Lyubov closed the porthole, turned around and sat down, his eyes swept over the parliamentarians with different expressions: "The sovereignty of Koras Island has been determined, and now the second topic, regarding the tariff on entry and exit from the strait, I have discussed it with Roland, and worked out two plans, the first plan is that the customs clearance of other states will maintain the current tax rate unchanged, and the blood shed by our Baiou Port for the war cannot be shed in vain, and we can enjoy the privilege of halving the tariff; The second option was to change the Bend League into a federation, the League Parliament into a federal parliament, the unification of laws, taxes, military and diplomatic affairs among the city-states, the halving of customs duties on the entry and exit of ships belonging to the Federation, and the most favourable treatment for the commercial activities carried out by the business enterprises registered on the island of Koras throughout the Federation, as for those city-states that refused to join the Federation...... You go to Roland to negotiate a tariff deal yourself, and I won't worry about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The parliamentarians looked at each other and wanted to cry without tears. Talk to Roland yourself? No need to ask, people must not talk about it......

Speaking of which, Lyubov's ambitions are already clear at a glance. This woman wanted to centralize power, to take the power that originally belonged to the ruling families of the states to the so-called "federal parliament", and to establish a central government with real dominance. Of course, this will harm the interests of the ruling families of the states today, but there will only be more supporters than opponents, and a federation with more centralized power is obviously more conducive to the circulation of people, capital and goods than a loose confederation divided by princes, and it is more conducive to breaking down regional barriers, and focusing on the formulation of regulations and industrial policies from the perspective of the entire federation, but these benefits are relatively abstract, and the citizen class, as the main body of the city-state, cannot see the tangible benefits, and does not have the courage and motivation to confront the conservative forces for the establishment of a federation. The old order continues to this day.

However, the situation has changed now. With Roland's full support, Lyubov threw out the sweet bait of tariff relief, so that ordinary citizens could also see the benefits of a federal government - the livelihood of the vast majority of families in the coastal states was closely related to the sea, whether it was ocean fishing or shipping, they had to cross the strait frequently, and they had to pay taxes to cross the border, so who wouldn't want to pay less tolls?

Nothing moves the heart more directly than profit, and it is often not morality or law that makes a person successfully resist temptation, but another, stronger temptation. It is conceivable that once Lyubov's bill is made public, the burghers will inevitably enthusiastically support the second plan, and then Lyubov will not need to act at all, and the citizens of the states will revolt and oust the stubborn and old-fashioned families.

Through this bill, Lyubov will gain almost the power of the queen and become the real ruler of the states along the North Gulf, and Roland will not sacrifice in vain, giving up a part of the tariffs in exchange for the most favored treatment of Kolas Island among the North Sea states, which does not seem to be a good deal at first glance, after all, Koras Island was originally a pirate den, the natural resources are very poor, there are not a few large enterprises in the climate, and it is not a big problem for small shops to make a living on the island, but if you go to other city-states to develop......

"It's like a bandit going down the mountain to fight an elite knight, and people will win you when they get off the horse, and exchange the tariff of real money for a so-called 'most favored treatment', what's the point?" When he first learned of Roland's plans, Lyubov also didn't understand.

"I don't expect those turtle snakes on the island to open branches in various states, but since I have a feng shui treasure here, the strong dragons of each state will swim over by themselves." Roland replied with a smile.

The geographical location of Kolas Island is really good, but the natural environment on the island is also really bad: a bare desert island has no grass, it has been ravaged by typhoons and tsunamis in three days, and the most terrible thing is the lack of fresh water.

The royal road of the real economy will not work, and in addition to blocking the road and setting up cards to collect tariffs, we can only take the evil road of financial innovation. In fact, Roland's quest for the most favored treatment in the Commonwealth for Kolas Island is not intended for local enterprises on the island at all, but is just a sweet bait to attract industrial and commercial enterprises in various states, and any industrial and commercial entity registered on the island can get the most favored treatment, as for whether it is really a factory and a store on the island or just a "shell company" in name, he does not care, as long as the other party pays taxes on time and in full.

What the hell is this?

Isn't this the legendary "tax haven"!

That's right, Roland wants to make "Kolas Island", a ghost place where birds don't, into a financial center and tax haven in the North Bay.

Seeing that the congressmen pinched their noses and were forced to sign the bill, like a flock of old sheep about to be sheared, a certain unscrupulous island owner couldn't help but snicker.

For the next few days, Roland was busy with all kinds of entertainment, and it was too much trouble to usher in the send-off. He is now a lord or a lord, a dignified prince, how many people have rushed to scold him, especially the turtle and the snakes on Kolas Island, who learned that there was a new boss, one more positive than the other, and almost flattened the threshold of the hotel where Roland stayed, such as the owner of a hotel on the island, a casino manager, a brothel bustard - come on, and bring a group of girls with flowers, elves, half-elves, sea elves, sea fairies, and all kinds of races, saying that they want to help the lord tutor foreign languages...... This makes people see how bad the impact is!

Roland is really tired enough, but it's not good to close the door to thank guests, otherwise don't blame others for crooked mouths, saying that a certain island owner is inflated and can't look down on poor friends......

The owner of the island was a little inflated, and took Helena to make him the "Grand Governor of Kolas Island", entertaining those who were in the heat of the world, and he himself was busy sneaking out to meet his friends who were really close to him.

Roland's first stop was the "Eagle Island", which was in a similar situation to Kolas Island and was also outside the Bend federal system, and was warmly welcomed by the Edric family. After the luncheon, Roland, accompanied by Sir Edric, visited the island's famous "Eagle Tower" and talked about the future cooperation between Kolas Island and Eagle Island.

Roland first talked about the experience of meeting Valentina in the Star Boundary, and briefly talked about what he had seen and heard in the metal dragon country "North Wind Tianyu", and did not mention his lover relationship with Sister Golden Dragon.

Sir Edric had already learned from his teacher that Roland was a guest of honor in the Metal Dragon Federation, and he had also received clear instructions from his teacher that the "Harvest Ring" must do everything possible to establish a good relationship with Roland. So when Roland asked his family to train the Giant Eagle for the Korath Legion, Sir Edric immediately agreed and proposed a more realistic plan.
