Chapter 212: The Headquarters Meeting

Facing this strange-looking young man, Sun Chuanting became very interested and went up to talk to Lu Xiangsheng. ◎ Xiao,...o asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Are you the Tanhua this year? Who is the person?"&1t;/p>

"I am a person from Jiangsu, I wonder if he is an adult?" Lu Xiangsheng bowed and asked with confusion.&1t;/p>

"Haha! This officer is the Minister of War and the Chief of Staff of the Command." Sun Chuanting smiled and introduced. After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but show admiration and bowed slightly again and said, "It turns out that he is Lord Sun. Before he got down, he heard that he was proficient in military affairs. After taking charge of the Ministry of War, he wiped out the situation in Liaodong. His name is really thunderous."&1t;/p>

Sun Chuanting's reputation is indeed very famous in the capital, but compared to the number of military numbers, his reputation is that he suddenly jumped from a small sesame official to the position of Minister of War like a rocket. Such promotion is really rare.&1t;/p>

Of course, Sun Chuanting still has a good reputation in military affairs. Since Sun Chuanting became the Minister of War, he mainly did military training. However, in the situation in Liaodong, he successfully stabilized and won several victories, which wiped out the decline of Liaodong. Although it was not all Sun Chuanting's contribution, the Minister of War was responsible for these things.&1t;/p>

"It's all a mess of outsiders. Since I served as the Minister of War, my Majesty has been mainly because of his great talent and strategy, which has stabilized the situation in Liaodong. My Official is mainly to help the emperor train troops, and the others are all fighting." Sun Chuanting said distractedly, and then asked Lu Xiangsheng: "You were just over the Tanhua, and the emperor summoned you to the commander-in-chief to listen to military affairs. With the wise eyes of the emperor, I believe you are not an ordinary talent. Have you studied military affairs before?"&1t;/p>

"Xiangsheng is not talented. I have read some military books." Lu Xiangsheng said with a bright look. When Lu Xiangsheng was young, he had a strong interest in military affairs. He not only liked to read military books, but also practiced martial arts.&1t;/p>

Sun Chuanting immediately threw out some military matters and started talking to Lu Xiangsheng. The atmosphere was very casual, but it was very meaningful to take the school exam.&1t;/p>

After some discussion, Lu Xiangsheng's answer made Sun Chuanting nodded in satisfaction. This young man was very solid in theory and really put in effort.&1t;/p>

The two were having a happy conversation. At this time, Zhu Youxiao arrived.&1t;/p>

"See Your Majesty."&1t;/p>

"See Your Majesty."&1t;/p>

After everyone gave a simple salute, they began to prepare for a meeting to discuss. Zhu Youchao Lu Xiangsheng said, "Lu Aiqing, you will be at the command center today. If you have the intention, you will serve in the command center in the future!"&1t;/p>

"I thank you for your Majesty. I am willing to serve in the Command." Lu Xiangsheng looked happy. It was obviously in line with his wishes to serve in the Military Department of the Command.&1t;/p>

"Okay, then let's have a meeting first!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then let everyone take a seat. Then Zhu Youxiao took out a memorial and let everyone circulate it. He took a sip of tea, and then said to everyone: "This time I let you come here. It is mainly to discuss the solution to the Dutch people, and to include Taiwan Island in our Ming Dynasty and establish a province. This is the report of Fujian Governor Shang Zhouzuo. It is the third time that the Dutch people have invaded Penghu, building a fort in Penghu, and demanding to trade with our Ming Dynasty."&1t;/p>

"Penghu is the gateway to the sea of ​​our Ming Dynasty, and we must not allow the Dutch to invade." Sun Chuanting said, "Once the Dutch occupy Penghu, will we not be at peace on the coast of our Ming Dynasty?"&1t;/p>

"Sun Aiqing said it is right. We must never give up Penghu. However, if the Dutch people are driven out of Penghu, the Dutch may retreat to Taiwan to build a fort. Taiwan has abundant land but there is no big openness. There are large areas of land there. As long as it is cultivated, it will be fertile fields. Planting rice can even ripen three times a year, but it is probably too late for farmers to harvest. In addition, disasters such as typhoons, rice is completely fine for two seasons a year."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao continued: "And there are a large amount of wood resources in the mountains in the central part of Taiwan Island. On the western plains, there are also a large number of deer herds. A large number of deer skins, deer antlers, and venison meat can be produced. The most important thing is that Taiwan is not only suitable for growing rice, but also for large-scale planting of sugarcane. As long as Taiwan is included in the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty, it can not only become a granary of the Ming Dynasty, but also produce a large amount of sugar sugar for the Ming Dynasty."&1t;/p>

"In addition, Taiwan is isolated overseas. If our Ming Dynasty does not put Taiwan in jurisdiction early, it will be occupied by foreigners in the future. At that time, our Ming Navy will be blocked at the doorstep if he wants to go to sea. Moreover, Taiwan is now without government management and has become a place where pirates occupy it. Those pirates use Taiwan as a base and often raid the coast."&1t;/p>

After saying so much, Sun Chuanting and the others couldn't hear that the emperor wanted to expand his territory and turn Taiwan into a province of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

"The emperor is wise, but if you cultivate Taiwan, you still need to make detailed plans. There are not many people in Taiwan now, and we still have to migrate a group of people to Taiwan."&1t;/p>

"I have already thought about this. First build a fort to defend against pirates and Westerners, and then the Royal Agricultural Company will open it. It doesn't matter if it drives slower, but resources must be held in your hands." Zhu Youxiao decided that it is nothing more than to carry out the commodity economy to the end. If it is allocated to land to attract immigrants, then the small peasant economy will be created, and there are really not many resources that can be drawn.&1t;/p>

Taiwan is not a cold and bitter place like Siberia, so naturally there is no need to rely on the distribution of land to attract immigrants. There are so many people who cannot survive in the Ming Dynasty, as long as agricultural companies can afford wages, people will naturally go to Taiwan to live.&1t;/p>

There is no need to create such a complex social structure in Taiwan, enclose land directly on it, and then build farms, and then use the employing system to produce it. It doesn’t matter if the agricultural production is extensive, as long as the personal output value can be increased, and then the most commercial agricultural products can be obtained. To put it bluntly, it is the agricultural production model of Westerners, and Zhu Youxiao intends to turn Taiwan into a royal private island and enclose all the land in Taiwan.&1t;/p>

"Whether the Dutch, Your Majesty thinks how to solve it?" Sun Chuanting asked.&1t;/p>

"Don't the Dutch want to trade? Then let's trade with them. But before trading, the navy was transferred south and taught the Dutch a lesson before talking. Beating them well, then talking about trade. The profits of maritime trade are huge, and we just happened to sell the goods from our northern Zhili to the Dutch." Zhu Youxiao said.&1t;/p>

“Where is the place to trade?”&1t;/p>

"Just in Penghu! After driving the Dutch away, the navy stationed in Penghu and established a fort. If the Dutch wanted to trade with me, Daming, let them come to Penghu. Let the Royal Trading Company come forward and draw goods from all over the country to trade with the Dutch." Zhu Youxiao decided.&1t;/p>

Trading is naturally profitable, but private capital must not be involved, as it will increase the gap between the rich and the poor among the people. However, such trading is far less profitable than transporting goods to the destination and conducting trade with barbarians.&1t;/p>

However, Zhu Youxiao knew very well that he did not have enough power to monopolize maritime trade. However, the trade between the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty was still very helpful for the export of goods in Northern Zhili. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
