"I know that Beloberg has been affected by the Rift, and the serious economic recession needs to be improved urgently, but we cannot take a hasty approach, which is tantamount to overdrawing the future;"
"You cannot ignore the happiness of the grassroots people. You absolutely cannot ignore it."
Bronya asked in confusion: "Happiness?"
"Give me an example." Zishu patiently explained, "If you could put aside all work matters and freely spend your own time one day a week, how would you feel?"
Bronya imagined it, even though she had never rested since she put on the Silver Mane Iron Guard uniform, she had no idea about this.
But ever since Cocolia left and she took over this position, all her time no longer belonged to her. She was so busy that she couldn't even sleep for more than a certain amount of time.
If only we could have one day a week without worrying about these things and have free time, it would be great…
Thinking of this, Bronya suddenly understood what Zishu meant.
"You have planned the consumption content very well, and I can't find any problems. But regarding the work-rest system, I personally suggest changing it from one day a week to two days a week, and reducing the daily working hours from 1 hours to 2 hours."
“…!!”
Bronya was shocked. Not only were a lot of working hours cut, but an extra day of vacation was added. Wouldn't this actually cause the economy to decline?
Seeing her expression, Zishu could understand, but he couldn't explain it to her in detail.
These are the knowledge he gained from society during his years as a low-level office worker.
The plan needs to be adapted to local conditions. The protective city of Beloberg is the last fortress on the planet, and the people of Beloberg have no idea what population represents.
Simply put, with Beloberg’s current population, it is far from the time to roll out 996, and it would be counterproductive.
"If you want to revive the economy, you can't just increase working hours and quantity. To restore economic prosperity, you need to stimulate people's consumption. If you want people to consume on their own, you must first make them spontaneously believe that their current life has hope and is happy;"
"Assuming people start work at 9am and get off work at 21pm, when they get home tired from the day, they don't have the energy to do anything else except eat and take a shower. They don't even want to go out, let alone spend money.
"If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid that before the economy recovers, the entire Beloberg population will quickly become a low-desire society due to being in a high-pressure environment for a long time."
"Low desire?"
"The grassroots people have lost their motivation and desire, they don't consume and don't make friends. Companies have high reserves but cannot use them effectively due to the sluggish economic flow. Once the economic flow stops, you should understand the consequences."
Hearing each word, Bronya broke out in a cold sweat.
When Cocolia was still alive, as the leader of the Silver Mane Guards, she was not old enough to study economics, which led to a lack of knowledge in this area.
After a period of extra training, I can now understand what Zishu said.
"You don't have to worry about reducing working hours and causing productivity to fall behind. In fact, considering the current population of Beloberg, the proportion of each age group, the total amount of undeveloped land, and other factors, working 35 hours a week, let alone 30 hours, will bring more than enough productivity to support social operations."
123. Wanted Warrant Follow-up
The plan proposed by Zishu was very bold, but Bronya took note of it carefully.
"We will discuss this as soon as possible."
"By the way, I think I need to remind you that you must strictly control the economic pie of marriage and childbirth."
"This item is not in the plan..." Bronya was sure that she remembered it correctly.
"No, that's why I want to remind you. I overheard Shiluwa talking about the custom of exchanging tokens of love and marriage in Beloberg. We need to be careful of merchants using specific marketing methods to create luxury goods that are not in line with the actual price. If such things can maintain their value, it's fine. If they can't maintain their value, it's just an IQ tax, which is not conducive to long-term development."
"In a nutshell, expenses related to the marriage market should not be allowed to expand, and if necessary, relevant laws can even be established;"
"The second is education, that is, childcare. I won't mention medical resources for now. Other expenses, such as food, clothing, and education, are economic taboos that cannot be touched casually."
Bronya was confused by what Zishu said.
It's not her fault.
Putting aside her noble status, she was still a young girl who was not even 20 years old. Because she was in a busy high position, she had almost no knowledge of interacting with the opposite sex, let alone after becoming a parent.
Xing sat aside and said that she had no way of saying anything. She also couldn't understand what Zishu said.
