Although the Han family has always been a wealthy family on Yin Island, if divided by ingredients, it can be considered a larger landlord. However, in general, it is a very kind family. He has never relied on the power of his family to bully other families. He often helps the poor people on the island. At the same time, he also takes the lead in leading the people of the village, investing in building roads, building wharves, and ancestral halls. He also does a lot of public welfare work, even organizing village heroes to resist pirate harassment. Therefore, the Han family has a good reputation on the island and is almost hereditary position of the chief of Yin Island.

A few days after the Time Traveler captured Qingdao, Han Quanming happened to go to Qingdao to pay the Germans this year's salt tax. However, after arriving in Qingdao, he found that Qingdao had changed its authority. Qin Zheng had met Han Quanming at that time and accepted the salt tax. At the same time, he told him that the Time Traveler would take over all Germany's power in Jiaoao, which means that Yindao will be under the jurisdiction of the Time Traveler from then on.

After Han Quanming returned to Yin Island, he spread the news throughout the island. Not long ago, he brought a valuable gift to Qingdao to meet the time travelers, begging the time travelers not to invade Yin Island. This time Qin Zheng did not accept the gift, but also promised Han Quanming that he would never invade Yin Island. He would send people to Yin Island for inspection in the future, and asked Han Mingquan to return to the island to prepare.

Today, Han Quanming was sitting at home reading a book. When he heard Han Gaocheng send someone to report that the overseas Chinese political commissar Qin came to the island, he was shocked. This was the largest official of overseas Chinese in Qingdao. Unexpectedly, he actually came to the island in person, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and came to meet Qin Zheng. Before leaving, he ordered his family to kill pigs and sheep and prepare a banquet to entertain Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "We just come to the island to take a look. Mr. Han, please don't be polite."

Han Quanming smiled and said, "It's almost noon now. Chief Qin has come to this Yin Island. No matter if he wants to sit at the villain's house, he will prepare a little wine and pay a little respect to the landlord."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "I'm not busy. I want to take a walk on the island. I'll eat dry food outside at noon. If you have something to do, go back and work hard first. When we finish transferring, we will naturally go to find you."

Han Quanming hurriedly said, "If you are not busy, you are not busy. Even if Chief Qin is interested, the villain will be his own salary."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "It's good that this is the case. If you don't know anything, we can ask you, but you will have to accompany us to eat dry food at noon."

Han Quanming also smiled and said, "It is also a villain's honor to be able to accompany Chief Qin to eat dry food." Then he hurriedly ordered people to go back and asked the family to keep the prepared banquet until the evening.

Qin Zheng turned to Han Gaoxiang again, and Han Gaozhi said, "You brothers, go busy. I will send someone to you in a few days to discuss the construction of the salt field in detail."

Then Han Quanming accompanied Qin Zheng and others to watch two other salt fields and several fishing villages on the island. At the same time, Qin Zheng and others also learned about Han Quanming some of the situation on the Yin Islands.

Generally speaking, there are not many residents on Yin Island, only a dozen villages with about 10,000 people. Although there are a small amount of farmland on the island, they are still mainly fishing and salt making. Most families are fishing together. Salt making is the business, and most daily necessities need to be supplied outside the island. Therefore, the markets in Langjun Port have always been very prosperous. In the past, most of the merchants who came to Yin Island were mainly Jiaozhou. After Germany forced to rent Jiaoao, Qingdao began to develop, and there were more merchants from Qingdao, and there were also a small number of merchants from Rizhao, Yantai, Dengzhou, and even Dalian. Generally, the salt purchased by merchants from Yin Island can be bought at twice the price outside the island.

Although the salt tuition that Yin Island needs to pay every year and other taxes are very high, because Yin Island has the pillar industry of salt making, the income of the island residents is generally good. Commonly known as the salt tuition is "clear water to make money". Compared with ordinary farmers, life is much higher. Moreover, some wealthy islanders are not willing to stay on Yin Island, allowing merchants from all over the country to earn the intermediate price difference. Therefore, they also invest in and set up spots on land, purchase industries, and sell salt fish and other products. However, the industries of the islanders are basically concentrated in the coastal areas of Jiaozhou Bay, mostly in Jiaozhou, Jimo and other places.

Although Yin Island is rich, it naturally became the target of green forest robbers from all sides. Moreover, Shandong has been a place where robbers have been infested since ancient times. However, Yin Island was still an overseas island at this time, which isolated most green forest forces. There were not many pirates in the coastal areas of Shandong and were not very powerful. Although they occasionally came to invade and plunder some people and property, it did not pose a great danger to Yin Island.

