Conquer Another World From the Beginning of the Game
Chapter 99: The mayor is hard to be
Chapter Ninety Nine
Ouyang went offline at noon, and went online after four o'clock in the afternoon when the event was over.
He was offline in Westham, and he was still in Westham.
The street scene of the small town in the early morning didn't have any appeal to Ouyan, he didn't even show up the line, and passed directly back to the town of exile.
Coming out of the Cross Street Teleportation Point in Exile Town, Ouyang opened his personal panel and checked his character's value.
"ID: Owl"
"Race: Undead"
"Sex: Male"
"Level: Two"
"Potential value: 124"
Ouyan turned off the panel silently...
Although playing a game is like a stand-alone player, and living alone is like a hermit among players, of course, Ouyang has a heart to dominate.
His potential value is at this stage of the game, sling a piece of children, after all, the player's force is still at the 70-80 potential node.
But... in terms of potential ranking, Eugene can't even get into the top three...
Ji Tang, the first player in the game, has a potential value of 168. Yiqi Juechen leads the way, and even jealousy can't come.
That's all, after all, Ji Tang is an ex-special force who can't even name the army he serves. Although Ji Tang himself has never admitted, it does not prevent players from putting the label of a soldier on his forehead.
The most painful thing is that the second and third places in the potential value cannot be considered pure players.
The two uncles in the canteen of the Chamber of Commerce have an ID called Lao Geng's Uncle Geng with a potential value of 141 and an ID called Master Liu's uncle with a potential of 130.
Players go to the Chamber of Commerce canteen to search for tasks, change materials and equipment, as long as they see their data, they are very sad and inexplicable... and they are very reconciled that these two uncles can’t control the data and they won’t be able to beat the players. I couldn't keep up, and I was embarrassed to be angry at the elders who were obviously not here to play the game.
Uncle Geng and Uncle Liu go online every day to go around the canteen, cook for the NPCs in the town, and exchange materials and equipment for them. Players need to sacrifice the game experience to exchange for them, and the players may not necessarily Hard work.
Anyway, these two uncles don’t rob the players to do the task of robbing monsters, cheating for numerical cheating...
Ou hadn't had much thought of competing with these two canteen masters. Every time I saw them, they were quite calm.
As soon as Ouyang entered the canteen of the Chamber of Commerce with a half-bag of grasshoppers on his back, Master Liu saw him and greeted him warmly: "Here is my little brother, what are you sending this time?"
Ouyang looked around, walked to the bowl and chopsticks cabinet, took a plastic basin, poured out the grasshopper in the bag, and showed it to Master Liu.
"Can you still catch this thing? Did you go to Westham to catch it?" Master Liu pinched a grasshopper with two finger bones in surprise, "Oh, it's quite big!"
Lao Geng, who was busy steaming steamed buns (also a quick-frozen product), walked around behind the half-open kitchen counter, wiped his hand on the waist cloth, and also picked up a grasshopper and looked at it: "It's okay, Lao Liu, This one will be delicious if it is coated in salt and deep-fried."
Master Liu didn't rush to answer, instead he used an appraisal technique first with a tool-like quality-their NPC panel also had a player skill panel-to make sure that the grasshopper was identified as a white character, and then he readily accepted: "Okay, it works, I'll check the scale. Brother, do you want to change your reputation this time?"
Ouyang nodded.
There are currently two ways to gain the prestige of "Undead Chamber of Commerce", one is to visit the quest of the Chamber of Commerce canteen, and the other is to submit materials.
The life skills of a butcher trained by Ou Jian, almost all the "products" produced in the canteen are accepted here, so you don't need to run to squat tasks, so they can be faster than ordinary players...
Master Liu accepted most of the grasshoppers, and skillfully opened the tool panel: "Oh, brother, plus this time your reputation is friendly, yes, you are the first."
Ouyang has been opening the panel. As the new reputation is accounted for, his reputation bar rushes to full and friendly. The options for redeeming specified materials, potions, equipment, and props popped up, and an option to hire NPCs was added. There was a burst of excitement.
