In December of the second year of the Tianqi revelation, the negotiations between the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty were officially held in Penghu.↗Xiao,...o The Dutch sent the fleet commander Song Ke to Penghu, while the Ming Dynasty sent Lin Wence, a diplomat in the command department.&1t;/p>

The negotiations between the two sides were in a deadlock from the beginning.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty put forward several conditions. First: the Dutch compensated the Ming Dynasty for military expenditure of 50,000 yuan and paid the ransom for the captives. Second: The Netherlands returned the people who were abducted from China. Third: The Netherlands traded with the Ming Dynasty and would not be allowed to trade with Japan. Fourth: The Ming Dynasty sent officials to Batavia to manage the Batavia Han people and ensure the rights and interests of the Han people in Batavia.&1t;/p>

After Song Ke learned of this condition, he refused on the spot.&1t;/p>

In particular, the Dutch were prohibited from communicating with Japan and the Ming Dynasty to send officials to Batavia to manage local Han people. These two conditions were completely unacceptable to the Dutch.&1t;/p>

Similarly, the Dutch don't want to pay compensation.&1t;/p>

There was almost no progress in the subsequent negotiations, and the Dutch were unwilling to accept these conditions. It was even more impossible for the Ming Dynasty to give in. This was a condition set by the emperor himself, so naturally he could not give in.&1t;/p>

After the two sides had a stalemate for half a month, the negotiations finally broke down. Li Dan, a big sea merchant, also participated in the negotiations. When he learned about the conditions of the court, he was obviously shocked.&1t;/p>

Obviously, whether this negotiation is successful or failed, it is very unfavorable for him, Li Dan.&1t;/p>

Sure enough, the imperial court had just issued an order to open Taiwan Province, and issued another ban, on the grounds that the Spaniards massacre the Han people, the Dutch harassed the Ming Dynasty's sea front, and the Japanese invaded the Ming Dynasty's vassal state. The maritime merchants were forbidden to go to Manila to trade with the Spaniards. The maritime merchants were forbidden to go to Batavia to trade with the Dutch, the maritime merchants were forbidden to go to Japan and trade with Japan.&1t;/p>

For Li Dan, this is almost most of his trade target.&1t;/p>

The Spanish and Dutch were eliminated from the trade with the Ming Dynasty. The only remaining are the Portuguese who lived in Macau. At this time, Macau was under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and only allowed the Portuguese to live in Macau. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty built a city in Macau. Once the Portuguese in chaos, they would immediately block the city gate and close the Portuguese in the city, and they would be able to suppress it.&1t;/p>

The emperor's series of actions are all surprising.&1t;/p>

First, the opening of the Ming Dynasty increased the territory of a province. After being reported, it was widely praised. Many people were excited about it. This is the time when the Ming Dynasty was founded for more than 200 years.&1t;/p>

Then he stretched his hand to the sea trade, which touched the nerves of many people, especially those sea traders.&1t;/p>

The most severely hit this time were naturally those pirates who participated in the maritime trade. Taiwan was their place of rectification and supply. At this time, the court announced the opening of Taiwan. As long as the court gained a firm foothold in Taiwan, this place of supply and rest would not be able to gain a foothold.&1t;/p>

In the past, these pirates invaded the coastal areas. If the government pursued the coast, they usually retreated to Penghu first. If the court chased to Penghu, they retreated to Taiwan. Generally speaking, it was common for the court to chase to Penghu, but it rarely chased to Taiwan. Only Shen Yourong once chased to Dayuangang and wiped out the pirates.&1t;/p>

These pirates often go to Japan to recruit ronin as thugs. At this time, the imperial court prohibited civilian ships from traveling to Japan, and the ones who suffered the most were naturally these pirates.&1t;/p>

However, most pirates looked contempt when they received the news. The imperial ban obviously had no restraint ability on them.&1t;/p>

Taiwan Dayuan Port, a large fleet came this day.&1t;/p>

This fleet had more than 200 merchant ships, transporting more than 2,000 people recruited from northern provinces, as well as several various materials.&1t;/p>

Royal Agriculture and Royal Trading Company soon began to operate as major members.&1t;/p>

For a small number of Han people in the local area and those indigenous people in Taiwan, the court's policy is to store them, register the land they were farming, and establish a baojia system for management. All land will be paid 20% of the land.&1t;/p>

If those indigenous people are obedient, they will assimilate and regard them as citizens of the Celestial Empire. If they hinder the cultivation of the Royal Agricultural Company, they will be wiped out by force.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Taiwan Plain was rich in water and grass. On the endless wilderness, a large number of wild deer were jumping in groups, and there were at least millions of wild deer on the entire plain.&1t;/p>

These deer herds are the first resource that the Royal Trading Company will open.&1t;/p>

The Royal Trading Company established a deer hunting team and began to hunt wild deer in the Dazhong area. The Royal Agricultural Company deposited tens of thousands of acres of land in the Dazhong area, established the first large-scale plantation, and began to cultivate sugarcane and rice in Taiwan.&1t;/p>

The deer hunting team and the Royal Agricultural Company both adopt a hiring system, including food and accommodation, and a monthly salary of 3 yuan. These employees from northern provinces can choose to settle in Taiwan or return to their hometown in the future. It is just a matter of a boat ticket.&1t;/p>

