Chapter 715, Bargaining

Gu Hang is still paying attention to the things on Holy Terra.

However, it is no longer the most important thing.

Gu Hang has decided to accept the plan proposed by Premier Xu of the Taxation Department.

Of course, not now, immediately, or right away.

There are still many details to be discussed.

For example, the location of tax delivery, such as the five major star regions mentioned in the alliance plan to pay taxes to the empire in full, but Gu Hang became the chairman of the Spider Web Universe, and did not allow the alliance to expand, so should the other nine star regions in the Spider Web Universe leave 30% in the star region government and 20% in the universe region government?

After all, these nine star regions are not the territories of the alliance and do not need to comply with the "Alliance Plan".

Of course, instead, although the government agencies of the universe region can be established by Gu Hang, the chairman of the universe region, the Executive Yuan has the right to intervene in the appointment of the heads of the star regions and the bureaucrats of the two levels of the universe and star regions. In addition to the government, there are also vertical administrative agencies, such as the two-level military affairs department, the taxation department, and the legal department, which also need to be vertically led by the imperial central military affairs department, the taxation department, and the legal department.

Not to mention, they also have to be equipped with the Inquisition, the Star Army, and the Navy, which are all restricted.

And the Star Army needs to be built, the Navy needs to be built, and the Inquisition needs money for activities, so they all need to be allocated. Not to mention directly asking the taxation department for funding, but also the superiors of these departments, institutions, and troops need to allocate funds.

Of course, instead, these units such as the Star Army, Navy, and government departments that have been built have to accept the vertical leadership of the upper level in addition to listening to the chairman of the universe domain.

This is a political wrestling field.

It depends on whether the superior funding is powerful or the universe domain government funding is powerful; it depends on the struggle for personnel power; the final result is that these departments are constantly wavering in implementing the will of the three parties of the universe domain chairman, the star domain head, and the imperial central government, plus their own departmental interests and the personal interests of departmental bureaucrats...

There are so many conflicts of interest alone, and then count corruption? What about the proposition? Political ideal?

Just thinking about it makes me feel numb.

In this case, how to improve efficiency? How to implement the "savior plan" that Gu Hang had thought of for the worlds in the Spider Web Universe?

Gu Hang was actually unwilling to accept that the alliance was completely restricted from expanding, and his rule over the Spider Web Universe could only rely on the regular local government agencies of the empire. The efficiency of the universe, star field, star region, and planet is too low, and there are too many things to argue about.

However, although Gu Hang was unwilling, it did not prevent him from negotiating this matter.

What it means is that if you don't allow the alliance to expand, then the alliance plan will not include other places in the Spider Web Universe, and then there is no way to guarantee the tax revenue of these places. You can't give you an additional 800 billion in taxes in addition to 130 million, and you have to collect taxes according to the normal situation of local taxes in the empire.

That means not only that more than half of the tax revenue must be left to the local area, but the alliance also does not guarantee low losses.

In total, the tax revenue that the central government of the empire may get is only 50 billion?

More than ten times the difference.

If you don't allow the alliance to expand, I will pay you more taxes;

If you don't allow the alliance to expand, there will be no money.

Gu Hang's meaning is also very clear: the tax department should give more help.

And even if the expansion is allowed, we have to bargain well.

The nine star regions that have been rotten are big, but they have been too badly damaged by the tragic wars in the past ten years. 800 billion is really not worth it, we have to negotiate a little lower.

In addition to using money to continue to hang the Empire Central Tax Department, Gu Hang also has to put pressure on the Ministry of Government Affairs.

Since they are not under the alliance system and not in the "Alliance Plan", then the star army and navy in these places...these constructions, should the Empire Central Star Army Headquarters and Navy Headquarters be allocated funds?

Should the Executive Yuan allocate funds to the government for the reconstruction of the planets?

Should the tax department allocate money to build a tax fleet? Otherwise, how can taxes be collected? The alliance can't collect them, this has nothing to do with the alliance, you don't let the alliance interfere.

The same is true for other cosmic and star domain affairs.

Calculated in this way, in addition to the areas controlled by the alliance, the Spider Web Universe Empire can't even get back 50 billion a year. With these grants, the central government of the empire may have to give money to Gu Hang in return.

You can do it.

These things can't be determined overnight.

Let's talk slowly.

The ambassador sent by the alliance to Holy Terra is of a high level. Salihovic was an important figure in the alliance's diplomatic department earlier. As the alliance grows larger and larger, the most important external relationship is naturally the relationship with Holy Terra, so naturally the most important person is needed to take on the position of ambassador.

Gu Hang is still very confident in Salihovic.

Apart from other things, this person is now at LV8, and all the upgraded characteristics are related to diplomacy, negotiation, and charm. He is the most powerful talent in this regard in the alliance.

Of course, as the saying goes, what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table. Salihovic is just good at speaking, can read people's expressions, can make people like him, and can stick to his principles when he needs to be sharp, but he can't turn black into white or gain any excess benefits.

In the final analysis, a plan must be made, and then there needs to be a strong Gu Hang and a strong alliance behind him to enable Salihovic to perform at his best.

The good news is that Salihovic can still get the support of Gallardo.

Having a high lord to help is very effective.

On the one hand, it is possible to get some information that cannot be obtained through normal channels. Otherwise, no matter how high the intelligence department of the alliance is, it is not easy to know the content discussed in the Supreme Council in the first time.

There is no problem in the second time, and the leaks are everywhere.

On the other hand, there are some strategies that Gallardo can help speak in the Supreme Council.

Let's talk slowly.

However, the time will not be delayed too long.

The time for the next tax payment must be determined.

Whether to implement the "Alliance Plan" or to think of other ways can be determined in one or two months.

Gu Hang patiently pushed the Alliance Government to formulate the first two-year plan, and then followed it with an eight-year plan.

The first two-year plan is to solve the problem of how to pay 800 billion when the Empire first handed over taxes two years later.

In fact, it is not difficult.

The current Dragon Eagle Star Region tax, plus the fiscal surplus, is almost enough to cover this money.

But the pressure in the past two years is not on taxes, but on trying to improve the construction level of other places while the tax pressure is not too great in the early stage.
