God Emperor of Sword Domain

Chapter 520

In fact, there is still a big difference between diverting the snow river and digging a canal.

It is more urgent to change the course of the Snow River, as long as the river is opened, there is no need to clear the river, and the channel of the Snow River is narrow, so it can only be dug [-] miles a day.

If you dig a canal, you need to widen the channel and clear the river bed, and the speed will be much slower.

However, Ye Xuan has considered that, even if it is slower, the [-]-mile canal from Liuyun City to Longyuan State can be dug within three months.

After the canal plan was determined, many questions were raised.

"City Master, digging the canal will definitely change the water environment of the Lushui River, and it is likely to stop flowing. If our canal causes the original Lushui River to stop flowing, I am afraid we will become the target of public criticism." A member of the Water Conservancy Department The deacon asked.

"I have already considered this situation, and the solution is not difficult. Just build dams at various sections of the canal to store water. In addition, the tributaries of other rivers can be diverted into the canal, which will not change the environment of Lushui in the end." Ye Xuan Answer this.

After discussing various matters concerning the excavation of the canal, it was determined that the canal would be excavated in three days.

Next, one major development event of Floating Cloud City was brought up.

Ye Xuan gave solutions one by one, with a very unique style of acting, but he was able to solve the problem accurately every time.

At the same time as the canal was confirmed, the three-fold expansion plan of Floating Cloud City was also determined, but this expansion plan was carried out in three stages, and the expansion progress was advanced according to the development speed of Floating Cloud City.

Immediately afterwards, the Household Registration Department raised the problem of population growth.

"City Master, although the canal project can change the traffic problems of Floating Cloud City, the population growth cannot be achieved overnight. With the current population growth rate of Floating Cloud City, it is difficult to reach a million population within ten years."

This issue has been discussed with Fang Gunxiao before, and Ye Xuan directly gave a solution: "First, from next month, Liuyun City will officially sell Wuzong-level pills, starting the development process of the fourth-level city. Second, Announced to the public that Kunpeng College’s alchemy level has been upgraded to Wuzong level, and it will recruit students from all over the continent. No need for family background, no cost, and full-time work-study. Third, within the area under the jurisdiction of Liuyun City, immigrant farmers are allocated farmland, and farmland in the entire region Tax exemption for ten years."

As soon as the three city lord orders came out, the audience was stunned.

Some were shocked that Liuyun City was about to produce a fourth-order elixir, which was a training resource that only the strong in the Martial Ancestor Realm needed to use.

Some were shocked by the last one, all farmland is exempt from taxation, this decree is terrible.

It has a fatal attraction for farmers who make a living by farming. As soon as this decree comes out, all farmers who can move within a thousand miles will want to move here.

But at the same time, as soon as this decree comes out, it means that the City Lord's Mansion has almost no tax revenue for ten years, and the consequences are even more dire.

"City owner, if taxes are exempted for ten years, then Floating Cloud City will have no income, and canals will be dug to expand the city... Within three months, Floating Cloud City will collapse."

This is a matter of vision.

In fact, Ye Xuan's idea at the beginning was that farmland taxes would never be levied.

In a prosperous and prosperous city, farmland taxes are nothing compared to commercial taxes.

What's more terrifying than the commercial tax is that Floating Cloud City is actually on the trade route of the Wanzu caravan, but the road is not easy to walk, and the trade route detours to the Southern Barren State.

As long as the canal is dug and a wharf is built in Floating Cloud City, the trade routes of all races must pass through Floating Cloud City, and the income from the wharf alone will be able to support a mighty city.

A small amount of farmland tax, for the sake of rapid population growth, can be exempted forever.

However, Ye Xuan did not directly issue a decree never to levy farmland taxes, because the people of Dazhou had paid taxes for tens of millions of years, and suddenly heard that there was no need to pay farmland taxes, their first reaction was definitely not joy, but panic.

……

Of course, if Floating Cloud City starts to expand and build the pier at the same time, it will need to spend a huge amount of money, so a large amount of money must be obtained first.

Ye Xuan continued to issue a decree: "It is planned to build a canal wharf ten miles south of the city, allocate [-] mu of land, and plan warehouses and commercial areas in proportion. All the land in the area will be publicly auctioned and notified to the whole Da Zhou. As long as it is a family of the Da Zhou Dynasty, it can There is no upper limit on the price in the auction.”

As soon as this decree came out, some people looked confused, and some instantly understood its meaning, but not many people really knew how big the benefits were.

Fang Qiangxiao had never heard Ye Xuan talk about this before, but when he heard it now and thought about it, his eyes widened.

After Xu Maosheng heard about the wharf land auction plan, he felt a little more at ease, and said, "City Master, this wharf land auction is a good method. In this way, you should be able to earn back more than half of the canal excavation costs excluding the mountain-crossing beasts."

"Earn more than half of the cost of digging the canal?" Ye Xuan smiled and said nothing.

"Isn't it possible? If the wharf is built, many warehouses and shops will be built around it. There should be many families willing to buy the land there." Xu Maosheng said with a frown.

Seeing that everyone present was a little confused, Fang Qiangxiao smiled and said: "You probably haven't figured it out yet. In terms of straight-line distance, Floating Cloud City is on the Wanzu Commercial Road, but because the road goes south, the Wanzu Commercial Road Only then will they go to the southern barren state. As long as the canal is completed, Floating Cloud City will definitely become a newly rising city on the Wanzu Commercial Road. The value of Floating Cloud City's wharf, haha..."

With a loud laugh, the intention speaks for itself.

When Xu Maosheng and the others heard this, their eyes widened immediately, and they immediately knew how terrifying the value contained in it.

The only way for the commercial road of all races, a canal wharf.

Fang Qiangxiao looked at everyone's reaction, smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "Do you know how scary your city lord is? As long as you publicize the canal plan and the auction of the dock land at the same time, let alone the families of Floating Cloud City want to buy it. , I am afraid that the top ten martial arts families in the Great Zhou Emperor Capital will intervene. At that time, I am afraid that those small shrimps in Floating Cloud City cannot be bought in a single store."

Terrible, indeed.

At this time, Xu Maosheng finally realized the horror of this.

As long as the excavation of the canal is completed, then the canal wharf in Flowing Cloud City will indeed be of great value, and it will definitely attract big Zhou dignitaries to compete for auctions.

At that time, the price of [-] mu of land around the canal wharf will definitely be raised to an astronomical figure.

Just like what Fang Qiangxiao said, the martial arts family in Floating Cloud City might not even be eligible for the auction.

At this moment, the way Xu Maosheng looked at Ye Xuan changed.

The construction of a canal terminal has not yet started, but only a proposal has been proposed, and it has already shown its terrifying ability to steal money.

Xu Maosheng carefully recalled every decree announced by Ye Xuan today, and found that each decree has its own unique function.

Exemption from farmland taxes attracts ordinary people.

Kunpeng Academy announced the promotion of alchemy to the Wuzong level, and recruited students from all over the continent to attract alchemists and warriors.

Finally, there is the canal wharf plan, which directly attracts all the big families of Da Zhou.

This wave is the rhythm of pushing Floating Cloud City directly to the throne of Xiongcheng.
