Chapter 1050 Protection Fee
Xun Yan's comprehensive assessment of the economy of the territory made everyone's hearts heavy.
The crisis is prominent, and the road ahead is difficult.
The economic problems of the deer collar have been around for a long time, and the main sticking point is also well known: the salary standard is too high.
Speaking of the bane of high salaries, it was planted as early as the stage when the territory was sprinted from the countryside to the township. As the first territory to accept the test of leapfrog upgrade, the Champion must increase its per capita income by 100% on the original basis. At that time, there were few people in the territory, and Yu Buzhi had been trading with the tribe very early, and the territory was quite rich, and the high salary standard could afford it. However, as the population of the territory continues to grow substantially, income growth lags behind wage growth, and the wage burden becomes heavier.
Until now, the economic crisis has not been completely detonated, entirely because of the super ability to attract money, which has delayed the outbreak of the crisis. However, after the development of the capital stage, the population growth rate is far more ferocious than before, and the new profits obtained from the growth of the territory's production capacity cannot fully offset the salary expenses brought by the new population, and the result is naturally that the territory's finances cannot make ends meet.
If there is no way to solve this chronic disease, the number one in the world will go bankrupt sooner or later.
"I've done the math, there won't be a problem with the first-level capital." Yi Fengdao, without the slightest color on his face, continued: "With the current level, Zhulu City has the ability to guarantee the income level of 200,000 peak population, if the operating costs are well controlled, unnecessary consumption and waste are reduced, and there may even be spare strength to support the brother stronghold." But the population continues to grow, and the next stage ...... It's hard to guarantee. β
Yi Feng is ashamed.
The main city has always been the most valuable asset of the territory, and it is inherently responsible for transfusing blood for the newly established stronghold. Holding the most essential part of the territory, Yi Feng has long been accustomed to appearing as a solid backing for the territory economy, and has always done a good job. suddenly realized that the blood transfusion ability of Zhulu City was unsustainable, and the loneliness and shame in my heart can be imagined.
"Today's plan is to open up sources and reduce expenditure." Xun Yan continued.
He is responsible for evaluation, and does not just report problems without actively seeking solutions to them.
"In terms of open source, Deputy City Lord Yi has almost achieved the ultimate under the existing conditions, unless there are new variables, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a significant change. Moreover, even if there are other revenue growth points in the future, it is difficult to ensure the continuation of the existing compensation system. β
"So, I think it's better to find a way to throttle."
"There is a strategy that can completely solve the territorial problem......" Xun Yan looked at the fish unwisely, and stopped talking.
Xu Shu, Yi Feng, Zhai Jian and the others all looked moved, and they all immediately guessed what Xun Yan's method was. In the case of the territory, the imbalance between revenue and expenditure is a structural problem, which cannot be easily solved by minor repairs, and requires fundamental reforms. Combined with Xun Yan's attitude towards "open source" and "throttling", what his method is, in fact, is about to come out.
Yu Buzhi asked, "Salary cut?" β
"Yes."
"Not yet." Yu Buzhi did not hesitate to veto.
"Lord Daben." Xun Yan smiled bitterly.
Several Wenchen also sighed secretly in their hearts.
The territory is burdened by high salaries, and reducing wages is indeed a way to cure both the symptoms and the root causes.
Everyone understands this truth, and in the past, when the economy of the territory was most difficult, there were also suggestions to the lords, believing that reducing salaries would have more advantages than disadvantages for the deer leaders. Needless to say, the disadvantages are mainly manifested in territorial satisfaction, and salary cuts will definitely have an impact on satisfaction. However, several deputy city lords have discussed many times in private, if the salary reduction is appropriate, and the salary level of the territory is still maintained at a higher than average level, the decline in the satisfaction of the villagers should not be too obvious, and they can give it a try, so as to remove the heavy shackles that bind their hands and feet.
The proposal to cut wages was not implemented entirely because Yu was unwise and opposed it.
Reason for objection: Since the original promise was made, this promise should be kept, which is a matter of faith.
Faith is the foundation of life.
