The cost of salt on the other side is not lower than that in the Song Dynasty, but the difference is that salt is fully implemented there, and then the fine salt is steamed in a more scientific way, which is the jade salt initiated by Wang Ju.

Although saving costs in all aspects, all of them are fine salt, and the cost per catty is still five or six cents.

When the sale is made, the government imposes some commercial taxes, that is, there is 5% commercial tax nearby, and 7% commercial taxes across the "city".

That is, five to seven percent of this five or six cents, so even if the shipping fee is added, it usually only costs ten cents in the hands of the people, and it is all processed fine salt!

Why is it so cheap?

Many areas in Australia are not suitable for farming, but suitable for ranch. The area suitable for ranch may be almost the same as the area of ​​the entire Song Dynasty today!

There is a way to get the fur to the Song Dynasty, but what should I do if I have meat?

Only pickled.

There are also some fisheries offshore. Although the current ship industry cannot extend the fishery to the deep sea, it is still not a big problem to catch sea fish in the continental shelf.

It can only be transported to the Song Dynasty for sale after pickling.

These are renewable resources, not like mineral deposits. Once mined, they will be gone. And now developing mineral deposits is equivalent to half mining and half wasted!

Therefore, it not only affects the livelihood of ordinary people, but also the most important commerce on the other side.

There is no special issue in salt tea, so the wine will be liberalized and the commercial tax will be mainly used.

But one difference is that the other side is absolutely uniform commercial tax. Including trade with overseas, property that is truly under the control of Wang Ju, must also be paid in accordance with the system.

It's a deficit at the moment, but I'm going to see how I want to see it.

As the population increases, taxes will also increase, and many people on the other side have also accumulated primitive wealth, encouraging them to march towards industry and commerce from a policy perspective. At the same time, with the increase of migrant people, the number of indigenous people has decreased and military expenditures has also decreased.

After all, they were islands, unlike the Song Dynasty, where strong enemies were staring at them around, especially in the north. As long as the island was conquered, there was no need to retain the army.

At that time, taxes could completely protect all expenditures.

But even Zhang Xingguan was not very clear about the latter, so he did not say it out, but only mentioned the reasons ahead.

However, everyone understood that in general, these migrants still serve various maritime merchants, whether they are temporary management agencies, officials, or taxes, but are only established for temporary management. The real income has been taken away by various maritime merchants.

Therefore, everyone looked at each other again, and this was not easy to deal with.

Actually, I was really wrong to think about it this way.

The reason for establishing these systems and taxes was that the islands on the other side had already had serious chaos. Therefore, Wang Ju formulated relevant systems and taxes when he was in Guangnan, and the islands on the other side stopped in chaos.

However, various systems and taxes are still very incomplete.

"Where is the law?"

"The law was basically promulgated according to the laws of our Song Dynasty, but there are many situations on the other side that are different from the Central Plains, so some minor modifications have been made."

Don't modify too much.

But it cannot be said.

"What about the imperial examination?"

"Your Majesty, science, science, imperial examination, and the people who dare to implement the imperial examination."

Zhang Xingguan was so scared that he shivered.

Zhao Xu was so happy that he asked again: "How many households are there?"

"Your Majesty, unlike the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty plans to make households and count their own households and count their own people there."

"Huh."

"When we started to migrate the people, the prince and the prince had in Quanzhou instructed us that we were Song people and Chinese people, so no matter how we migrate, we cannot forget this root. The Song Dynasty is our root. Therefore, there are two fundamental laws in the law. Anyone who forgets that he is Chinese will be killed without mercy, and anyone who marrys a foreign race will be killed without mercy. In order to implement this policy, all people must register at the government office and prevent it when they get married. Therefore, an ID card system was implemented for everyone and all household registration system was implemented."

In fact, Yan Da had already informed the court, but some ministers did not know about this matter, so they stuck out their tongues after hearing this.

"Wang Qing, didn't you say you should not discriminate against the barbarians and foreigners?" Zhao Xu asked Wang Ju.

Wang Ju walked out and replied, "Your Majesty, it is not a contradiction. It seems that there are a small number of barbarians among the migrant people. This is not allowed to marry foreign races, but it means that it is not allowed to marry overseas natives. This Chinese is not only Han people, but all Han people in the Song Dynasty, barbarians and foreigners are considered Chinese people. This is also a helpless move. They live on the other side of the sea, separated by thousands of miles of oceans, and the bloodlines that can be connected is bloodline. If they are close to the natives in other places, their bloodlines will be severely diluted, and they will naturally forget that they are from the Song Dynasty. Although they are a little radical, they have to do it for the sake of the Song Dynasty."

It's really a last resort.

Just like Lincoln, people who don’t know the roots think he is great.

However, he issued the order to kill the Indians on a large scale.

Wang Ju opened up the other side, first, to find a way out for the dense population, second, for wealth, and third, to promote each other and jointly subsidize and make progress together.

But he doesn't want everyone to become enemies of life and death hundreds of years later, across the sea.

Therefore, these two basic laws and textbooks are used to force brainwash everyone.

"So that's it..." Zhao Xu sighed a little, and then asked Zhang Xingguan: "What is the ID card system and the household registration system?"

"The household registration system is to register the detailed population situation of a family in the government. Every time an elderly person dies or a baby is born, they must go to the government to re-register. Anyone who grows to the age of fifteen must issue a separate identity certificate, which contains their own appearance certificate and other situations to facilitate the management of officials at all levels."

"Huh," Zhao Xu and everyone exclaimed again, as if... this method is really good. Can you get it from the Song Dynasty? So Zhao Xu was stunned and asked, "How many people are there?"

"More than two million."

In the minds of Zhao Xu and others, they also thought that about two million people had migrated, but there was a large amount of arable land for the people to develop and cultivate, so the population will also increase rapidly. So over the years, it is quite normal to add hundreds of thousands of newborn babies.

Although this number is a bit large, after last year's population statistics, the Song Dynasty increased by 220,000 households every year. The Song Dynasty did not count the number, but counted households. If it were wars, one household could only have four people, but in peacetime, one household could reach six or seven people. Let's count it to the lowest point. Now there are at least five and a half people in a Song Dynasty. Then, more than one.2 million people will be added in a year.

So when this number was reported, everyone was not so excited.

In fact, Zhang Xingguan has severely shrunk here, and his real number of mouths has to be increased by another 2 million.

But can it be said?

In short, Zhao Xu is quite satisfied so far.
