The treasury of the City Lord's Mansion is managed by the General Manager Bai Han, who has nothing to do with Luo Hao. However, Luo Hao and Bai Han are both remnants of the Thunder Territory. The two originally had a very good relationship. The construction of this training tower is extremely expensive. Bai Han and Luo Hao chatted.
It is impossible not to say it.
The city treasure house in Hongmeng City is almost empty of black crystal stones, and there are not many other miscellaneous resources.
Under the current circumstances, the city lord wants to speed up the expansion of the city, and Luo Hao is worried that it will bring down the city's operation.
"It doesn't matter!" Jing Yan said.
He said to Niu Bo and other array masters: "Director Niu Bo, you will go to the city lord's mansion later and receive 100 million black crystal stones. This amount of black crystal stones will be distributed according to the contributions of everyone in your team. This is a reward.
In ten days, you will be busy again. Now, you go to rest first."
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Niu Bo and other formation mages all expressed their thanks loudly and happily.
They, the formation masters, are all paid. The salary they receive is naturally different according to each person's formation ability, but they are all considered high salaries. During the fifty years of functional construction of the training tower, Jing Yan has given them a lot.
This reward, if you include this time, should be the fifth reward, which is once every ten years on average. The first four times were 30 to 50 million black crystal stones, and this last one is a full 100 million black crystal stones.
This reward is really quite a lot, after all, it has only been a few decades. Each of them has received a large amount of black crystal stones.
Of course, they are formation masters, and their treatment should be better than that of ordinary ascetics. Like the city guards of Hongmeng City, they cannot earn that much black crystal. Ordinary guards of the Immortal Yun Realm only have a salary of one hundred thousand to one hundred thousand a year.
Two hundred thousand black crystal stones. In ordinary underworld realm, the salary is much lower.
"Luo Hao, you will be familiar with the training tower recently and then recruit some staff."
"As for when the training tower will be officially opened, I'll let you know." Jing Yan said to Luo Hao.
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Luo Hao accepted the order.
Jing Yan returned to the city lord's mansion and called the chief manager Bai Han over.
"Lord City Lord, are you looking for me?" Chief Manager Bai Han asked.
In the past few decades of building the training tower in the city, Bai Han has been extremely busy. The cost of the training tower is too much, and City Lord Jingyan asked him to mobilize resources to prioritize the construction of the training tower. He tried every means to mobilize resources.
Now, it's finally over.
"General Manager, how many black crystal stones are there in our treasure house?" Jing Yan asked directly.
"Black crystal stone? Lord City Lord, our treasure house is almost empty. We can't even get 10 billion of the black crystal stone in stock." Bai Han had a bitter expression on his face.
"Not even 10 billion?" Jing Yan also frowned.
Although Luo Hao had previously heard that the city's treasure house was almost empty, he never expected that the treasure house would be so empty.
You know, the daily sales of Hongmeng Alchemy Tower alone are close to 10 billion. Because the number of monks in Hongmeng City continues to increase, the sales of this elixir are also constantly increasing. And the profits of Hongmeng Alchemy Tower are very high, even if
Even after excluding various expenses, there is still about 40% profit. Of course, Jing Yan can take half of the credit for this profit, because he personally refined the middle-grade and high-grade elixirs of Hongmeng Danlou.
The profit from the elixir is very scary, almost 70% to 80%.
"Lord City Lord, the construction of the cultivation tower cost us more than 13 trillion black crystal stones!" Bai Han's voice rose.
Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.
In fact, the most valuable items in the cultivation tower were all brought out by Jing Yan. If these items, such as fire cloud crystals and Huangquan crystals, were purchased, the cost of this cultivation tower would be at least hundreds of thousands of black crystals.
There are even more stones. Resources like fire cloud crystals are easy to say, but resources similar to Huangquan crystals are not available even if you want to buy them.
"In ten days, Hongmeng City will be expanded."
"The current Hongmeng City can only accommodate more than 10 million people. This expansion will build a city that can accommodate 100 million people." Jing Yan waved his hand.
Bai Han was dumbfounded when he heard Jing Yan's words.
Expansion in ten days?
Do we need to expand the city to accommodate 100 million people?
My Lord City Lord, what are you thinking about? There are not even 10 billion black crystal stones in the treasure house.
Even if the Hongmeng Dan Tower can use the profits of 4 to 5 billion black crystal stones every day, it will only be 40 to 50 billion in ten days! Furthermore, the profits of the Hongmeng Dan Tower cannot be saved, and they must be saved in other places.
Consumption.
"Lord City Lord, we...what should we use to expand the city?" Bai Han asked in a low voice.
He didn't dare to confront Jing Yan directly.
"Collect business tax!" Jing Yan's voice condensed.
"Collect taxes?" Bai Han opened his mouth.
So far, Hongmeng City has not levied taxes on shops in the city. In Hongmeng City now, official industries only account for a small part. Most of the shops, etc., are owned by outside business elites, and some are owned by
Controlled by small forces.
For these shop industries, Hongmeng City's policy has always been tax-free. Jing Yan's original intention was to use this to attract more people to do business in Hongmeng City.
"That's right! Of course our Hongmeng City cannot be tax-free forever. Is there any city in the universe that does not charge taxes on business for a long time?" Jing Yan nodded.
"But isn't the time to collect taxes premature?" Bai Han looked worried about this.
The situation in Hongmeng City is very bad, there are too many enemies outside.
In addition, Hongmeng City is not even included in the Tianyin city list. If taxes are collected now, I am afraid it will cause some backlash.
Those businessmen all put profits first. If Hongmeng City taxes them, how can they be willing to pay it? They may secretly form alliances to fight against each other, or even sell their assets and leave Hongmeng City. If the control is not good, the problem can be serious.
That's big.
Once too many people sell off their property, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in Hongmeng City's industry. The chain reaction will cause immeasurable losses to the city.
"The time has come! Haha, there are some people who are earning resources in Hongmeng City, enjoying the tax-free policy, and secretly cursing Hongmeng City. It's time for them to make some contributions to Hongmeng City. Chief Manager, that's it.
But...of course we have to give them some time to prepare. Well, just one month, a one-month buffer time."
"General manager, this month, you are going to organize the tax department. Let Xu be the tax director." Jing Yan said slowly.
"What if those businessmen unite and threaten to withdraw from the city?" Bai Han asked.
"If they leave, we won't stay." Jing Yan said simply: "However, if they leave this time, they will never come back again. If anyone really leaves Hongmeng City, remember them and list them as Hongmeng City
