After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen ordered again: "Go back and count the information of these soldiers, and pay compensation according to the standard of death in battle."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out of his mouth, Zheng Zhilong's expression changed.

Before Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, the standard of pensions was dispensable or nothing, anyway, there was not a few taels of money to burn and bury.

If some local rules pay attention to some death attendants such as waiters, then the burial money handed out may not be enough for the funeral.

But after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, this situation changed completely.

The first is to burn and bury the silver. According to Emperor Chongzhen, it is to compensate the silver, but whether it is an officer or a soldier, they still like to call it burning and burying the silver.

The silver for burning and burying was directly raised from ten taels to 100 taels.

There are ten times as much.

Based on the calculation that an ordinary family spends ten taels of silver a year, it is enough to spend seven or eight years, or even more.

There is also the Shrine of Martyrs.

Emperor Chongzhen said that if the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, the incense in the Martyr's Temple will not be extinguished.

What are Han people most afraid of?

The most feared thing is not the loss of incense and blood after death?

Even if it is an ordinary family, if there are only daughters but no sons, then others will say that they are dead.

The so-called unparalleled, is that no one will continue the incense and flesh and blood.

And with the Martyr's Temple, even if the bones and blood are broken, the incense will not be broken.

Based on these two points alone, Zheng Zhilong can actually accept it.

What really matters lies in the content behind it.

For example, tax exemption, tax exemption, and corvee exemption.

In short, as long as someone in the family died fighting for the country, in addition to the pension money, the incense of the martyr's shrine, and the condolences that the local government must have every year, all taxes and corvees will also be exempted.

This is the real big head. Who could avoid these in the past?

Rich people?

Rich people are not good, even if they are sitting on tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, they are not qualified.

Only scholars, and at the very least, scholars who have achieved the reputation of scholar.

Not even children.

So there will be such a wonderful thing as a contribution.

Nowadays, the privileges unique to these scholars can be obtained by sacrificing for the country, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Zheng Zhilong was thinking in his heart, but Emperor Chongzhen said, "By the way, what does that island look like?"

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while, then said carefully: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the island is huge, and I took the fleet for seven or eight days to complete the journey. If His Royal Highness Tang had not found a source of water on the island , I got some meat, I am afraid that I will also encounter big trouble."

Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, Zheng Zhilong continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. There is a lot of poisonous snakes on the island, so it is not suitable for living."

Emperor Chongzhen had a strange expression on his face.

What kind of thing are poisonous snakes?Didn't it mean that the more poisonous the poisonous snake, the better the meat?

Even something like puffer fish that can kill people if it is not handled properly is almost eaten because of its deliciousness, a mere poisonous snake?

It's not like crayfish, it's eaten artificially, and it's considered a fecundity!

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply said, "It's okay, anyway, there are so many people in Ming Dynasty, there are ways to eat snake meat. Besides, snake gall and snake skin can be used as medicine, so just order people to be careful and arrest them."

It's just that until now, Emperor Chongzhen has not figured out which island this broken island is.

Please forgive the time traveler, Emperor Chongzhen, for his pitifully little knowledge of geography, which has basically been returned to the teacher. There is no such place in his memory.

Where is Li Jiapo still?

I never heard that Lijiapo is also rich in poisonous snakes.

Indonesian big island?

There are quite a lot of Indonesian monkeys on it, and I heard that there are also a lot of poisonous snakes, but it is far from what Zheng Zhilong said, right?

Besides, in Zhu Yujian's memorial to himself, there is no mention of anyone on the island—although there is a cabin, but no one has been found for several days, probably extinct?

But Zheng Zhilong suddenly said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are some creatures captured by the minister from the big island outside, and presented to His Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen was now interested.

As long as you don't capture Uncle Hei, you can capture anything.

It's just that when Emperor Chongzhen saw the two creatures locked in the cage, he still couldn't help but groan in his heart.

In the famous historical reference book "I want to be the emperor" that I read before I traveled, these things were mentioned in the book "The Resurgence of the Great Han Empire", that is to say, this big island was mentioned.

Although I don't know which book it is, Emperor Chongzhen was very impressed by this kind of creature that likes to box.

The most important thing is the good things made by the foreign students who studied on that big island in later generations.

What kind of kangaroo essence, kangaroo treasure, kangaroo whip, what kind of kangaroo three treasures have been made.

And the name will make people instinctively think about nourishing yin and strengthening yang. How could anyone not be interested in these things?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen was very interested, even if he didn't need this thing at all, he was still interested in what he should be interested in.

Not to mention that the aboriginal girls over there often lead this thing to go shopping in the supermarket - put a mask on the kangaroo, then lead it out, buy something and throw it in the bag on its chest, and it's all done.

Much more convenient than a shopping cart.

And this thing can also be used as a bodyguard - it is also a strange thing to be born to box.

As for the other petite one, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that thing.

Koalas are cute and cute, but they are a bit picky eaters.

Eating only eucalyptus leaves is the signature of this gadget.

After returning to the house, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Did Tang Wang tell you what the name of this big island is?"

Zheng Zhilong thought about it, but still didn't think about whether Tang Wang Zhu Yujian named this island - probably not, even if he did, what is the name of the emperor here?
