Chapter 62 Follow-up and Trivia

Along with the warship came back was a detailed directory. The doctor studied it for half a night, but couldn't figure out why it was crooked. In the end, Kelsey helped him out, "It's all about warehouses and factories in Dayan. The nobles of the fang, they call the organization of the gentry."

"That's it, that is to say..."

"These people are only responsible for manufacturing goods, exploiting workers, and then they don't pay taxes. What General Shi means is that people in the world don't suffer from poverty but inequality. Only those who run business pay, while these landlords and gentry don't pay. Sooner or later, they will not go into business or give business channels to private chambers of commerce, but instead exploit merchants, so what he means is that we should pour dirty water on these people."

"What's the benefit?" The doctor wasn't surprised, and even thought this guy was a bit interesting. He used this method to cut off the bad trend of tax evasion in the country, and forced those gentry to pay as a whole.

"Plant one, and give us a three-point discount on the purchase price of the ship, with no upper limit"

"It seems that these people disgust this general enough." Obviously, if there are a few more planted here, the Mr. Governor will have to pay for it, but he doesn't care, the wool comes from the sheep, and the boat is sold How much money, this business is just looking at foreign wars to make some seasonal money.

With the help of these savages, those big manor owners and big gentry who thought that they would not run a business, annex land, and do shop and bed business street by street, would not be afraid of his threats.As for the impeachment and resistance of these people, he didn't care. With the military power in his hands, he didn't need to look at anyone's face.

The doctor looked through the accounts and the list again, and could only see two words crookedly, "to make money", how to make money?Do whatever you want?Whose money is it?Whoever has the money will do it!

"My lord, we really want..." The admiral made a cutting gesture when he returned, "Are those Sarkaz savages reliable?"

"I don't need them to be reliable, besides, there are us."

"Is that why brothers..."

"That's not okay. If those poor bones are squeezed out, there will be a few taels of oil. Isn't this old man begging for food on his knees? No, no."

"But, after all, those scholars who are heirs of poetry and etiquette...they are in the court..." The admiral was a little worried. This is different from investigating smuggling and making those high-ranking officials suffer from being dumb. This is true. If he allowed the enemy to enter the country, he would have to bear the responsibility.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've already made arrangements," the governor said cheerfully, "When have I ever disappointed my brothers?"

Indeed, since I came to Yuegang, the tax has been raised, and the local officials have greeted them with smiles; with the military expenses, the wives of the brothers in the camp don’t have to go out to show their faces to earn some sewing money; the fleet is also gradually maintained and overhauled, often training and fighting outside , People look a lot more energetic, Qiu Ba of the fleet is not very disturbing to the people because of their generous spending on the streets, and they have a bit of status and face.

In particular, you can look good in front of those colleagues in the garrison guards, and watch them pick and search for food and eat pig food. There are tooth sacrifices here every now and then-happiness is all compared, and those garrison generals have long been crazily ingratiating Commander-in-Chief, see if you can leak some oil residue from the cracks in your fingers.

"The guards in the garrison are also brothers. If the Sarkaz savages over there are on the road, bring those guards with them and let them earn some money to survive. Otherwise, it's a shame to be a soldier and let your wife and daughter laugh to survive!" Spit, "I feel uncomfortable staying with these embarrassing bastards, but the premise is still on the road."

"This privately built warship..."

"Did I build it privately? No, you go to the army and ask. Those two ships who didn't say that they were built 15 years ago during the late emperor's time, who dare to say that they were built, such idiots... "The general manager thought for a while, "Give him a difficult task, go to Montenegro to suppress bandits, there are many wild bandits over there."

"But Montenegro is not..." The new admiral stopped talking. Thinking about it carefully, this kind of "big cleverness" should really be sent to Montenegro to suppress bandits, so as not to say something that shouldn't be said in front of the superior .

"Then the matter of smuggling warships can't be covered with paper! Commander!" If this capable person is convicted and sent to prison, it's hard to say whether their next successor will have the courage.

"I am loyal to the emperor and serve the country. I can learn from the sun and the moon with my passion for serving the country. I haven't earned a martial arts title yet. How could I leave such a handle? Don't worry, it's safe."

