104 Episode 104: Strike

This time, those who were engaged in military service argue.

"Come on in the war, no matter how hard you work, only kings and royals can get land and slaves.

I see ... it makes sense.

"What are you talking about! It's important!"

Hey, rymond. Don't shout.

Am I king?

"Maybe a lot of solidarity was created while we were working together for a long time. And then this war. Since this is a national crisis, we absolutely need it. I guess it's a request that will definitely go through.

In other words, they do not want to go to war.

I want to make money in war.

"What do you do? King Rossais"

"I can't help sending any suppression groups. Nothing but concessions."

In other words, you have to pay land and slaves or their salary.

But once you do, you will have to forever.

There are a lot of things that just mean land, but they don't want wasteland either.

Farmland is limited.

And they have their own land.

Even if you get a land far away together with that land, you can not manage it.

So you can't do land. Impossible because slaves and money are limited to land.

And they should understand that much.

I mean ...

"Tax reduction."

She expressed her expression that Rymond was troublesome.

In this case, the problem is not a decrease in income.

Recognizing them 3,000 means recognizing all the peasants in the kingdom of Rossais, and recognizing peasants living in the territory of the tribe.

In other words, there is a need to lower all taxes, regardless of the territory or territory of the tribe.

This is not a two-character level of trouble.

This is because the people of the tribes follow the country for the relief of their territory.

The tribes are extremely reluctant to involve the state in their territory.

Now, there are 57 out of the 84 important people in this country.

It will be resolved if you agree immediately, but ...

"What do you think?"

I listened to it.

One of the tribes speaks.

"... I agree with the tax cuts"

That's surprising ... that you get the first proposal.

"I have more than fifty husbands from my territory. Anyone who remembers going against it will easily wake up a second time. I have to do it, so it's better to get rid of that fang now. "

But soon, many royals expressed their opposition.

"Oh, I disagree! My territory's finances are still poor! If I cut any more taxes ……”

"Yes! And the decisions of the Aristocrat Congress affect all royal territories ... interference in domestic politics."

"But what do you do? The country will die in this state."

The tribes start discussing with Gaya-Gaya.

Occasionally angry flies.

It's not good ... if any of them thinks that arriving in the kingdom of King Evil or the kingdom of Belvedir would give you more relief ...

However, there is no other way to overcome this than tax reduction.

Yeah, if this happens ...

"I think there is no other way than tax reduction!"

I raised my voice. The gaze of the royal family concentrates on me.

"Even if you manage to survive this time without admitting ... this will happen a second time?"

This is the same as other greats pointed out.

A person who remembers going against it once will turn the anti-flag with a lighter feeling than the first time.

"I'm still good this time. The number is only 3,000, and the demands are relatively light. If I do not stop here, it will be a big problem later. "

In this country, farmers are soldiers.

In other words, it's easy to kill us if they want to revolt. Given this, we can see how terrible and lucky this is.

"This is not a matter of the death of the king of Rosais. It is a matter of shaking your position. In the Greek nations, it seems that in the past it was a monarchy like ours. `` They rebelled, killed, and began politics themselves. ''

I threaten the tribes based on their actual history. Even if our country is destroyed and you are saved, it is only a temporary extension of life.

... Actually, this history is only slightly different.

To be precise, "the commoner and the royal tribe who instigated it over the repressed king killed the king." The royal family became aristocrats and began aristocracy. Later, the commoners robbed the nobility of politics.

Despite how easy it is to defeat it, it is impossible to defeat the king without a core to coordinate it.

But the majority of Adernia's royals do not know much about the history of Greece.

Lies are also convenient.

"Tax reduction ... but at least it has to be under the jurisdiction where the tax is lightest."

"If you reduce that, you won't have my territory !!"

The clan cried. If so, the rest of the tribes will likewise speak out.

The royals without many territories have less tax revenue.

That's why we have to raise taxes.

Australians with some territory in the evidence are unlikely to be actively opposed.

I don't agree, though.

"It's a good opinion. The less you earn, the less military power you have in this country. So ..."

There is no way. Let's stomach up.

Before you force a person to bleed, you should show yourself bleeding.

`` Publishing the production methods of paper and distilled spirits ''

Congress calms down in an instant.

I felt the sounds of the inhabitants swallowing their breath.

No wonder it's surprising. Both paper and spirits can be said to be the source of the wealth of the Rosais family.

Currently, large-scale construction is being carried out because foreign currency is obtained from paper and spirits.

"Oh king! Are you sane?"

Raymond opens his eyes and shouts.

I stare at Lymond and answer.

"I can't help it. I'm telling my lords I can't. We should cut off."

When I said, Raymond was still saying something, but it went down for the first time.

And I look around the royals and ask.

"Are you still dissatisfied?"

"... If you teach me how to make paper and spirits, you will certainly have the finances of my territory, but much more than before ..."

"You just need to get a sales tax. It's a tax that isn't relevant to most ordinary people.

Raising taxes will cool the economy a bit, but the economy should grow more than that.

Even now, sales taxes are rising tremendously every month.

"How is it?"

"..."

The tribes seem to be thinking deeply.

After a while, one of the royal tribes, who had strongly opposed, opens his mouth.

"In that case, I will not disagree. I agree."

That was the start, and one after another, the tribes expressed their favor.

Subsequent resolutions determined a significant tax cut and unification of taxes.

One of the last races bows and leaves Congress.

