Chapter 66 The Secretary of State for the Interior
Next.
"Big guy...... No, the city lord! The news has reached Anjia, and Anjia replied that two days later, he will bring 200,000 gold coins to show his sincerity. ”
"Not bad. Chen Yi shook the wine glass, which was filled with craft wine, although it was a drink, it had a refreshing mellow aroma.
It's the breath of money.
In front of you, the high-grade beef on the table, as long as the heat is appropriate, even if no seasonings are added, it also has a very attractive meat aroma.
The seat cushion is the best velvet, just two words - comfortable!
Chen Yi had to sigh, those who will enjoy it, this little day is so nourishing!
At this time, Nino was behind Chen Yi's right, pouting, and looking at Chen Yi with a sad face.
"But......" Wang Ergou paused and said worriedly: "Last night, a few villagers wanted to enter the city, but they were stopped by the city lord's people and thrown into the dungeon, I am afraid that this incident will cause ......"
"Villagers?" Chen Yi stood up, "Where are the villagers?"
Nino reminded in a low voice, "There are usually villages around the city, as little as one or two, as many as five or six. Anza city is surrounded by two villages. The village is protected by the power of the city, and at the same time, when the crops are sold in the city, the income brought by the city is also distributed to the city. ”
Chen Yi suddenly realized, and asked again, "How much?"
"Sixty percent. ”
"Sixty percent?!This is a special cannibalism!" Chen Yi rushed to Wang Ergou and grabbed Wang Ergou, "Sixty percent of what you specified?"
"No! It's not me! It's Anjia! They told me to squeeze the income of those peasants, and they also said that these people at the bottom would not be good if they were squeezed......
Nino stepped forward and said, "Boss, those villagers are protected, so it's ...... to pay some protection money."
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "This will reduce the enthusiasm of farmers." He looked at the Minister of the Interior, who had been selected from the Assassin Order, and ordered: "Tell those men to increase the amount of timber they collect, and build a farm in addition to those buildings." ”
Which buildings?
Although Chen Yi now has six building speedy orders in his hands, he doesn't want to use them up at once, so he always has to keep a few for backup. Some buildings of low importance are called craftsmen to build.
Therefore, there are only three buildings that use the Rapid Construction Order - the Assassins' Guild, the Stonemason's Guild, and the Farmstead.
The Guild of Assassins was mainly used to recruit Assassins, train Assassins, and more.
The Stonemason's Guild was because the defense facilities and buildings in Ansha City were too simple, and all of them were made of wood, so Chen Yi decided to build the Stonemasons' Guild and update the building inside and out.
As for the farms, they mainly resettled the peasants and developed agriculture.
After the farm is built, Chen Yi will use the wood attribute mana in the wood spirit totem to inject it into the soil to speed up the growth of crops and double the harvest.
For example, crops can be harvested once in the corresponding season, and Chen Yi's operation may be able to harvest two, three, or even ten times in a season!
When the time comes, people will be sent to teach farming skills such as crop rotation, and by the way, water canals will be repaired, and agriculture in Ansha City will only flourish.
As a commercial city, the Chamber of Commerce is naturally indispensable, but the scale is not satisfactory, so the Chamber of Commerce is listed as a building to be expanded.
Buildings built by craftsmen are functional buildings such as barracks, training grounds, schools, and watchtowers.
In addition to the barracks for recruiting defenders, the training ground for training, the school for imparting knowledge, and the most special thing is the watchtower!
The watchtower envisioned by Chen Yi is a building like a huge chimney, with an observation post set up at the top, and super-large searchlights are all placed in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
"In the surrounding villages, some peasants were recruited to live in the farms, and each person was given a guarantee subsidy of one gold coin per month, and at the same time, the 60 percent tax on income was abolished, and the crops were handed over to 20 percent, and the rest was distributed freely. ”
"The city... City Lord, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules......" Wang Ergou said cautiously.
"Don't worry, my 10% tax will be more than the 60% tax income of Anjia. ”
"No, city lord, I'm talking about a guarantee subsidy of one gold coin...... Even the top craftsmen in Ansha City only earn a ...... of gold coins per month Those peasants would not have earned more than twenty silver coins......"
"Silver coins?" Chen Yi thought for a moment, and then said, "What are the currency rules of the Nohir Continent?"
Nino said in a low voice: "One hundred copper coins for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins for one gold coin." There may be more coins on top of the coins, but none of the nearby cities use them, so we don't know. ”
"Oh!" Chen Yi suddenly realized, it turned out that he was too rich, and in the storage space, all the gold coins obtained from killing Rivers could not touch these.
"Then the guarantee subsidy and income tax will be abolished, and the farmers who come to the farm will receive one gold coin a month and all the crops will be handed over. ”
Chen Yi is very confident, with his knowledge of fur agriculture, he can still slightly better in these places where there is no fur.
Coupled with the gain brought by the Muling Totem, the monthly income of farmers is one gold coin, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, the income of crops may be far away from this number!
"Also, when I finish building the Masons' Guild, I will tell them to clear the road of debris and pave the stone road, so that trade will be more efficient. The walls were also replaced with stone, and during this period, the recruitment of defenders was strengthened and the level of vigilance was strengthened. ”
"Yes!" the Minister of the Interior immediately withdrew from the castle lord's dwelling and went to tell his men what was going on.
"He's the most efficient person in the organization, and when things are settled, he says yes. Previously, he was the head of internal affairs in Il. But after learning of the inhumane things Il had done, he resigned from his position. Il threatened his family with his own life and kept it a secret. We rescued him, and his family was placed in a house in the city of Il. Nino said.
"Hmm. Chen Yi nodded, looked at Wang Ergou and said, "In the future, you will live in Ansha City, if you escape, you will be killed!"
When Wang Ergou heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"However, you still retain the power of the nobility, and you can receive ten gold coins every month without conditions, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! satisfied!" Wang Ergou was overjoyed, and nodded again and again, he was already very satisfied that he could survive, and now he still retains his aristocratic status, and he still has income to get! This is many times better than only squeezing the people at the bottom!
"Go to the Minister of the Interior, and he'll give you a place to stay, but I want you to do more for Anza City, and earn more, understand?"
"Understood! understood!" Wang Ergou stood up and fled from the city lord's residence.
The next thing Chen Yi has to do is to wait for the timber to be collected and see the magical function of the construction order.
