372. Dech and Esser (4K 2-in-1)(1/2)
Veronica Xing sat near the window, curiously watching the scenery outside the window along with the roar of the train.
Sitting next to her is her maid, Irene, but just looking at her clothes and demeanor, she looks more like Veronica's sister.
Green is everywhere outside the window, with red and purple dotted in it.
Veronica said excitedly:
"What is that? So beautiful!"
Eileen said lovingly:
"It's the orchard, miss."
It was just an ordinary orchard, but for Veronica, whose activity area was limited to the family mansion, Allen University, and the gloomy tower, the scenes outside the window were the first she had seen in her life.
This is also the reason why after they booked the entire luxury car, they also spent an extra amount to buy ordinary tickets. It was because Veronica wanted to see more different people outside.
When Hevin changed her life, although she was free, Veronica didn't run around immediately.
Compared to the blazing sun in the sky, she actually prefers to stay in dark and humid corners.
Her past life did not make her disgusted or want to stay away from the darkness. Instead, it made her feel more attached to the place where she lived.
Staying in the darkness and shadows makes her feel more at ease.
The dead do not envy the light.
Until now, she had no idea what she was pursuing. She knew a lot, but she wanted nothing. Apart from freedom, there was nothing in this world that could stimulate her senses.
Fresh air, fragrant flowers and plants, and sweet fruits are all within easy reach, but they are not so tempting.
Accompanying her is still the book written by Hewen.
What is important is not what is written in the book, but the author of the book.
She vaguely felt that there was some thread coming from the sky, connecting her to the vast starry sky.
But for some reason, she felt that the end of the thread was Hwendelenge.
Everything is not a coincidence. I saw and fell in love with his works, the two met, and he reached out to himself buried in the mud. These are not coincidences.
It's destiny.
She was destined to meet and get to know Hevin, and have many interactions with him.
From the beginning, this was bound to happen.
Although she still doesn't know what Hewen represents to her and what he will bring to her at this moment, she knows that she must find him first. Like a devout hermit who follows the footsteps of the sages, she must follow Hewen forward.
OK.
Then find the truth about it all.
"Miss, miss." The deep, rich male voice brought Veronica back to reality.
The seats in the gentleman's box are sofas facing each other. Veronica and Irene sit on one sofa, and there are two people opposite them, but there is enough distance between the two rows of sofas, and a small
The tables are spaced apart.
The person who spoke to Veronica was a middle-aged man across from him. He was wearing decent clothes and had a gentlemanly and polite manner, but his eyes hid the viciousness of a hungry wolf.
If you don't pay attention to observation, ordinary people will never notice the incompatibility between the man's eyes and his appearance.
The other man sitting next to him was much ruder, and his expression seemed a little awkward. He had scars on his face that looked like ravines, and he was ferocious and ferocious. In short, he seemed a little out of place in this carriage.
The man who spoke explained to Veronica:
"My name is Deqi, and this is my cousin Esther from the country. Although he looks a little rough, he is not bad and has good skills. Have you seen the scar on his face? This
It was left behind when he fought with gangsters."
Veronica nodded slightly, but said nothing.
The man continued to talk:
"Two ladies, did you also go to Wharton? I heard that there are opportunities everywhere, and unlike Aaron, even people who are not that smart can make a name for themselves."
Eileen said for Veronica who was reluctant to speak:
"We went to Wharton to find someone. There is someone the lady wants to meet, and he is in Wharton right now."
Deqi nodded:
"Is this young lady looking for her sweetheart?"
Veronica finally spoke:
"No, but someone very important to me."
Deqi said:
"I can understand that not only love, but many emotions are important to a person, such as a spiritual leader and a life mentor. So who is this beautiful lady going to meet?"
Eileen politely expressed her unwillingness to talk further:
"Just a friend, Mr. Deqi, why are you going to Wharton?"
Deqi explained with a smile:
"What else could it be for, money? We don't want the ladies to be nobles and have to rely on their own hands to make money. If it wasn't for livelihood, there is no need for us to run around like this."
Erin asked with a smile:
"Mr. Deqi has already sat on the gentleman's box, and actually walked in front of many people."
Deqi reached out and touched the brown Motaku felt hat placed on his legs, with a reminiscing look in his eyes:
"I just have a luxury today and take my cousin to see the world. People like us will never be able to earn enough property to buy a manor. No matter how much we earn, it will only be given to those capitalists and nobles.
Just a part-time job."
Deqi smiled gentlemanly:
"I'm sorry, I'm not talking about the two ladies, but your class is indeed squeezing the class we live in. Long ago, maybe we could make enough money to change our destiny through our own efforts, but as time goes by
With the changes over the years, the nobles and wealthy people have tightened their grip on money.
"Big capitalists create a thousand pounds of value, but they will not pay ten pounds of value as wages, because they can replace the so-called workers at any time, and even if they have indispensable technical personnel, they have ways to deal with them.
“Because a company can still operate normally if it loses a skilled worker, but cannot live a normal life without a skilled worker.
"Ladies, do you know what prevents them from living a normal life after losing their jobs?"
Deqi looked at the two ladies with encouraging eyes.
Veronica ignored him and just looked out the window.
Eileen asked:
"What is it?"
Deqi said:
"It's taxes, it's taxes. I personally am a tax-free person, because now after our parliament collects taxes, it does not use them in the lives of ordinary people.
"It's all left in the noble lord's pocket.
"Aristocrats, high-ranking officials, and capitalists work hand in hand to exploit ordinary people like us, so I am a staunch tax-free person. I feel that if this country does not collect taxes, or only collects a small amount of tax in a symbolic sense, it will be better."
Let her run faster and better."
Erin frowned and retorted:
"But how does a country build an army?"
Deqi smiled:
"My suggestion is to let the nobles, high-ranking officials, and capitalists contribute money. There will be no tax on the poor, but double tax on the rich. I know this is unfair and sounds unrealistic, but they are already corrupt anyway.
I’ve paid so much money, why not spit it out a little bit.”
Eileen thought his words were a bit strange:
"What if this is not enough? And even if they are really guilty of corruption and can find out all of it, one day the money will be spent."
Deqi stretched out a finger:
"I have an idea.
"Actually, I also know that the previous idea cannot be implemented, but I am just thinking about it. After all, this world is still controlled by powerful people, and nobles, high-ranking officials, and capitalists are the embodiment of the most powerful power in this world.
"Whether it's guns, the army, or some weirder things, they are all in their hands.
"So I have a less mature idea, that is, let us change the existing tax rate model, reduce the exploitation of ordinary people, and increase the tax on the rich. The high-contributor tax cut bill must be abolished, regardless of
Neither nobles nor capitalists can afford to pay such low taxes anymore.
"And we must separate the tax payment process from these people, and have multiple organizations collect taxes, and the House of Lords also needs to be restrained, so as to ensure that the tax bill is reasonable and will not be corrupted by these people."
When Irene heard De Qi's statement, her reaction was that it was impossible, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. After thinking about it more deeply, she found that this statement still didn't work.
Deqi smiled slightly:
"Indeed, this is just a ridiculous delusion. After all, unless there is a ruler who cares about the people and has absolute authority, it is impossible for similar things to happen. In fact, I don't want them to press my crude
