Chapter 110: Revenue and Expenditure

On April 30, it was time to sell sea salt again, and the monthly net income of the Beidui Salt Farm was 3,600 gold coins.

Another pillar industry of the territory, the Wolf Mountain Mine, has become the primary industry of the territory in one fell swoop because the number of miners increased to 5,000 in April, and the monthly net income reached 8,500 gold coins, far surpassing the Beidui Salt Farm.

Coupled with the previous balance of 900 gold coins, Ouyang Shuo held 13,000 gold coins in cash. This amount of money may seem like a lot, but after deducting daily expenses, there are not so many funds that can actually be used.

Ouyang Shuo directly allocated 5,000 gold coins to the Finance Department for the financial expenses of the territory.

The first is military spending. With the expansion of the size of the armed forces, military expenditures have increased dramatically, and the monthly military salaries alone are a large amount of expenses.

Since the economy of the territory was prosperous, Ouyang Shuo's monthly subsidy standard for soldiers and soldiers was directly increased tenfold. A first-order soldier can get a monthly salary of ten silver coins, and so on, a ninth-order soldier can get a monthly salary of ninety silver coins. The fire commander has one gold coin per month, the squadron leader has five gold coins per month, and the battalion leader has twenty gold coins per month.

Taking the cavalry battalion as an example, the average rank of a non-commissioned officer is the fourth rank, and the monthly salary of an ordinary non-commissioned officer is 180 gold coins. With the addition of fifty fire commanders, five squadron leaders, and one battalion commander, the monthly salary of the cavalry battalion is 275 gold coins. For four regular battalions, a month's salary is 1,100 gold coins. Coupled with the consumption of grain, grass, weapons and equipment, the military expenditure for a month is close to 1,400 gold coins.

The second is government spending. With the addition of grassroots administrative staff in various departments and departments, government expenditure is also considerable. Grassroots government officers are paid 1 gold coin per month, the secretary is 10 gold coins per month, and the director is 25 gold coins per month. Combined with the consumption of office supplies such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other expenses, the monthly government expenditure is close to 500 gold coins.

Then there is the public spending. In order to raise funds for the system auction, the construction department has not yet paid salaries for the four major infrastructure projects that have been completed: the city wall, the moat project, the territory renewal project, the friendship town wall project, and the road project. The average daily salary of a craftsman is 100 copper coins, and the labor expenditure of the four major infrastructure projects alone amounts to 1,000 gold coins.

Of course, the project cost is a one-time expense, not every month.

In addition, with the rapid expansion of the scale, the monthly wage expenditure has reached more than 1,500 gold coins.

Especially in the military industry like the Jiafang Division, the recruits are precious skilled talents, and it is not okay to lower the salary. Thirty silver coins per month for apprentices, one gold coin per month for junior skilled talents, hardware coins per month for intermediate skilled talents, and ten gold coins per month for senior skilled talents.

Finally, there is one big item, and that is the cost of basic benefits. The basic benefits include 100 units of food coupons, 20 units of meat coupons, a piece of fur, a set of ordinary linen clothes, and a voucher of 20 silver coins, which is converted into about 32 silver coins. Although a large part of these funds are left-handed and right-handed for the FSD, each displaced person still consumes about 15 silver coins. The base camp has 75 homeless people every day, which is 1125 silver coins, and about 340 gold coins a month. If you add three subordinate territories, it is an investment of thousands of gold coins a month.

These are only the five most important expenditures, and do not include other fiscal expenditures such as education expenditures and public health expenditures. April's fiscal revenue was less than 1,000 gold coins, and if it weren't for the support of the Beidui Salt Farm and the Wolf Mountain Mine, the Finance Department would have been unable to support it.

Since the privatization in February, these fiscal expenditures have been vague. Not to mention in February, the privatization had just begun, and at that time the scale was not as big as it is now, and there was basically no feeling. In March, the financial crisis had slowly become prominent, but at that time, Ouyang Shuo had been suppressing this matter in order to raise funds for the auction.

By April, the Territory's finances had begun to improve, and there were no major additional expenses. Only then did Ouyang Shuo begin to gradually regularize these expenditures, and at the same time make up for the expenses owed in the previous two months at one time.

It is only in April that the privatization of Shanhai Town is completely completed, so to speak. In the first two months, there were still many shadows of the planned economy in it. Without the support of the Wolf Mountain Mine, Ouyang Shuo would not have the confidence to promote this matter by relying on the industry of the Beidusk Salt Farm alone.

At present, the salary level of all kinds of personnel in Shanhai Town is relatively close to the salary level of Wangcheng. What is heritage? That's the bottom line. While other territories were still eating big pot rice, Shanhai Town had already begun to implement a privatization strategy. When more than eighty percent of the territory could only maintain food and clothing, the income of the residents of Shanhai Town was already on par with that of Wangcheng.

