    "Uncle, the food is ready, will you serve it now?"

    At this time, someone came out of the door. Fang Xing smiled and said, "Bring some more and let's eat together today."

    At this time, the status of the servants was not as high as it was in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, the servants and the generals ate together, and they ate whatever the generals ate.

    "Only on the battlefield, these generous benefits need to be guaranteed with life.

    After setting up the food, Fang Xing pointed to the dried fish prepared in various ways and said, "Come on, let's all try it and see if there is any future in taking it inland."

    Braised hairtail, fried jumping fish

    Seeing everyone eating heartily, Fang Xing ignored the rule of not saying anything when eating, and said: "If you want the people to trust you, your tough approach will not last long, so today I first proposed to let them make it at home, and then purchase it collectively.  But then you all saw it.¡±

    Xiaodao swallowed a piece of hairtail, "Master, you have set a trap for them!"

    "You can say that."

    Fang Xing said bluntly: "This kind of canned food has relatively high requirements on conditions. If it is processed by each household, the final products will be uneven, neither big nor good."

    Fang Wu's eyes lit up and he said: "Master, you should first lure them with benefits and make them excited, and then end it with Mr. Xu's appearance, just in time to convince those people."

    Fang Xing nodded slightly and said, "Without inducement, people will not be tempted. Without layout, no one will pay attention to you. This is the human heart."

    Xu Fangda said confusedly: "But teacher, why do you think the baskets of copper coins are the most important?"

    "That's right." Fang Xing nodded and said, "Seeing is believing, hearing is false. No one will listen to your lies!"

    Seeing several people thinking, Fang Xing was thinking about another problem.

    After dinner, Fang Xing returned to the study to write letters, not only to his family, but also to Zhu Zhanji and others.

    In the letter, Fang Xing told the origins of the Japanese pirates and the situation of the coastal people. The last sentence was: If the bottom officials are not eliminated, the Japanese pirates will continue!

    At the back, Fang Xing attached the contents of the local fish lesson.

    The fish in coastal areas are divided into natural colors and off-colors. Due to the war in recent years, there are more natural colors, that is, fish bladders and other things.

    ???????????????? But in addition to collecting essential taxes, local governments also require other miscellaneous taxes.

    The total of these miscellaneous taxes makes the fishermen miserable, and many of them have abandoned their jobs.  Some even took the risk and went directly to sea to find Japanese pirates, transforming themselves from fishermen into pirates.

    ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s a good thing that we have been collecting taxes these past few years, otherwise it would have been even more difficult!¡±

    The taxation in the Ming Dynasty is divided into true and false. The true value is your own output, and the false meaning means that you have to pay money or buy things required by the government to pay taxes.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Huang Zhong sighed: "I have traveled a lot in the past few days and found that local officials are like wolves and tigers, cleverly setting up names to plunder people's wealth. Just as my uncle said, if the bottom officials are not eliminated, the Japanese problem will not be eliminated!"

    Fang Xing took Huang Zhong¡¯s record book and looked through the miscellaneous taxes collected under various categories, as well as various non-staff chores

    ¡°Travel money, food money, bamboo basket money, money for gods and Buddhas along the river¡±

    "ha!"

    Fang Xing raised his head, exhaled depressedly, shook his head and said, "People are inherently greedy. How many corrupt officials did Emperor Taizu Gao kill? How many have your Majesty killed today? He continues to kill them, and he continues to do so!"

    Thinking of the long journey ahead, Fang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "This is a chronic disease that cannot disappear in any era. The most we can do is put more effort into supervision."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off outright inspections, we also need to form a situation of nationwide supervision, so that we can slow down the spread of grassroots rot.

    Huang Zhong couldn't help but shake his head and was speechless when he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's ferocity in killing corrupt officials.

    Fang Xing wrote a new letter, sealed it, handed it to Xin Laoqi, and then said, "Send it to me quickly."

    The army has its own channels, and according to Fang Xing¡¯s level, he can naturally ask for faster transmission.

    The two of them were sighing when Xiaodao came in and said, "Master, someone was following Mr. Huang when he came back."

    Huang Zhong was startled and said in astonishment: "I am just alone, why are they following?"

    "Go, follow that person and see whose handiwork it is."

     Fang Xing explained that after Xiaodao left, he sneered: "It seems that Fang's coming here has touched the interests of some people! They are scared!"

    Huang Zhong thought for a while and understood the reason for the matter.

    Fang Xing¡¯s method of dealing with Japanese pirates and Japanese conspirators was shocking, and he had no sign of leaving Taizhou Prefecture yet. Those people were probably worried that the Taisun¡¯s teacher had come down with some purpose.

    Fang Xing stood up and looked at the golden color that filled the courtyard outside. He put his hands behind his hands and said, "My heart is selfless and there is no evil in my heart. Why would I do such a sneaky thing? I want to see what these people are afraid of!"

    The next day, Xiaodao brought news of the stalker.

    "Sir, that person ended up in the Tax Department."

    "A tax department director would never dare to do this in private!"

    Fang Xing thought of the strange tax policy of the Ming Dynasty. The commercial tax was set by Zhu Yuanzhang as a tax of thirty to one. The reason for this was to restore the business that had been hit hard by the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

    But in the Yongle period, Zhu Di did not dare to change his policy, and the tax rate was still ultra-low.

    "We all rely on farmers to support this huge country. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty?"

    Fang Xing sighed: "The same is true for the Shipping Department. Private trade is prohibited and only tribute trade is allowed. The key is that no taxes are collected. Oh my god! Look at the commercial taxes in the former Song Dynasty!"

    Huang Zhong has been in Suzhou Mansion for a long time, so he is naturally aware of these shortcomings. He advised: "Uncle, these must be taken care of slowly. After all His Highness is still young!"

    Fang Xing glanced at Huang Zhong in surprise, nodded and said, "Yes, we are both young, but I can't ignore this matter!"

    After a moment of silence, Huang Zhong bowed and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I also have a big heart!"

    Huang Zhong suddenly revealed his feelings just now, and Fang Xing just responded vaguely. He can't do this again this time, otherwise Huang Zhong will definitely be separated.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? looked at Huang Zhong for a moment, then Fang Xing said slowly: "This road is very risky, we must be persevering and persevering, and we cannot do it unless we have a heart as solid as stone. Have you thought clearly?"

    Huang Zhong solemnly raised his hands and said, "Uncle, I have no regrets!"

    Fang Xing's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stabbed Huang Zhong like a knife: "Bolu, do you know the consequences of these words? Once you make any move, Fang has a thousand ways to make you die silently.  interest!"

    Huang Zhong said calmly: "If that's the case, let me do whatever I want!"

    Fang Xing nodded, and then said: "Okay, you can come to my study from now on."

    Fang Xing¡¯s study is a forbidden area in the Fang family. Unless he asks you to go there, anyone who comes near it will be regarded as a spy by the servants.

    During Huang Zhong¡¯s stay at Fang¡¯s house, he had seen Fang Xing¡¯s behavior.  From Zhu Zhanji's attitude toward Fang Xing to the contents taught in the school, they all indicate one meaning
