Chapter Ninety-Nine: Accident (2)
The second, third, and fourth large circles were boring and boring, and after completing the second circle, Patrick took a few days off to review the next month's work.
"1. This month, the Sun Temple has added a total of 668 members of administration, taxation, finance, mage and other groups, among the members, the members of the Cabolon clan and the Windranger clan account for the largest proportion, but the proportion does not exceed 50%, and the rest of the new members are recruited from all over the world, and they all say that it is an honor to serve the master."
Things in the Temple of the Sun are on the right track, a large number of aspiring and thoughtful elves have come to contribute to the tomorrow of their dreams, the elves need vitality so much, Patrick knows better than anyone what an efficient and rapid social environment can do for development.
"2. The plan of the Temple of the Sun has been completed, including the new cultivated land to be reclaimed in the future, the preliminary urban construction, the tax standard, and the housing arrangement. There is also the newly arrived Congressman Garlind Charlon, who also gave a resettlement plan for the Ranger troops, which requires Chief Patrick's approval. ”
Judging from the map, the urban construction map is completed, and it is planned to be a city of sunlight. And the entire area around the Tower of Daylight, arable land has been prepared to grow food and crops, and the newly prepared farm has also been built, and it is expected that the first harvest will be available this year, and the preliminary tax details have been implemented for a while, and the tax rate is lower than that of Silvermoon City and the Sun Temple, and the middle class and merchants are more willing to come here.
But looking closely at the collection of taxes, Patrick couldn't help frowning, the composition of taxes, and the additional tax rates have been changed, as well as new supplementary provisions, which obviously treat those large trading companies and clans differently.
If Patrick agrees to these things, in the future development, slowly businessmen will pay tribute to parliamentarians for political donations, and parliamentarians will seek greater benefits for businessmen through the power in their hands, so that you come and go, which will lead to the formation of a large monopoly class, and social mobility will be solidified again, and power will be generated by power, and power will be obtained by money, which is contrary to Patrick's original intention.
Although in the Sun Temple, Patrick's initial stipulation only charged taxes on the value-added parts and transactions, satisfying the interests of most people, but in the eyes of other elves, especially those big trading companies from Silvermoon City, they didn't think so, in their eyes, the donation was reasonable and legal, this was not collusion, this was legitimate income. But in the eyes of Patrick, an elf with an earthly soul, none of this makes sense.
Therefore, in Patrick's eyes, the demographic pattern of Silvermoon City is very strange, and the normal and reasonable social classification should be in the form of rugby, that is, the middle class is the majority, the rich and the poor occupy only a small part of the two poles, and the majority of the population is the middle class, so as to realize the vitality of society and have expectations for the future.
And the social classification of Silvermoon City is just the opposite, the middle class belongs to a minority, or even a sparse part, a large number of population composition occupies the two poles, in Silvermoon City can basically be said to be only rich and poor, middle class? It is so rare that it doesn't exist, so the ordinary elves in the entire Silvermoon City are only interested in pleasure, and for the common people, there is only pleasure.
"Idonis." Patrick directly uses magic to transmit his voice, summoning Idonis, the chief operating officer of the Mage Tower.
"Lord Patrick."
"We will send a notice to all the executive directors of the decision-making council, as well as the heads of various departments, and immediately come to the headquarters of the decision-making council on the fifth floor and hold a plenary meeting."
Quirintis and Candires and Yanida were the first to arrive, as well as a group of department heads who had been working for half a year, Patrick was the highest level in the region, and listening to the will of the master would make everyone better serve the ambassador.
"I've been experimenting with magic for a while, but I'm a little dissatisfied with the latest financial statements and government affairs reports."
The crowd was silent, waiting for the next step.
Patrick cleared his throat and continued: "Compared to most of you who are ordinary clans or elves who don't have clans, I myself am also a member of an ordinary clan, but I have a skill in the family and live a little rich, most of the elves have lived in Silvermoon City, have we lived in Silvermoon City, and what do we have?" ”
"The answer is obvious, nothing, no matter how hard you try, you can't compare to the background of Sunwing and Morrowind, so I want to break this stubborn disease in our lives. As you can see, where we put a lot of emotion into it, it's moving at a jaw-dropping pace, so I don't want to see anyone break the rules of our healthy development. ”
Finally, Patrick concludes the essay: "From now on, I will expressly prohibit the collection of contributions, and any member of parliament, in any form, who collects contributions without permission, will be disqualified from resolution." ”
In the end, Patrick did not forget to add: "If you want to get a high position, strength and political achievements are the most pertinent choices." ”
"Lorne-Flow."
Lorne-Liuge: "The subordinates are here." ”
"The Observer Organization under your control has the right to monitor all members and institutions, but if a member of the Observer violates this rule, the offense will be increased by one degree. We are going to make the entire new city of sunlight shine in the northern continent. ”
Patrick's message is very clear, no one is perfect, and it is inevitable that there will be times when you make mistakes, but it is just a warning that you are a first-time offender, but from now on, those that were once legitimate income will be illegalized, and those interests hidden under treaties and rules will be nullified. Patrick did this just to knock the mountain and give everyone a wake-up call.
There is only one thing that these first followers understand, that is, although we are different from the rules of Silvermoon City, as the earliest followers, Patrick has never been in the habit of treating himself badly, good alchemy recipes, magic books, arcane treasures, Patrick does not have any private collections in the library, and the formulation of borrowing rules is also fully responsible for Idonis and the mages.
What Patrick wanted was a new elven society, an upward social ethos, that would reject the so-called aristocracy and eliminate the decadent ethos.
Everyone was ordered to leave, and all the inaugurated executive directors understood the environment of Silvermoon City, and did not show dissatisfaction, they had followed Patrick in the Sun Temple for many years, and their own development also had a "first-mover" advantage, and after the meeting ended, everyone returned to their posts.