Half a month later, it was difficult for Emperor Yan to pretend not to see such a serious crime of smuggling warships, especially who reported this matter?

The answer is: General Manager Shi reported the smuggling of warships with snot and tears, causing heavy losses to the frontier army, and the border security of Dayan is about to collapse. If nothing is done, something unbearable will happen sooner or later.

Well, if no one really cares, then something really happened that made the gentry intolerable. Dayan is also a sugar-producing country, and the location of the Leizhou sugar warehouse has already been checked by Kazdel and the others. No sugar will be handed over. tax, right?Once the fire is lit, you never have to pay again.

If you care about it, the list of plantings has been reported, and there will be a follow-up. What, can the black guards find out the evidence?What a joke, could it be that the armed ships in the hands of those caravans were grown in the ground?

Of course, what his subordinates said was correct, paper cannot cover fire, and the emperor will eventually know that he did it, but the emperor will not punish him. This is a kind of political wisdom. He should be given enough trust and protection.

Fortunately, the current Emperor Dayan is much better than his good-for-nothing brother. This kind of wisdom is tacitly shared by both parties. The emperor can use this as an excuse to remove his military power at any time. However, it is precisely because of this that his military power is as stable as Mount Tai. .

"Go, bring people, go collect money"

"It's copycats"

"Is there any difference between ransacking the house and collecting money?" The governor looked confused.

"The only way to copy a house is to copy it, and you can keep collecting money."

"That's right, copy it once, and then everyone who wants to eat the channel money here will have to pay me, otherwise I will have a lot of money to plant on their heads every day." It's not a capital crime of copying the family and exterminating the clan.

"However, His Majesty only ordered the rectification, arresting the chief criminals and bringing them to Beijing. He didn't mention ransacking the family and exterminating the family. General, this is not something we do outside the customs. This is inside the customs, which is extraordinary!"

"Who is the angel?"

"Husband Fan"

"Oh, old acquaintance, you send someone to tell him this number." The governor stretched out three fingers, and then lifted the other two fingers painfully, "This number!"

"Understood, Commander-in-Chief, I'll go right away!"

A few hours later, a certain mansion in Yuegang was kicked away by someone, "Where are your family members, come out and wait for your punishment!" Very arrogant.

"Where did you come from, Qiu Ba, this is also the place where you want to be presumptuous..."

"Touch!" The officer threw the empty hand cannon in his hand again, "Listen well, this rebel not only captured without letting go, but even gathered a crowd to resist. With Wubao as the center, our army had to use cannons to open the way and was soaked in blood. The fighting party was arrested and brought to justice, causing damage to the people and damage to the house is force majeure!"

"The folks have heard it. If there is any damage at home, go to the magistrate's office to receive compensation."

With a "hula", the peasants and craftsmen who were summoned by the steward disappeared completely, like mercury pouring down the ground, and they couldn't be stopped.

"Fire! The prisoner resisted fiercely, and our army took bullets to fight!" As for whether the opponent resisted, it didn't matter whether there was a dock, because the angel Eunuch Fan who came to announce was already shocked by the guns because "I can't see such a bloody fight." "To" had to live in the magistrate's yamen, under the care of the beautiful maid, drinking tea and listening to the opera, and the magistrate also wisely gave the palace eunuch enough money to shock him.

"This chief governor is really a person who is loyal to the emperor and the country. Unfortunately, there are too many corrupt officials in this world, and it is impossible to guard against." While saying righteous words, he stuffed the cash into his sleeve.

"Our family never imagined that these ambitious bastards dared to embezzle arms and gather crowds to resist the law. Is there any reason for this?" Eunuch Fan said angrily in a sharp voice, but there was no trace of anger on his face. The same small gold nugget was touched into the pocket, as well as the land deed and receipt that were not easy to realize for the governor.

I believe that this great eunuch who is favored in the palace has a way to make those debtors spit out all the money. Eunuchs, everyone in the world knows that "sincerity has no virtue", and it is normal for a group of eunuchs to do bad things.

It didn't take much effort to fight, and the "heinous" criminal "hanged his whole family" and his property was looted by "unknown people". Of course, after waiting for a few hours, the third class of government officials lazily appeared, and the dispersal was still in progress. Ordinary people who robbed scattered supplies on the ground and even destroyed their houses.

