Chapter 302: Mountain Rain is coming

On December 25 of the first year of Gaia, a system announcement resounded in China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"System announcement: On the occasion of the first anniversary of the expiration of the game's operation, the system will hold a second system auction at 10 a.m. on January 1, Gaia 2, and there will be many rare treasures for public auction, so stay tuned! Friendly reminder: Please prepare your funds in advance, otherwise you will go home empty-handed. ”

As soon as the announcement came out, the lords were gearing up.

In the first systematic auction, Ouyang Shuo took the limelight, and he alone won five of the ten auction varieties.

The effect of the auction has already been vividly reflected through three battles.

It is precisely by virtue of the weapons and equipment manufacturing technology manual obtained at the auction that the army of Shanhai County can play an outstanding role in the campaign, and win a large amount of campaign contribution value.

Time has passed, although it has just experienced a food crisis, but the territory with deep heritage has long come out of the financial crisis, and no one has tens of thousands of gold coins in their hands.

Therefore, the second system auction is bound to be more fiercely competitive.

Ouyang Shuo also didn't want to miss it!!

Just yesterday, the Financial Services Department (DSD) compiled statistics on the territory's fiscal revenue and expenditure for December.

After the full implementation of the county system in the territory, the fiscal and tax reform plan mentioned by Yingyu earlier was officially approved by Ouyang Shuo under the revision of the expert group and began to take effect.

According to the reform plan, a certain percentage of the county-level tax will be paid to the government office; The taxes at the prefectural level (including the separately established cities) are then paid to the county according to a certain percentage, which is currently the Lianzhou Hou Mansion.

Depending on the type of tax, the proportion of the tax paid is also different.

Also in December, the territorial tax rate was adjusted to fifteen and one, and the tax revenue was multiplied.

In December, Shanhai Mansion paid 15,500 gold coins in taxes, Tianfeng Mansion paid 7,500 gold coins in taxes, Beihai City paid 14,500 gold coins in taxes (including the profits of the Beidui Salt Farm), Yishui County paid 3,500 gold coins in taxes, and Gushan County paid 1,000 gold coins in taxes, a total of 42,000 gold coins.

The Wolf Mountain Mine, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the Property Department of the Finance Bureau, paid 8,500 gold coins in profits, Sanhua Distillery paid 7,500 gold coins, and Mulberry Garden and other industries paid 4,000 gold coins, a total of 20,000 gold coins.

Together, the two items are 62,000 gold coins.

The expenses of the Lianzhou Hou government mainly include military expenditures, administrative expenditures, and fiscal transfer payments. Among them, military expenditure accounted for the lion's share, including the salaries and other expenses of the Three Great Regiments, the Praetorian Brigade and the North Sea Fleet, totaling 27,500 gold coins.

The administrative expenses mainly include the various departments and offices of the Hou Mansion, the four major military workshops, the Yandong Military Factory, the Southwest University Hall and the Army Lecture Hall under construction, with a total expenditure of about 4,500 gold coins.

Among them, military workshops and military factories account for the majority of administrative expenses. Of course, when military equipment is sold to foreign countries, it will no longer be a financial burden, but will be one of the main sources of finance.

The financial transfer payment includes 4,000 gold coins for the official road project, 3,500 gold coins for the city wall project of Tianfeng City, 5,000 gold coins for the city wall project of Shanhai City, 2,000 gold coins for the construction project of the Army Lecture Hall, and 1,500 gold coins for the Gushan County transfer payment, for a total of 16,000 gold coins.

The three financial expenses together are 48,000 gold coins.

After calculation, the territory achieved a net fiscal income of 15,000 gold coins in December.

Whether it is tax payment or transfer payment, it is all done through the branches of Sihai Qian Zhuang in various prefectures and counties, and the Audit Department is responsible for supervision.

After the coordination of Yingyu, the banknote printing bureau of Sihai Qianzhuang has been formally established, and the papermaking workshop and printing workshop are built behind the headquarters of Sihai Qianzhuang, and Meng Zhida is personally in charge.

Of course, it will take some time before the issuance of real banknotes.

Because of the 5,000 gold coins paid for the legion trial, Ouyang Shuo only had 105,000 gold coins left in his storage bag. Therefore, all the net financial income in December was intercepted by Ouyang Shuo.

Together, the two items are 120,000 gold coins, which are all the funds for Ouyang Shuo to participate in the auction.

************

On the edge of the 100,000 Mountain, a young man stumbled along the mountain path with a tree branch.

The young man had traveled a long way, his hair was disheveled, and if he looked closely, there were still a few grains of bird droppings hanging on it; The man's face was dark, his eyes were sunken, and his cheeks were saggy.

It seems that this is a sleepy and hungry traveler.

Looking closely, the young man's clothes were already in tatters, and through the holes in the clothes, he could see that the man's body was full of wounds, blood stains had penetrated into the clothes, and the linen clothes were stuck to the flesh, some of the wounds had scabbed, and some were bleeding pus because of infection.

The wound was not only scratched by thorns, but in some places it was clearly a cut left by a sharp blade.

All this indicates that young men are not as simple as travelers.

