Chapter 160

Lin Guiyao tapped the black pot with his fingers, and then took a look at the pot ashes on his fingers, it was black and sticky.

But before he could open his mouth, Gui Xingchao explained to him first, as long as Lin Guiyao was willing to take the blame, it was enough.

The rest should be handed over to him.

"Don't you forget what a world it is out there! Who isn't struggling to survive? If we don't do it, other people will, so are they hoping for a better life in the city, or someone else How is life as a slave in your territory?"

"Think about it carefully, this process is just advanced by us, as long as we are good to the people who bought it, it can be regarded as making up for them, right?!"

Gui Xingchao fixed his eyes on Chen Elong,
"It's true to be kind, but Village Chief Lin's kindness is to keep his own people first, and we are not strong enough to manage other people's affairs! I hope everyone can understand this point, otherwise, sooner or later we will harm others and ourselves!"

Seeing Chen Elong sighed and finally lowered his head, Lin Guiyao walked to Hu Xiaoer's side and scraped off her small oil bottle hanging high.

"Although the military division's words are a bit harsh, that's what I mean. The first thing I want to guarantee is ourselves. Xiao Er, only when I turn bad can you continue to be like this. I have no choice, do you understand?"

"Wow! Xiaoer understands, brother Lin, I'm sorry! Huh!" Who would have thought that Hu Xiaoer suddenly pouted, threw himself into Lin Guiyao's arms, and burst into tears.

Lin Guiyao shook his head with a wry smile, but seeing everyone standing up in unison and bowing to him, the last bit of unbearable feeling in his heart slowly dissipated.

"It's worth it for me to do this!"

After comforting Hu Xiaoer, Lin Guiyao sat back down again, but this time Hu Xiaoer was holding onto the corner of his little clothes tightly, with a distressed look on his face and a slight headache.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, return to the military division to continue."

Gui Xingchao nodded.

A man who is decisive, willing to take responsibility, and treats his subordinates like family members is right!

"Then let's continue the topic of spending. Repairing the city wall and buying slaves, the money spent on these two things is enough to consume our 400 million monthly income.

What's more, we hope that those who have signed contracts in the city will be responsible for their food and living expenses. After they become citizens and villagers, we still have to pay them wages. This money cannot be saved. "

Everyone nodded. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the 400 million is really not enough.

Gui Xingchao continued: "Moreover, the mission center's bounty requires money, and the development of the territory also requires a large amount of purchased materials. What's even more troublesome is that Metropolis may send an astronomical tax bill at any time. We can't prepare at all. nor."

"If you have any tricks, you can tell me directly! I can't think of so many twists and turns with my lumpy head." Xu Shilang yelled, and everyone smiled, which relieved the dull atmosphere just now.

"Well, of course there are." Gui Xingchao also smiled, hoping that the atmosphere in the city will be good. Like him, he was promoted to the second in command like a rocket, but he was not squeezed out or questioned by any veterans. The place is simply unimaginable.

This is also one of the reasons why he admires Lin Guiyao so much and wholeheartedly advises Lin Guiyao.

"This trick is very simple, four words: increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Everyone nodded, and Gui Xingchao continued: "But before I talk about my plan, I will give you a set of numbers. This plan is also based on this."

"The current population of Hope City is: 230 eight villagers, 730 two citizens, 450 residents, and 77 criminals. There are 110 employees on Shenle Street. The total is 600 There are about 270 million people, and the materials and wages we need to spend on them every month are about [-] million!"

"Hiss, so many?" Everyone was shocked, this accounted for more than half of the monthly harvest!
Lin Guiyao understands that this is actually not bad, as long as the leaders and criminals are given food, those who have jobs, especially the salaries on Kagura Street, are the big ones. After all, where is the labor cost? No less.

"Of the 270 million, the employee expenses of Kagura Street accounted for 100 million! So my first plan is: the business on Kagura Street will shrink significantly. It is completely unnecessary for us to operate so many shops. , as long as the main catering business is grasped, twenty employees are enough, and other excess shops can be rented to the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce for operation.

In this way, firstly, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary personnel and shop expenses, secondly, the income will not be too much less, but will increase the rent, thirdly, it can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to the metropolis, and a slight reduction Their hostility towards us, I think, the group of businessmen on the sixth ring road of the metropolis has been jealous of Kagura Street for a long time, and if they don't give them any favors, I'm afraid they will jump. "

Everyone laughed, the prosperity of Kagura Street really made those few merchants envious.

"This one is fine, just be careful not to let them stink up Kagura Street, um, and those employees who have been laid off, try to appease them as much as possible. If it is available, transfer to Hope City, Anjia's Help them implement it." Lin Guiyao added his own opinion.

"Naturally, the second point is to increase the inns in the city. Since there are not many people who are willing to settle down, but there are one or two thousand people who flow into our Hope City every day. The demand is great, so we must get this money. .I plan to expand the inn to 100 rooms for the time being, and it will be enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people. By then, it will at least increase our income by more than [-] million per month!"

Lin Guiyao did not object to this. In the past, only one inn was built because the poor could not afford it and there were not so many rich people. But now that the floating population has increased, it is necessary.

"Thirdly, the Central Market has been expanded to [-] stalls, and managed according to the categories of goods. The stalls are also billed separately according to the size and type. For long-term leases, weekly, monthly, quarterly or even annual fees can be provided. In this way We can gather funds quickly, and the minimum booth fee can be lower, even the refugees can afford to rent it, and we can just increase the price after the market comes alive.”

"Fourth, for settled properties, in addition to opening shops, we can also provide normal houses for them to live in, as well as warehouses, which can meet the needs of some big businessmen. But the main thing is to rent. After all, the land price in our place will be lower. It's getting more expensive."

"Well, is there any more?" Lin Guiyao asked.

"Yes," Gui Xingchao seemed hesitant for the first time, but he still said:

"I don't know if the lord has thought about exporting food and water?"
