Chapter 359 Treaty against Alabasta

On the Infinity.

Now the entire ship has completely entered the first half of the Great Route. This speed is already considered the fastest pace. But this time since everyone has come out, it is natural to go and see another one of their strongholds.

Alabasta is the economic lifeline that carries 1/3 of the Tru Empire. Although it has been managed by Losstar, even though five years have passed quietly, everything is still as planned before.

Even after five years of development in Alabastan, all the factories in the Tru Empire still have not paid any taxes. The only reason is to use the previous contract as an excuse to ask the Alabastan country to start Pay those costs for the construction of basic works.

In fact, it is revealed that the factories and infrastructure projects built by the empire here are already making the economy of the country of Alabasta grow day by day. Although they cannot get the taxes from those factories, the economy driven by these factories has still made Alabasta a big economy. The Palestinian state is making a lot of money.

Although it is not as much as the fraction that the Tru Empire received, it can at least make Alabasta many times richer than it was five years ago.

But at the same time, this country was no longer willing to let so much money flow into the Tru Empire as before, and its inner dissatisfaction had even increased with the bewitchment of those ministers.

"Minister Losstadt, we have clearly agreed before that we will not charge any taxes from the Tru Empire within five years. After five years, we will follow the normal taxation of the country of Alabasta. Why are you going back on your promise now? "

In the main hall of the Alabasta Palace, the fat minister Zuo pointed at Luosta and said angrily.

I don’t know how many times they communicated and quarreled, but every time Losa acted almost as he was.

"Minister Zuo, and of course King Kobra, little brother, this time has not passed long. Don't forget that the Tru Empire also signed a treaty with you. The Tru Empire invests 150 billion beli every year to assist Alabasta. For the development of the country and the improvement of people's livelihood in Alabasta, all industrial and commercial facilities of the Tru Empire in Alabasta are exempted from tax for five years.

At the same time, don’t forget that there is another treaty signed, that is, our Tru Empire needs to charge targeted fees for infrastructure construction. However, when the early signing was made, we have already informed you that the implementation of all projects can be carried out by the Tru Empire first. To pay the cost, Alabasta will need to deduct it from taxes in the later period, or directly pay the corresponding infrastructure construction costs.

So far, these infrastructure projects include road projects, hydropower projects, desert greening and seawater desalination projects, totaling about 150 projects.

Up to now, the total fees paid for various facilities are about 580 billion beli. According to the tax treaty signed by the Tru Empire with the country of Alabasta in the early stage, the Tru Empire commercial industry does not need to pay anything to Alabasta under the non-profit status. Tax expenses, under the net profit, are based on a fixed tax of 3% per year like Alabasta.

Calculated based on the current industrial and commercial profits of the Tru Empire in Alabasta, last year's net profit only reached less than 5 trillion beli, and the construction of these basic projects in the later period also included Maintenance, warranty costs, etc. have not yet been calculated, but if the current situation continues to develop, it will only take five years for all these costs to reach a flat state. "

Luosta stared at King Kobra sitting on it with a smile and said with a smile.

They had already planned this kind of thing, and no matter how many times they talked about it, it probably wouldn't have any effect.

Everything has been signed in black and white. No matter how dissatisfied Kobra and the princes and ministers of Alabasta are, the outcome of the facts has been determined, so what if they are dissatisfied?

Minister Zuo was so moved that he held his chest after what Luosta said. He really didn't know how to deal with the next words. King Kobra, who was sitting on top, also had the same expression.

"You said that we have been arguing about this matter from last year to this year. It is really unnecessary. You have also seen the development of Alabasta in the past few years. The royal family's current income should be compared with previous years. Is it going to increase many times? The emergence of the Tru Empire will only make Alabasta a better living environment. It will take us up to five years to directly change all your deserts into oases. .

Isn't this what you want? "

Losa stared at Kobra seriously and asked.

"You are right. There was indeed a treaty signed before, but can you take a look at the current situation? The Tru Empire is now so rich that it is the envy of all countries in the world, but if you look back at Alaba In today’s national life in Stan, who’s money in anyone’s pocket has not returned to the hands of your Tru Empire?”

Minister Zuo asked angrily.

"I don't want to discuss the same topic many times. As the Minister of Commerce of the Tru Empire stationed in the country of Alabasta, I often need to clarify my position. I also hope that you, the country of Alabasta, can do the same. Think about the problem from your own standpoint, and don't do such noisy things for nothing. In the end, it will just make everyone feel ridiculous."

Losta said.

"Let this be like this, and no one should mention it again."

Kobra frowned and said calmly.

He really doesn't want to discuss this kind of thing anymore. From last year to this year, he discussed it almost ten times, but every time it was the same topic repeated, and it ended up being nothing. But I guess if we can't discuss this kind of topic, we may still discuss it. Being brought up again, even though everyone knows that there will be no better results, this situation is nothing more than an expression of inner anger.

This time the Infinity came to the country where Alabasta is located, and did not choose to go directly to the royal palace of Alabasta. Instead, it went directly to the Rapeseed Port. This place has now been built into a very beautiful place by Lossta. The port is located. After arriving here, the palm trees and various flowers and plants planted on both sides of the port are really hard to believe that it can be compared with the previous desert land.
