Warlock Royal Family

() "What? Adjust the export tax on all alcoholic products in Austria to one percent?" Although Machiavelli supports Harna, but now the establishment of the Zhongyang Bank has made him lose a lot of power, and now he It is really important to see the rapidly expanding source of income of the brewing industry. "It would be better to get rid of all wine export taxes, and save having to send tax collectors to check their books."

"Then cancel it, I also think it's better to cancel it completely." Ladislaus "supported" His Excellency the Treasurer solemnly.

"No, no, no, Your Excellency, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that taxation is costly, and one percent is too low. I understand your desire to develop this advantageous industry, but if If a product cannot bring in tax revenue, what use is its development and prosperity to the country?" In fact, Machiavelli did not really believe that Ladislaus was a public mind, and he more or less doubted that his monarch was for the development of his own name. industry, so the door of convenience is wide open.

It's just that this idea cannot be expressed.

Although Machiavelli can understand the value of an advantageous industry, it is true that there is no such thing as trade subsidies in this era, and it is unimaginable that countries that do business do not collect taxes.

"Your Excellency Machiavelli, after destroying similar industries in the upper and lower reaches of the Danube, can we raise the tax a little bit more? In fact, if the economy does not allow it, I even want to give export tax rebates to all winemaking workshops. They are also returned to the manufacturers." Ladislaus actually did not have such an idea, it was just a means of persuading Machiavelli.

"Please think twice. Brewing has always been heavily taxed."

"If you want to enter domestic consumption, then the tax rate of 30.00% will remain unchanged, and the tax will be reduced only for exports. In this way, I do understand your difficulties, so just charge [-]%." Ladis Rolls showed signs of giving in.

After a lot of hard work, Ladislaus finally gave in to 5.00%, which finally made His Excellency the Treasurer Machiavelli feel that he could still speak in front of the monarch. "Of course, I just want to exempt the export tax. Not only the domestic sales tax is not exempted, but also the value-added tax of every link in the purchase of raw materials in the early stage must be paid."

"Internal. I still have a plan. All retailers who sell alcoholic beverages must go through qualification confirmation, and only if they have enough moral responsibility can they get a license to operate alcoholic beverages." Ladislaus also needs to introduce thresholds, those restaurants He restaurants make huge profits on drinks, and they must be made to spit out a little. "It will also start next year, starting from Vienna, and you will be in charge of the auction of liquor monopoly licenses."

This can be regarded as returning some real power to Machiavelli.

"Alcohol allows us humans to return to the nature of beasts." Machiavelli certainly understood Ladislaus' intention to stimulate the exit, "Although the Xingyue Demon is extremely evil, but in the "Green Scripture" It’s not without its merits. Just from the fact that it requires believers not to drink.”

"That's natural. There is no pure black or pure white in the world." Even though the pair of monarchs and ministers are powerful and they are in a completely private room.He unconsciously lowered his voice when referring to the "Green Scripture".

They have absolutely never read that evil scripture. Once they see that kind of cover, they must burn it immediately.

Of course, it is better not to continue talking about this dangerous issue, there is still business to discuss.

It is partly true that Ladislaus had to listen to Machiavelli on another important matter, besides the "whole fivefold gigantic concession" on the amount of tariffs.

"I will lead troops into northern Italy again soon and defend Milan with the Spanish army, so I need you to meet the two electors who believe in His Majesty the Black Hand. They have annexed a large number of religious princes' territories. I need you to discuss how they can change Compensate the Church of Rome and our Habsburg family." Ladislaus paused for a moment before continuing. "Emissaries from Rome and Spain will also come. At present, it is difficult to determine even the location of the negotiation. The Elector of Brandenburg wants to negotiate in Berlin. It is not acceptable, and the King of Poland suggests going to Krakow. , we can’t let Poland get the title of mediator. It is estimated that they will not accept Vienna, and I think it is acceptable to do it in imperial municipalities such as Frankfurt or Nuremberg.”

"I think I have to make one thing clear to you. Although His Majesty the Black Hand has deprived me of my divine grace, I am still his believer. Are you sure you want me to be responsible for negotiating with the two electors?" Machiavelli, although because of He was deprived of his ability as a priest for letting go of Clarice and the Fleshman, but his knowledge of geopolitics made him still a devout follower of Bane.

"I fully believe in your loyalty to me. Besides, this is His Majesty Blackhand's expectation. Let the strong compete freely and let the strongest rule the world. Isn't this the teaching of His Majesty Blackhand?" Ladislaus Expressing his complete trust in Machiavelli, in fact, he sent Machiavelli to negotiate, which also implied his conditions, "A certain tolerance can be shown on religious issues, but the Grand Duchy of Austria must be compensated economically and territorially."

"Except for some internal trivial territories, the Elector of Brandenburg controls the territory of the Archbishop of Magdeburg and the Bishop of Onasbruck, and the Elector of Saxony controls the territory of the Archbishop of Würzburg and the Bishop of Meissen." Machia Viri didn't make a grateful look but started his work directly. "Although the appointment of archbishops in these territories has to go through the Roman Church, they are undoubtedly the status of imperial princes. If His Majesty the Emperor of Madrid can admit their annexation, then they are probably willing to pay a large sum of money, but what are we after? ?”

"We have compensation from the Church of Rome. In the south and west of Austria, there are miniature monasteries that are also de jure du li princes, as we expelled the Elector of Brandenburg and the Elector of Saxony from Onas For the price of Brooke and Würzburg, I believe that the true pope will not mind bringing the sovereignty of these tiny territories under the rule of Austria, and I will also share some of the money His Majesty Ferdinand received." Ladislau Si doesn't want much. Although he also wants territory, he still needs to let Brandenburg and Saxony spit out half of the meat in their mouths. His request will not only damage his own royal prestige, but also leave no room for compromise to His Majesty the Pope, who is truly elected in Rome. He can make concessions but cannot surrender.

With the French army once again pressing down on the border, Ladislaus believed that neither he nor His Majesty Ferdinand wanted to offend the Roman Church. It would be bad if His Majesty Medici and His Majesty Francois directly allyed.
