Star Tycoon

Chapter 151 The Governing Hall

Tian Ersan began to delegate authority, giving the company's business and power to women.

Li Cuihua, Li Chuhong, Wang Xinmei, Wang Xinli, Bai Xiumei, Fu Weihou, Zhang Shuxia, Zong Meili.

This doesn't even include the children.

All the bigwigs in the internet industry thought this company was doomed…

However, many schools have taken the initiative to invite this well-funded company to conduct campus recruitment.

Tian Ersan had no interest in these things; he stopped posting videos every day, and no one knew what he was busy with at the company.

Everyone knows what he's busy with, and everyone knows he treats the company like a harem!
On the last day of May, Tian Ersan went to bed early as usual.

This floor is all the lounges for ministers, and eight women work on this floor. Meanwhile, two children, Cheng Shuangyue and Cheng Shuangxing, are watching surveillance footage from their beds in the hallway.

The job of the two "one tax, three no's" twins is surveillance. They can quickly find anyone in the office who is watching inappropriate videos, stealing company information, or whose chat content contains sensitive words, and then view it on their screens simultaneously.

Their mother, Zong Meili, spends all her time surfing the internet, showing off her easy daily life without having to do any work, and boasting about her salary and benefits, enjoying the envy and jealousy of others.

Yibing Wang Ernong, on the other hand, patrols the company with great energy every day, and his position is the head of the security department.

Under the cover of a large group of people, Tian Ersan lay down and went to sleep.

The trading merchant has arrived here and will remain for seven days.

The traders have left; since no trade took place, they won't be returning this year.

A migrant worker arrived here, hoping to find work.

[You hesitated to accept him, and when he tried to abduct some of the village children to escape, he was discovered and killed. You received 100 copper coins.]

A swarm of locusts passed by, reducing wheat production and decreasing grain yield by 50 cubic meters.

Tian Ersan quickly headed into the city, and on the way, he saw Wang Guodong and others coming over and asked them what had happened.

"Why was so much food reduced?"

Wang Guodong said with a displeased look, "Ten plots of farmland, that's about 300 square meters a month. Is 50 square meters less really a lot?"

Tian Ersan continued walking towards the city. The morale of these people was still the same as at the beginning of the month. It would be at least five o'clock tomorrow before things improved slightly.

The ten female warriors of the Yang family were paid ten taxes every day, which amounted to three hundred taxes per month.

The taxation brought many negative consequences; men refused to come. Tian Ersan, now accepting his fate, bore the consequences.

Regardless of the muttered insults behind him, or the various claims about the "one tax, four no's" talent, Tian Ersan silently endured it all.

All resources are ready; it's time to start building new structures!
"Build the government hall!"

As soon as Tian Ersan finished speaking, a large amount of resources began to fly over from the distant warehouse and the resource fields even further away.

These resources, mixed with golden copper coins, were poured into an area hundreds of meters away.

"This is the center!"

Tian Ersan finally found the regional center.

The administration office is usually located in the middle.

After the supplies arrived, a group of people took various tools and started working, building the foundation around a building that looked like a square courtyard.

Tian Ersan checked the time. The 1000-hour project would now take 26 hours and 19 minutes!

"Sleeping for three days and three nights shouldn't be a problem for me now, right?"

Tian Ersan was somewhat uncertain. The company's affairs could be handled by a few female department heads, who were also responsible for various meetings and phone calls. There was no need for them to go out normally.

The only slightly troublesome ones are Wang Linlin and the others. If they don't see anyone for a day, they might come up and ask.

However, with Li Cuihua and others around, two or three days shouldn't be a big problem.

Without taxes, the meager income from ten tax collectors would only cover three transactions every two months.

Tian Ersan decided to be patient a little longer and first went outside the farmland to replenish everyone's private grain supplies.

A few children and women who weren't working came to harvest the wheat, and everyone happily helped.

After working for an hour, Tian Ersan suddenly became much more alert.

"If I can be a farmer harvesting wheat and a soldier killing sparrows, then I can build a house too, right?"

Thinking of this, Tian Ersan recalled that when he was studying architectural techniques, he had watched the whole process at the academy.

"Give it a try!"

Tian Ersan handed the wheat in his hand to Wu Busong and Wu Bulang, and then quickly ran towards the government hall.

There are 24 hours and 58 minutes left in the construction time of the government building.

Before arriving at the construction site, Tian Ersan was still thinking about how to cooperate with others. But when he got there, he noticed a glowing spot in the yard.

Next to the white glowing spot was a hammer.

This is……

Tian Ersan recalled the scenes he had seen while observing the construction techniques.

"It seems that besides the migrant workers, there are two other positions: one for officials and one for foremen."

Tian Ersan picked up the hammer, and once he held it with both hands, he knew he was the foreman.