The task of Royal Agricultural Company is to turn Taiwan into a place of production of commercial grain and sugar, and use the least workers to produce the most agricultural products. But the minimum is not unlimited crushing, but to use more land to increase personal production capacity during normal working hours.&1t;/p>

For example, in Taiwan's agricultural line, a farmer can only cultivate ten acres of land. However, using a more extensive farming method to let a farmer be responsible for the labor of twenty acres of land, the result will be very different. Although the yield per mu will decrease, the amount of agricultural products created by a labor force will increase a lot.&1t;/p>

Taiwan’s current agricultural model is more land, less population, and more extensive.&1t;/p>

The most planted by Royal Agriculture Company is naturally rice and sugarcane. At the same time, it will also plant some tea trees, fruit trees, pepper and other crops for planting. Royal Village will adopt a fine management model to achieve the greatest labor value under the limited labor intensity. It is to allow employees to have something to do every day, unlike rural farmers, who have nothing to do when they are free, and are busy when they are busy.&1t;/p>

Planting technology is constantly improving. Under the management system of the Royal Agricultural Company, agricultural infrastructure and agricultural technology are used very well. Therefore, even if we do not use serfs to produce like Westerners, we can still create considerable benefits.&1t;/p>

The most important thing is that employees will also consume when they get their wages, which can naturally drive the economy. Even if they don’t make money, they will support people! If these people consume again, they will generate benefits.&1t;/p>

The Royal Agriculture Company model is obviously impossible to lose money. Even if it gives employees better treatment, the monthly salary of three yuan is not a very high level. It can only be said that this is the average labor cost at a bargain price. However, Royal Agriculture Company has other benefits for employees, housing, medical care, and pension.&1t;/p>

Zhang Xiucai is an official documentary who followed the fleet to Taiwan. He is from Henan. After coming to Taiwan, he saw the rich products that made him feel incredible here.&1t;/p>

The rice fields here can be planted in three seasons a year. It is very common for a mu of rice to produce grain and two stones in one season. Generally, only two seasons of rice will be planted. When encountering a typhoon or other disaster, it will be replanted. There will be two seasons of harvest in a year. One acre of land can harvest four stones of grain.&1t;/p>

There are also many vegetables, fruits and melons and melons here, and there are deer trees all over the plains.&1t;/p>

As soon as he arrived at the senior official, the deer hunting team started working. Every day, a large amount of venison was brought back, and everyone could get a portion. A lot of venison was processed into jerky meat and transported back to Beizhili.&1t;/p>

The richness of the products here is not comparable to Henan, which seems barren. After all, Henan has been cultivated for thousands of years and has too many people. However, there has been no one in Taiwan before, with abundant water and grass, fertile land, and few people. Survive here, there is almost no pressure to survive.&1t;/p>

"What a good place!" Zhang Xiucai couldn't help but sigh.&1t;/p>

The deer hunting team went deep into the grassland and hunted tens of thousands of wild deer and stopped hunting activities because spring has arrived. This is the time when all things are alive. It is not advisable to kill too much.&1t;/p>

The Royal Trading Company also has a hunting quota, and the wild deer hunting can no more than 100,000 per year. Zhu Youxiao, as a time traveler, naturally has the awareness of protecting animals. At this time, Taiwan has many deer herds and not many places to open, so it is still possible to hunt 100,000 per year.&1t;/p>

When there are more places to open in the future, the living space of wild deer will naturally be continuously compressed, and then another protected area will be established.&1t;/p>

If humans want to develop, they must also compress the living space of other populations.&1t;/p>

The profits of hunting deer are quite considerable, and the prices of these deer skins in the Ming Dynasty are pretty good. However, venison is more popular, especially in towns.&1t;/p>

Deer can grow horns and make them yang. They still eat green grass and clean. Venison is naturally more nutritious and is normal to be popular.&1t;/p>

These deer skins are obviously more profitable when sold to Japan, and Japanese prefer deer skins. Moreover, Japan's precious metals are less purchasing power.&1t;/p>

In addition to deer herds, there are also abundant fish in the Taijiang Sea. The inner 6 streams bring various nutrients required by microorganisms, thus providing abundant food for the fish. On the 6 ground, there are also many water nets, and there are also many fish in it.&1t;/p>

For those people from the north, Taiwan is like a paradise. It’s just that the facilities are a little worse, but the facilities can be built. A good life is always created with both hands.&1t;/p>

In addition to the employees of the Royal Agriculture Company, many other workers also came to Taiwan by boat. These workers mainly come to build various facilities, usually build houses and build roads, and go to the Royal Agriculture Company to work as temporary workers during busy farming, helping to harvest and plant.&1t;/p>

It is also possible to plant three-season rice in the rice fields of Royal Agriculture. As long as there is enough labor and a carriage to transport rice, it is completely fine to plant three-season rice a year.&1t;/p>

The wages of these workers are even higher, about 4 yuan a month. Without this wage, they are unwilling to come to Taiwan.&1t;/p>

Logging, quarrying, road construction, transportation, house repair, water conservancy, sugar raising, fishing, shipbuilding, ship repair, dock loading and unloading, etc. all require people, so many people are naturally not much less.&1t;/p>

Almost every few days, a group of ships will come from the shipping company, sending people from the north and Fujian to Taiwan continuously.&1t;/p>
