Star Tycoon

Chapter 187 Getting rich suddenly
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, a safe day; no negative probability events are expected in any region.

Happy New Year! (A lucky event is guaranteed to trigger today)

[Congratulations on triggering a random level 3 lucky event! Auspicious beginnings!]

[The horse gallops with the wind, the sheep brings peace and tranquility. From today onward, we break with the old and welcome the new; may the hearts of all citizens be restored to 100%, and may tax payments resume.]

"This……"

Tian Ersan was dumbfounded.

"I never imagined such random events could happen."

"If I hadn't paid taxes for a year before, wouldn't I have wasted this opportunity worth over two million?"

"There's no way around it, this game requires taxes to be levied in advance to play. If I didn't levy taxes in advance, it would probably take five or six years to develop to its current scale."

Tian Ersan did not hesitate for a moment.

"Taxation, for one year!"

Copper coins +2969640!

Public support -55! (Level 3 Government Hall -15 cost)
The residents who had been watching the commotion nearby now had cold expressions, and the festive smiles they had shown earlier during the New Year were gone.

Before these people could even begin to verbally abuse his ancestors, Tian Ersan quickly shouted, "Soothe them!"

Appease: Consumes five times the current daily tax revenue to increase public morale by 10 points, once a month.

Consumed 40680 copper coins! Popularity +15!

45+15=60
With public sentiment at sixty percent, we'll just make do and get through the New Year.

No negative events are expected on New Year's Day, so there's no need to worry about a further decline in public morale.

"Build 1000 farmhouses!"

Copper coins - 1000000
"Build 656 houses!"

Tian Ersan suddenly spent all his money, leaving only a little over five thousand for emergencies.

A thousand farmhouses were quickly built, and more than two thousand laborers from both inside and outside the city flocked to the city. Even the city walls were no longer repaired; they were all sent to build houses.

A large number of people work together to build a house. Once one house is completed, there are 1 to 5 more workers, and then work continues to build new houses.

Before nightfall, all 600-plus houses were repaired.

Tax: 38136 (Total)
People: 16463 (excluding overseas)
户：1343+1000+656*5=5623（不算海外）
"It's so cool!"

Tian Ersan felt extremely happy.

"Yesterday the tax was over five thousand a day, now it's almost forty thousand!"

"The new hires are offered over 30,000 in taxes every day!"

Tax offsets and appeasement are done monthly, but Tian Ersan has gone crazy and doesn't care about those things anymore.

"Newcomer, you've paid taxes for five months!"

Initial price 15 + 5 months 25!

Copper coins +4967900!

Tian Ersan quickly won over a large group of villagers who supported him.

"This is how you should play the game!"

"Watch closely! This is how you play the game!"

"1655 houses were built!"

Tian Ersan spent all the money he had just received.

By this time, there was a large workforce both inside and outside the city. With the joint efforts of 4,700 or 4,800 workers from home and abroad, the entire city began a large-scale construction project, and the sounds of work could be heard everywhere.

Tian Ersan discovered that not only he could speed things up, but the newly arrived craftsman heroes could also enter the houses to accelerate construction.

Lu Changlin aims to improve the overall quality of farmers, including their work speed.

A building normally takes 72 hours to complete. If a worker increases their efficiency by 10%, it will take 65.5 hours.

In conjunction with the reduction of Level 3 building technology, the reduction will be 10%, 10%, and 10%.

Then, multiple people work together to build it.

After looking at it for a while, Tian Ersan quickly found the correct value.

It's not just simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; technology is multiplication, and it has the highest priority.

For multiple workers, division has the lowest priority.

Lu Changlin's skills increase the base stats.

One worker's labor power is 1, and after being blessed by Lu Changlin, it becomes 1.1.

72*90%*90%*90%=47.2392
47.2392 divided by the efficiency of a single worker, 1.1, is approximately equal to 43.

That means 43 workers can finish a house in an hour.

In fact, it's even faster; one hundred people can be sent to repair each level one building.

The 1655 houses represent 1655 urban residents. Each house built adds a few more workers to continue increasing the construction speed.

More than 500 households had been added after six hours.

Tian Ersan watched as people came out of each household.

Most of them are combinations of parents, couples, and children.

和农舍里那种一人口1~6人的设定不同，民房5人口普遍都是3~6人

Both the number of laborers and taxpayers have decreased significantly, and there are even elderly people and women living alone.

"Holy crap! We're doomed!"

Tian Ersan had no choice but to keep going. If he didn't build the house while there were many people during the Spring Festival, the population would only decrease in the future.

It was almost ten minutes past the New Year. Tian Ersan went to a nearby open space and tightened his shoelaces to prepare for the arrival of the next ten minutes!
Tian Ersan stood up and prayed silently.

"Dad, please, give me some more money. I'll burn paper money for you when I go back to China next week!"

At Tian Ersan's sincere call, golden dumplings slowly descended from the night sky, like happy gold ingots.