Although the civil officials have opinions, they are inconvenient to say more, and they can only regret and sigh that someone is kind-hearted. Xun Yan is a die-hard fan of the lord, and he has always unconditionally supported any decision of the lord, but at this time, the old matter was brought up again, obviously racking his brains and not thinking of any other way, hoping that the lord would face the reality and change his mind.
It's a pity that the lord's attitude still hasn't loosened, which makes everyone both moved and worried.
"Let's work hard to make money!" Fish are not wise.
Why didn't he know that the salary issue had endangered the territory?
It's not that he doesn't want to take a pay cut, but he doesn't dare.
The territory is about to go bankrupt and still stick to the so-called faith, that is not benevolence, it is stupid!
The question of faith is just a faΓ§ade.
But the game has the rules of the game, and the implementation of high salaries is not a utopia on his whim, but an additional test that must be completed to upgrade the territory. It is easy to cut salaries, and the impact of public opinion is not a big problem, after all, it is not a joke to lead high satisfaction, and what Yu is not afraid of is that the salary cut will be judged by Futu as a violation and will be punished.
Being punished by the system is by no means unwise.
An anonymous lord player on the forum wept blood and stated: An NPC claiming to be a farmer's heir came to the territory, served for several months, and finally received the serial quest "Farmhouse Revival". The premise of the mission is that the lord supports the peasant heirs to fully develop agriculture, and the two parties agree that the number of dependent territories with agriculture as the direction of development shall not be less than half of the total number of dependent territories.
The lord has always kept his promises, and the mission has been done along the way, and the harvest has been very fruitful.
But then there was an accident.
Once the province was upgraded and two new subordinate provinces were obtained, the lord was still preparing to take out one of the subordinate provinces to develop agriculture as usual. However, there was a problem at the execution level, and due to the mistake of the deputy city lord, the successful vassal territory was created first and designated for manufacturing production. The creation of the second agricultural subordinate was only a few minutes late, and the farmer's heirloom brushed his sleeves away, and the chain of tasks came to an abrupt end.
The lord's bowels are all repentant, and he doesn't even have a chance to make amends!
Yin Jian is in front, how dare you dare to defy the law if you are not wise!
If the salary promise during the leapfrog promotion is deliberately broken, it is obviously a hundred times more serious than the unintentional mistake of the anonymous territory, and it is possible to directly determine the downgrade of the territory. Of course, given the essential difference between the two things, salary cuts may not be punished, but unless it is a last resort, such as the desperate situation of bankruptcy without a salary cut, Yu Buzhi resolutely does not consider the possibility of a salary cut.
Regarding the high salary, his attitude is that as long as he can hold on, he will continue to hold on.
Now it is only a crisis, and it is far from a desperate situation, and Yu Buzhi will naturally not rashly agree to a salary cut.
Xu Shu was the first to come out of the regret of the lord's refusal to reduce his salary, and arched his hand: "In this case, let's start collecting the protection fee of the famous city." β
The famous city protection fee system, the initiator is the thirteen young people of Donghai Xiangmiao Street.
The first person who thought of this method was unwise.
Worried about the public outrage caused by the protection fee, this guy pretended to be kind to remind the thirteen young people in Temple Street that the other party was short of money, and he would probably jump down hard-headed knowing that it was a pit and become the first person to eat crabs. The development of things is indeed the case, the thirteen young people in the temple street were scolded in the forum, but the people who covet the famous city, scolded and scolded, and paid the protection fee that called a enthusiastic, and then the wind gradually changed, and the shameful scolding of the protection fee was less, and the scolding of his dark box operation and not selling it to himself became the mainstream, and the famous city protection fee system has been accepted by players.
Xu Shu is also in charge of the intelligence center and has been monitoring the progress in this area.
Although Ba County is inevitably despised, the bad feeling given to people will certainly not be as hateful as that of Donghai Kingdom. The deer leader originally planned to enter the field in another year and a half to reduce the hatred value as much as possible, but now that the territorial crisis has emerged, the lord is determined to defend the faith of the deer chaser, and Xu Shu can't care so much.
"Yes." Fish are not wise.
