Chapter 1387 Badouzi Covenant

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Future generations of researchers and literature and history enthusiasts can still see this "Badouzi Covenant" in the Taiwan Provincial Museum.  It stipulates:

    All the properties of various societies stolen by the Japanese pirates will be returned.

    In the future, the Jiangnan Group of the Chinese Empire will protect the Pingpu people from Japanese pirates and pirates.  Accordingly, they must also cooperate with the Jiangnan Group to protect themselves from the invasion of the Gaoshan Tribe.

    The land within the territory of each community will be purchased by Jiangnan Group on the basis of one piece of cotton gauze per acre.

    Although many later researchers have argued based on this, Zhao Hao is indeed an evil capitalist and cannot truly care about the workers and peasants.

    They denounced in books and papers that during the Long Dynasty of the old Ming Dynasty, a piece of cotton gauze was only worth two hundred cents!  Gentlemen, the evil Mr. Zhao actually purchased an acre of fertile land from the indigenous people for the price of two coins!

    This exposes the ignorance of some so-called historians - in fact, Mr. Zhao used cotton gauze produced by Jiangnan Textile. After using the new loom, the internal purchase price of a piece of cloth was only one hundred yuan.  ¡­

    But no matter how future generations comment, for a long historical period, the aborigines felt that they had taken a huge advantage.  Because before large-scale development, it would be an exaggeration to say that land in Taiwan was worthless.  But it is true that no one would spend a penny to buy an acre of land on the island of Taiwan, which is separated by natural barriers and has a harsh environment.  It's completely useless!

    There is a very clear example. According to East India Company documents, in another time and space, the Dutch used fifteen pieces of cotton gauze to exchange for a full 600 acres of land from the aborigines!  This was regarded by the Dutch as a model of fair trade to prove that they were more civilized than the Spanish invaders.

    And after selling their land to Jiangnan Group, the aborigines can enjoy the same land policies as ordinary immigrants - they can apply to the city hall for permanent land use rights of ten acres per ding.

    So for the aborigines, the land is still their own. They can plant it as they please without any loss. Instead, they get dozens or dozens of pieces of cloth in vain. Do they all feel that they have made a lot of money?

    It was not until hundreds of years later that aboriginal researchers pointed out that the Jiangnan Group was insidious and cunning, and used a little profit to coax their simple ancestors.  Let them unknowingly transfer ownership of land, mines, and rivers in Taiwan.

    Isn¡¯t this just bullying an honest person?

    But no matter how future generations view this agreement, the "Badouzi Covenant" actually helped the Jiangnan Group win the hearts and minds of the Pingpu people, making their entry into Taiwan very smooth, with the least friction and the most comfortable state.  The transition from outsiders to local leaders.  Soon, the Pingpu people merged into the Han family and ceased to exist

    When historians later reviewed the accounts of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, people were surprised to find that the Jiangnan Group completed the redemption of the entire Taiwan at a total cost of less than 500,000 taels of silver.

    At that time, Taiwan¡¯s cultivated land area was 13 million acres.  There are also coal mines with an annual output of one million tons, gold mines with an annual output of 80,000 taels of gold, copper mines with an annual output of one million jins of copper, the world's largest salt field, and countless sulfur, camphor, silver, limestone

    Mr. Zhao¡¯s operation is not a loss, right?

    ??~~

    After the alliance meeting, Tang Youde, on behalf of the Jiangnan Group, hosted a banquet with the heads of various ministries and hired them as future joint defense cadres of Keelung City, Yilan City, and Tamsui City.

    This cadre does not work for nothing. Every month he is given fifty kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of noodles, one piece of cloth, one kilogram of salt, and one jar of oil. At the end of the year, he can also receive varying amounts according to the security situation of the year.  Generous bonuses.

    The simple leaders immediately became energetic, and now they are the richest man in the whole society without doing anything!  Naturally, each one of them was very concerned about the joint defense work, and immediately got into the mood, asking them seriously what they needed to do.

    Tang Youde said that he had long heard that the wildflowers on the mountain like to grow grass.  Whether he is happy or angry, has a grudge or not, or during festivals and sacrifices, he likes to go down the mountain to hunt for heads.  We have two lives, and our manpower is limited, so we have to rely on you to protect us.

    There is an irreconcilable conflict between the Pingpu people and the Gaoshan people The latter rely on hunting for a living and have unstable food sources. They often go down the mountains to rob the Pingpu people. The Ketagalan and Kamalan people have long hated them.  .  So the two sides hit it off and decided to join forces to deal with the common enemy.

    In addition, Tang Youde also adhered to the MLM method that Mr. Zhao was good at, offering heavy rewards to encourage the leaders to recruit new village communities, etc In short, the leaders saw the great money prospects of cooperation with Jiangnan Group and clarified the direction of their efforts.

    So this is a successful conference, a victorious conference!

    ??~~

    On the other side, Menan led the witches to hold a ceremony on the Badouzi Peninsula.sp; Hearing this affectionate confession, Lin Feng was stunned.  What else could she say?  I could only hold back all the words silently and say: "I know, go to sleep."

    As she said this, she blew out the oil lamp.

    The two of them just lay side by side without talking, listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves outside, and it really felt like "Don't be sad and resentful, silence is better than sound at this time."

    It would be even better if there was no crunching sound from the upper level

    At dawn, Mei Nan woke up and saw that Lin Feng was empty.  There was also a piece of paper placed on top of the neatly folded quilt.

    Mei Nan picked it up and saw three crooked words on it.

    'I am leaving.  ¡¯

    The font is ugly and cute, exactly the same as the six characters on the stone wall in Sankuli

    Mei Nan sat up hugging the quilt, holding the piece of paper in a daze, her black hair hanging down like a waterfall, just like the loss in her heart at this moment.

    She left after all and did not change her mind because of her words.

    After feeling disappointed for a long time, Mei Nan suddenly smiled and put a light lip print on the piece of paper.  Then he whispered softly:

    "The famous pirate Lin Feng, we will meet again" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
