A healthy society should ensure that all levels of society have smooth channels for upward mobility.

The meaning of "upward channel" here is not to ascend to the sky in one step, the social structure of the pyramid situation, the higher the number of people goes up, the more difficult it is to rise.

It is not so easy to achieve class leaping, with the development of society, there will be fewer and fewer examples of Cecil Rhodes getting rich overnight, most of the people at the bottom can become the middle class through hard work, and the middle class may enter the upper class through hard work, which is the normal class leap.

Those who delusionally want to get rich overnight in one step, as well as those who complain about the solidification of social classes, the widening wealth gap, and the narrower and narrower upward channel, are either stupid or bad, it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step, and the rising channel is getting narrower and narrower in itself, there is nothing to complain about, there is time to complain, it is better to work hard to improve yourself, so that there is the possibility of class crossing.

The same is true in Nyasaland, where at the top of the pyramid is Roque, down are the Chinese management led by Barker, Duncan, Anton, Martin, and Gordon, and then down are the white technicians led by Rudolf Diesel, Isaiah Ulysses (officer of the Northern Rhodesian Division), Elijah Lucas (specialist of Christian Exploration Company), etc., and ordinary Chinese are at the bottom of society.

In this case, on the issue of determining the future and fate of Nyasaland, if an ordinary low-level Chinese has the same right to speak as Buck and Anton, it is simply a joke, whether it is in terms of contribution or personal ability, Buck and Anton themselves should have more right to speak.

The management board is headed by Buck, and Anton Martin, Rudolph Diesel, Michael Nichols (RAND Bank), Jeffrey Benson (Tractor Factory), Andrew Whitman (Truck Factory), Nelson Morley (Arsenal) are all members of the management board.

Compared with the general parliament, the governing committee of Nyasaland is very different in the form of formation, the general sense of the members of the parliament are elected, and the governing committee of Nyasaland is directly appointed by Roque, to become a member of the governing committee of Nyasaland, the prestige alone does not play a decisive role, and the contribution to Nyasaland is the main factor.

Roque attended the first meeting of the Governing Council, which established the responsibilities of the Governing Council in the form of law, and like the general parliament, from the day of its establishment, the Governing Council had the right to legislate, form the army, and establish relevant functional bodies.

As a result, the now enacted Public Order Regulations became the first law in Nyasaland and the name was changed to the Nyasaland Penal Code, which led to the establishment of the Nyasaland Courts and the Transvaaland lawyer Kevin Mullen became the first Lord Chancellor of Nyasaland.

Kevin Mullen is the cooperative lawyer of the umbrella company, in the expansion process of the umbrella company, Kevin Mullen played a very key role, Roque admires Kevin Mullen's adaptability, not to mention that the judge must be upright, most of the time, the judge should take into account the balance of law and feelings in the trial of the case, the degree between this is difficult to grasp, biased towards the law will often appear impersonal, biased towards feelings, and it is impossible to maintain the justice of the law, so the position of the chief justice is very important, and Roque is also a multi-party trade-off, It was decided to make Kevin Mullen a justice.

Of course, in order to check and balance Kevin Mullen's power, Kevin Mullen is not a member of the management committee.

In other words, it is important that Kevin Mullen has no say in determining the fate of Nyasaland, and that Kevin Mullen is only an executor, not a decision-maker.

At present, Nyasaland has only one law, the Criminal Code, which has not yet been recognized by the British government, so in the future, Nyasaland still has a heavy task in terms of legislation.

Considering the need for legislation, Roque set up a "**** meeting" again, and this time Kevin Mullen became the chairman of the **** meeting, and their main task was to improve the "Criminal Law", and other aspects of the law were not in a hurry.

The first administrative body established by the Board of Management was the Tax Department.

Funny to say, before that, there was no tax office in Nyasaland, and all business activities in Nyasaland were not subject to tax.

This situation definitely needs to change, business activities aside, the first task of the Nyasaland Revenue Authority is to determine the personal income tax, which is also the first tax in Nyasaland.

In Nyasaland, the income gap is still very obvious, with the highest-paid Buck earning £1,500 a year, and the lowest-paid average farm worker earning only £36 a year, a difference of nearly 42 times.

