Severny put down the quill pen in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose lightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, she looked left and right to make sure that there was no one else in the city lord's office now, and she stretched out her arms and stretched hard.

Because of the comfort of stretching after stretching, Severny felt a little better, but he involuntarily stuck out his tongue and smiled embarrassedly.

The strict education she received from growing up in the royal family made her always maintain a near-perfect image in front of others, and even the stretching that ordinary people could do casually could only be done secretly when no one was in private for her.

Even so, it still makes her feel like she has done something bad, and she feels a little unhappy in her heart.

But it's also something that can't be helped, it's too tiring.

Seeing that it was already the end of the year, as the lord of Bonta City, there was a lot of work that had to be done by Severny himself.

All sorts of things had piled up so that she hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep for nearly a week, so much so that she felt extremely tired now.

But after all, this is the first time she has come to Bangta City to serve as the city lord, and she is still burdened with her father's expectations for her, so naturally she can't relax at all.

Perhaps the best consolation for her was to see first-hand the astonishing and delightful changes that had taken place in the city of Bonta through the various detailed reports of the various elaborate reports on these days of work.

According to Bang Ta City's annual financial statistics report, the total tax revenue of Bang Ta City has exceeded 5.73 million gold coins so far this year.

And because this year hasn't quite passed. If you include the last month's tax. Then the total annual tax revenue of Bangta City. It's definitely going to be more than six million gold coins!

And if it weren't for the fact that in the first half of this year, when Earl Stark was the lord of the city, he still adopted a policy of suppressing commerce and rejuvenating agriculture, and the commercial tax of Bangta City fell in the first half of the year.

Then, according to the trend of the second half of the year, Bangta City's annual tax revenue may even exceed the 10 million gold coin mark!

Thinking of this number, Sevini only felt that there was a large area of gold in front of her, which made her hardly believe this fact.

You know, last year, the tax revenue of the entire Lampari Kingdom was only about 2 million gold coins.

And now just in the city of Bangta, the tax collected may exceed 10 million gold coins.

Although in accordance with the regulations of the Kingdom Council. Each city in the kingdom only pays a small percentage of taxes to the kingdom's treasury, but if every city in the kingdom of Lampari can collect more than 10 million gold coins a year like Bangta City, then the kingdom's finances will definitely become completely different.

If the annual financial income of the Lampari Kingdom can exceed 10 million gold coins, instead of the pitiful one or two million gold coins in previous years, then the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom will definitely be greatly improved.

After all, having money is a very important thing, both for an individual and for a country.

Of course, although the tax revenue of Bangta City is extremely high, it also spends a lot of money.

Ever since Severny took over as lord of the city. The renovation of Buntar City, which had been stopped by Earl Stark, was started again, and almost the entire Buntar City was turned into a huge construction site in half a year. Roads, buildings, and all sorts of new facilities are being built everywhere.

The overall renovation project of the city is extremely expensive, and more than 1.5 million gold coins have been invested in just half a year.

According to estimates, in the next two to three years, a minimum of 4 million gold coins will have to be continuously invested to complete the initial completion.

Due to the improvement of the finances of Bang Ta City, many of the welfare policies implemented for the residents of Bang Ta City have been implemented one after another, or they did not think about it at all, and they were later obtained through Xu Yiti yì.

Naturally, these welfare policies were extremely expensive, but Sevini unswervingly carried them out, so that although the annual tax revenue of Bonta City was extremely high, in fact, at the end of the year, after paying the corresponding taxes to the kingdom's treasury, the money that Bonta City could leave behind was only 1.2 million gold coins.

And now that the New Year is approaching, even if Sevigny is unwilling, some necessary social expenses will have to be spent.

At the beginning of next year, the money in Sevigny's hand will not even be 500,000 gold coins.

Thinking of this, Sevini smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

"It's really the trouble of having no money, and the trouble of having money after having money. ”

Scanning his gaze over the tax statement, Sevigny thought for a moment, closed it, turned to look out the window, and found that it was already noon, and it was still a rare good weather in winter, and the sun was extremely bright at this time, shining brightly outside.

After a moment's hesitation, Sevini got up and went to the lounge attached to the office to change into casual clothes and decided to go out for a walk.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the office, several of the Coordination Affairs Officers of the City Lord's Mansion outside were all stunned.

