Li Yuanxing stood up and left, and he no longer needed to worry about the next details.
Flagship study room.
"Your Highness, the identity of Zhao Lu is unknown. Is he really a descendant of the Ji family? In other words, can it be verified that he is a descendant of Zhao Tuo? Maybe he just borrowed a name." As soon as Wei Ting saw Li Yuanxing sitting down, he
He hurriedly stepped forward to speak.
Li Yuanxing picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and responded slowly: "I said he is, he is. I think he is a descendant of the Ji family, so he is the Zhao family with the surname Ji. To be more direct, the Tang Dynasty needs
If he is, then he must be."
"I don't understand!" Wei Ting's tone was a little tougher.
He has the same momentum as when he confronted Li Yuanxing in Shuofang City.
Li Yuanxing didn't mind Wei Ting's tone, and just said: "Go ahead, Indo-China Peninsula, Nanyang Islands. Anyone who can prove that they are Han people, as long as they are willing, will be my subjects of the Tang Dynasty and be protected by my Datang. Then secretly give the orders."
, those who did not come from the Central Plains originally, as long as they stick to the relationship, it will be somewhat embarrassing, and then they will become people of the Tang Dynasty. At least the difference between the Tang Dynasty and the indigenous people, Wei Changshi will make a plan. "
"Your Highness!" Wei Ting was so excited that he tried to persuade him, but he suddenly reacted.
He immediately changed his words and said: "Your Highness, this is a brilliant plan!"
"Let's make some arrangements. Let Yuan Tiangang and Ci Ku study it carefully. If the people here need to believe in religion, Tang Buddhism and Central Plains Taoism are acceptable. I think Tianzhu Buddhism is not authentic."
Not authentic!!!
Wei Ting really wanted to tell Li Yuanxing that Buddhism in Tianzhu is the authentic one.
But seeing Li Yuanxing's half-smiling expression, Wei Ting swallowed back the words that came to his lips and bowed: "Then I will go make arrangements now. Your Highness, please tell me how many days you will stay here."
"Here, we need to build a pier and a commercial port. Halong Bay is a good place, so we should build one or two places for leisure and vacation. Rice is produced here all year round, so why should we occupy 100,000 acres of farmland?
Occupy, how to divide it, since there are so many people coming, let them come up with some ideas, give the port to Zhao Lu, by the way, tell him to figure it out slowly!"
No one understands the purpose of His Highness King Qin’s order.
But the King of Qin is the King of Qin.
His Highness King Qin’s order does not require a reason, let alone an explanation.
This was not the Ming Dynasty, when the power of civil servants was so great that it could affect the imperial power.
Li Yuanxing's order was quickly spread, and a telegram was sent to Lao Cheng who was in Haiya City (later Singapore). Lao Cheng didn't even understand what Qin King Li Yuanxing meant by doing this, but he just knew that he would follow the order.
There is nothing wrong with that.
In modern times, the green card in the United States is more crazy than gold.
Li Yuanxing wants to know how much my green card from Datang is worth in this era.
Proving this matter requires a process. Li Yuanxing has just made a start for this matter. Then, the next step is to wait and see the result.
Zhao Lu did not dare to call himself King of Tianhai anymore. No matter what his status was, he had to lower his head in front of the Tang Dynasty. Before returning to the village, he stood in a daze in front of the land that was flattened by artillery. Several of his subordinates saw
He came back and rushed to his side quickly: "You are going to let us go, otherwise we will blow up the village directly."
"Do you know there is a rumor about Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Lu kept staring at the charred land as he spoke.
Rumors, there are too many rumors about Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing no one answered, Zhao Lu said: "The rumor that interests me the most in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty is that His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty said that he does not wear a crown or a prince's robe. Even if he is naked, King Qin is
King Qin. Now that I think about it, these words seem to have another meaning."
"don't know!"
"What don't you understand? It's very simple. The King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty is not a facade decorated with superficial things. Look at this scorched land, whoever dares to disobey will be wiped out forever. This is what the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty has to do.
The crown, the rich Tang Dynasty, and the huge ship like a mountain, these are the robes of the King of Qin."
What Zhao Lu said is his own perception.
It really doesn't matter whether your subordinates understand or not.
Yue Lu added: "If you really care, then pay attention to other rumors. Whoever dares to slap the people of Datang unreasonably will be repaid tenfold by Datang. Of course, if you are reasonable, Datang will
I’ll be reasonable with you. Tomorrow the people on the ship will come to verify the identity and tell our people that they must get a Datang ID card no matter what.”
"What's the benefit?"
"Benefits?" Zhao Lu smiled and shook his head gently: "There are no benefits. It only means that you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. If you really want to talk about the benefits, I don't believe there is a difference between the people of the Tang Dynasty and these indigenous barbarians.
I can let you see it in two years, it is definitely not a matter of just a few words!"
