In addition to the loose legal system, St. Lomalen also has a very distinctive fiscal and taxation system, which is also caused by historical reasons.

During the Free War, the Federalists were led by the eight major consortiums to fight the lofty holy land for a long time. During this period, the eight major consortiums each had their own territory and army, and were closely surrounded by threats from the common enemy of the sanctuary. At that time, the important leaders of the eight major consortiums led the army to fight on the front line for a long time, and the rear had to hire a large number of professional managers to manage. Later, in order to integrate resources, the eight major consortiums merged these professional managers to form the federal government.

At that time, the gap between the rich and the poor of the federal people was particularly large. Ordinary civilians followed the eight major consortiums to fight against the sacred realm when they could not guarantee their survival. However, the eight major consortiums used to be tools for the sacred realm to rule the people, but they had huge wealth. The army had to spend money and build the infrastructure, but the people did not charge much tax, so they could only have one way. The eight major consortiums paid money and supplies, and the people worked hard to carry out construction. Federal government personnel were hired by the eight major consortiums and were all senior management personnel, so they had to pay a lot of salary!

After the eight major consortiums won the war, after years of restoration and construction, the people had enough money. The consortium proposed to reselect the government, formulate a tax system, and uniformly impose taxes to support these professional managers. However, the consortiums became uncoordinated after the victory. In order to compete for the power to formulate tax policies, they fought each other. In the end, the people benefited. When the eight major consortiums selected personnel to pull votes to make a promise, they proposed that the consortium first advance government expenses, and wait until the promises of federal government officials were fulfilled before paying taxes.

At this time, an interesting fiscal and taxation system appeared. The federal government was supported by eight major consortiums in the past. Although the people's livelihood expenditure increased after the federal normalization, it did not provide much for this year. Moreover, most civilians at that time were directly or indirectly serving the consortium. After several parties were running-in, the consortium agreed to advance the fiscal expenditure, but the tax ratio was determined. The eight major consortiums were responsible for half of the government expenditure, and the private tax was responsible for the other half. People in the consortium were not afraid that the people would not pay taxes, so they deducted the money.

To this day, the common people of the federal government have become accustomed to paying the first year of taxes to the federal government only in the second year. Once the local officials’ promises during the campaign are not fulfilled, after the intelligent confirmation of the intelligent control of the intelligent brain, the common people can refuse to pay!

Now the newly elected federal officials are very interesting. They receive less than half a share of their salary every month. All the money collected by the consortium must be used for budgeted government expenses. At the end of the year, they run around and point to their political achievements to the people: "Look, this is what we did! We fulfilled our promise, can we pay the tax?"

When most people agree, the Intelligent Brain main control intelligence confirms that the promise has been fulfilled. It doesn’t matter if the remaining people don’t recognize it. It’s all electronic currency. The Intelligent Brain will automatically deduct the credit points of the person’s private account. If the person’s account is not enough, check the family members, immediate relatives, etc. If the family is extremely poor, such people are tax-free, and the Intelligent Brain will not deduct money at all!

Therefore, today's federal officials receive annual salaries. Due to historical reasons, senior managers' salaries are already very high, which also makes today's federal officials' annual salaries very high. Think about it, half of the total federal fiscal revenue - although it cannot be fully charged, at least 40% of the total fiscal revenue is given to public officials as salary. Can it not be high?

It is not easy for public officials to get the full amount of money. The government does not have office-use transportation boats. If they can’t even afford to buy a transportation boat, why do they come to compete for public officials? They go to the consortium to work first for a few years! If they want to run an office project, they will pay for energy and fuel. The sales staff of the consortium will not reimburse the fuel expenses! They pay for meals and entertainment customers themselves. There is no "three public" expenses at all. In the end, they will not do well at the end of the year. Once they are not taxed, they will definitely lose money!

It is hard to reconcile. As a public official in the federal government of St. Lomalen, this bowl of rice is not that delicious!

Zhang Ziqiang rode the Qianhuanhu along the road and looked around, looking at the people watching the lively from afar, listening to Bazaveswen's introduction and Feld's constant complaints, he suddenly felt that this trip was not false, and this tax system is worth studying!

After the show was completed according to the federal arrangements, although the common people in the federal government were like looking at strange animals - it was very rude, but Zhang Ziqiang didn't care about these things. He had no other arrangements in the afternoon, so he called Helina to ask about the federal management framework: "Helina, the federal tax system is such a fixed law. How to protect the military, education, major infrastructure and other expenses every year? If there is a disaster, where will federal officials find money to rescue the disaster?"

