Chapter 510 Beautiful City

Sitting in the luxurious hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Ula City, Li Sinan quietly listened to Bill's report on the situation in the entire Ula Province to himself. It was not much different from what he knew, but it was more detailed.

There are thirteen small towns under the entire Ula Province. Although it is a small town, Li Sinan knows that this town is equivalent to a province on the earth, and the land is not ordinary.Among the people who greeted him with Bill today were the mayors of these thirteen towns. After all, they will be his subordinates in the future, so Bill called them over after Li Sinan left, and waited together. With Li Sinan back.

Ula Province has a total population of about 200 million, of which Ula City has 20 people, and the rest are distributed throughout the province. With backward technology, agriculture is still the mainstay here. Of course, the output of planting is not high, but If you want it, it is enough to feed these people, and you will even send some of them to other provinces every year.

After hearing the whole report of Ula, Li Sinan had a better understanding of the whole Ula province, and asked Bill about the situation of Keshir province in detail. Fortunately, Bill also knew that Li Sinan would definitely ask himself when he came back. He had already made sufficient preparations, and also reported the situation of Keshir province to Li Sinan.

After about an hour or so, Li Sinan had fully understood everything about these two provinces, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Bill, the province of Keshir is basically in a state of desolation, especially the city of Keshir. The city has been scrapped, and instead of repairing it, it is better to build a new city, so that you can move a part of the population of the Ula province to it, and in addition, select some qualified ones from one of today’s mayors and let him go there to develop it. The province and the Ula province can be merged into one province, although the area is larger, but I believe Bill you can still manage it, don't let me down."

Hearing Li Sinan's words, Bill, who was still a little worried, was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Duke, for your trust in my subordinates. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of all these matters."

Li Sinan nodded slightly, and said: "Get up, since the two provinces are merged together, I think we should build a new city, on both sides of the Wula River, this new city does not need a city wall , but strictly speaking, it is divided into the inner city and the outer city. Build a Duke’s Mansion there for me. As for the scale, you can decide. I won’t be able to stay here for a long time in the future. , the two provinces will be renamed Yanli Province in the future, and I plan to name the newly built city Yanli City, how many gold coins are there in the two provinces combined?"

The more Bill heard, the more excited he became. Unexpectedly, Li Sinan was ready to do a big job just after obtaining the fiefdoms of two provinces. He was transferring people and building a new capital city. However, the current financial revenue of the two provinces is not as good as it is. The financial revenue of the Ula Province is so real that it is impossible to support it and build a new city. He said: "Returning to the Duke, the tax revenue of the Ula Province is only between 320 million and 400 million gold coins a year. Last year's tax revenue It has been handed over to the treasury, and this year's tax has collected about 70 gold coins."

Li Sinan shook his head helplessly, thinking that this is really a poor place. Grandma’s tax is only a few gold coins a year. It seems that the economy must be vigorously developed, or else he will drink the northwest wind in the future. As for Investing here, Li Sinan naturally wants to invest, but Li Sinan really doesn't intend to pay the money himself. He plans to go to the Beastman Empire in two days. This time, you have to take it if you take it, and you have to take it if you don’t take it. He said: "Then you should first handle the matter that I let you immigrate. Also, in the future, while developing agriculture, we must also vigorously develop commerce. The commerce here It's really too bad. I want you to build the new Yanli City to be comparable to the Blue Night City within ten years. You must also have all the necessary facilities and institutions, but you can't build it in the existing city. Increase taxes on top of that, you know?"

Bill's face was bitterer than eating bitter gourd, and he said: "Master Duke, how is this possible? The subordinates are really helpless. How can it develop in ten years compared to Blue Night City? Even if it takes a hundred years It is also very difficult, our tax revenue is simply impossible to support us to build a huge city in such a short period of time."

Li Sinan smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, did I tell you to use all of your taxes? I will go to the Beastman Empire in a few days and ask them to pay us war compensation. Grandma's, they destroyed all my homes. , can’t just let them be so cheap, if they rob me, they will also rob me of the money for the new city.”