Only me and rymond are here.

......

Fufufu, hahaha

"Hahahaha! I went well. Raymond."

"Yes. No way it rolls so well. Thanks to your speech."

Speaking of which, your performance was good. Rymond.

It was about to erupt.

Well, let's explain.

In this case, there is no loss for our royal family. Rather, there is only gain.

Will the supply increase and lower the value by exposing the manufacturing method to the Australians?

Certainly a little lower. Just a little.

In the first place, paper and distilled spirits are consumables, and are basically sold at low profit.

The increase in supply does not mean that the value drops sharply.

They say that tax cuts in the territories will be more than adequately covered by sales taxes from merchants.

After all, the bronze, silver, and gold coins brought in by the Christians in large quantities are becoming increasingly available in Japan.

I'm also happy to be able to take taxes with money rather than with cash.

Still, you have to be prepared for a significant drop in tax revenue.

And this time I got it ...

"Finally, we were able to touch the royal territory, which was a sanctuary. In addition, tax cuts can reduce our income at once."

The first is difficult but the second is easy.

That's what I've been saying so far, but it's also true for royal opponents.

Once there was a precedent for the decision of the Aussie Congress to affect royal territories. This is a big harvest.

And they seemed to feel that the sales tax and paper and spirits could cover the tax reduction enough ...

That is wrong.

In the first place, merchants go to places with large populations.

So coming to the territory as before is the same. Okay, more or less merchants will be on the territory of the royal family, but not enough to expect sales tax.

It seems that the people of economic deafness do not understand this area.

In short, this has significantly reduced the power of the ethnic group.

But why did he go so well?

Honestly, it's over ...

I thought it was a fact.

As a result, it turned out to be a good one, but it is quite possible that the meeting was squashed and lost at the point of war.

"They seem to be getting stuck in the Greek culture these days. They seem to have bought a Christian teacher slave and let their children learn Greek. They are also keen on collecting art. Did you want money in the relationship? "

"I see. It's much better to sell paper and spirits than to sell money in a storeroom for money."

In other words, thanks to the Christians who are eager to do business.

Nice, Christian.

Well, but ...

"The rebound of the commoners was faster than expected."

"... It's a Christian, maybe you're injecting it with the money economy."

I was prepared ...

Don't panic if it's faster than expected. The money economy is expanding faster than expected.

"Now, I'm going to those guys who have refused to work, and I'll get down to it."

"I will accompany you, King."

When I went to the scene, the married women surrounded me and complained about the pain of construction and the difficulties of living in the mouth.

I'm not Prince Shotoku, so I can't answer each one and I can't hear.

First, let the husbands talk until they are satisfied.

When I determined that the married couple had complained a bit, I opened my mouth.

"I understand your dissatisfaction!"

Make it as loud as possible to everyone.

And look around the faces of the married women. Eyes tight.

"I'm glad I can give you land, but how can you get a land far away? Slave, salt and money are finite, and not so much that everyone can reach."

Dissatisfied colors appear on the soldiers' faces. But I will not stop.

"But it's also true that I want to reward you. So ... I want to show my thanks in the form of tax cuts."

In addition, the state supplies food during labor and military service.

Cancel temporary taxation.

Equality of criminal penalties for royalty, royals, and commoners.

Prohibition of the improper property seizure by kings and royals.

etc ……

We promise to improve what the commoners are and will be dissatisfied with.

Gradually, the colors of surprise and joy begin to emerge on the faces of the commoners.

Probably it was more than expected.

That's exactly what I aimed for. If you make a concession anyway, it is better to reopen and make a large concession rather than halfway dispensing.

Finally I finish with a loud voice.

"I want to be your guardian. I want to protect you as a king. So why would you also protect me in this country? I want to ask you as a king!"

This time, I will request it from here.

Silence rules the field.

It is one of the commoners who broke the silence.

"Hello King!"

Hearing one scream, the surrounding commoners scream.

"'Hello King!'"

The waves of the hurray gradually and gradually spread, so that the atmosphere can be shaken someday.

"" "Hello King!"

......

It was a little more than I imagined, but was that great success?

_____

Commander's power, veto in the Senate, Emperor's dictatorship in emergency, Supreme Priesthood ...

Emperor Romano has various rights.

Where do these permissions come from? Is the emperor a living god? Did you draw the blood of the emperor? Is it because Zenopia, Heno, Arne, Mares give?

no

The emperor's absolute authority is rooted in only one duty.

It is a refugee duty.

The emperor is allowed to exercise his absolute authority in protecting the lives, food, water, freedom and property of his citizens.

And the rights of our Romano citizens are based on tax payments, military service obligations and absolute loyalty to the emperor.

Emperor and citizen.

I think the empire is immortal as long as both parties keep their obligations.

Episode 144

Bachin!

The sound of striking the cheek resounds in Jurg.

It was Redus that was struck, and Laquera was struck.

"Who will be his wife?"

"... Can I commit you here if I care?"

Redus glares at Laquera.

Laquera looks back at her.

"It's okay, but I'll bite my tongue and die if you're going to commit it. Please commit the corpse as you like."

The medical skills of the Equus are low. Therefore, if you bite your tongue, you will die.

However, it will be a rather painful death.

"... Good, I won't violate you. I'll bring Muzzio's neck right away, so I don't have to take control."

"You can't kill Muzio. For a coward like you"

Laquera and Redus stared for a while and then turned away from each other.
