My name is Ren

Chapter 659
The old tyrant is actually very clear that the head of the State Administration of Taxation cannot be one of their subordinates.Don't look at Renn as if he is very rich now, once he takes the throne, the place where he needs to spend money will follow.

The first is the army. The Orlando family has controlled those nobles who are not very obedient in order to have enough deterrence over the years.There are about 8 to [-] Guards First and Second Legions stationed in the imperial capital all the year round. The monthly salary of each soldier, various subsidies, maintenance and wear and tear of war horses and weapons, people eat horse chews Food, and even the cost of their treatment when they were sick, came from the imperial treasury.

In addition, the annual research plan of the Imperial Research Institute also requires a lot of financial support. The gifts used to reward nobles also need to be purchased with money. The inconspicuous accounts accumulated in the end are definitely a number that can make people stare out.

No matter how rich Ryan is, as long as he sits in this position, there will never be enough money in his pocket.

As the tax revenue and imperial merchants that support the royal family's expenses, they have become the most important source of income for the royal family.There is no need to say more about Huangshang. There is always someone from the Industrial and Commercial Party who can handle it for him, but it is not as much money as imagined.Even if you are an imperial merchant, you can't force people to buy your things, right?Even if you force everyone to buy your stuff, they have to be rich.

Therefore, the real financial source of the royal family is taxation.

If you look at the essence of this behavior through taxation, in fact, to put it bluntly, all the Desi and non-Desi people in the entire empire will take out a little for the use of the royal family.Tax collection has always been a headache. If Ren can't hold on to the position of tax chief and holds it firmly in his hand, I'm afraid Ren will kill someone again.

The old tyrant's idea is actually not surprising. The chief executive cannot be obtained, but the deputy chief is still possible.Compared with Vito, he is more inclined to military power. After obtaining the position of Minister of Military Aircraft, the old tyrant hopes to be able to intervene in the taxation of the empire.He doesn't even need to go to such a high level, as long as he follows the rules, deducts layer by layer, and shears the wool layer by layer, he will naturally be able to own an incomparable wealth.

It's just that he just finished speaking, and when he was about to carefully observe Ren's reaction, Ren actually laughed, which made the old tyrant feel a little vigilant in his heart, who knows what this madman is going to do again.

"Since we talked about the State Administration of Taxation, I happen to have some ideas, and I will discuss them with you after a while."

In Ryan's view, the taxation method of the Orlando Empire is really too backward. Of course, it does not mean that the taxation method he knows must be advanced and has no loopholes.In another world, isn't it true that countless people evade taxes every year?With the accumulation of thousands of years of civilization in another world, the problem of the tax system cannot be solved. How could Renn think of a more clever attention?

Instead of hastily and blindly performing major surgery on the tax system without preparation, it is better to temporarily solve a large number of drawbacks in the tax system and reduce losses from another angle, that is, supervision.Therefore, the first thing to solve is not the reform of the taxation system, but the establishment of another department to monitor the corruption of the State Administration of Taxation.

Only under absolute power can absolute corruption breed.The power of the State Administration of Taxation is too great. It is not subject to the supervision and guidance of any department except the emperor and the prime minister who can directly influence and change this department.In addition, the tax system lacks the vertical management of supervision. Even if the local government knows that the tax official is doing something wrong, there is no way to sue him.

To report a tax official, you first need to come to the imperial capital, and then make an application to explain the situation, and the so-called investigation will only take place after the General Administration of Taxation accepts it.As for what problems can be investigated, the State Administration of Taxation has the final say.Many times, in order to cover the lid, there is obviously a problem, but it becomes no problem.

Instead of increasing revenue, it is better to cut expenditures. The total amount of tax deducted by the State Administration of Taxation and finally presented to the royal family is often only about [-]% of the actual total tax collection.Another [-]% was completely divided up by the vested interests of the entire tax system in all aspects.

Among them, the most profitable one is the head of the State Administration of Taxation and a large number of deputy heads.

It is impossible to review the current problems and suspected corruption in the State Administration of Taxation in a short period of time, so first get a procuratorate. On the one hand, it can put a spell on the State Administration of Taxation, and on the other hand, Rennes has a deeper level. consideration.Now that you have such an idea, what if you give up the position of chief of the State Administration of Taxation?
It is nothing more than a dog on a chain that can only bark but cannot bite.

As soon as Ren spoke, the tyrant shut his mouth.

"I have other ideas about the State Administration of Taxation. I don't plan to make too many changes to the original staff for the time being. If you have good candidates, you can also propose them."

What Ren said by saying this is tantamount to telling the old tyrant that the position of the chief is also given to you, but it makes the old tyrant not know what to do.This is like a jackal on the grassland, following behind a lion and waiting for the lion to eat and leave some meat and bones for it. Unexpectedly, the lion gave it the whole prey directly, so it dared not go forward.

After a moment of eye contact between the three, the old tyrant tentatively said, "There is a junior in my clan, he..."

Ren patted the armrest, "That's him."

After the meeting was over, the old tyrant immediately left the palace on the grounds that he was unwell. He needed to go home and talk about this matter with his clan staff.He can't figure it out, and needs to gather the wisdom of everyone.Vito also bid farewell to Ryan, and there are more things waiting for him to deal with, and he doesn't have much free time.

Only Lancer stayed.

