Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 270

270. Chapter 269, Alliance Output Value

Gu Hang still had time, so he chatted with Wu Jiarong for a while.

Based on Wu Jiarong’s extremely fast progress, he thought of another idea:

“If we send more people to join the institute, I don’t mean peripheral ones, but formal ones like you who can study black boxes, wouldn’t the entire alliance become very powerful in the training of scientific researchers?”

“In theory, yes.” Wu Jiarong said, “Although I can share some of my research results, I have also established a research journal in the technical college, which can also accelerate the training of technicians; and, if these technicians come to participate in the research of black boxes and come to duplicate conclusions and results, it will not help their growth much. But in general, we have too many black boxes here, and I can’t study them all. It will definitely be good to have more helpers.”

“The only problem is confidentiality.”

At this point, Gu Hang thought of Hu Ke again.

He must be a good choice.

But after all, he is an outsider and needs to be tested.

Gu Hang said to Wu Jiarong, “Pick a few talented young people and bring them to meet me.”

“Okay!” Wu Jiarong was also very happy after getting permission. “There are indeed a few good seedlings. After they join, I will definitely pay attention to the security issues of confidentiality.”

“Well, we can’t relax here.”

Gu Hang said this, but at the same time he also made plans for double insurance.

Later, he met the four young people, three men and one woman, who were picked by Wu Jiarong.

Gu Hang talked to them, which was considered an interview.

During the interview, he used his mind to tamper with them and did some tricks.

He tried his best to avoid abusing this ability, but when it came to the secrets of the black box, he had to be cautious.

He would not interfere with the mind too much, but just added a layer of mental maze to prevent these participants from leaking secrets.

Next, Wu Jiarong will lead these four young people, who are actually at the level of technical specialists at most, into the real gate of the research institute.

They were confused and didn’t understand what kind of hall they were about to enter.

…

After doing all this, Gu Hang hurriedly boarded the Feng Falcon and embarked on the journey back to Fuxing City.

There, many senior officials of the alliance have gathered together.

Gu Hang had to meet with Ossena, Lambert, Thadius and others one by one, listen to their recent work reports, and then host a work meeting for many senior officials of the alliance.

The content of Thadius’s report was relatively routine, that is, those things about military construction.

In the whole reporting process, it was actually mainly Gu Hang who was talking and he was listening.

Gu Hang will build the Angry Bear Legion to prepare for the subsequent becoming the Star Army; in addition, he will also have to worry about the newly built Eastern Army Group and Central Army Group.

After receiving the order from the Governor, Thadius hurried away.

Mobilizing troops and forming the Angry Bear Legion; reorganizing twelve divisions from the militia regiments of the three eastern provinces, these are all big moves, and he will have a lot of things to do next.

Then, there are more things to talk about with Ossena.

The Prime Minister of the Alliance gave a detailed account of the current development of the Alliance.

At present, there are 25 million people in the actual control area of the entire Alliance, divided into eight provinces.

According to calculations, the total output value of the alliance this year has reached 34.14 million tax coins.

Under this premise, the per capita welfare and allowances of the alliance have consumed a total of 10 million tax coins; administrative costs, development reinvestment, and military industry supply troops have consumed a total of 23 million tax coins, and the alliance’s fiscal surplus is about 1 million tax coins.

Of course, this so-called tax coin is actually a statistical algorithm, and the currency issued within the alliance is another matter. Many investments and benefits are not issued in currency, but in kind.

In addition, it must be mentioned that these are all normal economic production conditions within the alliance and do not include the output of the Weixingcheng Research Institute.

The output of the research institute cannot be calculated at all.

There are both direct outputs of various military products and the construction of many production lines, which are of extraordinary value.

In fact, if the output of the research institute is included, the alliance’s expenditure on industrial production reinvestment will be much higher than the apparent figures.

In terms of output, unlike what was expected, the largest output value province in the alliance is not the expected Weixingcheng Industrial Center, but the Beiqinggu Province.

