Chapter 1161 Set a target

It seems that these people really regard themselves as drunkards. These people don't even think about it. If they were really such a person, how could they have conquered such a large territory? During this period, some civil servants wanted to write to Li Xiang, hoping that Li Xiang would be strict with himself, but they were scolded back by Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang knew Li Xiang's character very well. How could such a person who even kept that empire in his heart turn himself into a drunkard and a womanizer? You civil servants don't know anything, and you just want to show off your existence whenever you find an opportunity. Who else would I scold you?

"See His Highness Taisun."

Some of Fusang's clothes are no longer allowed to be worn. Now all officials are wearing clothes of the Tang Dynasty. After Li Xiang's improvements, they still look very good-looking.

However, Li Xiang did not allow the Fusang people to be regarded as the Tang Dynasty. People had to strictly control their bloodline, so every Fusang person was registered, and intermarriage between the two parties was not allowed.

Even if the two parties are intermarrying, the children must be recorded. Although it will be difficult for the Fusang people to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang has already planned it. Whether they are Koreans or Fusang people, these people If they cannot integrate into the Tang Dynasty, they must serve the Tang Dynasty for generations and become inferior people in the Tang Dynasty.

"Just say what you have to say. You don't have to do such grand gestures in the future. The most important thing is to work for me, not these complicated etiquettes. Even if you salute ten times a day, but in the end you can't do anything serious, then you should be dismissed from office. He has to be dismissed from office.”

Li Xiang stretched out his body. It was really not good to stay in the house all the time. It had been a long time, and the days of such indulgence should be over.

However, a person has to relax occasionally. If the nerves in the whole body are always tense, no matter what kind of things you do next, you will feel tired. Under such circumstances, you will not be able to exert your full efficiency.

"What His Highness said is that the Wei ministers are here to send reports to His Highness. Currently, there are more than 190 local officials in Fusang. More than 180 of them have sent replies. The remaining Wei ministers are probably also here. On the road, I will come to congratulate His Highness on the New Year."

Li Xiang already knew what he was talking about. After the last war, these people had unified changes. Unless there was something wrong with their brains, they would not provoke Li Xiang on this matter. authority.

"The issue of Chaohe is certainly important, but what's even more important is that the taxes at the end of this year are based on the tax rates in various places. How many people are prepared to send this tax to the capital?"

Li Xiang and the others did not occupy much area before. Even including the territories of the Ito family and the Fukuda family, they only accounted for about 35% to 45% of the entire Fuso, so there is still a vast area. One of the symbols of power in the hands of these local officials was taxes.

"Returning to Your Highness, there are only fifteen local officials who have said that they will pay the taxes belonging to the imperial court when they come to congratulate you again."

Suzuki Nakatai came here to ask for a reward. He thought what he had done was very good, but Li Xiang quickly asked about the idea. It doesn't matter whether you come to congratulate him or not. As long as you hand over the money, it means you are truly surrendering. of.

There were only fifteen local officials at the moment, and the rest had not yet expressed their stance. The smile on Li Xiang's face immediately disappeared. It seemed that not enough people had been killed before. These people simply regarded themselves as children. Or maybe it's the same as the previous drama of congratulating Datang.

In the past, many nations came to the Tang Dynasty, but the problem was that those people sent some inconspicuous local products, and even took away a lot of good things from the Tang Dynasty. After all, it was they who got the glory. , and the Tang Dynasty continued this way for the so-called face.

This time Fuso officials thought it was like this again, so they just wanted to bring some useless things. Regarding the most important tax, many local officials didn't even mention it.

"What is Saburo Ogaga doing?"

When he heard Li Xiang mention this name, Suzuki Zhongtai knew what was going to happen next. Before congratulating Li Xiang, he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

"General Daheyuan is currently training his army. In this month, General Daheyuan has recruited 11,000 new soldiers and is currently training at the military camp on the southwest side of the capital."

Among the generals in charge of the army in the mausoleum, Tai still hoped to help Daheyuan, after all, the two of them had a friendship in the past.

"I remember that when Taro Ito raised his army, the daimyo of Ueno Prefecture once gave him a hundred war horses as a gift. Is this the case?"

Li Xiang's memory is very outstanding. He remembered this incident before, but later forgot about it. Now it is okay to use it for surgery. After all, you have also funded the rebels. Don't think that we have no memory.

"This is true when I return to Your Highness."

Suzuki Chutai said with a wry smile, there are so many people who don't pay taxes, which means that these people have evil intentions, and they are not really surrendering to Li Xiang, so they must kill another wave of people, this Ueno Daimyo people are unlucky.

"Then send an order to Gensaburo Ohga and ask him to go to Ueno to ask for the tax. If he can hand it over happily, then he will still be an official of Fuso's new court. But if there is any shirk, the whole family will be punished."

If we were on the land of Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang would definitely not issue such a harsh order, but now we are standing on the land of Fusang. In Li Xiang's eyes, you people are just slightly better than animals, so you don't have to care at all. The lives of the whole family, what kind of magistrate is he if he doesn’t pay taxes? What do you need a magistrate like you to do?

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."

After leaving Li Xiang's residence, Suzuki Chutai also wiped his sweat. He wanted to ask for rewards here. Who knew that Li Xiang saw his trick and didn't listen to him at all? There is no point in having too many people. If you can’t collect even a penny by then, why should I still let you add money to it?

Li Xiang's most important thing is actual interests. Mr. Suzuki understood it before, but after such a long period of peace, this guy turned out to be a little distracted. After this negotiation with Li Xiang, he finally understood. We will never do things like this in the future, otherwise, we don’t know how we will die...

You still have to work hard to serve His Highness. (End of chapter)
