Of course, Li Yuntian didn't know that Li Shan was the son of Keiko Yamaguchi, and he didn't even know that Keiko Yamaguchi had become a mother, because the information related to the Wa Kingdom that was sent to him didn't mention it at all.

When Cui Hui met with Chen Guangzong, Li Yuntian had already left the port of Fuzhou for his next destination, the port of Guangzhou.

Guangzhou Port is also a dual-use port, different from Fuzhou Port, Guangzhou's military port belongs to the Seawolf Fleet, one of the three major fleets of the Ming Army's naval division, and is a sub-base of the Seawolf Fleet.

The base of the Seawolf Fleet is in the multi-harbor of Jiaozhi, which is responsible for maritime security from Guangzhou to the multi-port area, and also often cruises on the Nanyang Shipping Route, which is the largest of the three fleets under the jurisdiction of the Daming Naval Division.

In addition to the port of Guangzhou, Li Yuntian also had to go to Qiongzhou Island to see the resettlement of the island, and in his opinion, Qiongzhou Island, like Xiaoliuqiu Island, had important coastal defense value for the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Guangdong political envoy is adjacent to the Guangxi political envoy, it is greatly affected by the new policy implemented by Li Yuntian in Jiaozhi, and the number of people who apply for the martial arts examination every year ranks in the forefront of all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and commerce is booming.

Li Yuntian is very pleased with this, which means that his new policies can be promoted in Daming, but it will take time.

Originally, Li Yuntian did not plan to stay in Guangzhou City for a long time, but he was attracted by a case, so he postponed his departure.

The case itself is not complicated, but Li Yuntian feels that it is very representative, this case occurred in a county near the city of Guangzhou, a cloth factory in the county town was smashed by a large local family, injuring the owner of the cloth factory.

After hearing the case, the local county government believed that the owner of the cloth factory used high salaries to lure strong young laborers to work, and then wasted the local crops, and the people took food as the sky, and farming was the first priority of the Ming Dynasty, so they ruled that the cloth factory terminated the contract with the recruited men, and the big family only paid the cloth factory owner a little medical expenses.

The so-called people do not fight with the officials, if the boss of the cloth factory in the past must think that he is unlucky, but now the situation is different, and the Ming Dynasty has a business bureau in charge of commercial affairs.

Therefore, the owner of the cloth factory found the commercial house of the county government and asked the people of the commercial house to make decisions for them, after all, he was both law-abiding and paid taxes on time and in full, and should be protected by the commercial house.

It is worth mentioning that the commercial house is under the dual leadership of the upper-level commercial bureau and the local county government, to be precise, it is under the leadership of the upper-level commercial bureau, but it has the obligation to cooperate with the local county government.

After receiving the complaint of the owner of the cloth factory, the commercial house of the county government found the magistrate of the county, and thought that the verdict of the magistrate was a little inappropriate, because the reason why the big family sent people to smash the fabric factory was because the tenants who had rented their land went to work in the cloth factory, so that the land of the big family was uncultivated, so he led people to teach the cloth factory owner a lesson.

According to the meaning of the county government commercial house, the waste of the land of the large families should be blamed on the large households, not the owners of the cloth factories, and the tenants have the right to choose the career they like without violating the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.

The magistrate of the county government also felt that it made sense, after all, the wages given by the cloth factory were far more than the income of the tenants from planting land for a year, so they naturally chose to work for the cloth factory, only in this way could they pay the silver of the imperial court and make a living.

However, the magistrate knew that the big family was entrenched in the local Guanxi and was difficult to deal with, and the background of the commercial house was also very hard, so he reported it to the government in order not to offend both sides.

The people of the government are naturally biased towards large households, and the land tax collected by the government needs to be paid by large households, and if no one plants the fields, it will definitely affect their taxes, so it is reasonable to determine that the judgment of the county is reasonable, after all, ensuring grain production is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, and if everyone runs to work, then there will be no grain harvest.

The government must have stopped working on the commercial houses, believing that the abandonment of the fields was the responsibility of the large families, and that they should find a way to recruit people to cultivate the land, rather than destroy the production of the cloth factory.

Due to the different interests of the two sides, the government and the government and the business houses of the government competed against each other, and neither of them was willing to back down, and the matter naturally went to the Guangzhou Political Envoy and the Guangzhou Commercial Bureau.

The Canton political envoy supported the ruling of the government government, arguing that the people were dependent on food, so agricultural affairs were more important than commercial affairs, and that the actions of the cloth factory owners had undermined agricultural production.

The Guangzhou Commercial Bureau, on the other hand, argued that the people who sabotaged agricultural affairs were the big families, and that they were the masters of heaven and earth, and should be responsible for the desolation of heaven and earth.

Since the political envoy of Guangzhou did not have administrative power over the Guangzhou Commercial Bureau, there was no way to make the Guangzhou Commercial Bureau submit, and the two sides could only stalemate there.

This case caused great concern to the merchants in Guangzhou, because they were now more or less in trouble recruiting workers, and with the prosperity of society, commerce has developed greatly, and the merchants needed manpower to expand production, so they had conflicts with the local large landlord class.

To tell the truth, the wages offered by the merchants were far more than those earned by the tenants for a year of hard work, and they were naturally welcomed by the common people, but in this way they harmed the interests of the landlord class, and the contradictions between the two sides became increasingly intense.

