Wei Youqing returned to the south and immediately sent people down, established the Pearl Island City Bo Division, and built a fan workshop in the location of the former Netherworld Forest. No matter who you are www.biquge.info you can build your own shop in the designated area of Fanfang, and as long as you pay taxes according to the regulations, the city will protect the interests of every merchant from being violated.

Merchants and fishmen trade freely, the transaction is clear and real, the two sides sign a contract, go to the city department for the record, and the city department set up a special yamen to manage these words. Those who violate the contract shall be supervised by the Municipal Department of Shipping, and the other party shall be compensated in strict compliance with the provisions of the contract.

The Municipal Ship Division is under the direct jurisdiction of the Cheng Temple, and in order to ensure that the officials of the City Ship Division can perform their duties normally, the Cheng Temple has set up a caravan guard. The caravan is woven according to the army, with five people and one army, and ten people and one tithe...... A total of 200 people. The officers are called captains, and even chiefs, up to two captains. This caravan was usually managed by two captains, and the supreme leader was naturally the priest of the Temple.

Wei Rong was ordered to form a guard to defend the temple, the structure is similar to the caravan, after Mi Li'er's people withdrew, because nearly half of the people brought by Wei Rong were all kinds of craftsmen, these people were not in the guard, but they were free to choose, either to stay in the temple organization to teach, or to go out and work alone.

Removing the quota of these people, the remaining more than 70 places will be selected and sent by each tribe, one for each tribe, and there is no limit to men and women. Due to the generous remuneration and noble status of the Templar Guards, this spot in each tribe has become a very sought-after item in the tribe, and it is generally obtained by the direct blood relatives of the tribal leader. This guard is usually managed by Wei Rong, and the supreme leader is naturally also a temple priest.

Since the south is a tribal alliance composed of 72 tribes, the annual sacrifice ceremony is the tribute day of the 72 tribes, because the tribes are rich and poor, so in the past, there were no strict regulations on the number of tributary items of each tribe in the temple, and it was all voluntary. Representatives of the tribes are now elected, and together with officials from the north, verification teams are formed to go to the tribes to verify the specific income and to determine the amount of tribute in proportion.

The reason why the amount of tribute is so strictly determined is that the southern tip of Pearl Island officially began to pay taxes to Lingnan on a pro rata basis. Because of the destruction of the ant tribe, the leaders of the various tribes really felt the strength of the garrison of the new island, and knew that this army that eliminated the pirates of the island overnight was not vegetarian. In addition, Wei Youqing's series of policies made the tribes rich in food and increased their income, so there was no objection to paying taxes to Lingnan.

The southern tip of Pearl Island began to pay taxes, which meant that King Lee Seung-woo of Chen had successfully governed Pearl Island. This is Lee Seung-woo's first successful political achievement, and for Lee Seung-woo, its significance is by no means measurable by a little bit of taxes.

Li Yuehua was also quite satisfied with Li Chengyu's little test this time, and he directly classified these three small islands as Li Chengyu's private territory, but Li Chengyu understood that without Wei Youqing, it would be impossible to maintain the operation of Pearl Island by force alone. Li Chengyu also noticed that Wei Youqing's affection for Pearl Island was extraordinary, so he invested so much effort and did everything possible to protect the island. Although he didn't understand why, he still assigned Pearl Island to Wei Youqing and named Wei Youqing the lord of Pearl Island.

The people around Li Chengyu, especially Xiaodouzi, Sun Boning and the Wu brothers, are also convinced by this, and what Wei Youqing has done for Pearl Island over the years is remarkable.

Wei Youqing was eleven years old this year, exactly three years after he became a priest on Pearl Island. He can be regarded as basically fulfilling the promise he made to his father-in-law and King Chen. Although there are still contradictions of one kind or another in the Pearl Island, and the north and the south are still facing each other, a bridge of activity has been built on that large trench and a free market has been formed. The southerners already knew the benefits of exchange, and gold, silver, cloth, silk and coins gradually entered the lives of the southerners.

Due to the freedom of trade and marriage between the north and the south, especially the gorgeous and colorful carp embroidered on the priest's back, the fishmen at the southern end of Pearl Island, who worship the priests more and more, no longer call themselves fishmen, but default to themselves as carp people, but only call themselves southerners, and northerners north of the trench.

All this is a story that happened silently in Lingnan, and in the documents of Da'an Palace reported by Lingnan to Luoyang, Kyoto, Pearl Island is still an uncivilized and wild land. Lingnan, the princely fief of the emperor who is far away, except for still paying taxes, the rest is like an iron bucket. In recent years, due to the migration of a large number of northerners to the south, the imperial court no longer chose Lingnan as a place of exile, but instead went to the north to defend the border.

Yongzhou Yuzhen Temple. Shangyang Zhenren, who has run out of oil and dried up, has reached the point of dying. Wei Youqing was finally able to entrust the affairs of the whole island to Nu Han, the chief manager of Pearl Island, and the steward team formed by Nu Han came to Yongzhou with Hua Xijian to visit his ancestor.

Although he knew that Shangyang Zhenren would change, Wei Youqing was still taken aback by Shangyang Zhenren's appearance. The once tall and sturdy Shangyang Zhenren is now like a monkey, shrunk in a specially made chair with wheels, his face and body are like dried dead tree bark, like the dried corpses of monkeys in the netherworld.

He could barely make a sound, his whole body was limp and could not move, his neck could not support his head, his head was tilted to the side, and saliva would flow out when he tried to speak. But he still struggled to give Wei Youqing and Hua Xi a smile, which made Wei Youqing's heart sour, and he threw himself into Shangyang Zhenren's arms and cried: "Youqing is not filial!" Youqing said that he would come to see the ancestor as soon as possible, but he didn't come until now! ”

Shangyang Zhenren's withered fingers moved, and Zhang Yueyin next to him understood, and put his hand on Wei Youqing's head. Shangyang Zhenren, who felt Wei Youqing's smooth long hair, had a relieved expression on his face. He looked at Hua Xijian who was standing on the side wiping his tears, and Wei Youqing hurriedly beckoned Hua Xijian to come over and kneel beside Shangyang Zhenren.

"Still sucking?"

Shangyang Zhenren's throat made a snoring sound, Zhang Yueyin came closer to listen carefully, and helped Shangyang Zhenren wipe away the saliva that flowed out, and helped Shangyang Zhenren translate, he didn't know who he said this to, so he could only look at the two of them back and forth.

Hua Xijian naturally knew what Shangyang Zhenren meant, and hurriedly cried and shook his head, and said incoherently: "Xijian has long stopped sucking that thing!" It's true! Don't believe you ask Youqing! She shook Wei Youqing's arm and asked Wei Youqing to testify for herself.

Shangyang Zhenren once again showed a relieved expression, his fingers moved, pointed to his chest, and looked at Zhang Yueyin. Zhang Yueyin understood, took out a letter from Shangyang Zhenren's arms, and handed it to Wei Youqing.