Hearing Li Sinan's words, Bill felt relieved, and at the same time, he became even more excited. His master is so powerful that he dared to go to the Beastman Empire to rob money. If it's an ordinary person, he really doesn't have the courage, of course. It also doesn't have that strength.Bill happily agreed, and said: "So, don't worry, my lord duke, I will definitely take care of all other things, and your majesty has also said that these two provinces will no longer have to surrender to the Blue Night Empire. Taxation, so we still have a lot of funds to develop the economy, but I don’t know how many gold coins the Duke intends to save every year for future work?”

Li Sinan said: "I won't take any money within ten years, so you can feel free to do what I told you. Also, if I find out that someone has taken money that shouldn't be taken, don't blame me for treating him badly." You're welcome." Li Sinan was talking, and suddenly thought that after these people get back the money by themselves, one by one, all the embezzled and greasy ones will fall into their private pockets, that would be bad. So give them a word of warning.

Bill suddenly said: "Don't worry, my lord, everything we have is given by you. Your majesty has rewarded us to you a long time ago. As your subordinates, we are too happy. How could we do something wrong to your lord?" bad thing."

Li Sinan nodded slightly, but he didn't agree with him in his heart. After all, people have selfish desires, and even slaves are no exception, let alone these individuals. Thinking about their own country, although the superiors are advocating integrity every day, every year Isn't there still so many people who benefit from corruption? That's why Li Sinan doesn't have too much hope for these officials from other worlds. He just hopes that they won't be too greedy and don't delay the confession. Well, as long as being greedy doesn't cause too much harm to me, I can still bear it. After all, it is really not easy for them to manage this huge fiefdom for themselves. If they eat meat by themselves, they should also drink some soup ah.

Thinking of this, Li Sinan said: "As long as everyone does their best for me, I, Li Sinan, will naturally not treat you badly, but the next ten years will be the period for laying the foundation of the beautiful province, so everyone's hard work is only temporary. Yes, I promise everyone that after ten years, everyone's salary will be doubled or tripled at least, starting today, Bill will be doubled first, and the others will be discussed after I observe and observe."

This time everyone started to be pleasantly surprised, and bowed down to Li Sinan in unison to thank them. They really did not expect that Li Sinan would give them such great hope, especially Bill. Although he said that he would manage two provinces in the future, he also His salary has also doubled. In the past, he could get 20 gold coins every year, but in the future, it would mean that he would have 20 gold coins every year. This was unimaginable for him before.Compared with 30.00 gold coins, Li Sinan's heavy responsibility to him is what makes him more happy. After all, the area of ​​the two provinces will be managed by him in the future, and Li Sinan is not here usually, so he can almost be said to be There are more than ten thousand people under one person, especially since this is Li Sinan's private fiefdom, even Woodrow will not be able to control it here in the future, all policies are formulated by Li Sinan himself, except that this is the territory of the Blue Night Empire, everything else The policies of the Blue Night Empire can not be implemented here, this is the benefit of the private fief, and Li Sinan's fief is different from the other princes, they need to pay [-]% tax to the empire, but Li Sinan's is Not pay a penny.

After the meeting, Li Sinan, Bill and a group of big and small leaders in charge of various political affairs rushed to the bank of the Wula River the next day.Although the battle is over, the bridge made by the earth magicians is still there, but the bridge at this time is indeed a bit dangerous, and there is no way. It was just to cross the Wula River. I didn't even think about building a long-lasting bridge here. As for the original bridge, it wasn't that it didn't exist, but was destroyed by the orc army.

The selection of the new city is very important. Li Sinan has long been optimistic about this place in the sky. Although he told Bill and others yesterday, he did not point it out to them. If he turns around and leaves by himself, they built the wrong place. Then I will complain, so Li Sinan directly brought them over today to show them, and asked them to mark out all the places.

The new Yanli City will be a super-large city across the Wula River. The area defined by Li Sinan is ten kilometers long from east to west and fifteen kilometers wide from north to south, which means that the south bank of the Wula River is ten kilometers and the north bank is ten kilometers. After seeing Li Sinan's plan, Bill was both happy and anxious. Of course, he was happy because he had the opportunity to witness the birth of this mega city. What was anxious was that he didn't know if Li Sinan could get so much money. Even if there is money, how should the city be built, at least in terms of manpower, it needs a huge amount.
