Chapter 55 Amnesty for the world, tax exemption for three years
Before Xiao Lang'er went to pick up other women, he gave Zhu Youzhen a recital, which wrote that Fang was in trouble today, and the people of Li had no way to make a living, and the local officials forced them to pay the field tax, and the people had no grain of grain, and they were poor and sick, so they fled to the wilderness and joined the thieves, causing the thieves to become increasingly serious and difficult to calm down. The www.biquge.info ministers thought that if they wanted to pacify the rebels in the world, they needed to cut off the source of the rebels before they could be pacified, otherwise day after day, the thieves would return. The minister thought that if he gave amnesty to the world and exempted the people from taxes for three years, he would give the people a chance to breathe and return to the fields, and the rebels would be wiped out without being swept away. Then rest the people's power, train the army for three years, the soldier refers to Liaodong, then one year can be leveled, measure the material resources of China, the population is several times that of the Tartars, all of them are united, then the Tartars can be destroyed, the Ming Dynasty can be prosperous, I hope Your Majesty will consider it!
Zhu Youzhen saw this recital, just like the first meeting of nectar in the world after a long drought, the dragon face was happy, this is a good policy for governing the country, after a night of thinking, he couldn't sleep excitedly, he drafted his own decree, issued an order of amnesty to the world, as long as he laid down his arms, and no longer pursued the crimes committed by the rebels, I can forgive. No taxes will be collected for three years on farmers in the world, and they hope that the displaced people will return to their homes and cultivate and multiply.
Order a place, the world shakes, this is something that has not been done for thousands of years, the emperor's grace is vast, the emperor is really the lord of the world, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous, the people of the world are all cheering, do not pay taxes for three years, self-sufficient, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft, as long as they can support themselves, they can't support themselves, the court has porridge shops everywhere to help the victims.
At this edict, the exiles who followed the king began to waver, and fled tens of thousands of people in one night, who was willing to die if they had food to eat, and joined the rebels just to survive temporarily.
Seeing more and more people secretly leaving, these kings had a headache, and originally hoped that the world would become more and more chaotic, so as to take the opportunity to seize the world, but they didn't expect the imperial court to come to this move, and the remaining rebels were driven into the mountains by Long Yinwei and the official army, and it is estimated that in less than three years, these rebels will collapse by themselves.
These situations can only be seen later, Xiao Langer took the three of Windsor, rode to TJ Harbor, the Daming treasure ship is still here, the sailors received money in the tavern in the port, the brothel casino to have fun, Xiao Langer let the relatives blow the horn, the whining sound is endless, those sailors immediately rushed on the boat when they heard the order, once the boat left, they will become deserters, that is to cut off the head, some sailors rushed out of the brothel without fastening their belts, those ** are still pestering the sailors, did not give money!
Xiao Lang'er stood on the deck, the captains of each team checked the number of people, the whole team was finished, and the sailors stood there one by one wearing different clothes, after a year of overseas operations, the clothes had long been tattered, although the body was still so straight. Shi Lang counted the number of people, and now there are still 813 people, 21 Xiangxi sailors, more than 50 other Xiangxi sailors are stationed on Butterfly Island, 200 firearms teams, and 100 are left on Butterfly Island, 160 artillery teams, 50 logistics personnel, 50 technicians, and the rest are coolies and more than 20 blacks.
This team of sailors saw Xiao Lang'er coming, they were very excited, and shouted loudly, "Hou Ye is mighty, invincible!"
Xiao Lang'er said, "Brothers, it's almost the New Year, you can't go back in such a short time, hurry up and write a letter home, report that you are safe, and ask Admiral Shi for leave if you are close, and you can go back after submitting for approval." Our fleet rests here for fifteen days, during which you can relax, but every day is still indispensable. You have followed me all the way to work hard, and your credit Liu Jin Gonggong has been reported, and the promotion that should be promoted, and the reward that should be rewarded. You are my elite, I will reward according to merit, now, everyone to the logistics Qian Wanshi to receive the year-end reward of twenty taels, have fun here, you will still follow me in the spring of next year. As soon as Xiao Lang'er's words fell, enthusiastic cheers rang out.
Now that there is no money in logistics, he withdrew 20,000 taels of silver from his private treasury, and the rest was used for the expenses of the New Year.
After dealing with all this, Xiao Lang'er left Windsor behind to be a companion with Olisa, although she was reluctant in every way, but considering that she was pregnant, she had to listen to Xiao Lang'er's instructions, and watched Xiao Lang'er leave with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Lang'er saw that the Bohai Bay had formed thick ice, so he stepped on the ice and headed south, and when the ice became thinner, he summoned the ghost ship, he jumped on the boat, and his mind communicated with the ghost ship, driving the ghost boat to fly towards Butterfly Island, this time he wanted to take all the six women on the boat, and then go to the capital to attend the wedding together, and give them a wedding that they will never forget.