You must know that the reputation of the Undead Chamber of Commerce is not easy to brush, and the tasks sent every day are very limited.
Hand in materials for exchange, the Chamber of Commerce canteen does not accept all materials like other NPC prestige—they only accept the ingredients that can be used here.
"Huh? Someone is friendly?"
Behind the semi-open kitchen counters, two players' round skull heads appeared immediately: "Who is so fast---ah, big fish!"
"I was still a step ahead of you." Teacher Yuchi, who has been staying in the cafeteria for a long time, said regretfully, "I also said that I will be the first to be the first friend after cleaning today's cafeteria."
"You're coming too, Yuchi, it's only 200 points away." Master Liu said with a smile, "Just Miss Xiaoliu is much worse, more than a thousand more."
Sister Liu Meng scratched her head in embarrassment: "Oh, the expedition mission has been delayed these days."
Ouyang nodded friendly to the two female players... They were all fellow travellers of the Liver Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, another toolman player appeared from the side door of the semi-open kitchen: "Someone will help to lift the water, the water tank is empty."
"I'll come, I'll come." Sister Liu Meng immediately ran over lively.
The newly-appearing tool person in the Chamber of Commerce canteen, whose ID is Ye Zhenzhen, and his real name is Zhao Zhenzhen, is the eldest sister of Yujieyin. Seeing Ouyang standing outside the counter, she greeted him: "If you do not do the task, just come here. ."
Without a word, Ouyang went into the kitchen immediately.
He came up to send the grasshoppers at this point, in fact, he wanted to see if he could get into the cafeteria...
Zhao Zhenzhen went online during the second expedition mission. At that time, players focused on the expedition mission, and did not notice that the shady "uncle party" had an additional general. Otherwise, it is estimated that the player forum will again You have to brush up the spray for a while-Zhao Zhenzhen also obviously "cheated" on the potential value as soon as he entered the game, with an initial potential of 122 points.
Around 7:30 in game time, the NPCs who stayed behind in the town came over to eat one after another.
The players' tasks only include preparing meals, washing dishes and cleaning these tasks do not have to be done by them. Teacher Yuchi, who has a child, greeted Sister Liu Meng and hurried off the line to cook.
Sister Liu Meng was not idle either, she packed up and prepared to send to Westham to take over the cooking task over there.
"Big Brother Ouyang going together?" Sister Liu Meng greeted her politely before leaving.
Ouyang shook his head to express his refusal, and turned around and went to the butcher's workshop... He still didn't want to hang out with people, it was too much trouble.
When the players were gone, the three tool men from the Chamber of Commerce canteen got together and met their heads to whisper.
"Xiao Zhao, what are the circumstances at the institute, don't you arrange a helper?" Old Geng lowered his voice.
"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhao Zhenzhen said, "My helmet has been squeezed out by Director Lu by all means. Now the helmet is not enough, and patients waiting for clinical stimulation are waiting in line."
"It's really trouble..." Old Geng groaned and said, "Otherwise, I think this little girl Liu Meng has a lot of online time, she has a simple mind, and she likes to be a pot stove. Look, you can develop her."
Master Liu shook his head and said, "That's not right, Brother Geng, how smart the young people are now, and they have a lot of contact with them. Maybe you can see the problem. You can't go to this little girl in reality and ask someone to sign for confidentiality. Agreement?"
"What can't be done, college students are not looking for a job after graduation, and it will be over if they are specially recruited." The old Geng's bone claw waved in a particularly magnificent manner.
Zhao Zhenzhen couldn't laugh or cry: "Uncle Geng, our department has regulations..."
"What are the rules and regulations? We didn't have so many rules at that time." The old grudge said with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, brother Geng, the times are different~" Master Liu quickly rounded off, "The young people today are not the same as the young people before, they are very flexible in their minds. Anyway, in addition to the players, they can also consider the locals. It’s a town over there with a lot of local people, so we can develop it a little bit—"
"I can't understand each other's speeches, how can I develop local people?" Old Geng frowned.
Master Liu smiled and winked at Zhao Zhenzhen: "Brother Geng doesn't understand, you must understand, don't you, Xiao Zhao?"
