Chapter 1006: The Empire Above All Else
Promote the progress of governing the country according to the law, raise the awareness of governing the country according to the law, and make it clear that the foundation of governing the country according to the law is an important criterion for reflecting the degree of civilization of a country.
Only in the period of barbarism will some people shout such ignorant arguments as "I am the law", and the more developed the civilization, the more they understand the importance and necessity of governing the country according to law.
A long, long time ago, the collection of taxes was a clear law that existed in the form of a written code, but in the past, the nobility and aristocrats in the feudal society had the ability and foundation to resist the centralized rule, and tax resistance became a very common thing. Moreover, in the feudal society of the old era, the royal family canonized the territory to the nobility, and the nobility exercised all the power in this land, as if forming a small kingdom.
But in the new society, in the new era, everything is different, and it should be different.
The Reich General Tax Administration has always wanted to achieve further results on the issue of taxation, and the Reich General Tax Administration has done well on the territory of the new party, but it has a little trouble on the territory of the old party. These aristocrats, who have always been accustomed to resisting taxes, do not play the game of paying taxes honestly with the Imperial Tax Bureau, intercepting taxes and assassinating tax officials from time to time, and gradually a vague unspoken rule has been formed-
The new party pays taxes in full, and the old party pays taxes "in a reduced amount".
There is no way to form such a consensus, and the so-called "reduction" is not really a reduction in taxes, but also a strict standard process of collecting taxes, but there are always some names in these places that can provide sufficient excuses for them not to pay taxes.
For example, if there is a disaster in a certain place, the city hall temporarily withdraws some taxes as disaster relief funds, or the city's economic development is slow, many enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy and have no money to pay taxes, and the overall tax completion is low, including making false accounts and many other means.
Today, Doolin intends to break that rule.
"I have a very different understanding from the mainstream group now, that the Empire's General Administration of Taxation should not rely on the ...... under the wing of the cabinet", Durin's brain spun at high speed at this time, and sometimes the political tilt is not necessarily for his own interests, but for the opponent not to get benefits. This kind of starting point of harming others and not benefiting oneself is not news in the political arena.
Maggs listened carefully to Doolin's words and told him to continue.
"I believe that the tax collection of the entire empire by the Imperial Tax Administration is related to the development and construction of the empire, which has gone beyond the jurisdiction of the new party and the old party, and should be given a higher stage for the imperial tax administration, so that this department is no longer subject to the cabinet, whether the new party is in power or the old party is in power, the imperial tax administration should be independent, autonomous, and authoritative. At most, it is subject only to the supervision of the Cabinet, but it is not subject to the control of the Cabinet. ”
Maggs laughed when he heard this, "Then have you ever considered that if one day when you are qualified to sit here, there is a group of disobedient people who may interfere with the policies you have made." ”
He was so optimistic about Durin that he said something on the phone, thinking that Durin might one day sit in his current position, which also made Durin happy, at least Maggs recognized his ability and gave himself a good stage.
Du Lin didn't think much about it, and blurted out the thoughts in his heart directly, "No matter how great the power and status of the prime minister is, he only represents the will of the citizens of the entire empire, and as the power of the will embodied in the individual, he accepts the power given to him by the people to govern the country." The prime minister can have a lot of power and a high status, but he should not be above this empire!"
"The question of taxation is related to the development of the empire as a whole, and from my personal point of view, taxes are more important than the control of the prime minister's power. ”
"The prime minister gets the power given to him by the people, and the prime minister's job is to serve the empire, to serve the people, not for his own benefit. ”
When Dührin said these words righteously, Maggs was having a strange mood swing in his heart, he knew that Dührin was lying, he knew Doolin too well, and he almost watched Dührin go from an inconspicuous acting mayor of Otis who followed Harry all the way to the point where he was about to become governor. I also watched this young man dance in the empire and internationally.
What he said was awe-inspiring, but it was all fart, this little bastard's selfishness was heavier than anyone else's, and of course it can be said that he did have a certain level of dedication and justice.
