Extraordinary pedigree

After the two talked about the violent plunder and the cruel nature of the slave economy of the current Ivy War, they came to the part they were most concerned about, which was how the first hub of the Authority, the Whispering Square, developed in the Ivy War.

His eyes calmly scanned the document submitted by Pansy Jane, which was the resource plan of Whispering Plaza. Rows of numbers were tumbling in his mind. The resource planning of Whispering Plaza was so detailed that almost no omissions were left out.

In the resource module, water resources account for the largest proportion, with 18 units, accounting for 18% of the total area. Converting the units into a specific area, it is 180.000 square meters.

Mineral resources, 3 units, accounting for 3% of the total area.

Forest resources, 10 units, accounting for 10% of the total area.

Land resources, 20 units, accounting for 20% of the area.

Crop cultivation areas and pastures together account for only 4% of the total area, with each accounting for 2%.

Subsequently, 7% non-renewable energy.

The remaining land will be used to build schools and create a square urban center.

According to the resource allocation of the Whispering Square, especially the limited area of ​​crop planting areas and pasture resources, it is difficult for the square to rely on its own agricultural resources to maintain a self-sufficient economic model.

Therefore, the development of Whisper Square is more inclined to a market-oriented economy, which relies on trade, resource circulation and cross-dimensional commercial activities to promote economic growth. ,

Xia Xiu put down the document, closed his eyes, and seemed to reorganize the entire plan of the Whispering Square in his mind, thinking about it again and again.

Crop cultivation area and pasture resources each occupy only 2 units, approximately 20.000 square meters.

Compared with the population size and resource needs of the square, this is far from enough to support self-sufficient food production and breeding needs.

Due to limited agricultural resources, the square cannot provide enough food and daily necessities through its own planting and breeding, and must rely on imported agricultural products, meat and other necessities from external planes.

Xia Xiu's eyes fell on the mineral survey report in Secretary-General Pansy Jian's hand. His thoughts were running rapidly, as if he had already constructed a clear strategic blueprint in his mind.

"Timber resources cannot be left vacant. Ten units of forest resources are equivalent to 100.000 square meters. I have also read your above planting report on Silver Moon Maple trees. Each tree requires about 50 square meters of space to grow (including crown and root system). etc.), which means that 2,000 silvery moon maple trees can be planted in the square.”

Xia Xiu mentally calculated the benefits of planting trees - Silver Moon Maple trees of each type of material were produced at a ratio of 1/3:

Income from premium timber trees:

666 high-quality trees × 150 gold coins = 99.900 gold coins

Income from ordinary timber trees:

666 ordinary trees × 100 gold coins = 66.600 gold coins

Secondary tree benefits:

666 secondary timber trees × 50 gold coins = 33.300

Therefore, the total revenue from planting 2000 Silver Moon Maple trees is approximately 199.800 gold coins.

The conversion of the real economy is a bit unworthy. According to the correction value economic system, the Silver Moon Maple Tree can be abstracted into resource units and converted into correction values ​​through the completion pool.

Assuming the above is an ordinary silver moon maple tree, its abstraction ratio is 100 trees = 1 unit of wood.

1 unit of wood = 100 modifier (standard exchange rate).

That is to say, 2000 Silver Moon Maple trees can be abstracted into 2000 correction value or 20 wood units.

If experts who control natural forces such as professional thaumaturges and druids are introduced, through their abilities, the originally long planting cycle can be shortened to half a month and the quality of the trees can be improved.

These thaumaturges and druids can naturally accelerate and improve the quality of trees, allowing the wood of Silver Moon Maple trees to be produced efficiently while maintaining the quality of superior wood.

The income can be doubled again.

To get rich first, plant trees first, then plant them, and then plant and plant them again to create a circular economic system.

"You are right..." the secretary-general reminded in a subtle tone: "But the saplings of the Silver Moon Maple Tree are stuck on the other two giants and their affiliated institutions of the New Alliance. The Administration has been negotiating with them some time ago. But they stuck us with various procedures.”

"Card bureau procedure?"

Xia Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh - people can really laugh when they are extremely speechless.

"You are really an official and a bureaucrat." He secretly cursed in his heart.

