Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 837 Freshly Baked Hai Ka Ka
Hai Dayu stretched long, then raised his hands and waited for a long time, but the familiar shaking feeling never came as promised.

After being stunned for a long while, he didn't react suddenly until there were rustling sounds around him.

This is not his small broken boat in southern Fujian, but Kunming County in Jinzhou, the southern prefecture of Mount Gaoli.

Kunming County is located in the later Nanbang City of Sacheon, about [-] to [-] kilometers west of Mount Fu, and is considered a beautiful seaside city.

It's just that now, Schuan City, which is still called Kunming County, is quite poor.

Although it is a county, there are only 900 households with about 800 people. Most of them are fishermen, and a few are farmers. In Kunming County, there are only about [-] people.

Of course, this poverty is relative to later generations. In Hai Dayu's eyes, this piece of territory that belongs to him is quite rich.

Every year, the fish catch alone is worth thousands of catties, and the total amount of coarse and fine grains can reach [-] shi.

Excluding the tribute paid to the king, he still has about eight thousand five or six hundred shi of grain and seven or eight hundred catties of fish left.

This tax is not light, because the land that can be sealed is not a good land.

Based on the average annual output of [-] jin of grain per person, this territory can only produce a total of [-] shi of grain.

A tax of 15.00 shi was collected on 18.00 shi of grain, which is almost a tax rate of [-]%. If fishing catches are included, it can reach almost [-]% to [-]%.

This tax rate is much higher than the 5.00% collected by the Tang Dynasty in the country, and it is also higher than Zhang Zhou's current average of less than [-]% in the Central Plains.

But at the same time, 20.00% of the Tang Dynasty was also collected during the Taiping period. After the Anshi Rebellion, if it is considered that warriors from all over the country messed around, it could almost reach [-]%.

But in comparison, the tyranny of almost 30.00% of the tyranny that the nobles of Goryeo originally received in Kunming County appears to be quite benevolent.

Under this tax rate of 18.00%, the average Korean can still have more than 800 catties of grain left over a year, which is two catties and three taels per person per day.

Since there are not many Korean rice planted at this time, apart from removing the husks and keeping the seeds, there are still about two catties.

But this is an average number. In fact, one catty a day for the old and weak can almost hang their lives, so young men and healthy women who have to participate in heavy physical labor can reach about two and a half catties a day.

These grains, together with some melons, fruits, vegetables, and occasional animal meat and seafood, can barely eat without considering making clothes, diesel, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and getting sick.

It can also be seen from this that under the pressure of the original Goryeo nobles, what kind of life these low-level Goryeo sticks lived.

It's just that the current 'ultra-low' tax rate stipulated by Nobunaga Murong is to buy people's hearts, break the local rule of the Goryeo nobles, and facilitate him to stabilize the grassroots. What will happen after that is not certain.

In Kunming City, Hai Dayu is very satisfied. He is alone. The food and catches are enough for him to support two high-ranking retainers (housekeepers) and a guard of 60 people.

At the same time, because it is close to the sea, you can get a little salt to subsidize the economy, which can be regarded as an extra income, and life is good.

But there is a premise that Hai Dayu can't have too many wives and children. Once there are too many, he, the Kunming Lord of [-] shi, may become a poor ghost.

In Murong Nobunaga's current plan, princes below the king and uncles can directly address titles. For example, if Hai Dayu is an earl, he can be called Uncle Kunming.

But he is just a viscount, so he can't be called a Kunming son in a weird way, so the viscount and the baron are collectively called the king, and in the stick language and the Japanese language, they are commonly called Kaka!

And Hai Dayu was able to become the honorable Viscount Kunming Lord Hai Kaka from a Danmin, not only because of his lifeless fighting, but also because of his luck, which is really good.

During the naval battle of Hailing Island, his warship stopped a small boat, and it turned out that there happened to be General Anlang, the second member of the Korean Navy who had just fallen into the water and was rescued.

So Hai Dayu boarded the boat with a harpoon in hand, killed two Korean sailors, and captured the big fish together with his comrades.

Then in the water battle of Linjin River, Hai Dayu fought bravely. He boarded the enemy ship first, and the first hammer after boarding the ship killed General Zhonglang, the sailor of Linjin River in Korea.

This kind of luck, I really can't even envy him, who knows what kind of pighead that unlucky sailor Zhonglang will be, how could he appear in the first row as a senior officer.

So, when the third brother, Hai Sanxia, ​​was just an inspector, and the second brother, Hai Erxie, was nothing, and his eyes were already reddened, waiting for the king to conquer the kingdom of Japan, Hai Dayu was already a feudal lord with an income of more than 1 shi .

The woman behind her is still very young, and she is still very temperamental. She is the daughter of the former magistrate of Kunming County, and she can speak a little Tang Yin.

