Chapter 95 Fishing Tax
In addition to Zheng Yiguan's matter, another object of close concern of the sea wolf is the current attitude of the Fujian government towards the sea wolf.
Because Zhu Qinxiang, the governor of Fujian, who took office last year, wanted to add a political achievement to him with the blood of the sea wolf, Yu Xiaotian showed a surprisingly toughness. First, he attacked the shore and then fought against the officers and soldiers, killing the officers and naval ships gathered in Nanri Water Village, causing Zhu Qin to advance and suppress Nanri. The island's plan ran aground and was impeached by all parties.
For various reasons, Zhu Qinxiang was eventually dismissed, and Zhu Yifeng, the former political envoy of Fujian, was appointed by the imperial court as the new governor of Fujian and appointed as the governor of Fujian on the spot.
After Zhu Yifeng took office, his attitude towards the sea wolf is also a priority that the sea wolf must pay close attention to. After all, the sea wolf is fighting against the whole province of Fujian on its own. Although the sea wolf has great technical advantages, it does not have any advantage in terms of economy and manpower.
And Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to fight with the Fujian government immediately. At present, the situation at sea is complicated. Zheng Yiguan suddenly rose and added an unstable factor to the sea, making the Fujian sea change.
In addition, Xiaotian is now concentrating on expanding his various industry and agriculture in Tamswan and Keelung on Taiwan, which not only needs to invest energy, but also consumes a lot of human, material and financial resources.
most of the soldiers are now being sent to Taiwan Member Island by him. In addition to being soldiers, these soldiers are also a very good labor force. Except for wartime, it is impossible for these people to raise them all and only let them do some drills, otherwise it is a serious waste of manpower.
Therefore, considering this, Yu Xiaotian began to move the soldiers of the barracks to Danshui in batches. In addition to continuing to maintain training, he also asked the soldiers to do some infrastructure.
These soldiers are young and strong, and have strong organizational discipline. Once they do some basic work, they can be used by a few ordinary immigrants, especially for many projects that require more manpower. After the soldiers work, they can have a great effect. Force.
Recently, both freshwater and Keelung are carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction. The main work focuses on building roads and canals, as well as pioneering. This is the basis for the future sea wolf explosion of population, grain explosion and industry on Taiwan Island. Doing these things well will undoubtedly play a vital role in the development of sea wolf on Taiwan Island in the future. The role required.
Therefore, the current garrison on Nanri Island has been reduced a lot. The barracks of the originally lively barracks have also begun to be gradually deserted. Every few days, a ship will leave Nanri Island full of soldiers, or go to fresh water or Keelung, so that the sea wolf will be in March of the sixth year of the apocalypse. The number of soldiers stationed on Nanri Island has been sharply reduced to about 400. These personnel can only meet the needs of the Dazhai and Shangzhan District of Nanri Island, weakening the defense force of Nanri Island.
In addition, after the end of the Battle of Puxi last year, the sea wolf's sailors and warships were also mobilized in large numbers, and some of the elites were used as private boats and were sent to the Guangdong-Guangzhou area to earn more financial resources for the sea wolf.
So six years after entering the Apocalypse, the sea wolves had few troops on Nanri Island, and the main marine forces were scattered everywhere, strengthening their control of their territory.
In order to meet the huge consumption of financial resources, under the suggestion of the governing hall, the sea wolf began to implement the method of imposing fishing taxes on the territory under their effective control.
The fishing tax is levied directly on fishing boats that go to sea to fish. Every fixed fishery along the coast has sent fishing patrol boats. These boats patrol the fishing ground and require fishermen to pay fishing taxes to sea wolves when they enter the fishing.
There is no fixed amount of fishing tax, but it is only required that fishing boats must pay one-sixth of the catch to the sea wolf as fishing tax, and when these fishing boats enter the fishing ground, they must also hang the red flag issued to them by the sea wolf before they can enter the fishing ground for fishing.
The sea wolf is responsible for protecting these fishing boats to ensure that they will not be harassed and looted by pirates when fishing.
After the sea wolf controlled the Xinghuafu of Fuzhou and the coastal area of Funing Prefecture, the sea wolf has begun to vigorously fight against the large number of pirates operating on their territory, making the sea much calmer and making the fishermen much safer when they go fishing.
But after all, the sea wolf ships are less populated and can only focus on some larger pirate groups, but the attack on dozens of small pirates with only one or two ships is a little weak.
These small pirates, with few people and small boats, usually mainly fish for a living, but they only do one vote. Their strength can't do big things and dare not easily * large merchant ships, so fishing boats have become their main target of aggression.
