January 23, 1885
I have decided to have individual meetings with each member of the Praesidium. Perhaps, shorn of their allies, they will prove easier to master. The Praesidium is key to my plans. If I can master the Praesidium, then I can have capable, or at the very least, loyal administrators to begin to fix the problems in our realm. If I cannot, they will be a thorn in my side and oppose me at every turn. I still have not found a way to replace them without generating much ill will, but perhaps these meetings will allow me to make it clear what I need from each of them.
My first meeting was with the Lord Treasurer, the Lord Blackburn. I made the determination to begin with him because I believed him to be the easiest convert to my cause. After all, he is a great friend of our family and what I want to do with the public purse is not a drastic expansion. I began by asking him to report on the current state of the public purse; revenues, expenditures, surpluses, deficits, where we spent our money, etc. I learned that most of our money goes to support our standing army, the employment of our constabulary and intelligence-gathering services, the courts, and the expenditures of the royal court. I pressed him on our sources of revenue and discovered that the Protestant tax, the poll or election tax, customs duties (on both imports and exports), and the land tax, from which nobles and the clergy are exempt, are our principal sources of revenue, with the royal household's personal lands providing revenue for myself and my family. I was pleased to learn that we had no great debts owed to major banking houses, but less pleased to hear about the inequities of taxation. I laid out how taxation seemed inequitable, and that with proper reforms, we could both raise more and have a more equitable system. This would provide more revenue for education, for judicial reform, for a system of state support for industry, and other things that could truly modernise our realm. I pressed him on the subject, and all he could say was that tradition and the support of the nobles prevented any kind of income tax or extending the land tax to the nobles.
At this, I lost my temper a bit and plainly told him that I was not satisfied with this. That I would gladly have every noble despise me if it meant they would pay taxes to support the betterment of our realm and our populace. I stopped short of insulting him, thankfully, because at this, a look of grave concern appeared upon his face. He reminded me of the friendship between our families and informed me that he would prepare a report for me on the potential effects of some of the tax changes I wanted to make. I thanked him and told him he should make use of some of the students and professors at the royal university to conduct a scientific review of our expenditures, to see where we might find any money that was not being used properly or an expense that could be eliminated or reduced. I apologized for my behavior and again emphasised to him how important it was to me that I be a ruler who did his best to aid all of his people. After he left, I confess I breathed the largest sigh of relief in my life. That was almost certainly the easiest meeting I would have with a member of the Praesidium, and I lost my temper. I must control myself in the future if I am to get these old windbags on my side. A honeyed tongue will prove more successful than a sharp one.
