Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"This is fine"

Look at the fields in the royal territory where tomato seedlings were planted.

A total of fifty seedlings were planted.

For now, don't worry about what I eat.

Farmers know how to grow tomatoes, which are a standard in home gardens.

But I don't know if the tomatoes in this world are the same as the ones I know, so you'll need to keep track of them.

"But ... the Greeks enjoyed it for ornamental purposes? How did you know they were vegetables?"

I ask Raymond.

Raymond replied.

"You know if you eat it?"

...... No, I usually don't eat anything suspicious.

Even if I say it's just like a tomato, I'll feed the dog first and then eat.

Because there is a possibility of tomato modoki.

Lymond is an adventurer.

"Does your Majesty know about this vegetable?"

"Well, there are many uses."

In addition, I was not good at raw tomato, probably because I had some tomato allergy in the previous life.

The tongue is slightly tingling.

Well, that didn't mean that hives came out and hungry.

For some reason, if you put it on fire, you won't feel uncomfortable ...

I don't know if this body is allergic to tomato, but I'm not good at raw so I don't eat.

However……

"Tomato sauce, tomato ketchup and dried tomatoes are delicious. The variety of dishes will increase."

"That's good!"

Raymond looks a little happy.

But that's it, to put it tough.

After all it is a tomato.

Well, tomatoes grow better in the absence of rain, and may be easier to grow on the Adernia Peninsula where summer rainfall is low.

"Well, tomatoes are good. First of all, let's talk about our future plans."

I have to convene the main vassals.

"Well, we got together today to decide our future policy."

I look around the collected vassal.

Raymond, Bartolo, Iar.

Ron, Rosward, Gram, Soyeon, Lulu.

Yulia, Tetra.

The above members.

They share the ultimate goal of centralization.

"We need to clarify what we will do to make the most of the 1,000 Tarants we have obtained this time. The first issue is the issue of civil rights."

In other words, it is a complete solution to the military refusal (strike) problem.

"Certainly, civil rights were legal equality and security of property, tax and military duty."

I nodded to Raymond's question.

"Sovereignty is literally that I control all the people .... In other words, you need to reprint your prints."

Making a law is not that complicated.

It's just a codification of the customary law.

The problem is to spread the law and its alternative duty, military service, across the country.

The royals have control of the land and command the people.

I have to take all of this and put it under my control.

Clan Rossais has already relinquished his registration.

There are examples of examples.

The question is how to force this to other clans ...

"Let's blur the contents. Nominally, I'll let you do it .... The custody of the Clan of Diber is already underway."

The worst clan family in my administration is the Diber clan.

They have slashed much of their territory, and have been sent many soldiers to show me loyalty.

Their finances are on the verge of collapse.

First of all, we promise them to take over the debt, etc., and let them reprint their titles only nominally.

In that case, the Clan of As will have to learn.

That way, a uniform tax system can be implemented throughout the country.

"The problem is that it seems that the royal family is taking over the land, because the royalties rejected being deprived of their land. Dad struggled with it ..."

Yulia muttered.

The problem is that.

If the power of the royal family becomes too strong, it will stimulate the tribes.

Is there any good sophistication ...

"What is national land?"

Tetra opened his mouth.

National land?

"Alms can be divided into royal territories, state-owned lands, and manor estates. The land owned by the royal family from ancient times is left as a manor, and other controlled lands are treated as state-owned lands. I can suppress some antipathy ... "

I mean ...

Does it mean that the Royal Treasury and the National Treasury are separated?

It seems to be confusing in the system…

It may not be bad as a political overtime.

"The distribution of newly acquired land is likely to be confusing."

Bartolo pointed out the problem.

Is the land won by the war a king? National thing?

It's a troublesome problem.

I want to be the king's, but some people will complain.

"Well, it's good on national land."

"Are you sure?"

Raymond tilts his head.

I guess it's inexplicable that I simply admitted.

"I don't change much when I divide it."

In other words, the royal stock is money that I can use freely, and the national treasury is money that cannot be used without the Senate or the decision of the Aussie Assembly?

In any case, the nobles gather in the center as nobles and let politics run as Senators.

With this, centralization is established.

Then there should be no problem.

