    The news that Cornwall was ceded to the Ming Empire by the King of England also spread throughout Cornwall in the shortest possible time. For a time, the entire Cornwall was panicked and uneasy. Many people even stayed overnight  Escape from Cornwall.

    But for the ordinary people, they cannot escape here, because this is their home and everything they have here. They can only accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty helplessly, and at the same time they are worried. The most important thing is taxation.  question.

    Cornwall was renamed Hong Kong by the Ming Dynasty. The original county seat was also moved from Truro to Falmouth Harbor. The Ming Dynasty announced that Falmouth Harbor would be renamed Hong Kong, which is the core of the entire county.

    Along with the name change, the laws promulgated by Tian Erniu also began to be announced and posted in major towns throughout Cornwall.

    According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all people in Cornwall must be loyal to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, become the fourth-class citizens of the Ming Dynasty, bear the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time be able to enjoy the blessing of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

    At the dock of Falmouth Port, Tian Erniu set up a place similar to the newspaper posting. Then he had people translate the laws related to the Ming Dynasty and post them in English and Chinese characters at the same time. He also hired people to post them at the dock.  Readings are continued here.

    ¡°Well, in this era, there are more illiterates in England than there were in Ming Dynasty, and not many people can read.

    ¡°Dear people of Hong Kong~¡±

    A Spaniard, Pablo, wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, with long hair and shaved beard, stood on a stone, holding an iron trumpet in his hand, and was explaining the laws of the Ming Dynasty to the people in Falmaus Port.

    Well, he is the translator hired by Tian Erniu with money. He is a Spaniard who understands Ming dialect, Spanish and English. It is said that his ancestors were from England, but now he has become Tian Erniu's personal translator. Everyone  The salary of three taels of silver per month made him very satisfied.

    "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you are not allowed to engage in rebellion, rebellion, evil, disrespect, unfilial piety, unrighteousness, etc. This rebellion means that you are not allowed to resist the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Rebellion means that you are not allowed to betray the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Doing evil means that you are not allowed to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.  Don't do bad things"

    Pablo was very patient and explained the laws in detail to everyone present. However, it was obvious that everyone below was absent-minded. Everyone did not care about these contents very much. What they cared about the most was the issue of taxation.

    ¡°Can you tell us about taxes?¡±

    Tom and Jack were also among the crowd. Listening to each piece of legal content, their heads were a little fried. After thinking about it, they emboldened themselves to ask.

    "Okay, okay, let me tell you about the taxes in Ming Dynasty."

    When Pablo heard this, he nodded and said, took out a piece of paper about taxation and started talking.

    "According to the laws promulgated by Ming Dynasty, Hong Kong belongs to Ming Dynasty's overseas territory, and the tax laws of Ming Dynasty's overseas territories are applicable, according to the tax law."

    "Every citizen in the overseas territories has the obligation to pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty."

    ¡°The main taxes you need to pay are agricultural tax, which accounts for 10%, followed by land tax, which accounts for 5%. Except for this, there seems to be no tax at all.¡±

    "If you are doing business, there will be more taxes levied, and there are detailed business taxes."

    Pablo looked at it carefully and said in disbelief.

    Because there are only two types of taxes above, one is agricultural tax and the other is land tax. There are no other taxes except commercial tax.

    "What?"

    "There are only two taxes, one is agricultural tax, which is only one-tenth, and the other is land tax, which is only one-twentieth. In addition, if you are not doing business, you do not need to pay other taxes."

    "Is it really?"

    ¡°Don¡¯t we need to pay poll tax, currency tax, grass tax, firewood tax, etc.?¡±

    When everyone below heard this, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    But who knew that the taxes in Ming Dynasty were so small. There were only agricultural tax and land tax, and the ratio was so low. Agricultural tax was one-tenth and land tax was one-twentieth. This added up to  It¡¯s only 15%, a very low tax rate.

    "My lord, is this true?"

    "Apart from these two taxes, do we not have to pay any other taxes?"

    ??But two kilograms of flour is important. Two kilograms of flour is enough for his family to eat several delicious meals of bread.

    "I, I~"

    Of course, not only Tom needs such a job, but also the people in the entire fishing port are in great need of such a job. Suddenly, the people in the entire fishing port are excited.

    Everyone walked out of their homes one after another, scrambling to get such a job, building mansions for the governor, building docks, ports, military camps, forts, etc.

    "Don't be anxious, everyone. We need a lot of people. Everyone has a role to play. Please line up and come to me to sign up."

    "The Governor has said that as long as everyone works hard, life will definitely get better and better in the future. Hong Kong will definitely become the richest place in the entire British Isles, and everyone's life will get better and better."

    "There will be bread and everything. The Ming Empire is the richest country. The people of the Ming Empire can all live a prosperous life."

    Pablo looked at the excited crowd in front of him and quickly said loudly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
