In 1773 he visited the province, and, being touched by the poverty of the people, began an agricultural undertaking, which was crowned with extraordinary success. In 1774 he undertook the conquest of the Indians in his territory, which was accomplished in two years. Lapa also brought colonists from Portugal and distributed them through the country. In 1777 he was recalled.
