Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

Fei Xiao blinked and said in a relaxed tone, "I came to Luofu for something to do. As for this person..."

Shen Yi politely nodded and smiled at the two children, and casually said, "I am Shen Yi, an aide to General Feixiao. I have come to Luofu to accompany her on official business."

The word "staff" almost made Feixiao laugh on the spot. Not to mention that this Lord Digong didn't even draft his lies, this identity alone directly raised her generation to a higher level than the legendary "emperor of the ancient country".

Emperor Gong Siming is his aide, and if he wants to replace him with someone else, he wouldn't even dare to do it in his dreams.

Fei Xiao suppressed the urge to laugh and changed the subject, "Don't worry about me for now. I can hear you two from so far away. The atmosphere is tense. What are you two arguing about?"

Fu Xuan crossed his arms over his chest, glanced at Qingque, and said sarcastically, "Oh, it's nothing, I just don't want to see a new general get burned in the process."

Fei Xiao clapped his hands, raised his eyebrows, and suggested cheerfully, "Ah, you reminded me that General Qingque has just taken office, and we haven't congratulated him yet~

How about this, I'll treat you and we go out for a meal?"

Without waiting for Fu Xuan to speak, Qingque quickly nodded his little head like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, how about going to Rongyuezhai? I heard the toffee dumplings there are so sweet and soft! Master Taibu, would you like to come too?"

Everyone knows that Qingque wants to use the candy balls to shut Fu Xuan's mouth. However, Fu Xuan came prepared this time and certainly would not be bribed by a few candy balls.

She coughed lightly and said seriously, "General Feixiao, as the saying goes, a guest is a guest, and when it comes to hosting, it should be General Qingque, but..."

Qingque immediately took over the conversation, patting his chest and saying, "It's okay! I'll be the host, we've made a small fortune recently, so we're not short of money~"

"Qingque," Fu Xuan's eyes dimmed, and he stared at the other person solemnly, "If you want to go out for dinner during working hours, I won't stop you, but before that, you should explain clearly what you did after taking office as general. What exactly is your intention?"

Qingque's face fell, and he sighed sadly: "Oh, well, it seems that if I don't explain it clearly today, Master Fu Xuan will not let me go..."

Then she cleared her throat, turned around and walked behind the desk, pressed on the table, and a curtain of light appeared directly in front of everyone.

"Ahem, that's it!"

Qingque pointed in the air, zoomed in on one of the line graphs, and seriously started the business model:

"Please take a look, everyone. This is our Luofu Immortal Ship's previous financial report. It clearly reflects the severe financial problems we currently face! After in-depth analysis, we have found the following main reasons for this situation."

"First, according to our current livelihood policy, a fixed portion of each immortal ship's total revenue will be used to distribute welfare. This expenditure sometimes accounts for nearly 10 percentage points of fiscal revenue, which I think is quite exaggerated.

However, if I were to cut welfare benefits, it would definitely cause great social discontent, so I cannot touch this money for the time being."

"Secondly, in recent years, Luofu Xianzhou has carried out a series of large-scale infrastructure construction and public project renovations in order to expand its influence and improve the quality of life of residents.

Although these projects have laid a solid foundation for Xianzhou's long-term development, they have consumed a large amount of financial funds in the short term, exceeding our budget capacity."

"Then comes the most important point: war!"

"Luofu, Cangcheng, Yaoqing, and Zhuming have all just concluded a world war, which not only consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but also placed an unbearable financial burden."

"During the war, military spending surged, including the purchase and maintenance of weapons and equipment, soldiers' salaries and pensions, and the repair of damage caused by the war. These costs far exceeded our expectations, making the financial problem even worse."

"It's no exaggeration to say that if the Star Alliance's treasury revenue wasn't managed and allocated centrally, any immortal ship would probably be in serious deficit."

When Qingque said this, the unhappiness on Fu Xuan's face had dissipated a lot.

She stared at Qingque silently, waiting for further explanation.

