Chapter 402, I have plenty of money now

While Shang Yanwen was busy with imperial taxes, he did not forget that there was one thing he wanted to do.

That was when he was in Feiyingxing. Combining what he learned and his past experiences, he designed some industries that could be developed for his hometown, as well as corresponding specific development strategies.

But this time when he came back, he saw that his hometown had changed too much. Many of his previous ideas could not be described as 'design', but more like 'wild thoughts', which were not consistent with the current situation of Green Bee Street.

But he was not frustrated, nor was he anxious.

While busy working for imperial taxes, he also became more familiar with the neighborhood that had undergone so many changes and investigated many actual situations.

He constantly overturned his own plans and made a new one based on the current situation of the neighborhood and more realistically.

At the same time, he did not relax his duties.

When checking the tax situation, he found that the situation he was most worried about did not appear. Green Bee Block has a population of 420,000, and in the past year, the total output value of various materials in Green Bee Block was 390,000 tax coins. Most of it is consumed by the local population.

These value outputs, through currency and exchange, are turned into houses, food, furniture and appliances, textiles, and medical expenses... which has effectively improved the living standards of the people in the neighborhood.

The level of medical care is not high enough, there are not enough furniture and appliances, the types of food are not rich enough, and the textiles are not fashionable enough. Even the number of houses built by large-scale construction projects is actually not enough. Many people who should be allocated houses are still waiting in line.

The per capita consumption in the Green Bee neighborhood is 0.85 tax coins, which is not a very good standard of living, but it is definitely a living standard.

The neighborhood government actually started preparing for the imperial tax at the beginning of the year and set aside forty thousand tax coins. Its components are mainly some initially processed raw materials, textiles and alliance currency cash.

There are many physical objects recognized by the empire, but not all objects. Just produce a kitchen knife, a table, etc., and the Imperial Council will ignore you. Not to mention, some service industries, such as commerce, construction, transportation, and medical industries on the planet, of course have created value on the planet, but they have nothing to pay taxes to the empire.

Shang Yanwen once read an old report. In the hundred years before the Plague War, the per capita consumption of Koroga was actually only 0.3 tax coins. This is a level that can barely survive starvation; Koroga's per capita output value is only about 0.5 tax coins, only half of the empire's minimum per capita standard.

This is also the essential reason why the people of Koroga have to pay 0.05 tax coins per capita as imperial tax, and then face a 1% probability of being levied as an adult tax.

This is the essential logic behind Green Bee Street’s local population of 41, its total output value of 39 tax coins, consumption of 35, and 4 used to pay taxes.

As for the imperial tax, there is no need to worry.

They don’t have to worry about the real imperial tax. Those large industrial production areas will provide it, and the higher-level government will coordinate the planning; they helped with transportation, and also exported construction teams to build houses in other industrial areas, and obtained alliance coins. , which is essentially the value of their labor and is recognized by the coalition government.

After all, when the alliance government pays imperial taxes, the imperial tax officials will not recognize any alliance coins from you. In the eyes of the empire, currency is just a piece of waste paper. They only recognize tax payment certificates, which are tax coins, or real objects.

Of course, this is just the result of Shang Yanwen's observation of his Green Bee neighborhood.

But workers in these production areas also have to live. Their daily necessities, such as transportation, medical care, services, food... come from supplies elsewhere. This generally forms a division of labor: regions that can produce products in the imperial tax category purchase other services in other regions through the currency issued by the alliance, and they themselves produce most of the products required for imperial tax in the region. Non-producing areas use alliance coins to prove that they have made contributions through ancillary industries.

But they still created value.

As for where the 0.15 per capita tax currency difference went... then you have to ask the former bureaucracy and rulers of Koroga.

Therefore, in fact, planetary governments mainly rely on the production of "hard currency" recognized by the empire such as heavy industry, military industry, textile industry, and agriculture to pay taxes.

Now, the per capita consumption level has reached 0.85, which has more than doubled. It is no wonder that life has become more bearable.

