Douluo's fancy development blue silver grass

On the Douluo Continent, countless legends and myths flowed in the long river of history. The special martial soul endowed human beings with extraordinary power and talent, creating a unique system structure.

Here, force and pioneering are the mainstream of the society, and geniuses and mutant martial spirits emerging from the common people have broken the monopoly of the nobles and become new lords one after another.

The lords are the cornerstone of the empire. They lead their subordinates to open up new territories on the vast continent, compete with ferocious spirit beasts for land and resources, produce food and pay taxes, and provide continuous support for the center of the empire.

The center of the empire relies on these resources to support the royal family and the army, maintaining rule and order.

This is a very stable and firm model. Commoners can only rely on "mutation" to complete the transition of identity in a random to extreme way, while nobles maintain their own advantages through strict blood inheritance.

But the good news is that there are constantly "wrong mutations" by noble children, which bring new martial soul blood into the poor lottery pool, providing more opportunities for commoners.

But since Mu Zhe completely eradicated this stable and firm rule in the Unification War, problems have followed.

He single-handedly overwhelmed all the lords and royal families and established a brand new regime.He announced the abolition of the aristocratic system and the implementation of equality of martial arts, so that everyone has the opportunity to become strong.

But the disappearance of the old model will inevitably require a new model to replace it. The Xingluo Empire managed by Mu Zhe with 01 intelligence can collect various data through ubiquitous bracelets, and complete the normal operation of the local Wuhundian and other systems. .

But when it came to Qian Renxue's side, there were problems one after another.

Qian Renxue is very careful about her own abilities. She has been undercover for many years and has been under the influence of Emperor Xue Ye. She thinks that she has figured out the court struggle and national governance, but it is personnel power, ruling power, financial and taxation power, and military power.

But now, there is no difference between having or not having personnel rights. The previous leadership team was all eliminated by Mu Zhe, and Wuhundian's own talent pool has no talent training in this area, so it's all left to 01?Qian Renxue was totally unwilling.

01's intelligence is cold and has no temperature, and if it is all thrown to 01 Wuhundian and himself, what is it?She prefers to run affairs with people she knows and trusts.

Judging power is a joy to use, but Qian Renxue is hit hard by the continuous unexpected feedback from all over the country. She said to implement plan 1, and after two weeks, she will receive a bunch of implementations 3~4~5 in the local area, causing all kinds of problems. Reporting of adverse outcomes.

It turned out that the old bureaucrats misunderstood the administrative orders or the adverse consequences of over-enforced implementation, which belonged to the silent resistance of the civil service to the ruler's reform.This made Qian Renxue murderous, but also suffered from the fact that there was no alternative.

This made Qian Renxue feel that it was not as good as "the law of the ancestors is immutable".

The most important and most difficult thing to deal with is the right to finance and taxation. The disappearance of the noble lords has completely ruined the system that was able to run so-so, and the taxation system needs to be rebuilt.

Nowadays, the taxation forms of the empire are mainly commercial tax, agricultural tax, and value-added tax of various service industries.But this requires a large number of civil servants and grassroots personnel to ensure the operation of the system, so now Qian Renxue is having a headache watching the treasury savings drop day by day.

After those lords disappeared, the serfs got the land, but you can’t cultivate it if you only have the land and no farm tools. Those with quick hands and strong strength can take advantage of the chaotic period to snatch the farm tools of some big landlords. Those with slow hands can only rely on themselves. up.

These problems are only elementary problems. After all, the agricultural tax will not be seen until the autumn harvest, and other problems are even more serious.

Those master knights who managed to escape their lives on the battlefield returned home and found that the fief granted to him by the lord was gone, and his small courtyard was also divided. Inspection arrest trial.

They were locked in cells, awaiting the Queen's verdict.Some people regretted that they didn't protect themselves wisely back then, and some people cursed Qian Renxue bitterly.

As for the other master knights, it is absolutely impossible for them to be hunters of soul beasts and bodyguards to protect merchants. Except for knights who have no strength, those who respect order can earn a little money to live in the soul fighting field .

Wearing worn-out armor, they compete with other spirit masters in the spirit fighting arena, desperately fighting for a meager bonus.

Listening to the cheers and howls of the audience outside the fighting spirit arena, their hearts were filled with humiliation and unwillingness. This should be their seat, and they missed those glorious and prosperous days in the past.

Those who plan to make quick money just squatted on the trade roads to collect "taxes" just like when the lord was still there. After all, that's what they did when they became knights and were short of money.

They disguised themselves as robbers or bandits, intercepted merchants on the commercial road, and forcibly demanded part of the goods or money.

They feel there is nothing wrong with doing it, they feel they deserve it.That's the problem.

When the lord was there before, he only came once in a territory. When the lord disappeared, he would be charged "taxes" several times for as many knights as he wanted to "earn extra money". The merchants could only be insensitive to this risk.

