Star Tycoon

Chapter 145 The Unchangeable Laws

[Warehouse] A building for storing supplies. A level 1 warehouse has a space of 500 square meters. Construction requires one cubic meter of wood, one cubic meter of soil, and 2000 copper coins. It takes 12 hours to build.

Tian Ersan wasn't regretting it afterward; he genuinely didn't have the money to build the warehouse.

Now most people's morale has been restored, and they have begun to pay taxes steadily.

Two thousand is still quite a distance away.

The major taxpayers are still in the recovery period.

Tian Ersan sighed and walked towards the fertile fields outside.

There was only one resident left in the house in the city, while a group of villagers were chatting together near the resource fields outside.

Tian Ersan walked over, his face looking very unwell.

"What are you doing here? Don't you know how to protect our belongings?"

Wang Helu said, "There's no warehouse. We can't move things, and the granary is full. We don't know where to put them."

Wang Huaixin, an eighty-year-old man, shouted, "My lord, don't ask for too much. We've already done more than enough by hiding in our rooms to avoid trouble!"

The Wang family had been taxed for four months, and now, in just the third month, public morale had recovered from seventy to eighty percent, but then they encountered the recent misfortune, and it's estimated that it won't even reach eighty percent.

Tian Ersan is currently short of money for development. He's been so worried about money lately that he can't sleep and has lost interest in women.

"What do we do now? We've run out of money to develop our business!"

Tian Ersan looked at the group of more than twenty people with anticipation in his eyes!
At this moment, Tian Ersan desperately wished for someone to offer loyal advice and strategies.

Unfortunately, a large group of people around him were all badly injured by him...

Everyone looked at their lord calmly.

Wang Helu, who enjoys the highest popular support, said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord. There's always a way out. Let's take it slow, and we'll definitely be able to solve any problem!"

The Wang family remained silent; this young man was simply behind on his taxes.

After being taxed for a few months, the smiles will be gone.

Tian Ersan looked at the four alloy brothers. Although public support for these four people had not yet returned to its peak, they had already started paying taxes normally.

The four alloy brothers all avoided his gaze, and even Wang Hejin, who had told Tian Ersan that taxes could be levied, refused to say anything at this moment.

Tian Ersan then looked at Wang Guodong, this pillar of the nation, who paid taxes for three people, six copper coins a day!
Wang Guodong also lacked the awareness to voluntarily pay taxes, and the public's support was less than 100%.

Especially after taxes have been levied, the recovery period is very long.

Left with absolutely no other choice, Tian Ersan had no choice but to stop being human!
"A tax-collecting millionaire, one year!"

Copper coins +1460!!
[With taxation successfully levied, the wealthy man's public support has dropped to zero, and with public support at its maximum, he may flee at any time.]

Tian Ersan had already mentally prepared himself. "I might as well run. I can't wait any longer!"

In villages, retribution comes quickly.

The wealthy man fled, causing the remaining villagers' morale to drop by 5.

Tian Ersan discovered that the old man had really run away!

One less villager!

Sure enough, this village was quite strange. Not only did it rain dumplings from the sky, but the people's reactions were also extremely rapid. They would run away or turn against each other in an instant.

"Ah Lu, is the drop in public support your team at its maximum or just average?"

Wang Helu's popularity was above 90, and he replied, "It's normal. If nothing happens, it will recover slowly. If we have nothing to do for a day, it recovers by 1 point. If we work for a day and there are no accidents, it can recover by 2 points."

Tian Ersan felt that things were reversed. "Why do you recover slowly if you don't work? You recover quickly if you work. Don't you all want to avoid working?"

Wang Hexi answered honestly, "I don't know, but that's just who we are."

Tian Ersan accepted this explanation, raised his hand, and shouted, "Build the warehouse! Let's get to work!"

A large group of people quickly went to work.

What's left are women and children who can't work.