Does it really take three years to see the benefits for the people of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Yuanxing made the people here see the difference that day.
Repair the pier! The first step is to clean up the messy beach, then lay the foundation, and the third step is to actually repair the pier.
People of the Tang Dynasty had at least twelve cash per person per day. People without Tang status had a basic income of only ten cash per person per day. It can be said that based on the same standards as craftsmen, people from the Tang Dynasty earned 20% more than non-Tang people.
income.
This isn't the end yet.
Feng Ang's fleet naturally has a lot of cargo, whether it's food, silk or the like.
The standard market price of a bushel of cornmeal was fifteen cents. However, people in the Tang Dynasty could buy ten bushels of cornmeal for only twelve cents each month, which was another 20% cheaper.
There are more than a few hundred people living in this area of Halong Bay.
Baiyue did not have a unified court, but it did not have countless villages. There were still people who proclaimed themselves kings one after another. Zhao Lu was once one of these self-proclaimed kings. He had tens of thousands of people living here, but really
There are less than a thousand Han people, that is, those who can obtain Datang status.
Only a few hundred people can barely get it.
Naturally, someone will make trouble.
An official official on the ship disembarked specifically for this purpose and explained: "In Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, we can make a rainbow brocade dress. People in the Tang Dynasty can order a complete set with just about the same money, while foreigners at least need
For three thousand dollars, the more you buy, the more expensive it becomes. All goods are the same."
"Why?" shouted a local who knew Chinese.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty paid taxes to the Tang Dynasty and fought for the Tang Dynasty. It was the people who supported the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Holy Sage said that the people are the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is also the Tang Dynasty of all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Foreigners
Just passing by, why should I use the same price to buy my property in Datang? The merchants did not keep the extra money from the sale. The money was used as foreign transaction tax to build roads, bridges, and give some pension money to the orphans every year.
, this is stipulated in the law.”
The official explained it very directly.
In other words, if people from the Tang Dynasty don’t buy something, they will have to pay additional taxes.
"But because the Tang people's wages are higher than ours?"
The local people asked again. Zhao Lu was also listening and watching from a distance. He did not step forward because he did not intend to represent anyone, and he could not represent anyone at the moment. What's more, he was also concerned about what happened to these officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Deal with this matter.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty have to pay household income tax, and these money are supplementary taxes."
Pay taxes? These locals can't argue anymore. They can't just say that they voluntarily pay an extra tax.
Zhao Lu understood. This was the people of the Tang Dynasty protecting themselves.
He still knows a little about the rules of Chang'an. According to his poor place, a household will pay taxes only if its income exceeds at least 500 to 700 yuan a month. And those who have just crossed the line can pay almost as much tax.
Regardless of calculation, in Chang'an, if a household's income is less than two taels of cash, they definitely don't have to pay tax.
There is no need to pay tax, which means that you don’t need to pay any tax.
How many taxes were there in the Sui Dynasty? What kind of taxes did Zhao Lu have to collect when he controlled this territory? He was as clear as a mirror.
A Tang Dynasty that did not collect taxes from the poor was terrible.
Whether the locals are happy or unhappy, envious or not, they can only accept this fact. No one takes a commission from the labor required to build docks and roads. It is good to have a job and earn an income.
Good thing. I went to make trouble and asked, and someone from Datang gave me an explanation.
This is enough. If we continue to make trouble, we need to think about the scorched land.
The next day, Wei Ting reported in front of Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, two things. The first is that there is a local man who claims to be Tieshan King forty miles west of here, and he plans to trade with us. The other thing, Zhao Lu
I’d like to borrow some weapons.”
"Weapons, is there a reason?"
"Yes! Thirty-five miles to the southwest, there is a village that has always been protected by Zhao Lu. Maybe his opponent heard that someone had destroyed his main force, so he was mobilizing manpower to attack that village. So Zhao Lu must go
Fighting, but I hope I can borrow some weapons to increase his combat power." Wei Ting answered truthfully.
"Are any of those people Han?" Li Yuanxing asked.
"Of the three thousand people, they accounted for almost 40%. And we can be sure that those people are the roots of the old Qin people, especially the Bai family in that village. According to Zhao Lu, they are the same as the old Bai family in the fiefdom of His Highness.
They have the same roots, the real old Qin people after Lord Wu An." Wei Ting told Li Yuanxing what he knew.
Li Yuanxing patted the armrest lightly. He was thinking about how to use this matter. This is definitely a good thing.
"Your Highness, I think I want to save you!" Wei Ting added.
"Is that general very free these days?" Li Yuanxing asked with a cold face.
"General Yuchi is the most leisurely." Wei Ting understood Li Yuanxing's intention in an instant. This was the person he recommended the most.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Order General Yuchi to lead troops and horses to fight, and tell him only one sentence: There are descendants of Yan and Huang in my shelter in the Tang Dynasty!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