But at present, the entire Promise City is roughly at this level. Even in the middle and upper areas of the hive city, the situation is much better than in the lower hive area; the situation in the bottom area may be worse, but overall it should be about the same.

This division of labor exists extensively at all levels. From block to block, from hive to hive, and even from planet to planet.

The main pillar industries of Green Bee Street are construction, transportation, waste recycling and primary processing of raw materials. Except for products processed from materials, which can be treated as real objects and paid imperial tax, other products are actually not very good.

Moreover, this is the consumption level after taking away the 0.1 imperial tax, which means that the Green Bee Block will no longer need to pay personal tax in the future.

However, there is no doubt that it is much better than before.

Neighborhoods can pay taxes to higher-level governments in cash using alliance coins. Accordingly, the alliance government will use these alliance currencies to pay some key industrial areas, such as military factories and heavy factories. Their output is the main source of physical tax payments.

Looking at all the hives in the entire Koroga from the perspective of Promise City, if every hive is at this level, then it can be said that the entire Koroga is on the right track. Koroga no longer needs to pay human tax. It can complete the imperial tax by relying on its own production and is no longer a burden to the alliance.

According to the current development speed, in another two years, there may be a balance; in a few years, the balance will become larger and larger, and the living standards of the people of Koroga will become better and better, and it will become a major engine for the development of the alliance—— The population size is here.

Wanting to understand these things really makes Shang Yanwen very excited.

He was excited that he could personally participate in this great change of the times.

And the development plan he made in his spare time will also give another engine to the Green Bee neighborhood on this basis.

After the busy work of imperial tax came to an end, he approached his immediate boss, Moody, the head of the neighborhood government, and proposed his idea.

What he wants to do is a circular breeding system.

In the Green Bee neighborhood, there used to be a small flying creature that looked like a bat, with tough fleshy wings and strong teeth. The main materials it needs for survival are three things: human domestic garbage, wastewater discharged from industrial production, and a luminous spore fungus produced in a highly polluted environment.

The locals call this thing 'fluorescent sick bat'. In the past, it was a harmful organism in the lower nest area and Diji area of ​​Nuoyan City. It would bring diseases, pollution, and radiation to the people, causing illness and even death. .

The neighborhood has also spent some effort and special management. This kind of thing still exists, but there are not so many.

But Shang Yanwen saw the value of this little monster. A classmate he knew at an engineering school in Feiyingxing had a research project on biomaterials. Shang Yanwen felt that the little monster from his hometown, with its teeth tempered by eating highly polluting bacteria, organic waste, and drinking wastewater, as well as its skin that is quite resistant to damage, would be good materials.

Before, he tried to get some of these 'specialties' from the nest area under Nuoyan City, and analyzed them for the research team, saying that they were indeed of certain value.

As long as it can be mass-produced, the collected monster wings and teeth can be used as a good biological material, which can be used for leather materials required for mechanical manufacturing, armor lining, and corrosion-resistant biological materials. Shine in some places.

He compiled a copy of relevant technical materials and brought them back.

What he has to do is to designate a certain area to breed polluting bacteria, then breed mutant monsters under strong pollution, and then slaughter them intensively to collect biological materials for sale to some processing plants.

This is preliminary engineering. In the future, it is best that the relevant processing industries can be undertaken by the Green Bee Block and relevant factories be established; or even on this basis, a more comprehensive industrial chain can be developed.

If the whole package can be completed, there is no doubt that the Green Bee neighborhood will get a new industry. This means higher output value, more jobs, and it will be easier for residents of the Green Bee neighborhood to upgrade their ranks. Once they have money, people's living standards will be further improved, and they will be able to directly pay more taxes and make greater contributions to the alliance.

After hearing Shang Yanwen's plan, Moody patted his thigh and said: "As expected of a top student! You have already helped a lot with the tax affairs, let alone another surprise now!"

"Do you think this matter is feasible?" Shang Yanwen was not as confident as when he had just talked.

In essence, he is still a newcomer with little experience in governing. He was very afraid that the things he carefully made were actually his own whims. Although he had tried his best to avoid this situation, and had done a lot of research, and the plan contained many carefully considered specific implementation steps, he was still a little uneasy.

