04 Short-sighted plan?
However, Li Tianyang's methods do not stop there, the backwardness of the indigenous people comes from their shallow social and world cognition, and it is precisely because of their shallow cognition that they pay more attention to their immediate interests rather than more long-term interests.
Therefore, Li Tianyang is planning to do something to open the eyes of this group of native natives and wave their hearts, so that they can open their eyes and see the outside world.
This idea was born a long time ago, even back to the time when Dahai betrayed the alliance and finally fled. It is precisely because of this incident that Li Tianyang has asked himself to reflect on why the indigenous people will still resist the changes brought about by Bengang in the face of a better life and environment, and how to better control the thoughts and actions of the indigenous people.
Since Cao Yongyi took the line of Wei Zhongxian, although the grandfather of Wei may not remember that there is such a horse boy as Cao Yongyi, but under the power of the fox and the tiger, Cao Yongyi has lived very well.
Lost the position of the Penghu garrison, but got a real difference between the commander of the guard and the deputy chief soldier of Fujian, Cao Yongyi has a comfortable life these days!
With the Bengang team that has always maintained a good relationship with him around him, and now that the strength of the territory and trade are getting bigger and bigger, Cao Yongyi naturally has to get a lot of benefits from the Bengang team, although it is not enough for him to deal with the backer with a great appetite above. But now, in terms of his actual status, if he wants to find some ways to get some oil and water, it is not as good as when he was among the Penghu sailors, no one cares, and some people come to the door with their eyes.
Of course, whether it is from the perspective of his long-term friendly relationship with the Bengang team, or the current comparison of the strength of the Bengang people, Cao Yongyi will never do anything that is inch-blind and easily offend the Bengang team.
On the contrary, because the strength of Bengang Hongtang has risen sharply and he has become the uncrowned king of the South China Sea, Cao Yongyi and the backers behind him look at their Bengang team differently.
Guy Fujian is thousands of miles away from Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty, even if the eunuch party has an advantage in the court, but in the local area, it is still the Confucian disciples led by the Donglin Party who control the real power.
This is especially the case in Fujian, don't look at Cao Yongyi's life on the surface now, but in fact, he has not been able to insert many henchmen into the Fujian soldiers and horses, and has not received much help, but has been deeply restrained by Nan Juyi, the master of Futai.
Therefore, Li Tianyang, who has huge strength, has become a powerful help to Cao Yongyi outside, plus the filial piety that Bengang has always provided to him, as long as his head is not in the water, Cao Yongyi will definitely not be able to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
And although Li Tianyang once promised the old general Shen Yourong that he would not have too much intersection with Cao Yongyi and their eunuch party, but at this time and then, although the eunuch party was strong at the beginning, the actual Donglin party was not weak, and everyone was fighting evenly in the court. But as time went by, Wei Zhongxian relied on the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, as well as the gap between the Emperor of the Apocalypse's obsession with carpentry and his reluctance to go to the court, to win over his henchmen and suppress dissidents, and had already cleared out a large number of Donglin henchmen and officials sympathetic to the Donglin Party in the court.
Now in the court, except for the few Donglin party members who have solid feet, the rest are either the eunuch party generation, or the people who are wise enough to protect themselves, and there is no opponent who can match Wei Zhongxian's party.
Therefore, now Li Tianyang is thinking about whether he can take advantage of this opportunity to fight for a little benefit for his team.
The implications are as follows:
First, now the Bengang team is honest, except for Cao Yongyi and the county commanders in several counties around Yuegang in Fujian, there are no other bureaucratic partners who can cooperate and benefit each other.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty today, behind many bureaucrats, there are already other investors, such as Jin merchants and Hui merchants in the province to provide financial resources for the imperial examinations of the children of various poor families, and after these children and sergeants, they will turn around to protect the interests of Jin merchants and Hui merchants.
In the same way, although Fujian has not formed its own commercial system, there are few ports open to foreign people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a fertile soil for the birth of capitalism, and the collusion between officials and businessmen has long been spread throughout the Fujian government without being taught.
A turnip and a pit, the Bengang team without a foundation wants to cultivate a representative of officials who can be on the stage, which requires a lot of time and money, and Li Tianyang may not have so much time to do these things.
If you want to open up the inland market of the Ming Dynasty and cultivate Qixintang into a big business that is no longer limited to one place and one government, behind them, you need the existence of such a character to make others jealous, otherwise the more smoothly they develop Qixintang, the more they will be the fat in others.
Second, Li Tianyang hopes that his development of Dayuan Island can be approved by the Ming Dynasty government, otherwise Li Tianyang and his team's development zone will spend their days in fear, and no one knows if the Ming Dynasty will suddenly turn its face, let the local government clean up this group of non-governmental organizations without official names to develop Dayuan, and take back the well-developed places such as Jilong Port and Bengang.
Although the Daming government regarded Dayuan Island as a wild land outside the world, it was not worth their development, and they were not even willing to take this piece of borderless land into their pockets. Danshuikeng they never wanted others to occupy the meaning of developing Dayuan Island, once the Japanese and the Dutch wanted to gain a foothold on Dayuan Island, but later they were still driven out by the Ming Dynasty sent troops, which naturally means self-evident.
For this reason, Li Tianyang has been carefully developing Bengang and Jilong Gang, trying to copy the government agencies of later generations, in addition to nostalgia for the former world, more to prevent his behavior from touching the sensitive strings of the Ming Dynasty.
The establishment of neighborhood committees, battalions and companies, etc., etc., all kinds of specious, and the name of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep is to hope that the Daming government will not think that Dayuan Island is forming another government function.
Even so, Li Tianyang is worried that he still can't hide these practices, because they don't have their own spokesperson in the court, and there is no one who can speak for themselves.
But with the strong rise of Wei Zhongxian, Li Tianyang saw from him the hope that the Bengang team would turn the darkness into light, develop Dayuan freely, and appear in the territory of Daming.
Although Wei Zhongxian is greedy and suppresses dissidents, he is not without benefits, that is, he is a person who does things very well, if he accepts people's money and agrees to other people's things, he always does what he says and never sloppily.
Of course, if you want someone like someone like you to help, you need a lot of money, and you need someone who can connect with them!
