readx Zhao Haiming touched the neck of the black Andalusian war horse that Zhao Lie was riding in front of him, and was pleasantly surprised.
Black Andalusian war horses are extremely rare.
Most Andalusian war horses are gray or brown.
This horse is tall, has long legs, and has solid muscles.
Visual inspection The horse's shoulders were only half a head shorter than Zhao Haiming's, and its coat was black and shiny.
What's more rare was its gentle temper.
Zhao Haiming's gentle caressing with his hands did not cause any major dissatisfaction.
The horse only tilted its head slightly.
"Lie'er, in the battle formation, it is absolutely impossible without cavalry.
Jiannu is especially good at riding and shooting.
This horse is very splendid.
Only by using this cavalry can we compete with Jiannu."
The role of cavalry is still Zhao Haiming Those who know something, the Ming army suffered a big loss in this regard when they were defeated by Jiannu in a row.
"Father, there are less than two hundred horses on Shidao," Zhao Lie smiled bitterly.
How could there be so many Andalusian horses?
It was extremely difficult for these horses to reach Shidao.
Nearly ten horses died on the way.
"Father, the Portuguese craftsman from Shidao used this stallion to mate with the Mongolian mare he purchased.
Currently, nearly a thousand mares are pregnant, and nearly forty mares of this kind are pregnant.
In these years, there will definitely be There are thousands of horses available."
Zhao Haiming smiled bitterly when he first heard about it, wondering what kind of use this little horse was, but after hearing it at the end, he understood Zhao Lie's idea, and using it to breed horses to build his own herd would only take longer.
Alas, it is not easy to build a foundation in the first place.
You cannot force anything.
He is already deeply proud that his son can achieve what he is today.
It is not easy.
The next day, Li Mingyu came from Chishan Town to meet Zhao Haiming.
Li Mingyu is now sitting in Chishan and controls the real power on behalf of Zhao Lie.
However, after the busy work of dividing land, composting, registering wasteland and other general affairs, it is extremely leisurely.
This time Zhao Lie knows that Zhao Haiming has arrived. , Li Mingyu hurriedly came to Shidao to see him.
The two hadn't seen each other for several months, during which a lot of things happened in the two places, some of which even subverted their previous understandings, and they had a lot to talk about.
The two chatted for a whole day, knowing that they were having a great time talking to each other, and others didn't say much. disturb.
"Ming Gong, the second young master is a genius.
He knows everything from internal affairs to military affairs.
In a short period of time, he built a town, a shipyard, a navy, a military camp, a horse farm, etc., and also established a fleet of Hongyi galleons."
Li Mingyu was filled with emotion, "Children here can go to school for free.
Although it is just a literacy school, it is also a moral education."
This is what Li Mingyu admires most about the good deeds of all the people.
As a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, he applauds this kind of good governance.
However, it was organized by a young warrior.
He is really worthy of the authority of the Ming Dynasty. , a great mockery of the Ming scholar-bureaucrat class who spoke of being loyal to the emperor and loving the people, and whose virtue was criticized by the common people.
"It's over-praise, sir.
Lie'er is young after all.
If you praise him too much, he might become arrogant."
Zhao Haiming said modestly.
Of course, Li Mingyu, who knew the owner well, could see that he was quite happy.

Of course, Zhao Haiming was proud.
This son has created such a foundation, and as a father, I am naturally proud of myself.
"It's just, sir, that the Second Young Master is planning to create such a situation on Shidao.
Will there be people who are willing to take advantage of it?
This must be guarded against."
Li Mingyu pointed out the biggest concern.
The foundation of the Zhao family is not deep, and it is still unable to deal with the robbery by some nobles.
Resistant.
"What you said is absolutely true.
This matter is also my biggest concern.
Our family's foundation lies here, which is also the reason why Mr.
Bai is here.
After all, Lie'er has not experienced the officialdom and does not know the dirty things involved.
I still need to mention it here."
"Point."
Zhao Haiming cupped his hands, showing a rather trusting attitude.
This is also what Zhao Haiming is most worried about.
Shidao is only of a rough scale, so he must be cautious.
"Don't worry, sir.
Over the past few months, I have been traveling to Jinghaiwei a lot, and I have a lot of friendships with the commander Tongzhi Wu Hai.
At the moment, the severe winter has just passed, and the transformation of Shidao is not known to anyone in Jinghaiwei, nor is it known to the other thousands of households. .
However, this will happen sooner or later, so we must make plans early."
Li Mingyu had contacted Wu Hai several times.
For five hundred taels of silver, Wu Hai, unlike Liao Cheng, lives in a local household.
He has no interest in the Zhengyin commander and has no way out.
He just wants to be an official safely and receive some benefits.
He is so accommodating to the news in the guard station.
It would be disrespectful to reject the extra money obtained from a convenient favor, and Zhao Mingquan should make friends with Zhao Haiming.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir.
I will also contact Dusi Yamen.
Furthermore, within this year, Lie'er will open up another place for future use.
Shidao still needs sir to control the overall situation."
Zhao Haiming revealed a bit of information .
The word "Cunning Rabbit Three Caves" appeared in Li Mingyu's mind, and he felt relieved.
After all, he was also on this warship, so of course he hoped it would be stable.
The next day, Zhao Haiming, Zhao Lie, Zhao Meng, Wan Ji, Li Mingyu, Mr.
Fabio, Alexandra, Luo Changshan and others gathered together.
"Sir, gentlemen, in short, starting from today, the Shidao Council has fully taken over the affairs of Shidao, including the construction of the town, the establishment of tax laws, the collection of taxes, the establishment of courts, and the patrol room.
All the necessary things have been completed.
The personnel are paid by Shidao's taxes," Mr.
Fabio said in his weird Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
"Among them, annual tax increases must be approved by the majority of the entire council.
Taxes cannot be increased without reason.
This tax law will be displayed to everyone at the door of the council chamber."
These matters follow Macau's old practices, but there are not many changes.

