For the people of the four major empires now, they don't know the role of these naval bases at all. In their view, although the naval base is very important, it is not something that can tie them up. In their view, the naval bases are very important.
One of the ways to come to these naval bases, that is, the Cao Family Trading Company, is that we will find solutions in the future. Although you who solve the problems are very powerful now, can you still be so powerful in the future? Can you still maintain the current situation?
We feel that it is impossible. In the long history of this continent, many people wanted to overthrow the rule of the four empires, but in the end they failed to accomplish this. Why? Just
Because the power of the great empire has been deeply rooted in this continent, it is absolutely impossible to follow your temper. Although you are very good for the time being, will you continue to be like this in the future? In the four major
The top officials of the empire seemed to think that this was impossible. In history, there had been many forces similar to the Cao Family Trading Company. They were all very large and very powerful when they could not get in. But later on, they
They are no longer so powerful and have begun to slowly decline. As long as you show a sign of decline, we will definitely seize that opportunity to kill you. The four empires have been archived for such a long time. What they are really worried about
The danger comes from the Warcraft Mountains. In history, a large number of Warcraft have rushed out and killed tens of billions of people on the entire continent. This is what they are most worried about. They are worried that the masters in the Warcraft Mountains are really desperate.
When they come out, then their danger will really [email protected] than that, there is nothing else that can make them worry?
It is a very difficult thing for them to solve the Warcraft Mountains, and it is also an impossible thing. It is not that they have not attacked the Warcraft Mountains in history. I remember that they lost people from the four major empires ten thousand years ago.
A joint army was assembled, called the One Hundred Thousand Army. The number of this hundred thousand army was only one hundred thousand. Many people would ask whether it was possible to eliminate the Warcraft in the Warcraft Mountains with just these one hundred thousand people.
?That is simply impossible, but 100,000 people are not ordinary 100,000 people. Many people should know that these are very powerful people. The lowest level among them are also some seventh-level warriors or
Seventh-level archers. In addition, the rest are all eighth-level warriors and above. Of course, the largest number among them is the seventh-level warrior. The number of others cannot be that large. In their view, the number of Warcraft
The monsters in the mountains are very powerful. If there is a beast wave, they will lose a lot. Cao Family Trading Company has several relatively large military bases in the Southern Empire, all of which are around the monster mountains. They all feel that this is
There is something wrong with the minds of the people in the Cao Family Trading Company. Although they all have strong defenses. The defenses of the alchemist are aimed at people. If they are against these monsters, they probably won't be that powerful. They will definitely not be able to escape.
It's not a big deal. If there was such a beast wave, it is estimated that the Cao Family Trading Company's military strength would suffer a great loss.
In their opinion, it would be a good opportunity to deal with the Cao Family Trading Company at that time. Although the Cao Family Trading Company is now very powerful in various places, and their armies have already reached the four major imperial counties.
At the level of a city, what’s the point? Is it really possible to occupy a county and city just by relying on those troops? Of course, that’s not to say that it’s completely impossible, but that’s all in some areas where the ruling power is relatively weak.
Areas, if there are really some very powerful areas, it is impossible. In some areas where the ruling power is very strong, they are usually directly governed by people within the royal family. It is absolutely impossible for such a place to fall to the Cao Family Trading Company.
Yes, because some of the policies currently implemented by the Cao Family Trading Company have already made the upper echelons of the four empires feel inappropriate, but ordinary people are very willing to do so. For example, they are implemented in the areas ruled by the Cao Family Trading Company.
The so-called personal income tax is the head tax they implement here. It is okay for them to implement this, but one question that makes them uncomfortable is how can this tax be collected according to their own income?
