On this day, the logistics fleet led by Han Tuozhou arrived in Penghu. As soon as he got off the ship, Han Tuozhou heard the good news from Taiwan and learned that it had successfully landed two days ago. Han Tuozhou was in a good mood, and Mao Geng felt sincerely happy.

Then Han Tuozhou and Mao Geng were invited into the central army tent set up by Zhao Yan in Penghu. After Jiang Bokui introduced the situation in Taiwan one by one, Mao Geng was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the Song army in front of him established an understanding of demolition compensation with the indigenous people so quickly.

Speaking of which, He Dalai had a peaceful consultation with the indigenous representatives that day. The crux of the negotiation was the issue of compensation standards. After the mediation of the indigenous old man, most of the indigenous people accepted the compensation standards issued by the Song Dynasty. In fact, the compensation standards of the Song Dynasty were still improved. Based on the original compensation standards of He Dalai, the biscuits doubled and the cloak was increased to one house to compensate one piece, but the large items did not change, and three houses would compensate one tent.

The current situation is that only one group of indigenous people does not accept this condition, and the other indigenous people have received compensation and no longer confronted the Song army. These indigenous people are still in a state of slash-and-burn farming, and there is no fixed field, and the land for survival is vast and endless. Since the indigenous people cannot defeat the Song army, the so-called step back and the vast sky is wide, so most of them decide to stop resisting and get compensation first. In this way, the Song army can advance cautiously in most directions. When encountering indigenous houses, whether good or bad, they will be compensated according to this standard.

However, a group of natives were unwilling to give up. They even spoke out loud and proposed a compensation claim for a dilapidated shed to compensate for the two tents, and there was no other reason, so the two sides were still in a stalemate. In this direction of this group of natives, both sides were maintaining a calm confrontation. Although the war was temporarily truant, the confrontation was still very strong.

Regarding the unreasonable demands of this group of indigenous people, Li Tongzuo believed that it could not be too accommodating to the indigenous people, otherwise it would make the indigenous people's appetite bigger and bigger. The demands put forward by these indigenous people were too outrageous and they could not be accommodated in any case. Zhao Han also felt that Li Tongzuo's considerations were reasonable. Who knew how many indigenous people in Taiwan had too high compensation standards, and if the compensation standards were too high, the money would not be enough to spend. The court's budget for occupying Taiwan and building Taiwan was one million guan, and so far it had spent about 400,000 guan. If the standard for compensation for demolition was too high, it would be a big overspending.

No one knows how many of the indigenous people's sheds that are not called houses. It would be fine if there were 1,200,000 rooms. If there were 100,000,800 rooms, all the money would be spent on the demolition compensation, which was far from enough!

Zhao Han was very energetic and would not apply to the court for an increase in budget unless it was absolutely necessary.

The idea of ​​"demolition compensation" was proposed by Mao Geng at that time. Zhao Han immediately thought of Mao Geng. I wonder if Mao Geng had a better way to solve this problem. As for the solution that Zhao Han could think of, it was actually proposed by Li Tongzuo, which was to use tough measures against this group of natives - not convinced? He was beaten until he was convinced! He even did not hesitate to kill. The so-called "If you don't use thunderbolt methods, it is difficult to show the heart of the Bodhisattva, which is this.

Mao Geng thought that this was just a matter of demolition and encountering nail households. Such destruction in later generations was simply commonplace. The asking price of this group of nail households was indeed too outrageous. It would cost about 17 or 18 chunks of money. If all of them were based on this price, the cost was indeed a little too high. Mao Geng felt that the practice of "changing face with face" in later generations of demolition compensation is worth referring to, and the amount of area is compensated as much as the demolition area. According to this principle, compensation for one tent is appropriate, and the standard for compensation for one tent is obviously low for the three tents being implemented. However, the senior officials of the Song Dynasty, including Zhao Yan, would not agree with "changing face with face" because the indigenous rags were almost worthless to the Song Dynasty.

Mao Geng felt that what he should say should be said. After sorting out his ideas, Mao Geng expressed several views with the people present:

First, these indigenous people are indigenous people here. Mao Geng suggested that they should be called indigenous people in the future. The Song Dynasty not only occupied the indigenous people's sheds, but also occupied the land they had previously relied on for survival. Therefore, it cannot be simply valued by the value of the sheds, and it is natural to give the indigenous people more compensation.

