Due to their itinerary, they had no time to stop at Dayuan Port to see the real situation there.However, Tao Hongfang, who works in the Ministry of Commerce, does know some information about this place.
"The Dutch have always wanted to run a decent colony on the island of Taiwan, but after our country captured Tainan and Taipei, it prohibited Dayuan Hong Kong from obtaining immigrants from Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Dutch want to move here. The difficulty and cost of development have greatly increased. In addition, the north, south and west of Dayuan Port are all areas controlled by our country, and if you want to operate cross-border trade, you have to look at the face of our country, so it is naturally difficult for this place to develop. "
Tao Hongfang shared the information he had with his companions without hesitation, and at the same time he did not forget to belittle this competitor: "The Dutch East India Company fought against my country in the early years, and learned to behave after a few defeats. Knowing that this place is suppressed by our country, I dare not make any complaints."
"The Dutch are quite pragmatic. They value commercial interests over the development of the colonies. They are different from the Spaniards and Portuguese in this respect." affairs, so they are no strangers to the situation in these western countries.
The Dutch are actually the country with the strongest commercial atmosphere among the European colonial countries, and before the signing of the Westphalian Treaty in 1648, the Netherlands was only an area under Spanish rule in name, and its status was the same as that of Portugal.This led to the fact that the Dutch were not as obsessed with establishing overseas domination areas as Spain was during the global sea power struggle during this period, but instead devoted more energy to the operation of commercial routes, which is why the nickname of the sea coachman come.
For Haihan, although the colonists from Europe are all competitors, the Netherlands and Portugal are relatively easy to deal with.Haihan's strategy is to concentrate firepower to beat the biggest thorn in Spain back again and again, almost completely fading out of East Asia, and this strategy has indeed played a warning effect. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with Haihan, the Netherlands and Portugal Since then, these years have been regarded as their duties, and they dare not be enemies with Hai Han again.
In all fairness, without the rise of Haihan, the colonial port built by the Netherlands on the west coast of Taiwan Island would definitely develop better than it does now.But now this place is surrounded by Haihan from three directions: Taichung, Kaohsiung, and Penghu. No matter whether the Dutch want to engage in colonial construction or transnational trade, it is difficult to break through the barriers set up by Haihan intentionally or unintentionally.Now the Dutch have resigned themselves to their fate, and simply regard this place as a supply port, so as to ensure that the commercial routes leading to the northern seas will not be cut off suddenly.
Of course, if the Dutch can't think about it, or are too drunk, and want to challenge Haihan's authority in this area, the Haihan naval fleet stationed in Magong Port, Penghu will dispatch as quickly as possible. Dayuan Harbor was leveled inside.
With the continuous import of immigrants to Taiwan over the years, many county-level units have been established in the west coast of Taiwan Island, and large-scale population settlements have been formed in Chiayi, Yunlin, Changhua, Miaoli, Taoyuan and other places. The population of Haihan nationality is close to 20.Except for Miaoli County and Keelung Port in Taipei, which have mineral deposits, most of the other places, like Kaohsiung, are mainly engaged in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery and other industries.
Moreover, because the island's social environment and population structure are relatively stable, the output of these areas is also relatively secure, so it has become a very important agricultural production area under Haihan's rule.Although the mainland area ruled by the original Ming Dynasty is vast, it is in the transition stage of the old and new ruling systems. There are many uncertainties in various places, and the output is not as stable as Taiwan.
When droughts and locust plagues occurred in the north in recent years, a considerable part of the supplies and food used for disaster relief and relief were exported from Taiwan.When the Executive Committee first developed Taiwan, it was more focused on the importance of the island's geographical location. It did not expect that 20 years later it would become an important agricultural area to maintain the stability of the empire.
Most of these young people's understanding of the situation of Taiwan Island in the past came from paper materials, but this temporary visit to Kaohsiung made them feel the level of agricultural development in this area.Although it seems that it is not as good as the large state-owned farms in Hainan Island in the use of mechanical farming, it is basically at the first-class level in the deep processing of agricultural products.
The areas of Guangdong, Fujian, and southern Zhejiang that are adjacent to Taiwan Island are mainly mountainous areas, with relatively small arable land and relatively backward agricultural standards. The agricultural products produced by Taiwan Island currently have relatively obvious advantages in terms of quality and cost. Advantages, so there is basically no need to worry about sales, and sales can be organized to these places nearby.
"Will Fujian also buy agricultural products from Taiwan?" Ha Jianyi couldn't help interjecting when he heard that Fujian was mentioned in their discussion: "As far as I know, Fujian is still ruled by the Xu family. Strategic materials, I am afraid they will not easily hand over control to the executive committee."
Tao Hongfang said: "The situation in Fujian is a bit special. At this stage, it can be said that it is a country within a country. However, when the Executive Committee agreed to allow the Xu family to continue to take charge of local military and political affairs in Fujian, there were many conditions. Apart from the military The establishment and establishment of government offices at all levels should be changed according to the unified standards of the country. In addition, financial and commercial aspects should be completely liberalized, and no threshold should be set for materials and funds entering and leaving Fujian. Therefore, as long as Taiwan’s agricultural products have a competitive advantage, entering There will be no problems in the Fujian market."
Ning Zijing also responded: "Brother Ha, don't overestimate the integrity of the merchants. As long as there is enough profit, they won't care where these things are produced. Even if we don't take the initiative to sell them, the merchants will find them by themselves." Came to buy goods."
Bai Letong said: "From the perspective of propaganda, these compradors are also the group of people that we can most easily win over. They only value immediate interests, and don't care too much about who is the ruler of the country. When Daming was infiltrating, it was these businessmen who did cross-border business. Before Xu Xinsu made his fortune, he was also a big businessman and had many business contacts with our country, so the threshold that Brother Ha was worried about did not exist."
Ha Jianyi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
Tao Hongfang said: "Besides, when we were inspecting in Kaohsiung a few days ago, Uncle Li also mentioned to us that the Xu family also has a lot of land in Taiwan Island. This means that you have me in you, and you in me. Together, it is not so easy to draw the line."
