Chapter 375 New Tax Law
"Which of you still have opinions, you can put them forward, I am not an unreasonable person." Morea listened to the screams of mercy that seemed to echo in the council hall, with a gentle smile on her face. "As long as you raise an issue, I'll fix it."
Hearing Morea's words, the dignitaries in the council hall showed cold sweat on their backs and foreheads. Is this to solve the problem raised, or to solve the person who raised the problem?
Judging from the attitude of the Grand Duke Regent, it should be the one who solved the problem. Forget it, let's listen to him, life matters, anyway, it's not them who lose the most benefits, but the real power aristocrats who live the most nourishing life.
"Is there any comments?" Seeing the silence below, Morea nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's discuss the issue of re-customizing the tax law."
"I think the tax law established by the Rockman Kingdom is extremely unreasonable. It has come to a time when reform is urgently needed. It should not charge a fixed tax according to the population, but should collect taxes in stages according to individual income."
"Please tell me in detail, Your Excellency." After hearing Morea's words, some nobles bowed and saluted, and some people were interested in the new tax law proposed by Morea.
"My thinking is this, first calculate how much money a family of five needs in January to maintain normal food and clothing, and then use this amount as the standard. Only after a person's monthly income is deducted and exempted by this amount can the money be taxed. ."
"What if it doesn't exceed?"
"Exemption." Morea's eyes were clear, and she said two words that the ruler of this world would never say. He just carried over the concept of personal income tax in the previous life.
The poor with too low income are not eligible to pay the tax, only the high-income people are eligible to pay the tax. Well, the higher the income, the more tax you pay.
The nobles and ministers had different ideas in their hearts after listening to the new tax law that Morea wanted to re-issue.
"Grand Duke Morea, according to your opinion, the richer people pay more taxes, while the poorer civilians don't have to pay taxes?"
"Well, that's right." Morea nodded, "I really don't understand, what is the exploitation of the mud legs that are slicing in the ground all day long, and the idea of collecting taxes from those rich businessmen is the right way."
"Grand Duke is wise." Immediately, a group of nobles sent dragon farts in time.
"Your Majesty, your new tax law is good, but if the lords don't have the right to set up a tax law, how will they get their income? Many lords rely on taxes to make a living."
"Trash!" Morea muttered in a low voice,
Then he raised his head, "I cut their right to set up their own tax laws, but I didn't deprive them of their right to collect taxes. They can collect taxes in accordance with the new tax laws. Half of the income tax is paid to the royal family, and the remaining half is owned by the nobles. "
"Half? Is it too much."
"It's none of your business. You're not a real power aristocrat. What are you worrying about?"
"My daughter is going to marry a powerful aristocrat, of course I should be concerned."
... After figuring out Morea's thoughts, many nobles and dignitaries talked a lot, and then another dignitary raised his own question to Moreya:
"Grand Duke Morea, if some lord, his territory is too barren, resulting in his territorial very poor, and most of the territorial residents do not meet the tax standards of the new tax law, then this lord does not have much income. ."
"That's right!" Morea nodded.
"In response to this situation, should some special conditions be set to lower the tax collection standard?"
"No, if the subjects are so poor that they have no tax to collect, then the noble should find a way to bring his subjects to become rich, instead of waiting for me to make laws for special circumstances."
...After nearly a day and a night of discussions, brainstorming, and the various data that Morea had collected for him through the secret intelligence agency Bella Deen left him, the new tax law of the Rockman Kingdom was finally revised in one day and two nights. Finish.
Then, the new tax law was quickly printed in the palace, and along with the decree of Morea depriving the noble lords of the two rights of legislation and custom tax law, it was sent to all parts of the country through the well-established transmission system of the Kingdom of Lockman.
When the noble lords of the Rockman Kingdom received the summons from the capital, most of the nobles were confused and dissatisfied, and some nobles were resentful.
They are the group who treat the civilians in their territory as adults, and the reform of the new tax law has seriously violated their use, because under their crazy exploitation and oppression, almost none of the territorial people under their rule has reached the new level. The standard by which the tax law can collect taxes.
If the new tax law is really implemented, they can hardly even receive a single copper tax. In this situation, how can these brutal noble lords endure? Of course, they who have seen the succession ceremony of Morea, of course, dare not understand face resistance.
They adopted the method of sabotage, treating the decree delivered by Morea with the teleportation array as air, as if it had never been seen before, directly ignoring it, and still implementing the old decree.
...
In the palace, Muria, who was already refreshed, once again summoned the leader of the secret agency that Bella Deen left for him, and issued his own order:
"Control the whole country, pay attention to those lords who have fiefs, and see if they abide by the decrees and custom-made new tax laws that I issued, and secondly, those officials, whether they have implemented my new tax laws well.
Submit a list of all non-servants to each of your departments, and I want to see who will take my orders as a deaf ear. "
"As ordered, Archduke Morea." All the leaders of the secret agency were ordered to retire, leaving only a handsome black-haired middle-aged gentleman.
"How about the collection of evil creatures in Scarlet?" Morea asked without looking up, writing the pen to handle government affairs.
"With the information and assistance provided by those colleagues, the evil creatures in the royal city have been collected almost. Next, I plan to collect the evil creatures in the acropolis around the king city."
"Well, what kind of creatures should be collected and what kind of creatures should be killed, you should count them yourself."
"clear."
"Go back."
Just as Morea was waiting for the real power aristocrats to respond to the power reduction order issued by him, and after the promulgation of the new tax law, the reaction from all parts of the Lockman Kingdom.
The giant scout troop that went to the western sea area of the kingdom to explore the large cloud island came back. To Morea's slight surprise, not only did they not have any casualties, but there were more than 100 cloud giants. The local residents brought from that large cloud island.
