Chapter 401, what I have now is money
While Shang Yanwen was busy with the imperial tax, he did not forget that he had one thing he wanted to do.
That was when he was in Flying Wings, combined with what he had learned and his past experience, he designed some industries that could be developed for his hometown, as well as corresponding specific development strategies.
And this time he came back, he saw that his hometown had changed too much, and many of his previous ideas were not 'design', but closer to 'blind imagination', which was not at all in line with the current situation of the Green Bee neighborhood.
But he was not depressed, let alone in a hurry.
In the process of being busy for the imperial tax, he also became more familiar with the neighborhoods that had changed so much, and investigated a lot of actual situations.
He constantly overturned his plan, based on the current situation of the block, and made a new one in combination with reality.
At the same time, he did not relax his work.
When it came time to take stock of his taxes, he found that his worst fears did not materialize. The Green Bee District has a population of 420,000, and in the past year, the total output value of various materials in the Green Bee District was 390,000 tax coins. Most of it is consumed by the local population.
These value outputs, through money and exchange, become houses, become food, become furniture and appliances, become textiles, and become medical expenses...... In the neighborhood, the living standards of the people have been effectively improved.
The level of medical care is not high enough, there are not enough furniture and household appliances, the types of food are not rich enough, the textiles are not fashionable enough, and even the number of houses built by construction is actually not enough, and many people who should be divided are still queuing.
However, there is no doubt that it is much better than in the past.
And the part of the imperial tax, there is no need to worry.
In fact, the neighborhood government has been preparing for the imperial tax since the beginning of the year, and has set aside 40,000 tax coins. Its components are mainly some pre-processed raw materials, textiles and Union Currency cash.
Neighborhoods pay taxes to higher levels of government, which can be cashed in Union Coins. Correspondingly, the Union government will use these Union currencies to pay to some key industrial areas, such as military factories and heavy factories, whose output is the main force of tax payments in kind.
After all, when the Union government pays the Imperial Tax, the Imperial Tax Collector doesn't recognize you as an Alliance Currency. In the eyes of the empire, currency is just a piece of waste paper, and they only recognize the tax payment certificate, that is, tax currency, or physical goods.
There are many, many physical objects recognized by the Empire, but not everything. Just produce a kitchen knife, a table, or something, and the empire will ignore you. Not to mention, some service industries, such as commerce, construction, transportation, medical industry, etc., on the planet, they certainly create value on the planet, but there is nothing to pay taxes to the empire.
Therefore, in fact, the planetary government pays taxes, mainly relying on the production of heavy industry, military industry, textiles, and agriculture, which are 'hard currencies' recognized by the empire.
But the workers in these production areas also have to live. Their daily necessities, such as transportation, health care, services, food...... Supplies come from elsewhere. This resulted in a general division of labor: the regions that could produce the products of the Imperial Tax category purchased other services from other regions through the currency issued by the Union, and they themselves produced the vast majority of the products required by the Imperial Tax in that region. In non-production areas, the alliance currency is used to prove that it has contributed through affiliated industries.
This division of labor exists at all levels. Blocks to blocks, nests to nests, and even planets to planets.
The main pillar industries of the Green Bee District are construction, transportation, waste recycling and primary processing of raw materials. Except for the products processed from materials, which can be used as physical goods to pay imperial taxes, the others are actually not good.
But they still create value.
The real imperial tax, they don't have to worry, those big industrial production areas will come out, and the higher level government will plan it as a whole; They helped in transportation, and also exported construction teams to build houses in other industrial areas, and obtained Union coins, which is essentially the value of their labor, and is recognized by the Union government.
This is the essential logic of the local population of 410,000 in the Green Bee District, with a total output value of 390,000 tax coins, consumption of 350,000, and 40,000 yuan to pay taxes.
The per capita consumption of 0.85 tax coins in the Green Bee neighborhood is not a very good standard of living, but it is definitely worth living.
Shang Yanwen once read an old report that in the 100 years before the plague war, Korojia's per capita consumption was actually only 0.3 tax coins. It's a level that barely starves to death; Koroga's per capita output is only about 0.5 tax coins, which is only half of the empire's minimum per capita standard.
