Chapter 136 People's expectations are too high

The military families at Hulukou and the county leaders did not expect to come to celebrate the joy and received free treatment from the senior college. The merchants and workshop owners were even more affordable, and they were exempted for one year!

Although the leaders did not know how many gold coins it would take to run a higher college, in their eyes, the expenses required for this college were astronomical. Now the agricultural tax was exempted and the commercial tax was exempted for one year. This means that the Lord of the Lord had not received a copper coin tax for one year, but the taxes of the Kingdom always had to be paid. Now the people were granted 750,000 yuan, which required the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Kingdom to pay more than two million gold coins.

Now the leaders were a little uneasy. In their eyes, it was a bit like a relationship that was originally a human relationship. If you have a happy event, I would just go to say goodbye, but you still went empty-handed, but you gave me a gift of 1,000 or even 10,000 yuan. How can you feel at ease?

Zhang Ziqiang's move is indeed a huge sum of money. The college's tuition is not as good as it is. There are still many stores around the school and other ways to make money, because Glasgow now also holds 10% of the college's shares. Zhang Ziqiang only needs to adjust the share ratio to make Glasgow account for 30%, and Glasgow's interests will not be damaged.

The main is the commercial tax. Now, the scale of commercial scale in Rositing County is the highest in the Kingdom of Al except the capital. There are only 750,000 people in charge of agricultural planting, development and breeding. The rest are all employees of factory workshops, shops, etc. In terms of commercial activity, Rositing County is well-deserved first, and the circulation speed of gold coins in the county is twice as fast as that of the capital.

The commercial tax transaction tax in other counties of the Kingdom is 10%, while Rossiding County only charges 7%. However, in this way, while many new merchants are in the tax exemption period, the monthly tax in the county can reach more than 900,000 gold coins, which is more than 10 million a year. It is expected that after the tax exemption period, Rosiding County will have a monthly tax of 2 million with its current commercial level.

What does this mean? The kingdom has more than 60 counties, and the tax revenue is only more than 200 million yuan per year. In just three years, he managed Rositing County with a theoretical tax revenue of 24 million yuan per year, accounting for one tenth of the kingdom. His population is one county to three counties, and one county to six counties. This is still the case where the exemption of agricultural tax and commercial tax is lower than that of other counties.

Zhang Ziqiang's words made him lose more than 10 million yuan. After paying such a large sum of money to celebrate the family's existence, even Carus did not have such a big deal.

However, he also had his ideas. Rossiding County had just entered a stage of rapid development. Even if such a large amount of tax was collected, he was ready to spend it in his corps. Now he was just hiding wealth for the people. With money in his hands, the consumption would be more active. As long as prices were controlled, the tertiary industry would develop greatly in the next step.

His family is not short of money. In the past three years, the civilians returned the purchase money on time and sold the real estate in the southern half of the county town. They earned nearly 60 million gold coins in total, and he was very busy. Now there are still 50 million gold coins piled up at home and can't spend them!

It was previously estimated that it would cost a lot to place more than 30,000 retired soldiers, but after actual operation, the resettlement of 30,000 soldiers not only did not cost money, but instead, due to the rise in land prices and proper development, he also made money with the nobles. Although he paid for the construction of Hulukou New City, he only invested the money he earned in resettlement and the income from the liquor house and could not use it.

It costs a lot for people to raise private troops and cultivate high-end forces, but his crystals do not need to spend money to buy them, they only need to buy some elixirs, and the expenses are completely disproportionate to their income. Now the sales of spirits have increased significantly, and Hulukou New City has also been built, and there are no other large expenses. The income from selling alcohol alone can arm his 4,000 private troops to their teeth.

His family's daily expenses and the expenses of officials in the corps are still unable to spend all the profits he earned from selling the spirit-absorbing module. Moreover, the taxes in Kuras City also have a significant monthly savings, and his family's 50 million gold coins are actually spent more and more!

In terms of profitability, the Aidra family and the Stanlo family combined are not as good as his family. Even the Hudal family is much worse than him. Their gross income may be higher than his, but they cannot withstand the expenses.

Zhang Ziqiang's family is better than the five major dukes in terms of high-end force, quality and profitability, but they are just a little short of time and a little short of foundation!

...Zhang Ziqiang packed up the excitement brought by the people all the way, returned to the mansion, laughed loudly, and attracted the whole family and arranged for him: "Amilia, go to your elder brother's house in person and report to him! Please invite him to have a wedding banquet at home in seven days later!"

"Kelly, go and invite your grandmother, your aunt and uncle, Allabel, Doverth and others!"

"Xiaomei, go and invite Benson and other nobles and officials in the jurisdiction!"

"Xiao Cui, you are responsible for arranging the family's relocation. In seven days, I will hold a big banquet in Hulukou New City to celebrate!"

