"Pu Xingfeng also took out all his family's assets."

On the stern of the warship, Luo Fangren, Luo Fangli, Luo Fangxiao and others gathered together, and the leaders of the other major families of Lan Fang Kingdom were all gathered on Luo Fangren's flagship.

An overseas trade power like Lan Fang is also considered a strong country in the use and construction of ships. Although he has been helping the navy build ships in the past few years, his own ships are not considered small.

This expedition was the final decisive battle. Lan Fang and San Foqi and other countries also formed a coalition force, with more than 100 ships of all sizes and 10,000 people.

For the two small countries, this is also a way to do its best.

But when he saw the size of the Pu Xingfeng fleet and heard the howls like beasts from afar, Luo Fangren's face also changed, and everyone else's faces were similar.

"Are the adults of the Navy in the Mansion Army a little too anxious?" The leader of a small country said anxiously: "Now it's just going to endure and waste it slowly. Pu Xingfeng's troops are restricted from plundering. They will definitely use up their strength in ten years, and it will not be too late to take action."

"It seems that there are wars in the Great Wei Dynasty, and the navy may be anxious to transfer the main force back to the country."

"Oh, the Great Wei has always been like this. It only focuses on the country. We use it as a chamber pot for all countries in Southeast Asia. When it is used, it will be used. If it is not used, it will be stuffed under the bed!"

"Don't be so resentful. This time, His Highness Qin's navy stayed in Nanyang for more than two years and has been fighting for more than 10,000 people in the navy's officers and soldiers died or injured. Can we still say such things?"

"I'm too anxious..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, staring at the fleet in the distance from afar, and howling kept coming from the port, and then a small boat flocked out, followed by a large number of warships, and above the ships were Tianfang warriors holding spears and scimitars.

"This battle is important." Luo Fangren's face was grim and resolute, without any panic.

"It will be successful." Luo Fangren looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Liu Guanjun of the Mansion Army has been in charge of the army for many years. In terms of status, he is not under the Taiwei of the Great Wei. Since he is determined to fight, he believes that he has a chance. The reason why he no longer waits is because he is afraid that Pu Xingfeng and the Mansion Army Navy will fight guerrillas. He has to delay a few more years. When the battle occurs, both sides think that they can win before they can fight. Many people think that they have to wait, which will delay the time. Once they are delayed, something may happen!"

"The regent is right."

"General Liu is a general with extraordinary martial arts and wisdom. Deng Wenjun around him is a famous wise general. Their decision will definitely not be wrong."

Everyone was talking, and while supporting Luo Fangren, they were also comforting themselves.

At this time, someone exclaimed: "Fleet, the main force of the Mansion Fleet is here!"

On the sea level, looking at the sunlight, a mast finally appeared, and more than a hundred ships emerged almost together, and then more fleets emerged on the sea.

The navy troops from various countries gathered at the Three Buddhas, while the main force of the navy's army set out from ports in Lanfang and joined at sea. After several consecutive days, they finally completed the convergence and drove towards the Malacca port.

The masts are like forests and the ships are dense. Only those who are familiar with the assets of the Navy of the Prefecture Army know how many ships have arrived.

Luo Fangxiao said excitedly: "Three thousand-ton ships, more than 11, more than 500 tons, more than 37, more than 300 tons, more than 300 ships, more than 120,000 main officers and soldiers of the navy, nearly 50,000 sailors, all the main forces of the navy are here!"

While speaking, Luo Fangxiao almost lost his composure and his two eyes were about to pop out.

His excitement is understandable. This person who worked since the development of the East Fan, and after several years, he saw that the Dong Fan navy developed from dozens of warships to this point, it was strange that he was not excited.

The most important thing is that the three thousand-ton giant ships were all built by the Dongfan themselves, and were completely built according to the tower ships and giant ships in the prosperous period of the Great Wei Navy. Each ship was on it.

There are more than a thousand warriors and dozens of artillery, and whether it is firepower or melee ability, it completely crushes ordinary ships!

