"Damn politics again!" Anthony cursed and drank his glass, then coughed violently, "Holy! What kind of wine is this...... Ahem...... Oh, my God! What kind of poison did you give me, this horrible liquid is burning in my throat! ”

"Take it easy, it's not some poison, just a glass of premium vodka from the Kitlands." Roland couldn't help but smile and handed Anthony a glass of water, the specialty liquor on the plateau, the degree is so high that it is close to medical alcohol, even the Kitland man does not dare to take a big sip of cow drink, Anthony, a little white face who does not know the height of the sky, is actually bored, and he is lucky not to choke and faint on the spot.

Anthony drank a large glass of cold boiled water, the burning sensation in his throat subsided slightly, but his head began to daz, and he looked up at the ceiling, as if it was spinning. Determined, he tried to concentrate and think about the implicit meaning of Roland's words just now.

"Since it is for political purposes to win the support of farmers, I will not say anything about your tax cut plan, but the financial problems still exist, how do you plan to make up for the huge shortfall?"

"Actually, there is no special way, it is just to issue treasury bonds." Roland replied indifferently.

"National debt ......," Anthony burped and patted his forehead in an attempt to dispel the drunkenness, "Can you tell me more about how to do it, maybe I can help." ”

"I plan to issue a group of fixed-rate bonds for a period of five years, and I have contacted several financial institutions with good relationships, and I plan to form an underwriting group, and it should not be a problem to digest it internally.

Roland did not disclose the specific institutions that participated in the syndicate, and Anthony did not ask any questions, fixed his mind, and then asked Roland: "Is the interest rate convenient to disclose?" How much? ”

Roland smiled, picked up a pen and wrote down a string of numbers on the paper.

Anthony's eyes straightened the moment his eyes touched the paper, and after a while, he couldn't hide his surprise and said, "Such a low interest rate...... Is it possible? Don't fool me! ”

"The underwriting agency has no opinion, as far as I am concerned, I think this interest rate is too high," Roland shrugged helplessly, "There is no way, I am in a hurry to use the money, so I can only give a little more blood." ”

"Whew! At this level of debt interest is too high, what do you think you are......" Anthony gritted his teeth, and for a moment could not find enough vicious words to describe this pretending criminal who should be struck by lightning.

Roland was not angry, and calmly said to him: "I am not a great person, just a salesman who can sell at least 100 million gold Duga Far Eastern government bonds at this kind of bond interest." ”

"100 million gold duga, at least?!" Anthony's eyes were dark and he almost fainted, "What are you kidding, I don't believe you can really sell so many bonds!" How do you convince creditors that the Kolas government will be able to make their payments on time? With your stupid trick of cutting half of the agricultural tax, if I were a creditor, I wouldn't have bought your junk bonds! ”

"I won't hit you, I'll convince you." Roland's smile was still so charming, but at the moment it made Anthony feel very disgusted, "I have a detailed 'repayment plan manual', one of which explains why I want to cut taxes on farmers, why more agricultural taxes can be levied after the tax cuts, and my creditors had similar concerns to you at first, but now they have been convinced by me, do you want to try it?" ”

Anthony felt his scalp tingle for some reason, took a deep breath and calmed down, making sure that he was not controlled by a charm spell before his heart was calmed for a while, avoiding Roland's bright and deep gaze, and said vigilantly: "Show me your repayment plan manual, if it is really as reasonable as you say, I will write to my father and ask him to consider the feasibility of participating in the underwriting of Far Eastern government bonds." ”

Roland looked at him slightly, with a smile in his eyes: "This is exactly what I expected, but is it really okay for Fogel Bank to buy Far Eastern government bonds?" Does this count as treason? ”

Anthony sneered and said angrily: "If you can really round that big lie about agricultural taxes, what is the purchase of enemy bonds by Fogel Bank!" ”

Roland opened the drawer, took out a thick brown paper document bag and handed it to Anthony, laughing and teasing: "Relax, you will be my creditor next time we meet, will you be happier like this?" ”

"Thinking like this, I suspect that my brain is in water, I really don't understand where you got your confidence!" Anthony snorted, tucked the file bag under his armpit and turned to leave.

……

The day after the meeting with Anthony, Roland presented the revised "Five-Year Plan for Rural Governance and Agricultural Development" to the cabinet, emphasizing two points: first, the construction of rural administration, the implementation of "royal power to the countryside" and the "communization movement"; The second is the rural land reform, which gradually transformed the small-scale peasant economy and the feudal manor serf economy into a "state-controlled enterprise farm" model.

Roland's bill sparked a heated debate at a cabinet meeting, with Industry Secretary Zinovi and Exchequer Zahar. Prime Minister Lloyd, who has rarely spoken out, has expressed doubts about the feasibility of Roland's unconventional policies, with the most vocal skepticism focused on Roland's plan to cut taxes to implement agricultural reforms. Even Rudolph and Evgenia feared that cutting fifty percent of the agricultural tax at once would be an unbearable burden on the state finances.

Agriculture Minister Joddle had a private conversation with Roland before the cabinet deliberations, and was the first minister at the meeting to express his support for Roland. To the surprise of the Awakened ministers, Attorney General Maynard, who was also from the Club of the Awakened, also unequivocally supported Roland's reform plan, and Maynard's support became a key part of the final passage of the bill by a majority vote.

Next up were Maynard's two bills, the New Inheritance Act and the Fertility Encouragement Act. In order to hedge against the negative impact of the New Inheritance Law on the national fertility rate, Maynard also proposed to adjust the tax law to change the current personal income tax to tax household income.

Taxation is the purview of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Maynard proposed a reform of the tax law without Zahar's approval, which made Zahar very dissatisfied, and put forward fastidious reasons such as taxing household income too complicated, too costly, and there are tax evasion loopholes to oppose Maynard's bill, and Lloyd and Zinovi did not know how to take sides for a while, until Roland expressed his support for Maynard's bill, and the dispute was settled.