They would rather pile up their goods in warehouses than risk being robbed to transport them.

Now the commercial tax is finished.

What to do with the small part, we can only work hard on various service taxes in the only promising city, as for 01?Qian Renxue had 12 points of distrust for this Mu Zhe who suddenly appeared and convinced everyone in the Wuhun Hall.

She would rather trust her own vision and judgment than a machine without emotion and understanding.

Let a soul guide who doesn't know where to control the taxation system?What is the difference between handing over your own lifeline to others?
Therefore, Qian Renxue continuously issued various laws and regulations related to the city. The core purpose was to standardize business operations and make it easier to clarify profits and collect taxes.

The system that was working well suddenly asks you to make changes, and there are a lot of forms and other things that need to be declared and filled out. This makes those in the city who sit on the ground complaining, but it is not without benefit.

Relying on their own intelligence network and their ability to deceive and deceive, people like Maeve, the "dwarf", these social idlers and "vigorous social groups" have made a lot of money in this chaotic period.

They use their relationships and means to help some merchants and small vendors evade taxes, or provide some false or exaggerated data, thereby reducing their tax burden.

They also used their intelligence network to figure out the declaration routines and started agency business.

And those are worse than deceiving innocent people who have neither the vision nor the knowledge to adapt to the "new government".

The current Qian Renxue works diligently in government, but how much money has been confiscated, and the staff of the Wuhun Hall below are complaining. Even if many new staff are recruited, they still cannot fully meet the needs of the civilians who come to work.

They have to face a lot of complicated and tedious work every day, deal with a lot of unreasonable and unfounded complaints, and deal with a lot of difficult customers.They feel that they are wasting time and energy, doing useless work, and suffering.

Qian Renxue was sitting in her office in Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire, looking at the mountains of documents and reports on the table, feeling helpless and troubled in her heart.

The strands of blond hair falling off the bedside every morning made her feel that she couldn't adapt to this new pattern at all, and she felt that the distance between herself and the situation she imagined was getting farther and farther away.

She felt that she needed to find a more efficient and fair financial income channel, so she found her former teacher, Ning Fengzhi.

In the reception room of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi was not surprised by Qian Renxue's arrival, after all, as one of the best businessmen on the Douluo Continent, he knew very well what happened in the empire recently.

He looked at the woman in imperial robes with a cold and arrogant demeanor, but faintly revealing anxiety and helplessness, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.He still remembers how clever and clever she was, how brave and decisive she was back then.

Now she is the queen of an empire, but she is facing an unprecedented predicament.

Your Majesty, what is the purpose of coming here this time? "Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile, but there was a trace of worry and worry in his eyes.

"Sect Master Ning, master!" Qian Renxue called out softly, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.She was in awe and affection for him, grateful and guilty.

"You know the current situation, right? The empire looks like a flourishing flower, but in fact it is already in jeopardy."

"I can't tell." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, pretending to be relaxed.

"The serfs in the countryside who got the land and the people who got rid of the landlords and tax collectors are all praising your greatness. Doesn't the prosperous scene in the city or the lively scene in the market show that your governance is successful?"

"Master, don't make fun of me." Qian Renxue said with a wry smile.

"Now that there is less tax and food paid by those local lords, the operation of the entire empire depends on the previous savings and the help of the Wuhun Temple. After all, this is not a long-term solution."

"Why don't you try the method of using Mu Zhe, the small reincarnation palace that manages the Star Luo Empire?" Ning Fengzhi intentionally mentioned the name that Qian Renxue didn't want to hear the most.

"Teacher, don't bring this up again!" Qian Renxue immediately became nervous and excited.

She has both admiration and fear for Mu Zhe, and his mighty figure on the battlefield is still deeply imprinted in her heart. ,

"You know that I don't have any confidence or affection for that soul tool. Let a machine from who knows where to control my country? How can I rest assured?" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and said

Seeing Qian Renxue's excited look, Ning Fengzhi secretly sighed in his heart.He knew that she had a deep grudge and guard against Mu Zhe and everything related to him.

"In this case, there is only another way, my lord." Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, a trace of helplessness and worry flashed in his eyes.

"What way?" Qian Renxue asked vigilantly, feeling the seriousness of Ning Fengzhi's words.

"An extreme and dangerous road." Ning Fengzhi continued.

"First, you need to completely control all the banks in the Heaven Dou Empire, and then take back the currency issuance rights of the Spirit Hall. This step is relatively easy."

"Why do you do this?" Qian Renxue asked in bewilderment.

"Because you need a strong and stable currency system to support your fiscal revenue and expenditure." Ning Fengzhi explained.

"Now the currency of the Heaven Dou Empire is issued and managed by various banks and Wuhundian, and Wuhundian is ultimately controlled by Mu Zhe. If you want to get rid of the influence of Mu Zhe and 01, you must first cut off Their control over the lifeblood of your country's economy."

"After that? Qian Renxue asked hesitantly.

