Less than 24 hours after Wang Qi moved in, the first front-of-house meeting in Wangcheng began.
This meeting is mainly to inform Wang Tingshu about its operation methods.
Participants included various former mayors, clan leaders, and current officials from various departments. There were dozens of conscripts outside the hall.
Wang Qi is the teacher and uses the blackboard that grows automatically in the hall to explain to everyone:
“Without taxation, our city would struggle to operate, and we would rely on citizens to fight and resolve a large number of issues on their own, which would not go far in the future.
When the Wangting Tree has grown to this stage, it has become an important tool for city governance. I call it the Local Tax Management Law.
The Royal Court Tree can grow three types of resources, namely currency, house seeds, and land tax seeds.
Needless to say, currency. In the absence of precious metals, the currency produced by Wangtingshu can meet the needs of anti-counterfeiting. It is also easier to find golden expansion organs for currency verification in various areas. The disadvantage is that the initial stock is limited, and everyone still needs to continue living on the ground. For a while, wait for the Wangting tree to grow more money.
This kind of currency is called Phoenix Coin, and it has three denominations, namely 10 yuan, 1 yuan, and 1 jiao. The purchasing power of a jiao should be one cooked flour cake that is enough for the Ye people to eat.
Where does its purchasing power come from?
It is given by the people who live in the Wangting tree. The concepts are complicated, so you don’t need to understand them. I will explain them at the financial meeting of the administrative department. "
Where does the value of currency come from? This is a primary school question, but it is actually a metaphysical question, because everyone knows that currency in the information age has no value at all, and is an agglomeration of "confidence" that can turn into waste paper at any time.
Wang Qi plans to use Wangtingshu's complete public facilities to assign value to currency. There is a tap water supply here, automatic sewer pipes, and smooth and open roads. As long as the Wangting trees are alive and the groundwater is not exhausted, they do not need maintenance.
Precious metals can give a stable value to a currency, and obviously so can the properties of a public utility, since there are no similarly zero-cost substitutes available elsewhere.
The normal operation of the Wangting Tree is the basis for the stability of the Phoenix Coin price.
Most of these things can't be understood, and Wang Qi doesn't need to be verbose at the meeting in front of the palace.
"House seeds have numbers, with two codes before and after, such as '1-5', which can only be grown on type 1 foundations. After growing, they will be houses numbered 5. They need to be purchased with Phoenix coins. The specific price is circulated in Phoenix coins Determined after launch.
The key point is the land tax seeds. In order to prevent some people from maliciously raising prices and hoarding royal properties, each house needs to swallow one land tax seed every year. Without this seed, after an interval of fifteen months, the house would gradually grow into solid wood, a process that, once begun, would be irreversible and would eventually detach from the foundation of the house and become part of the royal court's cargo, since the untaken wood would be wrapped in it. Personal belongings and appliances can be called 'blind box logs'.
The only authority that produces local tax seeds is the Wangting Local Taxation Bureau. This department will also be established later. Wangting residents will receive the seeds after paying taxes every year. "
The explanation at the conference only focused on the use of seeds, and did not give a detailed explanation of the currency system. In fact, it is easy to understand once the three things are presented.
Local tax seeds, said to be local taxes, are actually exchanged for public resource usage fees. This process will use Phoenix coins, and the currency value of Phoenix coins will be generated as a result, and then spread to all areas of the city.
Through the local tax system, it is enough for the royal court to generate purchasing power and maintain a certain scale of government affairs and military systems.
As for the house seeds, it actually doesn’t matter whether there is a price tag or not, but in order to improve the sense of belonging and prevent people from feeling that the house belongs to someone else, a fee still needs to be charged. After all, even if you build it yourself, you still need to invest labor and materials.
At this stage, even if Phoenix Coin begins to circulate, the circulation volume will be relatively limited, so the first batch of house seeds will have to wait, and currency circulation will start the value assignment process in other directions.
In the last paragraph of the meeting in front of the palace, Wang Qi announced the opening of surface housing construction.
There will be no fees for this part of the royal court, and there will be no land tax in the future. Of course, house seeds cannot be used directly on the ground. The main purpose is to allow Phoenix coins to circulate between the two tribes. The reason why it has been postponed until now is that people are worried that random construction will destroy the advantage of the super flat position and cause the Wangting tree to grow crookedly.
The igneous super-flat plains have many benefits, and it can be seen that Solaris chose this place specifically.
During the growth process of Wangting Tree, the super-flat plain provided good positioning accuracy. After completing the first stage of growth, it was basically consistent with Wang Qi's paper design. Only a few straightness and arcs appeared in a few places that were difficult for non-professionals to detect. slight deviation.
When developing on the ground, the terrain also provides many conveniences. For example, there is no need to deliberately build roads, and some non-degraded roots are used to mark each large or small plot of land, which itself is a simple and easy-to-understand zoning form.
Of course there are not-so-good places.
Here we need to trace the cause of the super-flat plain.
The formation of super-flat terrain requires several conditions: a stable high-temperature lava lake; no external lava input; and cooling from bottom to top.
Wang Qi is not a geological expert and can only use counter-evidence to reason.
If the temperature of the lava lake is not high enough, its surface will become rocky, which is the black surface that can be seen on volcanic islands, and it will be torn apart by the internal lava from time to time. This acne-squeezing phenomenon will destroy the super flat surface.
The same goes for the inflow of external lava. The viscosity of lava is very high and has extremely strong surface tension. It is a very slow process to achieve self-leveling. External input of lava will cause self-leveling to never be achieved.
Cooling, cooling from top to bottom, has the disadvantage that the internal air pressure of the lava cannot be released after the surface layer is cooled, and acne will also occur. Secondly, due to thermal expansion and contraction, the cooling process below after the surface forms a shell will produce many cavities. There are volcanic activities more than ten kilometers to the north. Such natural cavities cannot achieve force balance and will inevitably collapse.
Therefore, cooling must be completed from bottom to top. One of the possible reasons is the erosion of groundwater, but it is not certain, because to completely achieve cooling from bottom to top, the atmospheric temperature must be high enough to keep the surface in an incandescent state for a long time.
So what kind of rock formation characteristics does the ultra-flat terrain formed by meeting these conditions have?
The answer is that there are fewer pores and it is easy to produce dense glassy minerals, which are the so-called obsidian.
Through the growth process of two food trees and the Wangting tree, the pried rock layers were sampled. The main structure of the entire super flat plain is granite and obsidian. The underlying rock seems to be called rhyolite? Wang Qi is not sure, but they are all classified as igneous rocks.
In human terms, the entire royal city is located on an obsidian mine...if natural black glass can be called a mine.
Obsidian was regarded as jewelry in the world of Wang Qi's previous life, but under the current conditions, it could only be obsidian, which was still far from being a jewelry.
Both granite and obsidian have very high hardness, and the characteristics of obsidian cause safety risks when artificial construction work is carried out on the surface.
Obsidian fragments are very sharp and can be used directly as a scalpel if the shape is suitable. You can imagine how dangerous the fragments that pop out due to the explosion of the vitreous body are when the rock formation is destroyed manually.
Just a few days after the permit for surface housing was issued, a lot of bloodshed broke out.