Second, for the indigenous people, they should not use force unless they have no choice, especially to kill, as it would seriously violate the principle of "suppressing the people and punishing crimes" by the benevolent and righteous army of the Song Dynasty. Regarding this point, Mao Geng used the Confucian benevolent and righteous rhetoric, and in the bones it was the humanitarian thinking of later generations.

The third and most critical point is to develop Taiwan as soon as possible, and rely on the indigenous people, because in the foreseeable future, there will definitely not be too many people willing to immigrate to Taiwan. The Song Dynasty needed these indigenous people to farm and work in workshops to develop Taiwan as quickly as possible. Otherwise, even if Taiwan is occupied, if the indigenous people cannot be mobilized to participate in Taiwan's development, Taiwan will become a burden to the court.

Fourthly, if the original compensation standard is too low, compensation should be carried out according to the standard of "face-for-face", which can win the hearts of the indigenous people for the Song Dynasty. Of course, the requirements of the nail households cannot be easily met. For this reason, Mao Geng volunteered to join the negotiations with the indigenous nail households.

Fifth, don’t worry about money. As long as the indigenous people join the ranks of the Song Dynasty to develop Taiwan, they can help the Song Dynasty make money. Regarding the issue of money, Mao Geng also understood Zhao Han’s position and immediately proposed that in the future, the money for purchasing iron wire from Xinhua can be paid at a slow pace.

After Mao Geng said this, although everyone was reluctant to raise the compensation standard, Mao Geng expressed his sufficient intentions on one hand, and won the hearts of the indigenous people, they all wanted to do so. Most importantly, everyone present knew that it was not easy to immigrate to Taiwan, which is still a wild place. In comparison, the cost of recruiting an immigrant is definitely much more expensive than allowing an indigenous person to participate in the development.

In this case, it was not difficult for Zhao Han to make a choice. Mao Geng's proposal was supported by Zhao Han. Zhao Han immediately authorized Mao Geng to be fully responsible for demolition compensation in accordance with the compensation standard of "face-for-face".

Mao Geng immediately took on a hot potato, especially when he could not communicate normally, he had to bargain with the barbaric indigenous nail households. People were afraid of avoiding such things, but he had to face the difficulties. Mao Geng thought about several tricks to deal with nail households in the future, and couldn't help but shake his head. Although there were many tricks to deal with nail households in the future, it seemed that they were not very useful to these barbarians.

Before going to Taiwan, Mao Geng first went to Huang Wangcai, and Mao Geng needed to grasp the production situation of Penghu as a temporary base.

Huang Wangcai came to Penghu more than ten days ago and sent him to the church to burn bricks and paste bamboo fiber cement tiles that were rushing here in advance. According to the plan, after landing in Taiwan successfully, a simple port must be built as soon as possible, and a simple military camp must be built. At least twenty days before landing successfully, fire bricks and paste cement tiles can only be carried out in Penghu for the time being.

Huang Wangcai's work in Penghu is commendable. After teaching the craftsmen in the Xiang army to draw sections of iron wire, they then taught them how to build bunker brick kilns. Iron wire is a must-have item for building bunker brick kilns. In fact, with iron wire, the bunker kilns do not have much technical content. The craftsmen of the Xiang army quickly mastered the technology of firing tiles and are now working at full capacity to produce tiles. Everyone here in Penghu understands that Taiwan needs countless tiles. In order to cooperate with Penghu to burn tiles, a large amount of coal was transported from Fujian. Since then, before Taiwan has dug out coal, Fujian will continue to supply coal to Taiwan. For this reason, the owner of the coal kiln in Fujian has been very happy recently.

Mao Geng believes that the first shot to start in developing Taiwan is infrastructure, which was the case when the Shenzhen Special Zone was built in later generations. In this era, the same is true for building a Taiwan that is still a piece of paper.

Cement transported from Xinhua has been continuously transported to Penghu. Although in Mao Geng's view, the cement production is not high and even fewer transported to Penghu, it can be dealt with at least for a while. The output of firing bricks and pasted cement tiles still needs to be increased. In Mao Geng's mind, he vaguely felt that in order to make good demolition compensation, the demolition compensation for the indigenous people must achieve a real "face-for-face". It is best to provide bricks and tile houses for the indigenous people. The cost may not be higher than the current compensation method, but Mao Geng has not yet figured out what to do.