Zhao Zhenzhen can't laugh or cry again...
The player has no temper with the old brothers, and she has no temper, especially Liu Gong. This uncle is really better than a monkey. Players can hire NPCs. Of course, Ji Tang, who gets the mayor, also has solutions with NPCs. The method of communication; it's just that their purpose of contacting NPCs is completely different from that of players, and they need to be kept secret.
Lao Geng frowned and looked at Zhao Zhenzhen, and then at Lao Liu who was smiling. He understood that Zhao Zhenzhen had already found a solution to the problem, and Lao Liu also guessed it, but both of them were there trying to pretend to be confused and not follow. He ventilates.
Lao Geng is not easy to trouble Zhao Zhenzhen, and only points to Lao Liu: "Okay, good old Liu, don't tell me anything, just let me worry about it here!"
Master Liu just shook his head and smiled.
Six o'clock in the afternoon Earth time, and eleven o'clock noon in alien time.
Zhao Zhenzhen, riding a tricycle full of goods, appeared at the teleportation point in the middle of the town hall compound of Westham.
The teleportation array, which is actually a summoning array, can not only summon the player, but also the materials carried by the player. As long as the object is not larger than a two-and-a-half-meter-diameter array, it can be teleported together with the player, eliminating the need for Westham also made trouble with the Magic Array Freezer.
Zhao Zhenzhen had already come to Westham to "step on a point" before, and rode out of the town hall in Westham on a tricycle. After a while, he found the Avenue in the town in a small two-story half-timbered building. The half-masonry structure stopped in front of the ancient style building.
This middle-aged building was originally a bar. At the moment, the bar shop’s signboards, colored lights, internal private compartments, bar counters, etc. have been demolished, and a chamber of commerce cafeteria Westham branch has been hung up. Sign up...
Ji Tang, who was waiting in front of the canteen branch, waited for the tricycle to stop, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "Sister Zhao, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Zhao Zhenzhen shook Xia Jitang's hand, then took his hand to pull the person over and hugged him vigorously.
Both of them have military temperament, but Zhao Zhenzhen is obviously not an ordinary soldier, she feels more restrained.
Ji Tang gave Zhao Zhenzhen the newly-changed key, and led her inside to recognize her: "These two are here to help in the cafeteria. This is Lika and this is Brook."
Lika and Brook both wore azalea badges on their chests, and there was no obstacle in communication, and they bowed rigorously to Zhao Zhenzhen.
Zhao Zhenzhen smiled and nodded to the young Brooke. When he looked at Lika, his eyes lit up: "Hello, my surname is Zhao, you can call me Sister Zhao like Ji Tang."
The young Brooke was a bit highly inspired. Although the undead lady in front of him had a brisk voice and approachable attitude, she gave him an unfathomable feeling... He swallowed and said with a little fear and authenticity: "Okay, Ms. Zhao."
"Just call Sister Zhao." Zhao Zhenzhen hadn't seen such a beautiful little boy in reality, so he slapped the young man's head.
"Sister Zhao." Rika said obediently.
"Eh." Zhao Zhenzhen nodded happily, and squeezed the orc girl's cheek, "Look at this thin man, his face is not as big as a palm, do you have any good food in ordinary times?"
"Eat, every meal is full." Lika said more and more well-behaved.
The inspiration of the orcs is also very strong, Lika instinctively feels that the undead lady in front of her body is deep and more terrifying than that of Hal who often has a fierce look...
Westem is waiting to be thriving, Ji Tang still has a lot of things to do. Zhao Zhenzhen came to Westem not purely to manage a canteen. He left the store preparation to the two young coolies, Zhao Zhenzhen’s canteen. The person in charge of the branch... was taken to the town hall by Ji Tang.
In the mayor’s office, Ji Tang took out a thick stack of paper documents and said, “The files left by the previous mayor, the last time the census was done was more than 20 years ago. Many people in the files The new population has passed away and the new population is not on file. Now the townspeople are more resistant to us. Many people are unwilling to accept the census. When the clerk knocks on the door, they either pretend not to be at home or are unwilling to tell the truth about their population... Mass work still has to be done."
