Something is wrong with Miss Witch

A file was found from it.

"What is this?" Caroline touched her lips.

"A universal solution." Yu Yuwei smiled mysteriously.

"A universal solution?" Caroline had never seen a universal solution before. She asked with a questioning expression, "Can you let me take a look?"

Yu Yuwei took the document in her hand and said, "That's unnecessary. After all, the so-called omnipotence, to a certain extent, means it's completely useless."

"Oh? So this document can convince Miss Lou Yue?" Carolie looked at Yu Yuwei.

"Of course." Yu Yuwei looked at Caroline with disappointment: "Caroline, have we ever failed to convince the city lord?"

She waved her hand and said, "No matter how the city lord changes his mind, we will remain unmoved."

"This universal plan is the key to dealing with the city lord," she said. "No matter what the plan is, do you know what the common point is?"

"Power?" Carolie asked.

"No, my Miss Caroline." Yu Yuwei was very disappointed.

Caroline is already unhappy. It’s fine if Miss Lou Yue calls me Caroline, but why do you call me that too?

Yu Yuwei immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Caroline. I've been listening to Miss Lou Yue teaching you Caroline recently, so I just said it casually."

She immediately put the blame on Miss Lou Yue.

Caroline then nodded reluctantly.

Yu Yuwei continued, "No matter how the content of each plan changes, the only constant is the budget. We will provide our Lady City Lord with an extremely detailed and rigorous budget plan."

"Besides, this budget can withstand scrutiny. It's definitely not wrong. If you have the chance, you can give yourself a few days off."

"Generally speaking, we can delay the incident for a week from the mayor's lady."

"A week?" Carolie immediately sighed. It must be the witch in the city hall playing tricks.

I never knew I had this skill.

However, this wasn't a big deal. All witches kept a few tricks up their sleeve.

I am in the West District, and I only have a few skills.

Thinking of this, Caroline and Yu Yuwei came to Miss Lou Yue's office.

Lou Yue put down the book and glanced at Yu Yuwei. She shook her feet and said to Yu Yuwei: "Ms. Yu Yuwei, have you come up with a plan? Although I need it very urgently today, don't worry, this is not the final inspection. It's just to observe the progress, so don't worry. If there is any enlargement, just show it to me."

Yu Yuwei said, "Miss City Lord, we civil servant witches are all extremely reliable witches. Although it's only been a few days, we've already made significant progress."

"But we've run into a big problem. Only after you make a ruling can we move forward with the plan."

"Oh?" Lou Yue looked at Yu Yuwei in confusion.

Yu Yuwei also walked forward and handed the folder to Lou Yue.

When Lou Yue opened the folder, she saw the big words at the top.

This plan will initially take up 50% of the annual tax revenue, and subsequently it will require about 10% of the annual tax revenue to maintain it each year.

Please note that all fee standards will use this year's taxes as the standard.

If tax revenue starts to decline continuously afterwards.

It needs to occupy a larger share.

Lou Yue's eyes twitched. "Fifty percent?! And the maintenance fee requires a ten percent share! I remember this year's tax revenue was the highest in recent years."

"Are you sure you're just looking to improve the environment? I can't believe this is a plan to rebuild the entire East Sea City!"

Lou Yue was furious.

Yu Yuwei gave Caroline a look and said, "See, I was right."

This is definitely a panacea.

Caroline rolled her eyes.

Miss Lou Yue was indeed just angry and didn't care about anything else.

Yu Yuwei said calmly, "This is something we carefully calculated. After all, this is the first plan you prepared, and the first thing you planned to do. Therefore, we believe that it cannot be perfunctory. It needs to be done well and grandly enough to let the witches recognize the changes you have made to Donghai City."

Lou Yue was speechless.

But I can't say it, I just want a cheap solution.

So, can you find me a qualified and cheap enough solution?

If we tell them, these guys will definitely just put a few vases at the intersection and be done with it.

Even throwing some vassal troops there would serve as a plan to change the environment.

Lou Yue's eye twitched, and she said, "So, tell me why you need such a large budget?"

She pointed at the armrest and looked at Yu Yuwei angrily.

Chapter 629: Demolition [4k]

"Because this is a necessary preparation, Miss City Lord."

Yu Yuwei was not in a hurry at all. If it were something else, she might be afraid of Lou Yue.

But, in official business.

Humph, to be frank, she is comparable to a legendary witch.

"If we want to implement a policy, we must be fully prepared and understand it before we can formulate a plan. The first goal of formulating a plan is to prepare a budget. You don't want to implement a policy halfway through and then fail due to insufficient budget."

"Your plan requires changing the entire city's landscape, especially the southern district. Miss City Lord, if it were any other witch, I would definitely refuse such a thing. But you are Miss Lou Yue, and your reputation makes it impossible for us to refuse."

"That's why we carefully prepared this budget."

Yu Yuwei talked nonsense just to tell Miss Lou Yue how difficult and tiring her life was.

It made Lou Yue's eyes twitch.

"But, Miss Lou Yue, renovating the entire city requires various plans, such as lighting rights and landscape rights. We need to expend a lot of energy to convince all the witches to accept our landscape change plan. Without a newly established office, it is absolutely impossible to do it."

"It will take us a long time and a lot of manpower to accomplish this goal."

"Based on various considerations, we have come up with such a budget plan."

What Yu Yuwei said makes a lot of sense.

Lou Yue looked at Yu Yuwei with empty eyes: "I know about the lighting rights, but we are only changing the landscape, not the houses or anything like that. The lighting rights should not be of much relevance."

