Fengxiang, who had just been upgraded to a first-class township, had only four subordinate territories, a population of only a few thousand, and only a few dozen troops trapped in the camp, and the absolute value of salary expenditure was not large. In stark contrast, the territory has shown strong strength in terms of generating zào income, with monthly sales of more than 12o million gold in just one transfer order! Of course, the golden age of sales has become a thing of the past.

The current Fengxiang has a significant increase in production capacity compared to before, but the troops of ten dependent territories, more than 20,000 people, and 2ooo people are ...... Expenses are growing much more than revenues! Such a situation directly led to a decline in the net profit of the territory.

Massive increases in military spending, subsidized policies for female NPCs and artisans, huge research funding for top dockyards...... While these measures have steadily increased the overall strength of the territory, they also mean that a lot of money is spent. However, Ah Niu will never save these investments! Moreover, this assessment is "open source" rather than "throttling", and the money that should be spent is still spent!

Fengxiang's current production capacity has increased by a few times compared with when it was just upgraded to a first-class township, but the gross profit of the territory has a significant downward trend. This involves the dialectical relationship between "income" and "gross profit".

- It's not that the higher the sales, the more profits, and the two are not necessarily "proportional"!

Gross profit of the territory = total income - total expenditure, which includes production costs, raw materials, labor salaries, construction costs, research inputs (such as shipyards), military expenses, and operating expenses of various departments......

In the opinion of a mayor, if a territory is purely for the purpose of pursuing gross profits, then it is almost certain that the territory will not have much expansion. The correct approach is to maintain a certain amount of liquidity and continue to invest the profits earned in various fields, so that the territory can be healthy and sustainable.

Feng Xiang is basically doing it according to this idea, and so far, the effect is not bad. Because of this, Ah Niu is not too worried about Feng Xiang's apparent profit reduction.

In the test of upgrading the city, the growth of "pure profit" is not used as the assessment indicator. There are still many ways to increase the total income and per capita income of the territory by 75 per cent.

In order to increase income, you can roughly start from two aspects: "production" and "price", and in these two options, "price" is quickly cut by Ah Niu.

- Whether it is "price reduction" or "price increase", it can only be a short-term behavior, and may not achieve the goal of increasing revenue. A Niu, who deeply understands the lewdness of the system, does not intend to speculate on such a thing as upgrading the territory, who knows if there will be a test mechanism similar to the "assessment period" after the upgrade is successful?

In this way, it seems that the only effort is to focus on "output", but not all commodities are suitable for expanding the scale of production.

It is a good thing to increase production, but it is a waste of manpower and material resources if the things produced cannot be sold. For example, the sales of carpenter's shops, grocery stores, inns, and medical centers (labor is also productivity) have always been relatively stable, and it is simply unrealistic to think about how much they can increase at once. Unless a town mayor explodes, a carpenter's shop or grocery store conjures up new specialties out of thin air, or there is a large-scale epidemic in the territory to increase the income of the medical center.

But how can the specialty be said to be there, Fengxiang Town has been exhibited all the way to the present, and there is only a real specialty of "Baihua Wine"; From a technical point of view, there's nothing wrong with artificially creating a large-scale epidemic in the territory, but the mayor of a town doesn't seem to be that mentally retarded.

The commodities that can really make a fuss on the "output" need to meet at least the basic condition of "not worrying about not being able to sell", and there are not many such commodities in Fengxiang Town, but there are more or less so few.

Among the existing commodities in Fengxiang Town, which are suitable for expanding the scale of production, they are: Baihua wine, silk, and Nanban armor.

~~ Baihua wine, one of the top ten famous wines in China, the only specialty of Fengxiang.

In the meantime, Fengxiang's brewery due to the lack of chefs, the main focus is on the manufacture of turbid wine, the daily production of Baihua wine is only a pitiful 15 bottles, every day the tavern Baihua wine is robbed early, the need is huge!

Before Ah Niu went to Luoyang, he entrusted the human steaming to train chefs for the territory, in order to improve the output of Baihua wine in the brewery, so far the human steaming has trained three batches of junior chefs with a total of 30 people, and the fourth batch of apprentices still has five days to go out, and there is no problem with Baihua wine to increase production!

Under the keen attention of a town mayor, the production of Baihua wine in Fengxiang Town began to be raised. In reality, the production of liquor takes a long time, but fortunately this is not the case in the game, otherwise Ah Niu would have gone crazy.

In addition to the 3O celebrities trained in human steaming, there are also 8 chefs who came to settle down during Ah Niu's trip to Luoyang, and 38 people are all engaged in the production of Baihua Liquor, and the daily output of Fengxiang Baihua Liquor has increased from 15 bottles to 75 bottles. Five days later, after the fourth batch of apprentices from the world of steaming was released, the production could reach 91 bottles, which means that the tavern's sales can increase by 76oo gold per day!

In fact, this figure is not necessarily accurate, and it is not difficult to attract two or three chefs to settle in 15 days with Fengxiang's ability to attract talents.