What? This kind of thing has been implemented within the four empires for many years. Many people think that they are all at the same level. For example, the tax rate currently implemented in the Eastern Empire means that no matter you are a commoner or a
Rich people with a net worth of tens of millions only need to pay 3 taels of silver a year. This is the so-called head tax. This is also a very important part of the tax source of the entire Eastern Empire. For those super rich people,
But it is very easy. Three taels of silver a year is not a good thing for an ordinary person. They may only have two months of income, although it is not that serious to them. They
They are all affordable. In the past, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this thing. But when the tax policy of Cao's Trading Company spread, they still felt a little uncomfortable. Why?
How can others do that? The tax collection policy of Cao Family Trading Company is like this. People with an annual income of less than ten taels of silver basically do not need to pay taxes. Such people can also receive free tax from Cao Family Trading Company every year.
receive partial relief because the people in Cao's Trading Company feel that they need help. This means that low-income people do not need to pay taxes at all. As long as they can support themselves, the government will
It is true that you cannot receive much money from you. This group of people accounts for about 10% of all ordinary people. After all, there are not many such poor people, but these people are also needed among the four empires.
For those of you who pay taxes, the government doesn’t care whether you starve to death or not. This is what you must do. In addition, there are also taxes stipulated by governments at all levels, which take up almost half of these people’s annual income.
Five achievements is enough. Only they know what kind of days they live every year. Every meal they eat can only be some things of little use. Good food has never appeared on their tables.
Okay. These people have endured it. After all, they have been here for so many years, but things are different later. Why can't our government be the same as the people of Cao's Trading Company? People have said that such people are basically
There is no need to pay any taxes, because they may have problems even taking care of themselves. If they are asked to pay taxes, they will simply die. This is simply impossible. If they are allowed to come
If you do this, it's your fault. Although these people live at the bottom of society, and no one pays attention to their comments, this is always a bad phenomenon. If you follow the Cao family business in the future
When there is a fight between people, it is estimated that these people may side with the Cao Family Trading Company. It is possible.
The second class is the people whose income is between ten taels of silver and fifty taels of silver. These people need to pay taxes ranging from two taels of silver to five taels of silver every year. They are all separated from the
Poor people, of course. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company collected so much tax, but they were different from the people of the four empires. After the people of the Cao Family Trading Company collected the money, they would make a huge notice board to tell them
Where all the money has gone, and even every expenditure is clear. They also understand their role in this matter, and they also hear for the first time that they also have rights.
, First of all, it is the title of taxpayer. In the past, they never felt that they had any rights. These rights were what those officials should do. Of course, people on this planet have no idea what it is.
Democratic, so Li Cong will not directly give them too much power at once. If this place is really democratized, there may be big problems, because they used to
They don’t have so many rights. If we ask them to start doing this now, they won’t know how to do it. It will make the whole society a mess, but there is no problem in just giving them some rights. Just like now
They all still felt good, at least they knew where their money had gone. Many people who came from the notification area of Cao's Commercial Bank started to shout in their area. How come Cao's Commercial Bank was opened?
People have so many rights. We also pay a lot of water bills every year. Why don't we know where all the money goes? You must know that the gentlemen at Cao's Trading Company are very similar to
You are all different. You eat and drink just like ordinary people. There is also a powerful supervisory agency. If you find any evidence that is unfavorable to an official, you can report it directly and there will be a dedicated team immediately.
People have investigated in the past, and the relationship between businessmen and officials is not that good. As long as the past of giving gifts is discovered, an investigation will begin. If there is no so-called power-for-money transaction, it will not matter, but
If there is anything wrong, this matter will immediately let you know how terrible the supervision agency is. Not only the official's position may not be saved, but even this businessman is unlikely to end well. Speculators must do that.
, why did Li Conghui formulate this policy in the first place? Because he is also a businessman, and he knows very clearly what these businessmen fear most, which is speculators. If all the money in his family is lost because of one thing,
If you take it away, it is estimated that everyone will feel uncomfortable. If this is the case, then find the thing that makes you least comfortable to do. If you can do such things well, all of you will
Everyone is considered honest. The tax policy that makes the big businessmen in the Eastern Empire the most dissatisfied is the next one. People with more than one hundred silver should be considered rich, and the middle is divided into one hundred taels of silver.
