Chapter 217: The Solution
If you want to reduce the burden on the tribe, there are no more than two ways, one is to open up the source, and the other is to reduce the expenditure.
Since Fengyun has rejected the proposal to charge students, it is naturally impossible to talk about throttling, and the school is still in the process of gradual improvement, especially to increase the number of teachers, the expenditure of the school will only become larger and larger in the future.
If you can't throttle, you can only use your brains on open source.
However, it is not easy to be open source, because of the limitation of productivity, even if Fengyun has worked hard, it is still very difficult to increase people's income in a short period of time.
Of course, if you trade with the outside world and take advantage of the Golden Dragon Tribe's technological advantages, you can still earn relatively high profits, but the problem is not that you can trade if you want to.
For a long time in the past, the Golden Dragon Tribe has been in a state of isolation from the outside world, which makes it difficult for it to have a trading partner.
Even if Fengyun has made contact with some tribes in the outside world because of Fengyun's efforts, how to transport the items out has become a very difficult problem.
Not to mention that the outside world is not safe, there are dangerous brute beasts everywhere, and if a relatively safe trade route is not opened, it is not only difficult to obtain profits from rashly trading with the outside world, but on the contrary, it may also bring losses in people and property.
However, none of this shook Fengyun's determination to trade with the outside world, and under his instigation, the upper echelons of the Golden Dragon Tribe also reached a consensus on this point.
Trade must be with the outside world, but it must be done slowly, not in a hurry, and this determines that if you want to solve the burden of the tribe through this, you can't count on it, at least in a short time.
However, with the current rate of resource consumption in the academy, the public property of the tribe is destined to not last for too long, at least for the time being, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on until the time when trade feeds it back.
For this reason, Fengyun also felt very troubled, but he did not give up thinking.
He believes that there are always more ways than problems, and if the problem is not solved, it is that the solution has not been found.
Fengyun decided to change his thinking, retracted his gaze from the outside world, and turned to the interior of the Golden Dragon Tribe.
Since he was not able to obtain the needs of subsidizing public property from the outside for the time being, he looked for a way from the Golden Dragon Tribe itself, and finally he set his sights on the surplus families in the tribe.
People's abilities are strong and weak, and in the world where Fengyun is now, it is more fully reflected at this point, for example, the same totem warriors, one is high-level, one is low-level, even if there is only one level difference between them, there will be a huge gap in the benefits that can be obtained.
As a result, families with high-ranking totem warriors in the tribe have richer incomes than families with low-ranking totem warriors, especially when some families have more than one high-ranking totem warrior.
Through observation, Fengyun found that the families of high-ranking totem warriors in the tribe had a lot of property idle there in addition to their normal expenses.
If this property can be included in the public property of the tribe, it can not only solve the urgent need, but may even have a surplus, at least there is no big problem in supporting the trade back.
The question, however, is how this part of the property can be brought into the public property of the tribe.
Fengyun's first thought was to collect taxes. This was the same method used by all countries around the world before he traveled, and it proved to be effective.
However, after some thought, Fengyun decided to give up on starting from here, because there is already something similar to taxation in the tribe, that is, the harvest of the people in the tribe must be handed over to the tribe in a certain proportion and act as a communist.
In this case, collecting more taxes from people is tantamount to raising taxes.
Tax hikes are a risky thing, and there are endless incidents in the world before him travels because of tax hikes.
Not to mention that the situation in the world in which Fengyun is now is relatively special, and the more wealth people have, the stronger they will be, which greatly increases the risk of tax increases.
In addition, the Golden Dragon Tribe also faces a problem that other tribes do not have, that is, it is composed of various tribes, and the relationship between members is much worse than that of a single tribe.
Especially compared to the newly joined tribes, Wu's prestige is obviously not as high as that of the people of the tribe where Fengyun was originally located, and it is easy to have problems if he raises taxes rashly, which will cause rift between the tribe that joined later and the tribe where Fengyun was originally located, and there is even the possibility of re-splitting.
This is absolutely not allowed by Fengyun, because he knows very well what population means to a tribe, especially in an environment where productivity is still relatively low, and the importance of population is even more prominent.
On this basis alone, the tax increase cannot be enforced.
Taxation is the most important source of finance, and Fengyun will never give up, but he intends to take the lead in implementing foreign trade, and then gradually promote and enrich its types, so that they can really play the function of regulating the distribution of wealth.
Taxes were denied, but Fengyun still did not take his eyes off the wealth of those wealthy families, and then find a way to get their hands on it, and then subsidize the lack of public property of the tribe.
Speaking of Fengyun, it can be regarded as lucky.
He originally decided to open two new courses, alchemy and refining, in order to obtain more golden points of light and help him break through the current level as soon as possible, but now it has become a starting point for him to help the tribe survive the financial crisis.
What's even more coincidental is that in order to obtain as many golden points of light as possible, he even did not hesitate to go down in person to publicize the magic of alchemy and refining, so that everyone in the entire Golden Dragon Tribe had a considerable degree of understanding of them and recognized his statement.
The consequence of this is that people pay more and more attention to alchemy and refining, and many people aspire to become alchemists or refiners, but they are unable to get started.
Fengyun was keenly aware of this, and decided to seize it, and use it as an opportunity to accumulate wealth, by announcing to the outside world that students from the academy could become alchemists and alchemists.
Fengyun believes that through this, a lot of wealth can be obtained, and it can be done in a very short time, and people will be very willing to get something.
He remembered very well that every time some luxury brands released new products before his crossing, many people would not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and becoming an alchemist or refiner was not only related to their own fate, but also to the fate of their families, and the rich people in the tribe should be more willing to pay the price for it.
