Li Miao listened carefully to Lu Dazhi's work report on the Taichung area. Lu Dazhi is indeed ambitious! He actually quickly started talking freely about the situation on the entire island of Taiwan.
Lu Dazhi also pointed out the shortcomings of Taiwan Island. There is a faint flavor of pointing out the country.
Li Miao gave Lu Dazhi full recognition. In response to the questions raised by Lu Dazhi, Li Miao also answered them one by one. Most of Lu Dazhi's questions are still a little ahead of their time.
Li Miao didn't think about it carefully. For example, Lu Dazhi raised the question of whether Taiwan will collect taxes in the future. How to collect it? This is of course aimed at ordinary people.
There will definitely be some transit ships on Taiwan Island as well. Is it allowed to dock? If it is allowed to dock, is it allowed to trade? If a transaction occurs, how will taxes be collected?
Li Miao really hasn't considered these issues. Regarding the tax issues of ordinary people, Li Miao gave a clear answer. If we don’t accept it for the time being, there is really no need to do anything unnecessary.
The wool comes from the sheep, isn't it a disguised form of collecting Li Miao's own taxes? Obviously, the left hand is handed over to the right hand. This will also waste a lot of manpower and material resources.
For passing ships, it is actually easy to handle. Just follow the practice of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Regardless of the corruption of officials in the Zheng Dynasty, many of its systems were actually very good and quite sound.
It’s just that many good systems in the Zheng Dynasty were not implemented. Lu Dazhi was not very satisfied with Li Miao's answer. Although it was not obvious on his face, Li Miao still saw some clues.
It seems that Wang Yonggui's evaluation of him is quite good. Lu Dazhi probably hopes that Taiwan Island can appear in the form of a country. In this way, the status of Taiwan Island can be raised to a higher level.
Obviously, there are certainly many people in Taiwan who think this way. After all, they have no say in this issue. Li Miao will not consider these issues for the time being.
Even if Li Miao was asked to think carefully, he probably wouldn't do it. After all, Li Miao is a nationalist and does not want to sow hidden dangers for his future destination on the island of Taiwan.
Li Miao did not throw cold water on Lu Dazhi, but only told Lu Dazhi vaguely. Taiwan is indeed important. But it is not important enough to go beyond the Zheng Dynasty.
As for whether Lu Dazhi can understand it, Li Miao can only stop there.
Tian Yong was a well-known representative figure in Tainan at that time. Li Jiu also chose Tian Yong for the sake of stability in Tainan. Tian Yong is still the person in charge of the Tainan region.
However, most of Tian Yong’s team are new immigrants. I also vaguely feel that I have lost my due role. Facing the fate of being replaced. Killing the donkey is actually quite normal.
So Tian Yong learned that Li Miao had come to Taiwan Island, and asked him to come to meet him. Tian Yong felt that this was not necessary at all.
It was only after Tian Yong became a senior executive in Taiwan that he realized that Li Miao was their big boss.
And this time, the island of Taiwan will immigrate more than one million people. The Tainan area is expected to resettle 350,000 new immigrants. Nearly 200,000 immigrants have already been settled.
Tian Yong serves as the person in charge of the Tainan region. How could we not know the quality of this batch of immigrants? There is no trace of a disaster victim. All of them have ruddy faces and are well-trained people.
The quality is no worse than that of people in Tainan. As for the people of Tainan, Tian Yong knows how much manpower and material resources have been invested in the past six months.
How much money does it cost to train these disaster victims like this! Tian Yong had a new understanding of Li Miao's power. Tian Yong personally welcomes the intervention of Li Miao's forces on Taiwan Island.
It turns out that the people of Taiwan are living a hard life! The people of Taiwan now live a life that was unimaginable before. There is no comparison at all with the Dutch rule. We really regard the people of Taiwan as our own.
When Tian Yong met Li Miao, he especially saw that Li Miao was still so young. Tian Yong was also stunned for a moment. Then he regained his composure. It seems like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Tian Yong was thinking about more than just masturbating. Now that he has so many secrets, can Li Miao let him go? Put yourself in someone else's shoes, definitely not.
Therefore, Tian Yong believes that his best outcome is probably to be imprisoned for life. If begging for mercy is useful, Tian Yong is willing to compromise.
The key is that Tian Yong knows. His own destiny is already in Li Miao's hands. It's all in Li Miao's mind, so he might as well be more fearless. Besides, I still have a family in Tainan, so how can I resist?
Tian Yong came to Li Miao's study. After the salute, he sat down opposite Li Miao's desk without waiting for Li Miao to see where he was sitting. There is a chair in there, isn't it just made for you?
Li Miao was also stunned and quickly understood. Li Miao stood up immediately.
"I was originally from a peasant family. My grandfather and father died young. It was my grandmother and mother who raised me. I took part in the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and I passed the second grade and ninth place in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen."
"There are millions of people making a living under me now. And so many people need to be managed, so my power is based on merit."
"The capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. This may be the main reason why my power continues to grow." After speaking, Li Miao looked at Tian Yong.