To the level of ten thousand taels of silver, then from ten thousand taels to one hundred thousand taels of silver, from one hundred thousand taels to one million taels of silver, from one million taels of silver to tens of millions of silver, from tens of millions of silver to 100 million, or above 100 million, every year
They all need to pay an income ranging from 10% to 40% of their income. This kind of income makes those rich people feel pain. What kind of joke are you kidding me? My ancestors left it to me.
Isn’t this a joke? You want to take back 45% of the assets of this family property. Why don’t you go and rob it? It seems that only the word robbery can describe your behavior now. Other than that,
I really don’t know what to say to you. These people also have their own ideas. First of all, this kind of thing will kill them.
In fact, this is a good thing for the people of the four empires. The basis of their rule is not the so-called poor people. The basis of their rule is the landlord class, and only these talents will bring them a lot of benefits.
In return, what these people want to protect are also the interests of these people. For a while, these people's roles were reversed. When they put on official uniforms, they were government officials, and when they took off their clothes, they were businessmen. It can be said that it is still the same now.
Yes, it's just that they are doing much better than before. For example, in a big family, the direct descendants will never go out to do business. They will go to some places around to serve as local officials or something, but they
Some of the brothers and sisters who were born from a concubine will go to the place where they work to do business. The money they earn will help the direct descendant to a higher position, and then give the descendant of the concubine greater convenience.
Then let the family's power expand even greater. Such things are normal in many places. If Li Cong had occupied their place, would they still be able to live like this? It can be said that the people now
They have all changed their views. Although many people in the government say how scary it is to be in the notification area of Cao's Trading Company. But there will be many people coming from the notification area of Cao's Trading Company, and they also
I didn’t feel anything was wrong with the people over there. If there was one thing that was different, the relationship between the government and the people was very good. It’s not the same as here. There are always people who don’t obey the government’s rule and go up the mountain.
Now that you have become the king of the mountain, the security situation there is also good. Although the government officials here are responsible for the security here, there is only one thing they do every day, which is to go out and talk to the businessmen outside.
They just charge a certain amount of security fees. If you don't pay, then this thing will happen. Some gangsters on the street will come to this place to give you something nice to see. At that time, you will beg for help.
These people came to collect security fees. In the end, this was the situation. They were very helpless in this situation. The adults in the government also knew that this was what the government officials below should do.
Things, after all, the money given to them is too little. If they don't let them do some such things, it would be very sorry for them. Just look at their income, it is really too little. If
If you don't let others do such things, how will you live your life in the future? Even if you want others to do things for you, you have to make them full, right? I don't have that much money to give to others, so naturally I have to let others do things for me.
People have gone out to find their own way, and the people at Cao's Trading Company are completely different. Each of those guys has their own salary, and they all have very high salaries. For them, this is
The treatment is nothing, they don't care about such a small amount of money, there is no way, who told Cao's business to use all the tax revenue for people's livelihood, naturally they will do that, government workers
It doesn’t matter if your salary is higher, it’s just their ability. If you also have such ability, there will be no problem. But it’s a pity that you don’t have such ability, so what can we say?
You can only be looked down upon by the common people. There is nothing that can be done about the disgust of the common people. In fact, some middle class people also feel that the social atmosphere here is not very good. After this matter spread, many people thought that the Cao family
The trading company's side is better than theirs. No matter how people in the government publicize this matter, they just feel that the Cao's Trading Company's side is much better than theirs, although it is impossible to be a traitor.
, but they all feel that if the people from the Cao Family Trading Company come to occupy this place, they will have no resistance. For them, it doesn't matter who rules them, as long as it can make them live a better life.
That's good, that's what they have in mind now.
