This is a brand new world. It suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Zifan, and the impact on him was extremely huge. You should know that he was a very poor official. He never embezzled and accepted bribes or took the people a penny. It was this behavior that brought him Zhou Qingtian's reputation, but at the same time, it made him no chance to enjoy some luxury items and had never seen the urge to see the big shopping mall.

What he saw at this time was countless silver bills flying, and various commodities were exchanged under the hands of merchants. From time to time, a merchant walked happily on the boat next to the dock with a large amount of items. From time to time, new ships arrived, moving a large amount of goods into the market, and then several silver bills of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels were exchanged in the hands of merchants.

Zhou Zifan initially estimated that the silver bills circulating in this market would probably be worth the taxes of several Dameng Kingdom. How good would it be if the money was all from the court? The Yunnan-Guizhou rebels, the Liaodong and Qing dynasties were not a problem. As long as you use this money to arm the army, no matter how powerful the enemy would be, it would be turned into dust.

He almost lost himself in the market. After a long time, he remembered that he was looking for the emperor. So he ran out of the market and walked towards the center of the oasis. He saw that the huge Shanghai Oasis was developed very beautifully, with neatly tidy fields painted with squares and managed in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but talk to a farmer and realized that the poor people in Shanghai Oasis do not need to pay taxes, and those who have an income of one line must pay taxes. In other words, in Shanghai Oasis, only the rich pay taxes, but not the poor...

He couldn't help but ask the farmer curiously: "Will everyone deliberately not work hard and keep their income offline?"

"Are you a fool?" the farmer said bluntly: "Who is the reason why someone deliberately doesn't make money? I would rather pay more tax than make more money."

This... really... Zhou Zifan doesn't understand. There are people who want to pay taxes... This is really weird. But he thought again, this is the right way. Such a system can ensure the country's taxes and not harm the poor people. This is a good strategy to govern the world! I didn't expect that King Jiashan's territory would actually use this unique tax system, which is really great.

He said goodbye to the farmer, walked forward, and soon arrived at the center of Shanghai. He saw a towering city wall built here, full of cannons. When he walked to the city gate, no one was charged for the city tax. He couldn't help but feel a little curious, knowing that every oasis in the Dameng Kingdom had to charge the city tax. It cost about five cents per person, but it was not charged here.

He couldn't help but find another passerby and asked, "Why doesn't this city earn city tax?"

"Are you a fool?" passerby sneered: "Who dares to enter and exit the city tax in the city, who dares to enter and exit the city without any trouble? The most hurt is the small vendors. If you don't dare to enter and exit the city at will, then there will be no goods entering and leaving the city. How inconvenient is everyone's life? If you don't receive city tax here, you can let vendors enter and exit freely. It's convenient for everyone to live."

"So that's it!" Zhou Zifan suddenly realized.

When you walk on the street, you will see pedestrians passing by. The streets are full of merchants and servants. Although this is an emerging green state, it is extremely prosperous. Since there is a super harbor next to it, the material here is also very rich. Many goods are directly brought from the port and sold. The cheap price is unheard of.

Zhou Zifan felt like a local bun entering the city, and his eyes were full of novelty.

While watching the fun, someone suddenly shouted: "Thieves, some thief stole my stuff..."

Zhou Zifan looked at him and saw a man with a fierce face running, chasing a commoner behind him, shouting, "Catch the thief..."

The thief ran a few steps and suddenly a man in a uniform jumped out next to him. The uniform was very interesting, a bit like the clothes of the soldiers of the cute country, but there was a little difference. He didn't look as formal as a soldier. The man in the uniform knocked the thief to the ground with one punch, and then tied it up in a few seconds, cursing: "Where are you thieves who came from? You dare to steal things in Shanghai Oasis, which is simply seeking death. Now that you are arrested, you will be sent to labor reform soon, and contribute to the construction of this oasis!"

Zhou Zifan didn't understand again, so he caught a passerby and asked, "May I ask, what happened to the scene just now?"

A passerby smiled and said, "The one who came out to arrest people is the Zhencheng Shenguan in our Shanghai Oasis, who specializes in managing civil unfair affairs. If anyone is bullied, as long as the Zhencheng Shenguan is present, he will help us stand out."

"What is labor reform?" Zhou Zifan said strangely.

"Labor reform is labor reform!" Passersby smiled and said, "Anyone who commits crimes will be arrested in this oasis to force labor, build oasis, auxiliary roads, and bridges. The meaning of doing this is to let them pay for the bad things they have done in the past with their labor. This is invented by the prince, and it is really good."

"Ah? The criminal should be imprisoned or executed!" Zhou Zifan said.