Seeing that Sevini was dressed in civilian clothes, several clerks looked at each other, but they all just smiled and did not say anything.

Her Royal Highness has been staying in the office these days, and she is indeed too tired to go out for a walk.

Severny smiled and nodded at them, took a scarf from his hand, wrapped his neck and the lower half of his face, and walked out through the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, you can already hear the noise outside, and as soon as you come to the street outside, it is even more crowded and lively.

At present, the resident population of Bang Ta City has exceeded a staggering 300,000, and with some floating populations that have not been counted, the number of people inside and outside the city has exceeded 400,000.

This figure is a very terrible number for the kingdom of Lampari, because even Anweimar, the most prosperous and populous capital in the kingdom, has a population of only about 200,000.

Of course, with such a large population, it must be because there is a matching prosperity here.

Now the streets and alleys of Bonta City are crowded with people, and as long as there are places along the streets, all of them have been transformed into all kinds of shops, and at a glance, there are all kinds of goods, which are almost dazzling.

Among these shops, there are many luxury goods that were previously considered untouchable by most residents of Bonta City, and can easily cost tens or even hundreds of gold coins a piece.

But these luxury goods, although they are expensive, are selling very well in Bangta City.

Because according to the statistics made by the City Lord's Mansion, the per capita annual income of the residents of Bangta City has even exceeded three hundred gold coins.

And the sum of several people in a family can even exceed 1,000 gold coins a year.

With such a good income as the foundation, a piece of tens or hundreds of gold coins, a luxury that could only be bought by those big nobles and big merchants to show off, has become a common item that many families in Bangta City can touch.

As soon as she looked down the street, she could see that many of the young girls on the street were no worse than the city of Anwemar.

Although many girls are limited by taste, and the clothes and accessories they wear are not very good in Sevigny's opinion, but this means that they already have considerable financial power.

As the lord of Bonta City, Sevini was naturally very pleased to see such a situation.

After a short stroll down the street, after walking through a street, Sevini stood under a sign that read "City Lord's Mansion Station" and waited patiently for the next bus, the Magic Locomotive, to arrive.

"Hey, Ronnie, you're waiting for the bus too?" a chubby, middle-aged man walked past Sevigny and greeted a thin man of about the same age standing on the right behind her.

The emaciated man smiled, "yes, I'm going to the Falling Rain Valley, what about you, Shaq?"

The middle-aged fat man known as Shaq smiled: "I don't go that far, just go to the hospital outside the city." ”

"What's wrong, you're sick?" asked Ronnie, a thin man, in surprise.

"Why, you see I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"

"And what are you going to do in the hospital?" Ronnie wondered.

"Don't you know? Some time ago, the "Bangta Daily" reported that the city lord's government wants to implement the medical security system for the residents of Bangta City, as long as they are registered residents of Bangta City, everyone only needs to pay five gold coins a year to enjoy this medical insurance. Yesterday's "Bonta Daily" said that this system has been officially implemented, and I have to go to a hospital outside the city to go through the procedures, so I don't have time to prepare to go. ”

"Health care system?" Ronnie frowned. "What is this thing for? Do you want us to pay for it?"

"What's the matter? You're still afraid of losing? Sue you, this thing is very good. As long as you pay in the hardware this year, you can enjoy the unexpected discount for the whole year next year. For example, if you have any disease, you went to the hospital and spent 10 gold coins, right, with this medical insurance, it can give you a 70% reduction, so you only need to spend 3 gold coins. How's it going? Isn't it a good deal?"

"Really?" said Ronnie, surprised and delighted. "What if I hadn't been sick for a year?"

"Of course it's useless if you're not sick, and you still want to give it back to you. ”

"White friends?" The joy on Ronnie's face faded, and he said with some distress: "Then if you don't get sick next year, won't you lose hardware coins in vain?"

"I said you're still worried about this?" Shaq pouted. "Isn't it just hardware coins, are you still lacking this little money now? If you pay it, you can enjoy such a high discount, if you don't pay it, if you really need it, then it's called a big loss." ”

"That's right......" Ronnie nodded. "Let me think about it...... By the way, there's a deadline for applying for this thing, right, when?"

"It's the end of the year, if you want to think about it, hurry up, don't be in time to catch up. Shaq admonished.

"Okay, I'll think about it. (To be continued......)
