Chapter 1392: The Mighty Dragon Town is stubborn

Although Mai Ke has taken many measures to fundamentally transform and prevent behavior, he is still not very at ease with the people of this island country.

Although in his time, the essence of this Dongying Island native was still fully displayed as in later generations, but this does not mean that Mai Ke did not know them deeply.

As the most knowledgeable and conscientious representatives, McCork will not be misled by their meekness in times of vulnerability.

Therefore, Maiko is determined to give them an environment that is suitable for them to survive, but also to limit their bad mental outbursts.

Among other things, the role of these two dams is crucial.

The purpose of his two dams, this vast East China Sea area, is to lock the possible harm of this island nation in a cage forever!

The first is the dam on the east side, which acts as a wall enclosing the people of the major island nations.

Like a vicious dragon, it watches over the daily lives of those people every day.

If they keep to themselves, then everything will be fine and fine.

And this dam can also provide protection for the two people, and Mai Ke also said that, with this dam, they do not have to worry about invasion from the west, all invaders will be wiped out west of the dam.

In fact, this is also the main basis for McCor to levy taxes on them.

Since the dam provides them with safety guarantees, and devotes a part of their income to bear the costs of construction, maintenance, and protection personnel, is that a matter of course?

In fact, McCor didn't use their money at all, and that money was not enough at all, not to mention that the money for building the dam, which slaughtered all their people and sold them for meat, was less than a thousandth.

However, people are stress-free and light-hearted, especially these people must not let them live too comfortably.

In that case, it is likely that if you are idle, you will cause trouble.

Therefore, McCor is not too ruthless, that is, 20% of their gross income.

Note that this is gross income, not income tax on net income, as is the case with modern tax laws.

In fact, in nature, it is also income tax, but the base for calculating tax is equivalent to sales tax.

And this 20 percent is equivalent to 10 percent for the agencies stationed at the dam, and the other 10 percent for the local official management agencies.

One of the responsibilities of the local agency is to collect these taxes.

Their motivation is unquestionable, because for one dollar less, their income is less than five cents.

And in order to receive the full amount of taxes, they have to oversee two things,

One is their population base.

Only with people can they create a source of tax revenue, and if everyone runs away, they will still collect a penny.

In one is to monitor income,

If they were asked to hide their income, they would not have to collect it, so they had to drink the northwest wind to live.

Knowing that Drinking Phoenix can't live, those managers supervise the income very tightly.

In this way, those conflicts make the managers and the public their daily routine, and the dam agency stationed at Maiko is just sitting on the fisherman's advantage.

Nominally to protect them, in fact McKe gave them two major tasks.

The first is oversight.

Every 250 meters on the dam, there is a complex tower, the lower floor is for human habitation, the middle floor is for those stationed there, and the highest floor is an observation post to monitor the movements of the island's residents.

On the top floor is the lighthouse, which illuminates the sea below, as well as the nearby land.

In other words, even if it is dark night, those who try to cause trouble have nothing to hide.

However, these are all planned steps.

Once there is something on the island, these troops stationed at the dam can rush to the island every minute and every second to quickly quell the chaos.

The dam on the east side is connected to the main island by 50 bridges, which can be used for normal life and commercial activities.

For example, from the south to the north of the island, all the way is barren mountains and mountains, full of thorns, either impassable, or need to be a protracted journey.

From the starting point to the bridge to the dam, and from the dam to the destination, it is very simple.

And it's a perk that McCor offers to the islanders who are in peace.

In other words, anyone who can trust the islanders will be given a certificate of good citizenship, and anyone who has a certificate of good citizenship can freely use these bridges and dams to carry out any action they want to keep in peace, which is economical and convenient.

And those who have a bad record do not have a certificate of good citizenship, so they are not free to go on the bridge, let alone walk on the dam.

Of course, it is not absolutely forbidden for them to use it, but it can be accommodating after approval.

However, the flexibility of accommodation costs money.

Of course, this is a lot of money, because since they are not good citizens, every move on the bridge and dam must be supervised, otherwise what will they do?

Of course, the wool of these overseers came from the sheep, so these people had to scavenge their own wool fiercely.

However, the east dam is only the first step in defense.

Even if some people can break through the defenses of the first dam and enter the special zone between the two dams, they are destined to die there!

This body of water, according to Mai Ke's setting, is not too wide, that is, 1,300 kilometers.

McKee calculated not nautical miles but kilometers, purely because he had come from the map, and there were twelve degrees of longitude between the east and west dams, and each longitude was at that latitude, which was about a distance of one hundred and ten kilometers.

Such a distance in itself, if those troublemakers do not have modern means of navigation, they are as strong as cattle and will be exhausted.

Moreover, those seas are rich in all kinds of creatures, and even if all the islanders come, it will not be enough for them to eat a full meal.

Mai Ke focused, of course, above the times, even the most powerful and advanced fleet of that era with strong ships and guns could not pass the layers of blockade set up by Mai Ke.

Therefore, it is completely certain that the countless precautionary measures laid out by Mai Ke in the middle of these two dams, those island countries rebelled and rushed in, and they must have been completely wiped out there!

That is, even if they manage to break out of the cage, they will only fall into another trap and will never reach the Asian continent!

That's the point of Micro's planning!

However, this is only one side of the East China Sea Dam, the west side has not yet been built, and it is this west side of the dam that Mai Ke has encountered setbacks.

That is, his construction process was stopped, and Lingxi, the main force responsible for the construction of the dam, withdrew from the operation, and at the same time, those construction roads, which were not originally all the things of that era, had to be solved by himself under the new arrangement.

This time it cost Mai Ke's life!
