The time soon came to June of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

With 100,000 workers working overtime, the construction progress of the Beijing Special Economic Zone has reached more than 90 percent, and it is close to completion.

Related supporting facilities, such as water reservoirs, coal-fired power plants, broadcasting centers, power centers, garbage treatment centers (including large-scale biogas stations, garbage combustion plants, waste gas treatment plants, etc.), greenhouse vegetable centers, industrial areas, large hospitals, schools, libraries, nursing homes, etc., have also been completed and equipment has been installed.

There are also 5,000 luxury detached villas, 100,000 silver dollars each, all sold out, and are expected to accommodate 50,000 people.

The 50,000 apartments, each with 10,000 silver dollars (120 square meters of living area), were also sold out, and it is expected to accommodate 300,000 people.

100,000 sets of small-area low-rent houses (each set is only 20 square meters), the price is 1,000 silver dollars per set (the rent is only about 5 silver dollars per month), simple decoration, public bathrooms, and very low construction costs, which can accommodate up to 200,000 people if two people live in one room.

Taken together, the Beijing Special Economic Zone, which covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, can accommodate up to 550,000 people, or even more.

In addition, there are also many jobs in various industries in the Beijing Special Economic Zone, and even teachers, doctors, scientific researchers, factory workers, police detectives, civil servants and other middle- and high-income people, the number of which is estimated to be as many as tens of thousands, if you count ordinary labor groups such as waiters, logistics workers, cooks, farmers, etc.

The total number of jobs is estimated to reach as many as 100,000, which is equivalent to about one-third of the residents, who can find suitable jobs in the special zone and realize the internal circulation of the economy.

Finally, all the special economic zones, which are also important financial centers, will have institutions such as Tianxia Tong Bank, which will provide all kinds of financial services to inject greater vitality into the economic development of the special economic zone, and plug in the wings of take-off.

Create the best business environment.

In time.

There will be more and more people doing business in the Special Economic Zone, and business activities will become more and more developed, bringing more GDP figures.

In addition, the resolute suppression of criminal phenomena, the extremely high requirements for the integrity of managers, the end of corruption is very miserable, and the implementation of a relatively high salary and honest system, to create a clear, just, sunny living environment, any extortion and extortion is not tolerated, and occasionally engage in severe crackdown on criminals, and even the implementation of misdemeanor and heavy punishment, three violations of the law and hard labor for life punishment measures, try to ask how harsh the environment, who else dares to take risks, challenge the majesty of the law?

So from the first of July.

The Beijing Special Economic Zone, where the capital construction was completed, was officially put into use, and 350,000 people lived in it, basically all of whom were wealthy and large families, or at least well-off families, who took out loans for 20 years and successfully realized their desire to go ashore and became a member of the Special Economic Zone.

And it's fast.

On July 3, the Beijing Special Economic Zone realized that every household has access to water, 350,000 people, and at the same time live a life of directly using tap water, no longer have to go to pick up water to draw water, and after the treatment of the water plant, the water quality is quite good, almost up to the standard of direct drinking water, with a trace of sweetness, of course, in the first few years directly drinking raw water is no problem, but after a long time, pipeline pollution and valve pollution are inevitable, or to boil the water, and then drink more suitable and healthy, but for those poor families, drink directly, drink habits, there is no big problem, at least it is much cleaner and more hygienic than drinking well water and water in the pond.

On July 8, in the Beijing Special Economic Zone, every household was electrified, and they lived a life of using electric lights, no longer had to buy any candles, or use dim oil lamps, the brightness of LED bulbs was very high, even if there were only five watts of the cheapest energy-saving lamp, it was at least equivalent to lighting a dozen candles, one kilowatt of electricity was enough to use two hundred hours, and the electricity bill was ten cents per kilowatt, equivalent to the price of a pound of rice, but only for light bulb lighting, it was very cheap and cost-effective, even for the poorest families, It can also be afforded, and with electricity and light bulb lighting, a lot of time at night can be used to study, used to do some manual work, the time to make money is significantly extended, students can learn more knowledge, and because of the existence of street lights, there are many small businesses outside at night, casually sell some food, clothing, and play, can have a good income, but also greatly enrich people's nightlife.

