Guo Zhiyuan was even more surprised and happy to see that this great Maitreya could speak Chinese. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Dongba (Taiwan), he would have to integrate these Dongba natives. It would be much easier to communicate with them if they could speak Chinese. But it was true that Dongba (Taiwan) was not far from Fujian, and it was only a strait. For hundreds of years, the people from the coast of Fujian have been constantly settling in Dongba and traveling continuously. It is not surprising that the indigenous people here can speak Chinese.

Chen Di and Da Maitreya exchanged greetings and introduced Chen Yourong and Guo Zhiyuan to him: "General Chen Yourong, you have seen him last time. This Lord Guo is the commander of the rebellion. Thanks to his strategy, this time, my royal army has quelled the rebellion so quickly..."

When the big Maitreya heard this, he immediately made a move with his hands on his forehead and knelt down and bowed to Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan was shocked and was about to help him, but Chen Di quietly pulled him and whispered in his ear: "This is the highest etiquette for the first residents here. If you want to take Dongfan, you need the first residents here to obey, and you can receive the gift..."

Guo Zhiyuan paused for a moment, and after the Great Maitreya finished his tribute, he helped him up, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, Dongfan and Fujian are in line with each other. My Ming Dynasty's King's Master will naturally protect the peace of the people of Dongfan..."

After the Great Maitreya stood up, he became very polite. Guo Zhiyuan invited the Great Maitreya to the stronghold. Of course, this time, this Great Maitreya came not only as simple as thanks. He also wanted to understand the reality of Guo Zhiyuan and others, so he happily agreed. When the group returned to the stronghold, the Great Maitreya saw so many soldiers stationed in the stronghold, the smile on his face became obviously far-fetched.

The group sat down at the military tent. The gifts brought by the Great Maitreya asked the troops to take out were nothing more than fruit wine and game. Guo Zhiyuan also quickly asked his subordinates to get the wine and the food to entertain the Great Maitreya and his subordinates. The wine taken out by Guo Zhiyuan was sorghum wine made of sorghum wine, which was much higher than the fruit wine brought by the Great Maitreya. Da Maitreya drank it and praised it. The food was sweet potato cake made of sweet potatoes, which was so delicious that it almost bite its tongue. Da Maitreya drank the sorghum wine and ate the sweet potato cakes while sighing: "These wine and food are only available in the Heavenly Kingdom!"

Guo Zhiyuan looked at the Great Maitreya and laughed and said, "It's impolite to come but not go. If the Great Maitreya doesn't dislike it, I will just give you some sorghum wine and sweet potato cakes!"

When the Great Maitreya heard this, he was overjoyed and wanted to kneel down and thank Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan quickly stopped him and laughed: "It's just some crude things, not worth mentioning. In the future, you must have to interact with the Great Maitreya. Please don't be too dissatisfied..."

When Da Maitreya heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This was also the thing he was most worried about on this trip. They were naturally very happy that the Ming army helped them sweep away the Japanese pirates, but if Guo Zhiyuan was planning to station here for a long time, they would not be happy. No one would hope that such a large force would suddenly appear next to his settlement. Although Guo Zhiyuan looks on the surface, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a disaster over time.

Thinking of this, the Great Maitreya looked at Guo Zhiyuan and carefully tentatively said: "Sir, is Master Wang going to stay here for a long time?"

Guo Zhiyuan was too lazy to circle around the Great Maitreya. He also wanted to know the reactions of the natives of the East Band to this matter, so he simply said straight to the point: "Yes, I will build a giant city here and stay here for a long time. You will never have to worry about being invaded by Japanese pirates again. Does Great Maitreya think it is not good?..."

The big Maitreya's face became more and more ugly. He drove away the jackal and the tiger. It was just that it was not easy to say it in front of Guo Zhiyuan, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's good, but if the King's Army is stationed here for a long time, there will be a lot of supplies. If the mountain people are not able to fill their stomachs, it may be difficult to supply the King's Army..."

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Don't worry about the Great Maitreya. I will farm here and plant some new crops. The yield per mu can reach more than ten stones. I can be self-sufficient. I will definitely not be in trouble with the Great Maitreya tribe. If there are people in the Great Maitreya tribe who are willing to help us build cities, they can also work for relief. For food or silver from the I Great Maitreya tribe, I will also build a school here. Children in the Great Maitreya tribe can also come here to study..."

The Great Maitreya was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't believe it at all. How could such a good thing be there? Besides, he had never heard of any crop yield per mu that could reach more than ten stones. He became more and more wary of Guo Zhiyuan and said perfunctorily: "This is the best, this is the best..."

Guo Zhiyuan also knew that it was impossible to get the natives of Eastern Bible, such as the Great Maitreya, to return to their hearts. For example, the Ming Dynasty was very worried about the incomparable ethnic minorities in the southwest region. Later, the strategy of "changing land and returning to the current" was adopted to achieve some results. He wanted to manage the Eastern Bible (Taiwan), and he could not use the means of conquering by force to treat these Eastern Bible natives, and could only slowly integrate them.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan did not try to continue to convince the Great Maitreya, but instead changed the topic and asked the Great Maitreya about the situation of other indigenous peoples in the East. The Great Maitreya did not hide privately and introduced it to Guo Zhiyuan in detail. Most of the indigenous people in the East Maitreya (Taiwan) are ethnic minorities. Tribes like Great Maitreya have become more open-minded and have a gentle temperament and are considered "familiar" ones. However, in the deeper mountains, most of the ethnic minorities are still in the primitive social stage because of their long-term closure. They each have their own hunting range and are very fierce and brave. Some tribes even retain the habit of "headhunting", which are "shen" and "wild anime".

After listening to the introduction of Da Maitreya, Guo Zhiyuan felt a little nervous. His understanding of Taiwan's ethnic minorities was limited to knowing the name of the Gaoshan tribe. He didn't expect it to be so complicated. Thinking about the future, he might have to deal with a large group of primitive people, which would make him feel overwhelmed. It seems that he has a long way to go to unify the entire Dongfan (Taiwan)!

As soon as he saw off the Great Maitreya and his party, a guard came to report that Shen Junrong had already led the new army and arrived with a fleet. Guo Zhiyuan was so happy that he could not help but wait for Shen Junrong, so he ran out to greet him. Shen Yourong was obviously excited when he heard that Shen Junrong was coming, but he also asked to avoid it with some embarrassment. Guo Zhiyuan had long noticed the strange relationship between the father and daughter, and knew that there must be some knot between them. He would definitely find a way to resolve it when he found an opportunity, but now it is obviously not a good time. In addition, he has some secrets now and is not suitable for Shen Yourong to know, so he did not force Shen Yourong to go to Shen Junrong alone.
