In order to prepare for the Battle of Southeast Asia at the end of the year, the garrisons of Taiwan and Luzon were fully engaged in logistics preparations.
The logistics system of the Chinese army was established by Yin Feng, and was formed by Zeng Jingshan and Lu Shitou. The pirate leader Lu Shitou was originally the second lord (deputy) in the pirate gang, and was specialized in material logistics and distribution of spoils. Zeng Jingshan was the original one. The material manager of Zengjia Commercial Network, the original logistics assistance work of the escort team was arranged by the China Company. Now the logistics of the Chinese Army is under the head of the China Army Logistics Department, which is under the jurisdiction of the Military Equipment Department, Military Industry Department, Reserve Military Department, and Grain and Grain Department. Four departments, the Ministry of Works of the People's Government and the Reserve Bureau under the Ministry of Security, and the relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Government will mobilize their forces to support them with full support after receiving the orders of the Ministry of Logistics. They have the right to Call any supplies in the company's warehouse.
Now, the specific affairs of the garrison office have been taken over by a large number of newly recruited scholars who failed the imperial examination. Lao Tongsheng has basically withdrawn from civil affairs work. New graduates from the Taiwan Political Academy have also joined the garrison offices in various places. Government affairs work.
Zeng Qi, Zeng Jingshan's government organization establishment work has been on track after years of experiments. Yin Feng is moving to the garrison to transfer the tax rights of China Company to major planting estates and immigrant villages, and various market transaction tax rights. The tax department of the government made preparations for the future separation of the garrison government from the China United Company system.
In the council hall of the former Spanish Governor's Office and now Luzon Town Court, Yin Feng convened a meeting of all civil servants of the town court. The members of the council elected by the major estate owners and immigrant villages and veterans' tung farms were lined up in the front. Sitting around, everyone was inexplicably talking about something. About eighty civil servants at all levels of Luzon garrison were sitting in the middle, looking at each other and being at a loss.
Yin Feng looked very bad, and he was watching repeatedly with a document. He was surrounded by Zeng Jingshan, who had the title of Luzon Guardian, Li Moge, head of the security department of Luzon Branch, and Yin Feng's secretary. Official Xu Hongji, his personal consultant Portuguese missionary Lu Ruohan, and a foreigner with dark brown hair, high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets sat on the top: He is the forty-five-year-old Bernardo Cadras, China United Company The only Jewish board member is also one of the two supervisors of the China Company Financial Audit Bureau, and the other supervisor is Han Jing.
The person who seems not to belong to this occasion is An Xiaosi, the director of the Chinese Military Intelligence Department in Luzon.
Zeng Jingshan and Li Mo's faces were very bad, and they seemed a little restless.
Yin Feng looked up at everyone and spoke. The vaulted lobby converted from the small church of the Governor's Mansion reflected his voice to every corner: "As the saying goes, a thousand miles of officials are only for money. Nowadays, all the officials in the Ming Dynasty have to Relying on social interactions and running for officials, no 80% or 60% of those who live in debt. Once the official is lost, the whole family will fall into trouble. Therefore, they often use all corruption and corruption. The civil servant of the garrison abandoned his family and came to Luzon, sweating and bleeding for the expansion of China. I, Yin Feng, naturally, can't treat you badly. You have a minimum salary of 30 taels of silver every month, and there are still some during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. The minimum red envelope is not less than 100 taels. At the same time, you have served our company for ten years and have made no mistakes. You can enjoy a share of Chinese company's dry shares. You can get ten share of shares on the day of retirement. The person with the highest official rank , can be given priority to purchasing 1,000 acres of land in any place under the company's jurisdiction at a low price, can be paid in installments, can be mortgaged at the bank, and can be a rich man after returning to his hometown. Everyone, these systems I have formulated, for everyone, It's pretty good,"
"But some of you have any reason to embezzle, and..." Yin Feng said, "Hey, he embezzled up to ten thousand taels of silver at one time."
The onlookers of the council "coaxed," and started to talk.
"My mom, the public notice board at the gate of the garrison house says, if you embezzle 100 taels, you have to behead your head."
"Who is it, whose family's children, our Anhai merchants have always been clean, and they must not belong to our Anhai merchants."
"No, this won't work. I'm a shareholder of the company. I invested 50 shares, 5,000 taels of silver. No matter who gets money, it's all related to me."
"Sir, who is this person? The financial auditor elected by the Council has always checked the relevant finances of the garrison once a year. This audit period has not yet arrived. How is the fact of corruption exposed?" The problem is a Jewish immigrant named Manuel Baptista Perez, who is now the owner of a sugar cane estate in southern Luzon. He was elected as a member of the council by the Jewish community in Luzon. I learned Chinese within the year and can now express my opinions in fluent Chinese.
The year before, in order to escape the religious persecution of Catholics, Perez fled from Lima, Chile, in South America, Spain, to Taiwan. He took a Dutch pirate ship and defected to Kadra. Perez, a member of the family of the 1583 family, belonged to a branch of a famous new Christian family. Before he arrived in Lima in 1616, he had already visited Coimbra and then came to Seve Leah, together with his large group of relatives and friends of Jewish "new Christians", Perez established a business network across Europe and America, and operated a large number of various businesses, including through Cartagena and La. The slave trade from Plata to the Atlantic Islands, the mining of silver mines in the Andes, and the large farmhouse in Boca Negra near Lima.
