Chapter 337 The most economical management method(2/2)
After a moment of pause, the old city lord said again: "I also know some hidden settlements nearby. I sent all the monks out, and the lack of women should be supplemented from the newly searched immigrants.
In addition, the reward given by the master is also very high, with 1,500 low-grade spirit stones, which is enough for those mortals to take a teleportation array and venture to the territory where the Golden Gate belongs, and then buy women from near the Golden Gate to return here."
The old city lord gritted his teeth and said, "I only need one-third of the spirit stones that the city lord subsidizes me. The rest will be given to each adult strong man 1,000 low-grade spirit stones, and let them go to the Golden Gate themselves to find a way to buy women of childbearing age from the Golden Gate realm - if they want to marry their own wives, then they will find a way by themselves. I will provide them with funds. What else are they not happy about?"
But the old city lord immediately shook his head again: "No, give them a thousand low-grade spirit stones. What should they do if they take the spirit stones and run away? What should they do if they are snatched away?
The people are dull and have no long-term vision. If someone is instigated to me, I feel that there are so many spirit stones and it is unsafe to stay in the forest of monsters. Maybe they will bring these spiritual stones to settle down and buy a property at the Golden Gate. In this way, we have lost the spirit stones but got nothing."
"Well, then give them fifty low-grade spirit stones. Fifty low-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a woman of childbearing age. I remember that five gold coins can buy a young girl... Tell those people that once they bring their wives and return to Jieyang City, I will subsidize the 950 low-grade spirit stones for the family..."
After the old city lord nodded, the migration operation began. Fortunately, the road had been built to Jieyang City. After Yun Duo sent a message, the replaced monks set off quickly and arrived at Jieyang City in less than half a day. Then, the road construction monks who had been busy in the wild for a month began to return and took away the first batch of immigrants in Jieyang City.
Subsequently, local wealthy families began to drive their own spirit stone car to Moyunling, while immigrants who were not very wealthy would walk on their shoulders onto the viaduct and walk towards Lan Yucheng.
Fortunately, there were constant vehicles on the bridge at this time, so they didn’t need to worry about the dangers on the road. This experience of hiking through the overpass also made them understand the safety of the overpass. So...
Yunduo stayed in Jieyin City for a few days, sent away several groups of immigrants, and issued a task to develop a demon pill powered vehicle to Moyunling, and then went to Jieyin Mansion.
During this period, Grandpa Yun, who still lives in Jieyang City, heard that a monk came from Moyun Ridge, wanted to get close to these monks and inquire about Yunduo. Unfortunately, he and Yunduo are now from the two worlds of Xianyi.
When the monks from Yuanluo Valley came to Jieyang City, they did not avoid their identity. Grandpa Yun knew that these people came from Yunduo's sect, but except for the previous Bi Li, there would not be any monk talking about the secrets within the sect in front of Grandpa Yun, a mortal.
Therefore, Grandpa Yun still doesn't know that the city lord Qingyun of Moyunling is Yunduo, who was originally from his family... Of course, because Bi Li was worried, Grandpa Yun knew that Yunduo's Taoist name was Qingqi, but there were too many people in this world with the same name and surname, such as Ergouzi, and there were more than a dozen people in the town. Grandpa Yun was not sure that Qingyun was the other Qingyun.
Besides, when most monks talk about Yunduo, who would directly call Yunduo "Qingli Zhenren"? They mostly call Yunduo the Master, the Young Master, or simply call him Master, Uncle Master, etc. Moreover, the monks call each other, and they only talk about it when they chat with each other. Grandpa Yun is a mortal, a monk chatting and chatting, how could he get close to him?
Therefore, Grandpa Yun only knows that Yun Duo is also one of the participating team members, and as for whether Yun Duo is still alive, he is completely unaware of it.
The ignorant Grandpa Yun still didn't know Yun Duo's existence until Yun Duo left Jieyang City. However, he did not give up every time he saw someone coming from Moyunling, he would come forward to chat with him and ask if the other party knew a monk named "Qingqi". But because Grandpa Yun could not read, he only knew the pronunciation of the two words "Qingqi".
These things are unclear. Grandpa Yun does not understand the level of the monks. He even does not know the difference between the original guardian Bifeng and Yunduo in Jieyang City. So, how could the monks patiently listen to the nagging of an old mortal man?...
Ten days later, the viaduct was built to Jieyin Prefecture.
