In the city lord's office hall, Chu Tian sat cross-legged on a white jade throne inlaid with precious stones, holding a cup of tea that his assistant had just brewed in his hand. It uses the finest elf green tea from the elves.
Lived very comfortably.
In front of Chu Tian was a smooth mirror one person tall, in which the image changed from blurred to clear, and finally formed the image of a girl. Although she was not tall, she was still slim, her skin was as white and tender as snow, and her figure was exquisite. She should be big and thin. Thin, as long as it should be, as round as it should be, full of youthful vitality, in short, there are no shortcomings.
She moved her face closer for a closer look.
This allowed Chu Tian to observe her cheeks at a close distance, which were as smooth as porcelain, her big eyes were like clear crystals, her nose was delicate and straight, Yin Tao's small mouth was red, and her black hair hung over her shoulders. It looks cute and beautiful.
Chu Tian shook his robe triumphantly: "How about it, I didn't lie to you, you don't have to pay a visit to Lord City Lord!"
"Wow!" Meng Yingying's eyes glowed, and her mouth spewed out a series of questions like a cannonball, "Is this your office? It looks so luxurious. What's outside the window behind, is it a garden? Why does it look like it's in the clouds? You Really succeeded in becoming the city lord? How come so fast!"
"Come and see for yourself, don't you know?" Chu Tian waved his hands as if such a trivial matter was not worth mentioning to him: "How is the situation in Oldman Town?"
"My sister has unified the surrounding natives, and now plans to build a city integrating commerce and industry. The initial plan is to accommodate two million people, so that the Miracle Chamber of Commerce will have a large amount of labor available. The new crystal oil mine has been successfully mined, and the scale is larger than imagined. The medium is much bigger, so the new generation of Yuanli weapons can also be researched. Vivienne has developed the fourth space warehouse, and the flower essence has also created a stable spiritual space. Our cultivation has greatly improved ,besides… "
Hmm, not bad.
Everyone is not lazy.
"Since everything is developing smoothly, come here as soon as possible. I am short of manpower, and I need the assistance of you and the eldest lady."
"good!"
Meng Yingying showed joy, she had already thought about it.
"Yingying, are you communicating with Chutian? Why did I hear his voice?" At this time, a very magnetic and beautiful female voice sounded beside him, and then a tall and beautiful woman with a very hot figure appeared in the mirror. Who is not Missy
Chu Tian immediately greeted the eldest lady.
Meng Qingwu was also very surprised to see Chutian sitting on the throne of the city lord, she didn't expect Chutian to progress so fast. Chu Tian had nothing to hide from the eldest lady, so he gave an overview of what happened and the current situation.
"In this way, your position is still not secure. We need a large amount of start-up funds to promote the development of Greenland City. Fortunately, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce's revenue has continued to expand in recent months, and now it has a large reserve of funds." Meng Qing Wu said without hesitation: "If you don't count the value of other resources, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce reserves a total of 25,000 Yuanshi. Now that the Chamber of Commerce has a large stall, we need to keep 5,000 low-grade Yuanshi for turnover. I will deposit the remaining 20,000 yuan into The chamber of commerce is an internal dedicated space warehouse, and if you need money there, you can embezzle it at any time. I will cash out the resources as soon as possible and exchange for more primordial stones for development."
Is the Miracle Chamber of Commerce already this rich
This number is far beyond Chutian’s estimation. This is only a pure reserve of primordial stones. If the resource materials hoarded by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce are replaced with equivalent primordial stones, at least one digit must be added. Chutian understands I am confident here immediately.
With the virtuous helper of the young lady, Chu Tian has no worries at all.
There were crisp footsteps in the hall, and it was Dolores who had returned.
"Okay, let's stop chatting today, the city's main force has started to work hard." Chu Tian told the eldest lady and Yingying, and then closed the communication and video transmission.
He looked up.
boom!
All kinds of scrolls, accounts, and notes were piled up in front of him like a hill. There were hundreds of volumes, which directly stunned Chu Tian.
What is this mess
"My dear Lord Santo, why are you so stunned?" The beautiful Santo's assistant Dolores flashed a narrow smile in her eyes: "This is only a small part, and the three archives next door are full, all of which are Santo's files. Goal information is required."
"Are you mistaken! How come there are so many?"
"Think about it, tax bills from various places, caravan registration information, city personnel situation, urban development situation, surrounding forest dynamic data, forest forces and diplomatic situation, research institute research situation, people's livelihood and civil affairs data, urban planning and construction draft, water conservancy project , planting and breeding, public security and military defense...all the information is here, you think the city lord is giving orders."
"Okay, okay, wait for the eldest lady to show her." Chu Tian wiped his sweat, he didn't expect to be such a troublesome city lord, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water on him, "I need to know something now What?"