Ouyang Shuo did this, of course, not just to hide the wealth of the people. The deeper purpose is to take advantage of the huge advantages of Shanhai Town in the early stage to increase the income of residents and increase the consumption level of the territory, so as to stimulate the rapid development of the territory economy. Only when everyone has spare money in their hands, they will be willing to buy meat to eat, willing to wear new clothes, willing to go to restaurants and restaurants, and willing to buy jewelry for the women in the family.

All of this goes hand in hand. Today's huge investment is for tomorrow's greater return. Only by making the cake bigger can we really raise the tax revenue of the territory. Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal is that in the future, even if there are no industries such as the Beidui Salt Farm and the Wolf Mountain Mine, the tax revenue of the territory alone will be enough to support the huge financial expenditure and support the huge army.

In any case, the golden rooster that will lay eggs again will always run out one day. There will always be a day when the Wolf Mountain Mine will be hollowed out, and the income of the North Dusk Salt Farm will become negligible in the future. People have no long-term worries, and Ouyang Shuo doesn't want to be a short-sighted lord who can only lie on the gold mountain and count money.

After removing the funds allocated to the Finance Bureau, Ouyang Shuo still has 8,000 gold coins in his hand, which is still a huge amount of money. This money, of course, he is not ready to sit idle like this.

Ouyang Shuo rushed to the intermediate market, first spent 200 gold coins to buy a high-level market architectural drawing, and prepared to upgrade the market to high-level and open a negotiation and cooperation platform. Only by opening this negotiation and cooperation platform can Shanhai Town trade weapons and equipment with Bai Hua and other allies.

Next, Ouyang Shuo clicked on the special items column and retrieved the cheats. In addition to leaving 3,000 gold coins for backup, the remaining 4,800 gold coins are ready to be used to stock up on genuine cheats.

There are countless cheats below the king level on the market, regardless of whether they are true or false, with an average of 50 silver coins for a bronze-level cheats, 2 gold coins for black-iron cheats, 10 gold coins for silver-level cheats, and 50 gold coins for gold-level cheats. The "Yue Nu Sword Codex" that Ouyang Shuo gave to Song Jia before is a gold-level genuine cheatbook.

As for the cheats above the gold level, they are very rare. King-level cheats appear occasionally, and there are basically no king-level cheats. As for god-level cheats and saint-level cheats, it is impossible to buy them through the market.

Ouyang Shuo hoarded genuine cheats, and naturally took the boutique route, so he only focused on gold-level cheats. To his surprise, when collecting genuine gold-level cheats, he was lucky enough to come across a royal-level marksmanship cheatbook "Yang Family Gun Sutra", which cost 1,000 gold coins.

Ouyang Shuo bought it without hesitation and checked the attributes of the cheats.

[Name]: "Yang Family Gun Sutra" (Imperial Exercises)

[Routine]: Big Flower Gun / Flower War Gun / Seventeen War Gun / Military War Gun / Pear Flower Eight Mother Gun / Chen War Gun / Small Flower Gun

[Special move]: Throat Lock Gun/Return Horse Gun

[Weapon]: Yangjia pear flower gun

[Evaluation]: Yang family gun, full name Yang family pear flower gun, is said to be the marksmanship created by Yang Miaozhen, the wife of Li Quan, the leader of the Red Jacket Army in the late Southern Song Dynasty. The Yang family's marksmanship is the best in the world, the front hand is hard and the back hand is hard, and the back hand is empty. Go like an arrow back like a line, and the hand is anxious and piercing people's faces. Dancing flower guns, dazzling. The throat gun is unstoppable. Back to the horse pistol, the gods are difficult to defend. Strange recklessness turned over, pear blossoms covered the top, and the oolong turned over the river out of the beach. The embroidered girl shuttled to the sun and the moon, and the Golden Gate Stone opened to grab Anhui. If you want to ask the name and surname of this gun, Qilang and Eight Tigers guard the border.

The Yang family gun is considered to be the first gun in the martial arts world, and it is also known as the pear flower gun because it sways like a pear blossom when dancing. Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty pointed out in the "New Book of Ji Xiao": The Yang family gun is unpredictable, the deification is endless, and the world is still salty. After getting this cheats, Ouyang Shuo finally had a major marksmanship cheats.

Emperor-level cheats are already extremely rare, and in the previous life, for so many years, there have been no god-level cheats in total. As for the saint-level cheats, they belong to the legend, and no one can see them.

Genuine royal cheats, it is not a simple matter to practice it. The ancients practiced guns, that is, they began to lay the foundation from a young age, and after years of hard work, they endured all the hardships, plus the guidance of famous teachers, they could be trained. Players are just using virtual network technology to make a trick. If Ouyang Shuo hadn't had the foundation of nearly four months of hard training on the big gun pile, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to enter the door.

Except for the only emperor-level cheats of the "Yang Family Gun Sutra", Ouyang Shuo has never encountered a satisfactory genuine cheats, and he has not even found a king-level cheats.

In desperation, Ouyang Shuo had to use the remaining 3,800 gold coins to buy seventy-six genuine gold-level cheats, almost sweeping away the genuine cheats on the market.
