Chapter 83: The Way to Open Up Your Wealth
"The name of the large-scale project: urban expansion
Cost: 300 gold, cost a month, require 500 craftsmen
Effect: Expand the scale of the city, so that the scale of the city is upgraded from a small county to a medium-level county; Unlock more city buildings; Raise the city building level cap; The number of people that can accommodate has been increased from 100,000 to 200,000; increase the visibility and prosperity of the city; Improve the attraction of all kinds of talents in the field and life talents; Increases Culture Points. โ
Seeing this project, Ren Tian was really surprised and delighted, the improvement of the city level has brought too many benefits, but the cost required is really amazing, and it costs 300 gold!
Ren Tian took a look at his treasury, and it was currently only 410 gold, and if he upgraded Nanxian, there would be not much left.
He was a little hesitant, the city upgrade must be upgraded, because the promotion of the national level, from a medium-sized marquis to a large marquis, there are requirements for the city, which requires a medium-sized county seat.
It can be said that the improvement of the scale of the city is the premise of the improvement of the national level, and what Ren Tian is worried about is that now in terms of the income and expenditure of the entire new country, after upgrading the country, the treasury is only 110 gold, and it really costs money.
Another reason why it cannot be built now is that there are not enough idle craftsmen at present, and there are several large-scale projects underway in Xinguo, one is the dredging and expansion of the river in Nanxian County, which is connected to the river outside the city, and the other is the road renovation project in the entire Linchuan County, and the other is the construction of the Qinglong Mountain Pass and the mine.
These three projects basically occupy most of the craftsmen in the new country, and the remaining idle craftsmen can only help build some urban buildings.
Ren Tian checked the current treasury revenue and expenditure, and on the whole, there was still some loss.
ใTreasury Fundsใ:
Total credits: 410 gold
Monthly income: 41 gold
Monthly payout: 60.4 gold
Income and expenditure: -19.4 gold
With the unification of the entire Linchuan County, the new country supported three legions, plus the salaries of the officials in the court and the county seat, as well as the maintenance costs of the building, and the miscellaneous things added up, which was enough to break 60 gold expenditures.
At present, there is not much income at present, and there are 30 gold in taxes, which are mainly provided by Nanxian County, at present, Nanxian County alone provides 20 gold in tax income, and the remaining 51 gold is provided by Ping County and Mi County, as for the newly conquered regimental counties, there is no tax for the time being.
If the county seat of Tuan County is developed and the prosperity is sufficient, the tax provided is still very considerable.
After looking at the attribute information for a while, Ren Tian pondered for a moment and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, the new national treasury is currently in an emergency, is there a way to open up a wide range of financial routes?" โ
Yuan Lang immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, it's better to set up a few more caravans, my new country tavern has produced a new wine, called Jimo old wine, the minister went to the tavern to taste it, this kind of wine is very special, only my new country has it, the minister thinks, if this kind of wine is sold as a specialty of my new country, and sold to other states, there must be a huge profit." โ
Ren Tian asked with interest: "What is the profit?" โ
It was unexpected, but this Jimo old wine was produced so quickly, but it was a good thing.
"Your Majesty, transport a cart full of Jimo old wine, and sell it to other states, if you don't encounter bandits or other rogues, there is no loss of goods, and the profit should be at least 20 gold, if you buy some goods over there and come back, and sell them to cities or countries along the way, the profits should still be able to rise."
Ren Tian's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"What about time?"
"According to the distance, the current caravan of our new country is only a small-scale caravan, so a trip, according to the time, the farthest is almost two months."
Ren Tianfei quickly calculated, basically 10 gold a month, and he has seven cities, and he can form seven caravans, so if you calculate it, it will be 70 gold a month!
, seventy gold!
Ren Tian's eyes lit up, and he directly ordered without any hesitation: "Order, Ping County, Mi County and the other four counties will all build markets and form caravans." โ
"Yes!"
Yuan Lang received the holy decree.
Ren Tian thought for a while, and then ordered: "The other six counties will build taverns together." โ
"Yes!"
These two orders went down, Ren Tian was already extremely happy in his heart, such a special product came at such a good time, as soon as the caravan was formed, plus the taxes, it should be enough money.
It's just that at this time, Situ Zhang Guangzhi suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, the caravan profit is not as high as Yuan Lang said, the caravan needs to hire a dart bureau to defend, and it also needs to pay taxes when going to the other city, and the transaction also needs to collect taxes, among which the consumption of people and hired people, after deduction, basically the net profit will be cut by another third, or even halved."
Ren Tian calculated, there is 5 gold for cutting in half, and if there are seven caravans, it will be 35 gold a month, which is enough, and it is very profitable.
"Even if it is cut in half, there is a profit, needless to say, I have made up my mind."
The construction of the tavern and the market made the treasury deduct 78 gold, 410 gold, and in an instant there was only 332 gold.
After having the market, it will take a while to form a caravan, and it will not be able to generate profits during this period, so Ren Tian's eyes are looking at the rest of the courtiers again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are there any other ways to make money?"
Sikong Duhong hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, why don't you raise taxes?" โ
"Huh?"
Ren Tian frowned, quite displeased, raising taxes, the people's morale in the new country will decline, and raising taxes is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, there is no need for this.
"Is there any other way than raising taxes?"
The scale of Nanxian City needs 300 gold, and the country definitely needs spare reserve funds, that is to say, the treasury needs to have 400 gold, and Ren Tian will order this to carry out this project, otherwise now the order is issued, the treasury is only 30 gold, and if there is any accident, it will go bankrupt directly, bringing a series of negative effects, but Ren Tian can't afford it.
Again, Ren Tian must also build the city quickly, otherwise if it drags on, he may fall behind the rest of the players.
From here, it can also be seen that the different choices of this game are good or bad, if the player does not have many cities, such as the player who started two cities on the forum before, the scale of the city has been improved early, a city, enough craftsmen, enough funds, no matter what the project speed is very fast, you can get out of the technology tree early, and even if you don't get it in the middle of the game, you can directly pull out an S-class army and sweep the world.
The disadvantage of having more cities in the country is also obvious, the treasury is obviously insufficient, and only when the rest of the cities develop and prosper, taxes will increase, but this will also take a lot of time.
Different development methods have different consequences, and Ren Tian didn't plan to occupy a county so quickly at the beginning, but since it has become a fact, he can only continue on this road.
Xie Dang stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea. โ