The county magistrate of Kunming County died in an unknown place in the resistance a few months ago, so after Hai Dayu was sealed to Kunming County, he took over everything from the original county magistrate, including his house, money and daughter.

If it wasn't for the fact that the county magistrate's main wife was a bit older and the two concubines had already run away, Hai Dayu wouldn't mind having a big quilt to sleep with.

The woman was naked, and dressed the big fish in the sea with some fear and care.

In the past, he was just a big fish in Baishuilang who was not even allowed to go to the shore, how could he have received this kind of treatment, looking at the beautiful carcass of the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel agitated.

He was about to push the woman down on the bed, when there was a bang bang bang bang sound outside the door, and a broken gong voice rang out loudly:

"Sea King Eight, donkeys, come out quickly. You have to go to Jinzhou to meet Mao today. If you are late, you will have to eat boards."

Hai Dayu was startled, and suddenly remembered that today is a big day for these vassals to report to Jinzhou in the north.

King Murong entrusted three viscounts, two barons, 43 inspectors, and more than 200 government soldiers in the entire Shannan Prefecture.

In order to manage their vassals, large and small, a Shannan Prefecture observation and disposal envoy was set up in Jinzhou, the capital of Shannan Prefecture.

It is used to coordinate the payment of tribute, military service and labor service for the vassals of Shannan Prefecture, mediate their conflicts, and gather their guards for drills every month.

Hai Dayu hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. Standing outside was a slender man with a horizontal knife on his waist.

This is Hai Dayu's original boss, Ah Shui, the chief fire chief of the water army Henghai Town.

Along with Wang Ah Shui, there were also ten sailors from Henghai Town and ten horse infantry from the Zub, Khitan and other tribes from ten thousand households in the grassland.

They came to send Hai Dayu to his post and help him stabilize his position.

Because there are less than 6000 people under Hai Kaka's rule, and there are 2000 strong men alone. If Hai Kaka came to take office alone, he might be beaten to death.

So the Ba Mansion specially sent [-] heavily armed soldiers to build up Hai Dayu's momentum, and they would not leave until Hai Dayu could grasp the situation.

Seeing Hai Dayu coming out, Wang Ah Shui's eyes revealed a look of extreme envy and jealousy.

They are soldiers from Henghai Town of the Forbidden Army, and they are only here to support Murong Nobunaga to attack Goryeo, so they cannot become vassals under Murong Nobunaga.

I, Zhang Shengren, have considered all aspects. He just wants people like Wang Ah Shui and envies people like Hai Dayu.

Only in this way, after Wang Ah Shui returns, will he be full of envy and exaggerate how beautiful it is to be a vassal outside.

With their propaganda, those poor and reckless fools in the country will have the motivation to run outside.

And even if he could, Wang Ah Shui couldn't do it, because he was quite unlucky. Not long after the battle started on Hailing Island, he fell into the sea due to a mistake in jumping gangs. Even this life was picked up by luck, so there was no credit for it. He was knighted.

Before Hai Dayu could speak, Wang Ah Shui made a move, and a dozen or so soldiers surrounded Hai Dayu, all pretending to say congratulations to Hai Kunming for his promotion, congratulations to Kunming Jun for accepting his bride, and so on.

But to sum it up, there is one meaning, you Haidayu are now rich, and our brothers are envious and jealous, if you don’t eat a few big meals, the sour water in your heart can’t be suppressed.

When Hai Dayu was in his hometown, he was a poor ghost who would cry when he saw a mouse!How can I be willing to reward my brothers so much, I just start crying poor as soon as I open my mouth.

But Wang Ah Shui didn't give him this chance anymore, he covered Hai Dayu's mouth, and shouted to the soldiers around him with a smile: "Kunming Lord has a reward, fat sheep and fine wine are enough!"

After shouting, a group of people laughed and shouted thanks, while running to kick and beat the stick people in the city to help them pull out high-quality white rice, fat and juicy chunks of pork from Hai Dayu's warehouse, Thick big salted fish that looks very salty at first glance, and bleating little fat sheep.

As for any fresh sea fish, octopus, shrimp and crab, etc., let alone the fishermen under Hai Dayu's rule to bring them directly.

"Wine, where's the wine? Where's the wine you gave me, Mr. Kunming?" A majestic fortune-telling man looked at Hai Dayu with a grin and howled there.

Although the corners of Hai Dayu's mouth twitched in distress, he had nothing to do with these bandits, so he could only wave his hand and ask the Korean housekeeper beside him to quickly fetch some wine from the treasury.

I look forward to these live bandits eating and drinking enough to go on the road quickly, so as not to delay him going to Yingmao in Jinzhou.
