"Why not? You still remember what we did in Haicheng. Before tax reform was carried out, Haicheng's tax revenue was not even one-fifth of what it is now. Now that we have occupied these two places,
We must treat everyone equally, whether they are foreigners or those who are officials, we all have to pay taxes here."
Luo Yuzhang said without raising his head that the war was all about money. This guy had also participated in the reconstruction work on the Xiongnu grassland, so he naturally knew the importance of money. If taxes could be raised, it would indeed be able to resolve a big crisis.
The locations of the two concessions are both good. Although they are currently in some chaos, vigorous business will soon develop. In addition, the soldiers of the Suppression Army have money in their hands, and they can also drive consumption in the surrounding areas during their normal vacations.
It is definitely the next economic growth point. Many businessmen will come here soon, and the tax revenue will not be a small amount at that time. These situations have been proven to be realized in Haicheng.
Wang Laoer also nodded, and the two discussed many things, and also reported to Gao Shaoyi that night.
Gao Shaoyi gave instructions on this matter. Except for the families of martyrs, no one else can be exempted from tax. Even if they are family members of martyrs, they must be direct blood relatives.
The two of them were very satisfied with Gao Shaoyi's instructions and went about their own business separately.
Gao Shaoyi, who was in Dongdi Kingdom, was in a good mood when he saw this incident. He didn't expect that Luo Yuzhang still had this ability. As long as this kind of thing can be done into a system, there will be another place to make money in the future.
.
The compensation of 100 million silver coins previously promised by the Dongdi government has now been fully paid, and the remaining repayments are due in accordance with the provisions of the treaty, so things on the Dongdi side do not matter.
Gao Shaoyi's main task today is to inspect the defense situation of Hengfu Port. This is also Gao Shaoyi's last inspection before leaving.
"Sir, there are about 875 square kilometers around here, all of which are under our control. We have built a large number of open and dark forts on the periphery. With our artillery troops, we can completely resist eight enemy divisions.
attack."
Gao Shaoyi had previously appointed Wu Chuan as the garrison commander of Hengfu Port, so all the defense policies here were established by him. Although we have not occupied this place for a long time, the preliminary defense system has been established, even without the support of the navy.
, relying on the capabilities of our Marine Corps, we can completely defend this place.
"There is not much left for you in terms of fleet for the time being, but once the battle with the Rakshasa Empire is over, the size of the fleet will return to its current level."
Gao Shaoyi used a telescope to look at the defense system in the distance. It was quite well built. It was all made of reinforced concrete structures. At least it could not be broken through according to Dongdi's current attack capabilities.
According to the policy previously formulated by Gao Shaoyi, after the fleet moves south, there will be two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and six destroyers left at the port. Their mission is to help the Marine Corps defend Hengfu Port.
This is already a lot more warships than when we set off from Haicheng, so Wu Chuan and others are very confident. Even if Dongdi State launches a large-scale attack, we have nothing to fear here. When the time comes, you will
The only option is to lose your life here.
"Please rest assured, sir, all of us will defend Hengfu Port to the death."
Wu Chuan has issued a military order to Gao Shaoyi. Now there are three Marine Corps infantry regiments here at the port, plus two artillery regiments, which is indeed a lot of troops. However, the Dongdi Congress has focused all its attention here, so these troops cannot be ignored.
It goes up a lot, but it’s spread over an area of 800 square kilometers, so it doesn’t feel like much.
"Haicheng will provide support recently, giving you two infantry regiments of about 5,000 people, but they are all new regiments. You can only treat them as reserves. If you encounter some low-intensity battles,
You can definitely let them go to the battlefield to see it."
Gao Shaoyi thought of another thing. These two infantry regiments had just finished their recruit training, and the war here was also over. Although there were still four divisions from Dongdi Kingdom watching eagerly on the southwest side, but
Just watching.
The troops of Dongdi Kingdom have been beaten to the point of losing their ambition. If they still had any will to fight, they would not have retreated last time. Now that the peace agreement between the two countries has just been reached, Dongdi Kingdom has also sent a huge amount of money.
The compensation payment made it even more impossible to provoke a war at this time. Gao Shaoyi knew very well what opportunity Dongdi was waiting for.
That is when they return from the fleet of the Windsor Empire. Of course, Gao Shaoyi will never give them this opportunity. As long as we defeat the people of the Rakshasa Empire, we can intercept your fleet openly.
“Have there been any immigrants coming to the country?”
Gao Shaoyi saw a transport ship docking in the port in the distance, and many people who looked like ordinary people got off the ship.
"This is already the second batch. In the first batch, 397 people came, and in the second batch, 612 people came. According to our previous policy, everyone will be free of charge for three years after coming.
Taxes will be paid to them, and a thirty-acre land will be allocated to them. In addition to the rations for their own use, if they are all sold to the suppressing army, the taxes for the year will be completely exempted. At the same time, they can also choose two prisoners of war to be slaves without wives.
They will also issue a female slave."
Wu Chuan is still very familiar with these policies. After all, this guy will be the person in charge here in the future. If there are more and more people in the Daqian Empire here, it will be easier for them to defend. When the enemies are surrounding,
Our own people are the most reliable.
"The policy you have formulated is a bit petty. Such a large pile of land is ownerless, and each person is given fifty acres."
Gao Shaoyi has been promoting the immigration policy in the country for such a long time, and so far only so many thousands of people have come here. If it continues so slowly, I don’t know if we will be able to fully assimilate here in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
According to the regulations of the Suppression Army, all local land will be reverted to the ownership of the Suppression Army. No matter you were a landlord or a farmer in the past, you have now become a proletarian and are at the mercy of the Suppression Army.
Wu Chuan nodded beside him. Thirty acres of land and fifty acres of land were just different numbers to them. Anyway, they were both snatched from the hands of Dongdi people.
