Zheng Kezang swayed in front of the steaming iron furnace with his hands, and the officials and workshop organizers on the side did not let him retreat after several words. ”

"Now this domain produces 250,000 catties of pig iron every month. biquge.info"More than 5,000 officers of the Qing army at all levels were driven to the Tamsui mining area, and with the addition of these laborers, the output of gold and iron ore naturally increased, and even the production of pig iron in Tainan reached a peak. "In addition, we can import all kinds of iron tools and about 25,000 catties of iron materials from Japan and North Korea."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand catties." Zheng Kezang's eyes flashed, although this number was still so inconspicuous, it was a great success for him, so he asked hopefully. "In this way, if you extract 100,000 catties from it for other purposes, it should not affect the people's livelihood and military use in Dongning."

"100,000 catties?" Zheng Yingping, who had just been transferred to the head of the Salt and Iron Division, showed a trace of difficulty on his face. "Lord, the use of various places is very tight, and it is not easy to have a little more money, if this is 100,000 catties per month, I am afraid"

Zheng Yingping's words were not finished, Zheng Kezhang understood what the other party meant, and he smiled slightly: "100,000 catties a month is indeed a bit embarrassing for the Qing family, in this way, every two months, Gu has to take away 100,000 catties of it, this is okay." ”

Looking at Zheng Kezang's smiling face, even if Zheng Yingping is a relative of the Zheng family, he is a little hairy, so after thinking about it, he whispered to the officials in the department on the side, and then gritted his teeth and bargained with Zheng Kezang: "The lord doesn't know that there is a lot of shortage of artillery in Lugang, Dagou, Tamsui and other places, and the military affairs department is urging very tightly, and a cannon is often ten thousand catties, and at least three or five people are cast in a row at a time, so the lord, at most three months and 100,000 catties." ”

100,000 catties in three months, Zheng Kezhang touched the short whiskers of his jaw and thought, to be honest, he actually didn't know how many catties of iron needed to build a ribbed plywood ship with more than 3,000 materials, and it was impossible for him to build a large ship with thousands of materials right away, so it was enough to estimate 100,000 catties in three months for the time being.

"A total of 200,000 catties will be provided during the year." In the face of realistic pressure, Zheng Kezhang temporarily took a step back. "Next year's business, next year." Zheng Yingping smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, Zheng Kezhang muttered to himself. "And Lone has to be extracted, and all other needs have to give way." Maybe it was because he saw Zheng Yingping's expression, Zheng Kezhang was relieved. "Zheng Qing rest assured, the sailor shipyard has to plan carefully, and Qing will not be caught off guard."

"Tanaka and the proprietors and shopkeepers." Huang Liangbi, the new official of the Chengxuan Division, who was located in the Japanese community of the chicken coop, looked at the so-called rendezvous people who were prostrate in front of him, and his eyes showed a strange brilliance. "This official is ordered by the Lord to patrol the chicken coop, mainly for two affairs." Huang Liangbi raised the folding fan and compared. "The first one is prospecting," Huang Liangbi said, pointing to the man sitting cross-legged next to him. "This is the Du Mine Master sent by the Salt and Iron Division, and the official residence cultivator."

Speaking of cultivators, there are only eight grades, just an insignificant little official, but Zheng Kezhang is now a martial artist, although the Japanese living in the chicken coop are happy that he led his troops to repel the Qing army, but they are also a little apprehensive about this young monarch, so several chicken coop elders who dare not be careless have bowed one after another: "I have entered the cultivator Lang." ”

The miner greeted a few Japanese with a smile, and then Huang Liangbi said again: "Lord Du will prospect for mines in the mountains near the chicken coop in the future, and you don't have to bear the guards, but I hope that you can send a few guides, and you also need to help solve the problem of food and water." ”

"Please make sure that Lord Huang speaks to the general," Matajiro Tanaka, the head of the Autonomy Agency, assured. "Let's just say that the Japanese merchant hall in the chicken coop will arrange the best manpower and provide the best food, please rest assured that the general."

"That's good." Huang Liangbi nodded. "Then let's talk about another thing." Huang Liangbi asked with a slight tilt. "How many Japanese people are registered in chicken coops today? How many men and women are there? How many of them are farming? How many acres of land are cultivated in chicken coops? And how many people are in business? How many sea vessels are there? What routes do you usually run? ”

Tanaka was startled, and then looked at the people on the side, only to see that the real owners of these chicken coops bowed slightly, and then he reported: "There are 847 households of Japanese descent in the chicken coops, 5,106 people, of which 1,719 are adult men, 2,066 are adult women, and 983 are old men and women over 60 years old, and the rest are young children. Most of the adult men went out to do business, and a few of them were responsible for guarding the chicken coops and fishing in the coastal waters in their spare time, while only the women and old men worked in the farms at home. ”

Tanaka Youjiro said in one breath, and the bookstore brought by Huang Liangbi on the side recorded them one by one: "There are a total of 4,176 sections of the reclaimed grain field (note: the Taige Land Inspection Law will be a section of 300 steps, and one step is a curved ruler of 6 feet 3 inches, that is, 191 centimeters square) and 47 steps, all of which are paddy fields, and according to the calculation of two periods, more than 21,000 stones of white rice can be obtained in a good year (Note: How many kilograms of a stone is equivalent in the Warring States Period of Japan is doubtful, and now WikiBaidu is used to say that one stone of white rice is 20 kilograms), Being able to eat white rice, which is not available to ordinary samurai in the country, is a blessing to the general. ”