People from the four empires also discovered the matter in front of them in time. They also believed that such ideological intrusion was very serious. They also wanted to solve this problem, but such problems were not formed in a day. They had to let them
It is definitely unrealistic to solve this problem quickly. In fact, they don't know how to solve this problem. For them, it seems that military matters are more serious. In their case,
In my eyes, when have these common people's affairs been considered important? Those rich people's affairs are the most important thing. What can the common people do even if they make a fuss? Most people will not do anything out of the ordinary.
Even if there is such a part, it doesn't matter. At most, we can just take a few good people to the mountains to become bandits. That has nothing to do with it. As long as our people arrive in large numbers, they will immediately fall apart.
, for them, no matter what happens to the common people, they are unlikely to care, because they do not think that the threat from the common people will be greater than that of the Cao Family Trading Company, and they will feel this in the future.
Things are a bit uncomfortable. Li Li specially presided over this propaganda war. In fact, sometimes if such a thing happens, it will bring a huge blow to the people of the four empires. Sometimes this blow is bigger than
The military strike is even more severe. This is what these people can't understand. If they can understand the matter in front of them, there will probably be no place for us to mess around in the future. They may do such things.
What I can’t understand is that because of this kind of thing, everyone in the four empires feels that something is wrong, but they can’t find anything wrong. That is to say, during such a collision of ideas, the Cao family
Another major blow for the trading company came down. In the area governed by the Cao Family Trading Company, all the people who were registered in the household register of the Cao Family Trading Company can be treated as before, no matter where they are in the empire.
You can enjoy the policy of fifteen cents per catty of grain. Of course, there is a purchase limit. For example, if you eat three hundred catties of grain a year, your purchase limit can only be twice this amount. If you exceed
This quantity needs to be based on a local market price. Cao's Trading Company finally stopped letting their grain be at that price permanently. This seems to be good news for some grain merchants in various places, but
They soon discovered that the food production on this continent seemed to have reached a critical point, because almost 80% of the large area of arable land was in the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company, and the Cao Family Trading Company's
The taste of that grain is the best. No matter how hard these people try to make it, it is impossible for them to make such good grain. Such things also make them feel very strange. What is going on? In the past
Why didn't we discover such a thing when we were here? If our food was so delicious, would the price be lower? In fact, this is impossible, because other food merchants produce inferior quality products.
After the news came out, people in other areas felt uncomfortable. Although the price in most areas was still fifteen cents, what should we do if the price increases when the weather is not so good in the future?
They only spend a few hundred more coins every month, but they still feel uncomfortable in their hearts. For them, this should be the same for everyone in the world. Why can those people in the Cao Family Trading Company
What about enjoyment?
They feel very unhappy about such a decision, but the people from Cao's Trading Company don't care what you think, because your thoughts have nothing to do with us, and it doesn't matter if you want to buy such cheap food.
, just join the household registration of Caojia Commercial Bank, because the household registration card issued by Caojia Commercial Bank is green, so this thing is also called a green card, and then there will be a series of benefits, in addition to the food
In addition to welfare, Li Cong also began to establish a number of schools on a large scale in the hundreds of provinces he occupied. In this era, there were no schools. They were all in the form of private schools. The scales were not very large, and they were not
There are no unified teaching materials. It can be said that they are all supported by the skills of these teachers in this era. Of course, many people also rely on their own luck. If you are lucky, you will encounter
If you are a good teacher, then you can have a good life in the future, but if the person who teaches you is a fool, then you may miss the most important period of your life, because in the future
Your own memory is not that good, so Li Cong began to organize schools. There are still more people in this era, and Li Li does not have the ability to let all students go to school for free.
, we can only make it cheaper for them. For example, those private schools outside charge one or two silver for studying every month, but here they only charge that much for half a year. In the past, many people did not study.
That's it. One tael of silver a month is such a huge expense. It is enough for a family to consume for a year. In fact, there is far less money than that. Those teachers think they are
They charge so much money because their knowledge is worth so much money. It’s hard to say anything about this Li Yi, because this is also a normal thing. Knowledge is absolutely very good in this society, even if he
They have already paid a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. However, they still only recruited less than 3,000 teachers. This is simply a drop in the bucket for the entire established school. It is simply not enough.
