Chapter 747

The United Kingdom has always been known for its heavy tax burden. Not only normal taxes such as commodity transaction tax and personal income tax, but also exotic taxes such as war tax and poll tax. The last Natal rebellion was due to the poll tax imposed by the colonial government of Natal.

It was also because of Natal's rebellion that Ade immediately subconsciously opposed Rock when he mentioned the war tax.

"The war tax is not a poll tax. Those Africans don't have much money, and their average annual income is only three to five rands. To force them to pay the poll tax is to force them to rebel. We levy a war tax on the propertied class. Families with an annual income of more than [-] rand, or household assets of more than [-] rand, these families have high income and rich assets, and they will not rebel even if they charge more." Rock is really stable. Cut accurately and ruthlessly.

"The middle class doesn't have much money, so it's better to find large-scale enterprises directly, especially those trade-oriented enterprises that specialize in import and export." Ade joked on his face. If this standard is used, it is estimated that southern Africa is eligible to pay taxes. There are only a few people such as Rock, Christian, and others.

"No, I can't get it. Congress won't approve it if we ask big companies to collect war taxes." Rock said in a serious tone. The millions of public relations expenses of Nyasaland Agricultural Company and South African Company are not used for raising pigs a year.

Democracy is a nice thing to say, but in fact, everyone knows what’s going on. Federal MPs in southern Africa have funders behind them. No matter how nice these funders said before they were elected, they will not serve the voters wholeheartedly after being elected. It is the boss behind the MP.

Relatively speaking, it is better to be a state councilor or a city councilor. After all, these councilors are at least from the state. If they go too far, someone will really smash the glass of his house at night.

"Why don't you agree? Only by maintaining a strong military force can the federal government better protect the interests of you capitalists." Ade bluntly said that these large companies in southern Africa are actually richer than the federal government, and many of the federal government's expenditures are Necessary expenses cannot be avoided, but these large companies have countless ways to avoid taxes.

"No, the federal government maintains a strong military force to protect all southern Africans, and big companies should not pay the bill." Rock firmly spoke for himself, and he would not give an inch when it comes to interests.

"Go away, I'm upset when I see you." Ade pushed him away, the face of a capitalist is really ugly.

"No way, the Prime Minister can also swear?" Rock was really surprised. He had known Ade for so long, and he had never seen Ade lose his temper.

There is really no secret about the government agency. In less than an hour, the entire Prime Minister's Office knew that Viscount Nyasaland was kicked out of the office by Viscount Halewood, but no one thought that Rock was about to fall out of favor and be thrown into the sidelines. On the contrary, this It fully proves that Rock's family is in full swing.

Even Ada knew about it at night.

"How does it feel to be kicked out of the office?" Ada's tone was not without envy. Alfred Milnardo was a gentle person, and Rock was so angry that he hadn't been dismissed yet. Treatment, many officials want to queue up to enjoy.

"It's not very good, so I came to you for comfort." Rock didn't take it to heart, let alone be complacent about being scolded, and he wasn't a masochist.

Ada lives in the castle that was used by the Ministry of Finance. This castle has changed hands several times over the years. After Ada became the director of the General Administration of Taxation, she renovated the castle and lived here with peace of mind. It’s amazing. Surprisingly, no one complained.

Rock has a high position and authority, and the head of the State Administration of Taxation has a lot of power. If it is someone else, he must avoid suspicion, but Ada doesn't need it.

"Which aspect?" Ada bit her spoon and winked a little too blatantly.

"The Ministry of National Defense will not be able to pay the salary next month—" Rock lamented in his heart, and it is estimated that he will have to sell his luster to solve the problem.

"How can someone like Derek Patience be qualified to be the Financial Secretary of the Ministry of Defense? If his level is in the Rand Bank, he would be a lobby manager at most." Ada immediately restrained herself, and teasing men should be done in moderation.

The officials of the federal government are a tragedy. Although southern Africa, like the United Kingdom, also implements the civil service system, it is amazing that there are still illiterate officials in southern Africa.

Derek Patience is definitely not illiterate, and he is also a top student at the University of Bristol, but he was studying law at the University of Bristol 20 years ago, and he is indeed not very proficient in finance. What Da said is similar, maybe not as good as a graduate of Nyasaland University majoring in accounting.

Not maybe, but for sure. The University of Bristol was founded in 1876. It was Bristol University College 20 years ago. It was renamed the current University of Bristol after merging with several other schools last year. It is really better than hardware and software. Level, the University of Bristol is really not as good as Nyasaland University.

