As long as these points are done, Solomon will be sure to solve the immediate problem for the royal family and Regina.

Derek has been impressed by Solomon's previous construction, if it is to be implemented, it will just need enough Mithril coins to trade with the Wizards' Guild, and it just so happens that they can act as the buyers of the bonds, help the royal family pay this loan, and then buy this batch of bonds with the proceeds of the royal family's Mithril mine as collateral, and the bonds will pay interest, also in Mithril coinage, so that the IOU that originally put the royal family in an embarrassing situation is converted into a popular bond.

Bonds, on the other hand, are tradable and bearer, which means that they can be traded at any time within the merchant, and even directly on the exchange as a new type of commodity, so that buyers do not have to worry about not being able to get rid of them in the future.

Moreover, if Derek and the others really decide to make a deal with the Wizards' Guild in a short period of time, as Solomon hoped, and need to pay a certain amount of Mithril coins to the mages in advance to initiate further research on the teleportation magic circle, then they can also use this batch of bonds as collateral to Franklin Bank to borrow again, and specify to borrow Mithril coins to reach the deal.

"Wonderful. Philip clapped his palms and applauded Solomon's watch.

Reginer couldn't help but express his approval, such a "small" trouble was solved by Solomon, avoiding a scandal in the royal family, and also solving the problems that he, the chancellor of the exchequer, encountered as soon as he took office.

The three goldsmiths finally breathed a sigh of relief, according to Solomon's IOU to bond plan, as long as they could talk about the merchants of the commodity exchange, then there was really a possibility of a solution.

"Sir Reginal, this is a very clever idea, but please get in touch with the merchants at once, or you will be too late. The goldsmiths said urgently.

Regina set his eyes on Solomon, "I will entrust this matter to you, you can go and talk to Derek and them on my behalf on this matter, tell them, what the merchants want, I will personally go and report to His Majesty, with the guarantee of my Regina's reputation, I will persuade His Majesty." ”

"Well, that Mr. Derek has given me an invitation, and I'll be visiting the commodity exchange tomorrow. Solomon agreed after a little thought, anyway, he was going to visit Derek and them, he was not worried that Derek would refuse, and if he really refused, he did not have a backup plan, that is, the Franklin Bank himself would eat the bonds, but if that was the case, the royal family would have to agree to one more condition, withdraw the garrison on the Mithril mine, and the Free City would agree to pay the loan of up to 1.5 million silver coins for the royal family.

After sending off the goldsmith, Regina smiled lightly, and only he, Solomon, Philip, and Burrengalia were left.

"Alright, tell me about your unspoken ideas, and if it's appropriate, I'll try to mention them to Your Majesty. ”

By this time, Regina had not hesitated to appreciate Solomon, and he had already made up his mind to recruit this man for Edward.

"Actually, I've already had a lot of thoughts just now in the salon and in the goldsmith just now, what do you and your majesty want to know?" said Solomon.

"Don't sell it, come on, income, of course, is a way to increase the income of the royal family!" Philip couldn't help but growl.

"Not bad, income. Regina also asked bluntly.

"There is a long-term solution and a short-term solution, which one do your Majesty and Sir want to know?" asked Solomon, who asked meaningfully, for he wanted to at least take a look at Reginal's attitude.

Regina thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about the long-term first, I know your worries, you are worried that Your Majesty and I just want to make a fortune in the short term, and lack long-term considerations." If I'm not mistaken, you've already told me part of it on the way to St. Quentin about the long-term way to increase your income, right?"

"Yes, I've already told you something. Solomon admitted.

At the time of the meeting, Philip and Burrengalia, although they were together, were not present, so they did not know, so Solomon had to say it again.

"We understand this, but how to implement it effectively?" Philip frowned, "The lords of various places will not cooperate out of their own interests, even if it were us, if it were not for the royal faction, we would also resist." ”

Burlun Gallia also waited for Solomon to say, just like Philip said, Solomon's words, the nobles of the royal party will not object, because if the implementation continues, most of the power and status generated by these needs will fall into their hands, so even if they lose some benefits, it is acceptable to pay taxes, and as long as these powers fall into their hands, then in the specific implementation, of course, they will also enjoy the convenience brought by power, be lenient with themselves, and be strict with others to reduce losses.

"Merchant. Solomon spoke of the object.

"Shift the object of taxation from a poll tax or a special shield tax, such as tithes, to a collection in connection with merchants and trade. ”

"The merchants are very cunning, as you can see from that Derek, it is okay to make them pay a little money in exchange for peace, but it is not easy to tax them for a long time, they are good at calculations, and they will also use it to resist taxation, how can you make them pay their taxes willingly?" Philip said puzzled.

"I have a way to get them to pay their taxes willingly, and this solution is very simple, and you have seen it in Derek, which is to exchange the benefits they want to get in exchange for their taxes. ”

This time, without waiting for Philip to ask, Regina was already eagerly saying, "Say, what can you do?"

"What the merchants need is business opportunities, and the most fearful thing for the merchants is that all the money they have earned will be taken away, so they prefer to donate some to His Majesty in exchange for peace and accept His Majesty's protection. The reason why Majesty could not turn this donation into a formal tax was because it did not provide long-term and stable protection. Therefore, if His Majesty can provide them with long-term and stable protection, or even provide them with more convenient exhibition and commercial opportunities on the basis of such asylum, then they may not refuse to charge him a reasonable tax."

