I am developing app in Pirate
Chapter 056
The project is free to co-work infrastructure, but… Water must cost money to buy such a thing.
Compared with trying to do everything you can in the past, even spending a lot of money to get water, sometimes spending money without water, now just paying a small water fee to be able to get water 24 hours a day, for the people of Alabastan, there is no better thing.
Fortunately, there are mobile phone headlines and mobile phone forums, so Will easily recruited a group of citizen scientists and inventors, although it is not comparable to Vegapunk, but at least it is also a group of scholars with mechanical or other research, and with a small amount of money, they are not much valued, and they are grateful for Dade’s work for Vir.
So the humble Royal Academy of Sciences was established.
The first thing invented at the king’s request was a special water meter adapted to Alabastan’s requirements.
And this water meter … It has long been thoroughly developed, and a factory has been established for mass manufacturing.
How much to pay, special water meters into the household, the collection of water fees has become simple, generally speaking, a family’s monthly water consumption charge is about a thousand Bailey.
This money has greatly exceeded imagination, and the officials of Alabastan never thought about it… The River of Life project can even make money?!
Including Nami in front of him, perhaps they think that the river of life is purely a benevolent king’s merciful love for his people.
But Vilsis knows that at the level of the state, there is no mercy in any action, and that any project is aimed at great benefits, but sometimes this benefit is not a direct wealth benefit, and the river of life is certainly no exception.
“There is actually such a thing as a water bill?!” Nami expressed shock, and then asked dryly, “How much is it?” ”
“If you calculate it per capita, the water bill for one person a month is about 500 Bailey.” Vir smiled.
It’s really not much, so little that almost anyone can easily afford it.
After all, a newspaper costs a hundred Baileys.
This is a desert country!
Nami calculated carefully.
“There are 220 million people in Alabastan, in fact, there is no way to count it, maybe it will be more if you count it seriously, even if you count it according to 200 million people… A year that’s … How much is this? Nami stammered.
“About 1.2 trillion Baileys, in fact, there is not so much at present, but as a necessity for survival, I think this number will be achieved in the near future.”
120 trillion Bailey?!
One year ???
A river of life project took more than 100 billion Baileys.
And then you earn back 1.2 trillion Baileys a year!
In just one year, you can earn back ten River of Life projects!
Fuji Hu, who has been listening to the conversation between the two on the side, can’t help but be moved, even if he has no concept of wealth, when he hears the number of one trillion Bailey, he will be scared and tremble, is this the ability to be a true king?!
How terrifying!
“You…” Nami looked at Vir a little creepy, and for the first time felt how terrifying this king, who only looked a little handsome, really was.
Murderous!
Incomparably ferocious!
This is no longer something that money can describe, he simply … It’s manipulating the world!
What is the concept of 1.2 trillion Bailey? Does the world government have so much money?
The answer is yes, even far beyond.
But that’s eight hundred years of accumulation by the world government, and Vir’s wealth is that as long as the country does not perish, there are so many every year!
In this world, including the world government, no one has ever built any infrastructure for ordinary people, and no one has ever profited from infrastructure, what they do is to give a piece of land to let people live freely, and then no matter what they do, they regularly collect taxes, and those who can’t afford taxes become slaves or banished from the city…
Just like the Goya Kingdom in the East China Sea, only a very small number of people actually live in the city, and how much tax can be collected?
These actions that Vir does have a term on earth called liberating productivity.
Probably?
“This 1.2 trillion,” Vir knocked on the table and said something that shocked Nami and Fujitora, “It’s going to be spent in a year.” ”
There is no doubt that it will be spent, because the basis of a country’s progress is to maintain fiscal balance, the so-called fiscal balance is how much tax is collected, all spent in a year is king, fiscal deficit or fiscal surplus is not a good thing.
“Are you crazy?” Nami asked dryly.
Fuji Hu’s heart is even more shocking, and at the same time there is an indescribable emotion and shame.
Because even he didn’t think of spending more than a trillion yuan at that moment, and this king could make a promise without hesitation, and he had no attachment to this heavenly wealth!
It’s simply a height that a hundred generals can’t do, you can imagine… If this king exists, what a rich and developed world the sea will become in the future, this king… Even if he tried his life, he would push him to the highest throne!
“Take from the people, use it for the people, Bailey is nothing in my hands, only when the country is strong is fundamental.” Vir was too lazy to explain too much to this idiot, after all, there was too much economic knowledge involved.
And he doesn’t want to use Bailey anymore, he wants to issue new coins in Alabastan completely!
With the conflict between two currencies, there is an opportunity to manipulate currencies and exchange rates, and he will show the world government how terrible the power of finance really is.
After less than three months, the River of Life project finally completed the final construction with the support of Vir, and all that remained was the maintenance work for a long time.
This also allowed Alabastan to solve a large part of the work problem, because to maintain this huge project, at least more than 50,000 plumbers were required to work at the same time, so the water supply bureau also came into being, and the salary of 50,000 people a year alone cost tens of billions of Baileys.
But in Vir’s view, this is already cheap labor.
He will continue to expand the River of Life project and recruit another 50,000 plumbers!
Finally, the desert was completely transformed.
In fact, at this time, the huge desert has changed its appearance, thirty-four cities because of enough water supply, soon formed thirty-four oases, from the distant sky above Alabastan, you can see pieces of green sitting in the desert, like emeralds set in gold.
At this point, Vilsis completely ruled the country, not only the people, but also the army and the previous rebels.
Speaking of the world ruled by the world government, each country still has its own army.
However, because a huge amount of tax called Heavenly Gold is offered to the Draco every year in exchange for the protection of the world government, the armies of many countries can only be described as shabby.
The reason why Alabastan can have an army of 600,000 people is actually inseparable from the invisible welfare impact of not having to pay heavenly gold.
