"Deputy Chancellor of the Exchequer, Hattie Honey."
With Hattie here, the territory's tax revenue will definitely be recovered in full.
Then there are Cang Yue and He Nei, the three of them check and balance each other, and the money will flow into Jiang Heng's hands.
In fact, Jiang Heng didn't think He Nei had the ability to be the finance minister, nor did he have the ability to serve as deputy.
However, it shouldn’t be too obvious to burn bridges.
If someone comes from behind in the future, I won’t blame her.
"Minister of Commerce, Lan."
…
"All military affairs will be temporarily managed by Lord Jiang Heng and Huo Mi'er Zuzu Vivian."
Vivian read a long list of names, filling most of the ministerial positions.
The remaining more specific ones, such as deputies and some minor officials, are left to these ministers to find on their own.
I believe they can be found.
The salary of the territorial minister is also pretty good. He doesn't have to worry about food and drink, which is enough for him to enjoy.
Moreover, Jiang Heng did not prohibit them from engaging in commercial activities.
This is not the world before. If someone overreaches the limit, they will be killed directly and all assets will be confiscated.
She didn't even need to give an explanation.
As for transferring assets and so on, Jiang Heng firmly believes that businessmen in this world are all selfish.
I won't give up my life for my family or anything else.
And this is a magical world, where strength is the most important thing.
As long as Jiang Heng is strong enough, there is nothing to worry about.
Of course, the various systems, rules and laws of the territory's ministerial system need to be constantly improved. It is also Jiang Heng's first time as a lord and he doesn't understand anything, so just take your time.
"In addition, a magic association will be established in the territory. The president will be vacant, with the vice-president Jiu Zhaocheng and the mage instructor Yaliu."
"Warrior Association, the president is vacant, the vice-president is Wu Shui, and the warrior mentor is Sha Zhao."
"If you want to set up another association, you can apply to the Minister of Personnel Amber, and after it is approved, go to the Minister of Resource Management Jade to approve the association's location."
"above."
Vivian closed the long appointment list and stood aside quietly.
"Any comments?"
No one has an opinion except those human businessmen.
The human businessman gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Situations are stronger than people.
At least they managed to get a Vice Minister of Finance, and the territory’s official caravan was half as big as theirs.
Forget it.
"Next, it's about territorial taxation."
The territory's current tax rate is 50%.
This is absolutely a terrifying number for civilians.
If you earn 5,000 copper coins a month, you have to pay 2,500 to Jiang Heng and use the rest for living.
And the taxes in Jiangheng territory are quite low.
According to what Harty said at the beginning, 90% should be exploited.
Some other territories are like this.
However, after Jiang Heng has been a lord for so long, he is no longer so simple.
The lords of this world really spend a lot of money, including military expenses, maintenance expenses, and construction expenses...
But she wasn't prepared to be so black-hearted.
"Master! Hattie feels that you are too kind to the people of the territory now!"
"In my opinion, taxation should be raised to 90%!!"
Hattie is still obsessed with 90% of taxes.
She is Jiang Heng's slave and has no private property. Even if Jiang Heng raises the tax to 200%, it has nothing to do with her.
Needless to say, there were some extremely evil lords who raised taxes to over 100% and forced free people to sell themselves.
"90%, do you think Master Aheng is one of those black-hearted lords?"
He Nei hurriedly objected.
With 90% tax, what else do they earn, just work in vain for Jiang Heng!
"90% is indeed too high."
Taxation is a matter of personal concern, and other races are equally opposed to it.
"That's 80% good. Don't think Hattie doesn't know how much you earn!"
Before Hattie officially took office, he had already acted like a finance minister, looking very reluctant.
She selectively ignored the subtitle.
Everyone present is a master who can earn tens of hundreds of gold coins a month.
And because he is a vassal of Jiang Heng, according to the previous policy, the tax rate that needs to be paid is extremely low.
They are also among the highest income earners in the territory.
The territory's tax revenue has dropped sharply.
It’s hard to say whether ordinary citizens and players can receive half of the normal amount just by relying on slaves.
Hattie knew that if she wanted to save her life, she must do something for Jiang Heng that she couldn't say for herself.
Taxation is related to the financial situation of the territory.
The goblin merchants and the human merchants first wanted to strangle Hattie to death. This bastard was so quick to rebel!
Wait, the goblins suddenly thought that they were businessmen.
But at the same time, they are also Jiang Heng's slaves!
Depend on!
"Yes, that's right! 80% of the tax revenue is already the result of Master Aheng's kindness! Don't be ungrateful!"
The goblins instantly unified their views and stood on Hattie's side.
"Master Aheng!"
He Nei and the others looked at Jiang Heng anxiously. Could she really agree to such a high tax?
"80% is indeed a bit too high."
Jiang Heng said calmly and glanced at Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing watched her nose and heart, waiting for her appearance.
The others were as quiet as chickens, listening to the quarrel between humans and goblins. They only needed to wait for the result.
Jiang Heng supported what Hattie did, otherwise she wouldn't have just said one sentence that was a bit too high.
It shows that she is also dissatisfied with the current taxation.
Forget it, their monthly income is just that anyway, not low, not high either, just listen to the lord.
The businessmen on both sides were quarreling fiercely.
“Do you think it’s easy for the master to maintain such a large territory——!!!”
Hattie shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Construction, security, maintenance, etc., none of which require the owner to pay for it!”
"It's not because of the master that you can argue with me here safely now!"
"How long can we spend on the territory just by robbing!"
"Don't forget, the will of the world is still watching! If the financial situation of the territory is not good, it will go bankrupt!!"
Everyone present was instantly ashamed by Hattie's scolding.
But if you think about it carefully, everything Harty said was bullshit.
The entire territory is Jiang Heng's private property, and it is not public. She is changing the concept.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Jiang Heng came out and interrupted their quarrel. After the words fell, Lin Qingqing stood up leisurely.
"Lord Aheng, I have a suggestion."
"explain."
"We can divide tax brackets based on income."
"Different incomes require different taxes. The more you earn, the more you pay."
In fact, it is the same as the Dragon Kingdom, but compared to the Dragon Kingdom, Jiang Heng's territory feels more black-hearted.
The situation is different.
"That's a good idea!"
Hattie was the first to jump in support.
