Chapter 141 Welfare Policy
Sevini put down the quill in his hand, gently pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. |[2][3][w][x]
When she opened her eyes again, she looked around and confirmed that there were no one else in the city master's office. She opened her arms and stretched her waist tightly.
Because of the comfort brought by stretching the body, Sevini felt a little better, but he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and smiled embarrassedly.
The strict education she received since she was a child in the royal family made her always maintain a nearly perfect image in front of others. Even the stretching that ordinary people can do casually, for her, can only do it secretly when there is no one in private.
Even so, she still feels like she has done something bad and feels a little sad.
But this is impossible, it's really tiring.
It seems that the year is over, and as the lord of Bonta City, there is a lot of work that must be done by Sevini himself.
All kinds of mixed things have accumulated together, which has made her unable to sleep well for nearly a week, so that she feels extremely tired now.
But this was her first year in Bangta City as the city lord, and she was still carrying the expectations of her father, so she naturally couldn't relax at all.
For her, the best comfort is probably that she has seen the amazing and pleasant changes produced by Bonta City through various detailed reporting data during her work these days.
According to the annual financial statistics report of Bonta City, so far this year, the total tax revenue of Bonta City has exceeded 5.73 million gold coins.
And because this year has not yet passed, if the taxes for the last month are also included, then the total annual tax revenue of Bangta City will definitely exceed 6 million gold coins!
And if it weren't for the fact that Earl Stark still adopted a policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture when he was the city lord in the first half of this year, the commercial tax in Bangta City fell 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 coins mark!
Thinking of this number, Sevini felt that there was a large ray of golden light in front of her, which made her almost unable to believe this fact.
You know, the tax revenue of the entire Lampari Kingdom last year was only about two million gold coins.
And now, just like the city of Bonta City, the tax collected may exceed 10 million gold coins.
Although according to the regulations of the Kingdom Parliament, each city in the Kingdom only pays a small proportion of taxes to the Kingdom Finance, if every city in the Kingdom can earn more than 10 million gold coins in the annual tax revenue, the Lampari Kingdom Finance will definitely become a completely different person.
If the annual fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Lampari can exceed 10 million gold coins, instead of the pitiful one or two million gold coins in those years, then the national strength of the Kingdom of Lampari will definitely be greatly improved.
After all, having money is a very important thing for both individuals and a country.
Of course, although Bangta City has extremely high tax revenue, it also costs a lot of money accordingly.
Since Sevini took over as the city lord, the renovation project of Bonta City, which was previously stopped by Earl of Stark, has been launched again. In the past six months, almost the entire Bonta City has become a huge construction site. Highways, buildings and various new facilities are being built everywhere.
The overall urban renovation project cost extremely much money. In just half a year, more than 1.5 million gold coins were invested.
According to estimates, within the next two to three years, a minimum of four million gold coins must be continuously invested to be completed initially.
Since Bangta City's finances have been improved, many of the welfare policies implemented by people who thought about it before but had no money to implement it, or who had not thought about it at all, were later approved by Xu Yi's proposal, and various welfare policies implemented for residents in Bangta City have been gradually implemented.
These welfare policies are naturally extremely costly, but Sevini unswervingly implemented them, so that although Bonta City's annual tax revenue was extremely high, in fact, by the end of the year, after paying the corresponding taxes to the Kingdom Finance, Bonta City could only leave only 1.2 million gold coins.
As the New Year is approaching, even if Sevini is unwilling to do so, some necessary expenses for social engagements will be used.
By the beginning of next year, Sewini might not even have less than 500,000 gold coins in his hands.
Thinking of this, Sevini smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
"This is really a worry about having no money and having no money. After having money, there are also troubles after having money."
His eyes swept over the tax report. Sevini thought for a while, simply closed the report, turned around and looked out the window, and found that it was noon now, and today was a rare good weather in winter. At this time, the sun was extremely bright, illuminating the outside brightly.
After hesitating for a moment, Sevini got up and went to the lounge attached to the office to change into a casual outfit, and decided to go out for a walk.
As soon as he opened the office door, several collaborative officials from the city lord's mansion outside were stunned.
Seeing Sewini wearing casual clothes, several officials looked at each other, but they just smiled and said nothing.
