When Altan Khan's envoy came to Jinling City again, even the people who had been to Jinling City last time were still immersed in the prosperity of Jinling City, not to mention that there were people in the mission who came to Jinling City for the first time.

When they were still on the ship and had not yet landed on land, they were shocked by the dense ships on the dock of Jinling City, and after boarding the land, they saw the prosperity of the city, and they couldn't wipe it clean.

If it's just prosperous, they can still accept it, after all, the prosperity of Jiangnan has long been well known, even people who have not been to Jiangnan know the prosperity of Jiangnan, and after seeing it with their own eyes, although shocked, it is still within their acceptable range.

But everything in Jinling City is in good order, but it really blinds their dogs!

They simply can't imagine that at the intersection of the busy streets, pedestrians and many horse-drawn carriages are safe, and the carriages will only pass when they pass by, and the carriages will pass when pedestrians pass.

No one will pass randomly!

When they saw this, they were shocked by the high quality of the Chinese people for the first time, and then they felt a sense of shame, Nima, seeing that the people of the Tang Dynasty were so high-quality, and then thinking about their own people, they couldn't wait to bury their faces, the gap was too big, and they felt ashamed just thinking about it.

They didn't know that the reason why there was such an order in Jinling City was purely because of the patrol police yamen!

In the early days of the patrol police yamen, the fines were not soft at all, and those who followed the rules and regulations were really not of high quality, but purely afraid of being fined.

I didn't see it, everyone has a large flow of intersections, there will be patrolmen in black uniforms, these patrolmen with their eyes to keep an eye on everyone, when anyone tries to violate traffic rules, or throw away garbage, immediately look at the wolf who found the sheep, directly pounced, and then directly took out a fine sheet prepared early.

Fines of all kinds are an important supplement to local finances, and basically every locality attaches great importance to them, because although some of them still have to be handed over to the state treasury, the proportion of fines left in the localities is much larger than the tax revenue.

As the patrol police yamen, which mainly enforces fines, it is also quite valued.

Basically, the patrol police yamen in every place, no matter how tight the budget is, they would rather cut the patrol force used to investigate criminal cases, but they will definitely not cut the patrol force used to patrol the streets.

Because the former is purely fiscal expenditure, while the latter can be used to generate revenue.

In the past two years, with the development of industry and commerce, the police force for economic crimes is also increasing, and it is widely valued by the directors of patrol police bureaus around the country.

Because in this kind of case, the amount involved is often relatively large, relatively speaking, if a fine is required, then the amount of the fine is also very large, hundreds or thousands of taels of silver is common.

If you catch a big fish, then it is not impossible to catch tens of thousands of taels of silver at once!

In these years, the tax revenue of an ordinary agricultural county is often only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and the amount distributed to the local finance is only tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This suddenly came a huge fine, 10,000 taels of silver left behind, then the subsidy to the local treasury is also very large.

If you catch a big fish, you may be able to solve many problems, such as opening more government-run primary schools, building bridges, paving roads, and so on.

Fines were very important to the local finances of the Tang Dynasty.

However, there are many fines and penalties, and now those who do business are also smart!

The patent authorization is only a few hundred taels of silver, and they simply engage in a patent authorization, and they can't be caught by the people from the patrol police patent office, and then they will be fined a few thousand taels, and the fine is not counted, and they have to compensate the patent owner a lot of money.

However, there are still not many really smart people in this world, and more of them are fools who claim to be smart people, thinking that they can hide from the world, but they don't know that the people patrolling the patent office are staring at patent infringement cases all day long, just waiting to get a big vote, and then the local finance will be able to instantly add a sum of money.

The bigwigs at the top are satisfied, and the patrol officers who are responsible for the case at the grassroots level are promoted to make a fortune.

There are many fine regulations, this is not good, that is not good, it is also caused by more and more laws and regulations in Datang, it has only been a few years, and there are many legal provisions of various kinds, and new laws will be issued every once in a while.

Some people say that the various legal provisions of the current Datang Dynasty can already be half a room, but after a few years, the whole room can no longer hold all kinds of legal provisions.

This has led to the rapid development of the lawyer industry in just a few years in the Tang Dynasty, and many enterprises in order to avoid crimes, regardless of whether they want to bypass the law or really to avoid accidental crimes, but most of them will hire a lawyer who is proficient in the legal provisions.

This has also led to the emergence of new subjects, law, in schools above middle school in Datang.

People who are proficient in the law are now very sought-after!

