Chapter 257 Financial Crisis
The mountain inner city was destroyed, and there was no need to rebuild it. The mountain city country was originally a small and narrow territory. Four cities were too many for this territory, so it was just right, three cities.

According to the previous reform, I will remove most of the counties and synthesize several large counties.During the day, farmers rely on technology to easily complete farm work, and at night they can enjoy life in the county. Wealthy farmers can even hire outsiders to work for them, so that they do not need to manage farm work at all. This is what has been emphasized in the reform policy, just to Let people in all counties accept reforms and look forward to a better life in the future.

Facts have proved that the process of reform is very difficult. Many counties such as Chuan County and Zhi County have been inherited for thousands of years. They dare not be unwilling to remove the county from history and become a unified county.

However, their strength is too small. Izawagi used soft persuasion methods and tough methods at the same time. First, he used free living and free work to attract civilians from all counties in his mountain country to the city of balance, resulting in the loss of more than half of the population of other counties. Incentive policy, counties that agree to reform and establish county seats will receive more incentives. For example, the first county to agree, all county residents will receive permanent free housing and tax exemption for three years; the second county to agree will receive 70 years of free housing Housing, tax exemption for two years.

Knowing the reason, Yixian County agreed to become a city, and the name was removed. What do other counties disagree with? In order to commemorate the names of these counties, the street names and house names of the county town can be used as county names to commemorate .

After a series of measures, Yi Zemu successfully disintegrated the psychological defense lines of the forty counties of Yamashiro Kingdom, and established eight counties in total, and every five counties were integrated into one county. The farmland of the five counties automatically became the land of the county and was allocated to the county farmers.Due to the beginning of the reform, in the first year, all incomes belong to the peasants. From the second year, the county pays [-]% of the tax, of which [-]% is used as the fiscal revenue of the directly subordinate cities, and [-]% is directly owned by the city of equilibrium, which is used to assist in the construction of Public facilities in Alliance Cities as well as technical research, assistance, and more!

After the Battle of Yamauchi Castle, the Yamashiro Kingdom was removed from the history of the Great War Kingdom. This sensational event made the Great War Kingdom even worse.The daimyo of the Warring States, Fujimotokichi, even issued the Warring States Order to the other eight countries, and any country that can capture the city of balance will permanently obtain the territory of the balance alliance.

With the order of the Warring States Period, the conditions promised by daimyo Fujimoto Kichi will be legal and valid. This is full of temptation for the other eight countries. Countless people are staring at the chaotic zone, the most remote and barren area. After all, this territory is so poor that no country is willing to send troops to occupy it.

However, a rumor has changed the thinking of all countries, even the resource-rich countries in the middle of the country are full of covetous hearts.That is, the first line of the Tianshan Mountains in the city of balance is a crystal mine, a crystal vein that has just been awakened.Although it is a rumor, but people believe it firmly, otherwise, where did the Balance Alliance get such a huge amount of money to build the city of Balance and rebuild the city outside the mountain!
All of a sudden, countless people began to move around, trying to attack this newly emerging force - the Balanced Alliance!
……

……

After the battle of destroying the country in Yamashiro Kingdom, I took a full week of rest before fully recovering.Kenan's injury was not as serious as mine, and he recovered after three days of rest, and then rushed back to Yuduoguo with the remaining 3 martial arts regiment day and night.

When I woke up, Brent told me: "Master Kennan asked me to tell the young marshal that he will come back, and let the young marshal wait for him!"

I nodded and sighed: "I know the brother will come back, but this is very painful for him!"

For me, senior brother Kenan lost tens of thousands of elite members of Uduo Country's First Martial Artist Regiment, but gave me the fruits of victory, and then returned to Uduo Country like this. How painful and guilty must it be to face Uduo Country.

I can't imagine that in Kenan's mind, I will always be the little junior who needs to be taken care of. For this little junior, maybe this is the most selfish time in his life. The stalwart hero claimed that Kenan had this innate sense of responsibility, allowing him to give an explanation for what he had to do, so he left.

"Call Memoku!" I said to Brent.

Brent replied: "Miaomu Zhuang has been out for more than a month!"

I remembered that Miaomuzhuang went out to introduce big brands.

"Then call the Minister of Finance!" I remembered that Miaomuzhuang had already handed over all the financial work.

Not long after Brent went out, a very young young man hurried over: "City Master, you called me?"

I looked at this young man carefully. He is Zhihui with a full score in the assessment. I remember this name. I asked with a smile: "Zhihui, I believe that Miaomuzhuang has already handed over all financial affairs to you, so tell me Me, how much money is left in the City of Equilibrium now?"

Zhihui obviously remembered it in his heart, without hesitation: "The city lord, Mr. Miaomu Zhuang gave me a total of 50 purple rune coins, and [-] red rune coins were used to buy agricultural machines and transform Iyo City. The Ministry of Science and Technology applied for [-] Ten thousand red rune coins, a total of [-] red rune coins were paid last month..."

