Sun Chengzong said seriously: "According to the agreement we signed, we did not prohibit your warships from appearing in the Penghu waters, but we can also sink your warships.
This does not violate the agreement, so now we have captured your people , Then we will deal with it according to our rules.
We will let them build castles and reclaim wasteland for two years, and let them go back after two years."
Natz knew that there was nothing he could do at this time and could only place his hope on the Governor, so he left and went back to reorganize the merchant ship, preparing to sail to Batavia to seek help from the Governor.
There were more than 900 Dutch people who surrendered and were fished out of the sea.
Zheng Zha took them to Xiamen to rest for three days.
At this time, more than 6,000 Minzhuang people gathered from various places along the coast of Fujian also gathered in Xiamen.
Sun Chengshou said to Zheng Zha: "I have received permission from the emperor to keep you in Fujian for one year.
Tomorrow you will take four thousand people to Xiaoliuqiu and build a city in Tamsui and Jilong."
Then he said to Chen Shiying: "Chen Qianhu can land at Danyuan in the south of Xiaoliuqiu and build a castle here.
You can take the Dutch with you and let them do hard work.
There are about three thousand people in total and you can only build a castle."
City, it should be faster.”
He also called Wang Mengxiong and said: "Go and take over the Magong Bay occupied by the Dutch, repair the castles there, and then build castles on Fengguiwei, Jin, Shili, Baisha, Basha and other small islands.
Send people to guard, don't let others come in without us noticing again."
Everyone obeyed the order, and Sun Chengzong discussed with Nan Juyi to recruit landless farmers from all over Fujian.
Of course, this matter cannot be done by the governor, so Sun Chengzong, in the name of imperial envoy, gathered Fujian county magistrates and officials above in Fuzhou to prepare for a mobilization meeting for the great immigration mentioned by the emperor.
Five days later, the imperial envoy arrived in Fuzhou.
The governor's office was already filled with officials from all over the country.
When they saw Sun Chengzong coming in, they immediately knelt on the ground.
After Sun Chengzong said the holy greetings, everyone passed by and sat down together.
Sun Chengzong said: "I am here today under the emperor's order to supervise the tax payment situation in various places.
Fujian still owes 30% of the tax last year, and some counties only received 30%.
The emperor ordered me to find out what is the reason."
All the officials were too frightened to speak, especially the county magistrate who owed more agricultural taxes.
His face turned red and he felt uneasy.
Sun Chengzong glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "Hui'an County Magistrate, please tell me why your county can only pay 30% of the tax."
A fat official in his forties immediately jumped down from his seat, knelt in front of Sun Chengzong and said: "Mr.
Ge, this county has many mountains and few fields, and a large population.
Last year's harvest was not good, and it was difficult for the people to have enough to eat.
I don’t dare to accept my humble position, for fear of causing unbearable things, please ask the elder to punish me.”
Sun Chengzong asked with a solemn face: "County Magistrate Li, your county not only owed taxes last year, I checked yesterday and found that you owe taxes every year, but it was more last year."
Magistrate Li replied: "There are many people in this county but little land.
It is already difficult to feed the county's population.
Therefore, taxes are often not collected.
This is because I have neglected my duty."
Sun Chengzong nodded, but ignored him, letting him kneel on the ground, and called Fuqing, Futian and several other counties that owed more taxes.
The answers were the same.
There were more people and less land.
Unless he went to sea, the income would be very small.
With so little, I can only barely support myself.
Sun Chengzong looked at the group of county magistrates kneeling in front, sighed and said, "Get up."
After everyone stood up and returned to their seats, Sun Chengzong said: "The emperor also knows that Fujian has many mountains, few fields, and a large population, so he thought of a way.
If any prefecture or county causes hardship to the people due to too much population, then Find a new place for these people to live."
"The emperor sent people to investigate the situation in Xiaoliuqiu and found that it has beautiful water and fertile fields, and a large area of unexplored wilderness.

So now he has sent people to build a walled city on it, which can absorb a large number of landless farmers from Fujian."
"Each household in Xiaoliuqiu will be allocated one hundred acres of land, and will be exempted from taxes for five years.
The court will also distribute cattle seeds and agricultural tools, which will be repaid in stages after two years.
How many households in your county go to Xiaoliuqiu?
If you open up wasteland, then your tax arrears will be reduced by one and a half times, do you understand?"
The officials were overjoyed after hearing this.
Such a good thing is not easy to come across.
Some of the more ruthless people thought that as long as they sent away more than 30% of the people under their control, their 50% tax arrears would be evened.
Sun Chengzong seemed to have seen through their thoughts: "But remember one thing, no matter what method you use, you must not force or coax them.
There is no favors in this matter.
Jin Yiwei will specifically investigate immigration matters.
It’s better that we don’t fall into their hands.”
The evil spirits that the officials had just aroused immediately restrained themselves, and it was better not to go to prison.
The people under his rule are indeed poor, and some are even so poor that they have no place to stand.
Now that there is such a good thing, some people should be willing to go.
Not to mention the officials from various places who went to gather immigrants, Zheng Zha came to Tamsui with 400 naval troops and 1,000 Fujian soldiers sent to him by General Yu.
Tamsui is the mouth of the Tamsui River.
Zheng Zha assigned half of his troops to Chen Houfu, the commander of the Fujian soldiers: "Houfu, you build the city here.
I will take people to the chicken coop.
The two places are not far apart.
If anything happens, you can send them."
People contact me.”
Chen Houfu nodded in agreement, Zheng Zha went to the chicken coop, and Chen Houfu ordered the tools to be moved and began to set up camp near the mouth of the river.
Two hundred sailors lived on the boat, and five hundred Fujian soldiers and two thousand civilians lived in the camp.
They were busy until night before the camp was barely built into a prototype.
He set up sentries before letting everyone rest.
Sleeping until midnight, there was a sudden noise outside.
He immediately got up.
At this time, a guard ran in: "General, the enemy is attacking."
He hurriedly put on his clothes, took the weapon and ran out.
There were two sentries standing at the door of the hastily made camp.
Chen Houfu stepped forward to take a closer look and said, "It's a blow dart.
Where is the medical officer?"
The only medical officer in this team was picked up by the soldiers at this time, and he was not even dressed.
He checked and confirmed that the sentry was injured by a blowgun, but he did not have the corresponding medicine to relieve the soldier's coma.
Chen Houfu said: "Let them lie down for now.
I will go and deal with the natives when it gets daylight."
The next morning, Chen Houfu took the medical officer and two guards to the nearby mountain.
The four of them were unarmed and were walking slowly after entering the mountain.
Suddenly a bamboo whistle sounded in front of them, and dozens of big men suddenly emerged from all around, pointing at them with bows, arrows, swords and guns.
Chen Houfu had already given instructions to the people who came with him.
Everyone slowly raised their hands above their heads.
Chen Houfu said: "Speak carefully if you have anything to say, and don't be impulsive