"Offer 80 million!! If you can offer 80 million, I'll kowtow to you! My dad!"

Tian Ersan shouted excitedly and ran quickly to welcome the God of Wealth.

After catching the first dumpling that fell from the sky, Tian Ersan took a bite of the large dumpling, which looked like a gold ingot.

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!]

"Only 88,000? Are you trying to fetch a beggar?!"

After cursing loudly, Tian Ersan forgot about being angry and quickly reached out to take the second dumpling.

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!]

"Depend on!"

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!]

"This is garbage! What the hell is this?! It's like asking for trouble during the Chinese New Year! It would have been better to cancel it!"

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!]

Tian Ersan was in a bad mood after eating the dumpling. Eighteen thousand yuan was better than nothing.

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!]

……

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!]

"188,000 is better than nothing, just so-so."

Tian Ersan sighed, "Really, they can't even let people have a moment of joy during the New Year."

The last dumpling slowly fell, and Tian Ersan caught the golden dumpling with both hands without expression, then ate it without expression either.

Soon, his face lit up with a big smile!

[You enjoyed the New Year's dumplings! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune! 888888!] [You won the grand prize! You've received a lucky coin!]

Tian Ersan suddenly felt something in his mouth and quickly reached out and spat out a yellow copper coin about the size of a bottle cap.

Lucky Coin

treasure
Effect: Gain copper coins equal to the current population plus 1 per day.

"Wow! That felt great!!"

Tian Ersan never expected to have such a great day!
After eating dumplings, the New Year would be over, and it would be time to go out and call the women to catch up.

But Tian Ersan has no time to care about those women now.

Even if ten women were kneeling before me, it wouldn't be as satisfying as building the remaining thousand-plus houses right now!

A thousand houses mean five thousand people. Even if some elderly people and women living alone are unlucky, the overall number won't be too different.

"Build 1170 farmhouses!"

Copper coins -1170000!

"Get to work! Get to work! We're building a house!"

Tian Ersan stomped his feet with joy as he looked at the large, densely packed group of villagers.

More than 6,000 workers have started working together to build a better city!

Before dawn, the remaining thousand-plus houses were all completed.

Tax: 108770 (Total)
Total population: 24463
Effective population: 11590
In a farmhouse, one person equals one family. Nowadays, during the Lunar New Year, one person is basically a family of 3 to 7.

Urban residents are paying more taxes, but the population is decreasing.

Theoretically, 1655 houses should house more than 8,000 people, but in reality, there are fewer than 7,000. The planned population is slightly higher.

Most families celebrating the Lunar New Year outside the county are four-person households, followed by six-person households spanning three generations in a small county town.

There are more in rural areas, but there are also single-person households like the Alloy Brothers, which means the total population is not much larger than the working population.

The only fortunate thing is that there are few women... In reality, there are relatively few women in rural areas, which is not necessarily a bad thing for this place.

"I remember the ratio of one thousand people was about 1 to 3, but now it has dropped to 2. If this continues, the number of people per household may be as low as one or two."

"The lucky copper coins alone give an extra 13791 in income every day. The daily tax exceeds 100,000, which is equivalent to an increase of more than 10%, or the same as having Lu Changlin's bonus?"

Tian Ersan smiled and realized that he had misunderstood.

Lu Changlin's taxation only applies to farmers outside the city, not to residents inside the city.

The new residents can provide 70,000 copper coins in taxes every day, which, combined with the copper coins, makes it approximately 80,000.

With so much money, it's easy to support three heroes.

"Newcomer, tax collection for five months!"

Tian Ersan gained money, but also lost the support of the people.

Copper coins +10665734!

Public support has dropped by 40%!

Looking at the more than ten million yuan on his body, Tian Ersan supported himself with his hands on the two female villagers, feeling that he was about to lose his balance.

Just yesterday morning, Tian Ersan was a nobody who earned a little over 5,000 yuan in taxes every day and had less than 20,000 yuan in cash.

Today, right now, I earn 100,000 a day!! I have tens of millions in cash on me!

"By next year, I won't even care about 80 million!!"

Tian Ersan waved his hand, about to do something drastic again, when Lu Changlin shouted loudly from the side!
"My lord! We are now consuming more than 500,000 cubic meters of grain every day, which is 340 cubic meters. We only have 100 farmlands left. Any more and we will be in trouble!"

Tian Ersan suddenly remembered this matter!
People may not necessarily pay taxes, work, or serve in the military.

But everyone, even a dog, needs to eat!
"Get to work! Gather as much grain as possible!"

Tian Ersan was not in a hurry. With tens of millions of dollars in hand, the problem of food consumption could be easily solved as long as the population was not increased rashly.

"Build a thousand farmlands!"

Copper coins -100000!

A thousand farmlands only yield 1 copper coins, and each farmland produces about one cubic meter of grain per day, influenced by both the positive effects of technology and the negative effects of the harsh winter.