Zhao Zhenzhen looked over and said, "There is no poll tax in this place?"
"No." Ji Tang said, "The urban population tax in the Rhine Kingdom is collected on a family basis, based on the income of the oldest male owner in the family. I wondered, this tax policy is tilted towards the top, and I read it. I used the Innadeli newspaper ordered by the former mayor. Those aristocratic families are very powerful. There are hundreds of thousands of people in a family. Except for the oldest male owner, everyone else does not have to pay taxes on their personal income. The operating space has increased."
Zhao Zhenzhen said hey, not too surprised...
The experts of the institute are working hard to decipher the words of this world. Ji Tang, who can only be read in the “game”, has recorded many videos of reading newspapers for the experts to refer to. Zhao Zhenzhen also came into contact with some of these videos.
In Zhao Zhenzhen’s view, this world that seems to have a certain technological content and a system of civilization is a deformed pyramid society of semi-feudalism and semi-capitalism. It not only entrusts the country and the people, but also holds the lifeline of the economy; the root system of feudal power grows, and the branches of capital plunder are born. It is strange not to abuse power madly.
"Weak stems and strong branches, it's no wonder the lord Yang Gan has so boldly tore away a piece of people's land." Zhao Zhenzhen threw away these useless files and said, "Do you have tax authority for the mayor?"
"No." Ji Tang shook his head, "but don't worry about this. Lord Yang Fangquan has given Charlie Rex to not interfere with Rex's governance of Westem. Rex communicated with me. Carrying out the taxation policy of the Rhine Kingdom, urban residents do not charge population tax, and family tax is also abolished. We have the opportunity to encourage the people to separate their families from a policy perspective."
When Ji Tang got the mayor, the expert group discussed how to turn Westem into a gateway for Chinese people to see and influence the other world...
The mass line must be taken. This is the consensus of the Huaxia people.
The first step in the mass line of the urban population is to separate the extended family. After Ji Tang failed to try to recruit more workers, this policy was raised as the highest priority.
The Rhine people are accustomed to living in a big family out of tax countermeasures. In the original environment, this is indeed the best solution to the survival risk-there are many people and the power is big. This principle is common in all the worlds.
However, if a small society consists of three generations, a dozen or even dozens of large families, the small society will be more conservative, exclusive, and exclusive.
When hiring sanitation workers and garbage station workers, because the red light district was cancelled, some of the townspeople who made a living relying on selling alcohol and food in the red light district and providing shoe-shining, car-washing and laundry services were eager to find a way to survive, even if they did not trust the new town hall to survive. On salary days, I am willing to sign up for two working meals a day.
When Ji Tang took the advice given by the expert group to find Rex, discussed a plan to solve the employment rate of the townspeople, and then posted a notice to recruit young and strong workers... no one came.
The security squad that replaced the militia, and a new lord can transform back to the previous militia, and the job can be served. After all, whoever takes over Westem needs local youth to ensure the most basic security work.
For ordinary workers, the future is hard to say... Even if young people who have nothing to do at home want to try, family members will dissuade them.
"First consider gaining the trust of the townspeople." Zhao Zhenzhen said, "What is the advice given to you by the expert group in this regard?"
"Recruiting temporary workers on a daily basis." Ji Tang said, "The reconstruction of Zhenzhong Avenue still requires a lot of manpower, and it is unrealistic to rely on players. Taking this as a breakthrough point, recruit temporary workers from the townspeople and settle the salary on a daily basis. It will be implemented for about half a month, and the townspeople are used to coming to Zhenzhong Avenue to work and receive money, and then start recruiting contract workers."
"Then do that first." Zhao Zhenzhen nodded, "There are still a large number of rural people out there. What about the rural areas?"
"We can't do rural construction yet, but we can try to get in touch with the village first." Ji Tang said, "The expert group's suggestion is to take advantage of the autumn harvest, it is better to take out the grain purchase policy first to solve the problem of farmers paying taxes. ."
The Rhine Kingdom adopted a unified family taxation policy for the non-agricultural population. No matter how common people do to avoid taxation in large families, they cannot avoid the aristocracy with a larger population. For the agricultural population, the eleven tax is adopted.
