Therefore Akii Peters calms down, is emboldening to refute: „We harvested some kustelites, but your majesty had warned our finance department, gold and silver cannot overissue, must corresponds with every year grain yield and tax revenue...... in brief in other words, the gold/metal silver hair were many, the silver coins in our hand become not valuable, therefore excavates gold and silver from the kustelite directly, as the expense of this new mercenaries, the finance department may be unable to take responsibility, must obtain your majesty authorization.” Said that Akii Peters turns around to the doctor is bends the waist to salute respectfully. 所以阿基比德斯定下心来,壮着胆子反驳道:“我们是收获了一些金银矿,但是陛下曾经告诫过我们财务部,金银不能滥发,必须要和每年的粮食产量以及税收相对应……总之就是说,金银发多了,我们手中的银币就变得不值钱了,所以直接从金银矿采挖金银,作为这支新的雇佣军的费用,财务部可做不了主,必须要获得陛下的批准。”说完阿基比德斯转身向大夫系恭敬的弯腰行礼。 Davos said in a soft voice: „Akii Peters said right, the kustelite is the strategic resources of kingdom, cannot be the long-term financial disbursement, only if there is a sudden peculiar circumstance.” 戴弗斯轻声说道:“阿基比德斯说的没错,金银矿是王国的战略物资,不能作为长期的财务支出,除非有突发的特殊情况。” „Your majesty decision is right! If steps on and digs, uncombed hair to the kustelite randomly randomly, making in the kingdom gold and silver be in flood, will only sabotage the brisk trade of kingdom, provodes the confusion.” Business secretary Marigi expressed the support immediately, endorsed for Akii Peters. “陛下的决定是对的！如果对金银矿乱踩、乱挖、乱发,让王国内金银泛滥,只会破坏王国的贸易繁荣,引发混乱。”商务大臣马里吉当即表示赞同,为阿基比德斯背书。 Akii Peters is in high spirits to continue saying: „...... Sir Alexius, you light/only saw the kingdom increased how much lands, actually without seeing to manage these lands, we increased many officials, must give more pay, this is a very big disbursement. This do not say to migrate the citizen to these new lands on, the big pen that needs to spend moves the expense, as well as builds roads, repairs the bridge and cultivates on these new lands the temple...... to cultivate/repair various public facilities and maintenance cost, this is a huge disbursement. Told a truth to you, if were not these years business is prosperous, the increased business tax income made up for the disbursement that these increased reluctantly, perhaps every month will issue your pay to drop.” 阿基比德斯精神振奋的继续说道:“还有……阿莱克西斯大人,你光看到了王国增加了多少土地,却没有看到为了管理这些土地,我们增加了多少官员,要给更多的薪酬,这就已经是很大的一笔支出了。这还不要说为了将公民迁移到这些新的土地上,所需要花费的大笔迁居费用,以及在这些新土地上修路、修桥、修神庙……修各种公共设施以及维护费用,这更是一笔巨大的支出。跟你说句实话,如果不是这几年商贸繁荣,增加的商税收入勉强弥补了这些增加的支出,恐怕每月发给你们的薪酬都会有所减少。” Akii Peters is saying, but also nods to express the acknowledgment to Marigi. 阿基比德斯说着,还向马里吉点头表示致谢。 Alexius was then scared, he thinks that formulated this new law, the special regiment that the kingdom can 2-3 be able to put into the fight at any time, the military affairs section will feel more relaxed, has not thought real difficultly also in behind. 阿莱克西斯这下傻眼了,他原以为制定了这个新的法令,王国就可以多出2-3个可以随时投入战斗的特殊军团,军务部就会感到轻松许多,没想到真正困难的还在后面。 He said reluctantly: „Since everyone unanimously agreed must establish such armies comprised of outside nation freemen, thinks that must need the adequate military expenses to maintain, but the state treasury is unable to provide the military expenses for it now, may not have the military expenses, this army is unable to establish, what to do then should?” 他无奈地说道:“既然大家都一致同意要建立这样一支由外邦自由民组成的军队,又认为必须需要足够的军费来维持,但现在国库无法为其提供军费,可没有军费,这支军队就无法建立,那么该怎么办？” Lysias casts down one's eyes, the nose view heart, an appearance of ponder. 吕西阿斯眼观鼻、鼻观心,一副沉思的模样。 The Siprus look rotation, start to speak but hesitate several times. 西普洛斯眼神转动,几次欲言又止。 What that Marigi and Dorum is saying low voice. 马里吉和塞多鲁姆在小声说的什么。 