"Population is one of the most important factors in economic development. You are aware of this, but there are no corresponding provisions to encourage or check it;"
At this point, Zishu paused, drank the water in the cup and added: "You only have a vague understanding now, so it's meaningless for me to say it's too complicated. I'll just tell you directly why we should prohibit individual merchants from making huge profits from the marriage and childbearing economy;"
"The easiest ways to make a fortune are written in the Beloberg Law. Merchants are profit-seeking by nature, and they will do whatever it takes to find loopholes in the law. When the per capita necessary consumer goods in the process of population development are targeted, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Once marriage and child-rearing become an economic burden, population growth will enter an irreversible downward curve. When animals are in a difficult survival environment, they will voluntarily reduce reproduction. What a simple truth."
"You're right..." Bronya murmured.
After all, humans are also a kind of animal from a biological point of view, and the same natural rules of survival apply to them.
When I thought of the unbalanced future that Zishu talked about, even greater pressure came.
She is far from being an excellent guardian who can lead people to prosperity...
Zishu noticed her mood change and whispered, "Don't worry. You need to be down-to-earth in everything. You should know that you are not alone. It is not difficult to rely on your people occasionally."
"indeed."
Bronya's brows relaxed, and she began to humbly ask for advice on other subjects, unknowingly losing track of time.
……
Player world.
The time that passes in the real Beloberg is just a moment for them, and they can only see what can be seen.
After the battle with the Cocolia boss, many players did not choose to continue advancing the main storyline, but chose to do other things slowly.
Wander around the big map, look for treasure chests, go for side quests, and brush the dungeon.
Aliang has the idea of collecting the memes integrated into the Star Dome Railway and making a related video, with interactive flash points everywhere to trigger easter eggs or read serious illness copy.
Unconsciously, he found himself triggering a plot dialogue.
[It seems that this is the last wanted poster. The appearance of Belloberg has been completely renewed because of you. Congratulations!]
[After taking inventory, you find that even if you have collected all the wanted posters of different styles, there is no sealed great guardian who suddenly appears and claims to be able to fulfill any of your wishes.]
[This is the end of everything about the wanted order. However, if you are curious enough, you may also go to find your Iron Guard friends - Jeppard and Pera.]
[You can ask them why these wanted posters are so strange.]
Aliang was in trouble, he didn't know where Pella was, so he asked for help from the barrage, and soon got the answer to go to Kripal Castle.
Pella is right below the bookshelf. Press F to interact and you will find that there are indeed dialogue options related to the wanted order.
As I looked further, the corners of my mouth involuntarily curled up into a different shape.
Star/Dome: "Who painted these beautiful portraits?"
Pera: "I don't know, the painting is so beautiful, who could it be? I feel like I know him."
Star/Sky: "You didn't draw this, did you?"
Pera: "How did you know? Don't... don't look at me like that anymore. I confess. I confess everything... I drew all of these. Are you satisfied?"
Star/Sky: "Not satisfied! The painting is so beautiful, why didn't you draw one for me too?"
Pera: "I didn't draw you because... I forgot what you look like... I'm sorry, I've told you so much, please don't tell anyone else, please!"
Xingqiong: "That depends on your sincerity. You don't want to think about these things..."
Pera: "Stop, stop, stop - I'll treat you to a nice meal, right?"
Aliang lives in Bengbu. He laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He complained, "Damn it, it's hard not to suspect that the copywriting team is reading Xiaorizi's works every day. Why do they fill in some awesome literature every now and then?"
[What, there is NTR? Pan Gege Ge ecstasy! ]
[Has Fan Gege played Xingtie? I can't wait to see his expression when he encounters these serious illness copywriters! ]
【I didn’t see the live broadcast…】
【pity. 】
"So, those weird portraits were painted by Jeppard. Let's see what he has to say."
Aliang never expected that he just clicked on the euphemistic dialogue option and Jeppard actually took it up.
Jeppard: "It's a great achievement. That's what a wanted order is all about. I feel honored to receive such high praise from you. Thank you."
Star/Dome: "..."
Jeppard: "Look, this portrait of Miss March 7 is the one I am most satisfied with. I think it is very vivid. Unfortunately, the situation was urgent and I painted it in a hurry. Otherwise, I could have polished it a little more..."
"I'm dying of laughter. If San Yueqi was here, he would probably be so angry that smoke would come out of his nose. But Brother Jie has no self-awareness and thinks that his painting is okay."
