- Going south from Keelung during this month, whether taking the Taiwan Strait or the east coast of Taiwan, is not an easy task. The strong Kuroshio current and the prevailing southerly wind make it impossible for sailing ships to sail more than a hundred miles a day.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Ryukyu focuses on the galley technology tree.
I heard that a big sister like Dajun who understands people is most considerate. While inviting him to Yilan, she also arranged for a galley team to wait for Mr. Zhao at Keelung Port.
The leader of the fleet was Zheng Dao, Zheng Zou's younger brother. I heard that when the king left Ryukyu, he led the fleet to protect him.
Now, with the support of the Jiangnan Group, especially the coast guard base in Naha, the Zheng family has completely controlled the military and political power of Ryukyu, turning Shang Tsung-hyun and his like into mere decorations. The only thing they are afraid of now is the Great Lord Wen De.
Wen Dedajun is not only the religious leader of Ryukyu, but also the royal sister. She is one yuan in the dual rule system of Zhongshan Kingdom. As long as she is around, the Zheng family can't even think about changing the dynasty, or even shake the status of the Shang family, and Zhang Potian will only be a powerful minister.
The Zheng family and Lord Wen De were destined to have a conflict. However, Mei Nan seemed to be ignorant of the world, but in fact he was an extremely stable veteran. Before the Zheng family could react, she hooked up with Zhao Hao.
Although Wen Dedajun never admitted that he became Mr. Zhao's lover, the close relationship between the two was obvious to all, and they even went to heaven together.
After returning to Ryukyu, the senior ladies around her, while having tea and gossiping with the ladies, revealed intentionally or unintentionally that they heard that the prince had had negative contact with Mr. Zhao, and that he had obtained the goddess in heaven. The kind that's allowed
Mei Nan also asked the Ming Dynasty to ennoble her nephew, Shang Yong, the legitimate second son of King Shang Yuan, as the crown prince of Zhongshan Prince through Zhao Hao, and was included in the imperial ultimatum. He also sent Shang Yong to Yufeng Middle School to study, completely ending the Zheng family's desire to support the eldest son of Prince Shang Yuan.
In this confrontation, Mei Nan was good at dancing and defeated the Zheng family without even fighting. For a time, it was heard that the great king's reputation in the Ryukyu Islands was great, and he had great potential to turn the world around.
However, Mei Nan gave up when he saw the opportunity, and offered to promote Zheng Zhaozuo to the position of Prime Minister, allowing him to establish a new government and take charge of the country's affairs legitimately.
Since then, the two parties have reached a tacit understanding. The Zheng family no longer interferes with the divine power and covets the royal power. Ryukyu Shinto also supports the Zheng family in controlling the military and political power of Zhongshan Kingdom. Its system is quite similar to that of the Japanese emperor and the shogunate.
This is the limit that Mei Nan can achieve for the royal family. If it were anyone else, I don¡¯t know how many of the King of Ryukyu are dead now.
Mei Nan also consciously accepted the surveillance of the Zheng family to dispel their unnecessary speculation about his behavior.
??~~
Mr. Zhao happily got on the galley arranged by Sister Mei and sailed towards the east coast of Taiwan.
As we all know, Taiwan Island has a long and narrow terrain, with the towering Central Mountains running across the island from north to south, isolating the east and west sides.
Unlike the west coast, which is mostly plains and terraces, the east coast is all mountainous. Only the Yilan Plain in the northeast corner and the narrow Taitung Rift Valley Plain are suitable for farming.
Compared with the narrow and remote Taitung Rift Valley, Yilan, which is located in the northeast of Taiwan Island, is only 80 miles away from Keelung in a straight line and only 120 miles by sea. It also has excellent harbors and vast plains. Obviously, it will be developed earlier.
A breakwater has been built outside Wushi Bay in the northernmost part of the Yilan Plain. Countless fishing boats flying the green sun and moon flag are scattered in the offshore sea. It seems that there are as many as two to three hundred.
"There are so many fishing boats." Zhao Hao couldn't help but be surprised. How many years have immigrants settled here? Where do so many fishermen come from?
"Yilan is a good place. Not only is the land fertile, the rainfall is abundant, but there is also a super fishing ground offshore." Tang Youde explained hurriedly: "I heard from Mr. Bei that the cause of the black tide is not clear to us. Anyway, You know there are a lot of fish here, including flags, mackerel, bonito, and flying fish, and depending on the season, you can always catch them no matter what."
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded. The east coast of Taiwan has steep and deep waters, where the black current flows, and is the only way for migratory fish to pass. In short, if you set a net at your doorstep, you can catch fish from the entire North Pacific. With the current level of fishing, you can certainly catch an inexhaustible amount of fish.
"However, the hot and cold currents in the Taiwan Strait meet, and the fishery resources are equally developed. There is no need to go around here to fish, right?"
"What you are saying is that we did use a little thought. At that time, Tamsui had only been open for a year, and the number of immigrants had already exceeded 100,000, but no one wanted to settle in Yilan." Tang Youde smiled bitterly: "Those Hokkien guys are ghosts. As a ghost, if the management committee praises Yilan to the sky, they have determined that Tamsui is close to the mainland, and the land in the future will be more valuable than that in the east."
"It makes sense." Mr. Zhao smiled and nodded. In another period of time and space, Fujian immigrants also?It opens up wasteland along the Tamsui River and goes deep into the Taipei Plain. It was not until the first year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty that Western Taiwan was occupied by the first comers, and only then did the Han people enter Yilan.
