On April 30th, it was time to sell sea salt again, and the monthly net income of Beimu Salt Field was 3,600 gold coins.

Another pillar industry in the territory - Langshan Mine, has become the territory's primary industry, because the number of miners increased to 5,000 in April, with a monthly net income of 8,500 gold coins, far exceeding the Beimu Salt Field, and it has become the territory's primary industry in one fell swoop.

Adding to the 900 gold coins left before, Ouyang Shuo held 13,000 gold coins in his hand. This fund looks very large, but after deducting daily expenses, there is not so much money that can be used.

Ouyang Shuo directly allocated 5,000 gold coins to the Finance Department for territorial fiscal expenditure.

First of all, military expenditures. With the expansion of the military scale, military expenditures have increased sharply, and the monthly military pay alone is a large expense.

Since the territory's economy was abundant, the monthly subsidy standard for Ouyang Shuo soldiers has been directly increased by ten times. First-level soldiers can receive military pay of ten silver coins every month, and so on, ninth-level soldiers can receive military pay of ninety silver coins every month. Fire chief has one gold coin every month, squadron leader has two gold coins every month, and 20 gold coins every month.

Take the Cavalry Battalion as an example. The average rank of soldiers is the fourth level, and the monthly military salary of ordinary soldiers is 180 gold coins. In addition, fifty fire chiefs, five squadron leaders and one battalion chief, the monthly military salary of the Cavalry Battalion is 275 gold coins. For four regular battalions, the monthly military salary of 1,100 gold coins. In addition, the consumption of food, weapons and equipment, the monthly military expenditure is close to 1,400 gold coins.

The second is government expenditure. With the addition of grassroots government personnel in various departments, government expenditures are also considerable. Grassroots government personnel are paid one gold coin per month, ten gold coin per month, and twenty-five gold coin per month. In addition to the consumption of office supplies such as pen, ink, paper and ink, etc., and other expenses, the monthly government expenditure is close to 500 gold coin per month.

The other is public fiscal expenditure. Because the funds from the system auction are to be raised, the four major infrastructure projects, including the completed city wall and moat projects, territory renewal projects, Friendship Town wall projects and road projects, the Construction Department has not paid its salary yet. The average salary of a craftsman is 100 copper coins per day, and the labor expenditure of the four major infrastructure projects alone reaches 1,000 gold coins.

Of course, project expenses are one-time expenses and are not available every month.

In addition, major collection sites such as logging farms, quarries and mining farms, military industries such as Jiafangsi, crossbow department and weapon workshops, brick kilns, pottery factories, shipyards, ranches and other industries belonging to the territory. With the rapid expansion of its scale, the monthly salary expenditure has reached more than 1,500 gold coins.

Especially for military industries like Jiafangsi, they recruit precious skilled talents, and it is not enough to pay a lower salary. Apprentices have thirty silver coins per month, junior skilled talents one gold coins per month, intermediate skilled talents are hardware coins per month, and advanced skilled talents are ten gold coins per month.

Finally, there is another major item, that is, the basic welfare expenses. The basic welfare includes 100 units of grain coupons, 20 units of meat coupons, a piece of fur, a set of ordinary linen clothes, and a 20 silver coupon voucher, which is converted into about 32 silver coins. Although a large part of these funds is left and right for the Finance Department, each refugee still has to consume about 15 silver coins. The base camp will produce 75 refugees every day, which is 1125 silver coins, and about 340 gold coins per month. If three affiliated territories are added, a month will be invested in thousands of gold coins.

The above are just the five most important expenditures, including education expenditures, public health expenditures and other fiscal expenditures. The fiscal revenue in April was less than 1,000 gold coins. If it weren't for the support of Beimu Salt Field and Langshan Mine, the Finance Department would have been unable to support it long ago.

Since the implementation of privatization in February, these fiscal expenditures have been vaguely vague. I won’t talk about it in February. Privatization has just started, and the scale was not as large as it is now, so I basically don’t feel anything. In March, the fiscal crisis has gradually emerged, but at that time Ouyang Shuo kept suppressing this matter in order to raise funds for the auction.

In April, the territory's financial situation began to improve without any major additional expenses. Only then did Ouyang Shuo gradually regularize these expenses and make up for the expenses owed in the first two months at one time.

It can be said that only in April, the privatization of Shanhai Town was completely completed. In the first two months, there were still many shadows of planned economy. Without the support of Langshan Mine, Ouyang Shuo would not have the confidence to promote this matter with the Beimu Salt Field industry alone.

Now the salary levels of all types of personnel in Shanhai Town are relatively close to that of the royal city. What is the foundation? This is the foundation. When other territories are still eating big pots, Shanhai Town has begun to implement the privatization strategy. When more than 80% of the territory can only maintain food and clothing, the income of the residents of Shanhai Town is equal to that of the royal city.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo did this not only to hide the rich people. A deeper purpose is to take advantage of the huge advantages of Shanhai Town in the early stage to increase residents' income while increasing the level of territorial consumption and stimulate the rapid development of the territory's economy. Only when everyone has spare money can they be willing to buy meat, wear new clothes, go to restaurants downstairs, and buy jewelry for women at home.

