"The fourth category of people can be identified as investment immigrants, who come to our territory to invest in building factories or to contract land for plantations. These people are wealthy and can bring tax revenue to our territory, so they are also special cases.
The fifth category is called entrepreneurial immigration. It is impossible for our territory to think of everything in detail. At this time, if someone thinks he can improve our territory's business or agriculture, he can also apply.
As for the sixth category, called consumer immigrants, they can buy a house in our territory and obtain household registration after a certain number of years.
This is the immigration recruitment plan I have roughly set up, and through these conditions, detailed divisions are made to recruit urgently needed talents for the territory."
"Young master, the consumer immigrants you mentioned can obtain household registration as long as they buy a house in our territory?" Charles was very keenly aware of the difference.
"This sixth type of immigration will be a matter for the future. We do not accept consumer immigration now." Lin Xingchen plans to start the real estate business project after the territory has developed to a later stage.
"This is an immigration issue, and the other household registration population management is similar to what you are doing now, Barry. It is all about counting all the people. In addition to the Immigration Bureau, your subordinate agency needs to be called the Conscription Bureau. This agency is the supplement to the military department I mentioned earlier.
You register all the males in your territory from birth. Every year you only need to check the time of their birth. When they are sixteen years old, you send them a conscription letter, requiring them to arrive at the designated location within the specified time, and then the military will take them away for training.
The time and place will be negotiated between you and the military. If someone is learning magic or martial arts or is studying knowledge in school during this period, the time of enlistment can be postponed, but one thing is that they must enter the military to complete their military service as soon as they complete their studies.
The minimum age must not exceed 20 years old. If he is older than this, it means he refuses to perform military service. Those who refuse to perform military service will be punished and will not be able to work in any department of the territory, apply for territory loans, or enjoy various benefits.
And his entire family will be restricted within 30 years, and all family members will not be allowed to work in any department. "
As Lin Xingchen finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene, probably because people were terrified by the serious consequences.
Barry: As for how to clearly identify whether a person has served in the military, you need to negotiate with the military to come up with a solution. There are also some things to pay attention to regarding military service. If the person has a disability or intellectual problem, he does not have to serve in the military.
After talking about human resources, we naturally have to talk about agriculture. I turned around and began to explain Anasta's work.
"Regarding the agricultural issue, Anasta, you can't make much change. You can divide the agricultural department into two subordinate departments, one for agriculture and one for breeding. As for how to do it, you need to use your brain just like you do now."
Albert from the Tax Department will give you a brand new tax form at that time. You just need to collect taxes according to the tax form and then summarize the numbers for me.
Here is one thing I want to remind you, violent tax collection is not allowed. If you encounter someone who refuses to pay taxes, first find out whether he has money but refuses to pay or he really has no money to pay. After finding out, you can report the problem of this type of person to Barry and let them make some arrangements for these people.
If he doesn't have the money to pay, let Barry arrange a job for him according to his household registration information. If he refuses to work and pay, then confiscate all his property such as houses and land, and you can sell these things to pay the tax.
We don't keep useless people or idlers in our territory. We must make it clear that any vagrants or lazy people will be dealt with by Barry.
In short, you must ensure that everyone who lives or does business in our territory pays taxes. As for how to prove that taxes have been paid, you have to figure it out yourself.
The problem with the military is much simpler. The guards can be divided into two types. One type is full-time soldiers who take military service as their profession, and when they reach a certain age, they need to retire. The mission of the army is training and combat, and then carrying out your current patrol missions.
The second type is the security team. You can use retired soldiers to house the security team. Because of their age, they do not need to perform front-line combat missions, so they can maintain the security of the territory on the second line.
All the authority that the guard team used to handle petty thefts or help other departments arrest people was transferred to the public security team.
Uncle Luke, you must remember this. The security team will be separated from the military in the future, so there will be a considerable number of people in the security team.
In peacetime, these security teams help maintain public order and assist various departments in dealing with some violent incidents, but once war breaks out, the security teams can be transformed into the military and come under the jurisdiction of the military.
The military can only accept orders from the lord, and other departments have no right to command. In a word, you are only responsible for fighting or patrolling in the future, and you don't need to be responsible for other things.