"Are you a fool?" Passersby said unhappily: "You have to support him in prison for nothing. If you execute him, who will make up for the bad things he did? Of course, it is necessary to first work hard to make up for the labor reform, let him do good deeds, and add some benefits to the villagers."

Zhou Zifan Khan: "How come you have so many strange tricks in this oasis?"

"Strange tricks? I think you are strange, your whole family is strange. This is the ultimate trick that our great and wise King of Shanghai came up with. How can it be called a strange trick? Tell me, I won't even say anything!" Passersby left angrily.

Zhou Zifan sighed and continued to walk forward. Not long after, he saw many unique places, many strange institutions, such as a house with "119" at the door, which is said to be responsible for firefighting and various chores. For example, if there is a hornet's nest in front of the house, 119 will be dispatched to help remove it. If there is a poisonous scorpion in the vegetable garden, 119 will also help deal with it. If anyone forgets to bring the keys when going out, 119 will help break the door. There is also "110", which turns out to be the place where the constable works. The strangest thing is that there is a house called "114", where the people inside are responsible for leading the way for businessmen from other places and bringing them to places suitable for their business scope.

Zhou Zifan walked all the way to the front of the Prince's Mansion, and saw a large box erected at the door of the Prince's Mansion. The box read "Huwang Public Mailbox" and the following words were written in small words: "If you have any suggestions about this oasis, have any dissatisfaction with anything, or have grievances, you can write a letter to put it into this mailbox. The prince will deal with it after reading it. Note: Anonymity is allowed."

"Wow!" Zhou Zifan was shocked: "This thing... is easier to use than Dengwengu!"

The so-called Dengwen Drum is a giant drum in front of the court. In ancient times, when the people had grievances, they would often beat the drum in front of the court. This is the so-called "beating the drum and making grievances". Dengwen Drum originally represented an advanced litigation system, but due to the officialdom, the unruly people's actions and other reasons, at this time, Dengwen Drum was useless. Even a bit too much, as long as the officials heard the Dengwen Drum, no matter the reason, they would beat the people who beat the drum thirty and then ask about the case.

Later, the people no longer trusted the drum!

However, the mailbox in front of the Prince of Shanghai is obviously different. It can not only be used to seek justice, but also to make suggestions. If the people have something to say, they just need to find a copywriter, help write a letter, and submit it to them, and they can directly tell the prince what they want to say, and allow anonymity. What an advanced system.

Zhou Zifan was secretly shocked. The civil affairs aspect of this Shanghai oasis was really good.

As a civil servant, he was actually not very interested in Yi Yun's great achievements in the battlefield, because war was not something he was familiar with. What he understood better was civil affairs, and he was proud of was civil affairs. In fact, most of the people in the Donglin Party were civil servants. They always looked down on military generals and thought that being able to move fists was boring. The kingdom was the king.

But after arriving in Shanghai Oasis, he realized that they had to learn a lot in civil affairs. Compared with Yi Yun and other measures that benefit the people, the things he did for the people before were simply pediatrics, and he was not even worse in carrying shoes.

This can be done with an emerging oasis. If this oasis develops for a few years, wouldn’t it be flying in the sky? With Zhou Zifan’s eyes, it can be easily seen that as long as this oasis is given a few years, it can be ensured that it will develop better than the imperial capital.

Zhou Zifan was really excited now. He rushed into the Prince of Shanghai Mansion. The guards at the door recognized him as the official who had disembarked with Yi Yun, so they did not stop him. He rushed into the hall and saw Yi Yun drinking tea and greeting the girls who had met again after a long time.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Zhou Zifan jumped in and knelt down on the ground with a thud, and shouted: "Prince Jiashan, Prince Hu, please educate! The officials should also learn these ways of governing civil affairs."

"I'm busy and don't have time to teach you. Go and learn from my subordinate Ruo Muxing. I've taught her!" Yi Yun spread his hands and said.

"No, I don't want to learn from your subordinates!" Zhou Zifan said seriously: "I'm sure you still have a lot of things that you haven't taught her. I can't learn from her. You should learn from you. You must teach me."

"Well! That's right!" Yi Yun smiled and said, "What I taught her is mainly how to govern the people, because what she likes most is to help the people live a good life, but she lacks the concept of governing the country. She only looks at the people in front of her, not the overall country. You have a relatively high vision and are suitable for learning, such as governing the country... I will teach you how to make a country better."

"Wow? Really?" Zhou Zifan was overjoyed: "I want to learn, I want to learn!"

"Well, then from today on, you should be a secretary under my command first!" Yi Yun said with a smile.

"What is secretary?"

"Well...it's the master!"