The man's will was extremely tenacious, hunger and injury could not shake him, and his eyes were firm and focused.

Facing the morning light, the young man finally succeeded in walking out of the 100,000 mountains, with a relieved smile on his face. Perhaps the tight strings finally relaxed, and the man was just about to take a step and move on, but his body suddenly refused to obey the call, and he collapsed to the ground weakly.

Hunger and drowsiness hit like a tide, and the man finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out directly.

"Wake up, strong man! Wake up! "The patrol soldier found the man who had fainted on the ground.

"Captain, he seems to be unconscious!"

"Check to see if there are any signs, this person came out of the 100,000 mountains, unusual."

"Hey!" The creep groped around with the man and suddenly flipped over an iron plaque.

"Captain, what a sign!"

"I'll see." The team leader took the sign and his eyes stared: "This, this is the sign of the Military Intelligence Department." ”

"Military Intelligence Division?"

"Quick, this person must be a meticulous investigation in the mountain, hurry up and carry it to the infirmary for treatment, I'll go and inform the adults."

"Hey!"

************

When Leng Qian woke up, it was already night.

Out of professional habit, he vigilantly checked his surroundings and found himself in the infirmary. Not only have they been dressed cleanly, but their wounds have been properly treated.

"It seems to be saved!" Leng Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a doctor pushed the door in, saw that Leng Qian had woken up, and said with a smile: "The strong man is awake?" Okay, okay, I'll have someone prepare some food for the strong man. ”

Hearing what the doctor said, Leng Qian was really hungry, his stomach was growling, he hadn't eaten much for two days and three nights, and said gratefully: "Thank you, boss!" ”

"No, no. Zhuangman, you were sent by the city defense battalion, and the county magistrate also came to see you, seeing that you were in a coma, you didn't bother, how dare the little old man slack off. The doctor said and exited the room, ready to go for supper.

Leng Qian secretly called lucky, he remembered that he should have fainted on the edge of the mountain, and it seemed that he was discovered by the city defense battalion soldiers patrolling Gushan County and brought back to the hospital for treatment.

The 100,000 mountains are full of twists and turns, and the hardships are not enough for outsiders.

A month ago, he took more than a dozen capable members of the Military Intelligence Department and was ordered to go into the mountains to investigate. He was the only one who came back alive, and even the hummingbirds that accompanied him died unexpectedly, which was really unpredictable.

Just as Leng Qian was pondering, the door was pushed open again.

This time, in addition to the doctor who came in, there was also Ling Lei Fan of Gushan County.

The doctor of the medical hall put down the food box, exited the room with interest, and closed the door again, as for what the county master wanted to talk about with the patient, he didn't care, and he didn't dare to care.

Lei Fan had met Leng Qian, and before Leng Qian entered the mountain, the two had a period of communication. He was also the first to notice the anomaly of the mountain barbarians, and he had been waiting for news from the Military Intelligence Department.

What made him feel strange was that after the reconnaissance team of the Military Intelligence Department entered the 100,000 Mountain, there was no news, as if it had disappeared out of thin air, how not to make him anxious.

The conversation between the two was not as confidential as the doctor thought.

Since the establishment of the territory, the system of separation of military and political affairs has been implemented. Therefore, although Lei Fan is a county commander, he has no right to inquire about the performance of the military intelligence department's tasks.

Lei Fan is just a landlord's friendship and routine condolences. He knew that Leng Qian was not only one of the three giants of the Military Intelligence Department, but also highly regarded by the prince, and his future was limitless.

Waiting for Lei Fan to leave, Leng Qian simply ate something, recovered his strength, and left the medical hall.

Gushan County is not only close to the 100,000 mountains, but also the edge of the territory, and is the key reconnaissance area of the MI1; In order to facilitate the collection of intelligence, MI has set up a contact point in Gushan County.

The contact point is very secretive, and even Gushan County does not know about it.

Leng Qian left the medical hall and rushed here as soon as possible.

"Team Leader!" Seeing Leng Qian, the details left behind by the contact point were overjoyed.

Leng Qian waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, don't ask anything, prepare two fast horses for me, and tomorrow morning, I will rush back to the base camp and meet the prince." ”

"No!" Meticulously trained, immediately turn around and prepare.

Leng Qian nodded, found the hummingbird at the contact point, and reported some general information about the trip to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department through the hummingbird.

If nothing else, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department will receive the news by early tomorrow morning at the latest.

It has been more than half a year since the hummingbird was contributed by the Xuanniao tribe. Under the instruction of Ouyang Shuo, the Military Intelligence Department cultivated a large number of hummingbirds, and set up a complete communication network with hummingbirds as the core.

If it weren't for the hummingbird that Leng Qian brought with him on this trip, he was accidentally discovered by the enemy and died, and he wouldn't have been heard from for a month.

After making proper arrangements, Leng Qian returned to his room to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Leng Qian quietly left Gushan County and went straight to Shanhai City.

Just as Leng Qian was leaving, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department had already received a message from Leng Qian. When Song San, the director of military intelligence, received the news, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the Hou Mansion to report. (To be continued.) )