The Navy of the Prefecture Army, from the thousands of people at the time of its establishment, was only more than 30,000 two years ago. After the Japanese campaign, the shogunate only spent half of its financial resources on daily expenses, 50% of its financial resources were used in the Navy, 20% were used in the Prefecture Army, and 30% were used to buy horses and raise horses! Xu Zixian's determination and will are really far beyond ordinary people. Once he knew something was worth doing, he would do his best!

By the 16th year, the shogunate's revenue in the entire fiscal year had exceeded 90 million yuan, of which the Dongfan area exceeded 40 million yuan, and the 50 million yuan was from independently calculated coastal defense taxes and tax cards established in Fujian Road, Jiangxi Road, Liangzhe Road, Guangdong and Guangxi, Jingnan, Jingbei and other places.

Under the auspices of the shogunate, the local miscellaneous taxes that were as numerous as cows were basically eliminated... What kind of bill money is enough to be a bastard, and there is also the dry bone tax. If the people raise cattle, the government has to collect taxes from the people. It is simply unreasonable and human nature. There is also the money for river ferry, the money for tribute, the money for accompanying the money, the money for land ferry, the money for salt, the money for cows, the money for shoes, and the tax was levied. Many taxes were unreasonable, just to completely indulge the officials to take advantage of the money for the central government to complete the financial quota. As long as the central government's wealth is paid enough, how can local officials urge the people to exploit the people? As long as they do not cause large-scale rebellion and civil unrest, they can be used.

Even if the civil rebellion was created, the officials were dismissed, and after returning home, they were still a rich man, enjoying the money they had plundered. Many famous corrupt officials in the history of the Wei Dynasty were dismissed at most. A magistrate who once worked in Leizhou made a local infant and sold children. Later, the civil rebellion caused more than 10,000 people to die. The magistrate was dismissed and then left.

Such lenientness, Emperor Renzong had the word "Ren", but under his rule, the people have endured the suffering they should not have endured until now.

Although this maintained the 100 million-dollar financial income of the Great Wei Dynasty, the people paid at least several times the burden they shouldn't have paid, which was really killing the chicken to get eggs. The financial bankruptcy of the Great Wei Dynasty was because of such greed and short-sightedness!

The Qin King's shogunate completely abolished these miscellaneous taxes, but only retained the maritime tax donations. This is a constraint on maritime merchants and a shared commitment between both parties. Collecting maritime taxes to ensure the safety of the sea. Maritime merchants pay money to strengthen the maritime masters is a good thing that both parties benefit.

In addition, there is a dental bank deed tax, which is a normal commercial tax, and must be levied whether it is a factory or a commercial mine.

The other is the land and house contract. When the people trade real estate and land, they need to go to the government to collect the contract and pay taxes. This is the government providing legal endorsement and services, and it is natural to collect taxes.

The official tax is that the land is a tax that is collected as usual, and rice and other physical items. After 30% of the exemption, they are transported to Jinhai by sea as usual and sent to the Sansifu Treasury. In the special period when the Donghu and pacified the bandits in the north, even if Xu Zixian had already controlled the south, there were hundreds of officials above the sixth rank and above who drove away. The two governments could only abide by the status quo. The bottom line required was that all the various routes in the south had to transport national taxes and various miscellaneous materials normally. The shogunate had always guaranteed this.

But no one can imagine that after the abolition of the numerous miscellaneous taxes, the shogunate's income not only did not decrease, but did not increase steadily, but increased significantly!

In fact, it is also very simple. Although the Great Wei encourages industry and commerce, it still regards agriculture and sericulture as the foundation of the country. This is a fundamental cognitive problem and cannot be reversed in a short period of time.

However, Xu Zixian knew that once overseas business channels were opened, it would not only benefit from maritime business, but also related industries would have large-scale development.