I don't want to focus power on the king.

I want to focus power on the central government.

Dispersing power to a certain extent will make mutual suppression more effective.

That's enough for now.

"Instead, all the army should be seized by the king. It's the military that speaks."

"If you have such an idea ... I understand."

Lymond seemed to be convinced.

Now……

"But the rights and obligations of those who have the rights of civil rights ... except for politics, except for the specific legislation that will be boiled down later ... those who do not need the rights of the people, and For foreigners. "

Certainly, the law does not apply to Christian merchants.

It cannot be said that.

"I've actually been thinking about the specifics. I'm the only way out."

I say that and ring my finger.

Alice, who was on my side, handed down the papers to everyone.

The summary of the content is as follows.

"Civil rights"

Obligation

Direct tax service

Indirect tax Sales tax

·right

National law protection

Inviolability of property

Collection of interest is within 10%

Debt slave ban (possible bankruptcy)

All the free people of the kingdom of Rosais on the Adernia Peninsula. (Excluding those who have obtained civil rights)

"Foreigner"

However, in the case of stay for one year or more, capital tax (varies depending on the amount of assets)

·right

National law protection (limited)

Inviolability of property (with restrictions)

Remarks: Depending on the situation, forfeiture of property may be possible.

"How about like this?"

I ask everyone.

Everyone is groaning with a difficult face.

I personally think that it is not bad.

First, all citizens of the mainland are granted civil rights.

Grant limited citizenship to residents of the autonomous city.

Autonomous cities fully allow autonomy except diplomacy and the military.

Due to this, sales tax cannot be taken.

Because they spend on self-government.

Once it is collected, it is essentially the same as forcing tax payment.

However, writing in the guide box is not allowed.

It does not recognize any other political rights that may increase in the future.

In addition, the citizens of the Allied City are not granted subject rights.

Instead, they grant them national rights.

I acknowledge the protection of national law, property, and autonomy.

However, you have to pay taxes.

The autonomous and allied cities will no longer collude.

The autonomous city has a limited pride in possessing citizenship, albeit limited, and looks down on the allied city.

Allied cities lose power by taking on tax obligations and at the same time hate autonomous cities.

And I get the benefit.

In addition, the leaders of autonomous and allied cities are granted special rights as a special case.

Attach them who are leader nuclei.

It is always political leaders, such as the intellectuals and the rich, who revolt.

The rebellion, which has no political leader, is not much different from an uprising. It's just a riot.

And they instigate the people because they want rights.

Then just give it from the beginning.

This greatly reduces the benefits of taking the risk and committing a rebellion.

It should be noted that civil rights holders are limited to adult men and magician license holders because of the obligation of military service.

"Your Majesty. Can I ask?"

"Good!"

Ron raised his hand.

Please tell me any questions. There may be something big flaws.

"Why did you change the land tax to a rent?"

"Because special administrative districts called autonomous and allied cities have been created inside Japan."

Let's say it's good because the alliance city pays taxes equal to or higher than the people of our country.

The problem is the autonomous city.

After all, it gives the autonomous city great autonomy, exempting all taxes.

Of course, self-government requires money, which is why they are collecting land and commercial taxes.

The burden will be equivalent to our people.

However, roads and other infrastructure are stipulated by the government.

This is absolutely necessary for a unified infrastructure.

But that doesn't matter for many commoners.

With their own money, infrastructure is being built on their land without paying taxes.

That's not a good story.

So I changed the name.

This alone should greatly change your impression.

Magic of words.

"aside from that?"

Rosward raised his hand.

"Well, rent is due to the commoners renting royal land and state-owned land, doesn't it mean that it doesn't apply to land owned by autonomous or allied cities? "

"Yes, there is."

At first glance, only the mainland residents pay rent, which seems to be a disadvantage ...

Autonomous and allied cities collect their land taxes separately, so the burden remains the same.

Also, some of the land in the autonomous and allied cities has been confiscated by me as a royal territory, so if a resident of the autonomous or allied city rents the land, I would pay me a rent.

"Do you have any other questions?"

I look around.

There seemed to be no objections or questions.

"So, first of all, this is a rule. Let's boil it down later. Next is ..."

Is it military reform?
