Be a Lord in the World of Black Beasts

"Provided help?" Yi Cheng frowned, could it be a loan?Or other benefits?

"The taxation in Guangming City is relatively heavy, especially for the rich, which is almost [-]% of the total. Almost all the money collected is distributed to the poor to help them improve their lives."

Maria went on to say that there was pride in what the church did in her words. After all, such a church that cares for the poor hardly exists.

This has also converted many poor people to the Church of Light, which is also the basis for the development of the Church of Light.

"Yes, for these poor people, we will do our best to help them." Djerneba's face was full of undisguised excitement and pride.

But is this really good?Yi Cheng couldn't help but shook his head, to be honest, he disagreed with the church's approach.

"I guess the financial revenue of the Guangming City Church must be in deficit soon?" Yi Cheng then said in an affirmative tone, "It must be in deficit."

"How do you know!?" Djerneba asked in shock.

Indeed, although Guangming City is the headquarters of the Guangming Church, the capital of the Guangming Church is not at all what it should be.

The headquarters of other churches are all prosperous, but only the City of Light of the Church of Light is prosperous on the surface.

In fact, the overall tax revenue of Guangming City is very low, and sometimes even the subsidies for the poor are allocated from the tax revenue of other cities.

"You don't need to think about it to know that Guangming City is just a cosmetic project." Yi Cheng pointed to a coolie working on the street.

"Look at him, he works slowly, carries a bag of rice at a time, and stops to say hello to people he knows." Then Yi Cheng pointed to another place.

"You are looking at this store. I think the prices inside should be very low, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to buy a lot of things from it."

"But, isn't the low price a good thing?" Maria said puzzled. She remembered that the price in New Sun City was very low. How could it be different when she came to Guangming City.

"Hmph! What do you know, the price level should be linked to the relationship between supply and demand, that is, the higher the productivity, the lower the price." But unfortunately, the productivity in this world is not high.

The shop closed after only a short while. Obviously, the items in it were sold out, but they were all at an extremely low price, and there was probably no profit at all.

"I don't understand." Djerneba shook his head. With all due respect, he didn't understand a single word about supply and demand and productivity that Yi Cheng was talking about.

"Just get used to it." The master shrugged.

"To put it simply, although the poor are satisfied, the capital is not. I think there must be very few big businessmen in Bright City?"

"Hmph! That's what you said wrong. The number of big businessmen in Guangming City is more than one level, almost the most in all big cities." Maria finally found a way to refute Yi Cheng, and she was very proud.

"No, I think Mr. Yicheng should be talking about businessmen who carry out commercial activities." Glendis said from the side, and Yicheng looked at Glendis in surprise.

I didn't expect Galantis to be able to discover the truth of what he said, it's not easy.

Gloria was a little embarrassed by Yi Cheng, and said, "Actually, I heard these from Chloe." Gloria had contacted Chloe when he was in New Sun City.

Sometimes Chloe would tell her some knowledge about Yichengjiao, so Galantis understood a little bit.

"This is really not much..." Although I am very unwilling, I have to admit that these big businessmen came to Guangming City not to do business, but to enjoy their old age, because the medical conditions and public security in Guangming City are almost the same as those in all cities. the best of the best.

"So, now your Guangming City is like a nursing home, almost all relying on the daily expenses required by those rich people."

Guangming City is like a developed country in Europe with high welfare. Although the welfare of civilians is good, most of them have helped those who are not seeking to make progress.

But those who really worked hard were severely squeezed and treated unfairly, and the rewards for their efforts were too low, so they might as well be a rice bug.

Chapter 110 Five: The Pope with His Holy Light

Once there are more people like this who can easily fill their stomachs without working hard, the burden on society will be heavier, because the production materials produced by his labor are lower than his consumption.

"Then I would like to ask Your Excellency Yi Cheng, what should we do in the right way." A strange voice came over, sounding youthful and full of kindness.

Yi Cheng looked in the direction of the voice, damn it!It's so dazzling!In front of Yi Cheng was a black-haired girl in a platinum robe.

From the point of view of figure, there is no doubt that it is excellent, and if you squint your eyes and look hard, your face is also a rare beauty.