Hearing this, Huang Liangbi showed a knowing smile on his face, but he didn't come to listen to flattery, so he just gestured with his eyes, so Tanaka continued: "The men who do business belong to the four major merchant houses in the chicken coop, of which Tagawaya employs 628 people, including 14 large merchant ships and 6 small merchant ships; The chicken coop house employed three hundred and nineteen people, and there were ten large and small merchant ships; Yamanakaya employed three hundred and two people, ten large and small merchant ships; Sanshuiya employed 284 people, including eight large and small merchant ships. ”

Huang Liangbi added more and found that there were a total of forty-eight merchant ships of various kinds, he couldn't help but sigh, and then asked further: "Now all the merchant houses run those sea routes?" ”

Tanaka was stunned, how did he answer, at this time, Tagawa Goro Saemon, who had visited Zheng Kezang back then, moved his body and came out of the column to report: "Tagawaya is mainly engaged in maritime trade between Dongning and Ryukyu, Macau to Ryukyu, Hoi An to Ryukyu, Siam to Ryukyu, Siam to Tungning, and the others are about the same. ”

Shinzo Konishi, the owner of the chicken coop house, added: "The family also operates a route from Batavia to Dongning. ”

"The family also operates a route from Tide Ni (note: Pattani area of Malaya) to Ryukyu." Yamanakaya Shinhiro also reported that the reason why they did not operate to Nagasaki and Tsushima was because of the shogunate's lockdown decree, not because they did not want to make more money. "In addition, our merchant ships also operate the route from Manila to the Ryukyus."

"The bosses are honest." Huang Liangbi applauded, but immediately looked solemn. "I have been instructed by the Lord to inform all the bosses that from now on, all ships of the Japanese merchant houses in the chicken coop will not be allowed to sail to Naha."

"Not allowed to sail to Naha?" The Japanese were terrified, and Mitsuya Yashiro almost fainted. "Why? Is this the general's reward for our annual tribute? ”

There was a lot of noise below, which provoked Huang Liangbi Qiuba's temper to come up, and he smashed his palm on the tatami mat, and the loud noise immediately suppressed the noisy voice: "What are you arguing about?" If you don't run Naha, will you lose all your money? It's really a lack of people's hearts! ”

Huang Liangbi's loud shouts reminded the Japanese of whose world this Dongning is, so Tagawa Goro Saemon, who was the first to wake up, immediately cautiously asked: "The general doesn't let us transport the goods to the Ryukyus, then there must be a reason, or give us another way out." ”

"The reason can be given to you, and the way out can be given to you." Huang Liangbi said, which immediately attracted the eyes of all the Japanese present. "The Lord has ordered an additional sea tax to be levied on merchant ships sailing into Naha, forty taels per 100 taels."

The Japanese were in a commotion again, so they listened to Huang Liangbi and continued unmoved: "In order not to let you lose money, the Lord hopes that you will take Lukang as the end of each route in the future, and in the future, this domain will provide a list of each family to buy, as long as a sufficient amount of goods are shipped according to the list, this domain will not levy customs duties on the rest of the goods, and if it is not in the list, this domain can transfer it to Penghu for you." By the way, the official forgot to say that now the feudal clan has signed an agreement with Yinggui Liyi, France Yi and Luzon Yi to set up a merchant house in Penghu, and you can also build a merchant house on Niangmagong Island. ”

Several owners of the merchant house looked at each other, and Konishi Shinzo asked, "What about the Japanese goods?" ”

"Don't worry, the caravans of this domain will bring in a sufficient amount of goods from Japan and Korea."

It's strange not to worry, but who makes himself a homeless refugee, in the face of Dongning's strength, Mitsuiya Yashiro, who felt that he had suffered a big loss, asked stupidly: "How to estimate the price of the package?" ”

"Based on the selling price of Nagasaki and Naha and the purchase price of the origin area, take an average value in the middle, and then add 10% of the profit to ensure your profit." Huang Liangbi reported the calculation method of the tax department to several people. "As for silk and tea, which are in demand, they can still be negotiated, in short, one or two raw silk and one piece of silk are not allowed to flow into Naha anyway." Huang Liangbi warned. "If anyone is lucky, don't blame the official for not predicting it today."

In this way, several Japanese bosses have understood, this is all raw silk and silk goods, Dongning wants to monopolize the Japanese market, in order to occupy excess profits, but what can you do, people can already take care of you, and give you some money, if you are disobedient, the sea is your destination.

"Look at my brain." Seeing that the Japanese in the room were depressed, Huang Liangbi sneered, and then increased his forehead with his palm. "There is another thing, the chicken coop seems to have more men and girls, just right, there are more men and fewer women in this domain, so this official does the war, and asks for employment from various families for the former army robes, so that you and I can be closer."

"This?" Seeing Huang Liangbi's gloomy smile, the Japanese, who had long been accustomed to political marriages, naturally would not disagree. "Being able to marry with the kingdom is exactly what we can't ask for."

"Tanaka said it well, so it's settled."
