The super lord of the island

Chapter 195 194. Fiscal Expenditure and Income Distribution
The emergence of stratum wells solved the water problem of new villages and improved production efficiency.

Jialan continued to look down.

[Bell Tower: a 20-meter-high tower-style stone building with a complex gear structure on the top, powered by magic crystals, the driving gear drives a huge pointer to move and display the time;

Every hour, the clock tower will ring a bell that spreads throughout the town, and the number of times the bell rings represents the time (the construction time is five days)]

A clock tower that can indicate the time is a must-have building in a large town. It has no practical effect, but it can always remind residents of the passage of time.

The bell tower opened from the treasure chest is a typical Gothic style, with a tall square spire, a white exterior wall, and murals and badges representing the rights of the nobility are displayed on the top of the tower.

Below the top of the tower is a wide hall similar to a public building, which can be transformed into other public service functions.

Such a building is naturally best placed in the second ring area with a larger area.

Jialan dragged the bell tower model and sat side by side with the existing city hall.

After placing the clock tower, there is also a garden building in the backpack.

[Open garden: covers an area of ​​[-] square meters. Evergreen shrubs and various flowers are planted in the garden. After careful pruning, residents can watch and relax (construction time is five days)]

The function of the garden is similar to that of the residents' activity square. It can be regarded as a public leisure and entertainment area in cities and towns. Fragrant flowers can make people feel happy and improve residents' sense of happiness.

As a bronze treasure chest, it is already very profitable to be able to open functional town buildings such as clock towers and gardens.

After finishing all the building rewards, Jialan waved away the [-]D view, leaving behind the flat screen.

After unlocking the wonder card slot last time, his total assets were only 11 magic shells. Fortunately, he sold a batch of magic beast materials from the Thunder Lake resource area in time, earning 450 magic shells.

Originally, Jialan wanted to put all the money into the system krypton gold, but yesterday Mag came to him and complained that the financial funds were not enough.

After careful questioning, Jialan learned how much the expenses of Aurora Town were.

First, salary.

The cost of salary is very high, because all the residents of Aurora Town are actually working for him, turning the lord into a boss.

At the beginning, he bought slaves and came back to work for him. He just had to take care of food and housing without paying a salary. Later, as time went by, the number of slaves increased, and soldiers were needed to maintain law and order.

Therefore, he selected the best to release a small number of slaves from slavery and restore their status as free citizens, and then hired them to join the Corps and continue to contribute to the territory.

It was also from this time that the salary began.

At the beginning, there were not many people receiving salaries, and the salaries were also low, which was more reflected in the form.

Later, due to the high cost of buying slaves and the long cycle and slow growth, the slave trade was abandoned and the poor were attracted from Gemu Island to live here.

Although the poor are poor, they are free citizens and cannot be squeezed or forced to work for no reason, so Jialan gave them free housing and food, and upgraded the salary system.

The original slaves were gradually converted into official residents and received salaries.

According to Mag's statistics, the current number of residents is 2865, and the vast majority of residents receive salary grades ranging from 3 to 5, with 10 to 20 silver shells per month.

According to the statistics of the entire Aurora Town, the monthly salary expenditure of the Ministry of Finance is about 420 gold.

And as long as immigration policy continues, that spending will continue to rise.

Second, the expenditure on purchasing materials.

Wuguang Island is rich in resources. Under the management of Jialan, various industries such as agriculture, forestry and sideline fishing are thriving. The resource areas such as wheat fields, vegetable fields, and fishing grounds can produce enough food for all the citizens.

But condiments such as salt, spices, and cooking oil need to be purchased with money. In addition, there are cloth, armaments, tools, and castle supplies.

Generally speaking, the city hall first issues a material procurement list, and then Hasson centralizes the procurement to keep costs down.

This type of expenditure is highly volatile, and you may not spend much money in the previous month, but when your reserves bottom out this month, you will have to bleed a lot.

Such expenditures averaged between 300 and 500 gold per month.

To sum up, the total municipal expenditure of Aurora Town is 800-1000 gold per month.

For other barons, this may be an astronomical figure, and within a few months, they will go bankrupt completely, lose their titles, and become down-and-out nobles.

But for Jialan, this extremely fast-growing business model is exactly what he needs.

Furthermore, apart from expenses, Aurora Town also has income.

The management fee for the exclusive management right of the Trading Square and the travel outsourcing authorization is [-] gold per year, adding up to [-] gold.

The tourism department managed by Feimanman can earn thousands of gold shells from those rich people every month, which is just enough to fill the financial gap. Unfortunately, due to external environmental factors, the performance has declined sharply recently, and it has almost stagnated.

Brewers and taverns are the direction of making money in the future, but these two incomes belong to Jialan and do not enter the city hall.

This directly leads to financial shortage.

In order to maintain the daily operation of Aurora Town, Jialan had to take out 50 magic shells from his small treasury, which is converted into five thousand gold, and allocated them to Mag for financial expenditure.

As for the currency exchange, it is very simple. Mag can find Hasson with the magic shell and it can be solved.

Considering that the town will spend more and more, and the recovery of tourism is nowhere in sight, he handed over 50% of the profits of the trading house and the income of the tavern to the city hall.

The 50% operating profit of Fangshi was the agreement he had negotiated with Hasen.

Hasen has the exclusive right to operate the exchange market, but has to pay a management fee once a year and pay 50% of the profits.

Now Jialan transfers this part of the profits to the city hall, which is equivalent to the money spent on residents' consumption and municipal procurement, and part of it will flow back to the city hall.

When the number of residents increases and the consumption level increases, the tavern can return part of the salary from the residents.

All in all, under the new layout of Jialan, 50% of the profit of Fang City + all income of the tavern + tourism business income + two authorized management fees, these four incomes together solve the financial expenditure problem and ensure the smooth operation of Aurora Town.

On his own side, there are two major benefits of Warcraft materials and brewing workshops, which are barely enough for krypton gold.

Now the total asset amount displayed on the main interface of the system is 411 Mobei. If it was in the past, it would definitely be able to make a fortune, but now so much money is not enough to buy a seventh-level growth gift package.

Sad reminder.

Jialan rubbed her handsome face and greeted Irina who came downstairs.

Under his continuous and powerful nourishment, Irina gradually lost her childishness and became more hydrated and mature, revealing a different style in every move; in addition, after being promoted to a magician, the absorbed elemental energy will subtly improve her physical fitness, Only in this way can he bear the whip every day.

"Master! I seem to have upgraded!"

Once downstairs, Yi Lianna happily ran over, straddled Jialan's lap and said coquettishly.
