Chapter 512: tax reform one
【Steel, guns and the industrial party across the world】【】
Hansel Abbott hummed a ditty and left his office briskly.
Just now, people from the Lord's Mansion came to inform that Earl Graham was going to call the heads of various ministries of the Government Affairs Council for a meeting.
Hansel has been in a pretty good mood recently.
Last month, Earl Gerd Rodney, the heir to the throne, came to Lake Town to represent the royal family to discuss business with his current boss, Paul Greiman. It was very lucky that Hansel took the lead in the introduction Fortunately, the two earls had a happy talk in the end, and Gerd Rodney left a special letter to thank him. This flattered Hansel, after all, Gerd Rodney was at the top of the list of royal heirs.
As for why Earl Gerd asked Hansel to introduce him, it was because Sir Hansel Abbott had another identity besides the agricultural director of the Arda Government Council—the representative of the royal family in the Northwest Gulf.
Hansel used to be deeply proud of this identity, but now he has slowly pondered the taste. The so-called royal commissioner, most likely because when the guards of Jingyao City rebelled, Her Royal Highness Catherine had no place to accommodate those noble children who ran from Jingyao to her army to "serve" voluntarily, so the title of royal commissioner was newly created. , kicked these noble children to all over the country, so that they can't be seen.
Otherwise, why...why...hasn't a single copper salary been paid to him until now?
Otherwise, why does the head of the intelligence department who stays in Jingyao, who is nominally the boss of the royal commissioners from all over the country, always look like he doesn't care every time he sees him.
Alas, if it was really the talent Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine was looking for, she would have been left to serve in the army at that time, such as her old classmate Matthew.
After the counter-insurgency war ended, Matthew even took advantage of this qualification to be directly favored by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to help him obtain a coveted position.
And he was blown in the northwest bay.
Thinking of this, Hansel's heart was blocked for a while, and his steps were not very brisk. He shook his head hastily, shaking these unpleasant memories out of his mind.
His mind returned to Lord Gerd Rodney, who, as the King's nephew, was theoretically second in line to His Majesty's heir - after his father.
Aldo's current king has only two daughters, and Aldo's history has never had a female succession to the throne, so the crown is likely to fall on the head of His Majesty's younger brother, and Gerd is the eldest son of the king's younger brother , then if nothing unexpected happens, the crown will most likely end up on Gerd's head.
The reason why he is said to be the second heir is that if something happens to Gerd's father, the crown will fall directly on his head.
This should have been the case, but the existence of Princess Catherine made the above program variable. When Hansel was still in Jingyao, the capital of the king, there were rumors that the king very much hoped that his outstanding eldest daughter would inherit the throne.
Will the king change the centuries-old tradition for his daughter? If His Majesty the King has this plan, will the nobles accept his arrangement?
Hansel shook his head again, and expelled these thoughts from his mind. No matter whether His Majesty the King has such plans, no matter whether the nobles think so, it is not his turn to be dispatched to the border area, with a half "low" The lower nobles of blood speak.

Now his desire to return to King Capital Jingyao is not as enthusiastic as before. In Huxin Town, he was the respected director of the Government Affairs Council and one of the top officials appointed by the lord. When he returned to Jingyao, he would immediately return to his former embarrassing status and become one of the Aldo nobles. shame.
If it was when he first came here more than four years ago, the sight of Arda at that time would have made him feel a huge gap, but now Arda, no, even the entire Northwest Gulf, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Yes, this is still the frontier of the kingdom, but it has become the "rich" frontier of the kingdom.
Take a look at the wide and straight avenue running through the north and south of Huxin Town. It is paved with smooth and flat stone slabs of the same size.
Hansel had never seen such a street in any other city in the kingdom except Jingyao, the capital of the kingdom. The streets in other cities are mostly earthy, and the better ones are covered with a layer of gravel, which becomes muddy and difficult to pass when it rains.
"Sword Comes"
The sanitation situation is even worse. You can see almost any kind of garbage on the streets of other cities, even human and animal feces. Walking on the street, you have to endure or get used to those unspeakable smells.
On the streets of Huxin Town, the Government Affairs Council set up a special organization to manage the sanitation of the streets, paid people to break them up every day, and issued laws to severely punish those who destroy public health. With all kinds of strong measures, the sanitation situation on the streets of Huxin Town can be said to be the best in Aldo without exaggeration. In this respect, even King Capital Jingyao is hard to come by.
On such a road, the carriages of goods constitute a continuous river~www.readwn.com~ The traffic is so busy that the Government Affairs Council has to formulate traffic rules that are very complicated in the eyes of outsiders. Public safety The Ministry also sent people to stand guard at various intersections, using a set of unified and standardized hand gestures to immediately guide passing vehicles on how to pass.
The current Huxin Town is a prosperous city, and it is not the kind of static prosperity, but showing a trend of increasing prosperity. The city has a strong manufacturing industry, with new factories and buildings going up every day, and people coming from surrounding areas and further afield to make a living every day.
Of course, the busyness of the north-south main road is mainly concentrated in the new urban area on the south bank of Lake Weiss, while in Huxin Town—the real Huxin Town, the small island surrounded by lake water—this section is still very empty.
Because of the specially demarcated administrative area here, the original low-rise residential buildings have been replaced by office buildings of the Government Affairs Council, and the original residents have also been moved to the new urban area, and beautiful buildings have been used as compensation.
After the size of the Government Affairs Council became larger and larger, those important departments, such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, etc., all had their own independent office areas or buildings.
The Ministry of Agriculture, which Hansel is in charge of, works in a three-story building, and the entire building belongs to their Ministry of Agriculture.
Because all the departments are concentrated on a small island, the distance between each other is not far away. It is very convenient for officials to stroll on the street and communicate with the people they meet across departments when they are not working. .