He was afraid of ruining his hometown.

But Moody seemed much more relieved: "We don't have to think about this or that. We just have to have this spirit. As long as the whole thing looks good, just do it! So what if we fail? Our superiors won't do it because of us." Punishing us for a failed attempt, the league has always encouraged this kind of innovative behavior!"

"However, we do have to be cautious. If we invest too much, it will still have an impact."

"Let's start with small-scale breeding and work slowly!"

"As long as we can do it, we have solved a big problem! To be honest, there are still a lot of labor in the neighborhood that have not been absorbed. This is the core indicator of our regional government. I am already worried. Your method sounds Not bad, I definitely have to try it!”

"Even if it can only accommodate dozens or hundreds of people at the beginning, it is still good. Don't underestimate hundreds of jobs. With hundreds of jobs with stable output, you can afford a new shopping mall. More construction workers, more hawker stalls...the ancillary industries will develop along with it."

"Not to mention, there will be opportunities to become bigger and stronger in the future!"

Shang Yanwen was encouraged and said: "Then do it! I will apply for interstellar communication opportunities immediately and contact my classmates. Their research group will be interested in us!"

……

Shang Yanwen's deeds were condensed into a short report, which was placed on Gu Hang's desk together with the deeds of several other young civil servants and new managers of state-owned enterprises who also performed well.

At this moment, Gu Hang was on the starship, heading to Koroja. During the voyage, he read these documents and gave this evaluation:

"Our young people are doing a really good job."

He was quite pleased.

The industry created by Shang Yanwen is quite prosperous. Within a few months, it will have a good output value. It has a stimulating effect on the local neighborhoods and has the value of promoting to the bottom and bottom nests of the entire Promise City Hive.

Although, even if this industry develops in the future, the output value will be a small matter overall. Its scope of application is still a bit narrow. The ground teeth and peeled and processed bat wings become a basic material after processing, which can only play a certain role in the construction of some industrial parts and components. It is not the same industry as metal smelting. Conceptual volumetric scale. In the past, the alliance also used this material, but it basically relied on imports.

However, the innovation ability under the alliance system reflected behind this incident, as well as the emergence of this new generation of administrative staff, are things that make Gu Hang even more happy.

One circular breeding and processing industry is nothing. If there are several more, or even connected in large areas, to build multiple industrial chains, it may be of high value. Moreover, as long as the alliance system is proven to be innovative and the new generation of alliance officials are reliable, then whether it is developing new industries or maintaining old industries, there is no problem in saying that the future is promising.

Putting this matter aside, Gu Hang looked at another electronic board at hand.

Above this is a more important thing.

The tax situation faced by the Union.

Currently, the imperial tax is collected in one go by treating the alliance as a whole. For the empire's tax fleet, this can be regarded as a hassle-free operation.

Currently, the alliance’s overall annual tax revenue is 109.5 billion tax dollars. Wing Star 40 billion, Fachus Star 30 billion, Koruga 1 and 3 combined 35 billion, Raging Owl Star 1 million, Black Arrow Star 1.5 million, Red Arrow Star 2 million.

When the tax was set, there were 10 billion people on Raging Owl and 15 billion people on Black Arrow. The extra population all migrated from Koroga. As a result, Koruga's population dropped from more than 35 billion to about billion, with a tax rate of billion.

Subtracting the tax exemption limit of 40 billion and paying taxes every two years, the alliance has to pay 139 billion in imperial taxes in the two tax payment seasons of the past four years.

This is a huge number that Gu Hang, who was not yet developed a few years ago, could not even imagine, but for the current alliance, it is not difficult.

Especially during the recent tax payment season, Flying Wings completed a Musician-class cruiser and four destroyers, which amounted to more than 10 billion.

If the imperial tax is retained every year, the alliance's financial balance can still be more than 5 billion.

In Gu Hang's most recent phone call with his mother, he said quite openly:

"I have plenty of money now."