The wealthy man who couldn't work ran away, and the Wang family patriarch, who also couldn't work, was assigned by Tian Ersan to guard the company's gate.

There is still one person who pays taxes but does not work!

Wang Li: Aunt Wang, 55 years old, pays 1 copper coin in taxes, does not work, does not serve in the military, and does not run away.

Tian Ersan and the middle-aged woman made eye contact for a second.

"tax!"

Copper coins +365!

Taxation can be addictive, and Tian Ersan soon set his sights on the village's major taxpayers.

Wang Youli: An 88-year-old man who pays 8 copper coins in taxes, who neither works nor serves in the military nor runs away.

"tax!"

Copper coins +2920!

tax!

tax!

crazy!

In a fit of rage, Tian Ersan borrowed money from Wang Guodong and Wang Helu again.

They pieced together every penny, like a little boy going online or a gambler desperate to gamble, turning everything upside down to find money.

real estate!
real estate!!

Do you know how hot the real estate market is?

“Build four farmhouses!!”

Tian Ersan used all his money to build rural houses and develop real estate.

A house costs 3,000 yuan and has 5 people. It requires resources and a lot of construction time. The people created can only engage in construction and cannot collect resources.

Farmhouses cost 1,000 yuan per person, which can produce a large number of three-capable personnel. There are no resource costs, only 1,000 yuan is needed, and the construction time is only a short while. There is no need to send people to build houses.

The four farmhouses were built quickly.

Eight people emerged from the four adjacent farmhouses.

Tian Ersan looked at the eight people, big and small, young and old.

"Introduce yourself."

The oldest man was hunched over, holding his six-year-old grandson in both hands.

"My lord, I am seventy years old. I pay six taxes every day. I am not a soldier. I can work and I will not run away. My grandson and I only eat 10 catties of grain each day. After we are full, the rate at which the people's morale recovers increases by one every day. I beg you, my lord, to give me some food!"

Tian Erda was overjoyed. He could actually work? "Great! I guarantee you'll have food to eat! Our village needs someone like you! From now on, you'll be called..."

I've actually thought of a name, but the surname is a bit of a problem.

There are too many people with the surname Wang.

Forget it, I'll just keep the surname Wang. There are plenty of people with that surname anyway.

"Wang Youcai! Your grandson's name is Wang Xinfang!"

Wang Youcai said happily, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, my lord! I have something to tell you. If the grain is stored in the granary, we can all have enough to eat. If the grain is stored in my home, my grandson and I can both have enough to eat. This way, the people's hearts will not be affected by those whose hearts are declining."

Tian Ersan suddenly realized that he knew that if the grain was stored in the granary, everyone else would have food to eat, but he hadn't expected that if the grain was stored at home, people wouldn't rebel with those who had no food.

"Alright! I'll get you food so you can all have enough to eat!"

The women and children in the neighborhood who weren't working were overjoyed, exclaiming, "Thank you, my lord!"

Tian Ersan then looked at the other three households.

Two elderly farmers in their forties or fifties and a young man
Wang Zhongmin: His family consumes 18 jin of grain per day and produces 3 copper coins per day. He is a soldier, capable of working, and comes with his own wife.
Wang Shumin consumes 10 jin of grain per day and produces 2 copper coins per day. He is a suitable soldier and capable of working.

Wang Xiaomin consumes 20 jin of grain per day and produces 4 copper coins per day. He is a soldier, hardworking, and will not desert. He comes with his 18-year-old wife, Bai Xiumei, and their one-month-old baby, Wang Xiaoqiang.

Tian Ersan hurriedly harvested wheat in the field. The wheat from five nearby farmlands had just been blown away, but the yield in one hour was enough to feed the whole family.

While harvesting wheat and giving it to the people in the fields to take back to their own homes, they also fostered social harmony and casual conversation.

The public sentiment was different for each person after they came out. The old man was satisfied quickly, but the other three men were not satisfied until they carried three or four hundred catties of grain home.

