Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

At the beginning of the year, Dafeng County had a resident population of over 300,000; now, the resident population has reached over 1.2 million.

The increase in permanent residents in Dafeng County is almost entirely concentrated in Changqing Town, with most of them coming from various parts of Daxia.

Xuanhuang Construction Company has grown rapidly, offering high wages and good benefits, attracting many young and middle-aged farmers to join the company.

More than a decade ago, large numbers of young and middle-aged people from places like Sichuan, Yunzhou, Qianzhou, Guizhou, and Yuzhou went to work in coastal areas.

Both are construction workers, but those in coastal areas earn around 100 yuan a day, while those at Xuanhuang Construction Company earn at least 200 yuan a day, plus free housing, free medical care, and free schooling for their children.

More than 90% of the out-of-towners who joined Xuanhuang Construction Company transferred their household registration to Changqing Town.

For officials in Changqing Town, population, economy, and tax revenue are all political achievements.

The husband works at Xuanhuang Construction Company, the wife works in a company or factory under Xuanhuang Group, and the child attends a school in Changqing Town. Their income has increased significantly, their cost of living has decreased sharply, and their happiness index has soared.

At the beginning of the new year, Qi Bing upgraded the development system of his hometown to the district and county level.

Changqing Town has a land area of ​​approximately 68 square kilometers, with only slightly more than 100,000 mu (about 6,667 hectares). Most of the area is mountainous and forested, so its potential is ultimately limited. If it continues to be developed, there will not be much room for further growth.

Upgrading the hometown development system to the district and county level, although the return on investment decreases, can still achieve zero investment. Even if the population return coefficient drops from ten times to five times, it can still net more than six million yuan every day.

At the township level, the population return is dozens of times higher. In Changqing Town, with a population of over 600,000, the daily income is over six million.

The county-level system has a population return coefficient of five times, and Dafeng County, with a population of over 1.2 million, receives over 6 million yuan daily.

Upgraded to the district/county level system, the investment is doubled. If 100 million is spent, 100 million will be returned. The funds remain unchanged. The 100 million invested in real estate is all under the Xuanhuang Group. Overall, there is no loss.

Qi Bing went to the comprehensive building in Dafeng County and signed an investment contract.

With the full support of Dafeng County, Xuanhuang Group embarked on a new round of extravagant spending.

Only Changqing Town has achieved the goal of connecting every village with every household. The new round of connecting every village with every household will cover the entire Dafeng County.

Dafeng County has a total of 21 towns. After deducting Changqing Town, which has already been renovated, there are still 20 towns left.

The project was about twenty times the size of the one in Changqing Town. Qi Bing ordered Xuanhuang Construction Company to purchase machinery and equipment and recruit a large number of employees.

Road construction requires people, school reconstruction requires people, and house reconstruction also requires people.

The system will fully refund the money spent on purchasing land for factory construction.

The system will return every penny of the funds spent on road repairs, school reconstruction, and housing rebuilding.

Making various investments at zero cost may seem like a lot of money, but in reality, your savings don't decrease at all, and you can also acquire a large number of assets.

In less than a week, all the farmers in Dafeng County had joined Xuanhuang Agricultural Company.

Grains, vegetables, and fruits grown in various parts of Dafeng County, as well as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, fish, shrimp, and crabs raised there, have begun to be sold locally.

Factories throughout Dafeng County are facing closure and bankruptcy because their employees have joined Xuanhuang Group.

The same job pays more at Xuanhuang Group, not even counting the various amazing benefits.

Qi Bing, who had inexhaustible funds, acquired various factories in Dafeng County, and then demolished, rebuilt, and upgraded them.

The factory won't sell? What's the point of keeping it if we've already lost all the employees?

Recruiting workers from other places? If the wages are too low, no one will be willing to work there; if the wages are too high, it will definitely result in losses.

Even if people from other places come to work in the factory, they will definitely go to Xuanhuang Group before long.

