Needless to say, it is naturally a nonsensical meal and sea drink, and Wang Yong's subordinates will never spare their hands for things that do not cost money, and they will eat the sea to death.

Especially Niu Da, the food placed in front of him will definitely not take more than two minutes, and those who came to serve him lined up to serve him, and Niu Da ate dozens of bowls of stew alone, and Aaron was extremely painful to see.

And Sledgehammer eats very little, only cares about competing with red wine, and one person drinks more than a dozen pots and is stunned not to go to the toilet, which makes those people speechless.

The others also exerted twelve points of strength, and did not stop until they had eaten their feet. In short, after a meal, everyone except Aaron ate to their heart's content.

After the meal, everyone walked around the living room digesting the food in their stomachs, looking the same as the prisoners in the prison who came out to let the wind out.

After waiting for another half an hour, the guard came and reported that all the stewards had arrived and were waiting outside.

After a meal, Aaron and Wang Yong and others also got acquainted with each other, and greeted Wang Yong and others to pick people outside with a smile. When everyone came out of the living room with a full burp, they were a little dumbfounded when they saw a large group of people standing outside.

Wang Yong roughly counted, there were about three hundred people, Wang Yong thought in surprise: "There are only so many people in charge of a city, how many ordinary soldiers do you have?"

Aaron said to Wang Yong, who was in a daze, "Count Ivan, you can pick someone now." ”

Wang Yong was thinking about the past, but he remembered that he knew how to select talents, so he turned his head to look at the others. And everyone else looked at each other, looking powerless. Wang Yong was so depressed that he had no choice but to walk into the neatly arranged crowd and carefully look at everyone.

Wang Yong walked slowly in the crowd, while pretending to look at them, thinking back to the situation when he applied for the job before.

Wang Yong found that no matter where he went, the people nearby nodded their heads and tried their best to please, so they almost knelt down and licked their boots.

Wang Yong despised this kind of person very much in his heart. I thought to myself: "Such a grovelling and inflammatory. Even if you really have the ability, you don't need to. ”

When Wang Yong finished walking the first row, he found a young man with a fair face and a bookish face at the end of the row, looking at him with disdain and anger.

Wang Yong suddenly remembered that in the TV he had watched before, someone once said that capable people would not deliberately please others. (Well, that's probably what it means.) ）

Wang Yong pointed directly at the young man and said, "What is your name?"

The young man replied, "My name is Kennedy Rodriguez." He was in charge of the accounting registration of the city of West Asia. ”

Wang Yong nodded and said, "You come with me." ”

Kennedy thought that Wang Yong was ready to take revenge when he saw his disrespectful attitude, so he snorted and strode with Wang Yong to the living room, looking like he was at home.

Wang Yong walked to the door of the living room and said to Aaron, "Borrow the living room for use." ”

Aaron glanced at Kennedy. pouted, and then said to Wang Yong with a smile: "Count Ivan, please." ”

Wang Yong turned his head and said, "Shirley, Regan, Kevin, Butler Howl, you also come." ”

A group of six people entered the living room, Wang Yong and the five of them found a place to sit down, Kennedy stood in the middle of the living room angrily and looked straight ahead, ignoring Wang Yong and the others.

Seeing this, Wang Yong smiled and said, "You find a place to sit by yourself, you are standing there stupidly to block the sun." Kennedy glanced at Wang Yong and walked over to them and sat down. Neither do you open your mouth. Tilting his head to look out the door.

Wang Yong was not angry, turned to Shirley and said, "His name is Kennedy." If you have any questions, just ask. ”

Shirley thought for a moment and said, "Kennedy, I want to ask you, how should a territory be taxed?"

Kennedy saw that Wang Yong did not embarrass himself, but a beautiful lady asked him questions, and looked at Shirley in some surprise and asked, "Miss, can I know why you are asking me this?

Shirley looked at Wang Yong in wonder, Wang Yong smiled and said, "You are so small in my heart, forget it, let's tell you first, so as to save you more worry." Our territory has just started to develop, but we don't have people who are familiar with government affairs, so I came here to find the right people. I think you'd be a good candidate, so I'm asking you to ask. Kennedy listened to Wang Yong's explanation, and then looked at the expressions of other people as a matter of course, and then realized that he had misunderstood Wang Yong just now.

