Chapter 242 Don't take a single silver coin
Marian found that not only Jacques, but also the other friends had strange expressions. She grabbed Lily beside her and asked, "Do you know the special envoy?"
Lily whispered: "I've seen it, called Claudia, and last year with Jacques and the others in the Mist Forest Challenge."
Fabian added: "We have also formed alliances, comrades who fight together!"
Alisha also added: "I also ate mutton hotpot together and drank wine together."
Jacques finally made a blow: "Claudia von Schwig, there is an unreliable elder in my family who happens to be her uncle."
What and what!
Marian didn't expect that these friends actually knew the Imperial Envoy, and they were quite close!
But Jacques was even more puzzled and asked, "How could she become the envoy of the Empire? Isn't she a Saxon? Her father seemed to be a marquis."
Marian murmured: "Schweig, von Schweig...she is the daughter of Marquis Schweig! Then I can probably guess some of it. She may have married into the royal family. Saxony has always had a tradition of marrying the royal family.
I don’t know how many princes I marry and the eldest prince… Although my blood relationship is relatively close, I will do it. Marquis Schweig’s mother and Queen’s mother are sisters, and it seems that she is also in the scope of marriageable.
The second prince? His basic position is in the Northern Region, and it is unlikely.
The third prince... The third prince has a civilian girlfriend unless they part...
The Fourth Prince... Well, it's too small, impossible!"
After hearing Marian's nagging for a while, Jacques summed up for her: "That is, she is the most likely to be the concubine of the eldest prince."
"Just my guess..."
“…”
At this time, Claudia on the podium also mentioned the key point.
“…
Before I left, His Majesty the Emperor received a report and ordered me to confirm the authenticity of the report to all the gentlemen who were closest to the truth.
So let me confirm whether Nevsky, the tax officer who sacrificed his life for the country, organized a tax team of 300 people?
Mayor Hoffa, can you tell me?"
Hoffa, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, sorted out his bow tie, and said, "Enterprise, the tax officer Nevsky did organize such a team because the Sioux people have always..."
Claudia interrupted him and said, "We will discuss the reasons later. I just confirm the facts. So, mayor, does the operating expenses of this tax team come from tax payments? Or other sources? For example, Nevsky paid out of his own pocket. I would also believe this reason. After all, Nevsky's wife is a famous nobleman, and the captain of the tax team is still his wife's brother."
Jacques and others were shocked by such a sharp Claudia. Is this the eldest sister who is looking for snow foxes all over the mountain?
Mayor Hoffa replied without a change of expression: "As Nevsky's accounts were all lost in the turmoil in Zidilan City, we have no definite evidence that the tax team's funds came from taxes..."
Claudia interrupted again: "Nevsky's wife, the Brand family, have assured His Majesty the Emperor that they did not sponsor him to establish such an armed force, imposed heavy taxes on his subjects in the name of the royal family, and triggered this unrest. The direct consequence of the unrest was that the Empire lost the entire Sioux Dominion, and His Majesty the Emperor became the first monarch in history to lose his territory.
So Mayor Hoffa, do you know the existence of this armed force?”
Jacques didn't expect that Fat Ju was just going to the Lake Temple to peep and be caught, which caused such a big disturbance.
A murder caused by curiosity.
Hoffa was also an old politician and immediately replied: "Sorry, the envoy, we also learned about it later. There is no relevant expenditure in the tax expenditure content here. The tax expenditure was jointly reviewed by the members of the parliamentary class here and everyone can confirm it."
Claudia looked at the other end of the first row and brought the recorder. The man nodded, and she continued, "Okay, Mayor Hoffa, your answer was recorded with the source stone imager. When I return, I will submit it to His Majesty the Emperor.
There is also negotiations with the Silver Dragon Kingdom tomorrow. I need Mayor Hoffa to confirm the treaty details with me later, so I won’t say much here.
Here, I want to emphasize again with all gentlemen that since the war more than 20 years ago, the principle that the taxes of the New World will be used to build and maintain the New World, and in theory, no silver coin will be shipped back to the Empire.
The reason for the independence of the Sioux tribe this time was the awakening of the Sioux Lake God, and it was necessary to re-confirm the bilateral relationship recognized by both sides with the empire. The place where the beast king sheltered can be called a country!
Instead of the tax officials' over-examination and taxation, it caused the revolution!
I hope to reverse the impact of some rumors on the image of the empire in public opinion. Mayor Hoffa and all gentlemen with newspapers need to cooperate in the relevant publicity.
In addition, His Majesty the Emperor has put forward rectification requirements for the tax work in the New World. After discussing the specific rectification rules with the mayor, I will submit them to His Majesty the Emperor for review.
That’s all I have to say.”
Jacques said quietly to Lily: "I think the Claudia we know is not such a sharp person."
Lily pointed at his forehead with her finger: "The so-called special envoy is just a soundtrack, and there must be a royal staff member guiding her."
Seeing that Claudia was leaving, someone finally couldn't hold back and said, "Sir, do you have any instructions on the rebels' hostage-taking incident?"
Kradia looked sideways at the recorder, saw him shook his head slightly, and turned around and replied, "I need to know more about this matter, and I won't make a decision for the time being."
The man asked anxiously, "What do you mean is that you don't negotiate with the rebels?"
The chamber immediately became a buzzing sound, and some people shouted in a hurry: "They kill one of our children every day, and this matter cannot be delayed."
Someone else shouted: "War! We want war!"
"Never compromise! Never compromise!"
That's right, the conference hall wants this taste!
Claudia, who remained serious, was also panicked by the atmosphere and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Her recorder suddenly shouted loudly: "Quiet!"
The noise stopped for a second, and he continued: "The Special Envoy will reply to everyone soon. Now the Special Envoy is going to rest!"
Claudia left the chamber with her entourage under her guard, and Mayor Hoffa followed.
After they left, the hall was noisy. Jacques heard it carefully and found that most of them were complaining.
"If you don't transport a silver coin, haha, what they transported is the goods!"
"My vineyard!"
"Let's buy the wine in Stuart together."
"Is this to blame all the tax officer?"
"The three major exchanges jointly bully us, and we need our own commodity exchange!"
"Stop dreaming. If someone has a market, they can make rules. Even if we have our own exchanges, should we play behind closed doors and play on our own?"