The main reason is that the natural environment of Beiqinggu Province is so good. Sitting on the second largest land in the entire alliance, it can be called a thousand miles of fertile land. Correspondingly, the largest area is the Northern Border Province, but the land there is very barren.

The gap between the two is quite large.

Similarly, Beiqinggu Province has a population of 8 million, accounting for one-third of the entire alliance.

The most fertile land, the second largest area, the largest population… have created a province with the highest output value in the entire alliance.

Moreover, not to mention the total amount, the per capita output value alone is also the highest.

It is higher than the per capita output value of Weixing City.

This is mainly because after a large number of agricultural machinery were produced and transported to Weixing City, the land there was used very effectively. Eight million people were scattered on the vast fertile land, and farmers drove agricultural machinery. Each household took care of hundreds of acres of land, using genetically modified seeds, and industrial fertilizers to provide assistance. The output value would not be low.

The cultivated land that has been used in the Beiqinggu area has reached 200 million acres. In addition, the service industry, transportation industry, fertilizer and food processing industry derived from agricultural production have reached an annual output value of 2.3 tax coins per capita.

In contrast, the current per capita output value of Weixing City is only 1.95 tax coins, and the population is only 2.55 million, and the annual output value is a little short of 5 million.

This is the origin of the gap between the two.

Of course, when looking at development, we can’t just look at money.

The main output of Beiqinggu Province is agricultural products, mainly grain, supplemented by other types of cash crops.

These things are hard currency, whether they are eaten by themselves, or used as grain export trade, or even for tax payment, the price is very strong.

However, agriculture alone cannot make you rich, nor can you train a reliable army.

Moreover, large-scale agricultural production fundamentally relies on “land”, a resource with an upper limit.

Although, there is still a large amount of arable land in the Qinggu area that has not been used. According to estimates, the arable area in the Beiqinggu area can reach up to 1.2 billion mu; and the Nanqinggu is still in an undeveloped state. If it is really fully developed, it can also provide no less than 700 million mu of arable land.

But after all, this has an end.

But industrial mass production has no end.

As time goes by, the per capita output value of Weixing City will have room to rise further. And according to the plans of Prime Minister Ossena and Weixing City Mayor Patel, the construction of Weixing City will be accelerated in the next year.

The population of Weixing City has been growing very fast. In two years, it has developed from a flat land to an industrial city with a population of 2.5 million.

But it can be faster.

What restricts the further growth of the population is the expansion of industrial lines and the construction of supporting urban facilities.

In this regard, they expect to lay a solid foundation within half a year; then, within a year, the industrial population of Weixing City will be doubled again.

In this case, the industrial output value of Weixing City should be able to catch up with the agricultural output value of the Beiqing Valley area.

Of course, no matter what, the Beiqing Valley area and Weixing City are currently the most core sources of output value of the alliance. The two places together account for more than 67% of the total output value of the alliance.

The remaining provinces are lagging behind.

Except for the capital Fuxing City, the annual per capita output value barely reached 1 tax coin, and the rest did not exceed 1.

The poorest among them is the newly recovered Northern Province. Since the Far North Industrial City was assigned to the Central North Province, the main production capacity of the Polar Industrial Group was moved away during the administrative division. The Northern Province has the largest land in the entire alliance and a population of 3 million, but the per capita annual output value is only 0.34.

Let alone the subsequent investment and construction of the alliance there, just for the more than 3 million people, according to the welfare and allowance policy of the alliance, the per capita consumption is 0.4 tax coins, which is a loss-making business.

Other places are not much better. Even if the allowances and benefits are not loss-making, if the tax is calculated, there will be no profit.

If the investment and construction are taken into account, it is mostly a pure loss.

However, as I said, construction cannot be done purely for money. This is not doing business.

Although the natural environment of the Northern Province is harsh, there are mines.

The exploration team that worked everywhere in the alliance territory with [Resource Exploration Technology] has discovered three various types of mineral veins in the Northern Province in the past month alone.

In addition, there are many mining ruins left over from the pre-war era there, and it may be the most important mineral resource area of the alliance in the future.

