Embezzling sixty taels of peeling skin and grass, this is a rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao.

Who said that he Liu Hongjian was a destroyer of the ancestral system, no, this king is a staunch follower of the ancestral system!

After Liu Hong finished speaking, Huang Daozhou hadn't done much, after all, this guy had already known, but Yang Liu and Zhong Bin, who were sitting on the side, were frightened.

The two looked at each other with horror in each other's eyes, and it seemed that they would have to have a good meeting with the brothers when they returned.

"This king will be jointly watched by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the tax department and the patrol department will also have self-inspection officials, in addition to these three parties, they will also accept reports from the people and businessmen.

If it is found that the report of the people and merchants is valid, the whistleblower shall be rewarded with two silver taels, and the silver tael shall be taken from the bribe-accepted amount, and half of the bribe-accepted amount shall be counted, and the other half shall be included in the tax. Liu Hong said after thinking about it carefully.

"The prince is clever! If these tricks are really followed, I am afraid that every official of the tax yamen will have to weigh it carefully before he moves his mind. If Huang Daozhou gradually admired Liu Hong just now, now he admires it.

"It's just the prince, what if those people and merchants report indiscriminately?" Zodiac Zhou immediately threw out new questions.

Businessmen pursue profits, and do everything to bring down their competitors, and the people are even more difficult to do, and the poor people can't do anything?

"Well, Lord Huang has heard a proverb, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!" Liu Hongjian said directly.

"If the tax department verifies that the reported person has not collected additional fees in violation of regulations, and the whistleblower cannot produce strong evidence, the whistleblower shall be punished by the reported person!" Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

"That is to say, if the whistleblower accuses an official of an additional tax of more than 60 taels, or accuses an official of accepting bribes of more than 60 taels, then the whistleblower will be punished by stripping the skin and grass?"

"Lord Huang, your Luo Ji's thinking ability is not bad, that's what it means." Liu Hong gradually teased.

Maybe it would be too domineering to deal with it in later generations, but this is in the Ming Dynasty, the provisions of the punishment are the final say of the court, Xiao Zhu has the final say, and he has the final say, and there is no need to listen to the opinions of the people in the punishment.

High salaries and increased punishment are things that Liu Hongjian has always wanted to do and has always been doing.

In his opinion, those who are officials must fulfill their duties and do things for the court and the people, if they want to make a fortune, they should simply not be an official through the imperial examination, and how good is it to be a businessman?

Please go other ways to get promoted and get rich, don't enter this door for corruption and bribery, if you dare to be greedy, the court will dare to peel the skin, don't believe you try.

Liu Hong gradually said a word to the two people of the Zodiac Road, and Yang Liu and Zhong Bin on the side were stunned when they listened, they couldn't be provoked, they couldn't be provoked!

Five days later, Yang Liu and Zhong Bin rushed to Quanzhou with their brothers and hundreds of broken wooden boats.

And their black, gray, and white flags are all old ships that received the Zheng family's retreat, and every time Yang Liu, Zhong Bin, and Li Kuiqi had to grab their heads and break the bloodstream.

Liu Hongjian couldn't bear to look at their ships directly, many of them had holes in their decks, and the guns on the bridge looked like black chimneys because they had not been replaced and maintained for a long time.

Look at these legendary pirates, they are completely different from what they saw in a certain movie in later generations, all of them are dressed in tatters, and because they stay on the island for a long time, they lack the injection of vitamins such as vegetables, and they all look wrong.

Dozens of boats behind were also pulling the families and belongings of these pirates, and everyone trembled when they saw the Sichuan soldiers carrying weapons.

"Lord Qiqi, we have brought all the troops, a total of 11,208 soldiers." Yang Liu, Yang Qi, and Zhong Bin came to report in wartime armor.

"Well, it looks pretty good, hard work." Liu Hong gradually comforted.

"However, it must be simplified, according to the Great Ming Law, those who are disabled, under the age of 16 or over the age of 35, must be withdrawn from the army.

Lord Huang, I beg you to properly resettle the families of these soldiers in Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, and other places, and allocate some acres of land according to the actual situation. Liu Hong gradually turned his head and said to the three of them.

"Lord Hui, we have already counted the number of soldiers who are physically inconvenient and whose age does not meet the regulations of the imperial court, and there are a total of 9,608 soldiers who can fight." Yang Liu immediately took out an account from the hands of his subordinates behind him and handed it to Liu Hongji.

"Well, yes, yes, very conscious." Liu Hong gradually took the notebook and flipped through it casually.

The families of the Patrol Division are located in the coastal interior, while the Patrol Division is not entirely located in various customs locations.

According to the standard of the border army, the soldiers of the patrol division are paid according to the standard of the border army, in addition to taking care of food and shelter, etc., according to the different types of troops, at least three taels of silver per month, as soon as the news is issued, the entire pirate regiment drinks and cheers.

Dividing the land, distributing silver, and still being an official, it was a gift from heaven to these pirates from poor families, and as soon as the order spread, the families and soldiers of Hulala Slow Beach knelt down to thank Liu Hong.

10,000 soldiers of the Patrol Division is not enough to cope with the security of the entire coast, and at least 10,000 more needs to be recruited.

According to Liu's plan, the customs will be divided into four customs, each of which will have a tax department, and a patrol department of at least 1,000 people will be assigned to assist in the prevention and handling of disputes.

The four tax departments will be under the control of the General Taxation Department, and the Yamen of the General Taxation Department will be located in Guangzhou Mansion, which will be destined to be the most prosperous place for trade due to its geographical location closer to the South Seas, and will be personally seated by Huang Daozhou.

In addition to the permanent soldiers stationed in Siguan, the Patrol Division will establish military bases on many islands in the Daming Sea, which will be responsible for patrolling the entire South China Sea and providing necessary supplies to merchant ships.

Of course, supplies cost money.

Whether it is the General Taxation Department and the sub-taxation departments of the four customs, they are all only imaginary at present, and the officials, manpower, and even the government offices are still imaginary.

The construction of coastal forts, the supervision of cannons, the expansion of the patrol division, and the replacement of warships and muskets......

It is conceivable that in the next few months, the Qin family brothers, Huang Dacang, Yang Liu, Zhong Bin and others will be very busy.

In line with the criterion that the shopkeeper who can't shake his hands is not a good leader, Liu Hong gradually became idle, and also took Dong and Li Ernu to the luxury villa in Anping, and lived a life of a golden house without shame.

It wasn't until a few days later that the huge sea brought the imperial decree from the capital......

PS: Popularize the knowledge of Shanghai's place names, I forgot to talk about it before, Shanghai, the Spring and Autumn Period belonged to the Wu State, and the Warring States Period belonged to the Chu State Chun Shenjun Fengyi, from the Jin Dynasty because of the creation of fishing gear began to call Shanghai.

During the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty, it began to be called Shanghai Pu, and during the Xianchun period of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was called Shanghai Town, and in the twenty-ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1292), Shanghai set up a county, marking the beginning of the establishment of Shanghai.