"The governor is wise. Prefect Zhang said earlier that he is expected to pay the excess tax ahead of schedule this year. He will speak well for you at the court."

"Hmph, if he doesn't even have this ability, then I have to find a way to find someone else to be the magistrate. Tell me, what's the difficulty of being a magistrate here? I'm more useful than him in court with a dog on a leash."

It’s really not difficult. Every year when you pay your taxes, you come to the governor’s office to ask for money. I have to give him a smile and give him respect.

Isn't it better to tie a dog than him? At least the dog won't make those gentry pay two taxes in order not to pay taxes, and they have to give extra filial piety, right?

And it is a bit difficult for those gentry to exploit the common people, the reason is that the profit from farming the land is low, and the profit from running a business is huge.

Moreover, the fleet is strong, and no one dares to annex their farmland—because Boss Shi really dares to let you hold the land deed, and you will not receive a penny of land rent, let alone send a person to your rent-collecting team will disappear mysteriously.

Therefore, when the land rent is raised, the tenant farmers will run to plant the fields in the army, and the sailors of the fleet will farm the land by themselves, but what about the farmland issued by the imperial court?Rent it to these common people to grow it, and charge some money, or simply plant it for your relatives, it's just pocket money.

"By the way, did you say hello to the shipyard? Outsiders belong to outsiders. When someone joins the team, they will take care of themselves. Let's not be too stingy. The stingy business will not last long."

"The shipyard has already reduced the payment for the goods, but the higher-ups may not be happy for them to continue building ships." It's tacit and tacit, and we can't just sit back and watch the country's assets flow out.

"Then come quietly, and those guys from the guards in the garrison should be dragged out for a walk, so let's say they did it." If you want to take advantage of it and don't take the blame, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

On Kazdel's side, new ships have entered service, but they are short of manpower and are still undergoing intense fleet training. At the same time, the majestic summer harvest has also begun to enter the rush harvest stage.

"Open the sickle!" The beaming mayor of Sati City cut the colored silk, and a row of harvesters rushed into the field. The golden wheat quickly turned into a mountain of wheat grains. In addition to the staple food, the harvest of cash crops was even more gratifying.

The diurnal temperature difference and daily accumulated temperature in Kazdale have resulted in a large-scale harvest of coffee, guarana and watermelon. The main fruits are grapefruit and pineapple, and a small piece of coconut that Lao Xia doesn’t know how to do is also harvested up.

"Huh~" The silver-haired Sarkaz girl straightened up, wiped off her sweat, and the car beside her was full of emerald green watermelons. This juicy and sweet fruit is also a luxury in Kazdale, let alone Longmen and Victoria. up. [Watermelon is a luxury fruit all over the world except in China]

"Mudyan, what are you doing in the watermelon patch?"

"Picking melons!" The Sarkaz girl replied simply, "Everyone, I'm too busy, I'll help." Except for the cubs who have entered the last two months, almost everyone is on the front line of the field or the factory, harvesting grain. It is a huge waste if you can't get it up or put it away and don't process it in time.

Even part of the front-line rest troops were taken to work in the field, which is called "recalling bitterness and thinking about sweetness education". Agriculture is a very optimistic industry, even if the Star Alliance can greatly reduce this impact , It is not completely without influence, so it is inevitable to rush to harvest before the sky changes.

Of course, no one cares about the impact of this kind of impact on Star Alliance agriculture. The lost production can be compensated by planting methods that ignore the four seasons and large-scale planting. There is no need to put the cart before the horse.

But here... anyone who has ever starved will not allow food to rot in the ground, even if it is an insignificant part of the total amount, the refugees who migrated are the most.

"Do you want to eat melon? It's super sweet." Mu Yan handed a Cucumber melon to the young Thearesia. That's right, W even copied the name.

"Well, thank you." The little guy gave half to Amiya who was watching, and then the two sat on the edge of the field and began to eat watermelon.

"W, you, have a task?" "No, on vacation" W is indeed on vacation, she has no serious job, and she can't stand this kind of supervision, so she is a guy who is free from the system.

"Where's Frost Star?"

