Warhammer Throne

Chapter 653: ,tax

After chatting with his wife for a while, after dinner, it rained outside the passenger boat. The early winter rain always brought a deep cold to the bone marrow. Ryan hugged his son Devon Hill to teach him to read and speak. The little guy is very close to his father. He kissed him on his face and smiled happily, while Surya was beside him and he just watched Ryan and Devon Hill playfully and did n’t talk. In fact, she does n’t like her son to be too close to herself. She hopes Devonshire will also be close to Ryan. Because she was influenced by knighthood teaching and influence since childhood, Surya always thinks that if the boy stays in the fat heap all day The future will not become a powerful knight.

After playing for a while, Devon Hill was sleepy and wanted to sleep, Sylvia came over and took him away, Ryan said to Suria: "Surya, you take a rest first, I will go to the deck to turn A turn. "

"Are you going to rain outside?" Surya said casually.

"I heard that rainy days are more suitable for hanging out!" Lane said with a smile. "I saw Karad and Afu talking in the hallway and went out to see."

"Well, you go." Surya said nothing, and she motioned for Ryan to go early and return early: "Let's wait until Devon Hill falls asleep later."

Ryan came out of the room, and the oncoming day was rainy weather. The sky above the Rick River was already covered with clouds. Thunder rolled over the sky, and the raindrops hit the land on both sides of the river and the river bank. Hitting the ship's side and hull, the rain was not very heavy, but it was very dense. Ryan looked up at the gloomy sky and walked out of the corridor.

There are a large number of towns and outposts on both sides of the Rake River. There are many ships on the river channel. Many ships were wetted by heavy rain. They had to temporarily stop on the shore. When they saw Ryan coming out, the old guard standing at the gate immediately saluted : "Duke!"

"It's hard work." Ryan patted the shoulders of two old guards with certainty: "What about Bertrand?"

"Sir Bertrand is resting in his room." An old guard answered loudly.

"Well, nothing happened?" Ryan asked casually.

"It's okay." The old guard saluted again: "Except for this **** weather!"

"Haha ~" Ryan smiled. He walked out of the corridor and out of the cabin. The cold wind was blowing outside. The long black hair of Ryan was flying in the air when he walked up the second floor corridor. At that time, I found that Alfred and Carrard were standing here to see the scenery. The **** champion of the fairy in the lake immediately took a step and walked past: "Afu, Carrard, you are very interested, this time to come out to see the scenery ? Are you afraid of being hit by a wave? "

"The cabin is too stuffy, and it smells bad." Carrard wore a Earl of Brittany gown, his brown hair floating in the cold wind, the holy grail knight helpless He shook his head: "The smell of copper."

"Yes, there are disgusting deals everywhere." Alfred looked a little indignant, and he shook his head: "Just inside the cabin, the group of merchants was sitting together, and the mouth and the mouth were gold coins, gold. . "

This time Ryan returned to Britannia not only by his party and the knightly army brought by Karad, a large number of Noor merchants, even many small nobles boarded a passenger boat to Brittania, got After Ryan ’s pledge, everyone is willing to try their luck in Britannia, especially Mousilon, the business opportunities contained in the rejuvenated and vigorous Knight Kingdom make these Nurs smell like blood Sharks are uninvited.

Ryan also expressed his welcome. He has no reason not to welcome these people. There are many ways to revive Mousilon, and large investments are definitely the fastest.

"Normal, profit-seeking is human nature, or the nature of businessmen." Ryan walked a few steps, he touched the railing that has been wet by the rain, smiled: "Just like the pursuit of glory is the nature of the knight, the pursuit Piety is the same as the priest ’s nature. "

"I know this." Carrard took the initiative to speak. The strong man in the sanctuary walked to Ryan's side. He looked at the rain screen with some consternation: "Lord Ryan, you told me that the businessman's pursuit of gold followed The knights pursue the same for the Holy Grail. "

"Yeah, I have no right to stop merchants from pursuing interests, just like I have no right to stop knights from pursuing the Holy Grail." Ryan closed his eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing on his face: "Since that, what else do you have to struggle What about it? "

"I'm just a little displeased." Carrard's tone was very hard. He moved two steps laterally and then quickly walked to Ryan: "Lord Ryan, do you know what those businessmen are talking about?"

"What are you talking about?" Ryan asked.

"They are chatting and saying that this is good. There is no real tax in Brittany, only the customs duty and the city tax. Now they can make a lot of money!" Alfred said very depressedly: " A group of (harmonious) profiteers! They talked hotly when they thought of the low taxes in Breton, especially the little Krupp, who was very excited and said that he could finally be freed from Noor ’s high business taxes . "

"Ha ha ha! Did he still say that as long as conditions permit, he can even move all his family's property in Noor to Musilon?" Ryan laughed more than once: "I dare to say, if he really dared to do that, So it ’s a matter of time before Nur ’s gallows, Emilia will not let him go. ”

"That's not there." Alfred couldn't help laughing when he listened, and shook his head after the laugh: "So, Ryan, I sometimes wonder, are these rich people going too far? They Obviously making so much money, obviously so many poor people are struggling on the hunger line, why can't they take the initiative to help the poor? "

"The rich donate too little money to the church?" For this, Ryan disagreed. He shook his head: "Just the little Krupp you said, he has donated no less than five dollars to the Justice Church in the past ten years. Wanjin Mark, in this battle of Noor, he and his father, the old Krupp, donated another 25,000 gold marks. In this regard, we cannot ask for more. "

For this, Alfred and Karad have nothing to say. The new Patriarch of the Western Brittany parish had to spread his hands: "Well, maybe this little Krupp is indeed generous, but Not every businessman is like this. I saw a lot of businessmen in Noor who only paid their own money and ignored people. I ca n’t say that they would go on a gallows like this. But ... "

"Ha, Afu, you've grown up." Ryan nodded and said with a smile: "I just rushed at you and didn't rush up to blow their dog's head. I want to praise you."

