"Lord, the prospector sent to the chicken coop found a large amount of sand gold in the upper reaches of the chicken coop river. (If you like this book, please collect it biquge.info)" In fact, the relevant report was sent to Qiongzhou as early as the end of March, and now it is just a face-to-face report by Hong Lei and Zheng Yingping. "The prospector traced all the way down the river and found two shallowly buried veins, which, according to the prospector's estimates, had reserves of at least 300,000 taels."

"Three hundred thousand taels of gold? Three million taels of silver! "Although Zheng Kezhang has a starry impression of Taiwan's largest gold mine in history, how can he hear the figure of 300,000 taels still makes his heart fluctuate, but fortunately, Zheng Kezhang finally suppressed his joy." Does the Salt and Iron Division have a detailed mining plan? ”

"The Salt and Iron Division has asked for 8,000 slave laborers to build roads and station them in the mines." Hong Lei handed over the submission in his hand. "The government hall has already discussed it, but firstly, the number of slave workers is insufficient now, and I am afraid that we will have to buy additional black slaves, and secondly, if so many slave workers are transferred over, not to mention the grain, we must also mobilize the people of the first division to take care of them in the past so that there will be no chaos in the future."

"Transfer a division?" Zheng Kezhang gently repeated Hong Lei's construction, because Ming Zheng is now only seven divisions, and any transfer and placement is related to the overall situation, so he did not answer at the first time, but asked Zheng Ying again. "In addition to the gold mine, are there any other mineral deposits found near the chicken coop?"

"Two pyrite mines and four coal mines have also been discovered, but the reserves are not too large," Zheng Yingping replied honestly. "Moreover, pyrite contains impurities and is completely useless for smelting, while coal is iron-making, but the iron smelted is brittle and crisp, and it is also useless."

"Pyrite can be used to produce pure sulfur directly, while coking from coal and then smelting iron is not inferior to charcoal for ironmaking." What Zheng Yingping can't look down on is a treasure for Zheng Kezang, so he cares. "Both of these are good things, and the Salt and Iron Division will be mined together." Zheng Kezhang thought for a moment. "Since they are mined together, how to dispatch manpower and arrange transportation, and how to re-draw up the rules and regulations, as for how to make sulfur and coke, the Salt and Iron Division will transfer some manpower, and the Lone Association will personally arrange the actual yàn." Because Zheng Kezang's reputation for liking miscellaneous studies was widely known more than ten years ago, Zheng Yingping didn't dare not believe Zheng Kezang's methods, so he responded and then listened to Zheng Kezang. "This matter is settled, let's go down and get busy first."

Of course, Zheng Yingping understood the reason why Zheng Kezhang did not hold back Hong Lei, so he obediently retreated, but Zheng Kezhang did not immediately say anything to Hong Lei, but called Ke Ping, Yang Ying, and Zheng Bin in. When these prime ministers of the Ming and Zheng regimes were seated, Zheng Kezhang started talking about a topic that seemed to be unrelated.

"Once the 400,000 people of Qiongzhou enter Taiwan, almost all the old tundi in Tianxing and Wannian counties will be replaced by officials.

"The Lord is right, so that the people of all towns have been resettled in the northern and southern counties." Yang Ying responded first and then suppressed. "But Tianxing, Wannian, and Chengtian still have hundreds of officials and dependents of the domain, and the various workshops and craftsmen of the domain are also mostly in the two counties.

"Yang Qing misunderstood, Lone is not going to abolish the two counties of Tianxing and Wannian." Zheng Ke said in shock. "Lone means that he saw that Taipei's status was becoming more and more important, so Lone planned to build a city in the chicken coop, and after the castle was completed, he would move the divisions and some workshops of the domain to Taipei."

Moving the capital? Hong Lei and Ke Ping's faces suddenly had meaning, they didn't expect that a mere golden gourd stone would lead to such a big topic, for a while, the room was silent, and several people were desperately turning their brains, or analyzing Zheng Kezang's intentions, or organizing sentences to dissuade Zheng Kezang's blind movement.

"Lord," Hong Lei was the first to speak after a long time. "This domain has been fighting for many years, the people's strength has not yet recovered, and many of the people in the new Shitai have not returned to their hearts.

"Lord, what Lord Hong said is very true, and now the divisions have not been withdrawn, in case of provoking a civil uprising"

Zheng Kezhang waved his hand and interrupted Ke Ping's words: "Zhu Qing is afraid that he has misunderstood, Gu is now just going to set up a county in Tamsui and a chicken coop, and then spend two or three years laying county roads to connect the whole Taiwan. ”

Hearing that Zheng Kezhang was not about to relocate as soon as his brain was hot, several people breathed a sigh of relief, among which Zheng Bin thought for a moment and then said: "Lord, the minister listened to Lord Huang Liangbi, who has been to the chicken coop in the north, said that although the chicken coop has a good port, first, the narrow area is not the place where the foundation is caused, and secondly, the surrounding mountains are stacked and only the Guò Jilong River Valley is connected to Tamsui, in case there is a police not easy to help, so the minister thinks that if you want to move the capital to Taipei, it is better to take the Tamsui area." ”

"Freshwater is still too far north." Hong Lei has his own opinions. "The minister thought that it was still taken in the Changhua area, so that it could be connected to the hinterland of the domain." In order to prove that his point of view is correct, Hong Lei further pointed out. "Da'an Creek North Snow Mountain Range is vertical and horizontal, the mountains are horizontal, the terrain is complex, and the traffic is not easy, even if the main county road to the north is to be built, but only this section, three or five years may not be able to see results, and even if it is completed, the first line of Tamsui is also suspected of being lonely."

