Chapter 614: Free World

Duan Fei happily stretched out his hands and supported him, and said happily: "Five, please don't be polite, you have come to greet this official on behalf of all the clans, could it be that all the clans on the island have agreed to the return of the imperial court to rule Paradise Island?" ”

The head of the delegate said respectfully: "This ...... It depends on what the court wants......"

It was really unexpected to see the representatives of the various ethnic groups on the island in Dagouzi Harbor, and Duan Fei immediately started a meeting with them, he wanted to know what kind of demands these representatives had brought. **Soak! Book. Bar*

Duan Fei's sincere expression satisfied the five delegates, and they each made their own demands, they demanded to keep the land they had obtained now, asked the imperial court to give them a certain amount of financial support every year, asked for a certain amount of autonomy, and so on.

Duan Fei was silent on the surface, in fact, he was already happy in his heart, the requirements of the various ethnic groups on the island were simply too low for him, Duan Fei originally planned to implement a high degree of autonomy on the island, and the leaders of the various ethnic groups on the island wanted to maintain the status quo and continue to rule their existing land, Duan Fei was still eager to do it, now what he lacks in his hands is people, this kind of ethnic minority area is better to let them be autonomous, and it will definitely be a problem to send a Han Chinese to rule in the past.

Duan Fei intends to develop Paradise Island into a fertile land of capitalism, and in the short term, the main thing is to carry out commercial trade in coastal ports, and the land requirements of various ethnic groups are not a big deal in Duan Fei's opinion, even if they draw a big circle around each of their villages, and most of the land is in a state of ownerlessness, whether it is to open a factory or farm in the future, it will be more than enough.

The requirements of various ethnic groups in terms of funds are not worth mentioning, Jinyiwei is not bad for money, and the sea merchants led by He Hai and Old Turtle are not bad for money, and this requirement can be directly digested at the commercial level.

Although his heart blossomed, Duan Fei still showed a heavy face on the surface, after the five representatives made their requests, Duan Fei frowned and thought about it, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, the five representatives exchanged glances with each other, the main representative was about to speak, Duan Fei suddenly raised his palm, and said with a smile: "This official thought about it just now, your request can be said to be not excessive, however...... You don't seem to be telling the truth about the amount of land and the population......"

Hearing Duan Fei's words, the five delegates all looked at each other, they did exaggerate the population of each tribe and the land they currently controlled, but these things didn't even have accurate figures for themselves now, how did Lord Qincha know that they were lying? Duan Fei said indifferently: "Representatives of the guards, this official is to negotiate with you on behalf of the saint of the current Ming Dynasty, with incomparable sincerity, this official can promise you most of the autonomy for the emperor, and can also promise for the emperor to let you keep the current land, but you also have to be a little sincere...... I suggest you go back and take a good count of the number of people...... What do you think of making a list and bringing it to the official, who will apply to the court for assistance according to the list, and the amount shared by each person can be doubled on the amount you requested? ”

The delegates were a little overwhelmed, Duan Fei continued: "The imperial court does not want to have a situation of empty salaries, the money for these aids must be really distributed to everyone in your clan, in addition, this official suggests that the Paradise Island Business Alliance will fund and issue a construction fund to each clan every year according to the situation of each ethnic group, to help you improve your living conditions, build bridges and pave roads, build schools, and buy daily necessities, and you need to help the business alliance manage the security on the island, and don't let those disdainful people harass the free trade on the island." ……”

Duan Fei's conditions were more generous than those proposed by the various ethnic groups themselves, and the five deputies were all a little moved, but Duan Fei's request to find out the population and establish a household registration system also made them hesitate.

Duan Fei continued to lure with interests, he promised that after finding out the current land owned by the various ethnic groups, he would not only ensure that the various ethnic groups would continue to own these lands, but also send people to reclaim twice as much land for the various ethnic groups and give it to them, establish official shops in the territories of the various ethnic groups, sell cheap medicinal materials and daily necessities and other preferential conditions, the representatives of the five ethnic groups were very moved, they verbally agreed to Duan Fei's request, and then immediately returned to their patriarchs and leaders to convey Duan Fei's opinions, and then negotiated in Tagouzigang after half a month.

After the representatives of the five clans left, Duan Fei summoned the merchants who had been listening to the meeting to continue the meeting, Duan Fei's promise to the various clans just now had not been discussed with these merchants, but everyone supported Duan Fei's decision, they would rather spend some money and let the clans take care of their own children, than they hired bodyguards to protect their ports and goods and even their lives, as long as the paradise island really started free and safe trade, that little aid cost has not been put in the eyes of the big bosses in front of them.

Duan Fei rested overnight in Dagouzi Harbor, and the next day he took some guards and began to patrol around Dagouzi Harbor in the company of merchants.

Wu Haiyan has already begun to expand the port of Dagouzi, and most of the people who are working the construction site are those who were bought back by Wu Haiyan, who are working hard under the shackles of shackles and the threat of whips, and occasionally see Duan Fei, and there is no special expression on their faces.

Duan Fei asked, "Are these widows obedient?" ”

Wu Haiyan smiled: "My lord, these widows are very obedient, and it is really strange to say, they are scary to think about before they are caught by adults, but after they are caught, they are as obedient as sheep, which is really incomprehensible." ”

He Hai smiled: "Do you need to talk about this? Naturally, it was the majesty of the adults that suppressed their evil spirit, and they could no longer be arrogant. ”

Everyone agreed, but Duan Fei shook his head and said: "This official doesn't have such great magical powers, what really makes these Japanese obedient and obedient is the cruel means and a tougher attitude than them, you must not be soft on the Japanese, you kill their father, they will fight with you, if you kill their mother, son and daughter, they will be well-behaved like dogs, this is the Japanese in the eyes of the official, if you encounter the arrogance of the Japanese in the future, you don't imitate it, of course, your own strength must be stronger than the other party." ”

Everyone laughed, and Duan Fei's words were quickly spread by the merchants, and into the ears of those who had been hurt by the Japanese Bandits, and they were even more willing to spread these words, so that this passage of words to the Japanese became a sensation, and people followed suit and spread it, and when they looked back at the Japanese Bandits, they suddenly felt completely different.

During the fifteen days, Duan Fei also went to inspect several other seaports warmly recommended by maritime merchants, including Dawan, Haizi's base.

On that night in Dawan, He Hai quietly came to see Duan Fei, and after talking some nonsense, he said under Duan Fei's questioning: "Brother Fei, you once said that there are still many places in this world that we have not been to, and now that the Japanese are gone, and the sea is open to trade, I plan to go to a farther place to see ......"