"It just so happens that I need to go on-site to communicate with various organizations about the racecourse. Regarding the procedures, I will say hello to each organization when I visit in person."

Having said this, Xia Xiu asked the secretary-general another question.

"Have the people in the Bureau of Mineral Resources checked?"

Pansy Jane opened the report in her hand, her eyes slid between the words on it, and she reported the report in a smooth tone:

"According to the geological survey conducted by the Mole Science Society, the mineral vein under the square is indeed rich and is a high-quality star iron deposit. This ore has extremely strong magical energy-conducting properties and is widely used to make advanced magic instruments and weapons. and protective gear.

According to the current valuation of the plane market - 50 pieces of ordinary quality star iron ore are equivalent to 1 unit of ore resources, and 10 high-quality star iron ores are equivalent to 1 unit of ore resources. "

She paused and then added: "According to preliminary estimates, if we start collecting, the square can collect hundreds of pieces of star iron ore every day. The specific value will be further adjusted based on the survey and mining progress."

After hearing this, Xia Xiu frowned slightly and crossed his hands on the table. He fell into a brief meditation, thinking about how to maximize the potential of this mineral resource.

The air in the room seemed to become stagnant because of his thoughts, Pansy Jane stood aside and waited quietly.

After a while, Xia Xiu raised his head, fixed his eyes firmly on Panxi, sighed and said:

"The conditions of the square determine that it can only develop into a regional trade hub."

"We cannot rely on hub resources to maintain long-term economic growth. We must develop commercial areas, market areas and auction venues through taxes, trade fees and tariffs to attract businessmen from all over the world to come and trade."

He sat up slightly, his eyes flashing with thought, and continued:

"Policy-wise, we must provide tax exemptions and preferential leasing conditions for merchants from foreign planes to promote the development of trade. The Whispering Square must become the ideal trading place for most merchants in the border area and the New World. , Only in this way can we establish a stable economic foundation."

After listening to Xia Xiu's plan, the secretary-general frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his expression.

She gently closed the document in her hand, raised her head, and reminded calmly:

"After all, the Administration is backed by the Kingdom of Heaven..."

After all, the Kingdom of Heaven is different from other secular institutions.

Although the kingdom of heaven is extremely powerful, its closed nature and extraordinary concepts have always kept people away.

Although the Management Bureau is a secularized product and an attempt by the Kingdom of Heaven, in the eyes of many supernatural forces, the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven is still mysterious and even threatening.

The resource allocation of the Kingdom of Heaven is dominated by the Eden Think Tank, and the scheduling, allocation, and even external trading assets of all extraordinary resources are greatly restricted. It can even be said that there is almost no real opening to the outside world.

For those extraordinary forces from the outside world who covet the resources of the Kingdom of Heaven, the resources controlled by the angels are a huge bait, but they are also afraid of the power of the angels - once there is negotiation, the iron fist of the Kingdom of Heaven may confiscate everything at any time. "

After hearing this, Xia Xiu smiled slightly, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the skyline of New York City in the distance. He said slowly: "This Ivy War is not a simple fight with swords, guns and swords."

His voice was low and penetrating, with a certain sneer to it.

"When the wallets of those extraordinary forces bulge, they don't care at all whether they are trading with angels. Profit is the real goal they pursue. As for whether the counterparty of the transaction is an angel, a devil, or a mortal, it doesn't matter to them What's the difference?"

"When the Kingdom of Heaven was promised, including normality and abnormality, one hub and two systems, those alien races did not jump out."

"It's the same now. They only want benefits, and they can only see benefits. When they get used to trading resources with us, and when they get enough profits through the hub of the Administration, they will naturally ignore the so-called threat to the Kingdom of Heaven."

"By then, the so-called extraordinary alert will become irrelevant."

Secretary General Pansy Jane nodded and said thoughtfully:

“You are right, when the benefits are tempting enough, many of the original scruples and fears will be left behind.

However, the closed and mysterious nature of the internal political situation in the Kingdom of Heaven makes it difficult for us to fully gain the initiative in this cross-dimensional war. Even in some transactions, we will still face restrictions within the Kingdom of Heaven and other core institutions..."

Xia Xiu waved his hand, looked at her indifferently, and interrupted her words:

"Don't take a counter-position. The Administration is just a means, not an end - all attempts at secularization are just for the sake of the core program, not for the sake of struggle."