"If you stop moving to Changhua, it's better not to move." Ke Ping thought that Hong Lei's construction was a move to work hard and hurt money, so he proposed it to Zheng Kezang. "If the lord considers the problem of stationing troops in the chicken coop, the minister thinks that as long as the chicken coop fort is reset, it will be enough to set up another office to manage civil affairs, there are really mine slaves raging, as long as the grain is strangled, are you afraid that they will turn the sky?"

"I think Master Ke's words make sense." Yang Ying did not want Zheng Kezhang to move the capital as long as Zheng Kezhang sent troops, so he chose to support Ke Ping's opinion. "If the Lord attaches importance to Taipei, he can garrison the army in Tamsui, and at the same time move the Sailor Freshwater team to garrison the chicken coop, or there is no need to move the capital to the north."

Hong Lei also changed his mind: "The minister thinks that the words of Lord Ke and Lord Yang are reasonable, and the minister seconded it." ”

"The minister also seconded the proposal." Zheng Bin also gave up his own mentions. "I think it's still quiet now."

Zheng Kezang frowned, he didn't expect that his mention had just been put on the table and he would eat back in front of the political and senators, which made him a little unhappy, of course, with his current prestige in Taiwan, he could completely push this matter, but considering the stability of the political situation, he still reluctantly accepted the opinions of the prime ministers.

"Since the meaning of the Zhuqing is the same, let's put aside the matter of moving north for a while, but it is urgent to change the county from Tamsui County, so it is okay, the name Taipei County is given to control Tamsui, and the Taipei County Branch Office is set up in the chicken coop and Beifengshan Creek and Touqian Creek valley (note: that is, the Hsinchu area) to deal with government affairs."

There was no objection to these political and senators, so Zheng Kezhang further decided: "In the north of Changhua and south of Taipei, the cats (note: also known as cats, Miaoli) mountain area to set up the Changhua County Branch, in addition, the original North Road Pacification Division was changed to the East Road Pacification Division, so that Qiongzhou dispatched 500 new troops to follow the East Road Pacification Division to the East Turbidity Water Creek Mouth to build a walled city, and publicize the local community." ”

Zheng Kezhang has always been out of reach of the Kamalan Plain in Taitung, which is blocked by mountains, but this does not mean that he will not be interested in this hunting ground in Taitung. Now with the expansion of Ming Zheng's power, Zheng Kezhang is ready to test the waters, and the establishment of the East Road Pacification Division is the first step of the temptation. In this regard, although Hong Lei and others were worried that they would be in a hurry, because they only took the lead with some new annexed troops and a very small number of propaganda personnel, it was inconvenient to oppose Zheng Kezang's decision again and again.

"The names of places such as chicken coop and dog beating are too vulgar, and I don't like it, so I changed it to Keelung and Xigang (note: corresponding to the Donggang of Pingtung County)"

Hong Lei and the others retreated, and Zheng Kezhang immediately called Wu Shu and Hong Gongzhu in: "The meaning of the political hall is to station a division in Tamsui, and I think it is still necessary, and the two Qing families immediately sent people to Tamsui to survey and see where it is suitable to set up a pass and a suitable fortress, in short, there are two, first, once the Qing army lands in Taipei, the Lu division must be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements in the south, and second, once the mining slaves in Taipei are in turmoil, they must first be curbed from going out of the mountains. ”

Wu Shu looked at Hong Gongzhu, and asked with a slight slump: "Please rest assured, the question of the camp garrison arranged by the ministers is just that the lord has the decision to send which division to send north?" ”

"It's the same with every division," Zheng Kezhang replied earnestly. "The secretary and others must make a charter, and each division must take turns to defend the army, as for whether it is a round every three years or a round every four years, the secretary and others will discuss it first." Hong Gongzhu was about to say something, when he heard Zheng Kezhang continue. "Not only should all divisions be stationed in turn, but military attachés at all levels should also change their posts every three years."

Of course, Wu Shu knew that Zheng Kezang's purpose was not to make it difficult for the generals to fall, but what he was worried about was that the generals would not know the soldiers, the soldiers would not know the generals, and whether the battle would affect the combat effectiveness of the army, but now his position is embarrassing, and he did not dare to take Zheng Kezhang lightly, so he motioned to Hong Gongzhu to come forward, but Hong Gongzhu made a turtle with a shrunken head at this time, which made Wu Shu helpless.

"In addition, there are some changes to the law of the domain." Zheng Kezhang decided to forcibly implement the national military service system, but how it should be changed, he hoped that the Senate would first draw up a charter. "Whether the artisan household should be exempted from military service, how much is reasonable for the merchant's exemption money, and whether the infirm can change to labor service if they do not perform military service, the secretary and others must coordinate with the departments."

"Lord, this matter is very high, should we wait for Lord Lin to come back and then discuss it." Due to the inconsistency of the requirements of the water division and the land division, Hong Gongzhu did not dare to leave the water division alone. "In addition, the Lord just said that those who do not perform military service are not allowed to grant land, so what if the only son in the family would rather work for military service than for military service?"

"What Qing said makes sense, this matter is not in a hurry, it is better to wait for Lin Sheng to come back and discuss." Zheng Kezhang stroked the short beard on his chin, and a smile appeared on his face. "However, the punishment for deliberately evading military service and the specific provisions such as the bereavement benefits for the war dead and disabled during military service, the lonely is waiting for the advice of the secretary, and don't expect the lonely to be able to arbitrarily decide anything."
