I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

In the sales plan formulated by Dalton, the first prerequisite is money, which can be immediately used for sufficient gold coin reserves for bulk commodity transactions.

Lucien made appropriate changes to this entry, adding an additional explanation - not the money belonging to the lord Lucien, but the money belonging to the Velvet County government.

After digging Dalton into his own bowl, the county government's financial department had an independent leader, and Lucien immediately started to separate the public and private accounts.Although theoretically the entire Velvet belongs to Lucien, and the private use of the public treasury is also a routine operation of the world lords, but Lucien still feels that it is better for everyone to make a clear distinction.

On this matter, Doton also very much agrees with Lucien's idea.

By separating the two ledgers, the money spent on public and private purposes can be seen at a glance. It is not only convenient to understand the expenditure situation, but also more calm to calculate the expenditure budget for the coming year.

Moreover, it is not easy to make mistakes. The mixing of money for different purposes will inevitably make the accounts confusing. Over time, there will inevitably be expenditures and incomes for unknown purposes on the accounts. No one can guarantee that anyone among them will fish in troubled waters.

So now Lucien's private treasury is a separate account, including the resettlement fee Lucien brought from the imperial capital, various assets of the Rolles Manor, and the production transaction profits of the newly built processing plant, etc. Anna, the head maid, is in charge, and all of Lucien's personal expenses will be taken from this account.

The money of the Velvet County Government is another account, which is recorded and managed by the financial department. This account uses investment, taxation, and confiscated assets as the main sources of income, and most of the money expenditure will be used for the construction of various types of Velvet. Engineering and people's livelihood projects, in addition to officials' salaries, purchase of office supplies, maintenance and repair of office locations and other government daily expenses are also taken from this account.

Lucien made a clear distinction between these two accounts.Since the government of Velvet County is extremely poor, most of the food and infrastructure materials were bought with money from his own private treasury, and this money was recorded in the government's public account as "[Velvet Family 】Investment in government construction projects”, and in return, the county government will give corresponding tax breaks to industries belonging to the [Vilvid family].

Lucien drafted all the above-mentioned documents and kept them in written form. Anna represented [Vilvid Family], and Minister of Finance Dalton represented the Velvet County Government. The two signed the investment agreement together, and Velvet The county lord Lucien signed and stamped it to prove its validity.

Although the essence of this matter is that the money poured from Lucien's left hand to his right hand, and the money is still his money, no one can say whether he, the lord, pays taxes or not, but the nature of the matter is different after Minglu. The operability of this kind of thing will be much greater.

But these are all things to say later. After all, under such a clear division of accounts, Dalton borrowed a large interest-free loan from Lucien in the name of the Wilvelde County government, and used this method to meet the initial gold coins of the plan. reserve requirements.

Then Dalton contacted several large warcraft product distributors in the northern province and the eastern province through his previous connections, and promised them a certain percentage of commercial tax concessions on behalf of the Wilveld County government, and listed the productivity of the processing plant and Existing inventory, attracting their willingness to buy.

At the same time, he had a friendly exchange with the big local merchants in Velvet.Dalton's idea is very simple. The ultimate reason why local businessmen can't swallow the inventory of processing factories is that they have no money, so the government will lend them interest-free purchases.

Because Lucien's private property enjoys the government's tax-free policy, and the corpse of a monster is a zero-cost raw material mortgaged to Lucien by the county government, so the ex-factory price of the products in the processing factory can be kept very low and still profitable. Buy goods at a low price and sell them to outside chambers of commerce at a wholesale price slightly lower than the usual purchase price.

Of course, this method of government borrowing money can only be used as a temporary strategy to solve current problems and stimulate the economy in the short term. Long-term commercial loans require strict policies and regulations and a good market environment. Their capital is far from enough .

Even for such a short-term loan, Dalton also worked overtime in various meetings and inspections, and revised the loan contract one version after another, trying to block the possibility of the borrower reneging on the loan or using the loan for other purposes.

Doton is not worried about their lack of money. He is very sure about the purchasing willingness and purchasing power of external chambers of commerce. Earn a fortune.

Dalton reported the current progress to Lucien, how many chambers of commerce have applied for loans, how much each chamber of commerce has applied for in loans, and several external chambers of commerce have confirmed their purchase intentions, and will arrange people to come to inspect it in the near future purchase.

"..." Lucien flipped through Dalton's work report, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "What about after that?"

The outside chamber of commerce comes in. After the business is done, there are so many benefits that can be obtained, so people can’t just put on their pants and leave. In the long run, looking at the geographical conditions of Velveer, if they want to develop, they must be in line with these large Warcraft products. Dealers will make a good relationship.

With the sales channels and distribution volume of these large chambers of commerce, it is easy to swallow the shipments of the processing factories, but before Velvet did not have a centralized purchase and sales channel, and the monsters hunted by adventurers and mercenaries from the Moon Mountains and the Monster Forest It is small retail, and large chambers of commerce look down on that kind of bulk goods, and those who come to Velvet to purchase are basically small chambers of commerce or even individual traders.

Now that potential foreign investors are attracted by the shipments of the processing plant, it is necessary to seize the opportunity to show the development potential of the local area - the newly repaired wharf can dock large cargo ships, and the roads are spacious and flat enough to run eight horses. A large number of goods, the craftsman's craftsmanship is good and the price is cheap, backed by the Munn Mountains, there are rich resources of various monsters, the most important thing is that because the local area is so poor, the proportion of taxation by the empire is very low, and the lord is kind and kind. Overcharge miscellaneous taxes...

