491 Three major events (II)
All the people in the kingdom.
What does that mean?
As a native of the pirate world, he expressed his bewilderment.
At this time, Karina also began to explain.
"We've just explained what the spirit of nobility is, and we've also said it, so let's talk about how the new noble title will be determined."
"After the formation of the coalition government, a noble recognition body will be formed internally, and each kingdom will have three noble titles per year."
"First of all, there will be nominations within the kingdom, for example, if someone has helped many people during the year, or has made a significant contribution to society and the country, then the person who has been helped by him can apply for a joint nomination to the specialized agency."
"After the deadline, the ten people who have been nominated the most times in the kingdom will move on to the next step of selection, and the next step of selection will be..."
"National Referendum!"
"Before voting begins, the nobility branch established in each kingdom will make the information of the ten nominated candidates and all the things they have done publicly public, so that all citizens can learn more about their deeds."
"And in a month's time, voting will begin."
"In the end, the top three people who receive the votes will enter the review stage, and the headquarters of the lord recognition agency within the coalition government will review it according to the standards of nobility, and once the review is passed, they will be able to obtain the nobility qualification."
"Nobility is for life, but it is not hereditary, and if their descendants want to obtain nobility, they can only rely on themselves and obtain national recognition again."
"At the same time, the nobility of the kingdom will form a round table of seven people to decide the policy of the kingdom, and the choice of the seven will still be decided by national vote."
"If a kingdom has less than seven nobles, it will be replaced by the coalition government until the kingdom has more than seven nobles, and then the executive power will be returned to the kingdom itself."
"Of course, the seven members of the Round Table are not for life, each of them serves for only five years, and the same person can have a maximum of two terms."
"Finally, if someone uses his status to make a profit after receiving the title of nobility, or does something that is inconsistent with the spirit of nobility, then..."
"Anyone can contact the coalition government directly to report it, and then the coalition government will send an investigation team to directly strip the title of nobility once it is verified."
Karina kept talking on stage.
The reporters below were staring wide-eyed.
It is based on the spirit of nobility, and then it is up to the people to decide who can become a nobleman.
In the end, a round table of nobles was formed to decide the next course of the country's governance.
Even during this period, all citizens were able to oversee the Round Table, as well as other people with titles of nobility.
If something violates the spirit of the aristocracy, it can be reported directly to the coalition government.
If true, the title of nobility will be stripped away.
Most importantly, even if they are in the round table, there are only a maximum of two terms of five years each.
Hiss...
How did Sean come up with such a complete management system?
First of all, the spirit of nobility is shaped into the foundation of everything, and in order to obtain aristocratic status, it is necessary to continuously contribute to society, the country, and even the world, and be recognized by all citizens.
And even if you become a nobleman, you can't relax, because...
If you make a mistake, you will immediately be stripped of your noble status.
Therefore, even if a person is inconsistent on the outside, if he wants to keep his status as a nobleman, he can only be inconsistent for a lifetime.
And a lifetime of inconsistency means...
He can only be a good person for the rest of his life!
At this time, who cares if he is bad in his heart?
If you've been a good person all your life, he's a good person, isn't he?
Based on this, Sean once again handed over the administration of each kingdom to these nobles.
And at this time, Sean dug another hole for all those who received the title of nobility.
That's...
Round table!
As a round table to manage the executive power of a kingdom, it undoubtedly has real power.
On the other hand, there is a limit to the number of participants in this round table.
Seven people...
That's right, there are only seven people!
And what about the aristocrats who did not make it to the round table?
Obviously, they only got an honorary title, and they had no real power.
So, what should you do if you want real power?
Work hard, work hard, try hard!
Let more people recognize themselves, and finally participate in the seven-member election of the round table every five years.
In this way, even if they get the status of nobles, those people will continue to work hard in order to become one of the Seven of the Round Table.
No, it's going harder!
And even if you are chosen, become one of the seven members of the Round Table in a certain kingdom, the meeting is not the end.