Durin is not a good thing, but that doesn't mean that what he said is not a good thing, on the contrary, Maggs thinks that this thing is too good, so good that it resonates with him, and the only flaw is that the person who said these words is obviously not a person who can do this, and he is also a bastard, a villain.
Maggs's silence didn't last long, he thought about it and asked, "But now to make changes to the Imperial Tax Administration and some of the situation will affect the interests of a large number of people, and they may become crazy, and this may not be the most appropriate time." ”
"No, you're wrong, Uncle Maggs. "I think now is the right time to do it, we all know that you are the vanguard of a new era, you are the one who has changed this empire, changed the rotten rule of the past, and brought us light." Everybody says you're the soul of the overall reform, so isn't it what you should do if you, the pioneer of reform, continue to implement the idea of change?"
"And as you said before, you're going to be back down soon, and there's no better time than now. One year is enough time for us to destroy a lot of things and rebuild buildings on them that are more in line with the times. ”
Durin didn't really make much sense of what he said, but Maggs understood, and now that he did it, it would indeed cause a lot of noise, but he was going to retreat.
In his own eyes, in the eyes of Durin, in the eyes of some people who know the truth, he used voluntary retirement to completely kill lifelong officials, but in the eyes of those who don't know, he will become a "loser", and he will be overturned by those who have accumulated strength for almost 30 years in the new election. This is undoubtedly a great victory for all those whose interests have been harmed during the Mags administration, and the resentment they have accumulated will also dissipate with Mags's "defeat", because they have succeeded in revenge, and Mags's failure to re-elect is the result of revenge.
They defeated Magus!
This also includes those who have been hurt by the tax reform. There is no way for them to continue to attack Magus, or even to make any rude gestures towards Magus because of this, otherwise they will break the most terrible rules in this empire, and they will be doomed.
"Looks like you thought about how to convince me before you called, does that mean that there is no Otis City matter, and you will find a time to talk about these things?", Maggs laughed briskly, he liked the idea that Durin had proposed, "My line is confidential, let's say something privately, how are you going to do this if there is nothing going on in Otis City?"
Du Lin also echoed the laughter, and then glanced at the western sky, "I will let people know that paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen of the empire, I can't control too many people, but on my territory, everything must listen to me!"
That night, some of the shareholders of the Seven Casinos gathered, and Webster's sudden announcement that he was going to investigate the behavior of the Seven Casinos was not his style at all, and everyone thought that there must be someone else behind Webster's command to do so.
"I never saw that Webber was so bold, that he was willing to offend all of us at the same time, who do you think was standing behind him?", someone asked, and the room suddenly fell silent.
There are no people in Otis who can make Webster do such a reckless act, and there are a few people in other places, such as the person everyone wants to talk about the least, Durin.
"It's not a good thing that the damn bitch has already drawn Durin's attention after jumping off the building...... Maybe we need to think about speeding up the process of our plan. ”
At this time, someone put forward another idea, "Maybe we have another solution, catch those who have caught Dorin's eye, throw them out, and let them calm Durin's anger, which will not cause any loss to us, but will be more beneficial." Without these people, our equity integration will be smoother. ”
But there are also people who have a different opinion on this, "So have you considered that after these people are handed over, it is possible that they will tell Durin what we are planning in exchange for their chance to live?"
The man thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, Dürin's status is different now than it used to be, if it were just one or two people who did something wrong, he might do that, I mean get rid of these people." But when we hand over dozens or hundreds of people with a certain influence and social status, he cannot and dare not cause such a large-scale killing, which is contrary to his interests at this stage. ”
"We all know that he's running for governor, and no one likes that their governor is an executioner!"
"They're not going to get killed, they're probably just losing some benefits, like being stripped of their shares. But before that, we can negotiate with them to compensate them for what they have lost when our plan is completed. ”
The room became quiet, and everyone's eyes frantically conveyed some secret information to each other, and after a few minutes of exchanging words, they made a decision.
"Then let's try to convince some of them to come forward!"