¡°But after inspection by teachers from the Agricultural College, we found that the land here in Yilan is the most fertile, and it rains frequently, unlike in the west where it sometimes doesn¡¯t rain for several months, so the difficulty of reclaiming wasteland is the lowest.¡± Tang Youde added.
Zhao Hao nodded. The towering Central Mountains block the water vapor brought by the tropical monsoon, so there is an obvious dry season on the west coast of Taiwan.
Yilan is an impact plain surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea to the east. Not only is there Lanyang Creek with abundant water and numerous tributaries, but this dustpan-shaped terrain is particularly prone to orographic rain.
Even in winter, Yilan can still absorb all the rain and moisture under the blowing of the northeast monsoon, so it is called "Bamboo Wind and Orchid Rain". So looking at the Yilan Plain at this time, all you can see is dense forests. Isn't it wonderful that we can develop forestry first and then agriculture?
But the people in southern Fujian are not as obedient as the refugees in the north, and they are also a bit stubborn. They have identified Tamsui as a good place, so they gather together and join the farms along the Tamsui River. They don¡¯t care about Yilan Paradise.
"But the Young Master has given the Management Committee so much freedom and authority, why can't we, Old Tang, control them?" Tang Youde took a sip of the orange soda on board and said proudly:
"I played three cards and immediately asked them to get on the pole and come to Yilan!"
"Which three moves are they?" Zhao Hao also asked while sucking on the soda.
"One of the measures is to prepare for Japanese pirates. It is stipulated that all fishing boats must fly the offshore fishing flag uniformly issued by the Fisheries Department of the Management Committee before they can go out to sea for fishing." Tang Youde then showed off: "We will instruct the Fisheries Department to only provide fresh water Send out a hundred flags. But here in Yilan, there is no limit. Then we went back to Suzhou and shamelessly begged President Jiang to approve a cannery."
"Then you have a lot of face. The cannery is in hot demand now, and the heads of all counties have come to me." Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "It's a pity that this kind of thing is not under my control."
"Hehe, President Jiang still has to give us a little face from Old Tang." Tang Youde said with a shy smile: "I have known for a long time that the lives of the people in Jiangnan are getting better day by day, and the demand for meat will be greater and greater. . There is little populated land in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is impossible to develop animal husbandry. But there are endless fish in the sea. As long as the problem of long-term preservation is solved, there will definitely be great prospects!"
¡°So you built this cannery in Yilan?¡± Zhao Hao laughed.
"Yes, the Yilan cannery is directly operated by the management committee." Tang Baolu presented a canned fish as if it were a treasure and said: "It is built on Wushi Port. The fish is caught by boat, processed on site, and then sent to the cannery. It became this"
Zhao Hao took it and took a look, only to see that it was a slightly rough black sauce-glazed porcelain jar, which looked no different from an ordinary wine jar.
In fact, it is an ordinary wine jar, which is made everywhere along the coast of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. The biggest advantage is that it is large in quantity and cheap.
Glass is unaffordable, and clay pots are breathable. This kind of cheap porcelain, which is slightly more expensive than clay pots, has a thin glaze, but it is enough to ensure sealing, making it the most suitable can bottle.
After knocking off the mud seal on the mouth of the jar, Zhao Hao found that there was a large cork inside.
Tang Youde turned the cork carefully while saying with some distress: "Actually, if you sell it locally, you can do it without the cork. But the cannery mainly supplies products from Jiangnan, and you can only sell them at a high price if you sell them to rich people."
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded, thinking of Tang Youde's deeds of reselling sugar, and thought he had made a lot of money. Who knew that this guy gave him a nice name, made a deluxe version, and made even more money after flipping it. Several times. They rely on big dogs who are stupid and have a lot of money
"So we have to add this stopper, otherwise it will bang at sea, and the canned mud smells too strong, so we can't buy it at a high price" Tang Youde made a sound, pulled out the cork, and a strong smell of salted fish hit his nostrils.
"Only in this way can we sell it at a high price!"
"Holy shit, you're selling salt here!" Zhao Hao suddenly realized as he looked at the canned salted fish with white salt foam inside. No wonder this guy¡¯s cans are so expensive!
"In the words of the young master, this is market demand-driven. The cannery also tried braised, black bean, smoked cans at first, but the sales volume was far inferior to these." Tang Youde chuckled and said: "We have no choice but to produce according to this method."
"I think you just feel uncomfortable because you can't catch the smuggled salt." Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes at him.
???????? Can he not understand that Fatty Tang is a bit frivolous? As the Budai Salt Farm directly operated by the Management Committee came into operation, warehouses were full of salt that was drying out. However, it could not be sold to the mainland. It could only be sent as industrial salt at a low price to the chemical factory on Xishan Island.
For Fatty Tang, what¡¯s the difference between guarding a golden mountain and begging for food?
Tang Youde was anxious, he had so many clever ideas, and suddenly he thought, oh, I am not a government-run salt farm, and I cannot sell salt to the country without a salt lead. But I don¡¯t need salt to buy salty goods, right?
So he set up pickle factories in every city under his jurisdiction to produce all kinds of delicious meat and vegetable pickles.
Of course, pickles are definitely not as high-priced as the canned food that is popular in Jiangnan. Moreover, this guy named the canned fish "sea salted fish canned" because he was afraid that the people would not know that there were three ounces of salt in each can!
Can the people stop going crazy?