The tax determined by the tax bureau is implemented according to the proportion of income, the lower the income, the lower the proportion of personal income tax to personal income, the higher the income, the higher the proportion of personal income tax to personal income, farm workers may only need to pay 10% of their income as personal income tax every year, and Barker, the chairman of the management committee, has to pay personal income tax every year, accounting for 55% of Buck's personal annual income.

In other words, Buck's annual personal income tax is £825.

This seems to be a bit much, but it is the main means of mediating the income gap between individuals, the tax collected by the tax will not be used to subsidize low-income families, but will be used for public infrastructure investment, Nyasaland basically does not have low-income families, as long as there are hands and feet, food and clothing is still not a problem.

Of course, if you want to increase your income, you need to work harder, farm workers can strive to become technicians, factory workers can strive to become engineers, Nyasaland will provide all kinds of facilities for those who want to progress, if you really don't want to make progress, but if you don't want to make progress and complain about the unfair distribution mechanism of society, then you need to be prepared for labor education.

Yes, in Nyasaland, "re-education through labor" is the main form of punishment, except in isolated cases where the crime is so heinous that not killing is not enough to outrage the people, and most of the time, in Nyasaland, breaking the law will be subject to re-education through labor in prison.

There is no such thing as "mediation" in Nyasaland, and if the law is violated, you will be punished, and if the circumstances are serious, you will go to the streets and paste the boxes, so as to get the living expenses during the imprisonment, otherwise you will starve, there is no condition to talk about this.

In addition to personal income tax, commercial tax is also soon on the agenda.

At present, there is almost no commercial activity in Nyasaland, and several large enterprises in the country, such as tractor factories, truck factories, and arsenals, are actually planned economic models, and the products produced are almost internally digested, and they are not sold to the outside world for profit, so there are very few commercial taxes.

In addition to these large enterprises, Nyasaland also has a large number of supporting enterprises, these supporting enterprises are the bulk of commercial taxes, the current business model of Nyasaland, probably is the coexistence of planned economy and market economy, in a short period of time, Nyasaland business does not generate much tax, now is to set the rules first, the future will have a law to follow.

It is worth mentioning that the director of the Nyasaland Revenue Department is Zuo Whale, and Buck is also a good person, and directly used "Brad" as the team to form the Nyasaland Revenue Authority.

Well, the same group of people are responsible for the tax work and security work in Nyasaland, and it will be difficult to evade taxes in Nyasaland in the future.

On 5 February, after many mediations, the Belgian Government and Nyasaland reached an agreement to resolve the border dispute, under which the Belgian Government recognized that Lake Mweru (known as East Lake Nyasaland) belonged to Nyasaland as a whole, and sold to Nyasaland the 30,000-square-kilometre southern salient, including Lubumbashi, to Nyasaland, for which Nyasaland had to pay the Belgian Government 30,000 pounds.

One pound per square kilometer, this price is really cheap, including Lubumbashi, in addition to the unknown copper mines, there are also huge plantations, these plantations are planted with natural rubber, which is very important for the industrial development of Nyasaland, let alone 30,000 pounds, even if it is 300,000 pounds, Roque is willing to buy.

After getting Lubumbashi, Roque was surprised to find that the territory of current Nyasaland, south to Port Edward, north to the North Sea, west to Lubumbashi, and east to Nyasaland, has been quite vast.

Although there were no remote sensing satellites at this time, Roque could not determine how many square kilometers of Nyasaland's territory was, but Roque estimated that there should be no less than half a million.

This territory is staggering, Zimbabwe in the 21st century is only 390,000 square kilometers, and Nyasaland now seems to be much larger than Zimbabwe.

At the end of February, the car developed by Bobby Holt was finally finalized after several adjustments, and the site of the car factory was directly located in Port Edward.

The new sedan uses a 35-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engine, and compared with all the cars of this era, the new sedan is undoubtedly more in line with Roque's aesthetics, most of the cars in this era are similar to the tractors of the sixties, basically there is no aesthetic at all, the sedan developed by Bobby Holt is similar in appearance to the Willis jeep launched by the American Willis Motor Company in 1940.

Of course, in terms of performance, there is a huge gap between the sedan developed by Bobby Holt and the Willis Jeep, but this does not affect the final shape of the sedan.

Roque doesn't care about performance, anyway, the current sedan is not ready to be sold, finalization is only the first step, and then it will continue to improve, continue to develop and further pursue stability and more excellent performance, Roque has always been a never-ending requirement in this regard.