In fact, not only in the city of Guangzhou, but also in Guangxi, where Li Yuntian was the governor, in addition to the practice of "dividing the land into the mu" and Guangxi, where commerce developed rapidly, such as Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangnan, there were more or less entanglements of interests between the merchants and the landlord class.

The reason why this kind of thing did not occur in Guangxi was because Li Yuntian had always served as the governor of Guangxi and Jiaozhi, so under his guidance, this contradiction was resolved, and the big landlord class began to set up industries one after another to make up for the lack of agriculture.

After the imperial court sent down the imperial envoy arrived in Guangzhou City, the Guangzhou political envoy handed over the case of the smashed cloth factory to the imperial envoy, after all, this case involved agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, which was beyond the scope of the Guangzhou political envoy's ability.

The Inspector Yushi was also dumbfounded after receiving this case, this is not a case of corruption and murder, and the two parties involved represent the agricultural and commercial taxes of the imperial court, which makes it difficult for him to try it.

Fortunately, Li Yuntian came to Guangzhou Port to inspect, so he naturally reported the case to Li Yuntian to see what Li Yuntian had instructions.

In fact, in Li Yuntian's view, this case is very normal, and the development of commerce will naturally attract a large number of laborers, and at this time, the owners of the land need to make changes, rather than trying to forcibly keep those laborers.

To tell the truth, those big landlords didn't care about the impact of the abandoned fields on the imperial court, they just cared about their own interests.

It is just that those big landlords are closely related to their vital interests, and they naturally want to support those big landlords in order to stabilize the agricultural tax revenue of the yamen.

In the final analysis, the local yamen of the Ming Dynasty had a great deal of tax power, and except for a small part of the tax revenue that was handed over to the treasury of the Ministry of Households, the rest remained in the local government to pay for the cost of the operation of the local yamen, which gave the officials the opportunity to do their own thing.

As the most important agricultural tax in the local government, it is not only related to the operation of the local yamen, but also the main source of oil and water for officials at all levels.

Therefore, Li Yuntian knew very well that the root cause of the antagonism between agricultural tax and commercial tax was the tax system in which the local and central governments collected taxes separately since Emperor Taizu had been implemented by the Ming Dynasty, and if this system was not changed, the contradiction between the agricultural tax representing local interests and the commercial tax representing the interests of the central government would be irreconcilable.

Li Yuntian was originally thinking about how to propose to the imperial court to reform the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, but now this case in Guangzhou City just gave him this opportunity, so he stayed in Guangzhou City for two more days and collected the information of this case as an example in his hands, and he could present evidence in the imperial court at that time.

In order to reconcile the two parties, he adopted a compromise method, that is, let the big family invest in the cloth factory, so that the two parties became collaborators.

At the same time, the owner of the cloth factory paid for the purchase of a part of the land of the large family, which was equivalent to the exchange of resources in the hands of the two parties.

The profit of the cloth factory far exceeded the land rent, and Li Yuntian presided over justice, so the big family bought the resources in each other's hands with the boss of the cloth factory according to Li Yuntian's proposal, which not only ensured that the cloth factory had enough manpower, but also allowed the big family to use the lower land rent to recruit new tenants, and both parties were very happy.

Although this method seems to be effective in easing the contradictions between the two sides involved, in Li Yuntian's view, this is a method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and if the source of the dispute between agricultural tax and commercial tax is not resolved, this contradiction will become more and more intense.

Therefore, the reform of the Ming tax system is imminent, and Li Yuntian knows that it will touch the interests of vested interests, but like the Wei system, it has hindered the social and economic development of the Ming Dynasty and must be abolished.

When Ming Taizu formulated the tax law, he thought about some problems too simply, just like the self-sufficiency of Wei's system, Ming Taizu always wanted to let the following yamen solve the matter, but he didn't know that the greater the power he delegated, the more serious the problems inside.

When Li Yuntian left Qiongzhou Island, it was already the end of July, and he ordered the Mingyang to return to Yangzhou at full speed, preparing to return to Yangzhou before 15 August, so that he could catch up with the Jiangnan Oiran Conference held in Yangzhou and have fun with the people.

Like Xiaoliuqiu Island, Li Yuntian was also very satisfied with the resettlement of Qiongzhou Island, and the military attaches of the Wutang worked hard and fulfilled their respective tasks conscientiously, which made Qiongzhou Island undergo earth-shaking changes, and the people lived comfortably, so that he could rest assured.

Wendu was very surprised that Daming had two such large islands, and after learning about the history of Xiaoliuqiu Island and Qiongzhou Island, he also admired Li Yuntian very much, and it was not easy to make the lives of the residents of the two islands normal in just five or six years.

Especially those tanned military attachés of the Martial Arts Hall, how Wendu wished that he could also have such good subordinates, with the ability to govern the two barren islands in an orderly manner, so that there would be no rebellion in the Timurid Empire.

Wen knew that Li Yuntian brought him to Jiangnan to show him the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and there was resistance in his heart at the beginning, but after witnessing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, he felt that he should thank Li Yuntian, which made him benefit a lot and learned a lot of things.

After returning to the Timurid Empire, Wendu will promote communication between the Timurid Empire and the Ming Dynasty, and he prefers to be friends with the Ming rather than become enemies.