"You mean to treat the merchants like chickens that lay eggs for a long time. Philip understood what Solomon meant.

"Let's be specific. "Regina wants to hear it in its entirety.

"Actually, I've really already thought quite a bit of it in the previous salons and goldsmiths. For example, if His Majesty is willing to make this a long-term and stable national policy and the interests of the merchants are stabilized, he can naturally put forward the concept of collecting taxes, which is an extension of His Majesty's right of asylum, and His Majesty protects them and guarantees the safety of their personal and goods between the territories, is there no cost?"

"There is also a fee for transporting those merchants and their goods. Regina drew inferences and thought of the question in an instant.

"That's the cost of the transmission itself, but in the long run, it has to make the merchants feel stable, feel that they are exchanging some kind of benefits with them, so that they will not resist and become a fixed tax. His Majesty had to make some gestures to raise the status of the merchants in order to gain their trust, to convince them that they had been given some power after paying their taxes, and that they could protect their interests in a certain way. ”

"What's the solution?" said Philip, suspiciously.

"Enlarge the Council of the Nobles to include merchants who were willing to pay taxes. Solomon said.

Philip and Regina were stunned again, but then reacted, frowning and pondering the pros and cons.

For the merchants, after paying the tax, they have to be given a place to play, so that they think they have the opportunity to make their own voice, the noble council is undoubtedly the most suitable place, because that place is the main place for the royal family and the nobles to discuss taxation, but the royal family is only willing to talk about tax increases, and the nobles only like to mention tax reductions, but also hope to fight for more power from the royal family on it, such as entering the list of the Privy Council around Edward, or similar to the position of so-and-so minister, so-and-so king** The position of the regimental commander or deputy commander.

The addition of the merchants, just one more object of trouble, seems to be no loss to the royal family, but it can definitely divide the hearts of the great nobles, and let the nobles quarrel with another voice, although this voice is still very weak, but it is no worse than only two voices quarreling.

And for the merchants, this superficially seemed to give them a certain power to fulfill their wishes.

Of course, Solomon's methods did not stop there, and it was not enough to actually collect as many taxes as possible from the merchants.

On the one hand, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the rationality of tax collection, and the royal family should find ways to provide some services for merchants, so that tax collection will be more reasonable, for example, on the grounds that plane trade must have certain qualifications, the system of merchant registration can be implemented, and the establishment of the Solomon Company can be imitated, and merchants can be allowed to establish groups in the name of companies as sole proprietorships or joint ventures, and register with the corresponding institutions established by the royal family.

Only merchants with such qualifications were allowed to trade in the Eugudelar Equal Plane, and the concept of tariffs could be extended to the past, if goods obtained in Eugullar were intended to be shipped back to Asturias for trade, they should pay customs duties, and if they did not pay the guanrui, the merchants were only qualified to trade in the Eugoudral or Farusion planes.

At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the effective control of businessmen, so at the same time as giving rights and interests, the registration agency must register the details of the company's owners, and businessmen will not be able to hide casually.

At the same time, when transporting merchants and goods, the royal family should pay a certain cost, and take the initiative to provide merchants with special tools for loading goods, especially the magic boxes required for bulk goods.

When the plane is teleported, the army also needs to take away the materials, the magician knows the shrinkage bag and the sealing box, the shrinkage bag is only the size of the palm, the big one is the size of the pocket, and according to the different volume multiples of the shrinkage placed in it, it can be divided into a variety of types, the least is eight times, the most is as high as sixty-four times, and the big one will use the sealing box.

The Demon Sealing Box is also based on the theory of space magic and the achievements of alchemy, but the shrinkage volume of the items that can be accommodated is larger, and the Demon Sealing Box usually has seven or eight cubic sizes, but the actual volume is calculated by eight to sixty-four times, which is equivalent to sixty-four cubic to five hundred cubic meters.

In doing so, on the surface, it seems that the royal family has suffered a loss and paid the cost in advance, but only in this way can we truly grasp the quantity of goods brought by the merchants each time, so as to ensure tax revenue.

According to Solomon's original idea, even if Derek was worried that it would be too expensive for the merchants to invest in advance to contact the Wizards' Guild to study the restrictions on ordinary people from teleporting magic arrays, the royal family could even fund it on his behalf, because the other half of the income from the Mithril Mine belonged to His Majesty Edward, and in the long run, this would still be beneficial to the royal family, and only when a virtuous circle was formed, would the merchants accept paying taxes as a long-term and taken for granted, rather than just a one-time war tax, but in their hearts they would be extorted for protection money, although the difference in essence was not big, but it was a long-term and short-term, with and without rules。

When these have had an effect, Solomon also built a place in Asturias, and it was also possible to cancel the checkpoints on the current Great 6 Highway as much as possible.

Now there are too many levels, and each lord theoretically has a power set, Yan zhòng affects the exhibition of commercial trade.

The royal power reached directly into the lords' territory to collect taxes, and the resistance was too strict, but what if it was the other way around?

Instead of going to the lords' territories to collect taxes, the royal family reversely demanded that all lords should not set up checkpoints on the Great 6 Highway.

PS: Thank you, fat boy.