"Stop!" I said impatiently, "I'm not here to test your ability, I just want to know how much money is left!"

Zhihui replied: "36 red rune coins, the owner of the city, but the reform of the county seat, Mr. Miaomuzhuang has applied for a sum of [-] purple rune coins for the reform of the town, and the Ministry of Construction has applied for a sum of [-] purple rune coins The cost of rebuilding the city outside the mountain!"

This group of people really think that money is not money, and they actually need [-] purple rune coins to rebuild the city outside the mountain. Do they really think that it is based on the standard of the balanced city?

With a gloomy face, I said sternly: "Zhihui, as the Minister of Finance, now I have to give you one of the most basic tasks, which is to strictly control all income and expenditure. Do you understand what that means? That is, if If the expenditure is greater than the income, it must be deducted from the wages and benefits of the alliance's civil servants, the benefits of ordinary people, the city's construction standards, etc., don't think that the balanced alliance really distributes benefits for free, income and expenditure It has to be balanced!"

Zhihui was obviously frightened by my stern expression, he said timidly: "But the city owner, the city has just been established, and there are many places that need to be spent, and with the tax exemption policy of Master Izemu, the income is really very little, very little... "Minghui's voice became softer after he said, probably because he was afraid that I would get angry.

I really felt like scolding the kid in front of me, but when I think about it, all the policies were set by myself at the beginning. At that time, I thought that the money in the mine would be endless, as long as the free benefits were more, the urban development would be smoother. It will be better and more attractive to those around you.

In this way, with the consecutive occupation of two cities, the population under the rule of the Balanced Alliance has exceeded one million.The daily free benefits are huge, even the mines are not enough to dig!
Wrong, wrong, wrong from the very beginning, it cannot be said that the starting point of people's life is set so high that people can get something for nothing, and housing cannot be permanently free, and the permanent right to live in the house must be exchanged for years of dedication.

The policy of Balance City can no longer be changed, but the newly occupied Iyo Castle and Yamagai City must formulate reasonable policies to balance income and expenditure!
I took a deep breath: "Zhihui, I was a bit harsh just now, sorry, but since you are the finance minister of the city of balance, you must consider the financial issues of all cities in the balance alliance in the future, even mine. Orders, you also have the right to refuse and make suggestions. From now on, except for the policy of Balance City, the policies of the other two cities will be re-formulated, and you will be responsible for contacting other departments to come up with a plan. Can you do it? !"

Although Zhihui is young, his unyielding momentum is not inferior to some adults. He nodded firmly: "City Lord, don't worry, I will definitely complete your task!"

I nodded and said: "There is a most basic principle, I hope you remember, that is, the poorest and lowest-level civilians should be given the most basic living guarantees, and don't reduce the basic life of this layer of civilians because of financial constraints." Guarantee, whether it is life or children's education, must be guaranteed!"

Zhihui nodded: "City Master, don't worry, I have lived at the bottom since I was a child, and I understand the difficulties at the bottom, and I will protect the interests of this level!"

I smiled and said: "It's good if you understand, but since you understand the difficulties at the bottom, you also have to understand the difficulties at the top. Don't think that the top has the most money, so try to reduce the benefits of this part. Remember the other One principle, we recognize differences, classes, and ranks, as long as we rely on legal and reasonable means, rely on our own wisdom and hard work to earn wealth, we must respect, protect, and even encourage!"

Zhihui memorized all my points of view with a small book, and argued a few words from time to time, and gained a lot.

"Okay, I've already said what should be said, Zhihui will do it, I will leave this matter to you, I will let Yi Zemu issue a notice, let all the departments assist you, the premise is that you must Get this done!"

Zhihui was nervous and excited, he nodded again: "Yes, City Lord, it must be done!"

To solve the problem of financial policy, now we have to solve the actual financial difficulties. Before that, I gave all the 50 purple rune coins I had to Miaomu Zhuang, and asked him to be in charge of attracting investment. I didn’t expect that after the two cities were conquered, there would be a financial gap. It is so big, according to Zhihui’s statistics, Iyo City needs at least [-] purple rune coins to implement identity card transformation, renovation of residential areas, new repairs of work areas, etc.; Ordinary standard rebuilding requires [-] red rune coins, and according to the standard of the balanced city, at least [-] purple rune coins are needed; there is also money needed for the reform of the county seat.

I roughly calculated that at least one hundred thousand purple rune coins are needed!
Poor thing, except for the pitiful little agricultural income in the whole city of equilibrium, other consumption income is basically used for welfare and returned to the merchants. Why am I so stupid to set up such a welfare system.

As a last resort, I can only go digging meticulously, I smiled wryly, and walked to the Yixiantian mining area!
