The battlefield is filled with corpses in different forms of death!
There are Qing armies and there are Liberation armies!
The military's medical team came forward to help clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and organize the bodies of our own soldiers.
The remains of the recovered soldiers were sorted out and placed neatly together according to different organizational structures.
There are even people who specialize in sorting out the remains of soldiers who died in battle!
Rank-and-file officers of each unit identify the corpses through identification tags to determine the identities of those who died in battle.
The corpses of the Qing soldiers were piled up casually, as if they were being thrown away into rubbish.
Just wait until the heads are counted later, pour kerosene on it, prepare firewood, and then burn it.
The military judges of the Liberation Army entered the battlefield and began to sort out the results and calculate military merits.
The wounded soldiers camp was set up not far from the battlefield!
The military doctors were busy and tried their best to treat every recovery soldier.
Zhu Hongyu glanced at the battlefield and then spoke.
"This is a victory, please send your troops to report the victory to the rear!"
The messenger took the order and did it.
Subsequently, good news came from the Liberation Army in Tanzhou Town.
After escaping from the battlefield, a Qing army tried to escape westward, but was blocked by the Tanzhou garrison.
The two sides fought fiercely, and then the Qing army was wiped out in one fell swoop!
…
In early May of the lunar calendar, the weather is already very hot.
There is a big sun hanging in the sky, releasing its own light and heat wantonly, scorching the earth.
People on the ground were busy and busy.
Workers carried goods, merchants came and went more and more frequently, and a large amount of goods were handled through Macau's port.
The tax officers of the Liberation Army went one ship after another at the port, registering and calculating taxes in great detail.
The Liberation Army's three years of no taxation and five years of half-taxation were targeted at farmers and merchants who opened shops.
Zhu Hongyu did it in order to recuperate and restore prosperity to the market.
For maritime trade, as well as import and export duties, you must collect them!
At this time, the port of Macau was even busier than before when the Portuguese controlled it.
The number of merchants coming and going has greatly increased!
The reason for this is that a large number of merchants felt that since the Ming Dynasty had regained Macau.
In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty must blockade and counterattack Macau.
In addition, now that the Portuguese are gone, business in Macau will most likely not be able to continue in the future!
If we don’t take advantage of the fact that Macau is still stable and make the last fortune quickly, will we lose money to death?
With the abnormal mentality of the merchants, Macau is even more prosperous than before.
Shang Jinren boarded a sand boat with the tax officer of the Liberation Army, and checked and calculated the customs duties with the tax officer.
The owner of this ship is a Korean. When facing the officials of the Chinese Empire, even though the Ming Dynasty is now in a state of decline, this Korean businessman is always trying to please them.
Although the Ming Dynasty resisted Japanese aggression and aided Korea during the Wanli Year, and was grateful for the reconstruction of Korea, it was more about the tact of the businessmen!
"What's on board is tea, sugar, and some raw silk, right? Apart from the two, is there anything else?"
"If there is, report it voluntarily as soon as possible. If you conceal it and we find out, you will be punished ten times the price of the goods."
"If you can't pay the fine, the ship will be impounded!"
Shang Jinren asked the merchant sailor beside him. He spoke with a Shandong accent.
He is from Shandong. After the Yuyuan uprising against the Qing Dynasty broke out, he fled south with a large number of refugees.
Run all the way to Guangdong to seek life!
Since he could read, write, and be proficient in arithmetic, he settled in Macau and worked as an accountant for the Portuguese!
After the Ming Dynasty regained Macau, he transformed from a Portuguese accountant to a clerk in the Ming Dynasty's tax department.
After working as an accountant for so many years, he knows too much about all kinds of taxation twists and turns.
The sailor said with a flattering look on his face.
"Also...there are some cotton cloth and ironware!"
The sailor's Chinese is pretty good. Although he has a bit of a stick accent, his pronunciation is quite clear.
Shang Jinren glanced at the sailor sideways, ordered his men to check, and asked in a bad tone.
"Haha, how many are your "some"?"
The tax official on the side had a dark face, as if he was going to order someone to be arrested at any moment.
The captain came over quickly to smooth things over.
"Master, don't be angry, don't be angry, the people below are ignorant!"
"Hold your hand high, hold your hand high!"
As he spoke, he was about to push a piece of gold into the tax collector's hand.
The tax official didn't even look at the businessman, and instead of accepting his gold, he spoke.
"Deploy a team of people from the dock to carefully inspect and see how much the goods are!"
The tax collector's eyesight is not that shallow, and a piece of gold cannot buy him off.
The tax officer collects taxes and is rewarded with a share of the tax income!
After sharing the profit with the people below, the reward will be much more than this ingot of gold!
More importantly, the tax sharing reward is legal income, and it was approved by His Royal Highness the Supervisor personally, and is a benefit to the tax department.
You can spend it openly without fear of being investigated.
And if he took this ingot of gold, he would probably be invited to Jinyiwei's Yamen for tea.
The North Korean businessman wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an apologetic smile.
"Perhaps the people below didn't count the goods carefully when loading, so there are some deviations!"
"We are definitely not deliberately evading taxes. We North Korean businessmen are all honest businessmen!"
The tax officer just nodded and said.
"Paying taxes honestly is better than anything else!"
Shang Jinren on the side was immersed in calculating and checking the quantity of goods, and after a moment he spoke.
"Sir, based on the latest tax rate stipulated by our Ming Dynasty, this merchant ship paid 437 silver dollars less."
The tax officer's face darkened and he spoke.
"According to regulations, tax evasion of four hundred silver dollars is enough to lead to life imprisonment!"
"If it's more than 500 silver dollars, hehe, he will be beheaded!"
Hearing this, the sweat on the North Korean businessman's forehead suddenly increased, and his face began to turn pale.
Fortunately, the tax officer added.
"Hmph, if your ship hadn't been declared and left the port, it wouldn't really be tax evasion, haha..."
"But even so, I can't let you off lightly!"
The North Korean businessman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said.
"Master, please spare me for once!"
"I don't dare to do it anymore, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel on the ground.
The tax officer of the Liberation Army held him up and spoke.
"You don't have to ask me for mercy, I can only handle it according to the regulations!"
"The missing part of the tariff will be paid three times, and then a fine of five hundred silver dollars will be paid!"
"Pay it all as soon as possible, otherwise your ship will not be able to leave the port!"
When the North Korean businessman heard this, he collapsed on the ground with a wry smile on his face.
If I had known today, why bother in the beginning?
If you pay the tax obediently, it will only cost you more than four hundred silver dollars at most!
But now he was fined nearly two thousand silver dollars for being clever.
If you are greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses, you will regret it. You will regret it!
After the tax officer and his party issued another fine to the merchant ship, they got off the ship with great pride.
We are not afraid of North Korean businessmen escaping!
Because they can be sure that North Korean businessmen cannot escape!
