I Became a Progenitor Vampire Chapter 140: After the winter months, the urgent financial crisis
Time flies, and the light that shines on the body in the blink of an eye is the sun of another day.
When the ice and snow on the streets of the city of dawn melt, when the howling cold wind turns into a mild warm wind, when the cuckoo birds begin to croak on the tops of the broad-leaved sycamore trees that shoot new buds.
The cold and lonely winter months passed.
The warm and moist planting season is here.
At the beginning of March, the people who had been wrapped in thick cotton clothes had already taken off most of their clothes and packed lightly.
The city of Dawn, which was stagnant in winter due to the cold, is also rejuvenated.
The stalled mage tower began to recruit workers,
The blacksmith moved out piles of farm tools and distributed them to civilians,
The new clothes in the tailor shop have also changed from thick cotton-padded clothes to thin coats.
The whole city was reintroduced to life.
The new year has begun.
Li De stood by the window of the office on the third floor of the City Hall, watching the crowd coming and going on the street through the open window, with a deep smile in his eyes.
The winter months passed in a blink of an eye.
Many changes have taken place this winter, and the city of Dawn has completely changed its appearance compared to last year.
Now the land under his feet is a city with a population of nearly 10,000, and the number of blood races in it has exceeded 400.
The majestic Dawn Master Tower is under construction, the busy figure in the farmland outside the city is the farmer who is cultivating, and the energetic security team shuttles through the street wearing new uniforms.
Everyone's face is filled with hope and reverence.
The vitality that this city exudes is amazing.
"Harrison, report on the current situation in the city of dawn"
After a long time, Li De, who was dressed in a blue mage robes, with an elegant and perfect temperament, withdrew his gaze to the street.
Turned around and faced Harrison, who was wearing a dark gray robe and looking feminine.
Harrison was prepared for a long time, and after a slight salute, he began to report on the work progress throughout the winter.
He has developed a working habit, and will do a work summary at the beginning of each month.
Today happens to be March 3rd.
"Patriarch, the Winter Moon did not stop us from developing.
The first aspect is urban construction.
We have repaired many dilapidated houses, and the population that can be accommodated in the Southern District has increased by approximately 3,000 people.
Now the total number of houses can provide approximately 25,000 people to live in, and the number of people in the City of Dawn has been further increased.
However, in order to welcome the plundering of the population during the winter months this year, it is estimated that houses that can satisfy the population of 3,000 to 5,000 will be built.
The Mage Tower in the City of Breaking Dawn also restarted yesterday. With the assistance of 100 kinsmen, it is expected that the overall construction of the Mage Tower will be completed before May. "
Li De nodded, and did not interrupt Harrison's speech.
After the beginning of the spring, all the focus will be shifted to the construction of the city of dawn, and population plundering activities will be suspended.
According to the usual practice in previous years, the orcs will withdraw from the territory of the Nolan Empire and return to the barren wasteland after the Winter Moon, and humans will take over this land again.
To plunder the population now is undoubtedly going to head-on with the human army. Orcs will not smash with the blood, but humans will not mind hunting the blood that is full of alchemy materials.
Since the focus is to shift to urban construction, the Mage Tower in the City of Dawn will undoubtedly be a key construction project in the next two months. For this, he has dispatched hundreds of kinsmen to participate in the construction.
"The second point, the development of market economy
Because of the increase in the population, many people have the idea of opening shops and chambers of commerce. The city hall deliberately set aside a whole street near the square for human trade.
In the future, this will be the commercial center of the City of Dawn. Now this area has 6 tailor shops, 5 bakeries, 1 flower shop, 1 grain shop under the jurisdiction of the city hall, and 1 shop selling groceries. .
Because of the lack of materials, many residents who are interested in doing business cannot find a suitable intervention point, so this newly built market is not prosperous, but I believe that after the land can be cultivated, there will be a wave of explosions. "
Commercial development Li De did not deliberately control. The shortage of materials is now a big problem. If you want to develop business, you must solve this problem before you can talk about the next step.
Li De nodded to signal Harrison to continue.
"Third, the blood family itself.
After the hero selection contest, the number of blood races has reached 400, but the new 200 blood races are still relatively weak, all of which are between level 1 and 3.
