Striking while the iron was hot, taking advantage of the opportunity for the villagers under Hongmen to take the long-awaited land ownership certificate in their hands and have the best attitude towards Hongmen, Li Tianyang also announced the tax strategy of the entire Hongmen subordinates.

Combined with the current tax collection method of the Ming Dynasty, Hongmen wrote the grain tax standard of ten taxes and one into the notice, if it is based on the standard of thirty taxes and one in the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the tax collection is too high.

However, the grain tax in Hongmen included all other servitude, and in addition to the grain tax, the people under Hongmen no longer had to pay other taxes or serve other levies.

In the end, in comparison, the tax collection here in Hongmen is more convincing to the people, and at the same time, the list on them is too light.

Of course, in addition, there is also commercial tax, the same ten taxes and one commercial tax method, for ordinary people, it is of little significance, even if someone opens a wine shop teahouse everything, because all they earn is scattered money and silver, Hongmen gives a standard for this kind of small teahouse and wine shop, and then it is bad to buy and sell with them.

Even if it is a one-size-fits-all standard, the worst liquor store in this business does not feel that this commercial tax burden is on them, and the only thing that makes them uncomfortable is that compared with it in the Ming Dynasty, it is more generous taxes.

But it doesn't matter, after all, there are no big merchants among the people under the command of Hongmen who can compete with Hongmen, even if everyone feels uncomfortable, but they will not really find Hongmen because of this, the idea of the people not fighting with the officials has long been deeply rooted in their minds, and it is not easy to make them change their old thinking.

Even Li Tianyang was skeptical about the establishment of the inspection department, so he joined the installment of the report mailbox as a way to make up for the people's thinking. Even so, Li Tianyang is not very confident that the people will be the first to stand up and report the outlaws of Hongmen, and he will have to rely on time and publicity of the policy to change everyone's minds.

As for other businesses and seafarers outside Hongmen, even if they are unwilling and want to negotiate with Hongmen about business taxes, I'm sorry, Li Tianyang really doesn't want to deal with them, and if you want to do business on Hongmen's territory, you can only listen to our arrangement.

If it was just this little thing, it would not be possible for Li Tianyang to take advantage of the elation of the villagers to launch a charter that had already been actually implemented in Hongmen on the occasion of the villagers' elation and praise of Hongmen.

The most important thing was also wrapped in these announcements by Li Tianyang and pushed out, but even after everyone was grateful to Hongmen for giving them a life of food and clothing, this rule still exploded in everyone's hearts.

The regulations that have aroused everyone's attention, and even some people's hearts are shaking, are actually just a few sentences: Under the command of Hongmen, all men who have reached the age of 18 must obey the summons of Hongmen and undergo necessary military training, and those who are qualified must serve in the naval division, defense force, security team and other units for more than two years.

There is no way, since Hongtang has fought on the battlefield over the years, and most of the adult men under Hongmen who have been attracted by Hongtang's generous treatment have died in the battlefield, these villagers under Hongmen are no longer willing to send their children to the army.

So now, for the sake of the problem of the source of soldiers, Li Tianyang has made unremitting efforts to let Qi San recruit people in the interior of the Daimyo at any cost, and on the other hand, he has hit the idea on the natives.

However, the recruitment of Qi San's side has not stopped, but except for those desperate villagers, who is willing to leave their hometown and come to this barren island; And Da'an, Daxing and other strongholds, although they are not the focus of Hongmen's current development, but you can't always waste these strongholds that have a bit of a look, when it's time to add manpower, you still have to add manpower, at least let these two places have a look, right?

As the most difficult language in the world to learn, many natives can only understand some simple daily language, and if they want to know the rules and obey orders, they need an instructor who can understand and proficiently use local language and Chinese to lead them.

But in this way, it is necessary to organize some of the recruited aborigines into a team, so that it can be easy to manage, although the members of the Hongmen have been coming to Dayuan Island for eleven years, and they have a lot of friendship with the natives, but there are not many talents in the team who can speak fluent Turkish, where can they support the translation of the entire team.

Not to mention between indigenous tribes and indigenous tribes, many of them have different races, different regions, and different pronunciations, which brings a lot of trouble.

The natives are organized into a single force, although they have strengthened the armed forces of the Hongmen, but they are also a threat invisibly, who can know what they think in their hearts, it is really as they showed, although the Hongmen are respectful!

You know, these are all free and unruly natives, who want them to be tamed and tamed, and have Li Tian to raise them to continue to work hard!

Therefore, in order to dilute the ranks of the natives and allow them to integrate into the life of Hongmen more quickly and accept the education of Hongmen, Hongmen's own team must also remain strong and occupy the majority, so as to deter this group of natives.

Besides, in the future, if the Hongmen armed forces go out to deal with a certain answering opponent, and finally have to rely on the Hongmen to stay in a few places and let the people defend their homes by themselves, then it is not a wrong thing to let them understand some military theories and tactics in advance.

Hongmen is now considered a prince, but to be honest, it is still very weak compared to other dependent kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Ryukyu Kingdom, which relied heavily on Hongmen at this moment, still threw off a few streets of Hongmen in terms of population base, development land area, and commercial and agricultural taxes, and the only thing they lacked was the military that they did not pay attention to.

But look at King Shangfeng, who is now in power, and pay a little attention to military investment and recruitment, but in the rest of the year, there are already nearly 10,000 troops available, and the background is much stronger than Hongmen.

Therefore, Li Tianyang thought that Hongmen could make all the people soldiers, so that his base camp could be foolproof, at least when facing opponents stronger than himself, he would have the strength to fight.

From the time when he wrote the "Declaration of Democracy" and defected to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, Li Tianyang was prepared for the worst, always ready to face the turn of face from the Ming Dynasty and guard against the offensive of the powerful Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these considerations must be the worst and worst results, and in the real situation, the probability of occurrence is less than 1 in 10,000, but Li Tianyang also needs to take this 1 in 10,000 possibility into account.