"So, here comes the question~"

Qingque was like the teachers in school who would pick out students to answer questions during class, and spoke in a rhythmic tone:

"I've analyzed the main sources of income for the Luofu Immortal Boat. In fact, for each habitable planet, country, or each immortal boat, the sources of income are nothing more than the following—"

"Trade, real economy, tourism resources, taxation, people's livelihood services, external investment and cooperation with other countries."

"However, due to the war, our economy has suffered a severe impact. Although our trade routes have not been greatly affected due to the existence of the pioneering star gate, other areas, especially external investment and the tourism industry, have suffered a heavy blow!"

"To be honest, many interstellar travelers, having learned about the cosmic war between the Immortal Ship and the Abundant Evil Creature, are no longer daring to travel to the Immortal Ship. Even the much-vaunted herdsmen seeking medicine are much fewer than in previous years."

"And let's not even talk about external investment. No one wants to trade with the Immortal Boat without opening a star gate. Those fertile beasts would really rob an interstellar caravan if they encountered one. After all, not everyone has the powerful security force of a giant corporation like the Interstellar Peace Company."

"Oh, speaking of Interstellar Peace, due to the War of Abundance, Luofu hasn't had any in-depth cooperation with them for a long time. I have to find a way to resume cooperation with the company later..."

Fei Xiao nodded and agreed, "This is what I plan to do. The Interstellar Peace Company has the most in-depth trade with the Yaoqing Xianzhou, but due to the continuous wars, many people on the company side believe that the Xianzhou cannot survive this and have chosen to withdraw their investment.

Now that Xianzhou has the official deity of Digong Siming, I think those profit-seeking businessmen will reconsider their cooperation with Xianzhou.

I personally think it would be best to reach a long-term strategic cooperation with the company, including a military alliance, because the company, like us, has suffered from the evil of abundance."

Qingque snapped his fingers and nodded to Feixiao in appreciation: "General Feixiao is right. In addition to the abundant evil creatures, don't forget the antimatter army under the command of Jinmiehuozu.

One day, the Cloud Riders will inevitably face a battle with Jinmiehuozu's minions, so we should prepare early. For at least the next hundred years, the company is an ally we can win over."

Fu Xuan put one hand on his waist and gently reminded, "Qingque, let's get back to the topic. How do we solve the financial problem?"

"Ahem, Master Fu Xuan, don't be anxious. The next step is the key point~"

While trying to calm Fu Xuan, Qingque pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Now the question is, without external support, colonial blood transfusions, or financial hegemony, how can we quickly restore the Xianzhou economy? I've thought of a few ways."

She switched the light screen, and a new one immediately appeared: "First, taxation!"

Fu Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "Hasn't the collection of taxes always been done?"

"Ahem, Master Taibu, the tax collection we are talking about is not ordinary tax collection, but advance tax collection!"

"?"

"Look, taxes have to be paid every year anyway, so why not just collect the full 100 years in advance and not have to pay them later?"

"Wait, isn't this excessive taxation? If we collect taxes for the full 100 years in advance, the taxes we collect will only be enough to sustain us for 50 years. What will happen to the remaining 50 years?"

"Well, let's rule this out and move on to the second point, project fundraising!"

"...?"

"Simply put, we, the Liuyu, will open various public welfare projects to provide convenient services. We will then open these projects to public bidding, requiring those companies to pay a lump sum of money upfront, covering the next 300 years, at a certain price per year."

Fu Xuan was the first to object: "That's ridiculous. Shoot the arrows first and then draw the target. If something goes wrong with the project and it can't be delivered and inspected normally, who will bear the responsibility?"

"Alas, Master Taibu, the bidding is just a cover. Our goal is to get the public to pay. After the companies pay, we will first build a shell for the project and then start public pre-sales.

When ordinary people see that even the companies have paid money and the products are good-looking, of course they are willing to pay for it out of their own pockets!

Once the money is obtained, the company's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be used for construction. In this way, the company will get the money and Liuyu will get rid of the blame. It's a win-win situation! "

"Win-win? What about win-win? What about the people's money?! Qingque!! If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of me, I..."

Fu Xuan was almost mad with rage. She looked around, stammered, and held her words in for a long time before finally saying, without caring about her image at all:

"You big bad bastard!!"