After the catastrophe, the city of Jieyinfu almost maintained its original appearance, because there was a villa of the Xuantianmen in the city. Therefore, the monks who contracted the management of Jieyinfu after the catastrophe were basically the foundation-building monks of the Xuantianmen. Because of the support of the villa, many high-level monks were attracted to join forces. If there were no Yunduan to build Lanyu City, this place could even become the central city for monks to move after the catastrophe.
Unfortunately, Lan Yucheng has been built.
Nowadays, in addition to the five old foundation-building monks from the Xuantian Sect, there are three foundation-building monks who have joined other sects, as well as more than 30 Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Centre.
Everyone is acquaintance. The Lord of Jieyin Mansion complained when he saw Yun Duo's face. This old foundation-building monk had no scruples when he spoke because his cultivation level was similar to Yun Duo.
"Shaogu Master, Moyun Ridge is too far away in Jieyin Mansion. Although there are eight foundation-building cultivators here, their defense power is weak in the end. After the disaster, we encountered two monsters attacking the city, losing nearly ten thousand people. Two Qi Refining cultivators fell, and one foundation-building cultivator was seriously injured. His cultivation has not yet recovered.
Master Shao Gu, since your teleportation array can teleport mortals, I don’t know if it can be modified to allow it to teleport monks. If it can teleport monks, it would be even better. Once there is a critical situation here, we can ask you for help immediately... Alas, this situation now makes people feel very frightened, and we feel completely isolated and helpless."
Yun Duo waited for the screen to retreat and confessed to the other party: "You are all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I believe you have your own relatives and friends in Moyunling. You know the news you should know - we are indeed isolated and helpless.
The sky has risen, and we have tried it with all kinds of techniques. The monks on both sides of the north and south cannot pass through the sky. Therefore, before the sky is eliminated, we have fallen into this abandoned land."
The city lord nodded and said frankly: "I followed Mr. Zhou Rong at the beginning, and later built a foundation in Moyunling, so I came to contract the city management of Jieyin Mansion. Mr. Zhou Rong had already told me the situation. He said... The city lord asked all monks to change their mindset, calm down, and manage Moyunling well."
Yunduo nodded: "That's right. Next we will manage Moyunling well. For this, I will announce two orders..."
Jieyinfu has no major objection to immigration to Moyunling. As for tax management matters... Although the monks have contracted urban management here, it is said that Yunduo has no right to interfere with other people's specific strategies, Yunduo's proposal is really operational.
"This method... we have 135 settlements here, each settlement has at least five officials, and there are more than 300 officials and 500 servants in the city. The taxation every year requires a lot of manpower. The officials have to get it, and the money is not enough for them to be greedy. In the end, we cannot collect money, and the people are still full of grievances.
If this method is implemented…”
"In addition to eating, ordinary people also need clothes, salt, condiments, pots, pans and other daily necessities... In short, ordinary people cannot not buy things or sell food. As long as they trade, we can collect taxes. And the tax collection only requires a municipal official or taxpayer, and can be done by sitting in the market."
"But... there are more than a hundred settlements here, and it is not realistic to let the people there go to the city and buy and sell things in the fixed market in the city."
"The same method is similar to the tax-bearing method - setting up tax-setting shops. We can allow people with our permission to open shops, and each settlement can open shops from two to three tax-bearing people. These licensed tax-bearing people must promise to pay us a fixed tax amount every year, and then we will issue a licensed commercial license.
Business is not allowed without a license. In this way, those who have obtained a license will automatically help you supervise the free trading behavior around the shop. Of course, you probably don’t want to interfere with small transactions that they don’t want to interfere with…”
The biggest disadvantage of Jieyinfu is that it is too far away from Lanyu City. If something happens, it will be completely isolated and helpless. Jieyinfu requires the opening of a teleportation array, which can also be achieved.
Originally, the teleportation array could not be used in the abandoned forest. On the one hand, it was because of the fear that monsters would use the teleportation array to raid human cities. On the other hand, it might be that the free space cracks near Akutagawa were caused by the teleportation cracks, which would tear the teleporter apart during the teleportation. And the latter, Yun Duo had this guess after going to Akutagawa.
As the curtain rises today, I was worried that monsters would attack the inland, but this possibility no longer exists. As long as the free space crack problem does not cross Akutagawa during the teleportation process, there is probably no problem - this point, the teleportation array has proved its safety to this point.
The teleportation array made by Yunduo actually borrows the name "mail transmission array". In fact, the so-called mail transmission array is very different from the real conventional teleportation array.
Relatively speaking, the mail delivery array is more complicated, because Yunduo has added many protection measures to the mail delivery array - mortals' bodies are relatively fragile. During the transmission process, in order to prevent the tearing force of the space from tearing them apart, more protection must be added.