This is also the essence of the fact that the people of Koroga have to pay 0.05 tax coins per capita as the imperial tax, and then they are taken away by the adult tax with a probability of 1%.
As for the difference between the 0.15 per capita tax currency in the middle, where did it go...... Then you have to ask the former bureaucrats and rulers of Koroga.
Now, the per capita consumption level has more than doubled to 0.85, so it is no wonder that life has become passable.
Moreover, this is the consumption level after the 0.1 imperial tax is withdrawn, which means that the Green Bee Block will no longer need to pay the human tax in the future.
Of course, this is just the result of Shang Yanwen's observation of his Green Bee neighborhood.
But for now, the entire Promise City is about this level. Even in the middle and upper areas of the nest, the situation is much better than that of the lower nest area; The situation in the bottom area may be a little worse, but it should be pretty much the same overall.
From the perspective of Promise City, all the nests in the entire Koroga are at this level, then it can be said that the entire Koroga is on the right track. Koroga no longer needs to pay the human tax, and can complete the imperial tax on her own production, and is no longer a burden on the Union.
At the current rate of development, in two years, there may be a surplus; In a few years, the surplus will increase, the standard of living of the people of Koroga will get better and better, and it will become a major engine for the development of the alliance - the size of the population is here.
Thinking about these things really made Shang Yanwen very excited.
He is excited to be a part of this great change of the times.
And the set of development plans he made in his spare time will also add another engine to the Green Bee Block on this basis.
After the hectic rush of imperial taxes came to an end, he approached his immediate boss, Moody, the head of the neighborhood government, and offered his idea.
What he wants to do is a recirculating farming system.
In the Green Bee neighborhood, there used to be a small flying creature that resembled a bat, with tough fleshy wings and sturdy teeth. The main materials needed for its survival are three things: human domestic waste, wastewater discharged from industrial production, and a luminescent spore fungus produced in a highly polluted environment.
Locals call this thing the 'Fluorescent Sick Bat', and in the past it was a pest in the Lower Nesting and Bottom Nest areas of Promise City, which would bring disease, pollution, and radiation to the population, causing illness and even death.
The neighborhood has also spent effort to manage it, and this kind of thing still exists, but there are not so many of them.
But Shang Yanwen saw the value of this little monster.
One of his classmates had a research project on biomaterials at an engineering school on Flying Wings. Shang Yanwen felt that this kind of little monster in his hometown, eating strongly polluted fungi, eating organic waste, drinking waste water, and tempered teeth, as well as that skin that was quite resistant to manufacturing, were good materials.
Before, he managed to get some of the 'specialties' of the nest area under the promise city, and analyzed it to the research team, saying that it does have a certain value.
As long as it can be produced on a large scale, the collected monster wings and teeth can be used as a good biomaterial material, which can be used for some leather materials needed for machine building, armor lining, and anti-corrosion biomaterials in some places.
Relevant technical materials, he sorted out a copy and brought it back.
What he wants to do is to dedicate a part of the area to the breeding of polluting bacteria, and then breed this mutated monster under strong pollution, and then concentrate on slaughtering, collect biological materials, and sell them to some processing plants.
This is preliminary engineering. In the future, the best related processing industry can be undertaken by the Green Bee Block and establish related factories; Even on this basis, develop a more comprehensive industrial chain.
If the whole set can be done, there is no doubt that the Green Bee District will get a new industry. This means higher output, more jobs, and easier progress for the residents of the Green Bee neighborhood. After having money, the people's living standards will be further improved, and they will be able to pay more taxes directly and make greater contributions to the alliance.
After listening to Shang Yanwen's plan, Moody patted his thigh and said, "He is worthy of being a top student!" You've already helped a lot with taxes before, let alone come up with a surprise now! ”
"Do you think this is feasible?" Shang Yanwen is not as confident as when he was talking about it just now.
In essence, he is still a fledgling newcomer with little experience in governance. He was very afraid that what he had carefully made was actually his own whimsy. Although he had done everything he could to avoid this, and had done a lot of research, and there were many concrete implementation steps that had been carefully crafted, he was still a little uneasy.