His Highness the Princess is always staying in the office these days, and he is really too tired, so he should go out for a walk.
Sevini smiled and nodded at them, took a scarf, wrapped his neck and lower half of his face, and walked out from the back door of the city lord's mansion.
You can already hear the noise outside in the city lord's mansion, and when you come to the street outside, there are even more crowds of people everywhere, which is very lively.
The current permanent population of Bangta City has exceeded an astonishing 300,000. In addition, some migrant populations that have not been counted, the people in the city and outside the city may have exceeded 400,000.
This number is a very terrible number for the Kingdom of Lampari, because even the capital Anweimar, which is known as the most prosperous and most crowded in the kingdom, has a population of only about 200,000.
Of course, having so many people is bound to be because there is a matching prosperity here.
Nowadays, the streets and alleys of Bangta City are crowded with people, and any places along the street have been transformed into various shops. At first glance, there are a wide range of products, which is almost dazzling.
Among these shops, there are many luxury goods that were previously considered untouchable by most residents of Bangta City, and are often dozens of gold coins or even hundreds of gold coins per piece.
However, although these luxury goods are very expensive, they are sold very well in Bonta City.
Because according to the statistics made by the City Lord's Mansion, the per capita annual income of residents in Bangta City has even exceeded 300 gold coins.
As many people in a family add up, their annual income can even exceed one thousand gold coins.
With such a good income as the basis, the luxury goods that were only bought and displayed by those great nobles and merchants have become ordinary items that many families in Bonta City can reach.
When Sevini looked over the street, he could find that the clothes and accessories worn by many young girls on the street were no worse than those worn by Anweimar.
Although many girls are limited by taste and the clothes and accessories they match don't look very good to Sevini, it means they already have considerable economic strength.
As the lord of Bonta City, Sevini was naturally very pleased to see this situation.
After walking along the street, after walking through a street, Sevini stood under a sign with the words "City Lord's Mansion Station" on it, and patiently waited for the arrival of the next bus magic motorcycle.
"Hey, Ronnie, are you waiting for the car too?" A fat middle-aged man walked past Sewini and greeted a thin man of about age standing behind her.
The thin man smiled: "Yes, I'm going to Luoyu Valley, where are you, Shaq?"
The middle-aged fat man called Shaq smiled and said, "I don't go that far, I just went to the hospital outside the city."
"What? Are you sick?" Ronnie, a thin man, asked in surprise.
"Why, look at me, what's wrong with me?"
"Then what are you going to the hospital for?" Ronnie was a little puzzled.
"Don't you know yet? The Bonta Daily reported some time ago that the City Lord's Mansion will implement the Bonta City residents' medical insurance system. As long as they are registered residents of Bonta City, each person only needs to pay five gold coins a year to enjoy this medical insurance. Yesterday's Bonta Daily said that this system has been officially implemented and they have to go to a hospital outside the city to go through the procedures, so I won't take the time to prepare for it."
"Medical Insurance System?" Ronnie frowned. "What is this thing for? Do we still have to pay?"
"What? Are you afraid of losing money? Tell you, this thing is very good. As long as you pay the hardware coins this year, you will be able to enjoy the expected discounts for the whole year next year. For example, if you have a disease, you spend ten gold coins after going to the hospital, right? With this medical insurance, you can get a 70% reduction, so you only need to spend three gold coins. How about it? Isn't it very cost-effective?"
"Really?" Ronnie was surprised and happy. "There is such a good thing? What if I haven't gotten sick for a year?"
"Of course it will be in vain if you are not sick. You still want to return it to you."
"Free friends?" Ronnie's joy faded away, and she said with some distress: "If you don't get sick next year, wouldn't you lose your hardware coins in vain?"
"I said you are still worried about this?" Shaq curled his lips. "Isn't it just hardware coins? Are you still short of this money now? If you pay it, you can enjoy such a high discount. If you don't pay it, it will be a big loss."
"That's right..." Ronnie nodded. "Let me consider it... By the way, there is a deadline for applying for this thing, when?"
"It's over the end of the year. If you want to consider it, hurry up and don't be able to catch up." Shaq reminded.
"Okay, I will think about it carefully." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
