Chapter 1222 The third line construction plan (seeking monthly ticket)
In the large conference room of Naian, all the main military and political officials of Naian were gathered together.
After more than a year, a military and political conference led by Governor Lorraine was held here again.
Whether it was Angus, who was the chief steward of the province, Gretan, the director of the tax bureau, or Alva, the first patent director of Naian, almost everyone looked very excited, with happy faces, looking at the seat in the middle.
Governor of Lorraine.
The reason why I say almost is because of Sheriff Ignatz sitting in the corner. He hid in the corner, lowered his head and remained silent, extremely low-key.
This is not surprising. Due to the influx of a large number of foreigners, the population of Nai'an has grown exponentially. In this process, since it is impossible to conduct strict background checks, there are also a large number of ordinary people coming along with them.
With the presence of ruffians and gangsters, the security situation naturally deteriorated rapidly.
Although Ignatz also used his thunderous iron fist and carried out several severe strikes.
Moreover, all the captured scoundrels were sent to the ‘Auschwitz Sunshine Leisure Weight Loss and Slimming Training Quarry’, but the effect achieved was not great.
Those bastards and scoundrels are like leeks in the spring field. As soon as one crop is cut, the next one can't wait to grow up.
It made Ignatz anxious and angry.
Sir Alex is also quite tolerant of this situation - he clearly knows that in this situation, no one can do better.
As long as no particularly serious and vicious cases occur, Ignatz is considered to be doing a good job.
However, Ignatz is still very knowledgeable. No matter what, it is not a glorious thing. At this time, it is better for him to keep a low profile.
Besides him, there was another person who was also unhappy.
That is Leo, Chairman Lei Da.
He sat next to Lorraine, putting his hands on his bulging belly. He lowered his head and was thinking about something.
Except for the two of them who had their own thoughts, everyone present looked eager, and their eyes were full of respect when they looked at Lorraine.
They did not lower their respect for the young governor at all because of the various rumors circulating in Maple Leaf Danlin.
The brilliant achievements that Nai'an has made in just three years are all due to the leadership of this governor~!
The gang of bastards from the United Nations in Maple Leaf Danlin actually forced their own governor to leave. This can only show that they are not in their right mind.
"If you dare to mess with this man, you are looking for trouble~!" Angus silently sentenced the UN representatives to a suspended sentence, then touched his shiny forehead and sighed regretfully - ever since his hair disappeared one by one,
This has become his habitual action.
In addition to him, there are many people who don't understand the overall situation and are secretly happy for Sir Alex's return. The reason is very simple. This time Sir Alex comes back, he can lead everyone to grab money... Well, no, he can bring him with him
Everyone is trying new ways to make money.
What you save is that you are not at home all year round, and you have to spend money abroad. How much more money can you make by going back and forth~!
Lorraine looked around. When he saw everyone had arrived, he immediately knocked on the table and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start."
"Yes, sir." Angus stood up first.
He bowed to Lorraine and opened the document in his hand. Although he had read it many times, Angus's heart still couldn't help but tremble every time he saw the shining golden numbers on it.
This data is really exciting~!
Angus took a breath, calmed down his excitement, and said: "Sir, according to the statistics just completed, our economic growth rate last year was 180%.
Among them, agriculture and farms increased by 50%. Factories and industry increased by 200%."
Although many people present already knew this data, when they heard it, they couldn't help but feel a commotion. They kept talking to each other in low voices.
Two hundred percent. This is an amazing data.
You know, last year, Nai'an's steel production was already a quarter of the entire continent. And what is the concept of doubling it again?
In other words, from now on, for every two iron nails used on the mainland, one will be from Nai'an.
All of you sitting here have received elite education from feudal landlords and nobles, and you know clearly what this means.
From now on, no one will dare to challenge Nai An. Just using steel, you can smash him to death three times~!
"Is this the data reported to Ruman City?" Lorraine ignored everyone and asked Angus: "What is it actually?"
Just looking at the scale of Nadel City's expansion over the past year, Lorraine knew that the factory's growth would definitely more than double.
There is no longer any place to set up a shed in and around the city, and the newly built factories have expanded to dozens of miles away from the city.
"Actually," Angus glanced at the tax collector Gretan who was sitting not far away, showing a politician's smile after a conspiracy succeeded, and said, "it is at least three times, and more detailed data cannot be counted because it changes too fast.
.”
Chairman Leo, who had been glum all the time, finally showed a happy smile and said, "Is this normal? We didn't pay more taxes to Russell, right?"
Tax officer Gretan shrugged, then spread his hands and said: "Excluding the annual aid allocation of one million, it will be the same as in previous years."
Chairman Leo flattened his lips and complained dissatisfiedly: "I still paid an extra million."
Before Lorraine took office, Rudrun felt guilty that he pointed out the poorest place in the country to Catherine's boyfriend, so he gave Lorraine a special allocation of one million every year.
Now it has been offset by the newly paid taxes.
Since the economic growth rate has tripled, tax revenue will definitely double accordingly, and the proportion of taxes paid to Ruman City will also increase significantly.
