Since the crossing group settled in Shengli Port, the Yazhou side has passed the word several times through different channels, hoping to bring this land under the rule of the government. The sign of achieving this kind of rule should be the entry of the Inspection Department and the filing of the land deed.

In the eyes of the Executive Committee, the land deed is actually dispensable, and the land occupied by the crossing group cannot be taken away with a piece of paper. However, the Executive Committee considers that the current relationship with the Yazhou officials is relatively harmonious, and there are still many places to borrow from Yazhou in terms of population and raw materials, and there is no need to tear up the face because of such a small matter. Last time, among the people who came with the inspection department, there were small officials who checked and registered the acres of land, and the executive committee handled all the land deeds and land deeds.

Of course, the area indicated on the land deed documents registered with the government is more than ten times less than the actual development situation here, and the land deed also specifically indicates that all the 212 acres of land cultivated by the Haihan people are "Xia Tian", so the grain that needs to be paid to the government is directly cut in half.

However, even if this grain was cut and cut, the Executive Committee did not intend to hand it over to the Yazhou government. Anyway, the little official who collects taxes now is pinching it in his hand, and when the time comes, he will just be asked to make up any reason to mix it up.

As for whether there will be people who will come out to pick on this issue, the Executive Committee is not very worried. He Xi's work in Yazhou is very solid, every temple is burning incense on time, as soon as there is any trouble, his news may even be faster and more accurate than Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, after all, those two spy agencies do not have such a wealthy backing of the executive committee, one side is to use the disaster of prison to make people avoid, and the other side is to use the way of interest bundling to lure people to cooperate, which is higher and which is lower at a glance. And the measure of using money to open the way has obviously achieved quite good results, for example, after the various real estate documents from Shengli Port were sent back to Yazhou, even the book case of the master of Zhizhou was not uploaded, and it was already stamped and approved.

The Executive Committee has already issued instructions to the Cliff Office, if there are still people who want to stir up trouble at this stage, even if they are sent to Shengli Port, they have already received a group of people from the Inspection Department anyway, and they will not mind picking up more people.

As for outsiders like Li Nai, Tao Donglai is not afraid of revealing a little more strength in front of him, after all, the cooperation between the two sides is gradually deepening, and if you want to stabilize this cooperative relationship, you must build on the basis of trust in each other's strength. The Executive Committee is well aware that a businessman like "Fu Ruifeng" who can open a chain of commercial banks across several provinces must be extraordinary, but "Fu Ruifeng" may not have been aware of the local control power of the "Haihan Executive Committee" before.

Sure enough, after listening to Tao Donglai's words, Li Nai showed a meaningful expression on his face. Li Nai is not a person who has never seen the world, a considerable number of the gentry friends he made in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are big landowners, and there are also many people who have thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land in their homes, but he has never had someone as upright and unscrupulous as Tao Dong said. The most important thing is that the landlord Tao Dong said is not himself, but the "Haihan Executive Committee", which is linked to Tao Donglai's previous statement that "there is no landlord here", Li Nai seems to have understood something.

In the society of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the common people or the royal relatives and nobles, all take the land as the foundation of their lives. Although Li Nai did not understand why these Haihan people wanted to take public ownership of land, a valuable asset, it was clear that this practice was incompatible with the Ming system. If there are no landlords, there will be no gentry class, and without the gentry class, there will be no one to lead the people at the grassroots level, so won't this society be chaotic?

However, the order of the Haihan people in the management of the territory is excellent, it can be said that it is better than any place that Li Nai has visited, and all the qiē here are operated precisely and rigidly according to the rules specified by the Haihan people, and even the details of whether pedestrians should walk on the left or right on the road have special regulations. The role of the Ming gentry seems to have been replaced by those rules that cannot be seen or touched.

As for the Haihan people, Li Nai doesn't think they are gentry, if you really want to make an analogy, they are more like the government here to build docks and villages, transport immigrants to move in, organize wasteland farming, and build guns and cannons to form militia groups, aren't these things exactly what the government should do?

Of course, Li Nai did not think in the slightest that the Haihan people had the slightest intention of gathering a crowd to make a rebellion or even rebelling, and how could a person with such an idea sell the quick guns and cannons he made to the merchants of the rival family? This is just like the fact that the imperial court will not sell pig iron and grain to the Tartars in the north.

Li Nai disagrees with some of the Haihan's approach to local affairs, but he also admits that the Haihan are indeed trustworthy partners, not only because they have strong armed strength, but more importantly, they are very disciplined, and this stubborn preference has even permeated all aspects of the local area. And a well-behaved partner is even more important than the high returns that can be brought by each transaction.

