Chapter 178 Parliant’s power of taxation approval
ps: I didn’t change it yesterday, and all the recomndation tickets fell to my grandma’s house, crying. Ask for tickets, ask for subscription
Facing Edward's sudden words, Faris Alexander calmly glanced at the young king in front of him, as expected.
After following Henry VIII for so many years, when the king ntioned that he had no money, the first thing he thought of was taxation, and he was used to it.
In England, the king has no money, so he can only propose taxation to the parliant, and the parliant will also agree in due course according to the king's situation.
At this ti, you should pay attention to that the tax collection opened by the parliant is a one-ti one, that is to say, after this tax is collected, the king has no right to collect taxes.
So, at present, part of the inco that Edward can get is the royal family's land, and the king's exclusive tax-tariff, plus the tithe tax collected by the royal court after the religious reform.
It can be said that at this ti, rchants do not need to pay taxes except for tariffs, let alone agricultural taxes.
And what if the king has no money? One is forced paynt, and the other is to seek help from the parliant.
Forcing a loan, as the na suggests, ans that the king forcibly borrows money from rchants and wealthy nobles.
After lending money to the king in this way, you are ready to go forever! Don't think that the king will return it to you. Of course, the king will return it to you when most of the money is abundant.
But what if the king really ran out of money and couldn't repay the loan?
At this ti, the benefits of the king's control of the parliant ca. For example, Henry VIII, he fought wars all year round, and the inco from the religious reform was not enough for him to fight, and he owed a large amount of loans.
At this ti, Henry VIII asked the parliant to et and pass a resolution to cancel part of the debt owed by the king, and this is usually the majority of the arrears.
This is very shaless, the parliant passed this resolution, which ans that the country has canceled most of the loans for the king in the form of law.
The second way is to convene the next parliant, let the mbers pass a resolution, agree to the king's tax collection, and allow the king to collect a tax in the na of compensation.
Compensation includes ten tax one and fifteen tax one.
Ten tax 1 and 15 tax 1 were originally the tax rates for urban and rural real estate and land property, levying one-tenth of the real estate value of urban property owners and one-fifteenth of the land value of rural land owners.
When it ca to Henry VIII, this amount of money was not enough for his teeth, so at his request, the scope of tax collection for the subsidy continued to expand.
When it ca to Edward, in addition to the traditional one-fifth tax and one-tenth tax, taxes were also collected on commodities, agricultural products, production and living facilities, livestock, rent, annuities, daily necessities, salaries, etc. in cities and rural areas. Those who stick to money are all within the scope of his taxation.
After the tax is levied once, if the tax amount is not enough for the king to repay the loan, then the second ti will continue to be levied.
If these taxes are not enough, the king will impose new taxes, such as poll tax, with the approval of the parliant.
However, if the king wants to bypass the parliant to collect taxes, it will attract opposition from the people of the whole country, and it will end in failure.
For example, in 1525 and 1546, Henry VIII planned to bypass the Parliant twice and collect taxes directly, but was opposed by the people of the whole country and failed.
And if Edward directly convenes the parliant to collect taxes, this ans that Edward recognizes the taxation power of the parliant, and the parliant will generally approve it.
The later Charles I had no money to suppress the Scottish rebellion, and he did not agree with the conditions of the Parliant, so he taxed himself, which led to the unanimous opposition of the national gentleman group and noble citizens. This is the origin of the fuse of the British Revolution.
"Your Majesty, this thod is feasible and can alleviate the central governnt's financial gap!"
Faris quickly nodded and agreed, this is the best thod, just like our parents who lack money, and the king who lacks money to find parliant, it has beco a common practice.
As for the matter of taxation, Faris, as the Minister of the Privy Council, of course agreed in every possible way, but Edward felt a little uncomfortable.
In front of the parliant, the king is the master of the parliant in normal tis. If the parliant goes east, the parliant dare not go west.
When it ca ti to collect taxes, the king had to bow his head and discuss with the parliant on an equal footing. Although the parliant would eventually agree, such arrogant kings felt uncomfortable.
So, for hundreds of years, the English royal family has been pursuing financial self-sufficiency, so that they can support themselves.
However, until the Tudor dynasty, Henry VII began to realize it, and when it ca to the war madman Henry VIII, the finances have never been self-sufficient.
"The parliant has not been held for two years!" Edward thought for a while and asked casually.
"Yes!" Faris said after thinking about it, bending over.
Parliant has not been convened again since Duke Edward introduced the Reformation Act the year before.
"Then you can arrange it!" Edward sighed and said in a calm tone.
"Yes!" Faris nodded slightly.
Afterwards, the room beca quiet. The little maid quietly lit the candle, and the shadow of the candle was shining brightly. The moon outside the window had climbed into the air, reflecting the figure of the young king in thought.
Faris also voluntarily exited the room and began to arrange for the parliant to be held.
The English Parliant consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Lords is composed of nobles and monks, appointed by the king.
The House of Commons is composed of knights and citizens, and is democratically elected. Each county can send two knights, and each big city can send two citizens.
Parliant has three major powers, promulgating laws, approving taxation, and dealing with major political events (such as the divorce case of Henry VIII, which was a big deal).
mbers of Parliant are not stationed in London for a long ti. They will co to London to perform their duties only when the king convenes Parliant.
So, Faris needs to call them one by one and let them co to London.
At this ti, the charming moon sprinkled silver moonlight from the sky, covering the blood-shrouded city of Francisco, with a special sense of beauty.
After a few days of recuperation, Major Jas took the Minister of the Privy Council, His Excellency Kyle Lance, on the "Sea Monarch", and followed by dozens of ships that could move, and ca to France's bustling port on the west coast— francico.
After a few days of showing off their power, Major Jas finally found out that there were no extra ships in this port city to stop them, and there were very few troops defending the city.
This is a golden opportunity. Of course, Major Jas could not forget His Majesty's order, and decisively started the attack at night.
It would be fine if it was another city, but it’s a pity that it’s a port city. The navy of more than 1,000 people broke down the city defenders who had been frightened for several days. In less than three hours, the English had already taken control of the city. This prosperous port city.