Ren and Lancer didn't have much friendship. At most, even if they knew each other, Lancer also represented another golden nobleman.In fact, in the matter of Rennes' usurpation of the throne, no one showed any strong intention to oppose it. It can be said that they acquiesced to Rennes' actions.What Vito can see, they can naturally see.It is naturally better for Ren to stand up than themselves. What is important to them is not which family becomes the emperor, but the Orlando family is no longer the royal family. This is the most important thing!
"It's only been 370-370 years since the establishment of the empire. In these [-]-[-] years, there are only [-] gold nobles, and now there are only five of us left. It's really sad." Lancer sighed quietly. In one breath, "I'm afraid our ancestors would never have imagined that there would be such a day when our closest comrades-in-arms and companions would instead become the most dangerous enemy. It's really ridiculous."

Ryan said as he walked with a half-smile, "It is precisely because everything is out of our calculations and full of amazing surprises that we love this world so much. If everything follows your plan What is there in this world worth fighting for?" He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Lancer, who immediately took out a brand new fire sickle.

As the myth that cigarettes continue to create a commodity within the Orlando Empire, many things have begun to change from passive service cigarettes to active service cigarettes, among which the fire sickle has changed the most.The original scythe was a small cylinder that closed the miniature magic circuit in the process of pulling it apart to create flames.

But as more and more dignitaries use fire scythes on more and more important occasions, the merchants who produce scythes have realized that the old scythes can no longer meet the daily needs of dignitaries - mainly because they are not luxurious enough. fine.

With many whimsical ideas, various shapes of fire scythes came out one after another, and the one that Lancer is holding is the one that is most loved by the rich and powerful on the market.The fire scythe in his hand was no longer in the shape of a small cylinder, but a small box the size of a palm, which could be held in his hand.The outside of the box is a filigree sapphire face. There is a raised round ruby ​​in the middle right of the box. Press your thumb forward and push the mechanism in the box, and a reed will be moved. Become the key to the magic circuit and directly activate the magic circuit.

A small opening with a diameter of less than one centimeter will appear in the upper left corner of the box. Inside the opening is a hot, red and hot flame, just enough to insert one end of a cigarette.

Such a scythe is expensive, at least twenty gold coins or more, but even so, the supply is still in short supply.

After the two lit their cigarettes, they stopped and began to puff.

"They all got what they wanted, what about you? What do you want from me?" Ren gave him a sideways look.

Lancer smiled and patted the soot that accidentally fell on his body, and said as if he was serious, but also as if he was joking: "My family doesn't want anything. Whether it's title, position, wealth or anything else, we don't want need."

Ren asked with a smile: "So, you are all good people?"

"Good people can't talk about it, we need a promise from you."

"What promise?"

Lancer looked around and found no one nearby, so he lowered his voice and said, "Guarantee the safety of our family and not become the target of being cleaned, whether it is now or in the future."

Ren was taken aback, and laughed loudly. He put his arms around Lancer's shoulders and patted him a few times, "I'm not Pars, let alone anyone in the Orlando family. How could I hurt you and you?" What about your family? Is your request really a joke?!"

Lancer threw the cigarette he had only taken two puffs on the ground, stepped on it and crushed it with his toes, "I'm not kidding, as long as you can give us such a guarantee, then I and my family will cooperate with you with the greatest sincerity. , to be your most loyal and reliable partner."

Ren hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.Since Lancer can say that, it is definitely the result of their family's discussion. There is no need to break with Lancer and his family and push them to the other side for such a thing at this time.

What Renne needs now is not a more intensified battle. He has just toppled the Orlando family from the throne, and the entire empire is still in the process of passive acceptance and understanding.In this process, there will definitely be a group of nobles and groups who do not recognize that Rennes has gained power. They will not sit back and watch Rennes grasp the supreme power step by step, and they will definitely jump out and sing against Rennes.

At this time, a stable imperial capital is very important to Rennes.It is impossible for him to fight outside while guarding against someone in the imperial capital trying to attack him, so in fact, no matter what unreasonable and absurd demands they make today, Rennes will satisfy them.

After the uncooperative forces in the empire are resolved, Ren will turn around and deal with them - the golden nobles.

Just like what the Orlando family did, he cannot be safe until these people and families who can legally shake his throne are completely wiped out from the world.

His impeachment of Empress Pars through the Imperial Parliament played a very important role in this usurpation. It was precisely because of the impeachment case passed by the Imperial Parliament that Wren's usurpation became a "legal" replacement, no longer a A simple rebellion is a change that is justified and well-founded.

He has indeed obtained great benefits because of this, but it has also pointed out a way for others.

In case some incidents at this time make both parties unhappy, and when Ren leads his troops to conquer the full moon, or leaves the imperial capital to clear up the rebellion, these guys jump out and imitate him at the Empire Council to impeach him, Ren, then But there is going to be a big mistake!
Lancer left the palace very happily after receiving Rennes' guarantee. Next, he needs to adjust the family's strategy, from passive defense to active one, to win more benefits.

It is easy to usurp the throne, but it is difficult to be the emperor.

In particular, his action this time was as fast as lightning, and it only took one night to settle everything.The outside world may not have changed much, but there is definitely an undercurrent in the imperial capital.In order to frighten some people with nothing but heart, Ren planned to warn them with blood and death.

While the residents of the imperial capital were still immersed in the shock that the emperor had changed, the Imperial State Security Department, under the command of Nietzsche, began to kill and arrest those staunch royalists.Anyone who dares to stand up against him, or question him in public, will be defined as a criminal and will be questioned and tried.

On the third day, the entire empire, including Man Yue and Emperor Bai Kun who was fighting a civil war, knew about it.

Especially after Brother Grace was killed in battle, the pressure from the western front suddenly increased, and the group of barbarians with sand all over their heads attacked the seven fortresses on the western front wave after wave.

This time, they didn't seem to intend to spit out what they swallowed.

　I'm too sleepy, and I suspect that if I endure it, I will die, so I'll just write a chapter today.
