Chapter 591 Huge gains
.
Arica's military expenditure and royal expenses account for one-quarter of the total tax revenue. The ratio between Arica's taxes and the total economic output is similar to that of China, and they are all under the high tax system. (_) The government mainly charges taxation for consortiums. As long as the economic scale of ordinary people does not reach the lower limit, they are exempt from taxes. In other words, ordinary people have not given taxes to the state at all.
The consortium always hopes to try to reduce taxes as much as possible, while the royal family hopes to collect as much as possible. The officials who set the tax ratio have always been in conflict. From their personal perspective, they hope to increase the tax ratio, but the consortium is their funder. Under the mutual struggle and compromise between the three parties, Arica's tax policy has remained unchanged in this ratio for hundreds of years.
Over the past few hundred years, the per capita GDP has increased significantly, and the consortium of Arica has become richer and richer, which has also greatly increased the absolute total tax revenue. In China, tax policy adjustments can also increase the income of low-income people, such as issuing subsidies.
However, it is quite difficult for Arika to change its tax policies, and thanks to advanced technology, the per capita GDP of ordinary people is more than 90 times higher than that of China. Their salary is already very high, and they do not need to tax, so they can live a rich life. If the government still has subsidies, everyone will no longer have to work hard. Working for one or two hours a day can create high value, which is obviously useless to the country. In this case, the current tax policy has lost its regulatory effect.
The people of Arica can live a prosperous life as long as they have a job, but it is not enough to make a fortune. The huge benefits brought by technological progress are almost all the income of the consortium. In other words, the surplus value created by the people is too high. The boss is always the one who obtains the surplus value. At the same time, the consortium is also the one who invests in scientific and technological research and development, and the government only engages in some theoretical research.
The consortium is getting richer and the royal family, which accounts for a fixed tax proportion, is also rising. In fact, military spending is not enough in peacetime. The remaining large amount of wealth is to make new investments and engage in scientific and technological research and development. After the investment and research and development benefit, you can earn more money. The royal family is the largest consortium in the Arica Empire.
Since tax policies have lost their due adjustment effect, society always needs a new product to adjust the redistribution of wealth, which is the luxury goods and service industry. Arika has many companies engaged in luxury goods management, and its services are rich people, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as it is popular among the rich class, there is nothing inexpensive. Those service-oriented enterprises with good reputation and reputation can make a lot of money as long as they hold one or two large customer units tightly.
Arica redistributes social wealth through these two industries. As for ordinary people, what do they do if they don’t have money to buy luxury goods? Those things are just brands, with very low price ratios, and are made to maintain a decent life for the rich.
Ananda also found out that there are many industries under the name of the royal family, but these industries are reserved for the royal members who are about to be separated. There are three core industries of the royal family, one is the gene researcher and the genetic optimization liquid production group under the subordinates. This industry is unique to the royal family, and not other consortiums cannot operate this project. In fact, the consortium of Arica can engage in any project, but the optimization liquid is provided to the royal family by civilized management, and the input-output ratio is not high, so other consortiums do not involve this industry.
Although the profit ratio of gene optimization liquid is not high, its total production volume is extremely large, and as long as it is produced, there is no need to worry about sales. This cannot guarantee the needs of all people in China, so the profit is absolutely good, which is a great source of wealth for the royal family.
The second item is the Martial Arts Research Institute and its subordinate Martial Arts Manufacturing Group. The royal family controls the army and of course they have to engage in military research and development. The royal family focuses on research and development rather than manufacturing. As long as the military price produced by other domestic consortiums is not higher than the predetermined value of the royal family, the royal family will not engage in this kind of military production. The military production of the royal family cannot produce, so the technological power of military equipment is the most important. For the royal family, it is nothing more than changing the money, so the income and expenditure of this project are basically equal, and sometimes the royal family even needs to invest additionally.
The third item is ship research and manufacturing, which is the same as military equipment, except that there are two major projects that are open to the public, including civilian ships and ground-air landing craft manufacturing. Among them, ground-air landing craft is unique to the royal family, with high technical content and large basic investment. Other consortiums have difficulty making up their minds to invest in this project, so the royal family's ship research and manufacturing can also make certain profits. Other projects such as space stations and various cutting-edge technological projects, the royal family only invests funds to enjoy dividends, and the core is in the hands of other consortiums.
There are many research institutions under the royal family, and the number of special people - the Impressionist is the largest, accounting for more than 30% of the total number of the country, with a total of nearly 10,000 people. Therefore, the royal family can purchase more technologies from advanced civilizations than other consortiums. But in Ananda's eyes, the value of these Impressionist lies in their research minds rather than crystallization. As long as the Nascent Soul monks on Eagle Island learn the knowledge in their brains, their value will be greatly reduced.