At Jinling University, students who are proficient in law have not yet graduated, and some companies invite them to be consultants, and the price is basically a few hundred taels of silver a year, and if they graduate, then the salary is basically a thousand taels.

But for this reason, most students are still reluctant to do it, because they are more willing to take the entrance examination, enter the inspectorate or the court.

After all, the idea of the official position is still too strong, and when a lawyer serves those wealthy businessmen, how can he be a royal historian, with great power and high salary.

This kind of social environment has also led to many gentry saying that the government is harsh and fierce than the tiger, but Li Xuan has never dicked the voices of these gentry, maybe he can't make the entire Tang Dynasty govern the country according to law, this kind of thing is not realistic for a feudal dynasty with a high concentration of imperial power, but he can improve the law as much as possible, so that most civil and criminal cases can be based on the law.

The high-pressure rule of law is a major feature of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the urban environment, which can surprise the Tatars from afar.

In fact, not only the Tatars, but also the foreigners from other countries, such as the foreigners from Europe, the Arabs from West Asia, the Indians from South Asia, and even the natives of the South Seas, they will be amazed by the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the high quality of the people after they come to the treaty port of the Tang Dynasty by sea.

Many people even thought that they would simply stay in Huaxia and settle down, and then become a glorious Tang people.

Nowadays, in several treaty ports, there are such a group of foreigners who have stayed in the treaty ports of the Tang Dynasty for a long time.

Since Geddes, the Tang Dynasty has also opened up a non-mouth for the naturalization of barbarians, and specially issued new regulations, if the barbarians want to naturalize in China, there are two ways to go, one is to make great contributions, this is mainly for technical talents and political immigrants, etc., one is to pay taxes according to law for a long time, and the annual tax amount reaches the legal standard, and now it is 10,000 taels of taxes per year, and you can apply for naturalization after 20 years of continuous tax payment, but it is another thing if you don't pass it.

Anyway, so far, although there are these two methods, in fact, no one has successfully naturalized the Tang Dynasty through these methods.

Geddes is still the only naturalized foreigner in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tatar mission, it is estimated that there will be people who want to stay in Jinling City, after all, people go to high places, water flows to low places, these barbarians came to the prosperous Jiangnan, after seeing the prosperous Jiangnan, they want to leave and return to their savage tribes, to be honest, there are really few.

Li Xuan soon received a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that it was a Tatar mission, and sent Altan Khan's reply!

Altan Khan was more straightforward and decisive than Li Xuan imagined, he did not raise any questions about the preliminary agreement reached by the two sides through negotiations, and even took the initiative to lower some of the requirements, for example, in terms of horse supply, Altan Khan took the initiative to raise the number of 5,000 war horses per year to 6,000.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the Tatars provide no less than 5,000 war horses to the Tang Dynasty every year, and the weight and shoulder height of these war horses must meet a certain standard, and the shoulder height is one meter three five.

In addition, there are ordinary horses, and ordinary horses have no special requirements.

However, in the case of stallions, they refused to provide them on a large scale, and only promised to give them a few dozen a year.

And the other stallions, regardless of whether they are war horses or ordinary horses, are castrated horses.

The Tatars were also worried that they would become a great threat to them by raising horses on a large scale after they had obtained a large number of mares and stallions.

But they didn't know that the Tang Dynasty had already reached a relevant agreement with the Warat people and the people of the Western Regions, and got a lot of stallions and mares, although the price was a bit high, but it was all worth it.

Today, the military has organized manpower and funds to carry out large-scale breeding of Central Asian horses, and has tried to use Central Asian horses and Mongolian horses to crossbreed better horse breeds.

Altan Khan took the initiative to raise the chips, and Li Xuan could guess what it was for, nothing more than wanting to buy more time.

But this is the same for Li Xuan, the Tang Dynasty also needs time to buffer, and then establish a large-scale cavalry, without enough time, a large-scale cavalry cannot be established, and the two sides will not be able to fight.

Therefore, in response to Altan Khan's above-mentioned statement of ministers and tributes, Li Xuan was also not hypocritical, and directly allowed him to play, and then officially canonized Altan Khan as the king of Shunyi, and gave the Tang Jin Kingdom as his fief.

The Tatars returned with a treaty signed by both sides, and with them a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who had gone to the steppes to issue the canonization decree and to preside over the canonization ceremony.

After the Tatars and the Tang Dynasty officially signed this contract, it also means that thousands of kilometers of the northern border will usher in peace, and a large-scale border town exchange between the two sides will be launched.

But how long can this peace last?

The answer given by the Datang Privy Council is that it will be as little as three years, and no more than five years!