"Catching people"

"Open the door, check the library" The warehouse door was pulled open by the snow monster with a cold face, and the frosty girl ignored the smiling manager, "100 bags were randomly inspected, and there was a problem with one bag, and everyone sat down! "

Immediately, the manager's face turned green, and his footsteps began to move, but bumped into an iron wall, "Where are you going, brother?" The snow monster kindly arranged his clothes for him, and then slipped around.

"Report, four bags of new grain were found to have been mixed with old grain."

"Take it away!" The white rabbit turned his head, "The next one!"

Chapter 63 I Can't Live By Myself

Yelena is now transferred to the agricultural department, and during the summer harvest, the agricultural department's most important job is to ensure the smooth harvest and storage. At that time, it was normal to check the storage problem by the way, and the rights and responsibilities have not yet been clearly defined. things.

Then something went wrong after checking, the gallows was overcrowded, but Yelena, who was Boss Xia's adopted daughter and had a special service team under her command, was not afraid of any threats or wins, let alone who would not cooperate or cause trouble.

All those found out will be hanged, and those who cannot be found out and have problems will be expelled directly with the label of "distrust". Regarding this kind of thing, Tallulah has said it several times, but in the end she still decided to fight hard , while other high-level officials did not speak.

After all, I just did business with this group of people in Dayan. Everyone knows that if you can't punch hard at the beginning, the situation will only get worse later on. Of course, throwing heavy punches will also make the situation worse. tricky and hidden.

"So, I recently asked Johnny to help write an automated storage program, which can immediately enter the covert alarm process when something goes wrong."

"Technology can't solve all problems. After all, technology itself is not without loopholes." The doctor shook his head, "In this regard, I think Yelena has done a good job. You can consider announcing that if the cost of manpower management rises, the storage department will collectively lay off employees and change the management system." into an automated management system.”

"It can't be done." Lao Xia had a headache. Terra's drones were all remote controlled. Otherwise, why would the doctor waste his sanity to charge the drones?

The essence is still a source stone device. If it is the Star Alliance, [-]% of the warehousing and logistics are automated, and you can't see it—ah, except for retail stores, which want retro style and shopping. happy.

However, Terra cannot achieve this effect in the short term. "It's very simple. It's just a threat. If one person loses his job, then everyone won't have to eat. As for the consequences..."

There is no consequence, the front line needs a lot of big soldiers, Tracys needs a lot of strong men, ice mining, engineering, mining and even farming require a lot of manpower, regardless of the high degree of automation and mechanization of agriculture, but this means There are not many people who want to maintain this system.

This is why many people used to think that when a high-efficiency machine appeared, a large number of people would be unemployed, which aroused the resentment of workers and triggered the famous "Luddite Movement" in history.

As a result, facts have proved that the emergence of new industries and new machines, although reducing the number of workers in a single industry, created more new industries and new jobs, which in turn helped reduce unemployment and increase wages.

If these are not good enough for this job, some of them will be given jobs after being downgraded, and some will even be given to them as coolies, and if they don’t even want to do the hard work, then the refugees who are waiting to be reviewed for entry at the border probably don’t mind having one more or several more The post came out, and Tracy didn't mind making more corpses or capturing more slaves to squeeze.

As for international voices and attempts to defect, don’t even think about it. Let’s not talk about the practice of sealing borders in theaters. It is written in big characters on the face - it really dares to send you a pink fur bunny express, and it is not afraid of any international voices to condemn it.

It’s the same as on Earth. The people of Terra have the courage to beep on forums or social occasions. It’s really embarrassing for the barbarians, and then they have the courage to beat them up. At present, only scholars in Dayan have the courage.

It’s just hard to say whether they are truly courageous, or simply ignorant and therefore fearless. At least the really smart people in Dayan will not do this kind of thing in person. Most of them are fooled into doing this kind of thing as a weapon for others. kind of.

"All right"

"Speaking of which, how is your wife?"

"In the middle of post-surgery rehabilitation." The separation operation was performed around 6 months after the fetus was transplanted into an artificial uterus for cultivation. At present, it is a girl. It may be because of the genetic adjustment of the Terra people that the Y chromosome cannot be compatible with the fetus. If the X chromosome completes the combination, resulting in natural fertility, the offspring must be female.