Don't get me wrong, this does not mean that farmers only need to pay 10% of their crops...but at the same time pay 10% of their income to the king, church, and local lords.
It can't be a tax in kind, it must be paid.
Farmers need to sell at least 50% of their crops during the autumn harvest to the grain merchants sent by the local lord, so that the money sold is enough to pay the agricultural tax; if there was a big harvest that year and the price of food was low, then 50% of the crops would not be enough to fill this. pit……
During the reign of Baron Marcus, all farmers in Westham had to sell their grains to the butlers who were sent by Baron Marcus to collect the grains. They could easily suppress the price of grains and easily credit large sums of gold coins—or this The nobles of the world are so persistent in pursuing fiefdoms! Who doesn't like the fact that every year the autumn harvest can earn a lot of money without losing money?
Rex replaced Baron Marcus. The "share" of the "local lord" can be cancelled, and the part paid to the king and the church must be indispensable. After all, Westham has not raised the anti-ban... The key point of peeling off a layer of skin is to solve their most headache problems for local farmers, and it must be able to quickly gather the hearts of the rural population.
After hearing these words, Zhao Zhenzhen was silent for a moment... faintly said: "This step... is a bit difficult."
Ji Tang also nodded painfully.
The solution is a good solution. The problem is that the mayor Ji Tang has no money in his hands-the mayor has the right to control the income from land sales and taxes, and both of them are temporarily invisible!
Rex, Lord Westem, fully supported Ji Tang, but he only had the tens of thousands of copper coins on hand, not a single word.
More than a dozen villages and thousands of farmers in Westham want to spend a lump sum of money to gather the crops produced by these farmers. The copper coins that Rex has on hand are not worth it!
When the player liberated Westem, the big bonus was taken away by the lord Yang-it was not that difficult to get money out of this guy's pocket!
"Let Rex convince Lord Yang?" Zhao Zhenzhen said.
"I tried, Rex... I dare not take this." Ji Tang said more solemnly.
It's true that Rex is a good person, but a good person doesn't mean that he has no brains-the purchase of all the farmers in the entire Westham Territory does not produce a few large gold coins. He doesn't think he has such a big face with Yang!
"Well...then we have to figure out a solution." Zhao Zhenzhen touched his skull with a headache.
"This world, it should be August now." Ji Tang said, "The local lord needs to send the local tax to Inadelli before October, but there is still time."
"Then do what Rex's copper coin can do first." Zhao Zhenzhen nodded.
Next, the two national teams began to calculate the manpower needed to renovate the Zhenzhong Avenue, how much daily salary is appropriate for temporary workers,
While thinking about how to use the money in Rex's hands more effectively, Zhao Zhenzhen suddenly heard a "ding" in his ear.
This eldest sister hadn't played the game before entering "Alien World", and she was stunned to remember that there was a prompt on the "Tools" panel, and she quickly called out the panel.
Then Zhao Zhenzhen's eyes were a little straight...
"Sister Zhao?" Ji Tang said strangely.
"...I received an, uh, system prompt." Zhao Zhenzhen said blankly, "The branch of the Chamber of Undead Chamber of Commerce outside Tarantan is a non-profit-making unit and is responsible for the profit and loss during the business period."
Ji Tang: "..."
"It means that the canteen branch here needs to pay for the ingredients from the town of exile... you will be at your disposal for the profitable part?" Ji Tang said with a twitch of his mouth.
Zhao Zhenzhen nodded.
There was a moment of silence for the two of them...
To classify Westem’s canteen division as a profitable unit means that the lord Yang defaults that Zhao Zhenzhen, a "tool man", has the right to control the profit of the canteen division.
This, of course, is not the kindness of the lord Yang Sudden, who gave the tool man a degree of freedom.
This lord, who can monitor all players with unscientific magic means, clearly indicates that they are "conspiring" in the town hall: You want to use money to gain the hearts of the people, the old man has no objection. I figured out how to earn the funds by myself, so I don't want to take half a gold coin from the old man.