Of course, after the electricity is turned on, some wealthy families will also buy TVs to watch TV programs, or use rice cookers, induction cookers and other household appliances to cook, and when the weather is too hot, they will blow air conditioners, etc., and if the conditions are really average, they will also buy a cheap radio to listen to some wonderful radio programs, so that the slow long night has countless fun.

Water and electricity were connected one after another, and broadcasting centers were built.

The industrial zone is also recruiting a large number of workers and providing a large number of jobs.

In the residential area, there are also a large number of shops, restaurants, hostels, and grocery stores have opened, operating far more than 360 lines of business, so the inside of the Beijing Special Economic Zone is becoming more and more lively, more and more prosperous, more and more vigorous and energetic, and even the popularity in the capital is also a little inferior to this side, as if it was sucked away luck and fortune, and the inevitable obvious depression has gone down, but within the unique area, the scenery is unique, and it is getting better and better, which makes people envious and jealous, and sighs a lot.

In the Beijing Special Economic Zone, it is a luxury residential area.

No. 1 single-family villa, is a property owned by the royal family, Zhu Youzhen occasionally takes the queen's concubines and children, comes here to live for a few days, and feels the vibrant and vibrant atmosphere in the Special Economic Zone, but just like this, Zhu Youzhen actually has a feeling of addiction, indeed, the three-and-a-half-story villa, no matter how prosperous its internal decoration is, no matter how many rooms and bedrooms there are, it is impossible to compare with the Forbidden City after spending tens of millions of silver dollars to repair, but living and living, Zhu Youzhen actually slowly got used to living, and his mood relaxed a lot, Even the mentality that has always been anxious has changed a lot, and I can sleep well at night, those who are often worried about the problem, suddenly not so worried, sometimes there is also the idea that I will live in this villa for a lifetime, and there is no problem, as if suddenly the Buddha is lying flat, and suddenly I feel that the villa is a small piece of weather, he can fully afford it, within the scope of his ability, but the Ming Dynasty is too heavy, the pressure on him is too great, and his confidence has been destroyed again and again. Although the reforms have achieved results in recent years, they are not thorough, and in a few years, they may fail and fail, and they will not be able to get rid of the fate of getting worse and worse.

Only in this villa, he really has a feeling of being an ordinary person with a little money, maybe it is also a good feeling, every penny he earns, he spends it for himself and his family, he doesn't have to care about the life and death of so many people, he doesn't have to bear so many responsibilities and obligations, this kind of life is simply great.

It's just that he is an emperor, not a small businessman.

The Ming royal family is still the co-lord of the Ming Dynasty, still recognized by all forces, and still has the authority to command the world.

And in the eyes of the people of Daming, he has done a good job in the past few years, and the evaluation is okay, which adds a little confidence and confidence to him, so no matter how tired and difficult he feels, he still has to manage the world of Daming, no matter how much it costs, he can't say the word give up, even if this emperor is not very glamorous and domineering, he has to continue to work and continue to work hard.

But when it came to August, mid-August.

The Beijing Special Economic Zone was officially put into operation for a month.

The tax department has counted the tax income of the month and listed a detailed and accurate table.

Among them—

Property tax revenue (also called land tax): 580,000 silver dollars

Excise tax revenue: 2,380,000 silver dollars

Settlement tax income: 1.45 million silver dollars

Other income: $1,900,000

Total revenue: 6.31 million silver dollars

Seeing these figures, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but rub his eyes and felt incredulous.

6,310,000 silver dollars!

In just one month, so many silver dollars have been received, if multiplied by a year and twelve months, will it not reach more than 70 million silver dollars?

Divided by more than 300,000 people, it is equivalent to more than 20 silver dollars collected on each person's head.

W-That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

And the royal family can probably get a share of the net income, which is about 630,000 silver dollars, and in a year, maybe they can earn more than 5 million silver dollars.

