Fang Jie looked at the paper and saw that there were indeed many questions listed on it.
Because I developed too fast and expanded all the way, I accumulated a lot of problems.
After all, Fang Jie thought it was troublesome, so he mainly focused on the undead system at the beginning. The other systems were retained just because he was a human and didn't want to destroy them all.
Fang Jie now understood why so many undead people disliked living beings and wanted to eliminate them all.
Not only because of their hatred for living beings, but most importantly because of their different concepts.
It's too troublesome to control those creatures. It's better to turn them all into obedient undead. But if Fang Jie is asked to massacre, he really can't do it. It's okay if they are hostile camps or different species, but of the same kind and subordinates, Fang Jie can't do it.
I can't take it anymore.
"The first thing is taxation. This is indeed the key to finance."
Qin Lan nodded and said: "It is indeed very important. As a subject, how can we not collect taxes? If we do not collect taxes, then the finances will fall into the hands of the local lords themselves, and their ambitions will gradually grow."
Fang Jie was a little confused when he looked at the various tax items listed, but he knew that he couldn't understand them. After all, he was the leader of the entire territory, equivalent to the emperor of the entire region.
Although Fang Jie has never admitted this, everyone thinks so in their hearts.
As long as Fang Jie is willing, he can directly establish a kingdom. There is no problem at all.
If there were no demigods under his command and they did not comply with the rules of this world, it would not be impossible to establish an empire directly.
"Well, there is basically no problem with these taxes. It's just that the taxes are a little too high."
"It's not high. In the past, the commercial tax was low because of freight, various road risks, or depreciation and loss. But we rely on material warehouses, and these are not available at all. Aren't the material warehouses also investments? And
market."
Fang Jie was stunned. He knew these things before, but they were really inconspicuous.
At the critical moment, Fang Jie actually forgot about these things. After careful calculation, although these things are inconspicuous, aren't they actually a huge loss?
Now that there are material warehouses and market circulation, these losses are basically gone.
If the commercial tax remains the same as before, then the excess will become privately owned by the merchants.
It’s really not okay to spend your own money and efforts, only to have all the benefits reaped by others.
"Besides, the original taxation in this world is far from what it was on Earth before, and we must move closer to the rules of this world. Even so, the income of businessmen is still very high."
"I propose that merchants are not allowed to own their own territories in the future, and there must be an upper limit on noble status."
"Is this to restrict the development of businessmen?" Fang Jie said hesitantly.
Qin Lan nodded: "Yes, it means restricting them. Businessmen's pursuit of profit cannot be changed. If you give them too high status and privileges, then there will be a situation where the tail is too big to lose."
Fang Jie nodded, and then said: "But what's going on with this nobleman? We are not a country."
"It is a privilege given to lords everywhere. It can give some people the status of honorary nobility. With this status, there are certain privileges. But after all, we are not a country, so this nobility can only be an honorary position."
Qin Lan pointed her fingers: "First-class citizen, second-class citizen, third-class citizen, honorary citizen, outstanding citizen of the town, outstanding citizen of the city... You see, I even changed the name."
Well, from the name, it’s really hard to tell that it has anything to do with the nobility.
But Qin Lan's previous title made Fang Jie understand that in fact, the privileges of these people are still similar to those of nobles.
"As long as productivity increases and the people are given a chance to survive, their lives will be better than before. Even if there are some complaints, it is impossible to truly equate them with the nobility."
Fang Jie was stunned, why did he feel like he was himself in the previous life?
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that in addition to better living conditions, it seems that my rights and status also have a level, which is similar to that of civilian serfs in ancient times.
After working on it for a long time, is this the level I have always been at? This is how the superiors view people like me.
Shaking his head, Fang Jie ignored these things and continued: "What about this, a joint-stock company?"
"Of course, since finances need to be improved, these business systems must not be so chaotic in the past. In the past, they were all yours, and you could use all the materials yourself, but others had the right to mobilize them."
"It must be improved now. My idea is to transform it according to the company's model. Give some people certain shares, form branches in different regions in various places, and also give certain local lords certain shares."
"In this way, they can help develop, exert their subjective initiative, make them their own, and organize and improve the flow of wealth, right?" Fang Jie followed Qin Lan's words.
"Yes, that's it. Only in this way can we achieve the best efficiency."
Fang Jie nodded: "Although I feel a little uncomfortable, at least it is still my own industry and I have more resources. Okay, that's it, but the material trading company cannot be separated."
"This is natural, after all, it already belongs to the same existence as the central bank."
As we all know, banks are not under the control of the state. God knows how big a problem it will cause. I have never seen those bankrupt banks in the past. If a bank has a problem, countless people will be affected.
However, under the control of capital, those banks will have problems sooner or later, and it is impossible for them to be fine.
As for possible internal problems, they have been eliminated from the beginning. After all, the employees used by Fang Jie are all undead, and they don't even use their wages, so they can't have any bad ideas.
It is impossible for Qin Lan to divide shares into an organization that can be used as a bank. This involves not only interests, but also rights, and even the right to speak and the scope of operation in many decisions.
Furthermore, the entire taxation agency can be established through this, and it can be turned into an organic whole through the material store.
Only by grasping this fundamental, and it can be said that the next step is to establish the tax framework, can it be truly and effectively operated.
"That's fine. What about agriculture and animal husbandry? Do we need to collect taxes on this? We don't need it at all to increase our productivity. Although we don't need subsidies, the taxes seem to be a bit excessive."
"There's really no way around this. After all, our situation is a little different."
