Chapter 24, On the Inazuma Castle That Never Sleeps

Three years later, as the last street of Inazuma Castle was also equipped with street lights, Raiden Shogun announced that Inazuma Castle had entered the era of the city that never sleeps, and Inazuma Castle completely lifted its curfew.

It was also announced that lighting facilities will be installed on the outlying islands and several other important towns in the future.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry has also begun to bring all kinds of lamps and lanterns that have been prepared for a long time into the private market.

Alchemists, apprentices, workers, and samurai were drawn from various machine factories to form the lamp factory.

The lamp factory produced three types of lamps, standard headlights: generally used in ports, ships, etc., and there were also several in the shogunate, which were used to replace the lights that were previously used for night patrols.

Standard furniture lamps/street lamps: generally used for street lighting and indoor lighting, and this kind of lamps and lanterns are everywhere in the shogunate.

Custom lamps: Custom lamps that are generally used in special locations, such as the Shadow Fox lamps that are characteristic of the Narukami Shrine, and the Thunder no Mieba lamps at the shogunate gate.

"After Inazuma Castle opened at night, the entire Inazuma Castle suddenly became much more prosperous, and the business tax has been rising steadily in recent years." The general, who was shrouded in spells, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the bustling night market.

"After all, everyone works during the day, so they only have free time at night, and there are many people who practice martial arts in Inazuma, most of them are energetic, and now it is very good to have a channel to vent."

"The running water of this food street, you can smoke 10% of it every day." The general said with a smirk.

"I'm all legally taxed, and I'm the most of them, and I don't have that much." Blade Lian Ling Yi Zhen Zhen said: "The extra fire extinguishing team on this street, as well as the unity of the Heavenly Leader, I have additional sponsorship. ”

"Even those dynamic groups that maintain order are what I pay to raise."

"That's in the past." The general smiled and did not take this to heart.

"What's more, the most profitable thing is actually the shogunate, so much land, how much rent is every month." Blade Lian Ling Yi said.

Although he collects money, he also contributes money and efforts, and the shogunate, where the shogun is located, directly nationalizes the land.

If the general hadn't given Ling Yi the wind in advance, maybe he would have had to leave the scene gloomily with the compensation.

The aristocrats who bought land in this area at that time are now at a loss as leggings.

After all, no one expected the general to come to this hand, and it can only be said that the general has become more and more aware of the operation of capital.

However, the shogun, like Bladeren Lingyi, has been trying his best to break the solidification between the various classes of Inazuma.

When the two were discussing, Blade Lian Lingyi once proposed the matter of unified education.

But he was rejected by the general.

Because the shogunate simply did not have the financial and material resources to support the unified education plan mentioned by Blade Ren Lingyi.

The elite education proposed by the general was also rejected by Jian Lian Lingyi, because elite education would only increase the solidification of the class.

However, the general was obviously more thoughtful than Blade Lian Lingyi.

Because the elite education that the shogun spoke of was not aimed at the aristocratic and samurai classes, but directly at the entire civilian class.

She made full use of the function of big data screening to screen out the entire Inazuma talent with SSR potential, and then let those people join the shogunate through testing and grinding.

Then, through quiet training and just the right resources, these people can become the talents that generals need, and play the role of catfish in related fields.

It can also motivate people in related fields to work together.

After calculating, Lingyi found that the cost of doing so was actually very low, and the most expensive was the big data calculation of [Resurrection], but the energy of [Resurrection] came from the leylines, and the maintenance of [Resurrection] was generally maintained by [Resurrection] itself.

The cost is very expensive for others, and it is about the same as nothing for generals who have high-level authority of [Resurrection].

The rest of the resources are also very abstract, and the general doesn't even have to do it, let alone spend it.

It's much better than the original plan of Blade Blade Lingyi.

But this is also problematic, one or two such people are okay to say, if there are people in all walks of life, then sooner or later there will be aristocrats who will notice that something is wrong.

Then the whole plan would be targeted by the aristocratic faction within Inazuma.

After all, although the total amount of Inazuma is improving, there are so many resources in a short period of time, and the people below come up to divide it, so the original aristocratic faction will naturally be divided.

This is how the contradiction between the aristocratic faction and the commoner faction in the Inazuma shogunate came about.

"Let's skip that topic." The general said.

The rent from the shogunate's land and the commercial tax together accounted for more than 30% of the entire food street.

The most important thing is that these are not taxable, the food street is an area that never sleeps built earlier, before the development of the street here was originally a very ordinary civilian area, and later the land was requisitioned to build a food street, which has been open for more than two years, and has been prosperous for more than two years, just in these two years, the income of this food street alone has made the shogunate's treasury not know how many times.

In fact, those traders here seem to make a lot of money every day, but in fact, they still don't make much.

Due to the food price reference, they also need at least 20 moras for the cost of raw materials for every 100 mola of gross profit they make, a maximum of 15 mola for processing, and 5 mola for cleaning and order maintenance for the active groups (they are really cleaning and maintaining order).

Then there is the rent of the shop for 30 mora, of which 5 mola needs to be given to the fire extinguishing team to prevent fires and the samurai of the Tenryo to maintain the safety of the market.

In the end, 11 moras were paid in taxes, and the remaining 14 moras were their true profits.

11 Mora's taxes, 1 Mora is for the shrine maiden, and it is not okay if you don't give it, because the maintenance of the barrier of the food street is the responsibility of the shrine maiden of the Narukami Taisha Shrine, and it is well known that without the shrine maiden's barrier, there will always be evil spirits and monsters.

Actually, this is a lie, and this may be the case in other places, but how could there be monsters in Inazuma City.

However, it is true that there is an enchantment, and this enchantment is still a composite enchantment, and the main role of peacetime is to cooperate with the fire extinguishing team to prevent fire.

There are also auxiliary functions that make people happy, make people healthier, and expel evil spirits.

Well~ This is also the reason why the food world is so lively, because in addition to the food, it will really make people feel happy.

Even if you're not hungry, a drink at a tavern here is a great choice.

It is said that a certain Xuanhu spent his net worth here several times, and finally had to rely on joining Yae Miko's Yaedo, and wrote that he had the money to continue to come here in style.