Is this true?

Are the people of the Ming Dynasty so rich now? How terrifying is spending power? Or in other words, there are actually a lot of rich people in the Ming Dynasty, the so-called wealth is hidden in the people, there are really a large number of rich people in the people, they did not tap their consumption power before, but now there is a special zone, there is enough security, so this consumption power is released, so I saw such a good effect.

Even so, on average, each person can receive nearly twenty silver dollars per month, which still makes Zhu Youzhen have a kind of thinking, is it trying his best to fish, the people are being knocked out of the bones, maybe it won't be long before they can continue to go bankrupt, after all, this is really too exaggerated.

However, the person in charge of the tax department told him not to worry, this is a normal phenomenon, and it can continue in the future, although this tax and that tax seem to have increased a lot of burden on the people, but in the special zone, because there is no bully who bullies who bully the market, in the case of fair competition, the price is still relatively low, and the consumption tax of 5% is added, which does not have much impact, and is even lower than the price outside the special zone, which has the advantage of low prices, thus promoting the consumption of the people.

Because the public security environment is good, the expectations for the future are relatively stable, and there is no need to worry about such and such natural and man-made disasters, so the people no longer save excessive money and begin to be willing to spend to enjoy life.

】

What's more, most of the people in the Special Economic Zone are already wealthy, or at least they are high-income middle class, and spending 350 silver dollars a month is nothing at all, and they have that spending power at all.

Moreover, because the consumer industry is very prosperous, the more opportunities for people to make money, the income is generally not low, or in other words, it is easy to find a job and get a more ideal income, especially under the protection of the minimum wage system of the "Labor Law", no boss dares to exploit and exploit, even if it is a cleaner and dishwasher, he can earn more than 300 yuan a day, and it is not difficult to make money with food and housing.

Coupled with the abundance of nightlife and the convenience brought by electricity, people have a lot of time to do some pastime at night after the busy day, you can go to eat some supper, go to watch movies and television, or go to play games, etc., there is no need to worry about the activities of no consumption, no matter how much money there is in the pocket, after three or five consumption, there is almost no money, and the next day repeats this process, so this kind of people are also called 'living in the moment, having fun in time'.

After listening to the analysis of the person in charge.

Zhu Youzhen nodded and had to agree.

The royal family takes 10% of the tax revenue of millions of silver dollars every month, which means that the royal family can earn a profit of 3 million to 5 million silver dollars every year in the future.

After the completion of the construction of the special zone, the total sales of houses sold through the purchase of houses also reached as much as one billion silver dollars, although most of the people found it difficult to come up with the full amount, and only received more than 400 million silver dollars in cash in total, and the rest had to be repaid slowly by the people.

However, considering the total construction cost of the Special Economic Zone, which is more than 300 million silver dollars, less than 400 million, the down payment for the house alone will collect all the investment, and even make a small profit.

The construction cycle of the special zone, with the efforts of as many as 100,000 huge manpower, generally only takes about a year, but it can recover all the investment and start to make a profit.

So isn't it possible for the royal family's income to reach billions or even billions of silver dollars per year?

The speed of making money will not be weaker than that of the Guanning Military Consortium at all, and it can completely make the Royal Consortium rise to the level of ranking first!

And with money, you can better manage your territory, you can expand your army, you can do such and such things, you can expand the layout, and find a way to defeat or eliminate Xujiazhuang.

In short, as long as you have money and a lot of money, no matter what you do, it will be easy to do, no matter how difficult it is, you can do it, and you can see hope.

Ecstasy!

So Zhu Youzhen's face couldn't help but show an expression of ecstasy, and he said secretly excitedly: "Found it, I have finally found a way to get rich, as long as I build more special zones, absorb more wealthy people, concentrate a lot of wealth, and obtain a steady stream of taxes, this Ming will still be my final say after all, no matter what challenges and opponents, I will eventually lose under my hands, even if it is Xujiazhuang!" ”