Boom!
Tian Ersan gripped the hammer tightly and smashed it at the white dot in front of him.

The construction time was drastically reduced by thirty seconds!

Boom!
Tian Ersan continued to raise and lower the hammer.

"thirty!"

"thirty!"

"thirty!"

Each hammer blow reduces the time by thirty seconds. Theoretically, one hammer blow takes three seconds, so that's twenty hammer blows per minute, which can reduce the time by ten minutes!

"Give me one minute in exchange for ten minutes!"

Tian Ersan shouted loudly to give himself a boost.

A minute and a half later, Tian Ersan's back ached, his hands felt weak...

This is already considered to be in very good physical condition; a normal person would need to stop and rest after starting for ten seconds.

"No, theory is theory, but it's completely impractical. My body isn't a machine, and I don't have the same unlimited stamina as others."

"Oh right, you can eat wheat to restore your strength! How could I forget that?"

Tian Ersan put down his hammer and went to the wheat field to harvest wheat for himself.

As he walked out of the construction site, the hammer in his hand disappeared automatically, dispelling Tian Ersan's idea of ​​getting a hammer for free.

Tian Ersan went to work in the field. He had just stepped out of the field with a handful of wheat when he saw several children from the Wang family running over, looking up at him with wide eyes.

After a three-second standoff, Tian Ersan walked out without handing the wheat to the freeloaders.

I want to treat you like your father did!

After thinking about it this way, Tian Ersan felt no guilt and went back to work with a clear conscience.

They won't starve. After spending 100 cubic meters, there are still more than 100 cubic meters of grain left in the granary, enough for everyone to eat and drink for a while.

These children eat plenty of snacks regularly, and occasionally they even get to eat meat.

Now is the time for us to do our own work; we don't have that much pity to spare for these kids.

Tian Ersan resolutely put himself first!

He quickly ate a handful of wheat to restore his strength.

"thirty!"

"thirty!"

"thirty!"

……

Two hours later, after finishing his wheat, Tian Ersan suddenly felt incredibly stupid.

"Why don't I go to the granary and get some wheat?"

Tian Ersan went directly to the granary to get wheat, and after carrying back a bag of wheat, he continued to swing the sledgehammer.

May is over, and the summer solstice is in June!

[This quarter is summer, wheat production +25%]

Last year's heavy snowfall nourished this land, and thanks to the favorable weather, wheat production this quarter increased by 5%.

[This month there is grain, all villagers gain +10 public support] Tian Ersan found that whether he worked or not seemed to have little impact.

"What good will arriving a few hours early do? It feels like a complete waste of time, I might as well just get some sleep."

Despite this thought, Tian Ersan still wanted to finish the administration office before logging off.

Theoretically, six minutes can reduce one hour of time. Taking into account the villagers' construction time, there are 11 hours from six o'clock when they go to sleep to seven o'clock the next day.

It doesn't matter if there's more time; there are several women outside to cover for us, and we've already prepared excuses, such as being tired from playing last night and sleeping.

Sleeping all day is no problem at all, and there's plenty of time.

Tian Ersan didn't push himself too hard; he swung the hammer within his limits, treating it as a form of exercise.

In the early morning, some villagers began to emerge from their courtyards and move around.

Tian Ersan, who couldn't swing the sledgehammer, sat on the street eating wheat.

Ten-year-old Yang Bamei and eleven-year-old Yang Paifeng walked over and watched Tian Ersan eat wheat with curiosity.

Tian Ersan then remembered that these people did not have any private grain.

"You all wait here and don't move. I'll go get you some wheat to eat."

"Thank you, my lord!" Yang Bamei and Yang Paifeng both thanked them happily.

Tian Ersan carried back over 100 jin of wheat and went straight to Yangjiamen after entering the city.

The Yang family consists of two households with ten people, totaling fifteen people. The family ranges from a sixty-year-old silver-haired grandmother to a ten-year-old girl, and two-thirds of the members are subject to the "one tax, three exemptions" policy.

The mother-in-law, She Jinhua, her seven daughters-in-law, her 17-year-old granddaughter-in-law Mu Xiuying who was not yet married into the family, and her 9-year-old adopted girl Yang Paifeng are all taxed; the rest are not.

Even a tax is still a tax, and it's much better than not paying taxes at all.

Not to serve in the military, not to work, not to pay taxes, and not to run away.

Tian Ersan had tolerated Pan Shouzhen, Wu Dawu, and Wu Er, and now he felt very calm.

The twelve women of the Yang family surrounded Tian Ersan, their eyes filled with delight as they watched him place a large handful of wheat on the table.