"My lord, I have something to tell you: something good will happen during the New Year!"

"My lord, I have something to tell you: you can study all the books at the academy!"

"My lord, let me tell you something: taverns are for the living, and altars are for the dead!"

Tian Ersan nodded and remembered these things.

Soon, Tian Ersan also told them something.

But he didn't say it aloud.

tax!

tax!

tax!

tax!

Copper coins +2700!

Half a year's tax!
The four smiling elderly, middle-aged, and young people quickly stopped smiling, their faces drooping, their fists clenched, but they soon relaxed.

40% drop in public support in 6 months!

The four people who were sixty years old quickly and honestly got to work. Even though they had food at home and jobs, they still endured it.

Tian Ersan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the population working outside the city was almost enough. He would come over and build another house when he had enough resources in a few days.

The attention of the young women, older sisters, and younger sisters who were collecting grain at the village entrance quickly shifted to the young girl's mother holding a swaddled baby.

"Xiaomei, will the children here grow up?"

Wang Xiaomin's wife, Bai Xiumei, nodded. "Yes, as long as there is food at home and in the warehouse, the child will grow up slowly. He just can't pay taxes or work. He can only take over the family business after his father passes away."

Tian Ersan thought that the people here were immortal.

"It would be good if you could grow up, but would you grow up as fast as the average person outside?"

Tian Ersan needs to confirm that the wheat here is different from the wheat outside, and the people here are not the same kind of people as those outside.

Bai Xiumei said with a smile, "Once you go out, it'll be the same as outside. If you stay here, it'll be pretty much the same as here. When I say 'gone,' I don't mean 'dead,' but it means 'gone.' When he goes to join the army, he's gone. Then the children will have to take over as farmers as soon as possible."

“If the child is gone, we women will work and pay taxes just like Li Cuihua. If there are no men to work in the village, we will run away to other places and become migrants, just like Li Cuihua.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Ersan understood that these people who appeared were all prospective citizens!

And there might be a hidden setting!
The more men there are, the more women there will be!

The more women there are, the more women there will be!

The fewer men there are, the more women there will be!

The fewer women there are, the more women there will be!

When Li Chuhong arrived, Li Cuihua was not there; she was the only woman in the entire village.

Wang Guodong's wives all came after Li Chuhong, and then each household had more prospective women.

"Alright! You've got nothing to do here, come with me!"

Tian Ersan brought along several prospective and official civilians.

18-year-old Bai Xiumei and her child.

Wang Xinmei, 18 years old; Wang Xinli, 16 years old; Wang Xinqi, 9 years old; and Wang Xinfang, 6 years old.

Aunt Wang Li, a 55-year-old woman who pays one copper coin in taxes, doesn't work, doesn't serve in the military, and can't run away.

There were too many people to arrange, so we waited until evening and had Wang Ernong drive them to Wangzhuang.

In the Wangzhuang mansion, several teenagers, and even children as young as a few years old, took on tasks such as program development and website construction.

In the small county of Tao, it won't be long before we can assemble a top-notch development team of one hundred IT professionals!

And the average age... is probably less than eighteen.

Tian Ersan was no longer thinking about the company's development; instead, he was constantly calculating the best taxation plan with a calculator.

There are no more people in the village who are popular with the villagers; there are only two people with more than 80% popular support.

Apart from Li Cuihua and Li Chuhong, who didn't have much profit to offer, the rest were all taken away once or twice.

We are still severely short of money; we are short far too much.

Taxation cannot be stopped.

When Hua Linyan went to the office to hand in the documents, she looked at Tian Ersan, who hadn't spoken to them in the past four or five days.

Hua Linyan asked softly, "Mr. Tian, ​​will house prices rise?"

Tian Ersan paused for a moment, looked up at the married woman, quickly put the calculator back in the cabinet, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"meeting."

Hua Linyan pressed further, "Will housing prices drop?"

Tian Ersan sighed and shook his head, "I can't stop."
