Chapter 402 Alliance Establishment and Statistics Committee

When the directors of the Northwest Industry (that is, the lords), after learning that there is a big business of a million silver coins, it is almost happy.

When Paul proposed the establishment of Northwest Industry, the leaders began to participate in the mentality of making money outside the earning point, and no one expected that now they have become their important source of income.

They drove from their own territory to Huxin Town and scrambled to see the generous mysterious customers.

It turned out to be from the Jiaowan Alliance, or the eldest son of the Foster family, which was incredible.

In recent years, due to the trend of Alida's leading foreign trade, the original occlusal Northwest Bay has gradually begun to come into contact with the outside world. The lords know the position of the Foster family in the Jiaowan League.

The stubbornness, flattering, and the enthusiastic hospitality lords have opened a round of banquets to entertain the Foster brothers.

In the newly -built mansion in the Town of Huxin Town, the guests have just ended a lively dinner for guests. After the guests were dissipated, the mansion was quiet.

In the bridge chamber on the second floor, several people still whispered while playing cards around the table.

They are Aldarine Earl Paul Paul Grandanber, Earl Eardin Leader Malron Ghanad, Portry Earl Earl Venifred Hayler, Duke of Henry Fidnand in the Northwest That is the owner of the mansion, Count Prove Parker.

These five are also the five most influential directors in the Northwest Industry.

There is another person in the room, Drick Herne, the son of Earl Herler, but he did not go to the table, but stood aside to wait for his father with his legs and feet.

While Paul said the poker in his hand, "Everyone, as the foreign trade continues to increase, I think the plan for the tariff alliance cannot be just on the paper ... haha, I am good for tonight."

He dumped a few continuous cards at once.

"I think so!" McLon followed, and of course everyone knew that he and Paul were wearing a pair of pants.

Others have different expressions on their faces.

"Hey! I agree with it too."

Duke Henry Fidnand said with a smile, "It's time to do it."

The direct territory of the Ferdinand family is Manda, and the superior products are various types of agricultural products, while the superior products of Alida and Bayerdin are all kinds of manufacturing products, which are not conflicting on both sides. Inland and agricultural collars such as Manda and the agricultural collar, there are a large amount of demand for agricultural collars. There is no toll on the tolls on the territory along the way, and these things that will be sold will be cheaper. Of course, if you cancel the tariffs with each other, you ca n’t levy tolls on your own ground. If you think about it, it is really painful, but if you have something, you must lose your eyes.

Speaking of it seriously, Henry is now a bit embarrassing in the aristocratic circle of the Northwest Bay. According to tradition, the Ferdinand family should be the head of the Northwest Bayers, but in the warrior war, he even controlled his attachment. Losing, the current owner still rely on the support of outsiders to reach the position of the Duke. This has made the family prestige be hit by a lot of blows, and the Duke's signboard is not so bright.

The fastest status in recent years is Paul Graman, who has not been famous before, not to mention the powerful force that has shown in the war of the throne. Everyone has made a lot of money, and it has made many people feel good about him. The prestige is not established by the big stick without carrots.

Coupled with the power of the Alida army, Henry felt weird every time Henry and Paul felt at the same occasion. Fortunately, Paul gave him face. Every time he met, he would be respectful to salute first. If you have any good things, you will call himself. So Henry also used the family's prestige to cooperate with Paul.

Instead, Earl Parker and Earl Haille, they looked at each other, and the expression on their faces was hard to say.

The two had previously promised to support the establishment of the tariff alliance, but they encountered great resistance to the specific operation.

Paul looked at them and looked like I knew.

"I know what you are worried about, and come up and listen to me a few words."

The five stood up, and his head made a circle on the small table.

"Ah, do you do this?"

"What else, if the gang of people in the villagers, if I don't know how to get back and clicked."

"I can try it."

Nympho

"Okay, that's it, everyone advances and retreat."

After the discussion, the five lords re -seated.

Parker hesitated, "That ... Count Melken has not been interested in our plan. Do you want to persuade him?"

Paul and Henry Fedinand looked ugly, and said nothing.

Earl Merkeke, one of the initiatives of the Kent family at the time.

To say that at the time, who had the most credit in the warrior war, everyone may not accept anyone, but whoever jumps most after the war is the Earl Melken.

What makes Paul the most unbearable is that Count Melken always has a predecessor in front of him ... "mentioned" him.

In short, in some unknown people, Paul can now have such a result thanks to Melken's elders.

And Melken is a bit disrespectful for the current Duke of Northwest Duke Henry Ferdinand.

Before anyone else spoke, Derrick, who had been standing silently behind his father, expressed his opposition. "Bringing that guy Melken in would definitely mess things up. He's a greedy and mean guy."

Earl Heller's face darkened, and he scolded his son: "Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here, and you're still making irresponsible comments about others. Stand aside."

Derrick was not convinced: "I didn't make irresponsible comments. Since Melken joined Northwest Industry, he has used all kinds of means to plunder the people. Now all the blacksmith shops and iron mines in his territory are named Melken."

"Alas!" Earl Parker shook his head. He had heard about Melken's affairs.

It's better not to contact Melken for the time being. The lords made this decision silently.

The next step is the most critical, the allocation of external tariffs.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

The so-called customs union means that everyone in the alliance circle is exempt from tolls, but for goods outside the alliance, the import and export fees cannot be reduced by a penny.

However, due to geographical reasons, some territories can collect a large amount of external tariffs, such as Arda, which has an outlet to the sea, while some territories cannot.

Therefore, under Paul's suggestion, the taxes collected from external goods are used as the public treasury of the alliance and used for the expenditure of the alliance's public affairs, such as paying employees' salaries or supporting infrastructure construction in areas with backward transportation. If there is a surplus, it will be distributed according to the population ratio of each member territory - and then the respective lords will decide how to use it.

Whose territory has how many people, you can't just say it.

But except for Paul's rough statistics within his jurisdiction, the lords of this era only have a rough estimate of the number of their people.

So it was also under Paul's suggestion that the customs union needed to establish a statistical committee.

In addition to counting the population and providing a basis for the allocation of the public treasury, the responsibilities of the statistical committee are to count the economic and trade data of the alliance, such as the quantity and value of imported and exported goods, etc., to provide a basis for the alliance to formulate trade policies.

In the future, it may take on more statistical responsibilities.

Who will be responsible for managing this statistical committee?

"I propose that Brother Mellon be the chairman of the committee."

Henry Ferdinand raised his voice and expressed his opinion.

"This... let's discuss it together." Mellon stood up and declined repeatedly, looking embarrassed.

"Brother Mellon is fair, rigorous, and serious about his work. There will be no problem handing the committee over to him."

The Duke insisted on his opinion.

"I second it!"

Paul also expressed his opinion.

Then Henry, Paul, and Mellon stared at the remaining two together.

"I... I... I don't object in principle." Count Heller said in a low voice with some hesitation.

"This... OK, I also believe in Count Garnard."

Count Parker had to agree.

Anyway, no matter who leads the committee, each leader will arrange their own people to play a role in mutual supervision.

In this way, the customs union that had been delayed for a long time was finally officially decided to be established.
