The city hall in the middle of the night is still brightly lit.

Although the busiest autumn harvest has just ended, as the city owner of Bangta City, Count Stark’s work is not too little.

Unlike the predecessor, Satsuma, who likes to decentralize and let the people do things differently, Count Stark prefers to take all his powers into his own hands, and the big things are decided by him.

He likes the feeling of controlling power.

However, the price paid for this is that he wants the Earl of Pisa to be much more busy.

It was just after the end of a small meeting. He returned to his office in the city government office and did not take any rest at all. He began to approve the official documents.

Because of the excellent results of this autumn harvest, Bangta City has been praised by His Majesty the King and the Department of Agriculture. The Earl of Stark was specially commended by the Kingdom Council, making him a kingdom or a family. The reputation of the interior has risen sharply, and it has become another political star in the Stark family.

But Earl Stark himself knows very well how much water he has in his performance, and how many falsehoods he has.

So in order for this thing to not leak, he must spend a lot of time and energy to do the aftermath.

Because he is equally clear, although the ally of the family and the family pushed him to this position, let him replace the Earl of Satsuma as the master of a city, but how important it is to carry the burden on him, and those other than the family In the family, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him. As long as he dares to make a little mistake, it is inevitable that there will be a storm.

Before the departure, the family patriarch. At the same time, the Duke of Stark, who was also his big brother, told him clearly. If the things here are not handled well. What problems arise, the family will definitely throw him out as a victim when necessary.

So Earl Stark was extremely strong after arriving in Bangta City, in order to ensure that he was able to make satisfactory results for the family behind him and those allies, while blocking the mouths of those who questioned.

Of course, the premise is that there is no leak.

There are many key places in these aftercare work that cannot be done by others, and must be handled personally by Earl Stark.

Fortunately, in this regard, the family also gave him a lot of support.

For example, the data reported by Bangta City is obviously watery. However, with the family's control over the Agricultural Department, the Agriculture Department did not conduct an exact and detailed assessment of this data. It only took a passing and recognized the data, making this data extremely extreme in all cities in the Kingdom of Lampari. Bright eyes.

With this data, not only the reputation of Earl Stark has risen sharply, but in the Kingdom Council, the faction that insists on agriculture as the head of the Stark family also has the upper hand.

In the debate, the most favorable example of this faction is the food production data of Bangta City.

Because according to the calculation of the Agricultural Department, it is only in accordance with the policy currently implemented by Bangta City. As all cities in the kingdom are promoted, the grain production of the entire kingdom will be greatly enhanced.

If you can reach the level of Bangta City. Then the entire Lampari Kingdom only takes three to five years to completely get rid of the famine, and even have a balance on food every year.

Everyone must admit that the most important factor in maintaining a country’s stability is to let the people in the country eat.

As long as the people can survive, the Lanpari Kingdom will no longer have the same turmoil more than a decade ago.

As long as there is no turmoil in the Kingdom of Lampari, it will naturally become stronger as it recuperates.

This is a recognized truth on the mainland of Sainz, so the other faction against the Stark family can not rebut the argument for the time being.

Even His Majesty the King expressed his approval for the view of the Stark family, but made some reservations and did not really say that agricultural development should be the first element.

And to everyone’s surprise, just a few days ago, the Lanpari Kingdom’s Commercial Department suddenly announced a new resolution stating that in order to promote business development in the Kingdom of Lampari, it was decided to give some recognized chambers of liberty to the Kingdom. Trade rights.

The significance of this free trade right is to allow these chambers of liberty and free trade to conduct commercial trade freely with other countries without special reporting to the Commercial and Royal Parliaments, so that these chambers can be traded with other countries. A more flexible approach can also save a lot of time.

Of course, traded goods must not be on the trade list that the kingdom banned, and trade income also needs to be taxed in accordance with the kingdom.

Because the taxation standards of different cities in the kingdom are different, for the sake of convenience, the tax that these free trade associations will pay through trade with other countries will be directly paid to the kingdom finance, and not included in any city in the kingdom.

As soon as this policy came out, everyone understood that it was King Majesty’s way of seeking financial solutions to the embarrassing kingdom’s finances, trying to collect part of the city’s finances from all over the kingdom to flood the kingdom’s finances.

However, the business in the Kingdom of Lampari is not very developed. There are only a handful of chambers of commerce that can be traded with other countries. Therefore, this policy actually has no influence on most chambers of commerce and cities in the kingdom. Naturally, Did not cause much opposition to the voice and rebound.

On the list of the Chamber of Commerce that has obtained free trade rights, the new Flyer will be listed.

