Hokage, I am Uzumaki Naruto

"it is good."

Seeing that he was so sensible, Minato said hello again.

Immediately thereafter, an order was issued to let everyone go down and be responsible for the layoffs in various places in accordance with the prescribed standards.

But at this moment, Fu Yue, who had been silent for a long time, showed concern: "But there is one thing we have to worry about. What if the ninja warrior is unwilling to cooperate with the disarmament?"

"Yeah, what if they don't want to cooperate?"

"It's a real headache."

That is to say, Fu Yue's words instantly brought everyone back to their senses.

So everyone undoubtedly fell into deep worry again.

Everyone felt helpless about this, and could only turn all eyes to Minato who first raised this question.

How to solve it is up to Hokage-sama to make up his mind.

No way, the idea is set.

Minato could only bite the bullet and said: "In short, disarmament is imperative, so let's follow the plan."

He looked at Mifune and said, "Samurai, I will thank you, Mifune, to inform the generals of the various places about the results of the meeting. Let them obey the orders and not violate them."

"Yes."

Mifune replied with a serious expression.

After arranging the samurai, Minato looked at the leaders of the other four hidden villages, and said in a deep voice: "As for the ninjas, the layoffs of the four big ninja villages are left to you, the shadows of the original villages."

"I'll wait to understand!"

Like Mifune, Ohnoki and the others responded in unison.

After that, Minato looked solemnly at the representatives of the former Oguni Ninja headed by Nagato, and said: "And you, the layoffs. After you go back, you must also implement the policies in place."

"Finally, you raised the issue that disarmament may cause dissatisfaction among the military.

When you go back, I will also send Naruto and others to follow you to various places to sit in town.In order to ensure the smooth progress of disarmament. "

"Then it will never be better!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Minato's guarantee.If there are Naruto and others sitting in town, let alone disarmament.

Even if the entire ninja world is turned upside down, there is no problem, anyway, someone has the bottom line.

So, with regard to the matter of disarmament, after so many discussions, a plan was finally made.

Then there is the question of taxes in the new country again.

This has been a big problem since ancient times.

Therefore, when Minato mentioned this matter, it was not surprising that everyone's faces that had just relaxed became dignified in an instant.

Seeing this, Minato didn't care and said: "Then next, let's discuss the matter of national finance and taxation.

Before that, I would like to invite all representatives to be officials who have served in the five major ninja countries, the central government or the local government.

Someone who has a detailed understanding of this aspect of the policy, come out and share with us how they collected national taxes in the era of daimyo rule in the past? "

"Yes."

Hearing Minato's words, soon, there was a pineapple-headed man wearing glasses and dressed in elegant clothes in the crowd.

He spoke and said: "I... let me tell you first! I am from the Konoha Nara clan, Shikaichi Nara who was sent to serve as a vassal to the Daimyo of the Fire Country in the past."

"Although he is not in charge of finance, he also has a general understanding of the tax policy when the daimyo was in office."

"Oh?"

Hearing what he said, Minato became interested in an instant, and said, "Then, please tell me, Lu Yi, what are the specific tax systems in the former Land of Fire?"

"Yes."

Lu Yihui said: "During the daimyo's reign, the country's main source of tax was the national tax.

The so-called national tax is the central government represented by the daimyo, which directly collects taxes from various places under its jurisdiction.Among them, agricultural tax and poll tax are the most important tax types. "

"Of course, in addition to this, there are local taxes. This kind of tax is mainly the various exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes collected by the daimyo's enfeoffed nobles in their own fiefs.

Because it is not subject to central jurisdiction, it is called local tax. "

"In addition, the daimyos also charged high tax rates to some domestic private companies and merchants. The above is the overall taxation model of the state's finances when the daimyos were in power."

Minato listened, nodded, and said with emotion: "Understood. This is roughly the same as Konoha, and also collects a percentage of the rewards received by ninjas in the village when they complete tasks."

"It's just that what Konoha generally collects is personal income tax. And the tax rate is calculated according to the amount of remuneration for each person."

The poll tax, such an ancient tax system, has long been abolished.It's just that the daimyos are still carrying it out. "

With a helpless sigh, he rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

Minato asked again: "What about the agricultural tax? What tax rate did the daimyos collect in the past?"

Lu Yi replied: "Here, there is no tax rate. Generally, farmers pay according to the amount of grain stipulated by the state."

"Then what should the farmers do if they can't pay the food in a famine year?"

"What else can I do?"

At this time, among the crowd, an official from the Harada Kingdom said: "The common people have no food, so they can only sell their sons and daughters! They must also be exchanged for food, and pay all the food."

"Otherwise, we can only pay the country's annual taxes in the same amount of money.

That’s not counting the poll tax, but when it comes to this, it’s outrageous…”

Then, in order to let everyone better understand the darkness under the rule of Daimyo, he even gave a bunch of eloquent examples.

For example, what is the household tax calculated according to each household in each village.In addition, based on the adult population, each person has to pay 120 taels of silver per year, which is called a calculation tax.

For the rest, there are minor children who need to pay oral tax and so on.As many as hairs on a cow.

And the reason why he knows this is because the taxation of various countries in the ninja world is essentially the same.

Of course, the most important thing is that a country is different from a village.

The overall population of the village is sparse, so as long as there is a little land, it can support tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, the source of the village's economy mainly depends on the military expenditure provided by the original countries.

Therefore, in the context of a small ruling base and very few people.Villagers as long as there is no war.

You can live comfortably just by becoming a ninja and doing missions in exchange for commissions.

For details, you can refer to Qatar, a small country that hosts the World Cup in modern times, for such a reason.

But the country is different.

Not only do you need to manage a large area of ​​land, but you also have to pay neighboring countries for land cession and compensation from time to time because of wars.

Therefore, for big countries, increasing taxes has become a necessary means.

It's just that, for ordinary people who depend on land for survival.

These taxes that are on their heads one after another have become the most fundamental reason for them to eventually go bankrupt.
