Originally, in the eyes of He Kang and others, Chi Ciancheng was majestic and symbolized the Dutch's rule over the indigenous people, but now they see piles of ruins.

The wall facing the sea of ​​Chichicheng City has almost completely collapsed, broken bricks are everywhere, and there are still several twisted and deformed thick cannons on the ground.

Along the way, Luzon soldiers dressed in red straight military uniforms were everywhere.

He Kang thought silently while walking. He was shocked to find that the number of soldiers in the Luzons was actually much higher than that of the Dutch.

Seeing the muskets of Luzon soldiers with upright military postures falling on their shoulders, He Kang's neck suddenly became cold.

"Everyone, these two are the naval governor of the General Luzon Mansion You Degao and the left deputy governor Zhao Jingyong. They are the plenipotent representatives of the General Luzon Mansion in Taiwan. You can negotiate with them if you have anything."

The Luzon soldiers who were in charge of leading the way clearly introduced them to more than 30 Han people and the elders of the Indigenous Village Committees before turning around and retreating aside.

Chiqian City is also a three-story structure. You Degao and Zhao Jingyong met these leaders and elders in front of the chief office on the third floor.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the Dutch were unable to exercise strict control over the indigenous people, so they could only gather more than twenty indigenous villages to form a local council, thereby achieving rule and management of all indigenous peoples.

Of course, this parliament was not a democratic parliament in later generations, but just a tool for the Dutch to issue orders.

The time when You Degao and others occupied Taiwan was very clever. Just four years ago, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Dutch had just begun to carry out large-scale suppression and conquest of the indigenous people such as Madou Society.

By the 12th year of Chongzhen, the Dutch had completed the conquest of the indigenous people of Tainan and began to conquer the indigenous people in Taichung and other areas.

Therefore, when they saw the majestic You Degao and Zhao Jingyong, both the Han people and the tamed natives all fell to the ground with a plop.

"Meet the two sirs"

There are many Han people in Tainan, and many indigenous people speak Chinese. There are also many Fujian and Guangdong soldiers in the Luzon army recruiting translators in Qianzhou, so the communication between the two sides is not hindered.

You Degao and Zhao Jingyong, who were originally sitting on the golden sword of the Malaysian horse, hurriedly stood up and helped the kneeling elders a few steps forward.

"Dear masters, my General Luzon came here to liberate you from the slavery of the Dutch. We are not going to turn you into our slaves again. From now on, facing all the officials of my General Luzon, there is no need to kneel down."

Zhao Jingyong also followed the side and said, "Get up, no one is allowed to kneel down except for paying homage to the general."

He Kang and others looked at each other and hesitated to get up. No one knew what the Luzonian wanted to do.

You Degao waved his hand to signal the soldiers beside him to see the seats. Someone immediately came to arrange them with small tables, stools, fruit snacks and other items.

After everyone sat down, You Degao then looked relaxed and signaled everyone to taste the things on the table.

"The army is simple and there is nothing to be entertained. You can try the candies and chocolates I produced in Luzon. These are all my Luzon

Specialties, but can’t be eaten elsewhere.”

As early as when Liu Ximing arrived in Luzon, he discovered that the Spanish had already started growing cocoa beans on Luzon Island and were referring to beverages made from cocoa, which is called chocolate.

For this reason, Liu Ximing wrote down the modern method of making chocolate, which is still called chocolate, and is now a major specialty in Luzon.

Because of its high energy and deliciousness, and its convenience of preservation, chocolate was even included in the Luzon Army's military ration supply, becoming a favorite of officers and soldiers.

He Kang picked up a piece of things that looked dark but still had patterns, and learned from You Degao and bit it down.

Sweet, so sweet.

The rich cocoa fragrance and sweet taste spread in He Kang's mouth, and the atmosphere in front of the Chief Office suddenly became active.

The Luzons seem to be less terrifying than the rumors, He Kang muttered.

Seeing that the Han people and the Aboriginal Head Elders began to whisper, He Kang looked at You Degao and Zhao Jingyong who were just smiling and silent, and mustered up and stood up and bowed to them.

"The little old man is He Kang, the eldest elder of Dongtou Village. He has seen two governors. The little old man dared to ask the two governors. After the Luzon army expelled the red-haired army, they don't know what to do with us?"

A group of Han people and Indigenous head elders who were still eating and drinking all put down their hands and looked at the master.