"After that, you need to issue new currency yourself and force everyone to use it." Ning Fengzhi said.

"You can name the new currency 'Angel' or 'Ice Coin' or whatever you like. You can link the new currency to precious metals such as gold and silver to ensure its value is stable. You can design the new currency to be beautiful Generous to entice people to use."

"Sounds good." Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with interest.

"However, this will also cause many problems." Ning Fengzhi warned.

"For example, some banks in your country may be unwilling to give up their original interests and refuse to cooperate with your currency reform."

"Those transnational trading partners may not be used to your new currency and ask you to use the original Wuhun currency for settlement. These require you to have sufficient authority and means to resolve."

"That's not a problem," Qian Renxue said, puffing out her chest.

"I am the empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, and I have the power and ability to realize my wishes."

"Then, you need to do the second step." Ning Fengzhi said.

"The second step is to set up a tax agency composed of elite soul masters in each large city. Citizens and merchants need to take the initiative to go to the tax agency to declare their taxes."

"Those who violate the regulations and underreport or omit to report need to be punished heavily, and those who refuse to pay taxes will have the soul masters of the taxation authorities come forward to 'reasonable' them."

"Sounds cruel." Qian Renxue frowned.

"This is necessary." Ning Fengzhi said.

"If you want to increase your fiscal revenue, you must strengthen your tax management and supervision. You can no longer allow some local officials or greedy businessmen to evade or reduce taxes at will."

"You have to let everyone know that paying taxes is their duty and their responsibility, not their choice and their right."

"You have to make everyone feel that if they don't pay their taxes on time and in their amounts, you will be severely punished and sanctioned by you."

"Will this cause resentment and resistance from the people?" Qian Renxue asked worriedly, after all, she was still very kind in her heart.

"It's inevitable." Ning Fengzhi said.

"However, there are things you can do to mitigate that. For example, you can have some reasonable and fair tax rates and tax regimes that are affordable for people across income levels and industries."

"Set up some preferential policies for tax exemption or tax reduction, and encourage some behaviors and activities that are beneficial to social and economic development. Charity and education are both worthy of encouragement."

"There is also a part of the tax revenue that can be used to improve people's livelihood and public services, repair bridges and roads, renovate slums, build canals, etc., so that people can see that you have done some good things with tax revenue."

"Sounds reasonable." Qian Renxue nodded, which made the resistance in her heart a lot less.

"This is not as easy as it sounds, my lord." Ning Fengzhi said.

"For example, you need to recruit and train a group of capable, qualified and loyal soul masters to form a tax agency, and give them adequate treatment and protection."

"It is also necessary to establish and improve an effective and secure tax information system, and prevent it from being tampered with or leaked."

"The last and most important thing is that you need to deal with some possible boycotts or violent incidents, and maintain your legal authority and social order."

"I can do it." Qian Renxue said confidently, this is not a very difficult thing for herself.

"Then, you need to do the third step." Ning Fengzhi said.

"The third step is to collect stamp duty, value-added tax and other taxes on all large-value transactions."

"Of course, according to the news from the Star Luo Empire, workshops and small workshops will account for an increasing proportion of the economy in the future. Your Majesty can also consider taxing the income of these craftsmen."

"Sounds complicated." Qian Renxue frowned, and a trace of doubt and anxiety flashed in her eyes.She didn't quite understand why Ning Fengzhi proposed such an unrealistic plan.

"This is necessary." Ning Fengzhi said.

"If you want to take full advantage of your country's economic potential, you have to tax transactions and activities reasonably and effectively. You can no longer just tax some simple and obvious sources of income like you used to."

"You have to let everyone know that no matter what kind of business or production they are engaged in, they have to pay the corresponding tax according to the regulations. If they want to enjoy the country's market and resources, they have to pay the corresponding price for it."

"However, this will also bring a lot of difficulties." Ning Fengzhi said, a trace of worry and concern flashed in his eyes.

"The empire needs to establish and improve a broad and precise tax registration and accounting system, and prevent it from being evaded or abused. Formulate and implement a set of strict and fair tax regulations and supervision mechanisms, and prevent it from being violated or abused."

"It all seems to work, sir"

After hearing this, Qian Renxue was quite moved, and a trace of determination and confidence flashed in her eyes.Doing so can free oneself from dependence and restraint on external forces, and allow oneself to truly control the finance and economy of one's own country.

The confident Qian Renxue feels that she has enough wisdom and ability to achieve this goal.

"But these are not simple things that can be established overnight as you imagine. There are still a lot of problems to be solved, such as talent development, legal improvement, and social adaptation."

Ning Fengzhi originally wanted Qian Renxue to quit, but if the other answers were not feasible, then the only answer left was to choose Mu Zhe's system.

But it's a pity that this disciple of himself is completely unaware of the hardships ahead, and resolutely chose this path full of thorns, is he self-defeating? (end of this chapter)