"So what, Elvis can't even spell his own name right, and he is also the director of the Ministry of Education." Roque was also helpless. When the federal government was established, qualified officials were rare, such as Derek Patience Those who have gone to college are high-quality talents.

As for Elvis, this guy has now become the laughing stock of the federal government. About three months ago, Elvis misspelled his name when he signed a document, and then this document appeared on the In the official document issued by the Ministry of Education of the whole country.

Now Elvis has been forced to resign, but this incident has become a laughing stock of the federal government, and the image of federal government officials has been greatly affected.

The rejuvenation of officials promoted by Adelaide recently was stimulated by this incident. With the development of southern Africa, more and more highly educated young people have entered the federal government. These young people are energetic, enthusiastic, and full of enterprising spirit. Relatively speaking, some officials left over from the previous colonial government are increasingly unable to keep up with the pace of development in southern Africa, and are already on the verge of being eliminated.

"Have you heard? Minister Smother is going to work in London—" Ada reported the good news.

"Really?" Rock was overjoyed.

This is indeed good news. Yang Smozi and Roque hated each other when they met for the first time. The Ministry of Education has always been the key monitoring unit of the Ministry of Justice. To put it bluntly, Roque has been eager to get rid of it And then quickly, it's a pity that he couldn't get rid of it all the time, and now Yang Shi Mozi is going to leave, which is simply a surprise.

"Prime Minister Esquith invited Minister Smoltz to serve as a cabinet advisor." Ada was well informed, and Young Smolzy was indeed influential in London.

In Rock's consciousness, Jan Smoltz has always been a Boer, but in fact Jan Smoltz is not, although Jan Smoltz's father is a Boer, but Jan Smoltz was born in the Cape pure British.

Yang Smozi and Cecil Rhodes had a close relationship. Later, Yang Smozi accepted the invitation of Paul Kruger and became the Minister of Justice of the Transvaal Republic at the age of 28. After the outbreak of the Boer War Become a Boer coalition commander.

After the end of the Boer War, Yang Smolzy went to London many times to seek loans, and the self-government of southern Africa was also inseparable from Yang Smolzy’s efforts. However, Yang Smolzy did not want southern Africa to be independent, but wanted to Create a southern Africa with close ties to the UK.

From a certain point of view, Yang Smother and Rock have similar thoughts, maybe they are the same kind of people, that's why they pinch each other when they meet.

"It's a good position." Rock agreed with both hands. Since we can't be friends, then don't stay together to challenge people, it's better to stay far away.

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than staying in the Ministry of Education." Ada told the truth, it was really not easy for Yang Smozi to persist until now, and it would have been Roque who had left earlier.

In another time and space, when the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, Yang Smolzi served as the Minister of Defense, Minister of Justice and many other important positions.

Because of Rock's involvement in this time and space, Yang Smother went to the Ministry of Education.

If there is no comparison of public education in Nyasaland and Transvaal, then Yang Smother's life will be better, but the public education in Nyasaland and Transvaal is very good, and then Yang Smother Smotz was forced to sit on wax. No matter how hard he tried, public education in other southern African states was incomparable to Nyasaland Randsva.

"Smozi's personal ability is fine, but there is a problem with the direction of his efforts. The direction is wrong. The more he does, the more mistakes he makes." Rock is not pitiful. In terms of attitude, even though the strength of the Chinese is getting stronger and stronger, Yang Smozi still cannot accept it. The reason why Orange is so stubborn has a lot to do with Yang Smozi.

"Then you have to be careful—" Ada absolutely maintained her position with Rock. Yang Smother went to London and was indeed capable of causing trouble for Rock.

"It's okay." Rock is as stable as Mount Tai. Yang Smother has connections in London, and Rock is not alone. If he wants to cause trouble for Rock, he must pass the two barriers of Winston and Neville first.

"What should I do next? Do you want to become a minister of the Ministry of Education?" Since Roque said it's fine, then Ada is fine, and her tone is relaxed, as if the federal government is their mom-and-pop shop.

"Look at the Prime Minister's arrangement. If the Prime Minister can't find someone to take over, it doesn't matter." Rock doesn't care. The Ministry of Education really needs to be rectified. The fact that the director misspelled his name is too outrageous.

Under the leadership of Yang Shimozi, the work of the Ministry of Education is in a mess. It cannot be said that Yang Shimozi's ability is not good, and a clever woman can't cook without rice. The former old subordinates had to take care of them, so the Ministry of Education went from bad to worse.

If Roque were to be in charge of the Ministry of Education, among other things, Roque would definitely replace more than half of the officials in the Ministry of Education. Wouldn't the graduates of Nyasaland University be good?