Earl Stark, who was originally the owner of Bangta City, did not care too much about this, because he knew that Xu had always been closely related to His Royal Highness Servini. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce also won the weight of His Royal Highness and even the King’s Majesty. It is also a matter of course for the Feishang Association to obtain free trade rights through this relationship.

However, when Earl Stark was liquidating the financial income of Bangta City under the auspices of the aides, he suddenly found out that the new Feishang merchants were freely traded, but they had a great influence on Bangta City.

According to the statistics of the tax revenue of Bangta City made by the office of the city government, in the past two years, the new Feishang Association began to pay taxes of several hundred gold coins per month from the beginning. It has been growing at a high speed.

Within this year. The new Feishang Association pays more than 200,000 gold coins per month. The tax paid in June reached an astonishing 430,000 gold coins, and even surpassed several established big business associations in Bangta City, occupying a very large proportion of the entire fiscal revenue of Bangta City.

Since July, the taxes paid by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have plummeted. In July, it has directly changed from 430,000 gold coins in June to 260,000 gold coins. In August, it has fallen to 190,000 gold coins. In October, it was only barely more than 100,000 gold coins.

The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is tax evasion? This is of course impossible.

The reason for this is that the new Flyer will be forced by the Earl of Stark. Almost all of his business has been relocated to the rainy valley.

And because His Majesty the King gave the rain valley and the surrounding land to Xu as his viscount territory, according to the regulations of the Kingdom Aristocratic Parliament, any income in the private territory of the aristocracy belongs to the aristocratic individual, and the nobility only needs Paying a certain amount of tax to the kingdom's finances does not require responsibility to anyone else in the kingdom.

Therefore, after the new Feishang Merchants moved to the Rain Valley, except for some of the business that was completed through Bangta City, most of the other incomes no longer need to pay taxes to Bangta City.

Now that the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce has obtained the right to free trade, then according to the Commercial Department’s interpretation of the free trade rights, the income tax generated by the commercial trade between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other countries on the mainland is also directly handed over to the Kingdom Finance. Tacheng is also not qualified to intervene.

So summed up. It has become a new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. Although it is still nominally a chamber of commerce in Bangta City, only the product service center and the new concept modern living magic house of the new Feishang Association in Bangta City need to pay taxes to Bangta City. No other business needs to pay attention to the main city of Bangta City.

The speed of development of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is obvious to all. In the near future, it has reached a large number of commercial cooperation with the Kingdom of Rulson and the Principality of Constantine, and even cooperated with the orcs in the black rice wasteland.

Without any surprise, the development of the new Feishang Chamber will only be faster and faster, and the profits will be higher and higher.

Correspondingly, Bangta City has lost a very important and increasingly important tax.

Despite the implementation of the policy of suppressing agriculture and promoting agriculture, the Earl of Stark actually understands in his heart that for Bangta City, most of the tax is still paid by the major chambers of commerce. If it is not a position problem, he will serve as Bangta City. After the city's lord, he will definitely continue to vigorously develop business like the former Earl of Satsuma, taking into account agriculture.

However, now, because of his position and the help of the Stark family and allies, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce has been forced out of Bangta City, so the bitter fruit planted by him can only be carried by him. .

In addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are many chambers of business in Bangta City that have lost confidence in Bangta City because of the policy of suppressing agriculture and promoting agriculture. There are constantly chambers of commerce to evacuate Bangta City to other cities, and there are also like Amritsar. The Chamber of Commerce, like several other major chambers of commerce, followed the footsteps of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to invest in the Black Rice Wasteland and the Kingdom of Rulson and the Principality of Constantine.

In the first batch of chambers of commerce announced by the Commercial Department, in addition to the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the Armani Chamber of Commerce and the Salanque Chamber of Commerce were also included.

The Earl of Stark gave a rough estimate of the business of these chambers of commerce and concluded.

The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce will withdraw from Bangta City, making Bangta City’s monthly tax revenues as low as 300,000 gold coins. Now, after the four chambers of commerce have obtained free trade rights, the tax revenue of Bangta City may be reduced. The minimum is 200,000 gold coins.

Last month, the total land tax revenue of Bangta City was just over 500,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to a direct loss of half now. The blow is undoubtedly extremely heavy.

The current city of Bangta is almost equivalent to a few years ago and can no longer be called the fastest growing city in the Kingdom of Lampari.

More importantly, the large reduction in taxes proves that Banta City has undergone a major retrogression under the control of Count Stark, which is a heavy blow to the conservatives led by the Stark family.

Therefore, while dealing with the problems of the autumn harvest, Count Stark is also trying to improve the tax revenue of Bangta City to avoid this situation.

The intense and busy work continued, but at this time, Earl Stark saw the next official document and his eyes shrank. (To be continued.)