There is a huge gap. Hundreds of provinces have established about thousands of schools. These have just been established. In the future, there may be hundreds of times this number. How can there be enough teachers?
After going to so many schools, only a few students came. This was something Li never thought of. The most numerous of them were the family members of the employees of the Cao Family Trading Company. As for the other people, they were still
I don’t really believe this, because those old private school teachers have already said it, saying that some of the things taught here are simply useless, and they will not be able to get anything in the imperial examination in the future. Li Yi wants them to
What is taught is some relatively complete knowledge on the earth, and it is definitely not some ordinary things on this planet. It cannot be said that those things are useless, but for these people, there is really no need to learn. They will be in the future.
Not everyone has to be an official. Even if you are an official, you will need these things during the exam. When you finish the exam, these things will be thrown away, and there will not be much at all.
When people look at this thing, they will feel how useless it is. What these people want to learn should be things that are useful to society. There is basically no learning from things that are not useful to society.
It is necessary. These people all understand this matter. Otherwise, what is the use of what they have learned? This has formed a huge confrontation with some local private school gentlemen. What they have learned all their lives is of no use.
Now, if I don’t confront you, who will I dare to confront?
This also gave people in the major empires an explanation. They were vigorously publicizing this issue of reading, saying that the people in the Cao Family Trading Company simply had ulterior motives, and that the set of education they promoted would not have much effect in the future.
What is useful is not useful at all. This is something that directly discredits scholars. Many people really believe this. Li Li doesn’t know what to say about their understanding. In fact, we are
We came to help you. We provided people, money, and everything to help you live a good life. But in the end, we didn’t accept our favor. I really don’t know what you were thinking. If you
If we all do things like this, we really don’t know what to do with you. Shouldn’t we just let you be illiterate for the rest of your life? In the past, there were a lot of illiterates in China. If there were too many illiterate people, it would be detrimental to the entire country.
It is a big obstacle to the progress of society. Now that such an opportunity has appeared, you have failed to seize it. You even feel that we are all trying to trick you. I really don’t know what to say about such a thing.
What are you doing? Anyway, what you think in your mind is not the same as what we think. If this is the case, it will be up to you to decide your own affairs in the future. Li Yi was not such a person in the past.
People who shrink back when faced with setbacks, but the current situation is like this. If I really force them to enter this school to study, I don’t know what those people will say. Besides, I think I can give others some advice.
Why would you follow me for a small favor? That is impossible. These people all know very well that they will not give up the four empires so quickly. For them, although they are now the Cao Family Trading Company
people, but it seems to be a very possible thing that the Cao family business will be wiped out in the future. Li Li has no way to tell them what they think. Who knows what will happen in the future? You will always say that you, Cao
The people in the family business are so powerful, but if the people from the four empires all united, wouldn't you be able to cope with it? This is impossible, just like what the people from the four empires said, although it is historically
There were many people who wanted to deal with the four empires. But in the end, all those people were just corpses, and there was nothing else. This is also very possible. The four empires
It has existed for a long time. Even within the area of the Cao Family Trading Company, there are many people from the four major empires. Although they now have a very good relationship with the Cao Family Trading Company, what is in their hearts?
Whatever they are thinking, they are probably the only ones who know about this matter. These people are acting against the will. Many employees of Cao's Commercial Bank are like this. The top management of Cao's Commercial Bank can't do anything about this situation. After all, people
Whatever is thinking in your mind can only be decided by others. We cannot decide for others. If we have such a method, we may be able to solve this problem in the future. But we don’t have that ability now.
Looking at the duel now, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company still have a lot of advantages. At least many people say that the lives of the people in the area of the Cao Family Trading Company are better than them. These people are not very good at other things.