A thousand farmlands have already solved the problem of food.

However, Tian Ersan also realized that the population could not be increased indefinitely, and the most important thing was to upgrade all kinds of buildings.

"The urban population continued to build city walls and unfinished buildings, while the population outside the city collected resources."

Tian Ersan began to study various technologies at the academy. Now that he had enough money, he needed to study technology around the clock, without wasting a single second.

The useless population was in the way in the space, so Tian Ersan relocated some of the newly arrived reserve population and spent 10,000 copper coins to fill Yangjia Village.

A 30% discount is offered for Level 3 government offices, and subsequent entry and exit will only cost 70 copper coins.

Ten thousand copper coins can send more than 140 people out, and these people, gathered together, can help Yang Shuming get things done quickly.

Currently, the majority of the population comes from rural areas, comprising over 2,800 households and more than 10,000 people.

Of these, 2170 households were just built today. Due to the New Year and the influence of the rural environment, each household has an average of 4 to 5 people.

Excluding the newly established Yangcun, Sanhe Village currently has 1580 households, a total population of 6614, and a land area of ​​3565 mu, comprising 10 natural villages.

Originally, Sanhe Village only had three villages, but the system created several new natural villages near Sanhe Village, such as Xiwang Village, Xiaowang Village, Dawang Village, Xiaoli Village, and Yigou Village.

Sanhe Village now has 9 village committees, 350 college students, an average annual fiscal revenue of 2 million yuan, and an average annual household income of 131601 yuan.

It has primary schools, middle schools, vocational high schools, clinics, activity centers, supermarkets, factories...

Li Cuihua's Lizhuang, Wang Ernong's Wangzhuang, and Yi Xiannong's Yizhuang

Nowadays, as long as the population increases, it can basically be upgraded from a village to a town.

If the more than 5,000 people from Yangcun join, it will solve the population problem.

This kind of thing doesn't need Tian Ersan to do. With Yijiazhuang, which lacks land for development, taking the lead, and Wangzhuang, Yizhuang, and Lizhuang, which have money, all agreeing, Yangcun can be connected with Sanhecun.

The county's population has also increased significantly. Due to demolition and relocation, Tao County, which has developed well in the past two years, has naturally attracted people from the surrounding areas. An increase of 10,000 people has no impact.

"Let things develop naturally from here on out. I wonder what strange things will come up in the end."

"But it's definitely more interesting than reality."

If falling in love could make one stronger, Tian Ersan would definitely fall in love.

There's no need to worry about retirement. As long as I don't lower public support to below fifty, the people under my command are definitely more reliable than my wife and children.

Their emotional value is incomparable. As long as you don't provoke their sensitivities, these people are actually more normal than normal people and are not so emotionally unstable.

Moreover, they genuinely care about people, pay taxes, work, and provide emotional value; in every aspect, they are far superior to the people of Earth!
This is home; the outside is just a clubhouse.

However, due to the dismissal of Yi Xiannong, Tian Ersan has been urged by various channels in China to handle the aftermath.

Death is a serious matter, and Yi Xiannong's funeral has become a major event of national concern.

Having a great day in the virtual world, arranging Yi Xiannong's funeral was even more enjoyable!

Just as Tian Ersan went to the hospital in the grassland province to see Yi Xiannong's body, the dead Yi Xiannong had already been reduced to ashes by a group of beasts in Yijiazhuang.

The people of Yijiazhuang, for reasons unknown, secretly moved the body out in the middle of the night for cremation and burial. They secretly bribed the crematorium workers and, without notifying their superiors, hastily burned this contemporary saint, who should have had a grand memorial service and funeral, to ashes, which were then scattered on the grassland.

They didn't even put up a grave!
This infuriated the leaders and researchers from all over the country who came to mourn, some of whom called Taoxian County leaders to curse them out, while others directly called the hotline to complain.

But what can we do about them?

Based on the grounds of respecting Yi Xiannong's will, and with the help of three or four hundred villagers, they insisted on burying Yi Xiannong on the grassland where he worked, without taking up any farmland in his hometown or disturbing its tranquility!
These people are all from Yijiazhuang, and some are workers from the milk powder factory. Everyone said they were following Yi Xiannong's will. Yi Xiannong had said before his death that he wanted to dedicate his life to serving others!
This is a saint!
They simply didn't heed the instructions from the county leaders.

Anyway, these people carried out Yi Xiannong's will according to his request, leaving a group of outsiders in an awkward position.

Yi Xiannong truly lived a life of utter incorruptibility, not even owning a coffin.

The troublemakers of Yijiazhuang went home for the Spring Festival in groups, while the clerk at the crematorium who violated regulations by cremating corpses went to jail for the holiday.

The grand memorial service that was originally planned was quickly canceled, and the scheduled news interviews were also cancelled.

Tian Ersan came over but didn't have anything to do, so he went to play games again.
