My British Empire

Of course, reciprocate, since the tariff is in the arms of the income, the tax will naturally need to be paid, there is no doubt about it.

The Irish government has no tariffs, and the tax on the island must be raised.

This thing is relatively simple. His Majesty Edward only needs to ask the person in charge of the royal family property in Ireland to come forward to personally declare the tax in Ireland and then hand it over.

What's more, the amount is quite significant, with the tax declaration amount reaching 5,000 pounds, which is also the largest tax declaration in Ireland's history.

With His Majesty the king taking the lead, how can the rest of the nobles be bigger than the king, so they can only file their taxes reluctantly.

After losing the tariffs, the Irish government increased taxes by more than 20,000 pounds in one month, which is an astonishing amount.

As I said before, the Celts in Ireland are basically still in the era of tribal alliances, so the United Kingdom directly implements an improved version of the European feudal system in Ireland. Tribes, large and small, are transformed into a large number of knights, barons, and become feudal lord.

And England's writing, language, architecture, clothing, books, and beliefs have also expanded among Celtic tribes, and England has gradually become a benchmark for fashion.

Edward is gratified that the Irish government has been receiving support from the central government for the past ten years, and has not slackened in the spread of culture.

"Your Majesty, according to the survey, the number of Irish teenagers receiving basic education has reached 6,000, including 4,000 Celtics. If nothing unexpected, ten years later, among the Celtics, there will be 4,000 Irish teenagers who can speak English." The number of people will reach 200,000!"

Several years of compulsory education has greatly increased the literacy rate of the whole of Ireland. Especially in order to implement the central government's decrees, the Irish Governor's Government spends more than 20,000 pounds on education every year, which is almost the same as the cost of the garrison.

After cruising around, as the governor of Ireland, John Perott followed His Majesty's footsteps closely and visited most of the entire island of Ireland in order to make up for his mistakes.

Taking advantage of the moment when His Majesty the King rested, His Excellency the Governor then softly reported the achievements of Ireland in the past few years.

Over the past month, the journey was tiring, His Majesty the King and the little princes were all exhausted, but Edward also noticed the growth of the sons.

The most basic thing is that there is already some content in their immature eyes, which has increased their knowledge.

In other words, it is commonly known as knowing the sufferings of the people!

For example, once, when passing by a village, the local residents even put stones into the stone pot and stirred them with the meat.

Henry wondered why stones were added, while Charlie and Adam wondered why stone pots were used instead of iron pots.

At this time, Edward, as a father and king, kindly taught them what is poor, what is difficult, and what is poor.

After a parade, everyone's harvest is also good.

"The Governor's Mansion has done a good job in this regard!" Edward praised with a smile when he heard this.

"However, in addition to the Celtics in Ireland, there are also many problems in the counties and counties under the Governor's Mansion!"

"What you said is true, Your Majesty. I have already noticed it, but this is a legacy problem, and it is not easy to deal with it for a while!!"

The young governor lowered his head, bravely admitting his mistakes, and then looked expectantly at the young His Majesty the King, hoping to get some guidance.

Due to the previous Irish colonial strategy, the development was carried out from point to point. The Governor's Palace only provided soldiers and logistics, and the rest were basically shot down by the remaining officers.

In the stronghold, the prestige is very high, holding on to the power, the Governor's Mansion can do nothing about it.

In this regard, John Perot naturally knows this, and he also wants to centralize power and concentrate power in the Governor's Palace, but he has no intention of doing so.

"A while ago, didn't you say that taxes are difficult to collect? Why not start here!" After thinking about the question, Edward showed a conspiratorial smile.

"You can set up a powerful taxation department to be responsible for clearing taxes, so as to achieve the purpose of interference. Without finances, the local government naturally has no capital to contend with!"

Hearing this, His Excellency the Governor suddenly realized that what he needed to find was just a breakthrough.

So, it does work.

After losing the tariffs, the Irish Governor's Office devoted all its efforts to pursuing domestic tax evasion and tax evasion.

Thus, in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, a notorious organization was born - the Governor's Revenue Department.

In view of the difficulty of collecting taxes, the Irish Governor-General invented a unique force - the tax police.

This group is fully equipped, riding horses, whistling, with pens and paper, and carrying sticks, and they are prowling around all over Ireland to catch any tax evasion.

They have amazing acuity and are said to be able to detect all transactions and money.

Whether they are nobles or civilians, they still cannot escape their noses and investigations, they are unscrupulous and prestigious.

Together with London's urban management, police, and Scottish highland warriors, they are listed as the four major figures in the United Kingdom that cannot be provoked.

In a month, Edward ended his tour of the entire island of Ireland, allowing the king's authority to reach the bottom of Ireland for the first time.

Of course, crucial tariffs have also been harvested.

The appearance of several illegitimate children also made Irish officials and aristocrats talk a lot, feeling helpless against His Majesty's shameless behavior.

The harvest of the parade is far more than that, but the tired king no longer thinks so much, he just wants to have a good rest.

Ireland was nothing more than a dumping ground for the kingdom, offering nothing more than sailors and manpower to the empire to breathe new life into the United Kingdom's economy.

Without hundreds of years of hard work, there is no way to achieve a sway like England. Economic integration and cultural integration are Edward's current pursuit.

By the time Edward returned to London, it was already winter, and the rainy, wet and cold weather made the entire London citizen worry.

No more cold worries today, though.

In December, the £50,000 London Coal Supply Company was established to take care of domestic and industrial heating throughout London, mainly for residents.

The municipal finance subsidizes this.

That is to say, London citizens no longer need to go to the streets to buy coal, but only need to pay two shillings a month to get a daily supply of coal for the whole family, which is much cheaper than buying in small quantities.

And, it's still delivered.

Of course, if you have no money, you can also use a few pennies to buy some cinders, and it will have some effect.

London in the winter of 1566 was extraordinarily warm and harmonious.