Xuanhuang Industrial Research Center provides industrial technology, Xuanhuang Agricultural Research Center provides agricultural technology, and Qi Bing has inexhaustible funds. Xuanhuang Group is unstoppable in Dafeng County.

Are public servants' salaries low? Everyone has a family; if one person joins Xuanhuang Group, the whole family benefits.

Old houses are transformed into new ones without costing the family a penny; medical care and education for the whole family are free; even if public servants earn less, the cost of living decreases and the happiness index rises.

As tax revenue and per capita income increased in Dafeng County, residents applied for a pay rise, which was approved by higher authorities.

For public officials of the same rank, those in Haicheng, Beicheng, and Shenzhen earn more. This is essentially because Haicheng, Beicheng, and Shenzhen pay more taxes and have higher average wages.

In Dafeng County today, tax revenue has soared and per capita wages have increased significantly, so the salaries of public officials can only be raised.

The renowned Qi soldiers often attracted a lot of attention when they went out for a stroll.

Everyone he met along the way treated him with utmost respect and smiles.

"With over a trillion in savings, the more you spend, the more money you seem to accumulate."

No matter how much you invest in Dafeng County, the system will return every penny.

Factory rents and company profits are all contributing to the increase in savings.

Realizing that Daxia didn't yet have a decent car, Qi Bing decided to acquire a car factory outright.

Build a car factory in Dafeng County, purchase more advanced production lines, and invest heavily in research and development of better cars.

The main reason for acquiring a car factory outright is for the technology and employees.

Developing better cars based on existing technologies is much more efficient.

It was all thanks to the efforts of the local development system; they didn't use the technology they possessed.

Having experienced multiple worlds, he possesses many technologies that would be considered cutting-edge technology in this world.

He stayed in this world primarily to upgrade his human race level.

While upgrading, you'll have nothing better to do than play around with the hometown development system. It's a win-win situation – killing time while simultaneously developing and expanding the Great Xia Dynasty in this world.

Providing abundant funds without relying on our own technology is beneficial for cultivating talent within Daxia.

Accompanied by the charming Shen Tian, ​​Qi Bing practiced the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique for a while, and then enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot spring.

His residence in Dafeng County is a villa with a land area of ​​500 square meters and a building area of ​​180 square meters.

He built a hot spring pool on the basement floor of his villa.

On a whim, Qi Bing established an overseas procurement department for the Xuanhuang Group.

In less than a week, the overseas procurement department had grown to 300 people.

The work of the overseas purchasing department is simple: to buy machinery, equipment and technology from various overseas locations.

It's only 2001 on Earth, and many of the technologies of Great Xia are lagging behind those overseas.

Purchase available technologies and equipment with money, then have the Xuanhuang Industrial Research Center and Xuanhuang Agricultural Research Center conduct research and upgrades. Investing funds without regard to cost will eventually allow us to catch up with or even surpass overseas counterparts.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's June of 2002.

"With over 1.2 trillion yuan in deposits, Dafeng County is almost at its optimal level."

Agricultural products are now basically self-sufficient; if this continues, it will stifle agricultural development.

Accompanied by Shen Tian, ​​Qi Bing drove a black and yellow SUV out.

After looking around at the towns and villages of Dafeng County, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Over the course of nearly a year and a half, with a massive investment of funds, manpower, and resources, Dafeng County has achieved road access to every village and household, rebuilt and expanded all schools, and transformed houses in both urban and rural areas into well-planned, high-standard new homes...

"By early next year, we will upgrade the system to the city level and then develop the entire Chongqing area."

Township and county-level hometown development systems include distributing money to residents and returning investment.

The hometown development systems at the city, prefecture, and national levels provide subsidies based on population and technological advancements, but they do not offer returns on investment.

Technology points can be used to directly purchase technology or to improve research and development efficiency.

As Qi Bing drove, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, thinking that Dafeng County now has more than five million people.

At the district and county level, the payout ratio is five times the population. In Dafeng County, with a population of over five million, he earns over fifteen million yuan every day.