He was afraid of pranking his hometown.
But Moody's seemed much more relieved: "Don't think about this or that, we just have to have this kind of spirit, as long as the whole thing looks good, just do it!" What if you fail? The higher-ups will not punish us for one failed attempt, and the alliance has always encouraged this kind of innovative behavior! ”
"However, we do need to be cautious. If the investment is too large, it will still have an impact. ”
"Let's start with small-scale farming and work slowly!"
"As long as we can do it, we have solved a big problem! To be honest, there is still a lot of labor in the neighborhood that has not been absorbed. This is the core indicator of our regional government, I have already lost my head, your method sounds good, I must try it! ”
"Even if you can only accommodate a few dozen, a few hundred people at the beginning, that's good. Don't underestimate the hundreds of jobs. With a few hundred jobs of steady output, you can afford a new mall, more construction workers, more hawkers...... Ancillary industries will be able to develop along with them. ”
"Not to mention, there will be opportunities to become bigger and stronger in the future!"
Shang Yanwen, who was encouraged, said: "Then do it!" I'm going to apply for an interstellar communication opportunity right away and get in touch with my classmates. Their research group will be interested in us! ”
……
Shang Yanwen's deeds were condensed into a short report, which was placed in front of Gu Hang's desk along with the deeds of several other young civil servants and new managers of state-owned enterprises who also had good performance.
At this moment, Gu Hang was on the starship, heading towards Koroga. During the voyage, he read these documents and gave an evaluation:
"Our young people are doing a really good job."
He was pleased.
The industry created by Shang Yanwen is quite prosperous, and after a few months, it has a good output value, which has a driving effect on the local neighborhood, and it also has the value of promoting the bottom nest and lower nest of the entire Promise City Nest Capital.
Although, even if this industry develops in the future, the output value is a small thing on the whole. Its application range is still a bit narrow, grinding teeth, peeled and treated bat wings, after processing into a basic material, can only play a certain role in the structure of some industrial parts, and the metal smelting industry is not a concept of volume scale. In the past, the alliance also applied this material, but it basically relied on imports.
However, the innovation ability under the alliance system embodied behind this incident, as well as the emergence of this new generation of administrators, are things that make Gu Hang even happier.
A circular breeding and processing industry is nothing, and if there are a few more, or even a piece of connection, and a number of industrial chains have been built, it may have high value. Moreover, as long as it is proved that the alliance system is capable of innovation and that the new generation of officials of the alliance is reliable, then it is no problem to say that the future is promising, whether it is to develop new industries or maintain old industries.
Putting this matter aside, Gu Hang looked at the other electronic board in his hand.
This is a more important thing.
The tax situation faced by the Union.
At present, the Imperial Tax is collected in one go by treating the Union as a whole. For the Empire's tax fleet, this is a hassle-free.
At present, the total annual tax amount of the alliance is 10.95 billion tax coins. 4 billion for Flying Wings, 3 billion for Fasters Samsung, 3.5 billion for Koroga 1 and 3 combined, 100 million for Raging Owl, 150 million for Black Arrows, and 200 million for Red Arrows.
At the time of the tax, there were 1 billion people on Raging Owl and 1.5 billion on Black Arrow, and the extra population had migrated from Koroga. As a result, the population of Koroga has dropped from more than 37 billion to about 35 billion, and it is set at 3.5 billion tax coins.
Subtracting the 4 billion tax exemption and paying taxes every two years, the Union has had to pay 13.9 billion in imperial taxes in the two tax seasons of the past four years.
This is a huge number that Gu Hang, who was not developed several years ago, could not even think of it, but for the current alliance, it is not difficult.
Especially in this recent tax season, Flying Wing Star completed a musician-class cruiser, plus four destroyers, which is more than 10 billion.
If the imperial tax is set aside every year, the financial balance of the alliance can still be more than five billion.
In a recent phone call with his mother, Gu Hang once said quite flamboyantly:
"What I have now is money."
