Gou adds some practice in cyberpunk

Chapter 41 Chapter 40: Ratman Origin and Gang Governance

In the virtual world, in a magnificent lobby, many lifelike projections are sitting on their seats.

The highest federal authority is the Upper Council, which has [-] seats in total, and a proposal needs to be approved by more than two-thirds of the votes of the members before it can be passed.

After Wen Wen inherited the chaebol, he became a member of parliament through "election" logically. Of course, the seat of a member of parliament is not hereditary.

"First issue."

"Gentlemen, there are many bankrupt citizens in the city, without clothes and food, wandering on the streets. We should give them a better future and let them live!"

[Proposal [-]: Increase corporate income tax, establish a complete social welfare system, and guarantee the minimum standard of living of bankrupt citizens. 】

The annual tax revenue of the Federation is limited, and every additional expenditure that exceeds the budget requires additional taxation.

[Proposal [-]: Designate a special area in the city, accommodate them, allocate funds, and create a self-sufficient industrial chain for them. 】

The so-called tax increase in Proposal [-], in the end, the money is actually shared equally by the big chaebols, after all, all the group industries are in their hands.

As for Proposal [-], although money is also required, it is a one-time investment in the early stage. After the industrial chain is completed, there is no need to add additional funds in the future.

Unlike the establishment of a social welfare system, an additional social welfare tax must be paid every year, which is tantamount to cutting flesh on the chaebol.

It is not easy for the company to make a little profit every year.

"Five councilors agree with proposal one, and twelve councilors agree with proposal two. Councilor Wen Wen, please make your choice." The votes were all by name, and the chairman of the council began to urge Wen Wen.

Wen Wen opened the plan for Proposal [-]. It turns out that Proposal [-] intends to place all bankrupts in the outermost ring of the city and establish a "medicine man" poverty alleviation industrial chain.

The brain acts as computing power in the virtual world, sells the body for medical experiments, regularly donates blood and takes medicine every week, implants genes of other species for mutation testing...

And the rewards are food, internet, and rich entertainment facilities of Chaomeng...

Is this also a so-called resettlement measure?
Wouldn't it be faster to die as a medicine man?This is using their lives to extract surplus value.

Wen Wen hesitated. His vote was very important. If he voted for Plan One, then Plan One would have six votes, accounting for one-third of the votes.

Then Plan [-] has only two-thirds of the votes, not more than two-thirds. If Plan [-] cannot be passed, the proposal will be invalidated and will be shelved. It needs to be discussed and voted again next time.

If Wen Wen votes for Plan [-], then Plan [-] has [-] votes and can be passed directly.

The proposals passed in the Upper Council generally have legal effect and can be enforced in the subordinate cities of the six chaebols.

"Wen Wen, haven't you coveted my wife and daughter for a long time? As long as you agree to Proposal [-], tonight..." A member of Adam Biology, secretly communicated with him.

Wen Wen's heart is moved. He has long coveted A's wife and daughter, but the other party has the same status as him, and suffers from the lack of a chance to make a move.

Now, A intends to deliver the goods to the door, such a good opportunity...

Wen Wen struggles internally. Establishing a complete welfare system is a good thing for low-level citizens, but it is a bad thing for chaebols because they have to pay a lot of taxes every year.

As for the second proposal, there is nothing harmful to him, since he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish and can kiss Fangze without harming his own interests.

However, as a member of the House of Lords, I should consider the general citizens of the Federation, instead of abusing power and using public equipment for private use.

Wen Wen shook his head, decided to follow his heart and choose proposal one.

"For the first issue, there are a total of six votes for the proposal, and twelve votes for the second proposal. None of them passed. We will discuss it next time." The chairman of the council announced the conclusion.

"Discuss the second item."

"Cities now spend a huge amount of urban management expenses every year, and there are many dilapidated urban villages left over from the old days, which affect the appearance of the city; street gangs are rampant, and the security effect is not satisfactory. We need to solve these problems urgently."

[Proposal [-]: Increase urban construction management tax, expand the number of urban management and security personnel, crack down on prostitution and crime, and consolidate public order; demolish urban villages, and uniformly set up low-rent housing. 】

[Proposal [-]: Demolish the village in the city and build a rented apartment.Streamlining urban management and guards, delegating public security management power to street gangs, and cooperating with gangs to maintain order. 】

Wen Wen carefully checked the specific proposals.

