Zheng Zhilong was very aware of reporting the property with tens of millions of taels, and took the initiative to pay the tax of 600,000 taels according to the maximum tax amount of Yuegang - 6% of the tax. In addition, he paid the ransom, Sibaisi, and 10,000 taels, and a total of five million taels were collected, which was considered a settlement with the crown prince.

This almost drained the cash in his hand, but it still made him much easier. At least he still had thousands of ships, including more than 300 large-sized lucky ships and more than ten Taixi gunships purchased one after another. That was the foundation of his wealth and the reason why Zhu Cilang was afraid of throwing a mouse.

Such a huge maritime force cannot force its navy to become a pirate before its construction is completed, otherwise it will be laughed at forever.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng Zhilong is indeed the number one force on the East China Sea. Even if the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards form a joint fleet, it is impossible to defeat such a powerful force. In the original historical script, Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch with the split Zheng family fleet, occupied Taiwan, and raided the Qing Dynasty for decades, which shows how strong it is.

So since Zheng Zhilong first came to see Zhu Cilang, Zhu Cilang has never really thought about taking Zheng Zhilong's life. Otherwise, the southeast coast would definitely return to the state of Jiajing, or even worse, with "Japanese riots" everywhere and he would not be able to develop and rest at all.

Now this state is the best that both parties can accept.

Zhu Cixuan got five million taels of silver, and only needed to withdraw one fifth of it to perfectly solve all the expenses of Taiwan's development. At the same time, he maintained the dignity of national laws and set an example for other powerful families: if you want to atone for your sins, you should be sincere. If you only take more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of crown prince as beggar, the crown prince will send all your clan to Liaodong as beggar.

Zheng Zhilong has been resting at ease since then and can still hold the title of right governor of the Grand Governor's Office. He became the Emperor of the East China Sea. In the future, the Ming Dynasty had a Maritime Warehouse to trade, and he also had a share of the taxes he earned. Although he could no longer enjoy the profits of the East China Sea, he was always much safer to ride a boat with the royal family.

After truly experiencing the strong wind and rain on the sea, Zheng Zhilong's attachment to land has exceeded other people's imagination. Perhaps it is precisely because of this mentality that Zheng Zhilong from another world would rather not have his son to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Compared to Zheng Zhilong's relaxed and happy life and the first army's ready-to-hand combat, the civil servants in Fujian have really become the most painful group of people.

They must be responsible for the slave transformation gradually spreading in western Fujian. They must clear the land and join the people in their respective jurisdictions without any help.

The local officials who could have watched the fire from the other side of the river soon found that they had become a rope with the officials: if they fail to complete the administrative work requirements issued by the Ministry of Personnel and cannot pass the examination of the Qingguan Department, they will be responsible for everything from local officials to officials at all levels.

In order to show the prince's serious attitude, officials, servants, servants and officials at all levels in Fujian also received a considerable amount of public food and silver subsidy to make up for their losses in the past when they did not have the state's salary.

This is simply the Ming version of Shang Yang’s trust in the Ming Dynasty!

If anyone still doesn't understand the situation, it just so happens that the number of immigrants in Taiwan is far from enough.

For the large island that can swim past, its arable land area is as high as 10,000 square kilometers after industrial development, equivalent to 15 million mu, accounting for one-quarter of the land in the island. Under the conditions of good soil and water, it can be cooked twice a year and three times a year.

Of course, this number cannot be reached now, but in terms of the population of Fujian and Zhejiang, even if everyone who is willing to go to Taiwan is pulled over, there is enough land for them to live.

Of course, the rule of the entire island must be obtained before this.

It is impossible for the Dutch to give up Taiwan in vain. Just as they drove away the Spaniards who occupied the Chicken Cage (Keelung) two years ago.

Whether in the East or the West, we all know the truth that "will not allow others to snore while lying on the side of the bed."

...

"Your Highness. I really have a word like a thorn in my throat. I won't be happy if I don't vomit." Lu Suyao finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with the crown prince.

"Tell me." Zhu Cixuan had just sat on Huang Huali's seat and had not had time to start working.

"Your Highness," said Lu Suyao, "Now the matter in the south has been decided. If Your Highness does not return to Beijing, many decisions will probably be delayed. Before the start of the school of the Xinming Xinglin University in Huangming, your Highness has been absent."

Zhu Cilang respected Xinglin in the Ming Dynasty for his outstanding contributions in hematology, surgery, bacteriology, anatomy and other fields. Yu Chang opened Xinglin University in Beijing, and cultivated junior medical scholars with the teaching method he longed for. He invited famous domestic doctors, and naturally, the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang was indispensable.

"Well, this is indeed a bit regretful." Zhu Cixuan said: "But regaining Taiwan is also a big deal. It's not OK to not keep an eye on the progress."

"Your Highness, Liaodong and Xuanda are also fighting, how can they favor one and the other?" Lu Suyao didn't know if this was considered interfering in political affairs, but she knew that if the crown prince did not return to Beijing before August, her second half of her life would probably be unsatisfactory.