"Lanelli, Bentelan, the formation gun is now ready to be completed. After the seven-day banquet, the 4,000 private troops at the Hulukou will be handed over to you two. Hulukou will quickly train and study some new tactics. If there is any problem with the formation gun, report it to me in time!"

"Feizi, you will follow me in the future. The sixty iron guards are responsible for my and my family's safety!"

"Huh? Where is Xiaolan?"

Amilia replied: "There were too many people outside just now. Maybe she was a little scared and looked bad. I asked her to have supper early and go back to her room to rest."

"Oh? I'll go and have a look."

Zhang Ziqiang hurried to Xiaolan's room. Seeing that Xiaolan seemed to be asleep, he stopped waking her up. He went downstairs to talk to her family. After dinner, he was tired all day today and took a break early.

...The leader of Rositing County, Qi, thanked Zhang Ziqiang, for his affairs, and was reported to the palace that night. Carus was full of thoughts with secret reports.

Carus knew the amount of taxes in the kingdom's counties, even the fiefs of the five major dukes, and Rossiding County was no exception. Looking at the total taxes and future estimates of Rosiding County and Kuras City, he was puzzled.

Logically speaking, the tax revenue of the kingdom is not low. On average, each civilian collects tax of ten gold coins per year, while the average annual total income of the common people has not reached fifty gold coins per year, which is one-fifth of the charge. Commercial tax is collected at 10% of the transaction volume. The kingdom still relies on the rule of aristocrats. Large merchants are basically nobles, and lower commercial tax revenue is also to strengthen the basis of ruling.

Compared with the mainland countries, this kind of taxation cannot be said to be the highest, but it will never be the lowest. However, Zhang Ziqiang, the kid, has exempted all agricultural taxes, and even commercial taxes are only 7%. But the total amount is so high. Why are merchants willing to run into other counties?

Carus began to think that it was caused by lowering the tax rate. For the sake of experiments, he adjusted the commercial taxes in several counties around Rositing County to 7%, but did not attract many merchants. As a result, the tax revenue not only did not increase, but also decreased. What exactly did Rositing attract these merchants?

It is not right to say that it is a population problem. The population of the four cities is more than that of Rositing County City. Why is the tax revenue of the four cities far less than that of his county town?

Taxation is just some gold coins, which is second. Zhang Ziqiang, a kid, never went out on weekdays, and rarely interfered in government affairs. He left it all to Bill and Benson and others to take care of it. Bill was old, Benson had no ability before. These two local nobles of Rositin had no status in the kingdom and had no talent.

Zhang Ziqiang's own people only arranged three, one Georgia, but only a viscount, and one Lolan, who is introverted and muscular, doesn't talk much, doesn't interfere in political affairs, and there is also a little girl, Karin, who is just a fool, but Zhang Ziqiang is idle all day long and sends a few people to make trouble. Why is he so loved by the people? Then I am so busy every day, aren't I just busy around?

What is even more strange is that the conflicts between nobles and civilians in other counties of the kingdom always occur one after another. If the common people get benefits, they will harm the interests of the nobles. Some good policies will change when implemented. If the nobles get benefits, the conflicts between the common people will intensify, and the implementation of policies is also very difficult. If you are not careful, it may even cause chaos in the people.

The nobles of Rosyding County paid for building houses for civilians, and had a harmonious relationship with them. The common people respected the nobles and loved the lords. Zhang Ziqiang received high taxes from the territory. The nobles also made enough money because of their prosperous business. The civilian lives much better than other counties. Why do they seem to benefit everyone? Who suffered the loss?

The nobles of Rositing made a fortune in silence, and the profits they made were false and real. Some outsiders knew that some of the profits were difficult for people in the bureau to detect. The impression on Carus was that the nobles of Rositing County seemed to make money by selling land, but why no matter how high the land price in Rositing County was sold, people would buy it? This is what Carus could not have imagined.

With this in mind, Carus felt very unbalanced. In just three years, Zhang Ziqiang has achieved such results. If this continues, this boy responds with all his calls. Rosidin's people's expectations will surpass me... Just when His Majesty Carus was puzzled and worried that Zhang Ziqiang's people's expectations would be too high, his black-clothed detective appeared in the Political Affairs Hall again and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

"What's the matter? You can't even calm down?" The man in black could be said to be the one who was still calm in front of Mount Tai collapsed. Why did he look a little excited today? Carus came to his senses and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I received a piece of news half a month ago. It has been confirmed that the Aidra family is using the spirit gathering array to train masters!"

"What's so strange about this? Everyone is using the spirit gathering array."

"But the spirit gathering array used by the Aidra family can gather five times the spiritual energy!"

"ah……"

His Majesty Carus was shocked by the news. The significance of the Five-fold Spirit Gathering Array to the Kingdom is naturally not needed to explain to him by others. He can find out with a little calculation that if the Five-fold Spirit Gathering Array is vigorously promoted, it can at least increase the Kingdom's Golden Elixir Stage by 30%!