But this beauty seems to have a natural protective shield, that is, she has two dazzling holy lights, one at the back of her head and one at her buttocks.

The two groups of holy lights are so dazzling that they are like the scorching sun in the clear sky, just looking at them makes people feel dazzling.

"Your safety is the Pope's crown." Derneba and the master knelt on one knee to salute.

"Hello." The Pope nodded.

"How are you too? Maria." The Pope looked at Maria.

"Hey! Is this the Pope? So she can know you?" Yi Cheng approached Maria and asked in a low voice.

I thought that I would have the opportunity to meet the mysterious pope at least after arriving at the church, but I didn't expect to see him on the street. It was really unexpected.

"Maria once communicated with me remotely, I have seen it, and no matter how the body is replaced, I always know the soul."

"My name is Beatrice St. Goethe. I am the No. 14 Pope of the Illumination Church. It is good to call me Beatrice. Also, it is a pleasure to meet you, His Excellency Angel Yicheng."

Pope Beatrice put one hand on her chest and bent slightly.

"Angel Quan? What do you mean?" Yi Cheng asked curiously.

"The angels who came down to earth in the past are all the lower three-level angels-the power angels of the Holy Spirit's class, so according to the convention, you should be the power angel."

Maria remembers a lot of information about angels, because they live longer, so they see a lot of angels. On average, every angel who descends to earth will stay in the world for 100 years after being received by the church.

This is also a fixed miracle of the Guangming Church, so the Guangming Church can successfully become one of the top churches on the mainland.

"Haha, good morning, Pope Beatrice." Yi Cheng smiled brightly, and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the Pope.

Stare~ Pope Beatrice stared at Yi Cheng's outstretched right hand for a while, but did not move for a long time.

Yi Cheng suddenly remembered that there is no handshake etiquette in this world, "Sorry, this is the etiquette of our New Sun City. A handshake between two parties represents friendship."

"Is that so, then I will follow your customs and habits." Pope Beatrice smiled sweetly, and then stretched out her white and tender hand to join Yi Cheng's big hand.

call!Cool!This hand is tender and slippery, just like pinching tofu, it feels great!

After Yi Cheng shook it twice, he reluctantly let go.

This Pope Beatrice is good at everything, but it is a pity that the attribute of holy light is not good. He can see clearly mainly because his body has been strengthened by the God of Light and he has good magic power.

Yi Cheng looked at Beatrice a little bit, and could vaguely see that she should have a typical mixed appearance of Orientals and Westerners, that is, she has both the exquisiteness of an Eastern face and the three-dimensional features of a Westerner.

Could it be that this is still a mixed race?Orientals are not uncommon in this world. Even the third fortress, one of the seven northern fortresses, led by Miko Kaguya, is almost full of oriental faces.

But Yi Cheng can only see this point roughly, and can't see the rest.For example, how big the breasts are, how high the buttocks are, etc., are completely covered by the damn holy light.

"By the way, Your Majesty Yi Cheng, you didn't answer my question. Regarding the current situation in Guangming City, what should we do to change it?" Beatrice leaned over slightly with her holy light, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about this. The answer.

"The correct way of welfare is not to give money directly to the people, but to create an environment where they can work hard." In this regard, Yicheng feels that his country has found the right direction.

"The most important thing to use for the people's money is the infrastructure in the territory, such as developed transportation, high-quality education, perfect medical care and a relatively clean ruling class."

"As long as there are these four projects, the territory will basically develop on its own. In addition, taxation is also very important. The highest tax rate in my New Sun City is only 30.00% five."

Yes, Yicheng's Xinri City allows independent business, especially after Gabil and Yuhak opened a canteen and made a fortune, everyone has the courage to eat crabs.

For these business people, Yicheng has to collect a certain amount of tax. Yicheng adopts a progressive system, and when the monthly income is less than one gold coin, there is no need to pay tax.

If more than one gold coin is less than five gold coins, 15.00% of the profit is paid, and if it is more than five gold coins and less than twenty gold coins, 20.00% of the profit is paid.

After that, there are twenty gold coins later, and the highest can reach 30.00% five, which is almost a very light tax among the various territories.