Xiongya Province, one of the three eastern provinces, has found its own development path by relying on the Star Harbor; the other two provinces are not so good, but they are also trying their best. At least they still have ruins and mines in their own territories to clean up. The nest city in the pre-war era is still enough to pick up garbage for many years. Before it is completely exhausted, they still have a long time to find a way out.

Gaota Province, Zhongbei Province and other areas of Zhongyin Province are working hard to receive the overflow of industries from Weixing City, and it is expected that a large industrial circle will be formed with Weixing City as the center…

Everyone has a bright future!

Finally, Ossena concluded: “In the next two-year plan, I hope to double the total output value of the alliance; even the poorest province, the per capita output value must exceed 1.”

Gu Hang clapped his hands lightly.

He was basically satisfied with Ossena’s report.

What more can you ask for?

In fact, the alliance has only been in existence for two years since its establishment. Weixing City was built from scratch; Beiqing Valley was recovered just over a year ago; the three eastern provinces were recovered less than a year ago; and the northern border was recovered just a month ago.

Under such circumstances, the unreasonable golden finger that Gu Hang brought with him when he traveled through time was of course the biggest factor in the development to the present point. However, as the steward of the entire alliance government, the hard work that Ossena put in should not be ignored.

In the midst of applause, Gu Hang opened the character interface.

He could see that in Ossena’s character information, her potential had quietly been upgraded from R level to SR level. At the same time, there was an upgrade option behind her LV3 level.

Gu Hang clicked the upgrade without hesitation.

Ossena became a LV4 archon.

Moreover, she could continue to upgrade.

She had accumulated a lot of experience in this position.

However, Gu Hang did not have enough gift points in his hand.

There were only 194 points left, which could not meet the 500 points of gift required for the LV4 character to upgrade to LV5.

But it didn’t matter. After waiting for the subsequent “salary”, Gu Hang would not hesitate to give Ossena another level.

At present, Gu Hang’s monthly gift income has reached 3522 points. Of these, 3178 were provided by the Alliance, and the other 344 were provided by the Kingdom of Luman through the [Vassal] system.

It was quite touching.

In the past, if you earned a few thousand grace points after a battle, you would feel like you were rich. At that time, the monthly grace points were not much, and they were relatively useless.

But now it seems that fighting is certainly easy to get rich, but the daily accumulation of farming cannot be ignored.

Ten thousand grace points can be obtained by lying in bed for three months.

It’s nothing.

Moreover, the monthly grace point income will continue to grow as the Alliance grows.

…

After meeting Osena, Gu Hang met Lambert again.

He mentioned three main things.

One is the rule of law construction within the Alliance, which is progressing normally. Whether it is the criminal law or the civil law, Gu Hang has also read them seriously.

The rule of law is of course very important.

Another thing is the result of the anti-corruption campaign that started from the Beiqinggu Province and gradually spread to the entire Alliance.

A considerable number of Alliance officials were cleared and held accountable. The main problem is the officials who were converted from the original ruling class.

The Alliance has given them a chance, but they didn’t take it, so we can’t blame the Alliance for being ruthless.

The death penalty is relatively rare, and if it is really sentenced, it will be transformed into a servitor or servo skull, making the best use of it; most of them are mainly forced labor, and the lighter ones are imprisoned and demoted.

Don’t think that forced labor is easy. It’s better to just give the death penalty to 10 years of forced labor. The Alliance is not rich and developed enough to take care of and improve the working environment of prisoners. Generally, those sentenced to 10 years of forced labor will not live to that time.

In fact, the Alliance’s Servant Management Bureau and Servo Skull Studio have repeatedly found the head of the Chief Justice Lambert, hoping that he will sentence him to a heavier sentence when he returns.

If you sentence them to 10 years of forced labor, they won’t live more than 10 years, so why bother? Just give them the death penalty, and you can get them some materials for making servo skulls and servitors. If they are made into this thing, they can serve for much longer than 10 years.

Lambert said that he has carefully considered this matter.