Hemon shrugs, saying of apology: „I too did not know about the finance of kingdom.” 赫蒙耸耸肩,歉意的说道:“我对王国的财政并不太了解。” Before loudly shouted does not have Akii Peters of money at this moment actually to remain silent. 之前大呼没钱的阿基比德斯此刻却保持了沉默。 Other ministers are too do not understand and are somewhat vacant either, either also exhibits an appearance of thinking, in the royal palace hall presents a strange tranquility. 其他的大臣要么是真对此不太了解、有些茫然,要么也是摆出一副思索的模样,王宫大厅内呈现出一种诡异的平静。 This is, a loud and clear sound resounds: „Because establishes one to be separated from the army that the daily practical training, can put into the fight momentarily truly is the need that the area of our kingdom constantly expands, is one brand-new, the long-term important national policy, its military spending is therefore best levies the new tax to the people alone!” 这是,一个洪亮的声音响起:“因为建立一支真正脱离日常劳作、能够随时投入战斗的军队是我们王国的疆域日益扩大的需要,是一个全新的、长期的重要国策,所以它的军费开支最好是单独向民众征收新税！” Such remarks, some people feel astonished, some facial expressions as before, some obviously relax. 此言一出,有的人感到惊愕,有的神情依旧,有的则明显松了口气。 Increases the tax, finally some people said it!...... Davos both hands grasp the arm rest of seat, looks to the person of speech: Uquina Lees, is really he! Dares to assume office, is bold in assuming office, worthily was the outstanding talent of past Kunogelata recommendation, knew perfectly well that will therefore offend the peoples, was saying without hesitation, regarded the safety own success and failure of kingdom more important. Under compares, another rotating president and working that ability stronger Siprus obviously consideration he regards as important were too many, as for Lysias and Hemon, Dorum these people...... hehe. 增税,终于有人将它说出来了！……戴弗斯双手抓紧座位的扶手,看向说话的人:阿塔里斯,果然是他！敢于任事,勇于任事,不愧是当年库诺戈拉塔推荐的优秀人才,明知会因此得罪广大民众,还是毫不犹豫的说出口,视王国的安危比自身的得失更重要。相比较之下,他看重的另一位轮值主席、做事能力更强的西普洛斯显然考虑的太多了,至于吕西阿斯、赫蒙,塞多鲁姆这些人……呵呵。 The glance whole body of ministers that Davos maintains composure, receive in all living things the eye, when contacts with the Siprus vision, Siprus put aside the head quickly, he had realized oneself displayed to disappoint Davos a moment ago. 戴弗斯不动声色的扫视群臣,将众生相收入眼中,当与西普洛斯的目光相接触时,西普洛斯很快移开了头,他已经意识到自己刚才的表现让戴弗斯失望了。 „Increases the tax? This is not quite good, the people are very perhaps difficult to accept.” What first responds is medical minister Herpus. “增税？这样不太好吧,民众恐怕很难接受。”最先做出回应的是医务大臣赫尔普斯。 „Yes, since Theonia has established, the direct tax of kingdom is 1%, 20 years were nearly invariable throughout, the people have been used to it, if must levy taxes now, making them pay more money, perhaps is very difficult to make them accept.” Builds minister Heracleides also to indicate that later oneself attitude, he and Herpus as the technical official, have not as if stood in the angle of kingdom consider the issue, what first thinks is the mentality of people. “是啊,自从戴奥尼亚建立以来,王国的直接税就一直是百分之一,快20年了始终不变,民众已经习惯了,如果现在要征税,让他们缴纳更多的钱,恐怕很难令他们接受。”营造大臣赫拉克利德也随后表明自己的态度,他和赫尔普斯作为技术官员,似乎都没有站在王国的角度去考虑问题,首先想到的是民众的心态。 „Your majesty had said a moment ago, the time is changing, the environment is changing, the kingdom is changing, our laws should also certainly also change, to adapt new need! 20 years ago, when Theonia establishes, perhaps has 34 small cities, the population is also less than 30,000 people, very common ; But now the kingdom is west the Mediterranean overlord, the territory area was the past more than ten times, the population surpasses 3 million, many attached in our city-state and influences, has not been that small city-state alliance of past years!” “刚才陛下已经说过了,时代在改变,环境在改变,王国在改变,我们的法令当然也应该随之改变,以适应新的需要！