The coercion in the tone of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven made the secretary-general feel like a light on his back.

Xia Xiu's words were not just a reminder, but more like an awakening and a knock on her mind.

The Secretary-General knew that although his analysis just now was from the standpoint of the Administration, it had accidentally touched upon the more profound power structure of the Kingdom of Heaven.

She tried to simply attribute the problem to competition for resources and interest games...

The blond young man looked at his secretary-general, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Pansy Jane, be wary of the behavior of fallen angels in heaven, and be wary of bad people among angels."

"Some of our comrades are obviously able to pour out the last grain of rice in their bowls for mankind when they are hungry, and are not afraid of life and death, facing all fears; but in the face of the corruption of the Four Monarchs and Chaos, these iron bones Zhengzheng, his spine bent instantly."

There was a hint of sarcasm and regret in his voice, "Some people even drew knives against their colleagues who had been through life and death because of them, and spit out venom against the ideas they pursued in the past."

Secretary-General Pansy Jane lowered her head, realizing that some of her words may have touched some boundaries that should not be touched.

She felt Xia Xiu's warnings and reminders, not only to remind her to avoid falling into the vortex of power, but also to remind her to always remain vigilant against the corruption of chaos.

Because even the angels in heaven, not all of them can resist the ubiquitous power of corruption.

Even... the decision-makers at the high table.

The silence in the room did not last long.

Zhizhizhi——

Xia Xiu stood up from his seat and stretched his muscles, making a slight sound in his joints.

He stretched, as if he wanted to get rid of the smell of working at his desk for two long days.

He raised his eyes to look at the secretary-general who was still bowing his head, and then said:

"Okay, that's it for the report - next, I still have to trouble you and the two special agents, Bright Moon Rabbit and Green Ox, to deal with the weird things in Hell's Kitchen."

While he was speaking, he reached out and picked up the silver cane placed aside, and tapped the ground lightly, making a crisp sound.

"Over at the hub, let that old fox Turs be the chief first."

As Xia Xiu spoke, he walked towards the clothes rack, quickly picked up his black windbreaker and put it on. The hem of the windbreaker rippled along with his movements, making him look taller and taller.

"He is very good at dealing with alien matters. Let him stand on the stage first to save me from being distracted."

Having said this, Xia Xiu stopped and gently adjusted the collar of his windbreaker, then picked up the black [Pigeon Top Hat] hanging on the hanger and put it firmly on his golden hair.

His expression was as indifferent as ever, as if the complex political situation and economic system just discussed were just an ordinary daily arrangement.

"As for what will be announced by the subsequent hub - political system, policies, racial rights..."

His golden eyes flickered slightly, his tone paused, and he continued:

"After I deal with the mess in my column, I will personally announce the plane's political system of Whispering Square to the outside world."

Secretary General Pansy Jane listened silently, the folder in her hand had been steadily put away, ready to execute the next instructions at any time.

Xia Xiu turned around and tapped his cane gently on the ground. Against the backdrop of his windbreaker, he looked like a commander about to go on an expedition.

There was an indescribable casualness in his voice:

"You can ask people from the Publicity and Development Department to create public opinion in advance, just say - in the field of business and economics, the Honkai Administration Bureau implements an open policy, allows all ethnic groups to do business freely, and provides an equal tax policy; although the Administration adheres to Human supremacy, but the racial rights policy implemented in Whisper Square will be based on the concept of equal economic rights.”

Interest is the basis of all conflicts and cooperation. In this case, Xia Xiu does not mind allowing the Honkai Authority to show sufficient flexibility in terms of business interests.

He continued:

"At the same time, 'mercantilism' is the 'core economic policy' implemented by the Honkai Authority - we only emphasize controlling and optimizing resource circulation, increasing the accumulation of plane wealth, and ensuring that the Honkai Authority can obtain from economic activities best interests."

"The general announcement is like this. You don't care whether other people believe it or not - anyway, you just need to spread the public opinion above to every hub in the new world, then spread it to the junction, and then spread it to the heavens through the junction Wanjie."

At this point, he was ready to go out. He raised his hand and patted his hat gently, as if to bring an end to today's conversation.