You Degao laughed and waved his hand to signal He Kang to sit down, "Elder He is asking this question. Now the heads and elders of the villages and communities around the officials are here, so I will announce to you my Luzon policy."

"From today, the entire island of Taiwan will belong to our Luzon. All the land, people, mountains, rivers and minerals on the island will belong to our Luzon General's Mansion. No one will be allowed to act without the approval of our Luzon."

"Wow"

You Degao's words made He Kang and others numb. Is this going to take away all the land and property we were waiting for? This is even more cruel than the Hongmao and the Zheng family.

"Governor, we have reclaimed these lands by hoe and sickle. How could you just take them away?"

"Yes, the red-haired guy doesn't dare to do this."

Ignoring the protests below, You Degao still smiled and signaled everyone to listen to him.

"Don't panic, I haven't finished speaking yet. My Luzon General's Mansion practices Datongism, so all the land, mountains and rivers belong to the state, but this does not mean that we are going to exploit you."

"Although the land belongs to Luzon, you can still continue to cultivate these lands, but you cannot trade them. At the same time, the Dutch people in the past, that is, what you call the red hair, have all the heavy taxes that I have paid on your heads. Within five years, I will not have any taxation."

You Degaobi showed his index finger with his right hand, "There are only two. One is to retain the tribute, which is mainly used to swear allegiance to our generals, and each person only charges one cent a year."

"The other is that all the grain and other goods produced in the villages in the future can only be sold to Changping Store under the jurisdiction of the General Luzon. If I find that anyone sold to others without authorization by Luzon, they will be severely punished."

China's taxes and taxes are separated, and taxes mainly refer to the capita tax, so Kangma

Only then could I say something like never adding tuition. In the environment at that time, it did not actually reduce any burden on the Han people, but this was enough for a group of people to brag about for hundreds of years.

He Kang asked keenly: "I don't know what the acquisition the governor mentioned is at?"

"Don't worry, the Governor promises that the output of our acquisition of our village in Luzon will never be lower than the market price."

"The general's mansion is benevolent and righteous!"

As soon as You Degao finished speaking, He Kang was stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed with joy.

The elders of other Han villages and communities also stood up and saluted with excitement.

"Don't worry, our Luzon General's Mansion has more than just these benevolent policies. In the future, whether it is Han or Indigenous, my family will start schools and clinics in various villages. All the people under my rule in Luzon can attend schools for free and receive free diagnosis and treatment."

"hiss"

Now, He Kang was no longer ecstatic, but instead showed a look of confusion.

What is the purpose of this Luzon General's Mansion? How can there be an official who does not snatch money from the people?

I don’t believe the old man. Is there a conspiracy here?

He Kang was deeply confused, but with his insight, how could he see through Luzon's open conspiracy?

The others at the scene didn't have as many ideas as He Kang. When they heard what You Degao announced, they all cheered.

You Degao and Zhao Jingyong looked at each other with a smile.

At present, these outputs on Taiwan’s island are not in the eyes of General Luzon’s Mansion. Now there are few people on our side, so the key is to settle Taiwan first.

As for how to continue to deepen and promote the state-owned system in the future, there will always be other methods such as high-yield species and economic penetration.

"By the way, the Dutch have been captured by our army. Given that the Dutch had repeatedly suppressed and humiliated the Taiwanese people during his time in Taiwan, our army decided to hold a public trial in Chichicheng City three days later. At that time, everyone will revenge and revenge, and our Luzon General's Mansion will never tolerate it."

"Long live the General's Mansion, we are willing to surrender."

Almost as soon as You Degao finished speaking, both the indigenous people and the Han people burst into cheers.

Speaking of which, the Luzon General's Mansion had to adopt such a large-scale policy of politeness, on the one hand, because Luzon and the Netherlands had different positionings on Taiwan.

The Dutch only regarded Taiwan as a colony, thinking about how to earn the greatest value for the East India Company, which is a conqueroter's dominance idea.

Luzon, on the other hand, built Taiwan as its sovereign territory. This cannot only think of plundering the Taiwanese people. Instead, the strong production capacity of Luzon and the Liu family can be appropriately fed back.

Another important aspect is that after years of development, the Liu family has begun new research on the fiscal and taxation system.

Su Jin and others have begun to understand the difference between direct tax and indirect tax. Under the powerful state-owned system of Luzon, even if the people of Taiwan are not directly imposed on taxes, indirect taxes can be imposed through the circulation of goods.
