Taiwan, but he planned an important base for the Chinese Imperial Army.

But I don't know how Chen Mo in Beijing did his job searching for cinchona trees and artemisia annua, these two things have a miraculous effect on malaria, it is said that the surname of the country is to die of malaria, otherwise he would not have died young.

Of course, with the current medical conditions, my father-in-law would definitely not be able to organize people to refine the essence of the medicine, but if he couldn't mention it, he would eat it raw and boiled.

Anyway, you can't die if you eat it, and it definitely has medicinal value.

It's better to eat than not to eat.

My father-in-law is very sorry for his life.

As a last resort, he will not venture to Taiwan with an empty stomach, take a look, and draw a few small circles everywhere.

As long as malaria can be overcome, running Taiwan is not an empty phrase.

The local aborigines are very easy to solve, and it is also feasible to recruit Han people from the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang to reclaim, and in a dozen years, Taiwan can be "sinicized" and become an inseparable part of the Ming court, and it has also become an important base for the imperial army built by his father-in-law Wei.

In the plan, Taiwan will have to support at least two divisions and regiments in the coming days.

Ruan Dacheng communicated with Pei Guangpao for a while, and he was probably asking according to the meaning of Gonggong Wei, mainly because the father-in-law wanted to know what goods they wanted to buy from Daming, how to trade them, and so on.

Pei Guangpao said that the main reason for going to sea this time was to buy some porcelain and iron tools, and some silk from the south of the Yangtze River. The first two things were also bought by ordinary people in Annam, while the latter were mainly sold to the wealthy class. The weather in Annam was hot, and the thin clothes made of silk were very popular with the aristocracy and wealthy class of Annam.

Gonggong Wei thought about it and asked Ruan Dacheng to "tell".

The general idea is that Pei Guangpao can directly trade with the merchants and government of the Ming Dynasty, but Gonggong Wei hopes that in the future, Pei Guangpao, including more merchants from Annam, will be able to cooperate directly with his old man, because his old man has developed a special zone specializing in maritime trade at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and merchants from various countries can not only buy any goods they need in the special zone, but the price of goods must be cheaper than that sold in other places.

The most important thing is that Gonggong Wei allowed merchants from all over the world to buy land and buy real estate in the special zone and set up long-term trading houses, which were recognized by the Admiral Maritime Yamen, also recognized by the emperor of the Ming court, and protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

To be specific, Gonggong Wei made a comparison between the Special Administrative Region and the Portuguese Macao, and he clearly told Pei Guangpao that his maritime special zone was a hundred times better than Macao, because as long as merchants from various countries engaged in trade in the special zone, then they could be protected by the Ming royal navy and army.

The father-in-law pointed out very deeply that the reason why Pei Guangpao's fleet ran away in fear when they saw the Japanese was because they were afraid of being robbed and killed by the Japanese people, but they did not have the corresponding or lack of defense capabilities. But as long as they join the maritime special zone, it is different, the Ming Royal Navy provides armed escort, and even after the conflict between merchant ships and some local governments, they can also intervene by force to ensure that the interests of merchants from various countries recognized by the Admiral's Maritime Yamen are not lost.

Tax exemption, tax reduction, land and property purchase, the same protection by the law as the residents of the country, enjoy convenient "one-stop" trading services, protected by the Ming royal navy and army, etc......

A series of conditions were laid out, and one by one Ruan Dacheng's pen was listed on the paper, and Pei Guangpao, who looked at it, was stunned.

Ruan Dacheng was sad and indignant in his heart: This Wei eunuch is doing this, it is simply a foreign country! Traitor! Or intervene in disputes with local governments by force? This... It's just...

Ruan Dacheng was speechless.

Pei Guangpao was a little excited and trembling and wrote two Chinese characters on the paper - "Seriously"

Ruan Dacheng looked at Father-in-law Wei with complicated eyes, and Father-in-law chuckled, and went straight to the four words of the pretext - "The believer is invincible"!

The father-in-law's calligraphy inherits Dong Qichang, and the four characters are written, and the pen is shining.

Pei Guangpao reacted quickly, this time he didn't need to pick up a pen to write, and knelt directly in front of Gonggong Wei.

The father-in-law laughed, helped him up, and let Ruan Dacheng continue to write.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no such thing as a free kindness.

Father-in-law can make you Pei Guangpao smile and excited, and you Pei Guangpao also have to make your father-in-law satisfied.

That's a condition.

Seeing the Chinese characters written by the other party on the paper, Pei Guangpao was a little confused, and hurriedly wrote that he didn't know what goods Wei wanted him to bring to Daming.

The answer is rice.

The word rice was written by my father-in-law himself.

Rice?

Pei Guangpao was stunned, not because he couldn't get rice, but in Annam, rice is a very cheap commodity. Anyone who traded with the Ming Dynasty in Annam either traded with gold and silver, or traded spices with some precious specialties of Annam, but never traded rice.

However, this admiral and minister wanted him Pei Guangpao to trade with the Special Administrative Region with the rice occupied by Annan, which made Pei Guangpao really tear his sister.

Rice is so cheap, so cheap.

The father-in-law looked at the other party's expression, and he knew that if he wanted the other party to trade rice, he would definitely suffer a loss. Because the yield of Champa rice in Southeast Asia is extremely high, so that the price of rice in Southeast Asian countries is extremely cheap, and the sea trade focuses on profit, and it is a big profit. Therefore, no one in the maritime merchants did this rice business.

However, my father-in-law knows that the most lacking thing in the current Ming Dynasty is not gold and silver, but food!

At present, the Xiaoice River has just begun, and the impact of bad weather on grain production is only a small and partial one, and it has not yet caused natural disasters and man-made chaos that will sweep China in the future.

But if you don't prepare now, you will prepare again in the future, and it will be too late!

Grain is not something that can be bought by buying, but it will be exhausted just by transporting and hoarding it.

What's more, the food needed by the Ming Dynasty in the future is astronomical, and it cannot be provided by the power of Annan alone.

Therefore, in order to cope with future natural disasters and food shortages, it is necessary to start preparing now.

While vigorously purchasing rice from Annam, it was also necessary to select land to build warehouses and hoard grain when conditions permitted, and even to engage in "land circulation" in the Ming Dynasty, reduce economic crops, and use various means to cope with the future, so that natural and man-made disasters could be eliminated and national strength would not be consumed by civil strife.

As for preparing food ten years in advance, whether it is too early and whether it will be wasted, my father-in-law does not consider this at all.

Grain, no more than other things, moldy grain is better than rice bran and Guanyin soil.

In addition, food can also be processed and reused.

When domestic self-reliance is not yet possible, it is very important to introduce food from abroad. Southeast Asia's rice production is extremely high, and the scenes of China's civil strife, reduced grain production, thousands of miles of famine, no one for a hundred miles, and the people are hungry will never appear in Southeast Asian countries. Double-cropping, or even triple-cropping, high-yielding rice is a sharp weapon.
