Chapter 1207, the reasons for the depression
At night, in the Qingluo Hall, due to the development of civilization in all realms, Luo Ji has been busy with various affairs, and his workload has also increased a lot.
So in the past few days, after nightfall, he often brought part of the report back to the palace for processing, and today was obviously no exception.
"Huh?"
Sitting at the desk in Qingluodian, Luo Ji accidentally turned over a certain report, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing Luo Ji's movement, Ye Qingxuan, who was leaning aside, couldn't help but asked curiously.
In response, Luo Ji's lips curled up slightly.
"It's a report from Sunset City."
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted. Obviously, she knew something about this matter.
In other words, that silly boy Teller is famous in a certain circle.
In the civilization of all realms, those who can hold the position of city lord are basically capable talents, but people like Teller are the first.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it had not been for the purpose of appeasing the Gray Elf clan and considering his ability to do things, the position of city lord would not have been occupied by Teller at all.
According to normal procedures, Teller would have to accumulate about ten years of experience before he could be qualified to sit in that position.
And the facts prove that it is indeed the case.
As for Sunset City and Teller, it doesn't mean that Luo Ji is targeting him.
From the beginning to the end, Luo Ji did only one thing, and that was to do nothing. He just did what he had to do. It was that simple.
After all, as the supreme ruler of the civilization of all worlds, Luo Ji is not bored to the point of being idle. There are many things that require him to be busy on weekdays.
Even if a report had not been delivered this time, Luo Ji, who was busy with government affairs, would have almost forgotten Sunset City.
To Luo Ji, the city was not important at all. What was important was the population of the elves.
Originally, even if he did nothing, driven by the general trend of civilization in all worlds, Sunset City should not be in such a depression.
The reason why this happened was that Teller's own lack of ability and experience actually played a large role.
As for the other part of the reason, Luo Ji had to ask Ye Qingxuan. After all, Ye Qingxuan was the professional in economic development and trade and was much more reliable than him.
In this regard, Ye Qingxuan said after thinking for a while...
At the beginning, the road in Sunset City had not been completed and transportation was inconvenient, which naturally played a big role.
But even so, according to the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, the market in Sunset City still attracted many businessmen to conduct market inspections.
As for why it has become such a depressed situation now.
That's naturally because Sunset City was defeated during the merchants' inspection.
As mentioned before, there are more than 200 cities in the entire civilization of Ten Thousand Realms, which means that most businessmen have to consider the issue of capital turnover and cost-effectiveness.
Maybe after opening a branch in this city, they won't have spare funds to open another branch in the short term.
With this idea in mind, and out of consideration for maximizing interests, they must make the best choice.
They will choose whichever city allows them to earn more and is more cost-effective.
And it was during this comparison process that Sunset City lost.
There is indeed a market, but to put it bluntly, the consumption power of Sunset City is very low. Even if the merchants already have a branch, they will probably make more money by going to Zhuxing City to open another branch than in Sunset City.
.
This is what happened.
Not to mention that with the development of the times, taking into account the problem of convenient transportation, compared to the elf provinces with inconvenient transportation, several other provinces with railways have greater commercial value.
And what is the situation here in the Elven Province? The elves resist the laying of railways and the use of steam trains because of environmental pollution problems.
In other words, we really don’t know when this transportation problem will be solved, which leads to higher transportation costs and more time in the Elf Province.
Under this premise, unless the merchants find huge benefits, the Elven Province has long been no longer the first choice of the merchants.
In this way, various reasons are intertwined. In Ye Qingxuan's view, the development of Sunset City cannot even be depressed.
"Qingxuan, according to what you said, even I can't do anything about it."
Putting down the report on Sunset City in his hand, Luo Ji showed a helpless smile on his face.
"Almost."
Ye Qingxuan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"After all, even you, His Majesty the Emperor, can't let businessmen do business at a loss, right?"
"Is there no other way?"
While asking questions, Luo Ji scratched the back of his head with a headache.
After all, it was his city of civilization in all realms. As the supreme ruler, Luo Ji couldn't just watch Sunset City continue to decline. He must find some way.
Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan simply said again...
"It's not like there's no way."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ji quickly made a gesture of listening.
Ye Qingxuan, who was sitting next to him, slowly raised two fingers.
"There are two ways I can think of at the moment..."
"The first way is to issue preferential policies for Sunset City. I have said before that businessmen pursue profits, so we only need to make them profitable. However, this preferential policy cannot be too large. It should be appropriate.
It’s better, after all, you have to pay attention to a balance.”
"Those big merchants may not see this benefit, but there are many small merchants in the civilization of the world. The markets in big cities are basically occupied by those big merchants with strong strength, and the small merchants who are not strong enough
It is difficult for merchants to get a piece of the pie, but if there is an advantage, those small merchants will never mind avoiding the head-on confrontation with the big merchants and go to a small city to eat a piece of cake peacefully."
"The second way is to support local business. If outside businessmen don't want to go, then we can simply increase support for local businessmen and lend their hands to drive the economic development of Sunset City. Of course, this method is more expensive.
It’s time.”
It has to be said that both methods are feasible. As for the specific implementation work, it is naturally left to Ye Qingxuan without any doubt.
After all, in the economic and business fields, her ability is beyond doubt.
In response, Ye Qingxuan also responded to the matter with patting her chest.
After all, if you really want to talk about it, she is indeed responsible for this development...
