At the end of the talks, the results turned out to be good, which is a matter of course.

After all, since Carmen provoked the lusts in Sir Tusella's heart, the patriot's golden body has been cut through a big hole. Lorraine drilled down the hole and successfully touched it without much effort. The core of this hero's true scruples.

　　The so-called...status and respect.

　　 Respect comes from status, and it makes the status stable. These two aspects are one of the two. As an advanced demand-oriented concept, it is exactly the cliff wall that a civilian hero like Figure Serra strives to climb, but can never climb to the top.

　　 Lorraine’s father, Elijah, taught Lorraine that only a hundred years of upbringing can breed a qualified nobleman.

　　 In short, the common people obtained the title by chance and coincidence, and since then they have entered the upper class society, which is only the beginning of a family transformation.

　　The upper class in Europe is a closed and exclusive social circle. This circle has been in operation for thousands of years, and has its own unique cognition, fashion, customs and even language, which is completely different from the civilian class.

　　 Even the common people will be regarded as outsiders even if they are promoted to noble ranks, and even if the noble heirs are still in the circle, the root of this peculiar closed loop is the difference between the two classes.

　　Because of the differences, heroes of civilian origin must greedily pursue a higher status. Status allows them to more fully recognize the differences between the two sides and have a clear direction for improvement.

　　 After such generations, when they have completely faded away from the common people, they can truly gain a foothold in the upper class and become the real "noble class."

In the case of Tucerra, the governor’s status allows him to receive the attention he deserves even if he is not recognized. Spain’s top social occasions in the New World also cannot tolerate the long absence of a powerful person. This is the most transformed family of Tucerra. The fastest and most robust thoroughfare.

　　 But if he really completes his term as Lorraine said without accomplishment, with his background, the result of waiting for him is to return to China in despair, with the title of major general and the medal full of medals, waiting to die in a certain idle position.

　　His life is over, and the transformation of the family is also over. When he is inspired by God, the family will stop the short trip to the upper world and fall back into the quagmire of the populace.

　　 He certainly didn't want to see such a future, so when Lorraine misinterpreted Miami as his only hope in his career, he lost the right to choose.

The Governor of Florida, Baron Falby von Tucera, has officially decided to build a new colonial town at the mouth of the Miami River. The construction will begin on August 12, 1785. 2000 immigrants.

　　 Because of the river’s name, this new city that is about to be born from the wilderness is called Miami.

　　 As the legal property holder of the predetermined town site, the Drake Chamber of Commerce in England set aside national boundaries in the stance of spreading human civilization and fully assisted in this colonization operation.

　　The content of assistance includes but is not limited to:

　　 1. Free planning for the new city. The first phase of the plan will be submitted to the Governor's Office for review before August 15.

　　 2. The Florida Governor's House will be provided free of charge with the land for the city hall, parliament, church, court, law and order, customs, tax office and prison, as well as related buildings attached to the land, which will be handed over before the Legislative Hall on September 15.

　　 3. To bear the resettlement costs, undertake the transfer of resettlers, complete resettlement before September 5, and assist the city hall to complete the household registration of the immigrants.

　　4. Provide complete housing and other living facilities for the first-phase immigrants free of charge.

　　5. Provide free land and anchor ports for the Governor's Mansion for garrison, including 1,000 acres of land and one kilometer of coastline northwest of the Miami Estuary, as well as the entire island of Virginia.

　　 The construction of military barracks, anchor ports, coastal defense forts and other military installations shall be undertaken by the Governor’s Mansion after the legislature.

　　6. ​​According to the plan, carry out comprehensive commercial development of land other than military and administrative purposes...

This contract is a common method for colonial strongholds to be transferred from private to government. The content is full of fantasy. If someone takes it seriously, they will definitely think that God has shown a miracle in the world, and not only builds a perfect town overnight, but also Gathered devout believers from all over the world.

　　 But what Lorraine really needs to do is to hand over some of the administrative facilities, provide military land and assist the city hall to complete the household registration of Hekou Town.

　　 In addition, the first mayor of Miami has been confirmed, and he is the current mayor of Fort St. Augustine, Mr. Di Pujani.