After Germany forced to rent Jiaoao, it still followed the tax system of the Qing Dynasty and did not build it on Yin Island for the time being, so there were fewer other miscellaneous taxes such as additional consumption and donations. In the past two years, the tax paid by the residents of Yin Island was less than under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, the Chinese-Japanese concept formed by Chinese civilization for thousands of years still made Yin Island residents very disgusted with the rule of the Germans. After all, Han Quanming's family was considered to be some people within the Qing Dynasty system, and Germany's lease of Jiaozhou Bay also affected the business of the Han family.

The time travelers are known as overseas Chinese. They are indeed like Chinese people. They speak standard official language. Some people can speak Shandong dialect, which greatly reduces Han Quanming's resistance. Moreover, Han Quanming has seen some of the style of the People's Army in Qingdao, and Qin Zheng did not accept his gifts, which made Han Quanming have a certain favorable impression of the People's Army. However, he is still unclear about the attitude of the time travelers towards Yindao, and he feels a little uneasy.

After walking around the island, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Quanming led Qin Zheng and others back home. Han Quanming is the richest man in Yin Island, and his family is naturally very grandly built. There are three courtyards in total, and there are two branches on both sides. The main houses are gray tiles and white walls and vermilion pillars. The doors and windows of the main courtyard are inlaid with glass.

Although glass has been introduced to China in this era with foreigners and has been put into production and production in China, it has been not a rare thing, but it is not an ordinary family who can use glass on a large scale.

It was still early at this time. Han Quanming ordered the kitchen to start preparing a dinner, and then invited Qin Zheng and his group to go to the main hall to serve tea.

After the tea was finished, Han Quanming said: "Chief Qin, Jiaoao is now controlled by the People's Army. This year has ended in recent years, and the salt tax has been paid as usual. I don't know what changes will happen in the salt tax on Yindao next year, so that we can prepare for it."

Qin Zheng said: "Mr. Han, we can understand your concerns. I can tell you clearly that we will have a brand new administrative tax system, but the measures of the whole need to be further discussed in our content before we can confirm that I guess it will be introduced around the New Year."

After hearing this, Han Quanming's face couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. It turned out that he believed that the time travelers would continue to use the Qing government's tax system like Germany. Although this system had many loopholes and shortcomings, it had been used for more than 200 years. The islanders had been used to it for a long time. Moreover, under this tax system, the islanders' lives were also good, so they could tolerate loopholes, and Han Quanming did not want to change. However, Qin Zheng clearly stated that the time travelers would have a brand new administrative tax system, which also broke Han Quanming's hope.

Qin Zheng saw the change in Han Quanming's face, so he further explained: "Mr. Han, I know you don't want the previous system to change, but our rule is different from the Qing court, so there are naturally a brand new tax and administrative system. Moreover, the Qing court's system has many problems in both the form and the implementation method. I think you know this too."

Although Qin Zheng's words were very disregarded by the Qing court, and he also clearly stated that the Yin Island in the future would be under the rule of time travelers rather than returning to the Qing court, Han Quanming did not feel any disgusted. First, Qin Zheng and his group were not citizens of the Qing court, and it was reasonable to not be in charge of the Qing court; second, Yin Island had been leased to Germany by the Qing court. Strictly speaking, before the expiration of the lease period, the sovereignty of Yin Island did not belong to the Qing court. If the time travelers seized Jiaoao from Germany, they naturally inherited the sovereignty of Yin Island. Han Quanming did not think that this group of overseas Chinese would return Jiaoao to the Qing court. Then overseas Chinese had to implement a new administrative set of administration on Yin Island, and the tax system was reasonable.

Although Germany did not change the various systems of Yin Island after renting Jiaoao, Han Quanming also knew that it was because Germany had not rented Jiaoao for a long time, and the focus was on building Qingdao, so the Yin Island was not taken into consideration, but sooner or later there would be changes. However, what system will this group of overseas Chinese implement on Yin Island and what impact will it have on the social life of Yin Island? Han Quanming is naturally worried about this for his family's interests or his sense of responsibility for the entire island.

At this time, Qin Zheng said again: "Although we do not have any detailed rules for the whole, there is one thing that Mr. Han can rest assured, that is, no matter what kind of system it is, we will never increase the burden on Yin Island, but will correct and eliminate the loopholes and disadvantages of the Qing Dynasty system, and will also solicit and consider the opinions and attitudes of the islanders. At the same time, we will do our best to promote the social and economic development of Yin Island and improve the living standards of the islanders. Just now, I agreed with Han Gaoxiang and Han Gaozhi brothers that at least 100 pairs of Douzi salt fields will be built on Yin Island next year, and attract islanders to participate. This can greatly increase the salt production of Yin Island and open up more sales channels, so that the lives of the islanders will naturally be improved. In addition, we will also eliminate the pirates in Jiaozhou Bay, maintain a stable life in Yin Island, etc.."