How can you be such a city lord
Dolores secretly slandered, but she still replied: "The situation in Greenland City is not optimistic. The half-elf's fiscal deficit rate is already very high. I just took a look at the recent annual financial expenditure, which actually reached 165% of the income. The half-elf itself It is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the tax revenue in the past ten years is less than 50% compared with the previous decade, and the downward trend is very serious. Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"The Eternal Forest and Greenland City have an agreement. After the half-elves dedicate the city to the Eternal Forest, the wealth and resources accumulated by the half-elves over the years will still belong to the half-elves. The Eternal Forest will continue to bear the same expenditure and consumption as before by the half-elves. In other words In other words, from the moment you became the city lord, you automatically started to take over the half-elf's losses and debts, and a simple calculation of the current gap between income and expenditure, you conservatively estimate that you need to make up about 26,500 low-grade primeval stones every month."
Foxes are very sensitive to money.
This is fully reflected in Dolores, who has made her financial situation clear in such a short period of time.
puff!
Chu Tian took a sip of tea and almost sprayed her on her body: "Tens of thousands of primordial stones are stuck upside down every month. How could the Eternal Forest accept such a leaky pot? Just kidding!"
"It depends on who owns it. Although the elves are not very rich, they can still afford this loss. Moreover, if the elves have a strong presence in Greenland City, their popularity will soon recover and turn losses into profits. It’s also a matter of course, and there is no need to do anything at all, so for the elves, this is a business that is sure to make money.” Dolores glanced at Chu Tian when she said this, “As for it in your hands...don’t blame me Hit you, once you announced your appointment, half of the caravans in Greenland City are ready to run away, and the other half are already on the way. This month's tax revenue will be greatly reduced, and even the financial revenue will basically be paralyzed. I think you are praying for yourself Good luck."
Every month, the loopholes of tens of thousands of primordial stones are filled.
Not a small sum for anyone, is it
Chutian's Miracle Merchant Guild is indeed rich, but it has been established for too short a time, and its background is not as good as these forest clans. Now it is really too much to take such a plate rashly.
"Where are these primordial stones spent? Can it be reduced?"
Dolores quickly looked through the financial details, "These expenses are mainly the purchase of materials and materials, the use of Greenland City's military defense, the consumption of planting farms, and the living benefits of half-elves. These account for almost half."
"What about the other half?"
"Of course it is researched and developed!" Dolores rolled her eyes, "It's not like you don't know that half-elves are the race with the strongest thirst for knowledge and exploration, and the research level of half-elves ranks first in the entire chaotic forest. The materials and resources that various experiments and researches need to consume are a huge number.”
If Chutian takes over Greenland City.
Of course, there are ways to greatly reduce the consumption of ordinary resources and materials and the military budget, but these are small ends after all, accounting for less than a quarter of them. The most important expenditures are half-elf living welfare and half-elf research work, which are the basic conditions proposed by half-elves to take refuge in the eternal forest.
The Elf King also agreed to guarantee it.
Since he was appointed as the permanent city lord of Greenland City, Chutian and the Miracle Chamber of Commerce naturally had the obligation to bear it.
Chu Tian never imagined that, after finally taking the position of acting city lord, he didn't get any benefits. Instead, he had to support hundreds of thousands of half-elves. The huge pressure was enough to give him a headache.
Clark is trying to let me get out of trouble!
However, these half-elves underestimated me too much!
Chu Tian thought for a while and said, "You can issue my first order now. During the term of the city lord, the whole city will be exempted from transaction tax and business tax."
"You're crazy!" Dolores' eyes widened. "It's tantamount to cutting off an arm. The budget deficit is already serious enough. Don't you think the hole is not big enough?"
"As you said just now, half of the business travelers are ready to run away, and the other half are already on their way. What's the use of me still clinging to these taxes? I'll keep the people first, and then there will be ways to make money from them. As for financial holes Well, I can reduce it as much as possible, and I will make up for the rest." Chu Tian said with disdain, "Isn't it just ten thousand primeval stones? I can't afford it!"
"You..." Dolores knew that Chutian's background was not simple, but seeing that Chutian was so arrogant that he didn't even pay attention to such a huge sum of money, she couldn't help but think highly of Chutian again. : "Okay, as long as you think there is no problem."
No matter what commotion Chutian caused in Greenland City or even the Chaos Forest, the first order was issued just like that.
"I'm very interested in the half-elf research room, let's go and have a look."
Chutian's second thing is to learn about the situation of the half-elves. After all, the half-elves are rare high-level intellectuals in the forest, which fits well with the Miracle Chamber of Commerce.
Greenland City has been built for five hundred years.
The half-elf laboratory has also been built for five hundred years.
This is by no means comparable to the environment of Nanxia Kingdom. Chu Tian wants to go in and see for himself if there is anything unusual about it.