This means that the entire empire will enjoy the benefits of Naian's rapid development. For the Naian people, of course they are not willing to do so.
When the people of Nai'an were so poor that they had to wear their pants, no one cared about them. Why should they give it to others now that they have money?
Even if it is public funds, no official in Nai'an wants this money to go into other people's pockets.
The tax officer directly appointed by Ruman City is to supervise this situation.
However, the tax collector Gretan is a sensible person, and his immediate superior is Baron Rocund, the undersecretary of the treasurer, and Baron Rocund is Lorena's father, and is the cheap father-in-law of the Governor of Lorraine.
A large part of Naian's industry belongs to Lorraine and Leo's Flying Eagle Group, which also includes Emperor Rudelun's shares.
Even though Gretan couldn't figure it out clearly, he didn't dare to check the taxes of the current emperor and the future emperor. He still wanted to keep his job and retire peacefully.
The tax reported is therefore also the official Angus Statistics figure.
"How much was the tax last year?" Lorraine asked with concern.
Angus chuckled and said: "The tax paid to Ruman City was three hundred and fifteen. And the actual collection last year..."
Angus paused for a moment, then said quietly: "Eight million~!"
"There are so many~!" Chairman Leo jumped up from his chair in shock and shouted loudly.
Nai'an local government secretly withheld five million. If Russell knew about this, the old guy would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
However, Chairman Leo was very happy and gave Angus a thumbs up.
Angus looked at Patent Director Alva who was sitting at the end of the conference table and said: "This is all thanks to the Patent Protection Law promulgated by the Governor. Director Alva, please tell me."
"Yes," Director Alva stood up nervously, like a primary school student reciting text, and said loudly: "Last year, a total of 1032 patents were accepted. During the patent transaction, 870 patents were often listed.
patents. More than 5,000 new factories have been established, which will create nearly 100 million in wealth every year."
This number made Lorraine speechless. Lorraine also knew that patents are a guarantee to stimulate the healthy development of industry. Only by protecting patented products can small and medium-sized landowners be attracted to put the moldy gold coins hidden in cellars into factory production.
Otherwise, without patent protection, they would not be able to fight against the privileged nobles. There are people as powerful as Lorraine, and there are still people who covet his property, let alone the rustics from the countryside.
It’s not that there are no rich people in Nai’an, it’s that many people have money and don’t dare to spend it.
It has only been two years since the Patent Office was established, and its current achievements have completely exceeded Lorraine's expectations.
Angus waved his hand, motioned Director Alva to sit down, and said: "Not only us Naian people, but now people from all over the country are investing in building factories in Naian, and there are even Parthians among them.
At present, there are thousands of factories producing various types of screws and screws, many of which are supporting the Feiying Group."
It is the business strategy of Feiying Group to hand over the production of small and simple parts to local small and medium-sized factories. It is beneficial to both parties.
After hearing the news that there is money to be made by opening a factory in Nai'an, the rich people across the continent are like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers. They are attracted by the news, especially the majority of small and medium-sized landowners. As long as they can make a profit, their adventurous ambitions are as big as those of the undead.
priest.
On the mainland, Nai'an has long been promoted as a paradise for adventurers, a paradise filled with gold, and legends of seizing opportunities to become rich overnight have been staged frequently.
Many people even sold their properties and brought their families to Nai'an to look for new opportunities because they couldn't stand the oppression and exploitation of the nobles.
These hard-working, brave and intelligent new immigrants have written a magnificent history of immigration and development.
After Angus, officials from different departments reported on their work. In short, the situation was very good, not a small good, but a great one.
It's all good news. Even the last group of barbarians who were hiding deep in the southern grasslands and refused to surrender were envious of the subsistence life of their compatriots and came out to surrender. There are fewer and fewer people left to cause trouble.
Lorraine and Leo were delighted to hear this. If this growth rate could be maintained, Naian would surpass Ruman City and become number one in the world in less than twenty years.
The constant collection of good news made Lorraine more confident about her plan.
After everyone reported their work, Lorraine looked at them seriously and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you are creating an unprecedented history.
There is an old saying that has been said a thousand times, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous. A war between us and the undead tribe is inevitable~!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid. The war that burned across the continent thousands of years ago left behind too many horrific stories.
"The scale, cruelty, and duration of this war will exceed everyone's imagination." Lorraine said slowly, leaving them time to think.
"So, we must build Nai'an into a safe rear area." Lorraine vowed: "Provide support for the entire human war."
Angus and the others looked at each other, shocked by Lorraine's astonishing move. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief and were secretly glad.
Being a rear area means, of course, that it does not have to become a battlefield. This is undoubtedly great news for the Naian people.
No one wants their homeland to be ravaged by war, and no one wants to see their family go to the battlefield and never return.
At the same time, Angus also had doubts in his mind. Is it enough for them to provide support for the entire human war?
Naian cannot even cover the entire Ruman Empire domestic market, let alone a continent.
When Angus saw the ambitious Governor of Lorraine, his heart brightened and he thought to himself: Since the Governor of Lorraine said it can be done, then it must be done~!