"Liaodong uses fighting instead of pacification. When the population increases, it will be a natural thing to pacify Liao. If Xiao Donglou can even mess up this, he will be back as he lives." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Xuanda uses comfort instead of pacification, mainly to trade with the Mongols and expand the cavalry division. It is enough for Zhou Yuji to be in charge there."

Zhu Cilang did not trust the Mongolians outside Zhangjiakou, but they were a little far away from the Manchus and were a target for fighting for them. The trade with them not only could disrupt the Manchuria-Mongolia alliance, but also obtain the horses needed by the Ming army. Even though Zhu Cilang was not familiar with horse breeds, he knew that Mongolian horses were one of the best war horses in the cold weapon era.

However, when the crown prince talks about the trade between the two sides, Lu Suyao was even more overwhelmed.

If you only sell tea and silk to the Mongolians, of course it doesn’t matter, and it can also weaken the combat effectiveness of the Mongolians. The problem is that His Royal Highness dares to sell iron and food, aren’t you afraid of these Mongolians reselling them to Manchus?

This issue has also caused objections in the court, but the actual situation is different from the gossip.

The number of iron tools Zhu Cilang sold to the Mongolians was strictly controlled, and it was all Lu iron made into pots. Even if the Mongolians and Manchus had the ability to rebuild the iron, the iron materials they obtained could not make weapons.

As for grain, people only saw a truckload of grain bags transported to Zhangjiakou, but they did not see that what Zhou Yuji sold was cooked cooked food. Cooked food could not be stored for a long time and was sold daily for limited sales, which directly cut off the possibility of the Mongolians' re-trading trade. This was purely a means to attract Mongolian herders to live in the periphery of Zhangjiakou in their families, with the purpose of forming a bridgehead and experimental field for the Ming Dynasty to assimilate Mongolia.

Furthermore, among the huge "grain exports" volume, there are also contraindicated products such as "wine".

Brewing wine when there are still people in China starving to death is undoubtedly a very hatred thing, so as long as the year is not good, the country's ban on alcohol is a natural procedure. However, the high profits brought by wine and the Mongolians' persistent and obsessed with wine are destined to become the highlight of the Ming and Mongolian trade.

The cavalry bureaus formed by Zhou Yujixin all used the best Mongolian horses, and they relied on the spirits brewed from a large amount of grain.

"If I don't go back to Beijing, both the Donglu and the Mongolian Tatars can feel more at ease. They need time to lick the wounds, and we also need time to fill in gunpowder. It is best not to break this hard-earned peace." Zhu Cilan leaned on the back of the chair, smiling, as if chatting with an old friend.

Lu Suyao enjoyed this warm conversation time very much, but soon remembered the letter from Beijing and the words that seemed to be heard in the letter of the Queen...

"But Your Highness, what else can we do except wait here?" Lu Suyao was unwilling to give up.

Zhu Cixuan said in surprise: "Fujian is a piece of land that is apart from the north. Everyone has something to do. Are you very idle?"

Lu Suyao almost carried her back and held her dizzy and said, "What else does your Highness have to do here? I have begun to meet the local gentry in Fuzhou these two days."

"I need to think." Zhu Cixuan said: "Fujian is mountainous, and it will be impossible to speak after a mountain. I need to think about how to break this situation, at least to let them listen and speak official language."

"But Your Highness, the Imperial Hospital said that the Crown Princess will give birth in mid-August." Lu Suyao finally couldn't help but shout.

Zhu Cilang's expression was slightly frozen, and there was no explanation. He just opened his notebook and handed the expanded page to Lu Suyao, allowing her to read it by herself.

I saw a thick line drawn from a page of paper by a brush, which was divided into two sides. One side said "Back to the capital" at the top and the other side said "Southern Tour". Under the column "Back to the capital", there are two lines of characters written. The first line is "Wife has a child". The second line says "Powerless".

On the side of the southern tour, there are densely written such as: the creation of Fuzhou model city, sea trade observation, meeting with Thai envoys, promoting Mandarin, popularizing primary schools, supervising the judicial system, establishing the Fujian Navy School, infiltrating the Fujian Navy, supervising the progress of the resumption of Taiwan projects, promoting the expansion of the First Army, inspecting Guangdong...

"Your Highness is still going to Guangdong?!" Lu Suyao is afraid that she will really make a life choice: whether to be abandoned by the crown prince or killed by the queen.

Zhu Cixuan tapped the desk with his knuckles, but did not answer Lu Suyao's words, but said in a deep voice: "Do you think I am the kind of cold-blooded person who ignores family affection? That is my wife who is married to the media. She is my flesh and blood, my eldest son, or the eldest daughter. How could I have no concern in my heart? How could I watch coldly?

"But I'm not going back now. The physiological knowledge and hygiene knowledge I know have been taught to the doctor... I don't know how to have a caesarean section, nor do I do a forceps. What else can I do if I go back except stand at the door and walk?"

"But..." Lu Suyao had long been influenced by the crown prince and admired the "actual role". At this moment, she had already accepted the reasons for the crown prince in her heart, but her position forced her to refute.

How can people refute what they firmly believe in?