After learning about the gains of this raid, Ananda unconsciously fell into deep thought. The system of Arica was established above high technology. The royal family had huge wealth in economy and was slightly weak in politics, but they could also defend the interests of the royal family, and had absolute control in military terms. The technological level was the highest in the empire, and the emperor seemed to have not much work!
This made Ananda very interested. Could this system be implemented in the Continent of Artifact God? She couldn't think about it clearly, and she wanted to discuss it with Zhang Ziqiang after going back.
But Ananda also came to an understanding from the Arica system that if China does not find ways to compress administrative expenses, popularize intelligent system management, and increase military budgets, it will not be able to carry out interstellar development. If its own forces no longer help in the form of gifts, and with China's fiscal budget, it will not even be able to maintain the expenditure of a fleet, let alone rebuilding space stations and space cities, it is estimated that for a long time, China will have to rely on the Qiangni Group to engage in interstellar development, which Ananda is happy to see.
Ananda also found out from his intelligent brain that there is a huge underground palace underground in the Sixth Ring Road City, and top scientific and technological research institutes are concentrated here. Nearly 10,000 Impatiens under the royal family account for 7,000 here, mainly engaged in cutting-edge scientific and technological theories. The royal family also has a top scientific research space station. The application of technology and relatively dangerous laboratories are built in the space station and guarded by the Imperial Third Fleet.
With these gains, Ananda was confident that she could go to her master. She happily waved her fists into the air and returned to the ground happily. Fei Dalin is following her closely, just like the Four Hidden Guards. One corresponds to the solar system, the Two corresponds to the Artifact God Continent, the Three corresponds to the Eagle Island, and the Four Corner Base. Fei Dalin is familiar with Penglai Island, so it corresponds to Penglai Island and the affairs around Ananda. After the successful raid, Fei Dalin followed the people from the Claw Base.
At this time, Federin saw her coming out of the underground palace and quickly came to report: "The Grand Queen, since the news of William's surrender was released, the major fleets of the Heisler Stellar System and the chief executives from all over the country have contacted the palace, saying that they would participate in the abdication ceremony in five days and support the connection between the royal regimes. However, there was no movement in the Nikaro Stellar System. Only Lieutenant General Gaston and Jimmy Soren had contacted the palace several times. When they learned that the Grand Queen was taking over the royal industry, they all said they would contact again, this..."
Ananda's heart sank. Could it be that something happened to the Nikaro Galaxy? She waved her hand to interrupt Fei Dalin's report and ordered with a calm face: "Contact those two people immediately, I want to communicate with them directly."
Fei Dalin immediately sent someone to connect with the communication. Maybe Gaston and the others were always guarding each other, and the connection was very fast. Ananda was too lazy to bother to communicate directly. After asking, he found out that the two wanted to inquire about the future royal family's governance strategy.
Ananda asked the two of them unhappily: "Does the royal family still need your consent to do things?"
As soon as she said this, Gaston and Jimmy Soren felt pressure coming to their faces. The two hurriedly explained: "No, no! Your Majesty, I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, but I also have difficulties..." Just kidding, they knew that Ananda was the new emperor of the Empire who could jump in a single space and quickly mobilize the army, so how dare they rebel?
Ananda was not a person who couldn't listen. When he heard that they were willing to be loyal, his face looked much better. It was normal for his subordinates to have difficulties. Just talk about it and discuss a way to solve it. This was how Zhang Ziqiang was in power in the Continent of the Artifact God. Ananda learned it very well.
"I am not the new emperor, I am just the great queen of the new emperor. What are your difficulties? "
Although Gaston and the others were surprised that there was another person in the new emperor, they didn't have time to think too much at this time, and it was the most important thing to say that the embarrassment was the most important. Gaston said: "The Grand Queen, although I am the commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet, there are many generals in the fleet. They used to be loyal to William IX. At this time, everyone had their own small plans. They were worried that the new emperor would adjust the army and have a major change in their blood after ascending the throne, and they were also worried about the annual military expenditure..."
Jimmy Soren also said: "The Grand Queen, there are many politicians in the Nikaro Galaxy to ask me if the new emperor will change the current system after the new emperor ascends the throne and will the tax ratio be increased?"
Ananda thought for a moment and asked: "Why are only the army and political leaders of the Nikaro Galaxy who are so worried, and the military and political officials of the Heisler Galaxy who have never asked this question at all, agreed to participate in the abdication ceremony?"
"This..." Gaston and Jimmy Soren were speechless at the same time, but Jimmy Soren was a little thick-skinned. He didn't need to be loyal to the emperor. In other words, he was not a party member and cadre, so he explained awkwardly: "It's also my fault that I was too quick-talking. After seeing the news released by William, he brags about the great queen's wisdom to some politicians, and eventually let them know that the great queen is not from a country around the empire. The economic strategies of the countries around the empire are similar, and in fact they learned from the suzerain country Randybos, so..."