　　 Tucella seems to have misunderstood Lorraine’s intentions, thinking that he chose to let Di Puiani introduce him because he hoped that Di Puiani could become the helm of Miami.

　　 Fortunately, this is not the key...

　　 At the same time, the policy guidelines have been roughly finalized.

　　 The biggest difference between Miami and the private bases in history lies in the ownership of the land.

According to the normal process, adventurers land on unfamiliar land, plant the national flag, declare nationality, and then return to the mainland or nearby relatively prosperous colonies, using fraudulent methods to find investment and unsolicited settlements who are willing to move, and give away money and people. To plant land under the flag, this is colonization.

　　 Therefore, the concept of colonization has always been.

　　 Until the colonial stronghold has developed to a certain extent, the real secular forces will intervene and take everything away through the establishment of a town. Only the developers, investors and the first batch of pioneers will be compensated to a certain extent.

　　 means that everything in government-run towns should belong to the state, and belong to the king and the governor’s mansion.

　　 But this conversion is totally unworkable in Miami.

　　 Lorraine did not declare sovereignty through the brutal and brutal way of planting a flag. His land transactions with Indians have complete filings and tax payment certificates in Britain, West, and the United States, which completely conform to the rules of civilized society operation.

　　 This means that even if he is transferred to the official camp, Spain cannot deprive him of his legal property rights to this land.

　　 Planning, construction, development, and management, all rights related to land are firmly held in the hands of the Drake Chamber of Commerce. If you compare Miami to a mansion, the city hall is no longer a general master, he is more like a housekeeper hired by Lorraine, and his salary is Miami’s taxes.

　　 For example, Miami Beach.

　　The Port Authority is independently operated by the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and various service charges related to it belong to the Chamber of Commerce.

　　 If someone wants to buy or lease first-hand land, properties, berths and other real estate, they also need to connect with the Port Authority, which is also the income of the Chamber of Commerce.

　　In contrast, the customs and tax stations belong to the municipal organization, so regardless of customs duties or other taxes, they are the income of the municipal hall and do not need to be shared with Lorraine.

　　 At first glance, this revenue model looks like two parallel lines. The Chamber of Commerce and the City Hall each make their own profits ~lightnovelpub.net~ without interfering with each other.

But in fact, because it wants to “borrow” Drake’s land to collect taxes and develop population, the city hall must pay attention to Lorraine’s opinions in the formulation of the tax rate benchmark, and the details of the fluctuations are left to the town council for decision-making. It can be imagined for a long time. In time, Lorraine will also have the final say.

　　 This is the unique characteristic of people under the eaves.

Carmen and Di Puiani engaged in a verbal battle on the tax rate issue on behalf of the two parties. Finally, they decided that Miami’s agricultural tax was based on 10%, and the commercial tax fluctuated between 5-10% according to the type. It was levied in both directions and adhered to the characteristics of a free port. Customs duties and personal consumption taxes are exempted, and the total of other additional taxes must not exceed 5%.

Carmen also added special tax exemption related to tax refunds, especially for tax refunds. Any individual with an annual tax amount of more than 20 octagonal gold coins and an organization with an annual tax amount of more than 500 octagonal gold coins can enjoy the stepped tax refund treatment. This treatment is for individuals 100. The highest 50% is reached when 2500 pieces are organized, and the settlement will be unified in March of the following year.

　　 Lorraine did some calculations.

Under this tax rate, the tax paid by Miami citizens who have passed the tax rebate amendment will generally not exceed 15% of their total income, and the burden of the chamber of commerce is controlled at 7% to 13% of local revenue, which is lower than the average burden of contemporary commercial ports. Nearly half.

　　 "In this way, Miami might be the most livable town in North America." Lorraine sipped his coffee and murmured, "Population, chambers of commerce, factories, farms..."

　　 "Agriculture may not be able to achieve large-scale prosperity. After all, Florida does not allow slave trade, and the labor cost is too high compared to other colonies."

　　 "So what the Chamber of Commerce should do next is...sell land?"