They also have to work harder during their tenure in order to be re-elected.
To make greater contributions to the people, society, the country, and even the world.
This series of management systems, in addition to ensuring the basic rights of all citizens, also ensures that these people who have become nobles will absolutely abide by the spirit of aristocracy.
It is also ensured...
There will never be another thing where the aristocracy uses their privileges to oppress the commoners.
Even if there is a case, there is a coalition government behind it, and it can be dealt with quickly.
The journalists' scalps were tingling.
This world...
This order...
A seismic change is on the horizon.
------
At this point, the press conference had already lasted two hours.
Rao is her, and she is also talking about dry mouth at the moment.
While everyone was shocked, Karina also hurriedly took a sip of water.
Then, she continued.
After all, three major things, now only two have been said.
"Guys, now let's move on to the third thing, which is..."
"Tax issues!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.
After all, whether it is the governments of the Old World or the kingdoms, taxation is an issue that can never be avoided.
The gold in the sky used to be so overwhelming that everyone couldn't raise their heads.
So, for the aborigines of this world, taxes are the most terrifying thing, and even to a large extent...
It's more terrifying than all the pirates.
Of course, the change in the expressions of the reporters was expected by Karina.
I saw that she was not in a hurry and continued to speak.
"It is well known that under the new order, each kingdom will command the power of law and order, but not the power of the military."
"As for the safety of the kingdom, it is naturally guaranteed by the coalition government, that is, the three armies of the navy, land and air force that we first talked about before."
"I know that the World Government did the same in the past, and then collected Heavenly Gold from the member countries every year to maintain the operation of the World Government and the three armed forces."
"And because the heavenly gold is so terrifying, that the member countries can only raise taxes on their citizens, and the continuous tax increases will eventually overwhelm everyone."
"But what I'm going to say isβ"
"The taxes collected by the coalition government from all kingdoms will be less than half of what was previously heavenly gold."
This...
No way!
Hearing this, even many reporters exclaimed in their hearts.
After all, Karina has already said that the coalition government will form a super army of 1.95 million people.
want
You know, all the departments of the government and the army of the old world combined, there are not even a million people, and they are still far from reaching the scale of one million people.
Only collecting less than 20% of the gold that used to be in the sky, how can such a huge army be maintained?
The reporters were full of disbelief.
Karina, on the other hand, smiled and continued.
"I know you don't believe it, but..."
"Your thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding!"
"Yes, all the departments of the Old World government, plus the three armies, are far from reaching a million people, but..."
"After the heavenly gold is harvested, is it really all used for all departments of the world government and the three armies?"
"No, no!"
"Because most of the funds are in the hands of the various Celestial Dragon Families, according to the information we got from Mary Joy, the funds that are really used for the various departments of the Old World Government and the operation of the three armies have not even reached one percent of the total number in the sky!"
"And now..."
"There are no Draconians in this world anymore!"
"Secondly, after the member countries collected taxes from their citizens, did they really use all of them for heavenly gold?"
"Again, about thirty percent of them went into the hands of those nobles!"
"Therefore, the double extreme exploitation of the nobles and the Celestial Dragons is the main reason why all the commoners are overwhelmed."
"According to our calculations, without the nobles and the Celestial Dragons, each kingdom will be equivalent to about 20% of the taxes of the heavenly gold to the coalition government, then the taxes that each citizen needs to pay should only be about 14-15% of the old days."
"On this basis, each kingdom still has enough money to develop the country."
"At the same time, the coalition government will further reduce taxes on ordinary people and increase taxes on business, especially on shipping!"
Karina continued.
You must know that shipping is the big part of this world.
And the former navy was basically monopolized by the king of shipping.
Although he would pay a tribute to the Draconians every year, he never paid taxes.
And the funds he paid tribute also flowed into the hands of the Tianlong people one hundred percent.
What Sean has to do now is to firmly grasp the sea freight in his hands.