Generally, other territories are taxed at four or five taxes, regardless of size. Some of the more tyrannical ones are taxed at seven. Of course, there are tyrants who take away all the food from the people and leave only a little ration.

Reasonable taxation is the guarantee for the healthy development of the country. If the income is low, the government may not be able to operate financially, and at the same time, the polarization of social wealth is serious.

However, if the tax is high, it will affect the vitality of the market economy and capital will shrink.This is also the current predicament of Guangming City.

Generally speaking, the advantages of Guangming City are quite large, because this is the headquarters of the Guangming Church, so the medical conditions here are quite excellent.

Generally, life-threatening fevers or other diseases have special priests to deal with them, so Guangming City is definitely top-notch in terms of medical treatment.

As for the traffic, the traffic in Guangming City is not too bad, at least there are bluestone roads everywhere in the city, and there is also a relatively wide road outside the city.

Although the ruling class is a bit stupid, they can still be sure that they are dedicated to the people. Yi Cheng looked at Beatrice, yes, it was you.

Then the most important issue is high-quality education and a reasonable tax.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. It is not a good thing to blindly distribute food and money to these poor people, as it will make them lazy.

This group of rice worms should know that it is impossible to count on the top to give you bread every day, and the real way is to give them a shovel and let them work.

"In other words, we need to cancel the bread for the poor, and then lower taxes for the rich with big bellies?" Djerneba couldn't believe it.

"Then what if the poor are hungry or even starved to death?" Djerneba couldn't help protesting, he really couldn't accept such cruel treatment of the poor.

"As long as he has hands and feet and is able to work, then don't worry about him. It's his business to starve to death. However, those with disabilities can give some help depending on the situation, but not too much."

"If you have feet, you can pull a cart, and if you have hands, you can do work. Everyone comes out to make a living. If there is no reason, who should bear your living costs."

"As for lowering taxes, I don't want you to make a rough one-size-fits-all policy. Those with higher incomes will be charged higher, and those with lower incomes will be charged less or not. The degree is up to you to choose."

"But I want you to know that if the money of the rich is kept in their hands, then it is dead money, but if it is spent, even if he will earn more money, it is our ruling class and the people who have earned it."

Yi Cheng's words made Beatrice a little puzzled. She was a real genius in church sacred arts and light magic, and she was quite knowledgeable, but she could hardly understand what Yi Cheng said.

"Can you explain in more detail? I can't understand." Fortunately, Pope Beatrice is not a face-saving person. She really has poor people in her heart.

"To put it simply, the materials that a person can enjoy are limited, but the value that can be created is unlimited. As long as the money spent by the rich exceeds the money he enjoys, then it is good."

This is like a national father who is worth tens of billions, but the money he can enjoy is limited, and the value he can create is far more than the part he enjoys.

So when rich people reach a certain level, they have almost no pursuits in life, because that's the most.

What they pursue is a higher level of interests, and when they touch this part, they can be regarded as real big businessmen.

If the national father puts all his net worth at home, then this money is dead money, which is equivalent to losing tens of billions of wealth in the market.

But if it is spent, it is a living money, even if it is promised that he can double it in the future, as long as he does not continue to leave the money at home to mold, then the country will always earn it.

Of course, good people in power will not allow capital to stay at home and mold.

If Yi Cheng came to manage Guangming City, he would first stop those welfare benefits, and then lower the tax rate and promise preferential policies to lure the rich's capital into the market.

Then use real estate and other real estate to lock up these capitals in Guangming City, and then the wealthy people who invest will become migrant workers in the country, responsible for continuously creating wealth.

This is the relationship between a qualified ruler and a wealthy person.

"When capital flows into the market, it will naturally attract people who want to make money to work, and their labor will be transformed into wealth, so that society can progress."

Yi Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. After such a long paragraph, I hope Beatrice can understand.

"Okay, I'll keep it in my heart." Although Beatrice couldn't understand, she could write it down and think about it later.

Yi Cheng and others followed Beatrice to the most important building of the Church of Light—the Hub Cathedral.It has to be said that the construction of the hub cathedral is quite heroic.