This kind of protection will instead be transformed into a hidden murderous intent when the monks ride in the mail delivery array. If the spiritual energy on the object being transmitted exceeds the standard, it will use the power of space pulling during the transmission process to detonate the dantian and sea of consciousness on the monks' body.
In addition, the "mail delivery array" in the Moyunling area cannot achieve seamless connection with the outside world's post delivery array, which means that they are local area networks of the Monster Forest, not wide area networks. One-to-one links are even required during the transmission process, such as the Shangying Town Spirit Stone Mine Transmission Array needed by Lan Feng.
Jieyinfu needs a conventional teleportation array. In this way, the project volume is very large and the materials required are also expensive. That is, super sects like Xuantianmen can afford it. And Yuanluo Valley hosted by Yunduo... Well, it is mainly because Yunduo has obtained a lot of materials to build teleportation arrays in Akutagawa, so that he can be so rich and powerful.
Of course, even if there is no shortage of materials, it took a long time to build this teleportation array. Fortunately, the battle in Lan Yucheng has now entered a confrontation state, and Yun Duo is not in a hurry to go back, so everyone is stationed in Jieyin Mansion.
Since then, the construction of roads has not stopped. From Jieyinfu as the center, the road network needs to radiate to surrounding towns, and these refined roads require water grinding.
Fortunately, the bridge deck of rural roads does not need to be so wide or so strong. As long as this kind of road can protect the safety of the travel of ordinary people, it can meet the needs of mortals. In this way, a small-scale road construction team only has five or six monks, and the road construction time is not high. It is sent out as a reward task for the sect, and many monks are willing to do things.
For earth-type monks, the road building work can not only exercise the proficiency of spells, but also exercise the ability to recover spiritual energy. The reward is also not low, and one month is enough to make a year's spending. Therefore, Yunduo made plans and the elevated road network continued to extend to the surroundings.
That's right, it is an elevated road network. Elevated roads do not occupy land resources, and because they are in mid-air, the monsters walking on the ground cannot be attacked, so they are very popular among mortals. For monks, the construction of this elevated road surface is nothing more than a little more spiritual energy and the cost is not much increased. Therefore, Yunduo's road network is fully equipped with elevated settings.
The construction of the road network is accompanied by institutional reform, and each upper and lower approach bridge entrance spontaneously forms a street market. The guards stationed at the approach bridge entrance also undertake tax tasks. The bonded merchants pay an extra salary for this, but because they are part-time tax supervision, the bonded merchants don’t pay much.
However, in this way, Yunduo's administrative department did not need to send yamen runners to collect taxes from door to door, and the income of the guards at the entrance of the bridge increased, making the guards at the entrance of the bridge one of the most popular jobs among mortals. However, monks did not like to do mundane things, so monks gradually evacuated from this job.
In the end, in all cities under Moyunling, the things of mortals were borne by mortals, and monks only assumed the duties of protection, and therefore enjoyed the worship of mortals. The secular regime and monks began to separate...
Yunduo, who was in Jieyin Prefecture, issued one order after another. Since then, although the war in the Moyunling area has continued and lasted for more than ten years, various new regulations have begun to be implemented gradually, and the economy has recovered rapidly after the war and has become active... Of course, this has happened many years later.
*******
The streets of the past, the houses and the people who lived in the city of Jieyinfu were also the citizens of the past.
Relatively speaking, Jieyinfu is the area with the least war losses among the cities on the north bank. At the beginning, after receiving the news of the monks' large-scale evacuation, the citizens had not had time to organize and prepare to escape, Yunduo had already sent monks to take over the city. Therefore, the indigenous people in the city were preserved intact.
However, now it is different from the past. In the past, Jieyinfu continued to transport massive amounts of materials to Fenglingdu, and these resources were continuously transported to the south bank and to the entire world of cultivation. Now, the shops in the city can only sell to the remaining monks in the forest of monsters, and the sales channels were greatly reduced, and the prosperity of the past was no longer there.
Yun Duo walked into a shop along the sparse flow of people.
He had been to this store before. He had sold the talismans he had printed for the first time to this store. At that time, several sisters were still by their side, but now everyone has gone their separate ways.
People will eventually grow up, and perhaps this separation is the price of growth.
The owner of the store is still the middle-aged monk from the past, but the boss no longer knows Yun Duo in front of him - this is understandable. Yun Duo at that time was a mortal child, and now he is a young monk. Yun Duo when he was a child is too far from Yun Duo now.