Yu Yuwei shook her head and said, "Miss Lou Yue, we are witches. And witches are always good at complaining. Even if it's about the landscape, they will complain about the right to light. For example, the scenery that witches like is absolutely unchangeable for them."

"Oh? Really?" Lou Yue asked back.

"Of course, in the 332nd year of the Witch Calendar, a witch was upset because a newly planted tree across the street from her house was blocking the sunlight, causing its growth to stunt. She took the city government to court and won."

Yu Yuwei said, "So, Miss Lou Yue, this is still a witch. If we change the entire landscape of Donghai City, how many witches will go to court to sue us? How much compensation will we have to pay?"

"Even if we lose ten years of tax revenue, it's still not enough. That's why we need a lot of manpower to deal with this kind of thing."

The whole witch Lou Yue was unconscious, but she didn't think it was fake.

Because witches really do this kind of thing!

She believed very much in the nature of witches.

Holding his head, he said, "So, what about the right to view the landscape?"

"In order to take care of every witch's mood and keep their emotions within a reasonable range, so that they don't lose control due to excessive emotional fluctuations and cause harm to the witch community, the landscape around each witch's home belongs to the government. However, other things do not."

"For example, the authority to make changes and the authority to take care of the landscape do not belong to the government."

Yu Yuwei said: "To some extent, all the landscapes are gifts to the nearby witches."

"If you want to change the landscape, you need the consent of other witches."

She spread her hands and said, "If you want to transform the entire city, you'll need to spend more manpower to convince those witches. In particular, you'll need to spend a lot of tax revenue to recruit civil servants to meet this demand."

"As we all know, the salaries of civil servant witches are only above average to a certain extent. However, it still requires a sufficient budget, and there are enough of them, so such a large budget is needed to carry it out."

"Of course, this is just the initial budget. It doesn't include the cost of purchasing materials, hiring botanists, or witches like druids to ensure all the plants survive."

Lou Yue was already frowning, and she looked at Caroline.

Caroline said, "Ms. Lou Yue, Ms. Yu Yuwei is right. These are all existing problems, and they all require a lot of manpower and time to solve."

Lou Yue rolled her eyes: "So, why didn't any witch come to stop me in the West District?"

Yu Yuwei smiled slightly. "Ms. Lou Yue, although I don't mean to blame you, the number of witches in the West District is the smallest, so there are large tracts of land where forests and other things can be planted. Moreover, the changes you made to the West District at that time were just a few more Mao Yu and a hint of mist."

"Because there aren't many witches living there, those forests are ownerless. Besides, what kind of scenery is there to see in those forests? The witches don't like them, and they just keep them there because they've adapted to the environment in the West District."

"As for the other areas, they're incredible. The number of witches is particularly high. Especially in the East District, there are a lot of schools there, and schools are always troublesome things, Miss Lou Yue."

Lou Yue nodded.

It's true, going to school is troublesome no matter where you are.

For some other things, if they do not involve the school, probably no one will object. However, once it involves the school, all the witches will object.

This kind of thing is even more so.

Lou Yue was in great trouble. Could it be that all his plans could not be carried out?

She muttered to herself, then stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"The South District should belong to the municipal government." Lou Yue looked at Yu Yuwei.

Yu Yuwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with difficulty.

Caroline said, "Ms. Lou Yue, according to the Wartime Distribution Act, the area where the City Hall is located belongs to the City Hall's fortress. All the buildings and all the landscape belong to the City Hall."

Lou Yue clapped his hands and said, "Very good, then let's not change the entire Donghai City. I want to change all the landscapes in the South District. The various high-rise buildings here look a bit ugly. I like the look of the West District. It would be best to change it to a jungle."

Yu Yuwei’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

But Lou Yue still didn't give up on finishing off the enemy. Instead, he said, "There shouldn't be any problem with this, Ms. Carolee."

Caroline said resentfully, "No problem, Miss Lou Yue."

Yu Yuwei coughed and gave Caroline a look that told her to shut up.

She took a step forward and said to Lou Yue, "Miss City Lord, isn't this too bold?"

Lou Yue played dumb and said, "Really? I don't think so."

Yu Yuwei had no choice but to explain: "There are many banks and even various government agencies here. If we want to completely renovate them, it will be very troublesome. Especially since not all of them are witches from Donghai City, but also chambers of commerce from other city lords. If we do this without a proper reason, it will cause the reputation of Donghai City to decline."

"Ms. Lou Yue, you know, although I don't want to judge the previous city lords, these city lords, at some point, can be called excellent. They did a good job and didn't do anything wrong. But, they also didn't make any changes."

"Donghai City's reputation is only okay. If you implement this policy, it will ruin Donghai City's reputation in the witch world."

Lou Yue said: "Who said I have no reason? I have a good reason."

"Oh?" Yu Yuwei looked at Lou Yue.

It’s not that she looked down on Lou Yue, but she really didn’t believe that Lou Yue could come up with a reason in such a short time.

"Could you please tell me, Miss City Lord?"

"Of course." Lou Yue said, "Prepare for battle!"

"Ah?!" Yu Yuwei was shocked.

Carolie was already stunned, Miss Lou Yue!

Yu Yuwei just wanted to delay for a while, why did you think of starting a war?

Your thinking is too jumpy.

Don’t do this next time. It’s really bad for your heart.

Yu Yuwei was already sweating profusely. She said, "Prepare for war? Do you mean you want to start a war?"