The bulk of urban management expenses each year is actually more than the salaries and equipment of urban management guards.In order to ensure law and order, every city has a large number of urban management guards.

After all, in the cyber age, everyone has guns or prosthetic bodies, and the fighting power of street gangs cannot be underestimated. When you are an urban management, you need to put your head on your belt.

If the salary is not high and the benefits are not good, who is willing to do it?
And since you are an urban management officer, at least you must be able to beat gangsters, right?Advanced firearms, high-end prosthetic bodies... Another big expense in the purchase of anti-riot equipment.

Fortunately, in the cyber age, there is no concept of pensions. Everyone is an orphan without father, mother, wife and children. Everyone is dead, so what do you need money for?
The villages in the city are old buildings left over a hundred years ago, most of which have only [-] to [-] floors, and the facilities are aging.

The Tianyan system is not connected to the village in the city, and there are a lot of people in it, and the rent is extremely cheap, only a few hundred federal coins a month.

If Proposal [-] is chosen, a large sum of money needs to be continuously invested, and the annual city management costs will even continue to increase.

Let’s look at Proposal [-] again, to demolish the villages in the city and set up rent-to-own apartments.

The rent of this unified rental apartment is at least 1000 federal dollars a month depending on the location, and most of them are 1500-5000 federal dollars. Anyway, it is much more expensive than the low-rent housing that only costs a few hundred federal dollars a month in plan one.

Moreover, this unified rental apartment is a bidding model.The real estate company bids and finances the demolition of urban villages and the construction of condominiums, without the federal government paying a penny.

On the contrary, when each apartment is rented out, the government can still have a part of the income.

On the other hand, urban management and guards are streamlined, and public security management power is delegated to street gangs, who cooperate with gangs to maintain order.

It is to allow street gangs to maintain the order of the community streets on various sites, and they are allowed to charge tenants protection fees within the specified range, but they are also responsible for their respective sites, similar to the contract system.

Depending on how well the security is maintained every month, the federation will reward the gang with security points, which can be accumulated and can be exchanged for some strategic materials such as warrior prosthetic bodies, artificial spiritual roots, and genetic medicines.

The assessment of law and order is based on the local crime rate and the death rate of citizens.

The death rate of street gang members is not among them. The Federation encourages gangs to compete with each other.

If the law and order is poor to a certain extent, it will be managed by a new gang, and the core management personnel such as the gang leader of the original gang will need to accept legal trials.

In this way, the federal government can abolish 80% of the urban management and security personnel, saving a large amount of urban management costs to strengthen the defense and security of the inner city.

And the law and order in the outer city will not be too bad under the governance of various local snake gangs.

Increase income and reduce expenditure is nothing more than this. Plan [-] is perfect. Both the Federation and street gangs will benefit, and the city's law and order can also be greatly improved.

Only a world where tenants get hurt, monthly rent increases, and an extra protection fee.

ps1: In the simulation of the Hall of Questioning Heart, Wen Wen's original memory from the outside world is blocked, and all the memories are temporarily instilled in the virtual world, so the decisions made will follow the original heart, and the instilled memories are different in each level.

Therefore, Wen Wen only loves one person in the beauty pass, and wants to be Cao's thief in the power pass.

This is something that the author did not explain clearly in the previous two chapters, hereby declare, thank you everyone! (*￣3)(ε￣*)
ps2: This kind of dungeon, including the previous game dungeon, is not a word count, but serves to bury the foreshadowing and explain the world view.

For example, the first topic is about the origin of the Rat People, and why there is such a place as the 9th Ring Road in the outer city.Because Adam Bio needs a lot of human body experiments to perfect the cultivation system of genetic warriors, in order to pass this proposal, Adam Bio also sold a lot of benefits to other chaebols.

The second topic is to supplement the details of the worldview such as the apartment where Wenwen lived, the gang protection fee, etc.

　Originally, I wanted to finish this dungeon of the Hall of Asking Heart in two chapters, but it turned out that the number of words was too much, because some internal logic needs to be explained carefully.ying ying ~