Dalang's wife: Zhang Jinding, 34 years old, female teacher

Erlang's wife: Li Cuiping, 33 years old, female teacher

Sanlang's wife: Zhu Yuemei, 32 years old, female doctor

Si Lang's wife: Lin Sumei, 31 years old, female doctor

Goro's wife: Ma Saiying, 30 years old, female teacher

Liu Lang's wife: Chai Meirong, 29 years old, female judge

Qi Lang's wife: Du Jin'e, 28 years old, female reporter

Mu Xiuying, 17 years old, female high school student.

Yang Paifeng, 9 years old, adopted daughter
Then there are five reserve civilians.

Yang Bamei, 12 years old, junior high school student

Yang Jiumei, 11 years old, junior high school student

Yang Xiaomei, 10 years old, primary school student

Because I was so angry at the time, after coming up with thirteen names, I still couldn't resist the last two "four no's" (no good, no bad, no good) names.

Yang Sanbu: 9 years old, primary school student

Yang Buyi: 9 years old, primary school student

The three "no's" are: not paying taxes, not working, and not joining the military.

Difficulty is synonymous with inconsistency.

Excluding the three who were absent, the remaining twelve women stood to the side, happily extending their beautiful, fair fingers, and enjoying their meal together.

Yang Paifeng, having finished eating first, happily said, "My lord, I have something to tell you: you must be here on your birthday! There will be a gift!"

Tian Ersan's eyes lit up!
Birthday?

Tian Ersan remembers that his birthday is June 6th.

That's right! It was the day I came into this world!

lunar calendar!

Tian Ersan quickly determined his birthday and also decided that after going out, he would tell the others that he was a person who valued tradition.

We'll only celebrate birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar then, thus creating a time difference.

The others had also finished eating and soon revealed various pieces of information.

Good things always happen during holidays!

"During the 24 solar terms, resource fields are more likely to trigger events."

"The quality of buildings is greater than their quantity."

"Range units are very important."

"Before the third level of the ruling hall, there is no need to worry about soldiers and bandits."

"The academy's technology is extremely important!"

"Taxes can be levied in advance to obtain development funds, but this will have a certain impact and should be treated with caution."

"Unnecessary soldiers can be dismissed, and resources and empty houses can be recycled."

"The city walls can protect city residents from unexpected events."

"The civil and military officials in the tavern can solve many problems on behalf of the lord."

“The salaries of civil and military officials are not low. Withholding their salaries will reduce their loyalty and may even lead to desertion. In severe cases, they may even turn against their masters.”

"Our lord is an all-rounder and can adapt to any position."

"The lord can only marry through the marriage system and cannot have offspring through other means."

Tian Ersan quickly asked, "Where is the marriage system?"

The female doctor, Zhu Hongmei, shook her head blankly. "I don't know."

Damn! Tian Ersan discovered that people can actually laugh when they're both anxious and angry.

That's fine, from now on we can skip safety measures and I won't have to worry about women demanding child support anymore.

Tian Ersan felt this was fine and easily accepted the fact that she could not conceive normally.

For Tian Ersan, who never intended to get married, this kind of thing was not harmful at all.

By noon, Tian Ersan's administration building was finally completed.

Tian Ersan walked into the building, which looked like a courtyard with red walls from the outside.

Upon entering the gate, one discovers that the space here is at least ten acres, much larger than it appears.

At this moment, the outline of the entire territory's buildings came into view, clearly showing the locations of the various villages.

Various user interfaces also appeared nearby.

The [Government Office] is a place for rest and issuing government orders, and has core functions.

Taxation: Taxation reduces the maximum amount of public support by 5 points, once a month.

Appease: Consumes five times the current daily tax revenue to increase public morale by five points, once a month.

Distribute grain: Consume 500 cubic meters of grain to open the granary and distribute grain, attracting a large number of refugees to this place. The number of refugees attracted will not exceed the current idle population.

Deployment: Without leaving home, you can mobilize various units to perform different tasks and relay messages without any cost. You can also transfer local residents to the outside world or agree to allow residents and heroes outside the outside world to return. Transfer costs are reduced by 10%.

(All local residents will automatically receive external identity information, and will automatically return to their place of household registration upon transfer.)
Rename: Name your faction. The first name will boost morale by +10 and grant +1000 copper coins. Each subsequent name change will cost 1000000 copper coins and temporarily decrease morale by 40 points.

Hero Hall: A Tier 1 Hero Hall can only accommodate one hero.

Territory: The area outside and inside the city is a first-level space.

The upgrade requires 20000 copper coins, 200 cubic meters of various resources, and 2000 hours to build.

What Tian Ersan needs is money!
The name definitely can't use "田" (field), and the identity needs to be kept secret.

It can't be used for some dynasties in the past, in case people find out that you are an Earthling.

"Named as..."

Tian Ersan thought for three minutes; this name was really hard to come up with.

"Stars! The Star Kingdom!"
