As the so-called blue sky and white clouds, the breeze is blowing, and the summer of the Irish grasslands still has the smell of grass and earth, which is still very strong.

After all, there is too much rain here throughout the year, especially for the growth of pastures, and it is normal to smell a little dirty.

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

This was the first time Edward had seen such a scene.

Edward could not bear the beauty of this view, and he immediately sent a mare who had been incredulated, and began to discuss it with the young Governor.

"Tax issues? How? Recently, I have been looking to the Cabinet to report that Ireland's national tax payment in the second quarter has reached 30,000 pounds, which was a year's worth of taxes before! ”

The horse's slender four legs walked slowly, and every now and then he bowed his head to eat a mouthful of tender green grass, and His Majesty turned his head to look at the governor with a slight look of annoyance on his face, and asked.

"Your Majesty, although the economy of Ireland has been improving recently, it is still pressed by a stone, and it is difficult to easily go into battle and contribute real strength to the central government."

John. Perrot rode likewise, slightly more than half a horse behind the king, and then assumed the appearance of a duke, and whispered.

"Specifically, tell me, let me take a look at this small island, what's wrong with you!"

Edward smiled heartily, and then whispered.

It is not easy to govern the country, let alone the island of Ireland, where immigrants and Celts live together, and there are many troubles.

"Your Majesty, recently, many Celtic tribal nobles have gone bankrupt because of their extravagant lives, resulting in tribal conflicts breaking out from time to time, which cannot be prevented!"

"And this has led to the Governor's Mansion being unable to collect taxes on time!"

The Celts were indeed a nuisance, and although the Irish were said to have been brought into the feudal era, their hatred for each other did not diminish much, and the meaning was only eased a little for the time being.

This kind of hatred of the tribal face, the more the role of mediation goes to the back, the more powerless it becomes.

"As far as I know, the Celts don't pay a high percentage of taxes, right?"

Edward looked at his governor with a smirk, and he had set himself up in an ambush.

Seeing this, John smiled awkwardly, and then continued without any disapproval: "That's right, Your Majesty, you are really wise and powerful!" ”

"Although the Celts have some troubles, they are not to be worried, and the mutual vendetta between the Celts will help the Governor's Office to divide and win over it, which is more beneficial to the rule of the kingdom!"

"It's just that in recent years, with the spread of Chinese and writing, the amount of funds required has become more and more expensive, and the Governor's Mansion has become more and more difficult to support!"

The increase in Celtic contradictions is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous for the royal government, and a small tax loss is nothing, but it is also necessary to be careful not to appear any eloquent figures.

Once, the Jin people treated the steppe in this way, and then Genghis Khan rose up.

"The Governor's Mansion must intervene at any time, don't let this vendetta expand, and maintain it to a certain range!"

Edward's head recalled various examples of Chinese history, and he couldn't help but warn softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" John. Perrott's face straightened, and he agreed in a deep voice.

"What the hell is it that has bothered our Governor His Excellency to make so many turns, now I can say it!"

"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches!"

The governors of Europe have always had great powers, often called vice-kings, who oversaw political, military, and judicial powers.

So, see John. Perrott squirmed, and Edward asked with some amusement.

To the point where John. Perrott could only take a deep breath, and a deep voice sounded:

"Your Majesty, since the development of Ireland, the reason why Ireland is in such a situation today is basically because of the development of immigrants."

"But now, many nobles covet the pastures and land here, forcibly buy and sell, and plunder the land of some immigrants!"

"It's nothing, after all, Ireland has few people, and if it is lost, it will be opened up again, and for the Governor's Palace, there is no loss!"

"And now, many nobles and big businessmen conceal the amount and evade taxes, and the Governor's Palace, no matter how many people there are, cannot compete with the vast Irish grasslands, so the economy of Ireland is developing rapidly, but the taxes of the Governor's Palace have not increased much!"

Once Ireland was developed, there were so many nobles who came to eat meat, and at low prices, from the hard-working settlers, harvested the ripe land and pastures, and established manors and large pastures.

And the immigrants are also willing to sell the land they have developed to pay off their debts and improve their lives, after all, Ireland, there is land, as long as they want to open up.

For example, the royal family owns millions of acres of land in Ireland, hundreds of large and small pastures, and countless estates, and the specific area is impossible to calculate.

Anyway, Edward knew that the royal family's annual grain profits from the Irish estates had reached 50,000 pounds, and other wool, cattle and sheep were even more difficult to estimate.

With such a huge profit, if you pay taxes honestly, the loss is heart-wrenching.

Besides, Ireland is remote, too far from the political center of London, the aristocracy is a little unscrupulous, even the royal family has taken the lead, will other nobles consciously abide by it?

"Your Majesty, the tax revenue leaked every year has reached at least 100,000 pounds, which is a great loss for the Governor's Mansion and the United Kingdom!"

"It's got to this point?" Edward feigned surprise.

In fact, in his estimates, there are more real tax evasions.

After all, the annual output of the ranch manor, as soon as the gate is closed, is reported by itself, and how many of them are accurate is unknown.

However, this kind of behavior of digging flesh from himself was something that Edward did not want to do, and he also offended the nobles.

The affairs of the government have little to do with the royal family, and it is not the royal family that is poor anyway.

Seeing the silence of His Majesty the King, John. Perrot was a little nervous, he knew that he was reluctant to have children, he couldn't trap the wolf, and His Majesty the King would not take it lightly for things that had no interests.

He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and then said in a tone that was not light:

"Your Majesty, the people of Ireland, in gratitude for Your Majesty's grace, intend to pay half of the customs duties as a sign of allegiance to the Crown!"

"Is that true?" Edward could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart, and his voice suddenly became louder.

Half the tariff, which is much higher than the income of those estates, and it is very stable.

Edward actually wanted to pocket Ireland's tariffs after having the sweetness of England's tariffs, but he was hesitant to take Ireland's revolt.

Of course, it is possible to take it by force, but it is the immigrant class that rules Ireland by the meritorious class of immigrants who have worked hard to pioneer. It is also bad for the United Kingdom and the royal family to provoke their discontent.

Now I can get half of it without much effort, which is pretty good.

As for what nobles, in the face of interests, get out of the way!