It is expected that after the completion of the Mage Tower, there will be a wave of improvement in strength, but in a short period of time, only simple work can be done in the City of Dawn, and it will not be of great use. "
After the expansion of the kinship, the new kinship is undoubtedly low in strength, and it takes time to grow. Li De is so anxious to build the mage tower to improve the strength of the new kinship faster.
"Fourth, the iron ore in the Valley of the Giants.
The Cyclops are now the most powerful miners. They can mine forty tons of ore every day.
Although this iron ore is a rich ore, the quality of the ore is average. These ore can produce four tons of pig iron after being refined in a blast furnace newly built by the blacksmith in the City of Dawn. "
Li De nodded slightly. The quality of the ore could not be resolved, but he was very satisfied with the production efficiency.
Pure human mining of ore is undoubtedly a very inefficient thing. If humans are used to mine, perhaps hundreds of people will not be able to dig forty tons of ore a day.
The Cyclops undoubtedly helped him solve this big problem.
This group of beings with the blood of ancient giants possesses extremely terrifying power, and it seems to be born for mining except for battle.
The Cyclops only need to work hard to mine every day to get enough food and even save surplus food. They also feel very happy.
"Fifth, the operation of the city hall.
The Ministry of Agriculture has been established. In the past two months, it has begun to guide residents in selection and breeding...
The number of members of the security team has reached 200. They are trained in accordance with the required military training tasks every day. At present, the normal security issues are handled by the security team...
Logistics team...
Propaganda Department..."
In Harrison's one-day report, a series of issues concerning people's livelihood, agriculture, economy, politics, military, etc. in the city of Dawn were summarized in detail.
The development of the City of Dawn in the past six months was presented to him in an intuitive way.
Prosperous.
But Li De frowned at the last question.
He is going bankrupt...
"Clan chief, we have been carrying out high-intensity urban construction and various welfare expenditures. Now there are only less than 2,000 Kempke left on the book of the city hall."
"The various departments of the City Hall need to spend a fixed monthly payment of 1,000 Kimpuckers, and the money on the books is only enough for us to run for two months.
In other words, we are out of money"
This data caused Li De's mouth to twitch slightly. The development of the City of Dawn was completely supported by his blood family's vault, and his secret room full of Jin Puke had already been evacuated.
2000 Kimpuck is not a small amount for an individual, but for a fast-growing city, it is too small to bear to look directly at it.
A company with more than 10,000 employees and large-scale construction every month has only 20 million working capital on its books.
This development is undoubtedly walking a tightrope.
The rapid development of the city of Dawn in the early stage can be said to be based on the accumulation of wealth of the blood race.
Buy food, buy magic materials, buy various farm tools, cotton, cloth, and even pay the salaries of the security team, the late team, and other temporary workers.
The wealth of the blood family is transferred to the residents through the purchase of labor.
But now the City of Dawn has no other means to obtain the wealth of the residents,
So the current situation is that in addition to the daily expenses, the wealth accumulated by the residents will gradually increase, but in the end, the wealth that can flow back to the city hall is very small.
The city hall can only collect taxes if it wants to have income. Grain is sold at a discount, and the cost of harvesting is negligible.
But now the market is sluggish~IndoMTL.com~ is lack of materials, there are no commercial activities at all, and newly established chambers of commerce and shops can also enjoy the preferential policy of tax exemption for one year, which causes the city hall to only spend and have no income.
Using the heritage of the blood race can undoubtedly make the city become prosperous the fastest, but this kind of prosperity will also stagnate after the wealth is exhausted.
If there is no more financial support to get tax revenue in the City of Dawn, I am afraid that we will really face the dilemma of not being able to pay internal wages and having no money to buy supplies outside.
Li De gave a meaningful smile after thinking about it a little bit.
"It's okay, I'll take care of Kimpk. You just need to keep the development of the city of Dawn, and a large number of Kimpk will be accounted for soon"
The winter months have passed, and spring is here.
The adventurers in Green City should go out of the city to take an adventure, right? Those mercenaries who lick their blood should also accept employment, right?
His magic scroll factory has gone through a winter hoarding...it's also time to ship.
