Chapter 141 Welfare Policy
Sevini put down the quill in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose lightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. |Music|Reading|Fiction .[2][3][][x].
When she opened her eyes again, she looked left and right to confirm that there was no one else in the city lord's office. She opened her arms and stretched vigorously.
Because of the comfort brought by the body stretch after stretching, Seweini felt a little better, but stuck out his tongue involuntarily, showing an embarrassed smile.
The strict education she received from growing up in the royal family made her always maintain a near-perfect image in front of other people. Even stretching, which ordinary people can do casually, for her, can only be done secretly in private when no one is around. one do.
Even so, it still made her feel like she had done something bad, and she felt a little sorry.
But this is also impossible, it is too tiring.
It was already the end of the year, and as the lord of Bangta City, Seweini had to complete a lot of work himself.
All kinds of miscellaneous things have accumulated together, and she has not been able to sleep well for nearly a week, so that she feels extremely tired now.
But after all, this is the first time she has come to Bangta City as the city lord, and she still bears the expectations of her father and king, so naturally she can't relax in the slightest.
For her, the best consolation is probably the amazing and pleasing changes that have taken place in Bangta City through various detailed report data during her work these days.
According to the annual financial statistics report of Bangta City, so far this year, the total tax revenue of Bangta City has exceeded 5.73 million gold coins.
And because the year isn't quite over yet. If the last month's tax is also counted. Then the annual total tax revenue of Banta City. It will definitely exceed a million gold coins!
And if it weren't for the fact that Earl Stark still adopted the policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture when he was the city lord in the first half of this year, the commercial tax of Bangta City would drop in the first half of the year.
Then, according to the trend in the second half of the year, the annual tax revenue of Bangta City may even exceed the 10 million gold coin mark!
Thinking of this number, Seweini only felt that there was a large piece of golden light in front of her eyes, which made her almost unbelievable.
You must know that the tax revenue of the entire Lampari Kingdom last year was only about two million gold coins.
But now it's just the city of Bangta City, and the tax collected may exceed 10 million gold coins.
Although in accordance with the provisions of the Kingdom Council. Each city in the kingdom only pays a small proportion of taxes to the kingdom's finances, but if every city in the kingdom of Lampari can earn more than 10 million gold coins in annual tax revenue like Bangta City, then the kingdom of Lampari Finances are bound to look quite different.
If the annual financial revenue of the Lampari Kingdom can exceed 10 million gold coins, instead of the pitiful one or two million gold coins in previous years, then the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom will definitely be greatly improved.
After all, being rich is a very important thing no matter for an individual or a country.
Of course, although the tax revenue of Bangta City is extremely high, correspondingly, a lot of money is spent.
Since Seweini took over as the city lord. The Bangta City renovation project that was previously stopped by Earl Stark started again. In the past six months, almost the entire Bangta City has become a huge construction site. Roads, buildings, and all kinds of new facilities are being built everywhere.
The overall renovation project of the city is extremely costly. In just half a year, more than 1.5 million gold coins have been invested.
According to estimates, in the next two to three years, a minimum of four million gold coins must be continuously invested in order to be initially completed.
Now that Bangta City's finances have been improved, many of them were thought of before but had no money to implement, or didn't think about it at all, and were later passed through Xu Yi's proposal. Various welfare policies for the residents of Bangta City have also been implemented one after another.
Naturally, these welfare policies are also extremely expensive, but Seweni has been unswervingly implementing them, so that even though the annual tax revenue of Banta City is extremely high, in fact, at the end of the year, the corresponding taxes are paid to the kingdom's treasury In the end, the money that Bangta City could keep for itself was only 1.2 million gold coins.
And now that the New Year is approaching, no matter how unwilling Seweney is, some necessary expenses for entertainment and communication will have to be spent.
By the beginning of next year, Seweney might not even have half a million gold coins in hand.
Thinking of this, Seweini shook his head with a wry smile.
"It's really the trouble of having no money and having no money, and the trouble of having money after having money."
Looking at the tax report, Seweney thought for a while, then closed the report, turned around and glanced out the window, and found that it was already noon, and today was a rare good weather in winter. It shines brightly.
After a little hesitation, Seweini got up and went to the lounge attached to the office to change into casual clothes and decided to go for a walk.
As soon as the door of the office was pushed open, several coordination affairs officers of the City Lord's Mansion outside were all stunned.
