Vol 3 Chapter 3048: Illuminati influence

—Another hour or so~~

"I don't know if you realize it, but the core of everything Ellan wants to develop is to expand the group of mages. Originally, Elland, as an area of ​​Sruvende, did not have the problems it is encountering now. It's not that there are none, but It was faced by Sruvander as a whole, but after independence it had to be faced alone.”

To put it bluntly, everything in Ellan used to be supported by Sluvender. Now that it has become independent, Ellan and the alliance can also control it to a certain extent, but in the final analysis, it still needs to be independent.

It's obviously not possible to be able to provide for the people's food rations like now.

Fortunately, Elam has now realized the importance of the mage group, and is interested in popularizing magic in the country to expand the number of mage groups. This is already much ahead of other countries.

For example, Evereska, the person whom Elan studied, has done a good job in agriculture, but in terms of popularizing magic, it has only opened a small opening so far, allowing some societies to have independent qualifications to recruit apprentices.

It has not reached the level of universal popularization that Xia Duo believes is truly qualified.

However, if Elan wants to catch up quickly, he may be able to be more aggressive. After all, in their current situation, if they don't become more aggressive, they may only be able to cut off their flesh bit by bit until they are completely digested.

The Alliance does recognize Elam's independent status, but the premise of everything is that Elam exists. If the Elam people voluntarily give up the Elamite state, then even the Alliance will not force their heads to let them maintain Elam. Exists?

At present, there are signs that Elam cannot survive. Even food needs to be imported in large quantities. What is there to talk about in the future?

No matter the drawbacks of popularizing magic, at least you can struggle for a while, which is better than slow death.

Tomedis had no objection to Shado's belief that the key to changing Elam's status quo was the popularization of magic. As he himself said, the seven elders of Elam had already made a similar judgment.

But regarding the process of popularizing magic and how it works after that, Elam doesn't have much existing experience to draw from.

"Then Counselor Ishado, what should Elan do next?"

"You are not a qualified diplomat." Sha Duo suddenly changed the topic, stared at Tomedis for a while, and then said, "However, I still appreciate that you can be so direct."

"What kind of diplomat am I? In the past, I was just a very ordinary carving teacher in the Elam region. I never thought that one day I would become the plenipotentiary representative of a forced independent country in the alliance."

At this moment, Tomedes had completely lost the manners of a diplomat and behaved like a very angry ordinary person. He told Chateau:

"Although I don't know much about the rules of diplomacy, there is one thing I am sure I do not belong to any other diplomat, and that is my love for my hometown and my love for the people in my hometown. Elamite independence is not what we thought, but since Now that she is independent, we have the obligation to develop her well!”

"What if someone wants to take Elan into the abyss?" Sha Duo asked again.

"Those three million Elamite people will resist to the end!" Tomedis said loudly.

Although the Elam region did not perform well in the previous war between Sruvend and Yeerlan, and there were even many leading parties, but that was before.

After previous wars, divisions, independence, and various experiences after independence, the people of Elam have completely recognized the evil nature of Elam.

Elam will never be able to integrate with Elam without any barriers. If the current Elam wants to take the Elam region as their own, then the people of Elam will definitely tell Yelan through their actions that the determination of the Sons of the Sun is What.

It's just that Tomedes didn't understand the true meaning of Shado's words. Ellan couldn't bring Ellan into the abyss. The only one who could bring Ellan into the abyss was Ellan himself, or the latent Illuminati.

Shado did not go into detail on this issue. He knew very well that Tomedes was not a member of the Illuminati, and even most of the top leaders of Elan were not members of the Illuminati.

After Yeerlan occupied Elan, even if the purpose was to invade Sruvend's territory, the excuses on the surface could not really be forgotten, and the demon descendants would definitely be tracked down.

When the Illuminati's time-related rituals are exposed, Elam may have some scruples and various resistances in its own country, but not in Elam. The intensity of the investigation of the Illuminati must be unprecedented.

In a sense, Ellan is even "cleaner" than Ellan!

But the absence of the Illuminati or the small number of Illuminati members does not mean that it has not been influenced by the Illuminati. As the key to all the Illuminati's actions, Elam will definitely not give up its business.

Regarding the recent proposal by Elam to levy personal income tax on the mages, Shado did not believe that there was no influence of the Illuminati. You must know that none of the countries in the North, including Netheril, had a so-called "personal income tax."

Taxes in various countries are mainly divided into two categories. One category is derived from land, such as food tax, homestead tax, road tax, etc.

The other type is derived from commodity transactions, such as transaction tax, transit tax, business tax, etc.

In the past, Northland did not even have the concept of personal income tax, so when Charles reported to Shado, he would say "Elan is preparing to collect the computing power pool subsidy received by the mage."

When Tomedis explained, he said that this was a tax, and it was not even a direct subsidy for the computing power pool. It was just that the amount of money was too prominent, which attracted Xia Duo's attention.

If Elan doesn't put its mind to subsidizing the computing power pool, even if they have to collect personal income tax, Xia Duo will receive the news as soon as possible.

However, a new tax, and a new tax involving a group of mages, cannot be born out of thin air. In the past, the Northland had no concept of this at all.

Personal income is personal income. Neither the lord nor the country has the right to collect taxes. UU Readingwww. uukanshu.net Because the basis of rule, whether it is a lord or a country, is largely based on land.

The process of obtaining income by an individual has settled the tax disputes with the lord and the country. The income itself should be very pure and clean. (Income involves your own labor. If it is unexpected income, it belongs directly to the lord)

That is to say, there is no need to pay the so-called personal income tax.

Personal income tax as understood by Chateau should be a type of tax reasonably and legally created by the modern state based on the social contract.

This contract not only ensures the survival of the country (tax collection), but also guarantees the rights of citizens. Or, to put it more bluntly, citizens use taxes to support a national system that guarantees their rights.

Obviously, the current countries in the North are far from the scope of modern countries that Xia Duo understands.

The most typical question is who controls the collected taxes. Most modern countries have completed centralization reforms and power belongs to the government.

In the current Northland, the centralization reforms of various countries have just begun, so how did such an advanced product come into being?
