Britain has always been known for its excessive tax burden, not only the normal taxes such as commodity transaction tax and personal income tax, but also the war tax and poll tax, and the last Natal rebellion was because of the poll tax imposed by the Natal colonial government.

It was precisely because of the Natal rebellion that Roque had just mentioned the war tax, and Ade immediately subconsciously opposed it.

"The war tax is not a poll tax, those Africans don't have much money in the first place, and the average annual income is only three or five rands, forcing them to pay the poll tax is forcing them to rebel, we are leviing a war tax on the propertied class, those families with an average annual income of more than 100 rand, or family assets of more than 1,000 rand, these families have high incomes and rich assets, even if they charge more, they will not rebel." Roque is really steady, and this knife is accurate and ruthless.

"The middle class doesn't have much money, so it's better to go directly to large-scale enterprises, especially those that specialize in import and export." Ade was teased, according to this standard, the estimated number of people eligible to pay taxes in southern Africa was only a handful of people such as Roque Jr. Christian.

"No, I can't collect it, and if I find a big company to collect war taxes, the National Assembly will not agree." Roque is serious, the Nyasaland Agricultural Company and the South African Company spend millions of dollars a year on public relations is not used to raise pigs.

Democracy is a good thing, but in fact, everyone knows that the federal parliamentarians in southern Africa have financiers behind them, and no matter how good these financiers say before they are elected, they will not serve the voters wholeheartedly after they are elected, and the financiers are the bosses behind the parliamentarians.

Relatively speaking, it is better to be a state councilor or a city councilor, after all, these councilors are at least from the state, and if they go too far, someone will really smash the glass of his house at night.

"Why don't you agree, the federal government can better protect the interests of you capitalists by maintaining a strong military." Ade bluntly said that these large enterprises in southern Africa are actually richer than the federal government, and many of the federal government's expenditures are necessary and unavoidable, but these large enterprises have countless ways to avoid taxes.

"No, the federal government maintains a strong military to protect all southern Africans, and it should not be paid for by big business." Roque resolutely speaks for himself, and he does not budge an inch when interests are involved.

", I'm upset when I see you." Ade, the face of the capitalist is too ugly.

"Wouldn't it, the prime minister will also curse?" Roque was really surprised, he hadn't seen Ade lose his temper after knowing Ade for so long.

In less than an hour, the entire Prime Minister's office knew that Viscount Nyasaland was kicked out of the office by Viscount Halewood, but no one thought that Roque's fall from grace was about to be thrown into the cold palace, on the contrary, it fully proved that Roque's saint was in good spirits.

At night, even Ida knew.

"What does it feel like to be kicked out of the office?" Ada's tone was not without envy, Alfred Milnardo was gentle and gentle, and he was so angry that Roque scolded Roque for not being dismissed, this kind of treatment, many officials want to line up to enjoy.

"It's not very good, so I came to you for comfort." Roque didn't take it to heart, and he wouldn't be complacent because of being scolded, and he wasn't a masochist.

Ida lives in the castle used to be used by the Ministry of Finance, this castle has changed hands several times over the years, after Ida became the director of the General Administration of Taxation, the castle was renovated again, and then he lived here with peace of mind, and the amazing thing is that no one has criticized it.

Roque is in a high position, and the power of the director of the State Administration of Taxation is not small, and others must avoid suspicion, but Ida does not need it.

"Where?" Ada's glance at her spoon was a little too explicit.

"The Ministry of Defense won't be able to pay next month's salary—" Roque lamented in his heart, presumably selling his hue to solve the problem.

"How can someone like Derek Perchens qualify for the post of Financial Secretary of the Department of Defense? If he was at the RAND Bank, he would be a lobby manager at most. Ida immediately relented, and teasing men should be stopped in moderation.

The officials of the federal government are tragic to say, although southern Africa, like the United Kingdom, has a civil service, but it is also amazing that there are still illiterate officials in southern Africa.

Derek Perchens is certainly not illiterate, and he is also a top student at the University of Bristol, but he was at the University of Bristol twenty years ago, and he still studied law, and he is really not very proficient in finance, and his ability in this area is similar to what Ida said, maybe he is not as good as a graduate of the University of Nyasaland majoring in accounting.

Not probably, yes, the University of Bristol was founded in 1876, 20 years ago it was the University College of Bristol, and only last year after merging with several other schools to change its name to the current University of Bristol.