Seeing Sevini in casual clothes, the several affairs officers looked at each other, but they all just smiled and didn't say anything.
Her Royal Highness always stays in the office these days, and she is indeed too tired, so she should go for a walk.
Sevini smiled at them and nodded, took a scarf, wrapped his neck and the lower half of his face, and walked out from the back door of the Santo's Mansion.
In the city lord's mansion, the hustle and bustle outside can already be heard, but once you come to the street outside, there are crowds of people everywhere, and it is very lively.
The current resident population of Bangta City has exceeded an astonishing 300,000, plus some floating population that has not been counted, the people in and outside the city now may add up to more than 400,000.
This number is a very scary number for the Kingdom of Lampari, because even Anvilmar, the capital city known as the most prosperous and most populous in the Kingdom, has a population of only about 200,000 including statistics.
Of course, having such a large population must be due to the matching prosperity here.
No matter which street or alley in Bangta City is now crowded with people, and as long as it is along the street, all of them have been transformed into various shops. Dazzled.
In these shops, there are many luxuries that were considered untouchable by most residents of Bangta City before, and cost tens of gold coins or even hundreds of gold coins each.
But although these luxury goods are very expensive, the sales in Bangta City are very good.
Because according to the statistics made by the City Lord's Mansion, the per capita annual income of the residents of Bangta City has even exceeded 300 gold coins.
And when several people in a family add up, their annual income can even exceed 1,000 gold coins.
With such a good income as the foundation, tens of hundreds of gold coins a piece, a luxury that could only be bought by those big nobles and big businessmen to show off before, has become an ordinary item that many families in Bangta City can touch .
Seweney glanced at the past on the street, and he could find that the clothes and accessories worn by many young girls on the street were no worse than those in Anweimar City.
Although many girls are limited by their taste, the clothes and accessories they match are not very good in Seweney's opinion, but this means that they already have considerable financial strength.
As the lord of Banta City, Sevini was naturally very pleased to see such a situation.
After strolling on the street for a while, after walking through a street, Sevigny stood under a sign that said "San Lord's Mansion Station", patiently waiting for the arrival of the next bus, the magic locomotive.
"Hey, Ronnie, are you waiting for the bus too?" A fat middle-aged man walked past Sevini and greeted a thin man of about the same age standing behind her on the right.
The thin man showed a smile: "Yes, I'm going to the Valley of Falling Rain, how about you, Shaq?"
The fat young man named Shaq chuckled: "I don't want to go that far, I just go to the hospital outside the city."
"What? Are you sick?" Ronnie, the skinny man, asked in surprise.
"How come, you see I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"Then what did you go to the hospital for?" Ronnie was a little puzzled.
"Don't you know? The "Bangta Daily" reported some time ago that the City Lord's Mansion will implement the medical insurance system for the residents of Bangta City. As long as they are registered residents of Bangta City, each person only needs to pay five gold coins a year. You can enjoy this medical insurance. Yesterday’s "Bangta Daily" said that this system has been officially implemented, and I have to go to a hospital outside the city to go through the procedures, so I am not taking time to prepare to go. "
"Medicare?" Ronnie frowned. "What is this thing for? Do you want us to pay?"
"What? Are you still afraid of losing money? Let me tell you, this thing is very good. As long as you pay five gold coins this year, you can enjoy a whole year of unexpected discounts next year. Ten gold coins, right? With this medical insurance, you can get a 70% discount, so you only need to spend three gold coins. How about it? Isn’t it a good deal?”
"Really?" Ronnie was surprised and delighted. "There is such a good thing? What if I haven't been sick for a year?"
"Of course it's nothing if you don't get sick. You still want to get it back for you."
"For nothing?" The joy on Ronnie's face faded, and he said with some distress: "Then if you don't get sick next year, wouldn't you lose five gold coins for nothing?"
"I said you're still worried about this?" Shaq pouted. "Isn't it just five gold coins? Are you still short of this money? If you pay it, you can enjoy such a high discount. If you don't pay it, if you really need it, it will be called a big loss."
"Exactly..." Ronnie read the head. "Let me think about it... By the way, there is a deadline for applying for this thing, when is it?"
"The deadline is at the end of the year. If you want to think about it, read it quickly, so you don't miss it." Shaq urged.
"Okay, I'll think about it." (To be continued...)
