Chapter 1053 - Sugar Factory
The South China Sea Fleet was about to return, and Li Zicheng left the outer harbor of Haojing with great expectations, and he stood on the deck, frequently looking in the direction of the dock, until he could no longer see the figure clearly on the pier.
Entering the waters of Fujian, the boat in front sent back a message: The headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia, there are still no ships coming!
Li Zicheng decided not to go back to Xiamen, and went to Taiwan first.
The fleet turned around and sailed northeast, landing at a pier off the coast of Anhua Province.
The dock is too small, except for the warships, only half of the transport ships can dock at the same time, Zhou Kun frowned: "Your Majesty, Anhua will be an important base for the South China Sea Fleet in the future, and this dock is obviously going to be expanded!"
"It really needs to be expanded," Li Zicheng looked left and right for a moment, and said, "In addition to the special wharf of the South China Sea Fleet, a civilian wharf will also be built to dock merchant ships!"
In his setting, the development of Taiwan Province will mainly rely on trade, and Anhua Province in the south is an open city and an important trade transit station, whether it is goods from China, or goods from Japan in the north and Chao # Xian, they can pass through Anhua transit, and even Anhua Fucheng is used as a delivery location.
In addition, Anhua and the Penghu Islands in the west, Xiamen County in Fujian Province, almost in a straight line, to develop passenger ferries, also need to occupy a certain wharf.
Zhou Kun muttered: "I hope the Dutch come over sooner, and after the battle, the dock can be expanded." ”
Li Zicheng nodded, the Dutch will definitely come, even if they give up Taiwan, they will not give up the Dutch population on the island.
It's just not known how the Dutch East India Company came over.
War or peace talks?
Li Zicheng and Zhou Kun took the lead in landing on the pier, and then the soldiers on the transport ship also went ashore to rest, but the warships were all anchored in the open sea, and the two Portuguese warships captured in Haojing were pulled to the sea by the soldiers for training, mainly to familiarize themselves with the performance of the warships.
"Zhou Aiqing, the Dutch may not be willing to give up, and concentrate the main battleships in one place first, so that they will not panic when the time comes."
"The emperor is right!" Zhou Kun said: "There are still some warships back to Xiamen, and the ministers will transfer them as soon as possible," after a pause, he said: "The fleet of Deputy Commander Zheng in the north is ......."
"The third battalion is also part of the South China Sea Fleet, they are more familiar with the Dutch, let's transfer them together, just in case!"
From the wharf to Anhua Mansion City, it took only half an hour for Li Zicheng to rush to the West City Gate, and Li Changxiang, the prefect of Anhua, had already taken hundreds of civil and military officials to kneel outside the city gate to greet him.
"Get up!" In Li Zicheng's gaze, except for the generals of the South China Sea Fleet in military uniforms, there were less than ten civilian officials, and he frowned unconsciously.
After entering the Fucheng, Li Zicheng summoned Li Changxiang, the prefect of Anhua, separately in the Fuya.
After Li Changxiang saluted again, he stood respectfully in front of Li Zicheng.
"Li Aiqing sit down, no formality," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "How is Anhua, how many people are there?" ”
"Wechen is ashamed," Li Changxiang was about to get up and kowtow again, but was stopped by Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, Wechen has not sorted out the boundaries of Anhua Mansion yet......"
"Anhua is a newly established house, except for the sea in the west, there is no boundary at this time," Li Zicheng said: "After a long time, Aiqing can gradually demarcate the boundary according to the mountains and rivers." ”
"Thank you to the emperor," Li Changxiang knew what the emperor cared about, so he said: "In Anhua City, there are about 5,000 Han people, and only 3,000 natives, and the number of Han people has a slight advantage. ”
"That's good, starting from Anhua City, and gradually developing outside the city," Li Zicheng said: "What about outside the city, I don't know from afar, Li Aiqing should always know some of the nearby lots, right?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the west of Anhua Mansion, up to the sea, belongs to the land of civilization, although the number of people is not much, it is mainly farming, the east is blocked by high mountains, it is difficult to develop in depth," Li Changxiang saw that Li Zicheng listened very carefully, tunnel: "The south is basically indigenous, but the population is not concentrated, Weichen is worried about the county, in the northeast, there are many aborigines, at least thousands of people, and many villages, Madou Society, Xingang Society, Xiaolong Society, Damu Descending Society, Mujiayanwan Society and other 28 societies ......"
"Don't be in a hurry about the city, take your time, aren't there Han people nearby?"
"Wechen understands," Li Changxiang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Wechen has already been inquired about, and these villages and communities are basically loyal to the Dutch......"
Li Zicheng's voice was cold, and he said: "The Dutch have been driven away, and the South China Sea Fleet will be stationed in Anhua Mansion for a long time!"
"Wechen understands!"
Li Zicheng sighed slightly and said, "Attacking the heart is the first, after all, they are our compatriots, but they have been separated for a long time...... Language, too, isn't it? ”
"It doesn't matter in terms of language," Li Changxiang finally showed some smiles on his face, and said: "Wechen found out that although the natives have no writing, they are similar to the languages of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, and if they are from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou and come to Anhua, most of them can communicate with the natives normally......"
"That's good, that's good," Li Zicheng also smiled: "I just saw that there are not enough officials in the prefect's yamen, right?" You can recruit some from the Han people at that time, and in addition, you can also recruit one or two people from the natives, so that the natives can see that if they return to the Han people, the government will not treat them badly!"
"The Emperor Shengming!"
Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Li Aiqing, don't do your best to give me a high hat, let's talk about it, what other problems do you need?" ”
"Puzzle?" Li Changxiang thought for a moment and said: "Weichen believes that the biggest problem is that the indigenous people are unwilling to give up the original cultivated land and will not agree with the government's re-issuance of cultivated land. ”
Li Zicheng thought for a moment and said, "There should be a lot of rich farmland in Anhua Mansion, right?" Since the people do not lack arable land, there is no need to redistribute the land, according to the original situation, the population and land can be registered, with Anhua Mansion as the center, from near to far, from easy to difficult, gradually naturalize the indigenous people, and give full play to the leading role of the Han people, including marriage, of course, can not be completely gracious, for the stubborn nail households, but also pay equal attention to grace and power!"
"Wechen understands, understands!"
Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Li Aiqing, when I return to Fujian, I will send you some officials!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Li Changxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen found two ...... making sugar in Anhua City Ao, machine ......"
"Sugar? Machine? Li Zicheng reacted instantly, "Sugar workshop? Or two? ”
"Yes, yes, it's a sugar workshop," Li Changxiang was relieved, "it was originally a Dutch factory, and there were also Han Chinese who worked as hired workers in the workshop......"
Li Zicheng's heart moved, "Can these Han people produce independently?" ”
Li Changxiang was a little disappointed, "Back to the emperor, Weichen asked these Han people, they are just ordinary hired laborers, mainly engaged in heavy chores, and the technology is in the hands of the Dutch. ”
Li Zicheng frowned slightly, not knowing whether the owner of the workshop was dead or imprisoned in Xiamen.
There are also many factories in Huaxia that make sugar, I don't know if there is a difference in technology, or rather, Huaxia uses traditional production technology, while the Dutch have a more advanced production process in the sugar production factory in Anhua?
If he wants to develop China's industry and commerce, he naturally refuses to let go of every technology, and a strong industry is composed of countless subtle technologies, and eventually forms a powerful China
Summer!
Now that the Dutch are already producing granulated sugar by machine, there should be progress in industry......
Li Changxiang saw Li Zicheng slightly frowning, so he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the employees of the sugar factory are still there, it is better to ...... Why don't they go to Xiamen and see the original Dutch......"
Li Zicheng bowed slightly, Li Changxiang said well, let the original employees of the sugar factory go to Xiamen, as long as the technical personnel are still there, they will definitely know each other.
These Dutchmen can be released, but the technology in their hands, must remain.
Taiwan's development originally relied on trade transit, if there are two sugar factories, not only the starting point of modern industry, but also can enrich the people, if the operation is appropriate, it can also help naturalize Taiwan's natives, so that they can enter the development of the Han nation as soon as possible......
At present, Taiwan's population is only 100,000, and as long as it is driven by the two industrial and commercial projects of transit trade and sugar production, it is very likely to be the first to become rich.
There are no GDP statistics now, otherwise, in a few years, the per capita GDP of Taiwan Province is likely to occupy the forefront of China!
The more Li Zicheng thought about it, the more excited he became, as if all this had come true, he did not hesitate, sent his own soldiers to recruit Zhou Kun, and asked Zhou Kun to send several hired workers to Xiamen overnight by transport ship, find out the Dutch in the sugar factory from the prisoners of war, and bring them all back to Anhua City.
Zhou Kun went to arrange the transport ship, but Li Zicheng remembered something, so he said: "Li Aiqing, what are the main raw materials for the Dutch to make sugar?" ”
"I heard it is...... Be...... Sugar cane grows in the ground......"
"Sugar cane?" Li Zicheng thinks this is reliable, sugarcane and sugar beets have high sugar content, which is the most important raw material for making sugar.
Since the sugar factory in Anhua City uses sugarcane as a raw material to make sugarcane, sugarcane must be produced near Anhua, and it seems that there are many places in the land of China that are suitable for the growth of sugarcane, as long as there are enough seeds......
The development of the sugar industry will not only promote the development of Taiwan's industry, but more importantly, it will enrich the people, who can produce sugarcane, a cash crop, in addition to grain.
In the future, the people of Fujian will immigrate to Taiwan, and each person will be given more land, and in addition to producing grain, they can also produce a large amount of sugarcane......
What if people give up growing food in pursuit of economic gain?
Appropriate restrictions must be put in place, and each young man must be guaranteed to produce a certain amount of grain before he can produce sugarcane, and if possible, the amount of sugarcane is not limited......
Li Zicheng immediately thought of the local natives.
The government must control the surplus land as soon as possible, and for the local natives, only by restoring their Han identity can they allocate more land, so that they can get rich as soon as possible through the production of sugar cane......
Perhaps in the beginning, some natives may be reluctant to restore their Han identity, but that's okay, when they see their neighbors on the left and right getting rich by restoring their Han identity, they can't help but be blushing!
The sugarcane industry in Taiwan Province is no longer a simple industry, but also plays an extremely important role in stabilizing Taiwan and naturalizing the indigenous people......
To promote sugarcane to the whole country of China, let's take a step forward, at least let the sugar factories in Anhua City resume production as soon as possible!
Li Zicheng communicated his ideas with Li Changxiang for a long time, and asked him, with the assistance of the South China Sea Fleet, to control the unowned wasteland and tidal flats as soon as possible, and to make full use of these lands in the future......
Li Zicheng stayed in the military camp in Anhua City that night, and he was bored at night, so he remembered Zhou Qingrou who stayed in Xiamen, and knew that Anhua City was dark at night, and nothing could be done, so it was better to bring Zhou Qingrou over......