According to Robin's statistics, if the navy pays all taxes as required, then this part of the tax revenue alone every year is enough to feed the entire navy, land and air force. Yes, add the Star Troopers!
As you can imagine, how much Berry is being talked about here.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the vast majority of other people, so most journalists have chosen to ignore the past.
After all, Sean is trying to snatch profit from Umit, the king of the sea, and not do anyone else's business.
Not to mention, at the time of the final battle, Umit, who was on the side of the world government, had already grown grass on his grave.
So, Sean was just reaping his spoils.
As for saying, because Umit hung up, others who wanted a piece of the pie.
It is also acceptable for them to pay taxes.
After all, as long as you take a part of the share, the benefits you can get are huge, and there is no need to compete with the rising Sean in this regard.
It is nothing more than to replace the previous set of tribute to the Tianlong people with the current tax.
The difference is really not much.
To whom is it not handed over?
After saying these three things, Karina, who originally wanted to announce the Q&A session.
But he suddenly stopped.
Seconds later...
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received the reign of Marshal Sean, and I have one more thing to announce before I get into the question session."
"In the previous Great War between the New World Navy and the Old World Government, two people escaped, and the marshal asked the newspapers to publish the following news and send it to the world!"
"The content is..."
"Ask the red-haired Shanks, who escaped earlier, and the leader of the revolutionary army, Dorag, to come to Bernard within ten days to surrender, otherwise..."
"The New World Navy will issue S-Class wanted warrants for the two of them, whether they live or die!"
"I hope these two people see the situation clearly, and don't get obsessed, under this new order, there is no place for you!"
"That's what Marshal Sean meant!"
Hearing this, all the newspaper reporters nodded.
Since it is Sean's meaning, then they must give this bit of face.
Isn't it just to put a message, I believe that the boss of his newspaper has absolutely no opinion.
Speaking of which, it's just like Karina said.
In the future world, there will be no nobles, no Draconians, no underground giants, no pirates, no traffickers, and so on.
Under the new order, there is really no way out for these two people.
Maybe...
Turning themselves in is the best option for them.
After all, there is a huge shortage of people in the coalition government and in all branches of the military.
If you turn yourself in, maybe you can have a chance to join in, otherwise...
Once the S-class wanted warrant is issued, there is really no way to live.
You must know that there are a lot of strong men under Sean who can single-handedly challenge and defeat these two.
And two or three people who join forces and can defeat them, that's even more.
No one thought that once Sean had made up his mind to kill the two of them, the two would have any way to survive.
Unless...
Hide on an uninhabited desert island forever for the rest of your life!
------
Next...
No, it's the day!
The newspapers simply couldn't wait for the next day, for fear that they would be one step slower.
The morning press conference ended.
In the afternoon, the special issues of each newspaper were already being printed, and the world was constantly being discovered.
Of course, in these newspapers, Morgans still has the upper hand.
After all, he has more humans, more printing equipment, and that unique...
News Bird!
Other newspapers usually cover only one area, and they also use boats to transport newspapers.
Even some small newspapers only cover a few islands.
But the World Economic News...
It's covering the whole world!
The main reason why it can be so good is...
News Bird!
Its flight speed is far from being comparable to that of ships, coupled with the extremely large number of ...
It's literal.
At the same time, there is something that others do not yet know.
That is, Morgans, a little clever ghost, relies on his relationship with Sean.
In order to seize the opportunity, he even used 500 million Baileys to lease Bruno for one day.
So, Morgans can rely on Bruno to concentrate on sending batches of newsbirds directly to the world, and then these newsbirds can be dispersed from these places to deliver the newspapers to every island as quickly as possible.
This operation stunned Sean.
I couldn't help but tease Bruno.
What you're capable of...
If you use it to make money, 500 million a day...
That's 182.5 billion Baileys a year!
Or...
From now on, you'll be in charge of making money full-time...
The future of the coalition government depends on you!
