Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2537 allows to enjoy the perfect legal system
Of course, the household registration statistics report does not only include the records of the number of residents and potential residents, but also the type of work in the territory, division of labor, number of households granted land, etc. that Xia Duo cares more about.

At present, all the preparatory citizens of the territory have been incorporated into the Development Department, and continue to develop along the [Great Xia-Saville Passage] from Codex Square to the north.

As for the official citizens, needless to say, those who have been awarded land have already lived a comfortable and comfortable life.Some of them continue to participate in the development and earn double wages; some plant their own land with peace of mind and enjoy the rich harvest every season.

Some entrusted the land to the village collective, and joined the territorial workshop, learned a craft, and worked hard to improve themselves; some had the ambition to learn magic that they had never had before, and worked hard with their children or the territorial night school study.

Some actively exercised their bodies and joined the territorial guards to guard this hard-won happy home; some continued to study the code of law in order to seek opportunities to join the government affairs department.

Of course, there are those who live actively and those who enjoy life passively, but the positivity and negativity here are just from Xia Duo’s perspective.

The people who have been awarded the land will be rewarded with a certain amount of gold coins according to the amount of meritorious service during the development period. Some people have never seen it before, let alone actually owned so many gold coins. Unrestrained pleasure.

In this regard, Xia Duo is not prepared to intervene. To be honest, the conditions that those citizens who are greedy for pleasure can enjoy now are actually not as good as the basic benefits that he could enjoy as a member of the general public in his hometown!

He just regretted that those people did not seize the opportunity of the great development of the territory, actively participated in the construction of the territory or self-study, and it would be regrettable to enjoy the future now.

But this is only his personal opinion. He is not going to impose his own ideas on everyone. He has already given some choices. It is a personal matter whether to choose or not.

As long as it does not violate the Great Xia Code, the territory can fully accommodate those who want to lie flat. In fact, just lying flat is actually very empty.

He is more inclined to think that those people in the territory are just a revenge rebound after getting rich. Once they get used to the current enjoyment, it is actually very boring.

Because there are so many things in this world that are more interesting than the enjoyment of simple sensory stimulation, such as the magic of magic, such as the vastness of the main plane and even the vast universe.

He doesn't care whether ordinary citizens are greedy for enjoyment. In many cases, the more they like to enjoy, the more they can arouse their desire for higher-level pursuits in the future.

In a civilization or a society, if the individuals in it don't even have the right to enjoy, then this civilization and this society are really low-level.

The more advanced the state of civilization, the less restrictions there are on the freedom of individuals, which of course also includes the freedom of enjoyment. The legendary distribution according to needs undoubtedly corresponds to the extremely high-level state of civilization.

At present, Xia Duo's territory is far from being distributed according to needs. As for the things that the citizens are content to enjoy now, Xia Duo feels a little sad when he sees it, that's it?
These citizens who have the opportunity to see the real prosperity are only satisfied with a small amount of sensory or vanity stimulation. How can this make Xia Duo feel sour and regretful?

If these people come up with the idea of ​​artistic creation, even if they just make up some folk songs and draw some graffiti, then Xia Duo will look up to them instead.

Of course, the people are also a little bit of awakening to high-level enjoyment. In this process, what the territory needs to do will not force them to do anything, but necessary guidance is also essential.

For example, the upcoming art festival may inject a touch of humanistic vitality into the mechanical and impetuous atmosphere of the territory.

……

As Xia Duo's most trusted territorial consul, Leiden is undoubtedly very competent in his job. In the household registration statistics report, he not only recorded in detail the current living conditions of the land-granted residents, but also put forward many suggestions on this.

For example, Layton suggested establishing a formal junior magic school in the territory for the citizens to learn magic. In addition, the night school can also expand its scale and increase daytime courses, not just law or literacy.

For example, with regard to the entrustment of land to village collectives by citizens, Leiden suggested that pilot cooperatives should be carried out in villages with more entrusted land.

Another example is that in response to the newly-emerging enjoyment atmosphere among the land-grant residents, Leiden proposed to increase the consumption tax to force that part of the residents to calm down, plan a new life, and avoid sitting and eating.

Some of Leiden’s suggestions, which do not involve the current legal changes, have already been implemented, such as cooperatives. This is what Xia Duo mentioned in the "Agricultural Book" a long time ago. Many territories in the mainland have already organized cooperatives. The Great Xia collar did not proceed under Xia Duo's instructions.

Nowadays, many local residents are unwilling to farm land, entrust the land to the village collective, and go to learn crafts to be workers themselves. If there are too many people like this in the same village, it is natural to organize cooperatives for cooperative production. Of course, this is agricultural.

When there are more people learning crafts in the village, we can also try to cooperate in industry.

After Layton saw the signs, he had already begun to implement the cooperative pilot project in the territory.

Another example is the official junior magic school and full-time school. The Ministry of Culture and Education has also started related work, but because of factors such as manpower and teaching materials, the new school is also in a pilot state.

Consumption tax is a new type of tax. Leiden's government affairs office can only formulate administrative regulations under the law. Although it will not be changed overnight, compared with the code, the regulations are still much more flexible.

As for the new tax, there is no doubt that the tax law part of the current code needs to be amended. Of course, this is not up to Leiden, and only Xia Duo has the right to amend the law.

However, seeing Xia Duo here, he did not directly make a decision. He was considering the impact of the consumption tax. The current state of development of the territory is far from the era of commodity economy, and there is no need for consumption tax to guide the direction of consumption.

His casual words may be more useful than laws written on paper.

Raising taxes rashly may give the residents a feeling of unstable life and uneasy development, and to some extent it is destroying the hearts of the people.

But this consumption tax must also be implemented. At present, the economic structure of the territory is very simple, and it can be said that it is completely in his hands. However, with the development of the territory, especially after the popularization of magic civilians, the size of the territory's economy will expand rapidly, and the structure will also change. will be more complicated.

At that time, it will not be so easy to directly intervene. It is necessary to cooperate with appropriate economic laws to carry out macro-control in the general direction, otherwise random intervention may lead to influence in unexpected directions, making the development of the territory a mess.

After careful consideration, Xia Duo also felt that it was necessary to improve the law, not only the consumption tax, but also other things that were not added due to the development of the territory before, can also be added together.

If it was in the past, the citizens might feel that there are traps in the unfamiliar laws that have no concept at all, but since the implementation of the Great Xia Code, the leaders have a very high sense of identification with the Great Xia Code.

Now is a great time to lay a solid foundation!