Helina didn't expect that Zhang Ziqiang would be interested in these things. It was difficult for her to find opportunities these days. At this time, the only two of them were in the room. Seeing Zhang Ziqiang sitting on the big sofa next to her, she deliberately took a few steps closer and bowed slightly and replied: "In fact, the main federal officials are not as difficult as they said. They are senior management personnel in a relatively stable circle. Although fresh blood will join in every election, most people are still people in the original circle. No matter when taxes are collected, there will always be funds short of funds..."

Although Helina bent slightly, Zhang Ziqiang needed to look up and talk to her. He felt a little depressed and said casually: "Sit down and talk."

After hearing the order, Helina sat down next to Zhang Ziqiang's sofa, and said while sitting: "The federal officials are all group behaviors when they are running for elections. The specific governance is based on continents, which is equivalent to a group of professional managers contracting the management rights of the entire continent to the consortium and civilians. Their expectations for the governance of the continent must be recognized by these two parties before they can be selected. The taxes collected will be transferred to the provinces and the federal government in proportion. Major infrastructure is the responsibility of each province, and the federal government is responsible for the army."

"The expenses such as education, security fleets, judicial and other expenses were digested proportionally by management at all levels. Because of the large number of biochemical personnel, the proportion of this part of public officials is not large. Scientific research is organized by various enterprises and groups themselves. Only certain scientific research projects with huge investments are completed by the eight major consortiums. As for disasters, it is the burden of insurance companies under the eight major consortiums."

"But federal officials are also very hard-working, especially grassroots officials on various planets. Every year, many expenses are outside the budget, and they have to work hard to go to various enterprises. For example, municipal engineering, etc., these are all from grassroots officials, which are usually combined with advertising. Well... In short, federal officials from various continents are equivalent to a huge management team, which only does practical things and usually does not involve power disputes. In the entire federal government, the easiest unit is probably the General Administration of Management where I used to be."

Zhang Ziqiang understood that the federal government was composed of a large group of professional managers who could "recruit sponsorship, shout slogans, and do practical things". In the final analysis, they were just a group of senior workers! But a country would never be as simple as a company. There would always be a struggle for interests and power. Only by achieving dynamic balance can all parties be positive and proactive.

Helina's explanation for this is: "In the age of the gods, the entire federation was ruled by eight major consortiums. They were responsible for the sanctuary. From a certain perspective, the federation was theirs, and the eight major consortiums were the real leaders of the federation. To this day, the sanctuary and the eight major consortiums also had conflicts of interest between each other, and even the sanctuary and the consortium were in conflict with each other. The federal government was free from it and used various contradictions to obtain some benefits for ordinary civilians."

"The people in power in the Sanctuary and the members of the consortium are not unchanged. For example, the Villidaville Consortium consists of more than 4,000 members. Because of this time, Gesorman became the chairman of the consortium and expelled more than 300 member economies. The groups and enterprises that were expelled from the consortium have lost many conveniences, and of course, they do not need to bear as much responsibility as before. However, they have been demoted from managers to managed people, and they have lost much more than what they have gained, and they are also facing the situation of being scrapped."

Zhang Ziqiang asked again: "The cost of maintaining the fleet is so high. This time the Federation is fighting with the Liantai Empire again. Can the federal government afford such huge war expenses?"

"Of course it's impossible!" Helina smiled and said, "You can regard it as a war investment. Whoever invests more will benefit greatly after the war is victorious. The Sanctuary and eight major consortiums have participated, and even issued bonds by the private sector. It took more than 20 years for the whole country to launch this war. The federal government alone cannot even maintain public order, otherwise there would be so many pirates in the federal territory."

When Zhang Ziqiang heard this, he shook his head: "This is not good. Once war breaks out suddenly, the whole federation will be in chaos."

"If the current system is maintained, it is difficult for the Federation to have war. The forces of the eight major consortiums are intertwined, and you are in me, and I am in me. If there are conflicts between the consortiums, it is usually the two sides negotiate and compromise. If there are two consortiums that have to go to war, the Holy Land and other consortiums will not sit idly by. The Federation has the third spiral arm, and the Wuji Empire looks down on us, even if the Lotus Empire has friction with us, it is mostly caused by export trade. The scale will not be too large, and the private army of the consortium can cope with it."

Zhang Ziqiang's interest became increasingly weak. Saint Lomalen had almost no foreign enemies. His political system was extremely liberal and not much comparable to the areas he ruled. He was interested in the cultivation system and asked again: "Since the number of federal troops is not large, why should the whole nation practice? What can they do when they practice the "Nine Profound Body Firm Art"?"