He picked up a few talismans and Yun Duo asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, what is the best talisman sold in the store now?"
Although the shopkeeper did not recognize Yun Duo, he also felt that Yun Duo was extraordinary - although the cultivators in the city had high and low cultivation, everyone had some panic on their faces of "I don't know what tomorrow will be". Only Yun Duo's expression was peaceful and his expression was not worried about his future situation.
The shopkeeper's respectful answer: "Master, the best thing in the store is the talisman. A low-grade spirit stone can be sold for 12 pieces, but this is our sales price. If the master has a talisman, the store will be willing to accept it... Alas, now the store can only do some small profit business, so the purchase starts from twenty pieces of talismans, with one low-grade spirit stone for every twenty pieces."
Yun Duo was surprised: "So cheap?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the master doesn't know that the shop can be maintained now, so it depends on mortals to buy more. The mortals and vajra talismans that mortals are the most popular among them.
The amulet is mainly used to fix monsters, and the Vajra Talisman is used to protect itself. As for the monsters that are fixed on their bodies, hehe, even if it is a mortal, who doesn’t have a few spirit stone wooden warehouses in his hands now?
As for the cheapness of these talismans, haha, the master should also know that the method of manufacturing talismans has been innovated. My guardians from Jieyin Mansion come from Moyun Ridge, and the group of monks from Xuantianmen Yuanluo Valley. As for the monks from Yuanluo Valley...
Haha, Master is also a monk, and you should know that they had implemented a new process more than ten years ago, which can use objects to make talismans in large quantities.
Hehe, Yuanluogu originally tried every means to keep their utensils confidential, but when is it now? Yuanluogu has cultivated so many monks, and the method of printing talismans is not a clever art of refining weapons. So, now, who doesn’t carry a few magical instruments that can print talismans on monks?
With more such magic weapons and more people doing this job, the price of talismans naturally dropped sharply. In addition, we have cut off contact with Nan'an and cannot sell anything, so the talismans here naturally cannot sell at any price.
Alas, now, the price of talismans is a little higher than that of talisman paper, so that mortals can afford it. Alas, what kind of world is it?"
Yun Duo also sighed softly, and a shout came from his ear: "Shopkeeper, there are a thousand intermediate-level explosive flame talismans..."
The shopkeeper chuckled and shook his head, and sneered at Yun Duo: "Look, now, even the mid-level explosive flame talisman is purchased thousands of times. How did this happen in the past?"
The shopkeeper walked towards the new customer and said to himself: "...Put it over. A fourth-grade talisman maker can draw three or four intermediate-level talismans in a day, which is already the limit. At that time, if you want to buy a thousand, you have to go to the auction house or the huge shop on the south bank.
Nowadays, except for the fact that the top-grade talisman cannot be made on a large scale and has to be drawn by hand, the middle-grade talisman is like a cabbage, which is really cheap and heartbreaking."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and nodded at Yunduo and began to greet the new customer. Yunduo also slowly turned around and nodded slightly to the new customer who had just spoken. The latter suddenly saw Yunduo and was stunned. He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and actually forgot to return the gift. Yunduo didn't care and then stepped out of the store.
The monk Yunduo who came in just now met. He once met Yunduo on behalf of Qingguo Zhenren from the rebellious Sect of Xuantian Gate. The two sides later reached some secret deals.
Afterwards, no so-called "Demon Sect" monks wandered inside Moyun Ridge. This time, they came to Jieyin Mansion and found their existence in the city.
The monk from the Demon Sect obviously did not expect to meet Yun Duo on the street, so shortly after Yun Duo left, he hurried out of the store to chase after him. He turned a corner and found Yun Duo standing at the corner with his hands on his back, and there was no one in the street where Yun Duo was located.
The other party panicked, and his right hand subconsciously covered his waist, but Yun Duo waved his hand casually: "Don't be nervous, this is my city, how could I rob in this city?"
The other party rolled his eyes quietly: Ahhh, it was because it was your territory that I was panicked. Do monks go to rob others? Do they like this "no one to see people on the left and right, no blood on the left and right" environment? If they don't rob in their own territory, do they have to go to other people's territory before they rob? They are so powerful that they rob others?
Yunduo saw the other party's nervousness and chuckled: "We are indeed not from the same channel. What I just said was a joke. Don't worry, I need a reputable environment, and commodity circulation needs to be safe, so I must maintain stability and fairness..."
Yun Duo stopped the topic in a daze. He hooked at the other party and signaled to follow him.
Chapter completed!