"No, no, no, Master Taibu, please don't be angry! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Qingque quickly waved his hands, putting on a soothing smile and saying, "Alright, alright. These methods are all summed up from my study of planetary finances in school. They definitely won't work on a fairy ship, but I have another idea!"

"What can I do? I warn you, if you say anything unreliable again..."

"Reliable, reliable. The previous ones all went in with a white knife and came out with a red knife. This is different. We only need to give up some land in exchange for at least three hundred years of development for the Immortal Boat!"

"?"

"It's very simple. We can sell the right to use the immortal boat's cave heaven and rely on the incremental cave heaven to generate fiscal revenue. In other words, we can meet fiscal needs through the transfer fees of the cave heaven. The companies that purchase the cave heaven can build commercial areas, real estate, and more on it..."

"Hey hey hey! Stop, stop, stop, I can stop here!!"

Shen Yi quickly interrupted Qingque, fearing that if the girl continued talking, he would not see the sun tomorrow.

My little bastard, little bastard, I asked you to support the finances of the Immortal Boat, but you are thinking of sending the Immortal Boat directly into the sea of ​​fire...

Feixiao, who was beside him, was even more amazed when he saw this scene.

It really is like seeing a ghost. This is the first time I see Emperor Gong Siming looking a little flustered!

This little girl Qingque was able to make Shen Yi sweat profusely with just a few words. She was truly amazing!

I can only say that he is worthy of being General Luofu, who was personally selected by Lord Emperor Gong. His strength is truly not to be underestimated!

Chapter 166 Fu Xuan: I Want to Step on Her Mouth! (6K)

Qingque didn't quite understand why General Feixiao's aide suddenly interrupted her, but it didn't matter. She had no intention of getting involved in Dongtian's finances anyway.

Although this thing can quickly accumulate wealth and build development, and can surpass three hundred years in just thirty years, once the demographic dividend is exhausted and the unreasonable economic structure cannot be supported by the real industry to achieve rapid transformation, the finances of the entire Xianzhou will fall into crisis.

This model of overdrawing the future to achieve rapid development is only suitable for weak countries facing war crises, urgently needing to get rid of poverty, strengthen national defense, and catch up with hegemonic civilizations.

Xianzhou is just short of money now, but it is not weak. There is no need to use this method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting itself by eight hundred.

She tapped the desk lightly and cleared her throat like a teacher: "Ahem! Well, kids, let me ask you a question~"

Fu Xuan gritted his teeth in hatred: "Who are you calling a kid? If you think about it carefully, I am older than you..."

"Oh, Master Taibu, let's not worry about these trivial matters. What I'm going to talk about next is the main point of this meeting~"

Qingque raised his chin and switched the light screen to a new page.

"I've been working diligently at Taipusi for over a decade, constantly studying how to 'snatch some time off' from my busy schedule... No, I absolutely never slack off when it comes to balancing work and rest. After years of hard work, I've finally honed my skills!"

Fu Xuan's face turned pale, and he wanted to retort to her, "Is your only ability to slack off in front of me?" But after thinking about it, he held back.

"Over the years, I have carefully observed the mental state of my colleagues, the entertainment activities of ordinary residents in Xianzhou, and the differences in entertainment between low-end and high-end consumer groups.

Ultimately, I discovered that every immortal ship lacked a folk game suitable for all ages, simple to play, easy to get started, that could both cultivate sentiment, provide leisure and educational benefits, and boost the economy!

"To solve this problem, I searched through the library of the Taipusi and also commissioned merchants to bring me think tanks from other civilizations for reference.

Then I was surprised to find that similar entertainment activities actually existed as early as the ancient empire period! "

Fei Xiao glanced at the four large characters "Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu" on the screen and asked, "Is this what you are talking about?"

"Yes, Emperor Yuan Qiongyu!"

Qingque's eyes lit up. She was always calm, but when she talked about this, she immediately became excited:

"I spent a lot of time collecting the rules that had been lost among the stars for thousands of years, and then summarized and organized them. Finally, not long ago, I successfully completed a complete set of game rules system.