The Spanish were defeated by the Chinese army twice on Luzon. In addition to losing nearly 10,000 military personnel and dozens of warships, the large amount of military expenditure caused the Spanish American colonial government to bear a heavy fiscal deficit and owed domestic nobles. The wealthy businessman and foreign money, in order to raise funds, the Spanish government once again began to persecute Jews, confiscating Jewish property and using it to repay the debt. From this point of view, before Yin Feng and the Chinese company appeared, China's overseas The situations of merchants and Jews are very similar.
According to the Religious Court, in 1617, the property of Nuel Baptista Perez was worth approximately 650,000 Ducat, and the Religious Court recorded his property in an art gallery and a drawing room, in which his property was recorded. There are many books, including religious books, pure literature and a large number of history books on Asia and Europe, in 1617 when the Chinese army and the imperial court went to war, and the new Christians in Portugal in Mexico and Peru were persecuted by religious courts. The land was tied to the stake and burned to death. In 1617 alone, more than 100 people were arrested in Lima. These arrested people were accused of conspiring to overthrow the governor. Perez had long received Bell Nathor's letter knew that there was a land of Jewish freedom in the far east, so at the beginning of the persecution, he left his real estate and fled, crossing the Pacific Ocean to Taiwan, he received funding from the Jewish community in Luzon I bought 1,200 acres of land to open a sugarcane plantation and sugar pressing factory.
Members of the board of directors who expressed dissatisfaction with the corruption incident kept talking.
"Bo," a huge knock came from the middle of the members of the council. Everyone turned their heads and saw a white-haired, short but energetic old man stood up, his face pale.
This little old man is a representative of a few people stranded in the Philippines by the original Linfeng fleet. Zhang Wei, who once made contributions to the Chinese company's battle to capture Manila, is now in his 60s and has lived in Luzon Island for most of his life. Now he has led the company. The company's 10,000 taels of silver shares were purchased on the plains in the northern Manila and have been retired.
At this moment, Zhang Wei looked at the crowd of civil servants with a look of ashamed expression on his face. The people around him became quiet. Zhang Wei left his seat and walked forward, knelt down on his knees in front of Yin Feng, and was about to kowtow.
Yin Feng jumped up immediately and quickly supported him: "Uncle Zhang doesn't have to do this. You are a hero of the Chinese company, so you don't have to do this."
Zhang Wei refused to stand up and cried: "Ship owner, I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to the company,"
Yin Feng shook his head and pulled up the soft and soft body of the old man Zhang Wei: "You are not sorry for me and the company, this matter has nothing to do with you,"
Zhang Wei suddenly stood up and opened his eyes wide: "Ship owner, you are as kind as a mountain to us. The little old man has today's blessings, and it is all your gift. I beg you to let my nephew go this time," he turned around. He shouted at one of the civil servants in the township, "A dog without conscience, don't you get out and kowtow to the ship owner,"
A civil servant in his 30s rolled and crawled to Yin Feng, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "... The ship owner spares his life, spares his life,"
Yin Feng looked at him and shook his head, "Zhang Jungui, whose courtesy name is Renxiao, has been the guardian of Luzon for 40 years. He was the first to be the supervisor of immigration and is currently the chief warehousing manager of the guardian of the Nanyang war. The Nanyang warfare is related to the overall safety of our company. He recruited various military supplies in Luzon. Material reserves should have started half a year ago. You use your power to smuggle materials in the market and deduct the amount of materials collected and used for other purposes. The amount involved is now about more than 10,000,"
"I deserve to die, ship owner, spare my life,"
Yin Feng pulled Zhang Wei who wanted to kneel down and said seriously: "Although you found your nephew and recommended it to me, I have found out that his mistake this time has nothing to do with you. Our Chinese Company Don't implicate the Nine Clans, two newly graduated interns from the Political Academy were interns at Zhang Jungui's Materials Administration Bureau, which made them discover your corruption and also found that your subordinates were in corruption. It was this Two young people reported you, and your corruption case was revealed. OK, Uncle Zhang, merit is merit, fault is fault, one code is one code, Zhang Jungui commits a crime, I deserve it, I will immediately entrust the court to guard the government's legal affairs. The Ministry is preparing to interrogate the case, and after conviction, it will enforce the Chinese company regulations,"
No matter how Zhang Wei asked for advice, he was even willing to take out all his shares and fields to the company for free, but Yin Feng was not allowed to pay any crime for any reason. This is the first large-scale case in the Chinese company-ruled region, involving multiple names. In the case of officials' corruption, these people were executed in the end, and were shot in front of the newly built Guandi Temple.
Yin Feng was kicked out of an important media unit because of reporting on corruption in his previous life. He was disgusted with corruption, so he mercilessly enforced the regulations he set. Afterwards, some people complained that he would not even think of the heroes. He angrily pushed back: "We haven't gotten the world yet. If we allow corruption to prevail now, then what's the difference between our world and the Ming Dynasty?"
After this, he established a policy of electing independent auditors in the council of the Taiwan Governor's council in Luzon and Taiwan to supervise the expenses of the Governor's council, and has the right to report directly to the general director of the company's board of directors and the president of the Chinese Army. All situations,