20年前,戴奥尼亚建立时,才拥有三四座小城镇,人口恐怕就还不到3万人,非常的不起眼;而如今王国已经是西地中海的霸主,领地面积是当年的十几倍,人口超过300万,更有不少附属于我们的城邦和势力,早已经不是当年的那个小小的城邦联盟！” Siprus stands finally the speech, his mood spirited saying: „ When Theonia just established, all public officials do not have the pay including the senior statesmen, but now kingdom primary official one month of pay roughly can buy a cow, do not say us ; 西普洛斯终于站出来说话,他情绪激昂的说道:“戴奥尼亚刚建立时,所有的公职人员包括元老都没有薪酬,而如今王国初级官员一个月的薪酬就大致可以买一头牛,更不要说我们; 20 years ago, Theonia dispatches troops to battle, the citizen who all can battle puts together is also less than 10,000 people, in several hours can arrive in the frontline, 1-2 days later can end the fight, return to city-state, the time even was short the soldiers not to finish eating from its own grain ration ; 20年前,戴奥尼亚出兵作战,所有能作战的公民加在一起还不到1万人,几个小时内就能抵达前线,1-2之后就能结束战斗,返回城邦,时间短得连士兵们从自家携带的口粮都没吃完; But now, once the kingdom launches the war, easily can dispatch tens of thousands people, the operational time to calculate by the moon/month, the military provisions that needs take the fundamental unit to count by the ton, but also excluding other consumptions of materials, these is provided by the kingdom ; 而如今,一旦王国发动战争,轻易就能出动几万人,作战时间都是以月来计算,所需要的军粮以吨来作为基本单位统计,还不包括其他的物质消耗,这些都是由王国来提供; 20 years ago, Theonia except for constructing path, no big disbursement, but now the kingdom has the innumerable public building, not only constructs the expense, merely is the maintenance cost is a big number, money that the schools and public hospitals in various cities make is not enough to maintain its revolution, needs the kingdom to conduct the subsidy to maintain...... 20年前,戴奥尼亚除了修建道路,没有什么大的支出,而如今王国有数不清的公共建筑,不光是建筑费用,仅仅是维护费用就是一个不小的数字,还有各城镇的学校和公共医院所挣得的钱根本不足以维护其运转,需要王国进行补助才能维持…… The kingdom is bigger, the consumption is also bigger, can satisfy Kingdom of Theonia by that 1% tax merely day by day the need to develop? Of course not! What we depend the business tax of being brings the brisk trade that gathers because of Wang Guoqiang greatly! What depended is lets the inheritance tax that the citizen collects wealthily because of Wang Guoqiang greatly! What depended is Wang Guoqiang lets other expense that the people's lives obtain colorfully greatly( e.g. has skills competition lottery ticket that Department of Commerce acts to manage, the borrowing books expense of library wait/etc)! What depended is your majesty wise and everyone works conscientiously, guaranteed kingdom today's development reluctantly! 王国越大,消耗也越大,仅仅靠那百分之一的税就能够满足戴奥尼亚王国日益发展的需要吗？当然不是！我们靠的是因王国强大带来的贸易繁荣而收取的商税！靠的是因王国强大让公民富裕而收取的遗产税！靠的是王国强大让民众生活丰富多彩而获得的其他费用(比如有商务部出面主持的竞技比赛彩票,图书馆的借书费用等等)！靠的是陛下的英明和大家兢兢业业的工作,才勉强保证了王国今天的发展！ To be honest, the direct tax that for 20 years the kingdom collects has been maintaining 1%, this absolutely is a giant miracle! This is blessing of Hades! This is your majesty benevolence! Even when the war is most difficult, the kingdom still borrows money from the people, rather than collects the high war tax outrageously, the Theonia people should feel very lucky, they live in such a happy kingdom, rather than other places. 说实话,20年来王国所收取的直接税一直保持着百分之一,这绝对是一个巨大的奇迹！这是哈迪斯的庇佑！这是陛下的仁慈！即使是在战争最困难的时候,王国也只是向民众借钱,而不是悍然收取高额的战争税,戴奥尼亚民众应该感到很幸运,他们生活在这样一个幸福的王国,而不是其他地方。 Has a look at around us, this has not been dozens years ago Greek city-state citizen did not collect the direct tax the traditional world. 看看我们周围吧,这早已不是几十年前希腊城邦公民不收直接税的传统世界了。 