Pansy Jane responded in a low voice: "Understood, Director."

Then, she watched a [Mobius Band] appear under Xia Xiu's feet, and then the whole person disappeared into the office.

10:20AM

Street 9 in Hell's Kitchen.

"The Administration is nothing more than a tool used by the Kingdom of Heaven to suppress our freedom! We will no longer be silent! We will no longer surrender! Do you think you can suppress our souls with those few shields and weapons? Your protection can only protect Your body cannot protect your corrupt soul!"

A low humming sound filled the air above the street, and the surrounding air seemed to be extremely heavy. The whole street was filled with strange spiritual fluctuations.

The members of the Mindthirger Society float in the air like a swarm of shadows.

The skin of each mindtheater was a grey-purple color, clinging to their bodies like some kind of slippery carapace.

There are four tentacles growing in the center of the head. These tentacles are constantly twisting, as if they can penetrate directly into anyone's thoughts.

Wearing black or purple robes, they were suspended in mid-air, their tentacles waving in the air, their eyes radiating anger and contempt.

Their eyes flashed with strange light, and their spiritual power spread to the surrounding streets through [Psychic Shock], and the whole street fell into chaos.

Pedestrians on the road were stunned by the impact of these spiritual messages. Many people held their heads in their hands and squatted on the ground in pain. Endless murmurs and roars seemed to ring in their ears.

The leading spirit sucker was wearing a gorgeous purple robe and floating at the front of the team.

His tentacles sway constantly, releasing invisible power into the surrounding air.

His voice spread through spiritual projection, shaking people's hearts like thunder——

"We oppose! We accuse!"

"We oppose! We accuse!"

"We oppose! We accuse!"

The voice of the spirit sucker blasted directly into everyone's mind, filled with endless anger and pain.

"The violent suppression by the Authority has deprived us of the cultural foundation of the spirit suckers! Your restrictions on our spiritual links are a denial of our existence!"

His tentacles trembled slightly, and along with the mental fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual suckers, a powerful spiritual power surged around like waves again.

呲呲呲————

The glass windows on both sides of the street shattered under this mental shock, and the street lamps also made a harsh electric sound in the strong mental shock.

On the other side, the operators of the Administration had already prepared to arm themselves on the street.

A team of Administration operators wearing black protective robes stood in formation, the black robes swaying slightly in the breeze, and the silver badge of the Administration inlaid on their chests, looking particularly solemn. The front row of operators held [Psychic Explosion-proof Shields], and the surface of the shields flashed with fine runes and a faint blue light, which was used to defend against the mental attacks of the mind suckers.

The shields were raised high, forming an airtight line of defense, guarding the team behind.

Special Operator Rich Robert, also known as "Mole".

He stood behind the queue to command the members of the Science Society, his mechanized right arm shone with silver light, and the mechanical fingers shrank slightly as he thought.

The right arm of the mole was completely composed of mechanical structures. He had no expression on his face, and his eyes stared coldly at the mind suckers floating in the air.

His left hand directed the black-robed operators behind him. The team in combat uniforms had already lined up neatly, and the operators in the back row held the loaded [Blast Gun Type I].

The gun body was inlaid with runes and energy conduits, emitting a faint light.

Each operator was on high alert, with the muzzle pointing directly at the Soul Drainer in midair.

"Ready--" Mole's low voice came from the communication, and the muzzles of the operators in the back row were slightly raised, aiming at the purple-robed Soul Drainer.

At this time, the purple-robed Soul Drainer in the lead shouted angrily:

"Your violence will only make us more united! You can't erase the existence of our spiritual power, and the Administration will pay the price for it!"

Mole looked at it coldly, and then continued to give orders.

"Unlock the restrictions--"

With Mole's order, the safety device of [Blast Gun Type I] was unlocked, and subtle electric current sounds sounded, and a light blue light flashed on the barrel.

The atmosphere of confrontation instantly became extremely tense.

Some soul suckers began to taunt the management staff with more provocative words:

"Look at you lackeys, deformed freaks, hiding behind shields, holding those few weapons and pretending, are you scared?

You are just slaves of the Kingdom of Heaven. Today your master gives you orders, but tomorrow your master will not protect you!"