The people of Naian have long been accustomed to the miracles created by this governor.
Leo was also very excited about this ambitious plan. The arms business was the most profitable.
What is the rear support war support?
Arms~!
If successful, this will be a big business that will benefit the entire continent.
Profit is already secondary. After success, the Ruman Empire and the Flying Eagle Group will pinch the eggs of all the countries in the continent and make them want to live and die.
Lorraine is in high spirits. This big plan is what suits the Lord the most - either we don't want to play it, or if we want to play it, we can make it big.
Lorraine also put a lot of effort into this.
He gestured and explained to everyone: "Nai'an will become a safe haven. It will become the primary target for all countries facing the threat of war to transfer funds. It will attract investment from all over the continent to develop Nai'an's industrial production."
In fact, this is how the big Citi Empire made its fortune. Capitalists and wealthy people who faced the threat of war fled with their wealth to the Citi Empire, which was safe and far away from the war, to build factories or invest.
Citigroup then uses these manufactured products and sells them to warring countries, destroying them from the inside out.
Even after the war, old Europe was so poor that it could no longer get up due to lack of hematopoietic capacity. They worked hard again and accumulated wealth for fifty years before returning to where they started.
Angus and the others had pleasant smiles on their faces. This wonderful prospect made people excited just thinking about it.
These officials have experienced the charm of industry and know that industry, large-scale production in factories, telegraphs, and trains are the future of mankind.
The prerequisite for all this is funding.
"My dear Angus," Lorraine looked at the political officer at hand and said, "How much money do we have on our account?"
Angus's round and rosy face, which was originally full of joy, collapsed in an instant, his eyebrows drooped, he spread his hands on the table, and said with a sad face: "No money. Not a penny left."
"How could that happen?" Lorraine felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head.
Chairman Leo didn't care about the sand in his eyes, he slapped the table and jumped up, saying: "Didn't I just say that after collecting eight million in taxes, only three million was given to Ruman City, and the remaining five million was left? No.
Aren’t you civil servants secretly giving out benefits?”
The underground officials stared in shock, their hearts shaking, and secretly said: We all know this, it seems that this man will not be fooled even if he becomes the emperor.
Angus smiled bitterly and thought to himself: He is indeed a business wizard, the young man has bright eyes.
Nai'an's military and political personnel have really received a lot of benefits.
"This..." Angus pondered for a moment and explained: "Your Majesty the Governor, Chairman Rong Zhen, all the remaining tax revenue has been invested in infrastructure construction, and the civil servants in the province have only increased by 30%.
The salary, plus the benefit of an extra month’s salary at the end of the year, adds up to a total increase of less than 300,000.”
Leo opened his palm, stretched out his five fingers, and gestured: "Five million, all spent?"
Angus nodded solemnly, twirled his fingers, and said item by item: "It cost two million to expand the five ports including Naidel and Bambulun. It cost one million and three hundred thousand to rebuild the new official road.
One million was spent on building new cities, adding new customs and anti-smuggling fleets, and strengthening local government departments.
Land acquisition, demolition, expansion of Naidel, and leveling of industrial land cost another four hundred thousand.
In addition, there are personnel training, law enforcement inspections, etc.”
Angus scratched his head in distress and said: "Five million is still far away~!
The third phase of the Naidel Port expansion project has just been completed. According to the current growth rate, the fourth phase will be launched this month, and the planning of the fifth phase will begin.
If we follow the Governor's plan to attract investments from all over the continent to Naian, we must now build a satellite city of Naider, or build several new cities on the south bank of the Beni River to accommodate the skyrocketing population.
Build official roads connecting the entire province, build a postal and telegraph system, and expand functional departments again."
Lorraine raised her hand and said: "I also want to build a bridge to the train across the Beni River."
Angus curled his lips and said: "Okay, let's count a bridge. It all involves one word, money~!
Another five million won't be enough. Even if you give me thirty million, I can spend it right away."
Lorraine slapped her thigh and said, "These plans must be implemented immediately. We don't have much time left."
Angus grinned and cried bitterly: "But where does the money come from?"
"There will be a sum of 10 million in cash in the future, divided into ten months." Lorraine patted Angus on the shoulder and said, "You can use it first. But you have to pay it back."
Angus took a breath and thought, is this man really like the legendary one, the illegitimate son of the God of Light? That's 10 million~!
"Boss," Leo grabbed Lorraine's sleeve and said nervously, "That's for building the railway. If you can't build the railway, are you going to compensate others with yourself?"
Although Lorraine, Leo and their girlfriends each have a net worth of several million, those are shares of the Flying Eagle Group, which have long been invested in expanding production. They receive dividends every year, and they really don't have much cash to use. They are smuggling to the Semitic people.
His financial path was cut off again.
The capital chain of the Flying Eagle Group cannot be broken no matter what. Lorraine and Leo have no place to find millions of financial resources now.
Lorraine touched her nose and said: "It seems that the only way is to let the railway company go public." (To be continued)!~!