"I'm already over the age of impulse, if it was about ten years ago when I arrived in Marienburg with you." Alfred shrugged: "Imperial laws stipulate that the sacred freedom of citizens' property, I just want to say, Is there no way to cure these rich people? For example, to collect more taxes? For example, to limit their excessive inflation? "

"I also feel that these profiteers cannot always be found to make money too easily." Karad also agreed.

"Don't be funny, Afu, Karad." Ryan looked at the water and heavy rain of the Rick River and sighed: "Implementing heavy taxes on the rich? In fact, the richer the tax, the harder it is to levy an analogy. , Francois is my elder man, Surya ’s father, everyone in Brittania knows that he and his principality of Winford are the richest, he has several vineyards, and the annual wine trade alone The profit is more than 50,000 kronor, so who of you dare to tell him that you have made too much money in wine, and we must impose heavy taxes on you? "

Francois is the Holy Knight of the Holy Grail. He has money and food in his hands, noble blood, and has a strong influence in the kingdom. He also has an elite army "Qualaris Champion Knight Brotherhood "Alfred and Carrard thought a little, and they both shook their heads with a wry smile.

A bad deal is a war.

"The richer and more powerful people, the harder it is to collect taxes. You should have a deeper understanding of this at Alfred." Ryan began to talk about the difference in the tax system. He looked at the cold rains of early winter: "Businessmen Not to mention the heavy taxes, even if they are ordinary taxes, they will find ways to avoid taxes or move the tax burden downwards. For example, if Emilia levies heavy taxes on the Krupp family, then the ending will be the whole. The price of Seoul and the price of firearms and artillery go up together. "

Alfred and Carrard's expressions became serious now. They knew that Ryan had something to say.

There are roughly three methods for taxing individuals, which are head tax, proportional tax and excess progressive tax.

The head tax seems to be the most fair, but in fact it is the most unfair and has many disadvantages. The poor are the hardest hit, while the rich are basically unaffected, and will not be discussed here.

The proportional tax will be better, and it looks fair, but it is not. In fact, for example, a poor peasant with an annual income of three kronor can only barely support his family. The tithe is a terrible death. Ten gold kronor, tithe will also make him uncomfortable, but for a little noble with an annual income of 300 kronor, the 30 kronor tax may not be a big deal.

For the tax of 30 kronor alone, the tax officer can actually collect 15 kronor, which is good, because the housekeeper of the little nobility will help to do the accounting, and the little nobility has many ways to avoid the collection.

The last is the excessive progressive tax, which is very similar to the previous dynasty of Lane, that is, the poor do not pay taxes, the middle class pays less taxes, and the rich pay more taxes. This kind of tax is actually unfair, but most people think This is the fairest.

However, the rich will not be willing to be slaughtered. Their methods are many. For example, a Li Chaoren in the previous life of Ryan has transformed into a British Li Jueye, and his nationality has become a Maple Leaf country. Give yourself an annual salary that is farther from the threshold than everyone else.

Even more ruthless is that France once imposed a 75% rich tax on rich people with an annual salary of more than 1 million euros. Is this tax heavy enough? This tax just came out and won the support of 80% of the people. Many people were happily drinking and celebrating. However, in the first year of the levy, prices soared by nearly 25%. The victims suffered the most, but the poor. The outflow has had a devastating effect on the economy of the entire country, and in the end it was the poor and the middle class who paid for it.

Speaking further, Ryan explained a few of these issues a little, and Alfred and Carrard had been sweating all over the body. Ryan finally concluded: "Fairness and justice cannot reach agreement on this issue ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ Furthermore, just like Afu you said, citizens ’financial sacred freedom is protected by imperial laws, and while merchants donate a lot of money to the church and request notarization, the church will also take on the responsibility of protecting merchants. Is it impossible to forcibly confiscate their property? "

Alfred said helplessly and madly: "Is there no way for all nobles and businessmen to pay taxes properly?"

"Yes." Lane still had a smile on his face. He glanced down at the holy knightly badge on his chest, and then at Calade's, saying playfully: "At least there is a kind in Brittany. Tax, the knights and nobles not only pay it, but they dare not evade taxes, avoid taxes and play tricks. Everyone honestly pays enough and often pays more, and this is how Brittania has stood for thousands of years. Despite many problems and darkness, it still stands at the core. "

Carrard already understood that Count Gallant nodded again and again: "Yes, no one dared not to pay this tax."

"That's what tax, there is such a magical power?" Alfred asked curiously.