Seeing that the sky had begun to darken, Tao Donglai and his party hastily ended their inspection of the farm commune and returned to the No. 1 base. In fact, the place they looked at was only the result of the first phase of development by the Ministry of Agriculture, and then 1,000 acres of land were reclaimed along the upper reaches of the Tiandu River, and in addition to planting rice and cash crops, they even set up a small pasture to carry out a variety of poultry and livestock breeding.

Li Nai and his entourage can be said to be the most important people among the visitors since the opening of Shengli Port, so the dinner hospitality they received was also the most grand. In addition to Tao Donglai and Schneider, Yan Chujie and Ning Qi also attended the accompaniment, and the specifications were unprecedentedly high. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the first day of trade negotiations to reach more than 10,000 taels of silver trade orders, such as "Fu Ruifeng" such a big tyrant, its economic strength and sales network are now through the group must rely on the object.

When these mouth cannon gods got together, they must have tried every means to get more information out of Li Nai's mouth, so Tao Donglai also used his private reserves and took two bottles of Wuliangye out. He Qiang originally wanted to help his young owner resist it, but several guys had a tacit understanding, and they first overturned He Qiang, who was in the way, and then slowly began to talk to Li Nai.

Although Li Nai is also a character who has traveled all over the world in society, compared to these guys who have been trained in the complex environment of later generations, he still looks a little tender, and after a few glasses of wine, the things that should not be said are slowly set out by them. By the time the second bottle of wine bottomed out, Li Nai had already begun to speak incoherently, and Tao Donglai asked people to send them to the prepared barracks to rest.

As for these old rivers and lakes, they haven't drunk much wine at all from beginning to end. In Yan Chujie's words, that is, "the battle is over before the mouth is wet". But now they have no intention of continuing to drink, and some information needs to be sorted out while they have not forgotten, and then discussed how the follow-up trade negotiations should be carried out by the way.

From Li Nai's drunken words just now, they have made a lot of gains, one of the most important of which is the plan of "Fu Ruifeng" after purchasing these arms.

Tao Donglai said: "I originally thought that they bought these arms and sold them to the Ming army through some channels, but I didn't expect them to plan to resell them directly to Fujian. ”

"Calculating the time, this year should be the time when Shibazhi and Fujian Deputy General Yu Zhigao and Haishang Xu Xinsu are fighting lively, and the demand for arms and weapons should be very large. And according to the trajectory of historical development, Zheng Zhilong will accept the Ming Dynasty's Zhao'an next year, and then there will soon be infighting in Shibazhi, and the chaos on the southeast coast will continue until 1635. Ning Qi's mind also remained clear, and immediately added the historical background.

"But since we're already here, we won't be fighting for that long. The corner of Yan Chujie's mouth showed a wicked smile: "Our appearance should greatly improve the combat efficiency of this era, with the weapons we manufactured, the naval battle in history will take a few days, maybe it will be over in a few hours." ”

"That's true, but we still have to pay attention to the strategy. Ning Qi did not agree with Yan Chujie's optimism: "If Zheng Zhilong's family is dominant, it will not be of much benefit to us. By 1633, Zheng Zhilong's maritime military power had become the largest in the Far East, and even the Dutch could no longer beat him, and all merchant ships operating on the southeast coast had to pay protection money to Zheng Zhilong, which strengthened his strength even more in disguise. ”

"Is there a record in history of Zheng Zhilong's troops?" Yan Chujie asked with interest. Since there is a golden finger that can be opened by being familiar with historical development trends, Yan Chujie is also very interested in learning about the strength of potential opponents in the future.

"At this stage, the eighteen Zhi pirate gang led by Zheng Zhilong has at least about 30,000 people, and there must be five or six hundred ships. As for his strength after defeating Yu Zhigao and Xu Xinsu, his strength swelled even faster, and by the time he destroyed Liu Xiang in 1635, he had about 200,000 troops and a fleet of 3,000 ships, which was a very powerful maritime armed force even in the world. Ning Qi said with a sigh.

Yan Chujie also gasped when he heard this, although it can be expected that the crossing group in eight years will definitely be much stronger than now, but it may not be able to have about 200,000 troops and a fleet of 3,000 ships, this number is really a bit scary.

"It is impossible for a tyrant who started with the sea to sit idly by and watch a force like ours rise in the South China Sea, just as we will not sit idly by and watch him grow in Fujian. Tao Donglai said in a deep voice: "We have to find a way to delay his development speed." ”