Zhao Haiming and Li Mingyu stared at each other.
When Zhao Lie invited them to attend the meeting, they were also curious about this kind of administrative method and wanted to see the difference with Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the council, which is dominated by businessmen, has such power.
Except for the garrison of troops on Shidao, all other matters are in its hands.
To increase taxes, it must be negotiated with it and must obtain majority consent.
How amazing.
For thousands of years, China seems to have been unified in governance from the top down.
During the Ming Dynasty, military and political power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor and the cabinet, and all kinds of government orders came from them.
Shidao has delegated power.
Although the two of them have profound experience, they don't know why.
"Mr.
Fabio, it's very good.
The meeting hall has been basically established.
We will have to worry about more matters from now on."
Zhao Lie nodded with satisfaction.
"Furthermore, we need to establish the tax items for land.
One hundred acres will be taxed one for every ten acres, and ten acres will be taxed for one hundred acres."
Second, there is a tax of 3 per ten for 1,000 acres, 4 for 10 for 3,000 acres, 5 for 10 for 5,000 acres, and 6 for 10,000 acres.
Although Shidao is a town and there is no land tax at the moment, we should plan ahead.
It’s better to set rules.”
At this time, everyone in the room looked at Zhao Lie in stunned silence.
"Sir, isn't this just forcing everyone to take their land and hide under the gentry's door?
How can we collect wealth?"
Li Mingyu asked, stumbling with his mouth.
In his opinion, this was an unfeasible way to bring disaster. .
"In our territory, the officials and gentry work together to pay for the food and work as errands, including my Zhao family."
Zhao Lie gave his answer.
"It's ridiculous.
How can the gentry of the Ming Dynasty rest?
How can the thousands of years of precedents be broken?
This is the way to self-destruction."
Zhao Haiming slapped the case and rebuked.
He also thought that Zhao Lie was too simplistic and did not understand such a wealthy gentry family.
With such intricate forces, this kind of behavior that threatens their interests will inevitably cause the gentry to suppress it with all their strength, and even cause the Zhao family to be exterminated.
Li Mingyu also shook his head slightly.
He still had too little experience.
He didn't know how deep the foundation of the Ming gentry was.
Even the emperor was helpless.
If it was really so simple, how could many knowledgeable people in the Ming Dynasty not be able to do it?
That's because they simply couldn't do it. , because if they do this, they will die badly, as Zhang Taiyue is proof.
"Father, this is being carried out within our territory."
Zhao Lie stood up and replied.
"As for the foundation of the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, others will have to uproot it.
Let's wait and see."
Zhao Lie did not back down.

He believed that the peasant army and the slave-buildingers would not let him down.
Zhao Haiming and Li Mingyu understood what Zhao Lie was talking about.
It must be that slave creation and civil strife would destroy the current Ming Dynasty.
The Zhao family took advantage of the situation.
Zhao Haiming twisted his beard and said nothing.
Zhao Lie has stated many times that the Ming Dynasty will be exploited by internal strife and the slaves.
Now, the external invasion of the slaves is confirmed, and the internal strife is coming. . . , Zhao Haiming was already a little afraid of Zhao Lie's crow's mouth.
Could it be that the civil unrest could reach this level?
Zhao Haiming thought about it but it was not possible to implement it immediately, so he did not continue to object.
Fabio didn't know the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but Wanji and others were following Zhao Lie's lead.