After the navy restricted Pu Xingfeng, eliminated the two thieves of Luzon, and directly controlled Japan and Luzon, and affected countries such as Lanfang Sanfoqi and Siam Zhenla, the export volume of Dawei's products recovered rapidly, and the total economic volume of the people exploded. The increase in the total economic volume meant the tax amount.

With the increase in the total amount, coupled with the strict control of officials, the wealth and taxes do not enter the private door but enter the national treasury, a significant tax increase is a matter of course, and it is strange that it does not increase.

In addition to the deed tax, the shogunate also added tax cards for official roads and important checkpoints. Generally, merchants paid contracts and traded additional tax dollars. The reason was that the soldiers of the government army conscripted and suppressed bandits and went to war to greatly consume. The purpose of eliminating bandits and bandits was to ensure the safety of business. The bandits and bandits were eliminated completely, and it was also to protect the business roads and collect donations.

Of course, this adds some additional burden to the merchants, but it is always much better than plundering the minority people.

Besides, the merchants were very happy, just like Xu Zixian set up a checkpoint in Nan'an Town to collect donations. As long as the safety of that area was protected and the robbers and robbers were eliminated, the merchants would rather pay some money than leave Nan'an Town and store the goods in Nan'an Warehouse. This is the same.

In addition to paying the official tuition, there are still 90 million yuan in income to the shogunate. The people actually feel that life is getting looser and looser. The heavy shackles were opened and discarded, and people's living standards have increased significantly. The government is still repairing the official road, Yi Cang, Yi She, Yi Village, Sales Bureau and other welfare institutions have also allocated funds one after another. Although in Xu Zixian's view, this is just the lowest level of people's livelihood and welfare expenditure, it is already a huge blessing for ordinary people.

Before this, they were oppressed by officials, bullied by officials who were like wolves and tigers, and paid numerous miscellaneous taxes. At least 70% of their annual income was plundered, and the rest was to barely maintain food and clothing.

Fortunately, the south has developed industry and commerce and a warm climate. If it were like Shaanxi, Henan and Henan, it would have suffered disasters and a large population density, so there would have been large-scale civil unrest and bandits in the south.

Even so, when Li Kaiming raised the banner in Jianzhou, 100,000 people gathered under his banner in a short period of time. It was unimaginable that the people would rather go into exile than commit suicide and become rebel thieves.

For the imperial center, things in the south were neither imagined nor knew about them, but the significantly increased taxes formed the huge fleet in front of them.

The navy officers and soldiers soared to a scale of more than 100,000, and the fleet size expanded dozens of times! From only more than 20 main ships with more than 20 tonnages to the Nanyang Navy to more than 40, and then the Kang family provided 100 ships. In addition, the construction of ships from the countries and large families of the South China Sea, as well as shipbuilding yards in Dongfan and Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, the navy had fully started construction of warships. In less than three years, the navy had nearly 400 main ships with more than 300 tons. The previous ones, such as Zhongyi and Fuyi, and other ships, have all been changed to merchant ships and are no longer regarded as warships, but have become part of the fleet.

As for the navy officers and soldiers, the initial organization was only the force of an army. When they fought with Yan Qi and Liu Dan, they took the risk of fire attack, thus exposing the spirit of the navy.

When the shogunate entered Fuzhou, when Xu Zixian opened his mansion to become the King of Qin, the navy also expanded rapidly, from one army to more than ten armies. During the battle of the Japanese, the navy had already had more than 20 armies and more than 60,000 troops. After more than two years of war with Pu Xingfeng's troops, a large number of outstanding young people from Fujian Road and Guangdong South Road joined the navy. The best of the immigrant children of various countries in the South China Sea were also absorbed into the army in large numbers. The navy had more than 40 armies and more than 120,000 troops, plus the logistics engineering supplies personnel. This number was also the scale of the Nanyang Navy in the Great Wei Dynasty when it was at its peak. Xu Zixian spent just five or six years to rebuild the almost completely destroyed the Nanyang Navy, which was no longer there!
