Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1953: Elizabeth arrives at Don

In the summer of the 38th year of Xuanping, the Ministry of Taxation issued a number of individual income tax rules in a very low-key manner, and included many labor and non-labor income into the scope of individual income tax collection.

But only first aimed at the financial industry!

For the first time, it is clarified that investment income such as interest, dividends and bonuses are subject to personal income tax.

What's more, these personal income taxes are paid directly by securities companies or direct companies. When you buy or sell stocks in securities companies, the taxes are already paid directly.

No room for tax evasion at all!

Otherwise, it is almost impossible to collect these personal income taxes directly from the personal account.

Datang Taxation Department is more dependent on enterprises and the banking system for tax collection. It is rarely said that individuals have automatically declared or checked their personal income for taxation.

It's not that it can't be done, but the tax costs are too high.

After all, there are no computers these days, and all data processing has to rely on manual labor. The tax department, even small traders and small workshops, mostly turn a blind eye. The cost of material resources is too large to pay.

Datang's taxation system has been undergoing continuous and in-depth reform, and this time the personal income tax reform is the same.

However, this small reform has little impact on the entire social system, and most individuals cannot even feel it.

After all, a tax is only for the high-income class of the society, and even the middle-income class is not included in the scope of collection.

The scope of this levy is small and the number of people is small, so naturally it will not have much impact.

Just when Datang people were working on labor protection laws and tax reforms, the Hong Kong naval base rarely welcomed a 10,000-ton luxury passenger ship.

This luxury passenger ship is under the Pacific Shipping Company, and it is already the new Atlantic that has been contracted by the Palace Affairs Office.

After the New Atlantic carried Elizabeth and the others from Europe, it passed through South Africa, then arrived in Ceylon, and finally crossed the Indian Ocean and entered the Strait of Malacca. After replenishing the port of Malacca, the New Atlantic officially entered the South China Sea and then crossed the waters of the South China Sea. South China Sea all the way north to the Hong Kong Naval Base.

Although the New Atlantic is a civilian ship, because the people it carries are quite special, the ports it moored along the way are actually military ports, and it is not said that it is moored in the civilian wharfs of ordinary ports.

It's still the same after returning home!

When the New Atlantic was guided by several steam tugboats, it slowly entered Hong Kong Bay and then moored at the pier.

Elizabeth, who was standing on the first-class deck, was stunned at the countless huge warships in the harbor!

It's not that she has not seen the battleships of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, when she was in the European waters, she had already seen many battleships of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also cruisers of several thousand tons.

When she arrived in South Africa, Ceylon and even Malacca, she saw many Tang warships.

She has seen a lot of frigates with more than one thousand tons, and she has seen a lot of cruisers with two or three thousand tons.

Even when she was in the port of Malacca, she saw an armored cruiser of more than 7,000 tons.

However, the Datang battleships that I have seen before are very different from the battleships seen in the Hong Kong naval base today!

"My God!"

"what is that?"

"How can there be such a huge warship!"

Rao was already prepared enough for Elizabeth, but when she saw the battleship Ceylon, she still couldn't believe her eyes.

It's not that she hasn't seen a 10,000-ton ship. The New Atlantic she is currently on is a standard 10,000-ton luxury passenger ship.

Along the way, she also saw two other 10,000-ton ships, one was a huge, tens of thousands of tons of freighters, and the other was an oil tanker.

These 10,000-ton ships are already huge enough, but even civilian ships and warships of the same tonnage give people a completely different visual impact.

What's more, the tonnage of the battleship Ceylon was even larger than these 10,000-ton civilian ships.

As the largest and most advanced battleship in Datang at present, the battleship Ceylon started construction at the Hong Kong Dingsheng Shipyard in the 35th year of Xuanping. This year, the hull construction was just completed. Several small sea trials, debugging, etc. are needed.

Complete construction and delivery to the Navy are not expected until next year.

This battleship with a standard displacement of 13,000 tons and an estimated full-load displacement of more than 14,000 tons has a ferocious aura almost everywhere.

The front and rear are double mounted, with a total of four main guns of 300 mm and 35 times, enough to attract anyone's attention.

Coupled with more than ten 150mm rear-mounted guns and a larger number of small and medium-caliber rapid-firing guns, the Ceylon has turned itself into a complete war monster.

Such a battleship, with full firepower, is enough to destroy a port city alone!

Well, this is still talking about the city of Datang's own people.

As for the small port towns of the Europeans, there is no need for such a giant as the battleship Ceylon.

Elizabeth could hardly believe her eyes when she saw the battleship Ceylon moored in the distance, still outfitting.

What surprised her was not only the Ceylon, but also the many warships that covered almost the entire harbor!

The Hong Kong Naval Base, as one of the most important naval bases of the Tang Empire Navy and the most important warship overhaul and maintenance base, has a large number of warships parked all year round.

At this moment in the naval base, there are at least two battleships, three armored cruisers, more than ten cruisers, and more than thirty frigates.

And this is only the ocean-going capital ship, there are more offshore patrol ships and various auxiliary warships.

There are at least one hundred warships of various types in the entire naval base.

Although quite a few of them are under maintenance or waiting for maintenance, they are honestly moored at the dock, but such a scene makes anyone tremble.

No wonder some people say that only when you have been to the mainland of Datang will you truly know how powerful the Tang is.

This kind of power is definitely not something that can be seen in places such as Ceuta in Europe or even the port of South Africa.

Elizabeth was surprised, not to mention her entourage, almost everyone of the members of the knights she brought, couldn't believe what they saw was real.

And the reactions of these people are also seen by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Many people are thinking that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is just to show them a naval base, and they are surprised by this.

When you arrive in Shanghai, you will not be scared to death when you see the boats flowing day and night on the Huangpu River, the prosperous riverside area that stretches for dozens of kilometers, and countless high-rise buildings!

The New Atlantic did not stay at the Hong Kong Naval Base for too long, but after a simple supplement, it set off for Shanghai.

Along the way, even on the sea, most of the Spaniards on board could feel that Datang's maritime industry was developed, because there were too many ships on the coastal route.

And this feeling is even more so when they reach the mouth of the Yangtze River and even enter the Huangpu River.

Because at this time, when they looked around, almost the entire river was filled with ships.