~~ Silk, Sangzi Town, the silkworm base of Fengxiang Town, is also subject to the lack of talents, but after uninterrupted training, the large-scale expansion of silk production is not difficult. The only thing that needs to be solved is the problem of marketing.

First put silk into the ranks of "not worrying about selling", and now it is said that it is necessary to solve the problem of sales, which seems to be a contradiction, but in fact it is not. Silk can't be sold to players, this kind of high-end commodity is not something that ordinary NPCs can consume, even if Fengxiang's per capita income is not low, but the demand for a township is not high. The main market for silk was not in the territory.

It is important to open up the market, but first we must increase production. The two senior weavers sent by Kong Rong have brought out 6o apprentices, and in five days, Fengxiang's weaving team will grow to 82 people.

According to Lu Erniang, the only female mayor of Fengxiang, when there are enough silkworm cocoons, two senior weavers plus 8o junior weavers can produce about 4o horses of silk per day. Now the market price of silk is about 32o gold / horse, calculated in silk production can increase Fengxiang's daily income by 128oo gold!

Hearing such good news, Ah Niu couldn't help but send Kong Rong a "good" word in his heart, Kong Beihai gave Feng Xiang two senior weavers, it was simply two money printing machines! However, the mayor of a certain town was not carried away by the good news, and until he found a buyer for silk, the income of silk was only in the air.

"It seems that I have to ask Gong Zheng for help again this time......" Ah Niu said with a wry smile.

As early as not long after Fengxiang became the first town in the world, Gong Zheng reluctantly showed Ah Niu that it was not suitable to provide Fengxiang with talent help. Of course, Ah Niu also understands Gong Zheng's difficulties, and in fact, a certain town mayor has indeed not troubled Gong Zheng for a long time.

However, this time it is a matter of whether the territory can be successfully upgraded to a city, and Ah Niu is not looking for Gong Zheng to ask for talents. The imperial court has a tradition of buying silk to meet export sales, and it is not illegal to find Gong Zheng to match. Thinking of this, Feng Xiang's envoy soon set fire on the road.

~~ Nanban Armor, the standard equipment of the first to ascend to the dead. It can be used at level 4o and has superior performance, which makes Nanban armor also have a broad market among players.

Prior to this, the Nanban armor produced by Feng Xiang was mainly used to advance the dead, and although it was also produced after the Beihai mission, it was all stored as a strategic reserve, and only Ah Niu's close ally Zilong would be fortunate enough to "forcibly buy" dozens of sets for his own use. Maybe the Nanban armor produced in Fengxiang Town is too punctual, and Zhao Long has put forward "non-share" to Ah Niu several times on the way to Luoyang because of the Nanban armor. In line with the "sincere unity" between allies, Ah Niu finally relented when Zhao Long "strongly requested" for the third time.

Fengxiang's tailor team started early, with master tailors like Zhao Jiang's, Fengxiang's number of tailors is not a lot, to produce Nanban armor in large quantities, there is no shortage of talents. The problem is in the raw materials.

Although most of the materials required for the 4O level Nanban armor are easy to handle, there is a material called "dragon scales" that is an exception. The dragon scales are not actually dragon scales, but rather monster scales that look like crocodiles named "ichthyosaurs". Previously, in order to make the first dead soldier change his clothes, Fengxiang Town basically scavenged the dragon scales in the player's hands.

The ichthyosaurus is not difficult to kill, but this monster seems to have a very strong "local concept", and it only appears on the map of the sea of clouds in Mount Emei, and it is impossible to see it in other places, and the number of refreshes is very small. "Love family" is nothing, Zilong will have a lot of people, Ah Niu followed the trend 1iu chic Zhao Long, Zhao Long, who had long hoped to be equipped with a large number of Nanban armor in the gang, did not say a word, and sent people to squat in the sea of clouds in Mount Emei to kill the fish dragon.

But ichthyosaurs not only "love home", but also love their scales. Originally, there were not many of them, and the chance of dropping dragon scales after killing them was even lower to make people vomit blood! At the end of the day, the harvest was only enough to make ten pieces of Nanban armor. The dragon scales are the dedication of the Zilong Society, and the price at which the Nanban armor is sold cannot be too high, at the price of 3ooo gold/piece, the sale of the Nanban armor can increase the income of 3ooo gold for the territory every day.

The three major growth points of Baihua wine, silk, and Nanban armor can increase the income of 234oo gold for the territory every day, and a town mayor is still quite satisfied with this harvest.

Many things that seem impossible to do are actually not as difficult as imagined, the key is to do them!

Even so, Fengxiang's upgrade prospects are still not optimistic. Although it can increase the income of 234oo gold, to achieve 75% revenue growth, there is still a huge gap of at least 132ooo gold! Fengxiang Town, where the magic weapon is exhausted, what will be used to fill this big hole?

What's more, a certain mayor has now thought that even if the state government agrees to buy Fengxiang's silk, the price may have to be discounted.