What they care about, what they care about is actually very simple things, and many of them have to be done by themselves. Many people don't quite understand this matter, but alchemists basically understand it now.
Anyway, although there are no open fires on the entire continent, there are hidden fires everywhere. These people are very cautious in doing things. In their opinion, these things today are not that powerful.
, but many people are very scared, because they have all felt this. This is that this continent is more dangerous now than when Li Cong was there. In the past, although that guy Li Cong was very good at doing things,
Sharp, but not easy to create some friction. Master Alchemy seems to be different now as the helmsman of the Cao Family Trading Company. This guy is young and energetic. If he doesn't have any great abilities in his hands,
There is nothing to worry about, but now he has very powerful strength in his hands. If this guy makes a slight move, it will be fatal. Just like now, the Cao Family Trading Company's army has never been stronger.
Not only did this person show no signs of restraint, but he intensified his behavior. Just when many people felt that the people of Cao's Trading Company were going to lose because of school matters, the military department of Cao's Trading Company began to speak. They all had their own
In some ways, these people all felt that a lot of things had happened. This guy Li Li formed ten Guards divisions. In fact, the Guards divisions already existed before. They were nothing more than a very capable person.
The powerful ace troops are just that, but this time is different from the past. What makes these troops better than others is that they can all be transported by airships. They have their own exclusive airships. This matter directly affects the entire continent.
The people were dumbfounded. The largest airship of the Cao Family Trading Company could already transport more than 3,000 people at a time. Each division actually had hundreds of such airships to transport their people and equipment. Such an army could directly transport four people.
The emperors of the great empire can't sleep. What should they do if such an army is thrown directly outside their capital city? If they fight, it is estimated that none of their armies will be their opponents, but if
If we don't fight, the result may be surprising in the end. These people all have their own ideas. They all feel that things are not that simple. Why do the people of the Cao Family Trading Company set up such a company?
What about the army? According to the standards of the Cao Family Trading Company's external tribute, the price of a super large airship is more than 45 billion silver. You must know that a division of the army needs hundreds of them. Isn't this just a Guards Division?
Transportation costs more than 500 billion yuan? Is such an army too expensive? Soon the military department of Cao's Commercial Bank issued a message, saying that no one else needed to think about it. In fact,
The people of the Cao Family Trading Company formed such an army purely for defense. These armies can reach any place on the mainland within two years, and they are stationed in ten places on the mainland. These ten places are basically
They can reach any place on the continent within three months. Regarding this statement, the people of the four major empires became even more panicked. There is no safe place on this continent. In the past, the people of the four major empires
If people want to go to war, even if they advance at full speed, it will take at least a year to assemble their own army, because this continent is really too big, and if you want to conquer it so quickly,
It is not so easy to gather your own army. Now such a situation has arisen. In response to such a threat, the people of the other three empires cannot do nothing. Their military departments have also started their own
After deducing, we finally came to the conclusion that the ten most important cities in the entire empire must have more than ten million troops stationed, otherwise they may be quickly killed by the Cao Family Trading Company's Guards Division.
Many people are aware of this kind of thing, which means these people have to increase their manpower quickly.
Now the armies of the four major empires have reached the highest level in history. If they continue to expand their armies, some of their domestic labor forces may also be insufficient. This is an unimaginable thing, but the four major empires
The emperor still accepted such a fatal thing. Each of these people felt that their positions were not very stable. Each of these people saw clearly that the thing that threatened them was not the Warcraft in the Warcraft Mountains.
But these guys outside, these people from the Cao Family Trading Company, they are the ones who threaten us. Without them, it is estimated that such a thing would not happen. Now they have seriously threatened us, so we must
To do such a thing, Li Li hid in the dark and laughed, why did he want to release such news? You are really powerful now, but there are people in this world that you don’t know who are being competed. When you all invest
When you go in, you will find that there will still be a huge gap with Cao's Trading Company. I really don't know what will happen to you at that time? (To be continued...)
