This tax explanation sound familiar for some reason..... Deja Vu?

How decentralised that kingdom must be, that even a random small district with only a few villages can set their own tax rates too? Also, what about the taxes to the Crown?

Well, regardless of our MC economical theories being right or wrong ... 60% direct tax? No wonder that land was a economic backwater ... people beheaded kings IRL for imposing lower taxes tan those

And before someone says "It is not direct tax, it is all the tax" , reread the MC reasoning on how lowering that tax will increase revenue. It is clear there is a VAT-like tax in there on top of the other 60% tax in there , otherwise her own revenue would not increase by lowering direct taxes.

@Fehervari98

It has to be feudal level of decentralization And if you read between the lines, it looks to be the case. In earlier chapters it was implied that the king expected nobles to bring their troops to defend against the invaders, so the political situation should be one of land granting vs military aid, with no direct taxation by the crown ( besides the crown lands, that is ). In fact , didn't our MC became a lord due to her military assistance ?

LoL
It really amuses me when they apply modern tax rates to people living in an early Renaissance period. The only reason modern tax rates can be so high is that our production is so high. Back then a 10% tax could be crushing. People did not produce that much. The idea that a tax of 50% or more could be applied is laughable.

Hey Crop rotation! It would be amusing if it was tried but the plants were too different and the whole thing failed. OR If someone were transported to some place like Sub-Sahara Africa (before the Arab slavers got there anyway) or Australia in the 13 century they would have no idea how to set up any agriculture.
While increasing food production is always important, reduction of disease is equally so. Clean water and sanitation were the 2 biggest factors (along with a stable food supply) for the increase in life expectancy in the 19th century.

Whats up with all these isekais where people go to farmers and tell them have to work their fucking field
You think they dont know about crop rotation? How the fuck are they still farmers then if their soil is dry as shit? You think they spend their entire lifes slaving on a field on dont notice changes????

Isn't this communist? The farms, fisheries and forestry are all managed by the MC herself. And, she's not allowing any private shops, but only shops that are overlooked by the government (viscounty). Idk man, sounds communist to me.