Aliang thought that this little easter egg ended here, but unexpectedly a new dialogue option appeared.
【Look at these five portraits...】
"Oh yeah, I even posted the provocative photos provided by Zishu!"
Jeppard: "To be honest, I have never seen these portraits. I don't know who painted them. Although the poses and words are a little... the painting skills are amazing, almost like photos taken by a camera."
124. It’s really cultural export
Xing/Qiong: "Actually, these are from Zishu's hand..."
Jeppard: "So it's Mr. Zishu? I didn't expect that he is not only highly skilled, but also has amazing painting skills. I admire him."
Xingqiong: "Aren't you angry? We were so angry about being misunderstood that we put these next to the wanted poster."
Jeppard: "We are the ones who made the mistake. Of course we are not angry in hindsight. Besides, Mr. Zishu has done a great favor to the Iron Guard, the entire Belloberg, and the Landau family. Even if he wants to put these portraits on me, I don't care."
Star/Sky: "Great favor?"
Jeppard: "Don't you know that when the world-splitting creatures attacked, the outermost defense line was breached. Thanks to Mr. Zishu who stayed in the restricted area and assisted all the iron guards with his superb methods, we were able to kill all the world-splitting monsters and defend the last pure land."
"Ah?" Aliang was stunned.
The same was true for many viewers who did not think deeply about the plot and had not thought about the reason why Zishu left the team. Only a few viewers who had made related guesses showed a look of surprise.
"It turns out that before Zishu came to the rescue, he didn't need to rest because he consumed too much energy from calculating the star core and opening the transmission channel, but stayed to help!"
For a moment, countless spectators and players stood in awe.
【What a man! 】
[Reliable, really reliable. He has been misunderstood, plotted against, backstabbed, and wanted, but he doesn't hold a grudge against the people here. He is still willing to lend a helping hand. Thanks!]
[It makes sense why Zishu aged when he was saving the game. It turns out that he was not exhausted from blocking Cocolia's ultimate move, but that his condition had already deteriorated greatly when he was in the Iron Guard penalty area! ]
[Great! No need to say more, my godfather is really great, I cried my heart out...]
[This man... is damn likable! ]
The words that Zishu said to Xing before leaving the team are presented differently from the player's perspective, giving people a sense that they have consumed too much energy and cannot continue fighting.
At that time, many people complained that the development was a bit stiff and old-fashioned, and they even banned the sub-book from entering the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, his real purpose was to defend the Beloberg Line.
In Zishu's system panel, his popularity among players soared again, and even after the system's explanation, the magnitude was completely unexpected.
The system did not lie to him. He had a very good grasp of how to present the plot to attract popularity. He is indeed a reliable and mature A Tong.
Countless times more reliable than that damn Aha.
Jeppard: "If it weren't for Mr. Zishu, the Iron Guard wouldn't have sacrificed only 104 people. Two more zeros wouldn't be a rare thing. My sister and I would have been overwhelmed by the rift monsters, causing the defense line to fail, and we would have become the eternal sinners who caused the destruction of the entire Beloberg..."
"I can only say that this godfather is not called in vain..."
Seeing this copy, Lao Liang was filled with emotion, "Zishu not only repeatedly covered for the team, but also quietly participated in such a big event. With this characterization and role, it is hard to believe that Lao Mi would make him a four-star character. If he was a five-star, sales would definitely explode."
[If you can draw a full-life four-star sub-book, it will be useful enough. Five-star? Turtle, I dare not think about it... You can't die even if you take off all your equipment and hang up, right? ]
[As long as the game StarTetsu has SP characters or special settings, it may have five stars. ]
【? ? Then I will definitely draw it, and arrange 6+5 as soon as possible! 】
[Rich lady in front, hungry, food...]
[Don't go. Rich women like steel wool and grilled chicken heads. You can't bear it. Let me bear the suffering! ]
[Abacus beads jumped into the sea, right? ]
Aliang checked the materials currently accumulated and nodded with satisfaction.
"OK brothers, I'll stop here for today. I'm going to go to work on a Star Iron video. I'll release it as soon as I'm done. Please support me by giving me a triple like."
[Don't run away, old thief, I'll broadcast it again! 】