Kennedy scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, sir, for solving my doubts, and thank you for your attention, I will know everything." ”

Then, Kennedy said to Shirley: "Taxes vary from place to place, can this lady be more specific?" ”

Shirley looked at Wang Yong, and when she saw Wang Yong nodding, Shirley said: "We are from the Seaside Province, and now we have just pacified the bandits there, and we have not officially started to develop, but after a while, the empire will have more than 200,000 refugees arrive in the Seaside Province, and we don't know how to collect taxes and develop industry, commerce, agriculture, and animal husbandry." ”

Kennedy thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of it, and if that's the case, my opinion is that the tax should be low at the beginning, and even tax-free for a period of time, and then start collecting taxes when the refugees settle down and have a certain amount of economic income, but the tax rate should not be too high, otherwise it will easily cause a large number of people to lose." As for the normal tax rate, it still depends on the main development direction of the territory. ”

Wang Yong listened very carefully, and when Kennedy asked about the direction of development, Wang Yong said: "If you want to develop business, but other industries such as agriculture, industry, and animal husbandry are also compatible, how much tax should be charged?"

Kennedy pondered for a long time and said: "If this is the case, I personally feel that the agricultural tax should be linked to the needs of the population, and only the grain should be collected, so that the territory can be self-sufficient and not dependent on others, and to meet this condition, the lord can be based on a surplus of three tiers per year." If the arable land is too small to meet this condition, the lord can encourage the reclamation of land, reduce the tax rate by a certain amount, and can also compensate the agricultural tenants in other policies, animal husbandry"

Kennedy was very eloquent, and what he said was his forte, so he got into the role completely, and said a lot of his own opinions and suggestions.

Just when Wang Yong and others were able to hear it, Kennedy concluded: "In short, for business, the tax rate on luxury goods should be controlled at about four levels of profits, and the general merchant tax rate should be between two and three levels, and the most important thing is to protect the local economy and industries, reduce their tax rates, encourage more people to do business, and sell the products of the territory to farther places." ”

Shirley listened very carefully, nodding her head and quickly taking notes, what Kennedy said, Shirley had already filled several pieces of paper.

Wang Yong frowned and asked, "The tax is so high, and there aren't many people left, right?"

Kennedy shrugged and said, "I'm talking about the lowest tax rate, and if the lord doesn't care about these incomes, he can reduce them appropriately, but he must not go uncollected, which will cause chaos in the market." ”

Kevin raised his own question and said, "What you just said are all shops, how do those market stalls and small businesses collect taxes?"

Kennedy replied: "There is a daily tax in the bazaar, and there is generally no tax rate, just some administrative fees and the cost of maintaining the grounds." Of course, it is also necessary to treat the goods differently according to the value of the goods sold by the merchant. ”

Wang Yong nodded with satisfaction and looked at the others, seeing that Reagan and the others also nodded together, Wang Yong thought depressedly: "None of us people understand, even if we are deceived by this Kennedy, we don't know." But listening to what he said seems to make a lot of sense, there should be real materials. ”

Wang Yong changed his words and asked thoughtlessly, "Who else is in your family?"

Kennedy was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "I'm an orphan, and I'm the only one." ”

After speaking, he realized the intention of Wang Yong's question, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "What I said just now is just a personal opinion, and it has not been verified by reality, if the adults think it is feasible, I am willing to go to the seaside province to help the adults." ”

Wang Yong asked in surprise: "I haven't invited you to take the initiative yet, why do you want to go to the seaside province so much?"

Kennedy replied with a sad face: "Because all the stewards here are in a faction, I have not developed while I have stayed here." And the seaside province is now the time to employ people, and I don't want to say that I am for the benefit of the people and other, I just want to go there and show my strengths. ”

Wang Yong smiled and said: "You speak very directly and practically, I decided to give you a chance to show your strength, you are first responsible for the planning of territorial taxation and business, and it is under the direct leadership of Shirley." ”

Seeing Kennedy's happy face, Wang Yong continued: "However, let's talk ugly in the front, you can't win your position, you can't eat your job if you don't have a job, if you can't be competent and competent, your future achievements may not be as high as staying here, I am telling you this now, just to let you have a psychological preparation in advance." ”

Kennedy hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't give up this opportunity, but the position that the lord said is not low, I don't know if the lord can call the shots, otherwise I will leave here and go to the Seaside Province, if the lord of the Seaside Province does not agree with my opinion, I will not have anything to eat in the future." ”

When Wang Yong and the others heard Kennedy's concerns, they all burst out laughing, which made Kennedy baffled for a while.

Shirley glared at the others and said softly, "Officially introduce myself, my name is Shirley Martinez, and I am the treasurer of the Seaside Province, you can call me Director Shirley." Then he pointed to Wang Yong and said, "He is Ivan, the lord of the seaside province." ”

When Kennedy heard this, he hurriedly saluted Wang Yong, and said in a still humble and unpretentious manner: "I have seen the lord." Wang Yong accepted Kennedy's salute safely. (To be continued.) )
