Chapter VIII Forced Recruitment to Cause Public Indignation
【Ore Mountain: rich in ore resources.】
【Haohai Forest: rich in tree resources.】
The emergence of Ore Mountain and Haohai Forest has given two more landmarks on the minimap, forming a three-legged situation with Beiliang Village.
Apart from that, there is no change.
There is no need to pay too much attention.
His attention was still focused on upgrading the village.
Today, the village has reached the upper limit of 500 people, but because the village is not prosperous enough, the village cannot upgrade to a wealthy village.
So he must solve the problem of village prosperity as soon as possible.
According to the system prompts, there are two factors that affect the prosperity of the village.
First: The urban construction aspect of the village.
According to the requirements, the village must have one hundred residential houses and ten commercial buildings to achieve urban construction standards.
Second: In terms of the village’s financial reserves.
There are no particularly many requirements for funds, you only need to have 100,000 gold coins in the vault.
After completing the above two conditions, the village level can be upgraded to a wealthy village.
Urban construction is easy. You only need to build another fifty residential houses and three commercial buildings to complete the requirements of urban construction, but it is a bit troublesome in terms of financial reserves.
Currently, the gold coins in the vault are only 10,000 yuan, and it takes ten times more to reach the standard of 100,000 yuan. It is really difficult, especially since the village does not have many profits at present.
Commercial construction profits are one aspect.
But there are very few villagers who buy things. At present, the seven major commercial buildings have obtained a total of more than 200 gold coins from the villagers, which is not enough to pay the weekly salary of the seven shopkeepers.
Although the profits in this area may increase significantly as the villagers complete their tasks and obtain gold coins, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve 100,000 gold coins by relying solely on this.
All that remains is tax collection.
How much can a tax be collected by just 500 villagers?
The reward for a mining task is only ten gold coins, and 500 villagers can only make it five thousand gold coins at a time.
Only 20% of the tax on 5,000 gold coins is only 1,000 gold coins.
One thousand gold coins...
Huh?
Jiang Bei thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up. He seemed to have thought of a way to make money quickly.
He has seen the tasks of the shops in the commercial district. Those tasks are daily tasks, and villagers can take on tasks in this area ten times a day.
Suppose that 500 villagers do ten mining tasks a day and the gold coins they get are 50,000, and he can collect taxes of 10,000 gold coins here.
Ten days!
It only takes ten days.
The daily tasks done by these villagers alone can make the vault collect 100,000 gold coins in taxes!
Nothing wrong.
Completely feasible!
Just do it!
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei suddenly thought that his gold coins storage plan could be realized, but what he never expected was that these troublemakers began to make trouble again.
In order to allow these villagers to complete ten daily tasks honestly every day, Jiangbei first used Beiliang Village Radio to inform the shortage of materials in the weapons store, armor shop and tailor shop, and tried to make all villagers nervous and focus on daily tasks.
At the beginning, it was indeed as Jiangbei thought. On the first day, all players completed ten rounds of daily tasks. Beiliang Village turned losses into profits for the first time and earned 10,000 gold coins based on tax revenue.
Since the villagers themselves made money through tasks, Jiangbei did not need to continue to provide free food. Instead, the inns and taverns were able to earn 1,700 gold coins, because 500 villagers all needed food to fill their stomachs.
In addition, weapons shops, armor shops, tailor shops, and grocery shops have also received a profit. Among them, weapons shops and armor shops have the highest income, including 10,000 gold coins and 9,000 gold coins respectively. Almost every villager bought things in the weapons shops and armor shops.
The income of tailor shops and grocery shops is small, and the total amount is only one thousand gold coins.
Therefore, the income brought by the seven major stores alone has reached 21,700 gold coins in a single day.
But these are not all in the vault. According to the system regulations, the income brought by commercial stores must be reduced by half as a cost, which means that only 10,850 gold coins can enter the vault for these 21,700 gold coins.
With the tax of 10,000 gold coins, Beiliang Village's single-day income is 20,850 gold coins.
If you can continue at this speed, you can basically complete the storage requirement of 100,000 yuan in five days, but in fact you can't calculate it like this.
Because it is impossible for villagers to go to the commercial area to buy things every day.
For example, when a weapon shop has one weapon, most villagers do not buy a second weapon in a short time. They must wait until the weapon breaks before they go to the weapon shop to buy again. Therefore, it is conceivable that the income of the weapon shop will fall to the bottom tomorrow.
The same is true for armor shops.
The only thing that can ensure small floating is inns and taverns, which are daily consumption places.
Of course, pharmacies are also considered daily consumption.
But so far no villagers have gone to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
By this calculation, the income that commercial construction can bring tomorrow will be able to float up and down by at most a few thousand gold coins, and it will definitely not exceed ten thousand.
It's okay if you can't exceed ten thousand.
All of them are expected by Jiangbei, as long as the tax can be collected as much as 10,000 yuan per day, it is OK.
Next day the next, the third day.
The situation is as previously guessed. The daily income limit of shops in commercial districts has dropped. They barely earned 4,000 gold coins on the second day, but on the third day, there were only 2,800 gold coins left. Among them, the inns and taverns earned 2,000 gold coins together, and the remaining five shops earned 800 gold coins together.
There are a total of 68, and the cost of cutting half of the system is only 34,000 yuan. The shop also needs maintenance fees and the salary of the shopkeepers every week, so it can only barely achieve a balance of income and expenditure. It is basically impossible to rely on them to complete a reserve of 100,000 gold coins.
Good in addition to the decrease in revenue in commercial areas.
There is no problem with taxation. The villagers are very enthusiastic about daily tasks. The first time they get up every day is to do daily tasks, and there is no need for Jiangbei to supervise them.
But the problem also appears here.
Because of the high rewards for daily tasks, no villagers were willing to take over when Jiangbei continued to issue urban construction tasks. The system gave a prompt that the rewards for urban construction tasks for general tasks were too low (10 gold coins per day), and they had to work all day long, which was far less than the high income brought by daily tasks (100 gold coins per day). Therefore, after the task was released, no villagers responded to the task.
"Damn it! Trouble!" Seeing that these villagers learned to be petty and did not know how to make selfless contributions to the village, Jiangbei couldn't help but curse.
But scolding is useless, and the villagers just don’t want to go.
But it is impossible to make Jiangbei add money.
Stingy is one thing, and the urban construction task is the most basic. If he raises the price to 100 now, he may raise the price to 1,000 or even 10,000 in the future.
This certainly doesn't work.
So he could only use the village chief's rights to force all villagers to do urban construction tasks.
But as a result, all the villagers were immediately dissatisfied.
"Why? Why do you have to give me a compulsory task? I won't accept it!"
"What a broken game! I don't want to build a house and force me to go. Is your plan to die? Or have you been treated unfairly in society? Let's find a sense of existence?"
"Sima, how can we not go if you add some money? Ten gold coins want to make us tired all day?"
"That's it! The key is that after taking over the urban construction task, you don't have time to complete your daily tasks. One hundred gold coins! Isn't it clear how important one hundred gold coins are in the early stage of the game?"
"Complaint! Make sure to complain!"
Chapter completed!