In the beforehand Sicily east, in the Dionysius rule period, each city-state war tax reaches as high as over 30, and continued for many years, even if were overthrown to him afterward, Syracuse every year direct tax was still close to 10, to guarantee that city-state can restore the strength as soon as possible, can safeguard the security under our pressures ; 在之前西西里的东部,在狄奥尼修斯统治时期,每一个城邦的战争税高达30以上,并且持续了多年,即使是到后来他被推翻,锡拉库扎每年的直接税也接近了十,以保证城邦能尽快的恢复实力,在我们的压力下能够保障安全; In the Sicily west, Phoenicia city-state and tax rate of Carthage child nation wants to be lower relatively, but also exceeded 5, it is said the money of these tax revenues spent in Iberia southern conquering. 在西西里的西部,腓尼基城邦和迦太基子邦的税率相对要低一些,但也超过了五,据说这些税收的钱都花费到了伊比利亚南部的征服中。 Has a look at Greece again, in these years the war frequency sends, which city-state direct tax is not at over 20, even richest Athens, they even found out the excellent collecting taxes method, the regionalization piece under jurisdiction, in each collecting taxes block must have the external rich merchants of many settling down, then stipulated that this/should block must pay many shares the taxes, cannot achieve must subject to a penalty, because often in the block people's entreaty and forcing, more than 50% tax amount were undertaken by these rich merchants. 再看看希腊本土,这几十年来战争频发,哪个城邦的直接税不在20以上,即使是最富有的雅典,他们甚至想出了绝妙的收税方法,将管辖下的德莫区划片,每一个收税片区内必须有不少定居的外来富商,然后规定该片区必须缴纳多少份额的税,达不到就要受罚,往往由于片区内民众的哀求和逼迫,一半以上的税额都由这些富商承担了。 Not to mention Sparta, it is always all wealth that city-state makes controls by the government, is responsible for assigning by it again. 更不用说斯巴达,它从来都是城邦挣得的所有财富都由政府掌控,再由它来负责分配。 This is a war frequency sends, the dangerous rebirth world, our surrounding countries and influences are saving the strength, conducts to exert the struggle. Theonia now is even powerful, cannot treat it lightly, the kingdom not only should increase the tax, but also the tax rate was unable is too low, this can guarantee that the kingdom can revolve normally, has the security of sufficient strength security territory, to defend the interests of people! ” 诸位,这是一个战争频发、危险重生的世界,我们周围的国家和势力都在积蓄力量,进行奋争。戴奥尼亚即使现在强大了,也不能掉以轻心,王国不但应该增税,而且税率还不能太低,这样才能保证王国能够正常的运转,有足够的力量保卫领地的安全、捍卫民众的利益！” Siprus these words rouse the deaf, making some people suddenly absent-minded, makes some people be suddenly enlighted. 西普洛斯的这番话振聋发聩,让一些人恍然失神,也让一些人恍然大悟。 Davos approved one loudly: „Said well!” 紧接着,戴弗斯大声赞了一句:“说得好！” Many people understand at this time: Your majesty is the support increases the tax! 不少人这时才明白:陛下是支持增税的！ The atmosphere in hall starts to change, persuasion that but Lysias still worried about: „Your majesty, once proposed the extra taxation, not only will stir very great controversy in council, will also cause very big disaffection in the people, may cause the turbulence in kingdom, will have very tremendous effect on your majesty your prestige!” 大厅内的气氛开始发生改变,但吕西阿斯仍然担忧的劝说道:“陛下,一旦提出额外征税,不但在元老院会引起很大争议,而且在民众中更会引起很大的不满,可能会引起王国的动荡,对陛下您的威望会有很大影响啊！” Davos smiles lightly, the sinking sound said: „Like Uquina Lees, Siprus for the national interest, ignores individual honor or disgrace, is bold in proposing that suggestion, I patron god Hades the descendants as this kingdom, care about this to destroy to discuss! I only asked you, should Lysias, increasing the tax?” 戴弗斯淡淡一笑,沉声说道:“像阿塔里斯、西普洛斯为了国家利益,不顾个人荣辱,勇于提出这样的建议,我作为这个王国的守护神哈迪斯的子孙,难道还在意这点毁议吗！我只问你,吕西阿斯,增税应不应该？” A Davos language points to the center, Lysias is unable to avoid, can only reply: „Your majesty, from the kingdom present situation, we...... is needs armies that is formed by outside nation freemen ; For does not affect the normal operation of kingdom, we also...... need to increase a tax additionally, comes to provide the commodity support for this army.” 戴弗斯一语直指中心,吕西阿斯无法回避,只能回答:“陛下,从王国现状来看,我们……是需要一支由外邦自由民组建的军队;为了不影响王国的正常运行,我们也……需要额外增加一点税,来为这支军队提供物资支持。”
