrop so soon. In Taipei, the 3,000 Xiang army did not need to be mobilized, and the miners who turned to mining on the spot should indeed feel lucky, because more Xiang troops are also looking forward to the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Due to the gold mine, Taipei as Taiwan's government is basically a certainty, Zhao Lian has already reported the good news to the imperial court at the same time proposed to set Taipei as the Taiwan government, it is expected that the imperial court will approve, this is nothing more than a formality, the government is set in Taipei There is no suspense.

According to Mao Geng's design, Taiwan is a special zone of the Great Song Dynasty, but Mao Geng is not satisfied with this, Mao Geng wants a territory where he can design and formulate economic policies, that is to say, the key is to set up a small special zone under his own jurisdiction in the special zone of Taiwan. Taiwan's Special Administrative Region is too complicated, there are more than a dozen tribes of the aborigines alone, and the management of gold mines is also a troublesome matter, Mao Geng does not want to waste energy on these aspects. It is wise to avoid the Taiwanese government and find another place.

Therefore, Mao Geng made up his mind to choose Kaohsiung as his own territory, and Mao Geng applied to Zhao Luan to set aside 1o mu as the Kaohsiung Special Zone with Kaohsiung as the center, which was under his own jurisdiction, on the condition that the tax exemption would be three years and the policy would remain unchanged for 20 years. As for the military and political aspects, it is still under the administration of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region. Mao Geng's thinking is basically to apply the model of the special economic zone in later generations, and even the name of the special economic zone is copied.

Zhao Lu was a little puzzled that Mao Geng was going to the Kaohsiung Exhibition:

"Mr. Mao, didn't you focus on the Taipei exhibition at the beginning? Why did you change your hexagram and go to Kaohsiung? ”

Mao Geng took Kaohsiung's discovery of cement raw materials as a reason, and pointed out that it should not only be exhibited in Taipei, but also in Kaohsiung.

Zhao Lian also knew that the emperor's grandfather had high hopes for cement production, and the momentum here in Taipei was very good, so it was not bad to let Mao Geng go to Kaohsiung to show that piece, and it was of course best to exhibit it in the north and south at the same time.

"100,000 mu is too little, how to say that the land you are given will also be 1 million mu, the name of the special zone is unheard of, it is better to call it Kaohsiung County, I recommend it to the emperor's grandfather, and let you be the commander of Kaohsiung County."

Okay! Zhao Lian wanted to promote himself, and he also promised to give a black gauze hat of the seven-grade county order, which shows Zhao Lian's importance. But Mao Geng was unmoved, Mao Geng felt that 100,000 acres was already a large enough territory, more than 60 square kilometers! What kind of industrial zone needs such a large site! Besides, we are taking the high-quality route, not seeking big, only refining, concentrating resources to show a small territory, and it is fast and good to exhibit. If the territory is large, the resources at your disposal are limited after all, how can you cover everything, and you can only choose the key points in your eagerness, but in this way, you will have to waste a lot of energy in the vast secondary areas.

"As the national government knows, the strength of the lower officials lies in the way of making money, not in the governance of one side, and the post of county commander is really not dared to be the lower official. Xia Guan only wants to have a piece of land, as long as it is enough for Xia Guan to swing his director! The territory is too large, but it is a burden to the lower officials. Otherwise, Guogong will set aside a 150,000-mu area of Kaohsiung as a special zone and hand it over to the management of the lower officials. It must be known that the ability of the lower officials is limited, and this is already the largest territory that the lower officials can take care of. ”

Mao Geng knows that this county order is a liuguan, and being a county order means that he will be transferred and promoted at any time in the future, maybe he will leave office in a year or two, and he will go to politics. Finally, there is an opportunity to establish a special zone, and we will not change the county order.

Zhao Lu stared at Mao Geng like a monster, and after a while, he smiled and said:

"No wonder Mr. Mao made a bet with the emperor's grandfather that day, you don't want 300,000 mu, just 150,000 mu. Well, in that case, so be it! ”

Zhao Lu felt that the 150,000 mu would be given to Mao Geng in the future anyway, according to Taiwan's current momentum and Mao Geng's ability to manage money, Mao Geng won the bet with the emperor's grandfather, which is almost a certainty. Three years later, Mao Geng was given 150,000 mu, it can't be all wasteland, and Mao Geng's contribution to taking Taiwan should be rewarded with 150,000 mu of good land to commend his merits. In turn, now give him 150,000 mu, all of which are wasteland, to be reclaimed from scratch by Mao Geng. If the account is calculated, it is better to give him 150,000 mu now than to give it three years later.

Zhao Luan made a calculation for his imperial grandfather, and the two sides were willing, and the matter was immediately settled. Because it does not involve the appointment of the county, the "special zone chief" proposed by Mao Geng is just another name for the "landlord" - landlord - in Zhao Luan's eyes, Mao Geng can call it whatever he wants.

In this way, Zhao Lian drew a circle in Kaohsiung, which was called the "Kaohsiung Special Economic Zone" according to Mao Geng's meaning. The "Kaohsiung Special Economic Zone" belongs to Kaohsiung County, but the "Kaohsiung Special Economic Zone" is special in this territory as if it is Mao Geng's private property at this moment, and Mao Geng can act arbitrarily in the Special Economic Zone, provided that he does not violate the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, except for three years of tax exemption, and after three years, he will also pay taxes according to the regulations.

Of course, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhao Luan specially agreed with Mao Geng that eighty percent of the profits of the cement company and the time watch company established in the special zone would go to the official, and twenty percent would go to Mao Geng, and there would be no other constraints.

Mao Geng came to the Great Song Dynasty for a year, and since then he has become a "special". Mao Geng's "special" is purely self-proclaimed, but the official is also confused. Maote's territory is larger than that of Macao and smaller than that of Hong Kong.
