Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

The matter concerning the arsenal was thus settled.

The specific matters can be discussed later.

Then Mao Wenlong continued: "You should quickly gather talents from all walks of life, send some people over to explore the minerals, and determine the preliminary mining plan.

In preparation for the establishment of the arsenal later, if the arsenal can be put into production earlier, it will be beneficial to both of us. "

The Chief of Staff: "No problem. When I go back to report the situation, I will also report this matter and ask my superiors to send someone over as soon as possible..."

Mao Wenlong: "Then, let's discuss the second important issue, which is to send a team to the Ming Dynasty to recruit a large number of refugees to fill Liaodong and the Goryeo Peninsula.

This can not only provide us with labor, but also allow those refugees who cannot survive to have a way to survive. However, in this process, we must prevent enemy spies and agents from sneaking in.

In addition, in addition to recruiting a large number of refugees, we also need to go to the Ming Dynasty and find ways to "invite" talents from all walks of life to come here. After all, it is useless to leave talents to Emperor Chongzhen, so it is better to invite them to shine here..."

Shang Kexi: "If the prince wants to invite someone, just give us the specific information and I promise to invite them all."

Mao Wenlong: "We have quite a few people to invite this time, so it would be best to use the opportunity of recruiting refugees to secretly invite these talents from all walks of life.

Otherwise, if others knew about it, there would definitely be twists and turns. Some people would rather destroy the talent than let it come to us to play a role.

Therefore, the intelligence department must fully cooperate and try to invite people here smoothly..."

……

After discussing the two most important things.

The next step is to reward the generals under his command.

Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are the other three.

They were all conferred the title of one-star general, each commanding a Class A corps.

The remaining Zhou Wenhuang, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan, Chen Zhong, Li Jingxian, Yang Yuwei, Shan Jinzhong, Liu Aita, as well as Zheng Fengshou and others were promoted to lieutenant generals.

These nine people will each lead a Class B corps.

Another one is Mao Chenglu.

The level is the same as Zhou Wenhuang and Chen Jisheng.

However, Mao Chenglu was in charge of Mao Wenlong's guards.

The Guards Corps is also a Class A Corps...

This brings us to the issue of military system reform.

The military organization in the world of Bright Sword may not be applicable in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, the organization here in the late Ming Dynasty was too complicated.

What about small flags, general flags, hundred households, thousand households, etc.

Especially for officials above the rank of thousand households, it is really cumbersome.

Mao Wenlong reformed the military system in a simple and crude way.

10 people make a squad, 10 squads make a platoon, 10 platoons make a company, and 10 companies make a battalion.

With this organization, a platoon would consist of 100 people and a company would consist of more than 1000 people.

A battalion consists of more than 1 people.

The A-class corps has ten battalions, the B-class corps has six battalions, and the C-class corps has three battalions...

Of course.

Mao Wenlong and his men’s current military strength.

It is definitely impossible to form more than 10 corps.

So now we just need to put the framework up.

The insufficient troops will be replenished slowly later...

……

Another thing is tax reform.

The territory ruled by Mao Wenlong.

Directly implement the policy of equalizing the land tax.

Agricultural taxes are all levied on the amount of land, not on the number of people.

And this policy applies equally to everyone.

Whether they are civil officials, military generals, or ordinary people.

All taxes must be paid according to the policy.

No one has the privilege of tax exemption.

In addition to agricultural taxes, there are salt taxes, mining taxes and commercial taxes.

Salt and minerals go without saying.

Ordinary people simply cannot afford to operate and mine.

Those who can get involved in these industries are people with a certain status and strength.

Since you have a certain status and strength.

There is definitely no poor person left.

You are not a poor person, but you still have the nerve to not pay taxes? Are you tired of living?

The commercial tax rate in the Ming Dynasty was 30:1.

It only comes down to about 3%, less than 4% tax rate.

Even with this, we can’t even collect commercial taxes!

The commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty became a mere decoration and a joke...

However, Mao Wenlong directly set the commercial tax at 6%.

This 6% is still the lowest tax rate.

Goods that are intended for wealthy consumers are taxed at a higher rate.

For example, various fine wines, various spices, gorgeous silks, high-end porcelain and other commodities.

The tax rate is around 30% of sales.

Commercial taxes are also applied equally to all.

Whether it is the business run by ordinary small vendors or the business of Mao Wenlong and civil and military ministers.

All taxes must be paid according to the rules.

Anyone who dares to evade taxes will be punished ten times more severely.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

In order to prevent people from colluding with each other and taking advantage of the situation to gain benefits.

Mao Wenlong also introduced the crime of embezzlement and bribery.

Anyone who engages in corruption or accepts bribes will be severely punished.

More importantly, the crime of bribery was introduced, and the punishment for bribers is twice as severe as that for bribe-takers.

This will maximize.

Avoid people with bad intentions.

Deliberately trying to win over and corrupt officials at all levels...

……

After Mao Wenlong became king.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to proclaim himself king and establish a system.

A series of policies have been introduced.

Major reforms were carried out on many military and political systems.

Because many things are hardest at the beginning.

If no corresponding major policies are formulated at the beginning.

It will be very difficult to change later.

Now let’s put the frame up.

Only in the future can we achieve a comprehensive and comprehensive plan...

After all the important matters have been discussed.

Mao Wenlong discussed with everyone again.

Who should be sent as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty?

After all, Mao Wenlong sent an envoy this time.

In fact, it involves great risks.

Because no one knows Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Will he go crazy because Mao Wenlong proclaimed himself king?

What if the Ming Dynasty detained him?

Some were even imprisoned and beheaded.

That would be such a not worthwhile death!

Shang Kexi: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. I only need to bring a company of soldiers (more than a thousand people) with me."

Kong Youde: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go on a diplomatic mission to the Ming Dynasty. The specific arrangements are entirely up to you."

Geng Zhongming: "I am willing to share your worries..."

Zhou Wenhuang: "I am willing to go..."

Although I know there will be certain risks.

But the generals under Mao Wenlong.

They still requested to be sent as envoys to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing everyone so positive.

Mao Wenlong didn't know who to send.

Unexpectedly, the Chief of Staff also came to join in the fun: "Dragon King, can you let me go with the envoy team? I also want to contribute to our common cause.

By the way, let's go meet Emperor Chongzhen and see if he is really that unbearable. "