Dalton was lost in thought

……

Dalton understood.

The implication of the lord's words is that no matter what method he uses to cheat, he must catch a few rich and stupid people who continue to throw money at Velvet.

Then the best way is to draw a big cake.

No matter which world businessmen have a pleasing profit-seeking nature, they dare to take risks if there is a 50.00% profit, and they can step on the legal boundary to make money if there is a [-]% profit. For a profit of three hundred, they are willing to go to the gallows for that good money.

In other words, as long as the pie is big enough and delicious, there is no fear that no one will take the bait at the risk of losing everything.

In particular, the bigger the business, the more willing to take risks. Doton personally believes that to a certain extent, a businessman who gambles with red eyes is more dangerous than a mercenary who buys and sells human life.

Since you want to paint a cake, you need the audience to watch it, and you need the audience to gather together to influence each other—it’s like an auction, maybe something is not wanted or prepared to pay such a high price, but in the auction house In the competitive atmosphere created, the price will be called up unconsciously.

all in all……

"We're going to have a fair."

Dalton muttered to himself, "Let our merchants gather together to sell and display products, and then invite customers to come and buy... The place can be located near the wharf. We have built warehouses at the wharf. They are basically It comes by boat, and the goods are shipped directly to the ship after the deal is completed—if I would definitely like this, it saves time and is convenient, and I can inspect the goods on site.”

"That's right," he nodded to confirm his thoughts, "This also shows that we have high production capacity and a lot of inventory. We can fill up the short sale the day before and the next day, but we can't let them go to the processing factory. That kind of production The method is a commercial secret. Once it is promoted, the overall price will be lowered quickly, and our inventory will not be able to sell at the price. However, the low tax rate is still our advantage. The low product price plus their freight tax and commercial The part that can be saved in taxes can reduce their purchase cost by at least [-]%..."

Standing on the standpoint of the external chamber of commerce, Dalton murmured how much he could earn and save if he went to Velvetre, and the more he calculated, the more he felt that this piece of cake was genuine. It's silly X.

Lucien also actively participated in the topic, and proposed whether to make the fair a grand-sounding trade fair, and send invitations to everyone for an opening ceremony. As the lord, he went up and looked forward to the future. Everyone will eat, drink, and get acquainted with each other. If necessary, he can also write letters to his cheap father and cheap elder brother to act like a baby, and make an opening inscription to pull the royal banner to the town.

Lucien likes a smart subordinate like Dalton who takes the initiative to use his little brain. As long as he teaches more and makes people think about it in the long term, he will be healthy and his city construction speed will rise in the wind. A better life is just around the corner.

After a round of brainstorming with Lucien, Dalton himself went back to work overtime to sort out the one, two, three, and four points they mentioned. To hold such a large-scale exhibition, Lawrence and William needed To cooperate, Dalton had to seize the time when the two were free to discuss things, and then sum up a trade fair activity plan for Lucien.

In view of the fact that the people from the external chamber of commerce will come one after another in a few days, and the various preparations for the event's landing will also take time, so Doton only gave himself a day and a half to hold a meeting to revise and complete the plan.

Leave another half a day for the lord to review the plan, confirm the budget and produce the final version. They will work hard and work overtime so that they can start working on this matter the day after tomorrow.

This kind of efficiency was just a dream in the past, but in the current high-speed operation of Velvet County, this schedule sounds like there is still a little bit of leeway.

All the officials of the Velvet County government have been numb from Lucien's devilish work report, and they are forced to know their work situation to death, and the benefit of this pain is that there is no new pressure Everyone immediately knows which part of the work they want to do and how to do it, and thinks clearly in their heads how to arrange the resources in their hands to complete this task most efficiently.

——After finishing work early and going to bed early, and returning home from whatever shift, as long as they didn't get off work, they didn't go to work. Lawrence rolled up his bedding and slept in the office with his subordinates, racing against time to catch up on the time to go home after work.

The lord did not treat them badly in this regard, and specially assigned two maids to provide them with logistical support. Three meals a day, plus tea and supper were delivered to the desk to be fed or even fed to their mouths. Get into bed, the heater in the office is hot all day long, and you won't catch a cold if you take off your clothes. There are refreshing potions and recovery potions ready at all times, and anyone who fails will immediately drink a bottle.

Lucien here sincerely praises the greatness of magic. Although he has dissed the development of junk medicine in this world many times in his heart, refreshing potions and recovery potions are simply the dream drugs of capitalists. Using them together can make every worker zero zero. [-]. Efficient operation.

And the effect of the magic potion matches the elemental sensitivity of the user himself. In other words, the effect of using the magic potion will be better for the talented person. Lucien drinking the recovery potion is useless and has something to do with his own lack of talent, while Velvet's Officials are mostly from the middle and upper classes of society...

The worst one is also a mage apprentice.

This purchase of potions also made a small profit for the young mages in the mage union. Refreshing potions and recovery potions are the introductory content of pharmacy. It is very difficult to do well, but it is not difficult to make them. When Sean purchased the potion, he also gave them a small amount of money to study whether the taste of the potion could be improved.

Especially the recovery potion, Lucien has endured the weird smell of mud for many years.