All of this complement each other. Today's huge investment is for greater returns tomorrow. Only by making the cake bigger can you truly increase the territorial tax revenue. Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal is that even if there are no industries such as Beimu Salt Field and Langshan Mine in the future, the territorial tax revenue alone will be enough to support huge fiscal expenditures and a huge army.

No matter what, the golden rooster that can lay eggs will always be exhausted. The Langshan Mine will always be hollowed out for one day, and the income of the Beimu Salt Field will also become insignificant in the future. Without long-term plans, there will be immediate worries. Ouyang Shuo does not want to be a short-sighted lord who can only count money on the gold mountain.

After deducting himself from the Finance Department, Ouyang Shuo still had 8,000 gold coins in his hand, which was still a huge sum of money. Of course, he was not going to leave this money idle.

Ouyang Shuo rushed to the intermediate market and first spent 200 gold coins to buy a high-end market building drawing, preparing to upgrade the market to high-end, and open a negotiation and cooperation platform. Only by opening this negotiation and cooperation platform can Shanhai Town conduct weapons and equipment transactions with allies such as Bai Hua.

Next, Ouyang Shuo clicked on the special items column to search for secrets. In addition to leaving 3,000 gold coins for spare, he planned to use the remaining 4,800 gold coins to stock up on the authentic secrets.

There are countless secret books below the king level on the market, regardless of whether it is true or false. On average, one bronze-level secret book is 50 silver coins, black iron-level secret book is 2 gold coins, silver-level secret book is 10 gold coins, and gold-level secret book is 50 gold coins. The "Yue Girl Sword Classic" given to Song Jia by Ouyang Shuo before is a genuine golden-level secret book.

As for the secrets at the gold level or above, it is very rare. King-level secrets appear occasionally, but there are basically no emperor-level secrets. As for the god-level secrets and holy-level secrets, it is impossible to buy them through the market.

Ouyang Shuo hoarded authentic secrets, so he naturally took the high-quality route, so he only focused on gold-level secrets. To his surprise, when collecting authentic gold-level secrets, he was lucky to encounter a royal-level gunshot secret book "Yang Family Gun Jing", which costs 1,000 gold coins.

Ouyang Shuo bought it without hesitation and checked the attributes of the secret book.

[Name]: "Yang Family Guns Sutra" (Imperial-level exercises)

【Routine】: Big Flower Gun/Flower War Gun/Seventeen Battle Gun/Military Battle Gun/Pear Hua Eight Mother Gun/Chen Zhan Gun/Little Flower Gun/

[Tricks]: White snake spits out letters/Swallows grabs the nest/Jianglong comes out of the water/The green dragon lands/The oath dragon swings its tail/Carp unhooks/Yasha explores the sea/The evil tiger pounces on the deer/The boy holds his heart/The flame penetrates the cloud/The oath dragon enters the cave/The evil wolf plows the heart/The iron cow plows the land, etc.

【Serious moves】: Throat gun/Return gun

【Weapon】: Yang Family Pear Blossom Gun

[Evaluation]: Yang Family Gun, full name of Yang Family Peach Blossom, is said to be the spear technique created by Yang Miaozhen, the wife of Li Quan, the leader of the Red Coat Army in the late Southern Song Dynasty. The Yang Family Gun is the master of the world. The front and back hands are hard, and the hands are closed together. They are free of charge. They go away like arrows and return like lines, and their eyes are quick to stab people in the face. The flower gun is dancing, the eyes are blurred. The throat gun is difficult to stop ghosts and gods. The horse gun is back, and the gods are hard to guard against. The monster turns over, the peach blossoms cover the top, and the mistress is over the river and the beach. The embroidered woman runs through the sun and the moon, and the golden gate stone opens to grab Zhong Anhui. If you want to ask about the name and surname of this gun, Qilang and Bahu guard the border.

The Yang Family Gun is considered the number one in the martial arts world, because it sways like a pear blossom when dancing, also known as the pear blossom gun. Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty pointed out in "Ji Xiao New Book" that the Yang Family Gun is unpredictable and has endless deifications, and all the world is willing to worship it. After obtaining this secret book, Ouyang Shuo finally had a major gun technique secret book.

The imperial secrets are already extremely rare. In my previous life, I have never published a few god-level secrets in total. As for the holy secrets, they are even more legendary and no one can see them.

It is not easy to practice the authentic emperor-level secret book. The ancients started to lay the foundation since childhood, and after years of hardship, they suffered all the hardships, and with the guidance of famous teachers, they could only practice it. Players just use virtual network technology to make tricks. If Ouyang Shuo had not had the foundation for practicing large gun stakes for nearly four months, he would probably not even be able to enter the door.

Apart from the only emperor-level secret book "Yang Family Gun Jing", Ouyang Shuo never encountered a satisfying authentic secret book, and even a king-level secret book was not found.