"So what, Elvis can't even spell his own name correctly, he's the same director of education." Roque was also helpless, when the federal government was established, there were very few qualified officials, and people like Derek Pershings who went to college were high-quality talents.

As for Elvis, this guy has now become the laughing stock of the federal government, and about three months ago, Elvis misspelled his name when he signed a document that appeared in the National Department of Education.

Now Elvis has been forced to resign, but this incident has become the laughing stock of the federal government, and the image of federal government officials has been greatly affected.

With the development of southern Africa, more and more highly educated young people are working in the federal government, these young people are energetic, enthusiastic, and full of enterprising spirit.

"Did you hear that? Minister Smozi is going to work in London—" Ida reported good news.

"Really?" Roque was overjoyed.

This is indeed good news, Jan Smozi and Roque looked at each other unpleasantly when they met for the first time, all along, the Ministry of Education has been the key monitoring unit of the Ministry of Justice, to put it mildly, Roque has been eager to get rid of it quickly, but unfortunately it has not been able to get rid of it, and now Yang Smozi is actually leaving, which is simply an unexpected surprise.

"Prime Minister Esquith has invited Minister Smoth to serve as an adviser to the Cabinet." Ida is well-informed, and Jan Smoltz is indeed influential in London.

In Roque's consciousness, Jan Smoltz had always been a Boer, but in fact Jan Smoltz was not, although Jan Smoltz's father was a Boer, but Jan Smoltz was a pure Englishman born in the Cape.

Jan Smoltz had a bad relationship with Cecil Rhodes, and Jan Smotz accepted Paul Kruger's invitation to become Minister of Justice of the Transvaal Republic at the age of 28, and became a commander of the Boer coalition forces after the outbreak of the Boer War.

After the end of the Boer War, Jan Smoltz went to London several times to obtain loans, and the autonomy of southern Africa was inseparable from Jan Smoltz's efforts, but Jan Smoltz did not want to make southern Africa independent, but wanted to establish a southern Africa with close ties with the British.

In a way, Jan Smozi and Roque have similar thoughts, maybe they are the same kind of people, so they will pinch as soon as they meet.

"Nice post." Roque raised his hands in agreement, since he can't be friends, then don't stay together and respond to others, how good it is to stay far away.

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than staying in the Ministry of Education." Ida told the truth, it was indeed not easy for Jan Smozi to hold on until now, and it was replaced by Roque who left early.

In another time and space, when the federal government of Southern Africa was established, Jan Smoltz held many important positions such as Minister of Defense and Minister of Justice.

Because of Roque's involvement, Jan Smozi went to the Ministry of Education.

If there was no comparison between the public education in Nyasaland and the Transvaal, then Jan Smotz's life would have been better, but the public education in Nyasaland and the Transvaal was very good, and then Jan Smotz was forced to sit on wax, and no matter how hard he tried, the public education in the other states of southern Africa was not comparable to that of the Transvaal in Nyasaland.

"Shi Mozi's personal ability is no problem, he has a problem with the direction of his efforts, the direction is wrong, the more he does, the more he makes mistakes." Roque is not pitiful, Jan Smozi's mistake lies in his attitude towards the Chinese, even if the strength of the Chinese is getting stronger and stronger, Jan Smozi still can't accept it, the reason why Orange is so stubborn has a lot to do with Jan Smozi.

"Then you have to be careful-" Ida definitely took a stand with Roque, Jan Smozi went to London, and was indeed capable of causing trouble for Roque.

"It's fine." Roque is as stable as Mount Tai, Jan Smozi has a relationship in London, and Roque is not no one in the court, and if he wants to make trouble for Roque, he will pass the two levels of Winston and Neville first.

"What should I do next, do I want to go to the Ministry of Education and become a minister?" Since Roque said it was okay, then Ida was fine, and her tone was as relaxed as if the federal government was their family's mom-and-pop shop.

"Look at the Prime Minister's arrangement, if the Prime Minister can't find someone to take over, it doesn't matter if he goes." Roque doesn't care, the Ministry of Education should indeed be rectified, and the fact that the director misspelled his name is too outrageous.

Under the leadership of Yang Shi Mozi, the work of the Ministry of Education is a mess, which cannot be said that Yang Shi Mozi's ability is not good, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Yang Shi Mozi has no one to use, and there are too many old subordinates to take care of, so the Ministry of Education is getting worse.

If Roque is in charge of the Ministry of Education, not to mention anything else, Roque, the official of the Ministry of Education now, will definitely have to replace more than half, aren't the graduates of the University of Nyasaland fragrant?