"I understand. This way we will have more time for training." Luke nodded happily. He was very happy with this change.
There are benefits to being a soldier. If someone in a family serves in the army, it can bring some tax relief to the family. The specific matters require you, Uncle Luke, to negotiate with the tax department.
Next is the Department of Commerce. In the past, all the business of the territory was handled in the name of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, but now it is handled directly by the Department of Commerce. Charles, your job remains the same but your position has changed. Similarly, the dividends I gave you in the beginning will also have to change. Do you want to serve in the territory wholeheartedly or be a businessman acting as an agent for the territory?
I have two suggestions here. The first is that if you are in office, you will not get any dividends but the territory will give you a salary, but it will not be too much.
The advantage is that you can climb up the status of a knight. If you feel that you have been at a disadvantage, you can still serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce and your dividends will remain the same, but you will be a businessman.
"Master! I choose to work. My family has enough money to last us two lifetimes. I want to help you with some things in the Ministry of Commerce."
“Yes, the Ministry of Commerce has the power to manage trade issues in the entire territory. Here I suggest that you set up a Chamber of Commerce Registration Bureau. Anyone who wants to do business in our territory needs to register a chamber of commerce.
Even if this chamber of commerce only has one person and one gold coin, it must be registered in order to better assist the tax department in collecting taxes and better handle trade issues. As for the cost of registering the chamber of commerce, you have to figure out the specific costs yourself. It is best to make it affordable for everyone who wants to do business.
In this regard, I need you, Albert, to pay attention to the fact that there is an important node in the subsequent tax list, which is personal tax and business tax.
If this person opens a chamber of commerce, then he does not need to pay personal taxes if he pays business taxes. If he does not pay business taxes, only personal taxes can be collected.
Both business tax and personal tax have certain standards, which are determined according to one's income. I would also like to inform all of your departments that all departments' wages and income must be clearly stated and registered with the Population Resources Department in Bari, which will facilitate the tax department to collect taxes later."
The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Taxation need to communicate in a timely manner. For example, if I do business in the territory, I have to pay taxes, but how much to pay is a problem. The Ministry of Commerce needs to issue a note to all chambers of commerce for transactions, and then collect taxes according to the note.
When you are reconciling accounts, if you find that someone has evaded or avoided taxes, he or she will be required to make up the difference. If you have overcharged someone, you must return the money to them.
In a word, all tax items must be simple and clear, and all taxes must be accurate to the last penny. This is what I require of you.
"These seven departments are designed to help the territory develop more quickly. I am currently the Minister of Government Affairs, but I hope that one day one of you can take on this position and handle various matters for me so that I can study magic with peace of mind.
We have a big talent shortage now, and when we have more talents in the future, we will refine the division so that everyone's work will be easier. Everyone, work hard. Although the highest title I can confer on you as a duke is only earl, it is impossible to look at some things in the long term. "
You should go back and think carefully about the specifics, how to communicate and cooperate with other departments so that the entire territory can use every bit of its strength, instead of creating such a mess.
After this explanation, Lin Xingchen was so dry-mouthed that he didn't speak clearly about many things, but he did give a general idea. As for the following questions, they were the business of the ministers.
"Grandpa Arnold, let's discuss the legal issues when we get back." Looking at Arnold and Lin Xingchen, they were quietly discussing the follow-up matters.
With Lin Xingchen's system and institutional chart, and giving each minister the greatest authority, the entire Maple Leaf Territory was swept by the first wave of reform in the Plano continent.
There is a discussion meeting every three days, and each discussion represents the continuous improvement of the system. Although this weird system makes Lin Xingchen feel uncomfortable, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Let everyone adapt to this model first, and then carry out some better institutional reforms. This is a long game, and Lin Xingchen has plenty of time to play.
On the first day of December, the sky in Maple Leaf Territory was very considerate and it did not snow. Lin Xingchen, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, stood in front of the window looking at the scenery outside, but what he was thinking about was something that had nothing to do with today.
"Young master, the guests are basically all here, it's time to leave." The maid's voice brought Lin Xingchen back to his senses.
"Let's go. They are probably getting impatient."
At the stairs on the second floor, Lin Xingchen was waiting for another protagonist of today.