Then I asked the people from the Industrial Manufacturing Company to help me make a set of Qiong Yu chess and cards and a chessboard that integrates multiple functions such as automatic shuffling and loading of cards.

After trying a few games, I immediately realized that if this thing could be promoted in Xianzhou, wouldn't it be a great way to boost the current struggling economy? "

“After I came up with this idea, I immediately started to arrange this work. To be honest, it is not an easy task to promote a leisure activity.

First of all, this activity must be simple and easy to start, with a low threshold, and combine social interaction, collect fragmented time, cater to the public's tastes, etc.

But Di Yuan Qiong Yu just happens to have all these advantages. On this basis, all it needs is a wave of popularity to push her up, and she will definitely become a big name in Luofu!"

Having said that, Qingque acted shy, touched his nose, and laughed:

“Unfortunately, at this very moment, I, a mere fortune teller, suddenly became General Luofu, and even gained the power of Lord Digong!

This matter itself is very topical. In other words, 'Luofu General Qingque' itself is the key to traffic and popularity!

With everything ready, how could I miss such a good promotion opportunity?

I immediately convened a press conference and published a large number of news reports on Luofu Zazu about 'General Qingque's love for the Emperor's jade'. At the same time, I asked the Land Scale Division for some funds and provided them to the Construction Division, asking them to work overtime to produce 1 sets of chess and cards and multifunctional chess scales.

Then, with the "Sizhi Chess and Card Hall" owned by a mysterious friend as the center, I opened several chess and card rooms in commercial areas such as Changletian and Jinren Lane.

As I expected, those netizens, out of curiosity, jumped into the industry with the idea that 'if the general is recommending it, I'll have to try it even if it's a stone in the toilet', and then...

Qingque proudly pushed up the non-existent glasses on his nose, then crossed his arms over his chest, striking a classic successful pose of a real estate salesperson.

"As you can see, the Diyuan Qiongyu Group has officially been established! In a short period of time, Luofu has spawned a large number of industries centered around Diyuan Qiongyu, such as chess and card manufacturing, the opening of chess and card halls, official competitions hosted by the Diheng Division, the creation of event brands, and so on..."

"In the end, this is the result we have now. We don't have to overdraw on the people, and we don't have to buy or sell caves. Although it can't become the main economy, at least until this wave passes, it will definitely ease Luofu's tight finances.

Later, I will use this money to support other sectors of the real economy and invest in more industries or products with development potential like Diyuan Qiongyu. The future of Luofu Xianzhou will definitely be prosperous~"

In fact, when it came to this, Fu Xuan's original idea of ​​coming to ask for accountability had disappeared.

Although Fu Xuan had long known that Qingque was not the kind of stupid and lazy person who only gave up, he was still surprised when this girl showed her top-notch work ability and business acumen in front of him without reservation for the first time.

She had to admit that although she was mentally prepared, she still underestimated Qingque.

In such a short time since he took office, he not only managed to arrange the unhandled matters of General Teng Xiao in an orderly manner, but also sensed the business opportunities brought by Di Yuan Qiong Yu, successfully persuaded Di Hengsi to obtain funding investment, and even arranged a complete industrial chain.

"How is it, Master Taibu?"

Qingque looked at Fu Xuan triumphantly, and raised his nose proudly: "I didn't embarrass you this time. I really worked hard and didn't slack off~"

Fu Xuan coughed lightly, and his attitude softened a bit, his voice a little softer: "Ahem, Qingque, don't be so proud of me. Although the promotion and birth of Emperor Yuan Qiongyu has indeed promoted economic development, there are also many Liuyu staff who neglected their duties and indulged in pleasure.

It seems that from the root, the Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu is also a double-edged sword to some extent..."

Qingque spoke in an official tone with an air of pretentiousness: "Everything has its trade-offs. When I was in school, I saw a planet from the Jade Star. It was said that even video games there were called 'cyber drugs'!

But after economic development, that planet will have plenty of esports events, official promotions, and policy support in the field of electronic games. We have to look at things from a development perspective~"

"Hmph, I'm not planning on blaming you for all these negative impacts. I will rectify the workplace environment at Taibusi. As long as you work hard, I won't make things difficult for you."
