After inspecting Taiwan Island, Zhao Ming came back to convene civil and military officials in Donghai Town to discuss matters and proposed the general strategy of Donghai Town in the next few years to develop Taiwan, wait for the opportunity to attack the Qing Dynasty.

The last time he fought with Duoduo in Fujian, Zhao Ming saw the role of advanced weapons in the war.

Zhao Ming was preparing to develop production, reserve military rations, start industries, earn money, and then invest in weapons manufacturing, striving to achieve the military upgrade of Donghai Town before the next war, and sweep the Qing Dynasty with a modern military attitude.

"These are several new policies in Taiwan. Please check it out!" Chen Mingyu presented a booklet in Zhao Ming's study room in the Grand Governor's residence.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Sir, tell me directly."

Chen Mingyu heard the words and took back the booklet, and immediately said: "Duke, Taiwan's problem is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the Qing Dynasty prohibits the sea, and the population in the Central Plains has sharply decreased, and the people have land to cultivate, so it is not easy for us to obtain a population. If Taiwan wants to develop, there must be people. Therefore, the new policy mainly has two directions: one is to attract the population, and the other is to educate the few people."

Zhao Ming nodded, "Sir, continue."

Chen Mingyu said: "There are two main directions to attract populations. One is to continue to move from the Central Plains to migrate the people, and the other is to attract young people from the mountains to go down the mountain. These new populations are divided into land according to the guards, land for land, planted bamboos as garrisons, and cut oxen into houses, and surrounded and cultivated cattle to plow, so that there is no open land in the wild, so that the army will have surplus grain. The newly returned people will be exempted from taxes within three years. After three years, the upper, middle and lower levels will be determined according to the land, and taxes will be established."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "How to educate him?"

Although Chinese culture has strong assimilation ability, many ethnic groups in history have been assimilated into the Han ethnic group, and even a group of Jews moved to Henan was assimilated, but when the young people went down the mountain and Han people from all over the country lived together, conflicts would inevitably occur.

Chen Mingyu said: "Education mainly relies on subtle influence, so that the young people are willing to integrate into and become us from the bottom of their hearts. Mr. Li Ke Dai means to build temples and temples, worship the two emperors of Yan and Huang, sacrifices every year, hold temple fairs, and allow the young people to worship and participate in temple fairs. There is also a stage to organize opera troupes to go to the countryside for free performances during the slack season. Finally, a new elementary school is allowed to send children to school."

Zhao Ming nodded, "Let's do it for now."

After listening to Chen Mingyu's report, Zhao Ming called Cheng Bi who came from Fujian again.

Seeing him enter the study, Zhao Ming couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Cheng, how is Huaxing Company planned?"

Cheng Bi bowed and said: "Reporting to the Duke of the People's Republic of China, the company's shares raised has ended, and a total of nearly 7 million taels of silver was raised."

Zhao Ming took a breath, "So much? I only took out three million taels. Now I raise four million taels. Wouldn't I absolutely not be able to control the company?"

Cheng Bi smiled and said, "Donald's Duke forgot the Europa Company? Huaxing Company directly reorganized the Europa Company, so the Europa Company was discounted by 500,000 taels, and the Duke actually invested 3.5 million taels."

The bag company actually sold 500,000 taels for discount. Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and then laughed, "The recruitment was completed, has the workshop started to be established?"

Cheng Bi clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Duke of the People's Republic of China, the company has acquired some small workshops in Wenzhou and Fuzhou and started production."

Zhao Ming was a little surprised at Cheng Bi's speed, but raising shares and obtaining a lot of money was originally intended to overcome the initial accumulation and start to expand wildly.

"Then are there any problems facing the company now?" Zhao Ming asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Bi said truthfully: "I dare not hide it from the Duke of the State. There are two main problems now."

Zhao Ming frowned and said, "What two questions?"

Cheng Bi said: "First, the lack of production raw materials and the workshop cannot expand its scale. Second, the ban on sea from the Qing Dynasty. In addition, after the Fujian Incident, maritime trade was cut off, and many merchants in Xiyi and Annan did not know that we resumed production, and the Dutch who knew we had goods for sale wanted to lower prices and reduce our profits."

Zhao Ming pondered: "The sea trade has been cut off for so long. Now that the company has re-production and resumes maritime trade, it is indeed necessary for marine merchants from all over the country to know that we have goods for sale. If there are many marine merchants coming and competing with each other, the Dutch will not be able to lower the price."

Cheng Bi nodded, "The Duke is right. If all maritime merchants come to purchase goods, the Dutch really does not have a way to reduce the price. However, in addition to purchasing goods from us, there are still many ships to Japan. It is precisely because of the development of the Japanese silk weaving industry in recent years that the Dutch dares to lower our price."

Cheng Bi mentioned this issue last time when he was in Fujian.

The technology required by the silk weaving industry is not high. Now there is Japan and the UK will be the competitor in the future.

Japan's silk weaving industry is still very weak now. Zhao Ming doesn't mind practicing with the Japanese to prepare for the future defeat of Britain's textile industry and killing the British industrial revolution.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, then sneered: "Then do what I said before, first burn money to defeat the Japanese and form a monopoly. At the same time, an expo can be held to display various commodities and ask merchants from all over the world to come and purchase. At that time, there will be only one product, and not only the Dutch people want to purchase goods, but our goods can naturally be sold at a price that meets the market."

After hearing this, Cheng Bi nodded frequently, "The Duke of the State is wise!"

After Zhao Ming returned to Tamsui, he handled official duties in the Grand Governor's Office, and was very busy. While he was busy, the Governor's Office was happily preparing for his marriage.

As time goes by, June is coming in very open. On Tamsui Pier, there are crowds coming to congratulate you every day.

Zhao Ming can now be said to be a great celebrity in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yihai regarded him as his right-hand man. Zhao Ming started Huaxing Company. After Zhu Yihai learned about it, he immediately took out 300,000 taels to participate. Now Zhao Ming has been married and sent Xia Wanchun to bring many congratulatory gifts.

Emperor Longwu also tried every means to win over Zhao Ming and suppressed all the generals of the Zhejiang clan to a greater or lesser extent, but he was not stingy in rewarding Zhao Ming. Before Zhao Ming's marriage was married, the envoy from Longwu sent to enthrone the Duke's wife to go to Taiwan.

In addition to Longwu and Zhu Yihai, many generals such as Li Chengdong, Zhang Mingzhen, Wu Zhaosheng, Fang Guoan, and Zheng Chenggong all sent people and even came to congratulate them in person.

When many guests arrived, a boat from Zhoushan docked at Tamsui Wharf. The bride Li Zhizhi was also taken to Taiwan by Zhao Ming's personal guard. Duke Zhao, who had been single for many years, finally ushered in an important moment in his life.
