Taiwan is an important base for the Imperial Army he planned.

But I don’t know how Chen Mo from Beijing searched for him for Jinjina and Artemisia annua for him. These two things are miraculous for malaria. It is said that the master of Guo’s surname died of malaria, otherwise he would not have died young.

Of course, with the existing medical conditions, my father-in-law will definitely not be able to organize people to extract the essence of the drug, but if they cannot be extracted, they will eat it raw and cook it.

Anyway, it won't die of eating, and it will definitely have medicinal value.

It's better to eat than not to eat.

My father-in-law is particularly jealous of his life.

Without any last resort, he would not risk going to Taiwan to take a walk, take a look, and draw a few small circles anywhere.

As long as you can overcome malaria, operating Taiwan is not empty talk.

The local indigenous people are easy to solve, and it is feasible to recruit Han people from the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang to cultivate. In more than ten years, Taiwan will be "Sinicized" and become an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty's court. It also becomes an important base for the Imperial Army built by Eunuch Wei.

In the plan, at least Taiwan will support two divisions in the future.

Ruan Dacheng communicated with Pei Guangpao for a moment again, and was basically asking according to Eunuch Wei's intention, mainly because his father-in-law wanted to know what goods they wanted to buy from the Ming Dynasty, how to trade them in detail, etc.

Pei Guangpao said that this time he went to sea, he mainly wanted to buy some porcelain and iron tools, and some silk made in Jiangnan. The first two things can be bought by ordinary Annan people, while the latter is mainly sold to the rich. The weather in Annan is hot, and thin clothes made of silk are very popular among the Annan nobles and rich people.

Eunuch Wei thought about it and asked Ruan Dacheng to "transmit".

The general idea is that Pei Guangpao can directly trade with the merchants and government officials of the Ming Dynasty, but Eunuch Wei hopes that Pei Guangpao, including more Annan merchants, can directly cooperate with him in the future, because he developed a special zone specializing in maritime trade at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Merchants from various countries can not only buy any goods they need in the special zone, but also the price of the goods must be cheaper than those sold in other places.

The most important thing is that Eunuch Wei allowed merchants from all countries to purchase land and buy property within the special zone, establish long-term trading companies, which were recognized by the Admiral Maritime Office, and also recognized by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and protected by the Ming Dynasty's laws.

To be specific, Eunuch Wei compared the Special Zone with the Portuguese Macau. He clearly told Pei Guangpao that his maritime special zone was a hundred times better than Macau, because as long as merchants from various countries engaged in trade in the Special Zone, they could be protected by the Royal Navy and Army of the Ming Dynasty.

My father-in-law pointed out deeply that the reason why Pei Guangpao's fleet was afraid of running away when he saw the Japanese was because they were afraid of being robbed and killed by the Japanese, but they had no corresponding or lacked defense capabilities. But as long as they joined the Maritime Special Zone, it would be different. The Ming Dynasty Royal Navy provided military escort, and even after a conflict between merchant ships and some local governments, they could intervene by force to ensure that the interests of merchants from various countries recognized by the Admiral Maritime Office were not damaged.

Tax exemption, tax reduction, land and property purchase, like the residents of the country, enjoy convenient "one-stop" trading services, protected by the Royal Navy and Army, etc.

A series of conditions were put out, and one by one, it was placed on the paper through Ruan Dacheng's pen, making Pei Guangpao stunned.

Ruan Dacheng was sad and angry: This eunuch Wei did this, so he was simply a foreign country! a traitor! He also intervened in disputes with local governments by force? This... is simply...

Ruan Dacheng was speechless.

Pei Guangpao picked up the pen and wrote two Chinese characters "Take it seriously" on the paper.

Ruan Dacheng looked at Eunuch Wei with complicated eyes. The father-in-law chuckled and went straight to the front and wrote the four words "Those who believe are invincible"!

My father-in-law's calligraphy inherits the great Dong Qichang. He wrote it in four words and his pen is full of brilliance.

Pei Guangpao also reacted quickly. This time he didn't have to pick up his pen and write, and knelt directly in front of Eunuch Wei.

The father-in-law laughed and helped him up, letting Ruan Dacheng continue writing.

There is no free lunch or free kindness in the world.

My father-in-law can make you Pei Guangpao smile and feel extremely excited, and you Pei Guangpao also have to make your father-in-law satisfied.

This is a condition.

Seeing the Chinese characters written by the other party on paper, Pei Guangpao was a little confused and hurriedly wrote that he didn't know what goods he was going to bring to the Ming Dynasty.

The answer is rice.

The word rice was written by my father-in-law himself.

Rice?

Pei Guangpao was stunned, not because he couldn't get the rice, but in Annan, rice was a very cheap goods. Anyone who traded with the Ming Dynasty in Annan either traded with gold and silver, or traded with some precious specialties with spices, but never traded with rice.

However, this admiral's in-house minister hopes that Pei Guangpao will trade the rice occupied by Annan and the Special Administrative Region, which makes Pei Guangpao really unable to get his sister.

Rice is really cheap, too cheap.

My father-in-law saw the other party's expression. He knew that he would definitely suffer a loss if he wanted the other party to trade rice. Because the production of Chameng rice in Southeast Asia is extremely high, the price of rice in Southeast Asia is extremely cheap. The sea trade focuses on making profits, and it is profitable. He traveled thousands of miles away and took the risk of sea to pull out a rice out. How much profit can he make? Therefore, no one from the sea merchants do this rice business.

However, my father-in-law knew that the current Ming Dynasty was short of gold and silver, or food!

The small glacier has just begun, and the impact of bad weather on grain production reduction is only a small area, and some have not yet caused natural disasters that will sweep China in the future.

But if you don’t prepare at this time, it will be too late to prepare in the future!

Food is not something you can buy by buying. It is just transportation, and hoarding will take up the years.

Moreover, the food required by the Ming Dynasty in the future will be astronomical figures and cannot be provided by Annan.

Therefore, to deal with future natural disasters and food shortages, we must start preparing now.

At the same time, we should vigorously purchase Annan rice, and select land to build warehouses and stockpile grains if conditions permit. We even carry out "land transfer" in the Ming Dynasty to reduce economic crops and use various means to deal with the future, so that natural disasters and man-made disasters can be eliminated and that national strength will not be consumed in civil strife.

As for whether it is too early to prepare food ten years in advance, and whether it will be wasted, my father-in-law doesn't consider it at all.

Grain is not as good as other things. Moldy grain is always better than rice bran, Guanyin soil.

Besides, grain can also be processed and reused.
