New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 83 The Empire Is Not a Taker

"Yang Sanshi, you must at least abide by the rules when you go out to hang out. You used the fleet to avoid being wanted, and you didn't lose your food and drink while at sea."

"Now you don't want to repay your kindness. Instead, you keep complaining. Now you want to break your promise. Do you really think that there will be no royal law when you go overseas?"

Among the onlookers, the bearded Song He suddenly scolded loudly.

Seeing Yang Sanshi staring at him fiercely, Song He stared back not to be outdone.

He even took his brother a few steps forward, stopping only when their chests were almost touching.

"Ungrateful, despicable people! And you, do you really have no conscience at all?"

Song He's voice continued, and those who met his gaze quickly looked away, and some even lowered their heads.

"Is this man the sea hero you mentioned?"

Pointing at Song He who was confronting Yang Sanshi, Li Mingqi said:

"This person is quite interesting. He didn't show up early in the morning and didn't show up until later. He waited until we arrived before he came out to speak out. It shows that he is also very discerning."

Hearing Li Mingqi's comments about Song He, Liu Erhe shrank his neck and did not answer.

In the past few days, Liu Erhe got acquainted with Song He, a former pirate, because of little Wilson.

Because the two had very similar temperaments, Liu Erhe helped Song He recommend Li Mingqi.

Because the Xinming Empire does not yet have a complete official selection system, there are only two ways to become an official in the Xinming Empire at this time.

The first way is to have excellent grades and good performance in school. Because when Li Mingqi is looking for people to work, he is always willing to choose from these people first.

The second way is to be recommended by important officials of the empire. For example, Wang Chuan was arranged by Sun Laifu to accompany Li Mingqi to see the American bison with him.

Although I was a little embarrassed because I met the Yin people in the end, I can still be considered successful now.

Although Wang Chuan's artillery regiment is somewhat unworthy of its name, it is almost equipped with Imperial 130 mortars and a small amount of experimental tube rockets (simplified version of RPG).

But they were also real heavy weapons. Sun Laifu was quite jealous of those heavy mortars in Wang Chuan's hands.

But there is no way. In order to ensure the marching speed, the First Brigade of the National Defense Forces can only equip light mortars at the company level, the kind used in military exercises.

After improvements, the performance has improved a lot, and the range of one thousand meters is not too shabby.

Considering the convenience of carrying, they are all of small caliber. If the caliber is small, the shells will definitely not be much bigger.

After watching the salvo fire of 230 heavy mortars from Wang Chuan's unit, Sun Laifu lost interest in looking at his own 'small steel cannon' again.

In his words, Wang Chuan's artillery regiment blew up a large area, but if replaced by the "small steel cannon" of the National Defense Force, it would not be as loud as a fart.

To be honest, a one-thousand-meter shooting range and a seven- to eight-meter killing range are enough, but I’m afraid of comparison in everything.

So Sun Laifu reluctantly asked for four Type 130 mortars from Li Mingqi to form a direct heavy artillery company.

At this time, Yang Sanshi, who was speechless by Song He, simply stopped arguing with Song He.

He once again turned his attention to Li Mingqi, who was watching the excitement:

"Just tell me whether you want to let the brothers leave or not. We just want an accurate statement today."

"If you nod, then the brothers will praise you for your generosity. If you need anything in the future, just ask."

"If you shake your head and refuse, we brothers, although we dare not say that we are all good at each other, we still rolled over from the pile of dead people."

Seeing that Yang Sanshi still dared to speak cruel words to Li Mingqi, Song He knew that these people were finished.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Sanshi finished speaking, the furious Liu Erhe led someone to use the butt of a gun to popularize the laws of the Xinming Empire to them, letting these people know what the imperial charter was.

Yang Sanshi, who had been beaten up, looked a little bloody, his face was bruised, and he was still staring at Li Mingqi to demand an explanation.

After stopping Liu Erhe, Li Mingqi asked a young student who was following him:

"How many people in the Xinming Empire still pretend to be pure and obedient people?"

The young students around him had outstanding academic performance in the Royal Academy, and he selected a few of them to practice with him.

In the future, I will be released as a county magistrate, town magistrate or something like that.

At this time, the young student he asked took out a notebook, flipped through it a few times, and then gave the specific number.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are more than 300 people who are unwilling to cut their hair but have obtained an imperial ID card, and there are 113 people who are unwilling to cut their hair and have a temporary residence permit."

Nodding, Li Mingqi looked at the next young student and ordered:

"You can arrange to have people notify those pseudo-pure and obedient citizens holding temporary residence permits.

Tell them that the Empire will not retain people without any skills after their temporary residence permit expires, and let them go wherever they like."

"By the way, take these people to the construction site. When their wages can cover the shipping fee, let them leave."

"Remember, these people will be deprived of the right to join the Xinming Empire in the future and put on the blacklist!"

Do you really think Li Mingqi has no temper?

He's not a saint, so he can't use the empire's welfare to support these foreigners, right?

Sometimes people have to make a clear distinction between themselves and outsiders.

Treat your own people with all kinds of benefits.

How to treat outsiders...I'm sorry that the Xinming Empire doesn't have the extra supplies to support outsiders.

Now the Xinming Empire is not self-sufficient, and all its income relies on Li Mingqi's deception and abduction on the west coast' (crossed out)...it all depends on his hard work.

If it was used to build bridges and pave roads for the people of the empire, and to provide education and medical care and other livelihood facilities, then Li Mingqi would definitely approve it immediately without saying a word.

But if you want him to spend money on outsiders, I'm sorry...the empire is not that rich yet.

Even if he had that kind of money, wouldn't it be good for Li Mingqi to use it on the people of the empire?

So now it is necessary to start a large-scale clean-up operation in the empire.

It has been such a long time, even a stone should be moved by Li Mingqi's sincerity. But those people still treat him as an outsider, so they can't blame him for not upholding national justice.

Even our ancestors have said that if you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.

Judging from the empire's fiscal revenue, the current Xin Ming Empire is not even considered poor. It would have to be classified as very poor.

Compared to other dynasties, the current state of the Xinming Empire would be typical of militarism, but who said Li Mingqi was not an ordinary person?

After Yang Sanshi saw Li Mingqi showing him a kind smile, he finally felt relieved.

It seems that this fifteen-year-old little emperor of the New Ming Empire is easy to fool.

Yang Sanshi and others, who were thinking about taking further advantage, were picked up by the Jin Yiwei before they could react and were taken to the factory area.

When he finally understood what happened, one of them had a pair of gloves stuffed into their hands, and they were moving bricks on the construction site in a daze.

It's not that they didn't think about resisting, but the corpses of white people hanging on the racks around them clearly told them that these guys who called themselves the Xinming Empire were not benevolent masters.