Li Miao himself has no intention of replacing Tian Yong. Although Tian Yong was initially appointed, there were certain historical reasons. Although the overall situation of Taiwan Island has been decided, Li Miao still will not take the trouble to kill the donkey.
Li Miao has a long-term vision, but where is he now? How could Li Miao ruin her reputation because of Tian Yong? Besides, Tian Yong himself is also very capable.
Through Li Miao's observation, Tian Yong, the person in charge of the Tainan area, is still competent. But Tian Yong thought that Li Miao was going to kill the donkey.
Li Miao said so many reasons. It's nothing more than telling Tian Yong the principles of his power's employment mechanism.
Wang Yonggui's evaluation of Tian Yong was, "It is indispensable to adapt to the wind. It is necessary!" If Tian Yong still cannot understand what Li Miao means, it means that Wang Yonggui has also misjudged it.
Tian Yong suddenly understood something. Quickly stand up and bow to the end. It took him a while to stand up straight. As a high-level executive on Taiwan Island, Tian Yong's knowledge of Li Miao and Li Miao's power was all hearsay.
Tian Yong basically learned a little about Li Miao's power from Li Jiu. Li Jiu's own understanding of Li Miao cannot be too comprehensive. In addition, I will definitely have reservations about Tian Yong.
Tian Yong realized at this time that what Li Jiu said might be true and was not an exaggeration at all. Then I really still have a chance.
So Tian Yong stood up straight. Start reporting on the situation in Tainan. Tian Yong always stood respectfully.
"Big Boss, I think our guard lineup in Tainan is too strong. Moreover, they are all full-time guards, which is completely unnecessary."
Tian Yong glanced at Li Miao and saw that Li Miao was listening carefully. He didn't mean to interrupt him.
"For a fleet like the Netherlands, even if several ships come at the same time, even if they have muskets, one-tenth of our guard strength is enough to cope with it." Tian Yong felt that Li Miao somewhat recognized his idea.
Tian Yong began to talk, "There are many benefits to doing this. It can save a lot of manpower and financial resources. You can also use the remaining manpower for the construction of Taiwan Island."
"Taiwan Island is now full of waste. Whether it is industrial and mining enterprises, water conservancy facilities, road construction, or housing construction, a large number of manpower is needed."
Seeing that Li Miao was deep in thought, Tian Yong stopped talking. Li Miao listened thoughtfully to Tian Yong's explanation. Not that everything Tian Yong said made sense.
But Tian Yong's words opened a window for Li Miao. Li Miao and other senior officials of Taiwan Island may have fallen into a dark situation.
Yes, even if it is dark under the lamp, it can also be said that the thinking is solidified. Li Miao's other forces also followed the same pattern. Train professional guards for the farms under their control.
Of course the more the better. These are all combat powers. Whether you are in the Southern and Northern Bureaus of the Great Zheng Dynasty, or the Liaodong Bureau. All require a large number of guards to participate in the battle.
In addition, it is also necessary to transport guards and sailors to large and small ships. The escorts of Shunfeng Transport Escort also need transportation. Therefore, all young men in the farm will be taught Jeet Kune Do and become guards of the farm.
Most of them will become full-time guards. That is, out-of-service escort. Excellent farm guards are then screened and selected for other positions. Today's Taiwan Island still adopts the same model.
Today's Taiwan Island has a population of 2 million, so there are almost 400,000 young adults. The number of people who will become full-time guards will reach more than 200,000.
This number also frightened Li Miao. It's not that Li Miao can't afford it. Other local bureaus can afford it, and Taiwan Island will not have any problems.
The key is as Tian Yong said. The island of Taiwan really doesn't need so many full-time guards. The main mission of Taiwan Island is not war. But to develop the economy.
Currently, 10,000 elite guards are enough to defend against Western powers. In addition to the guards who maintain local order, the number of full-time guards should not exceed 20,000.
There are large and small sea ships stationed on Taiwan Island all year round. There is also a constant flow of sea-going fleets in the surrounding area. If the Western powers came with a few ships, they wouldn't be enough to fill the Li family's fleet.
There was no chance at all, so the full-time guards from Taiwan Island took action. Of course, Li Miao will not relax in cultivating the defense force of Taiwan Island. It's just that there is no need for so many full-time security forces.
All the original guard forces will be retained as the second echelon of guards. The second echelon of guards spends two days a week training. Participate in labor the rest of the time. Their monthly rates were halved.
It's not that Li Miao feels sorry for the money, the key is to show class. Reflect the level of a full-time guard. The second echelon of guards will also be paid for working five days a week.
The income gap between them and the first-tier guards is not too huge. In addition, examinations are held every six months, and the fittest will survive. Maintain the absolute combat effectiveness of the first echelon of guards.
At the same time, there is a promotion path for the outstanding guards in the second echelon. Competition between Li Miao's forces is everywhere.
The benefits of doing this are naturally many. It can not only add about 200,000 young and strong labor force to Taiwan Island. Speed up the construction of Taiwan Island.
Not only save money, but also create more wealth. At the same time, it also improved the competitiveness of Taiwan island guards. It was simply an act of kindness that served multiple purposes.
Li Miao was naturally happy. He casually took out the silver needle and healed Tian Yong's old injuries for many years.