A considerable number of coastal fishermen are actually doing such things. Most of the fishermen suffered a lot. At most, the fish they worked hard to catch were robbed by these little pirates, and most of them lost their lives. The ships were robbed by them. Some fishermen were forcibly taken hostage. The fishermen went to sea to fish in addition to fish. The fishermen hate the storm that may come at any time and the invasion of these small pirates, but there is nothing they can do.
Now Sea Wolf has introduced a fishing tax policy, established a patrol system in some major fishing grounds in their control, and sent some ships to act as piracy boats to patrol these designated fishing grounds. While controlling the fishing grounds, it also protects the fishing boats that pay fishing taxes to them, so that they can avoid being protected by small stocks of the sea. Worries about theft and invasion.
And the sea wolf patrols the fishing grounds and also engages in some fishing work when they are free. Once they encounter a storm at sea, they sometimes make a guest appearance in rescue work to salvage some suffering fishermen.
Although the sea wolf wants to take one-fifth to one-sixth of the catch from the fishermen, for the fishermen, they avoid the risk of going to sea fishing and may be caused by small pirates*.
At first, some fishermen were unwilling to accept the practice of sea wolves and refused to work in the fishing grounds designated by sea wolves, but ran to the sea where some sea wolves were not designated as fishing grounds for fishing.
After discovering this, those small pirates dared not enter the fishing grounds designated by sea wolves, so they can only act on the sea that are not under the strong control of sea wolves.
And the sea wolf members also received instructions to deliberately indulge these small pirates and leave them alone for the time being, asking them to help the sea wolf to complete the collection of fishing tax.
As a result, under such circumstances, many fishermen who are unwilling to pay fishing taxes have increased their risk when they go fishing at sea, and they will be beaten by small pirates* from time to time.
So some broad-minded fishermen went to the fishing grounds designated by the sea wolf to fish and paid fishing taxes to the sea wolves according to the requirements of the sea wolf. However, after doing so, they found that the yield of fishing in the sea wolf's fishing grounds was higher. Even after paying the fishing tax, the catch was better than that of going to the non-sea wolf exclusive fishing grounds. The amount of fishing is large.
And when fishing in the sea wolf's fishing ground, they are also very safe. There are no eye-catching small pirates who dare to run to the sea wolf's fishing ground*.
After calculation, fishermen still found that fishing in a fishing ground controlled by sea wolves is more profitable than not fishing there.
At the same time, the sea wolf also sent people to sit in various fishing markets on the shore to act as so-called fishermen. However, they are responsible for the sale of the catches harvested by fishermen with sea wolf fishing grounds, but they do not care about the catches at the sea wolf fishery, and let other fishermen continue to market them. Peeling.
The sea wolf's people in the fishing market are supported by the sea wolf group behind them. Although the local fishermen are powerful, they are regarded as local snakes. At first, they tried to use some cruel means to drive the sea wolf people out of their sphere of influence, because the sea wolf people touched their interests.
But as long as there is a fisherman who is cruel to the people sent by the sea wolf, the sea wolf will do better than them.
In the current barracks, the sea wolf has specially selected a group of ruthless and quite good personnel, and formed a special service team with about 200 people. Yu Xiaotian did his best to give these secret service personnel the best equipment. In addition to the normal distribution of flins to them, he also sent people to They have created many tools needed by Jianghu people to fly around the eaves and walls, such as flying tiger claws, and equipped them with short knives and hard knives, and made a kind of close-fitting leather armor for them.
This leather armor is a bit like the riot armor of later generations. It is divided into several large pieces, cut the thick cowhide into a suitable shape, and then decorated it with canvas. It is very suitable to wear on the body and basically does not affect their normal activities. It is not only light and comfortable, but also provides certain protection for the wearer.
This special service team has become a man specializing in dirty work. It is divided into ten small teams, a small team of 20 people, and can basically go to the land to carry out some small-scale operations.
And this special service team has become the nemesis of these fishing tyrants. Some fishing tyrants rely on their advantages as local snakes to try to unfavor the sea wolf members who move on their territory. As long as they dare to fool around once, they will immediately be brutally retaliated by the sea wolf special service personnel.
In just over two months, several big fishermen in more than a dozen fishing markets in the coastal area inexplicably caught fire at night, and the whole family, old and young, were "burned" to death.
(I just came back from the hospital, and my son's condition is somewhat stable! At least you can rest assured! The hospital is really dark. The cost of more than 1,000 yuan a day is really hard for me! However, as long as the disease can be cured, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. No wonder there is a saying that after decades of hard work, you will return to the pre-liberation! Alas! In addition, thank wdj1972, Wandering Jiangnan, and speechless watching the rewards of three old friends! Thank you for your support!)
