It was not the first time for Ning Zijing to come to Hong Kong, and he also worked in Qiong Lianfa, so naturally no one would doubt his judgment.
Ha Jianyi smiled and asked, "Then do you think we should accept it, or decline it politely?"
"You decide for yourself, you don't have to worry about it." Ning Zijing obviously didn't want to bother with this kind of matter, so he pushed it all away with one sentence.
"In my opinion, if you send souvenirs or the like, it's okay to accept it. As for the others, forget it, so as not to cause complications. We must remember that our trip is not for sightseeing, but we have a mission, or Public affairs must be the most important thing." Tao Hongfang was prudent in the world, and immediately reminded everyone that this trip was a mission.
When he said this, it was difficult for the other three to refute.It was the first time for them to be sent by their parents to a place far away from Hainan Island. Naturally, they also wanted to complete the task beautifully. If anything went wrong on the way, it would only disappoint their parents.
Although this place is far away from Sanya, they don't think that their whereabouts outside can be hidden from their omniscient parents. No one knows if Qiong Lianfa has any eyes and ears working for Shengli Fort. , it is better to be more cautious in words and deeds.
Bai Letong immediately agreed: "Hongfang is right. I think it's better to rest early tonight to recover and set off early tomorrow morning."
Everyone had no objection, and they didn't even dare to drink too much wine at the moment. After eating, they sat for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.Ning Zijing also specially called the steward to tell him not to make other arrangements so as not to disturb everyone's rest.The manager was knowledgeable and interesting, and immediately took the order and asked his subordinates to quickly prepare hot water for these people to bathe in.
Nothing to say all night.Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast at the inn, and immediately drove to the pier by car.Although the official ship has no scheduled departure time and will definitely wait until they board the ship before setting sail, they have no intention of staying in Hong Kong anymore.
And just as Ning Zijing expected, Qiong Lianfa's steward sent gifts before they set off, and they delivered them directly to the ship.And these gifts are not expensive, they are basically some fresh melons, fruits and seafood from nearby areas.
However, giving this kind of gift is obviously easier to pass the test. If real money is sent, I'm afraid it will be blocked by these second-generation wearers who are not short of money at all.
The next stop for official ships is the port of Kaohsiung in the southern part of Taiwan Island.According to the captain, the ship will stop briefly at Kaohsiung Port to unload a batch of official letters and materials sent from Sanya to the local area.
The construction of Kaohsiung Port began at the end of 1632, and it has been more than 20 years.However, different from other colonial areas under Haihan’s rule, Haihan did not complete the development and construction of the area alone, but had the participation of Fujian Xu and many private capitals from Guangdong and Guangxi from the very beginning.
This situation also makes the construction speed of Kaohsiung Port far faster than some overseas colonial areas developed by Haihan before. In just a few years, a port city with thousands of people and various basic industries has been formed.
The alluvial plain near Kaohsiung Port has fertile soil and excellent water conservancy conditions, making it suitable for large-scale agricultural development. Therefore, agriculture has been the main direction of construction here from the very beginning.Grain crops and economic crops have gradually become the leading industries in Kaohsiung in the past few years, and have formed a large-scale development effect. It is currently the agricultural demonstration area with the largest planting area on Taiwan Island.
The Kaohsiung government also timely promoted the construction of a supporting agricultural product deep-processing industry, producing rice, noodles, oil, sugar, wine, canned food and other products.After these commodities are sold in the market, the profits they can obtain far exceed the raw materials, so they are quickly favored by various capitals, and they have invested in the construction of food processing factories in Kaohsiung.
The stable development of the industry and the increase in the income of employees have attracted more immigrants to Kaohsiung, which has driven the development of supporting industries such as the service industry, transportation industry, and construction industry, thus allowing the local economic and social development to enter a stage of development. The state of a virtuous circle.
"Kaohsiung has much more room for development than an island trading port like Hong Kong. According to the estimates of the Executive Committee, if the Kaohsiung Port and the Pingtung Plain area south of Dayuan Port are fully developed, agriculture alone will be enough. It can feed 40 to [-] people. And now the local population is only around [-], and there is still a large labor gap.”
Tao Hongfang was able to come into contact with a lot of information about Kaohsiung during his daily work in the Ministry of Commerce. On the way, he also briefly introduced the local situation to several other people.
Ning Zijing said: "As far as I know, there are many dignitaries from Ming Dynasty who chose to invest in Kaohsiung to buy land and manage plantations in the past few years."
Tao Hongfang nodded and said, "The situation you mentioned is indeed quite a lot, especially those upper-level people who are married to Chinese officials, and almost all of them have purchased real estate in Kaohsiung."
Tao Hongfang did not specify the identities of these people, but the few people present here have access to inside information, so they naturally know who he is talking about.
The Ma family in Shandong, the Qu family in Zhejiang, the Xu family in Fujian, the Li family in Guangdong... the first to spend a lot of money in the Kaohsiung area to buy property and land are basically these related households who can get inside information.
These families have deep interests with Haihan. They are the first group of upper-class forces in Ming Dynasty to join Haihan, and they have also received a lot of dividends in the process of Haihan's rapid expansion.
Especially in the new colonial areas like Kaohsiung, these private capitals seized the blank period at the beginning, spent a lot of money to participate in the development, and obtained the management rights of large tracts of land at a very low cost. It is impossible.
Bai Letong added: "I have also read some promotional materials of the year. In order to attract investment and immigration, the local government in Kaohsiung really put in a lot of effort and offered many preferential policies, such as plantation tax relief and immigration settlement. Dividing land and the like. At that time, there were many disasters and man-made disasters, so many people were transported overseas by our country to settle down in various ways, and Kaohsiung was one of the main destinations."
Tao Hongfang said: "The entire island of Taiwan received at least 20 immigrant population at that time. Even Miaoli, which only had a permanent population of more than 1000 at the beginning, was later upgraded to a county government due to population growth."
Among these people, only Ha Jianyi was born in an overseas colonial area, and was sent to Sanya by his family from Manila to study and live when he was a teenager. Therefore, he knows little about this period of Taiwan Island's history, and he is still interested in hearing it now.
