"The price list on this form, everyone present can look at it, and if you think there is any place that is too expensive, you can bring it up. If you don't want to have trouble with the craftsmen and friends, you can also come to me quietly later. .If you can help me continue to drive down the price, then I will be very grateful to you."

Ariel's tone was very relaxed, but after this relaxation, few people could see the tiredness on her face.

However, such a sense of fatigue did pay off.Because she is very confident, after this quotation comes out, no one in Pelican City will have any objections.And no opinion is the result that Ariel most needs to achieve.

"Overall, rebuilding the entire ruins of Pelican City requires a total of 760 gold coins. I am very grateful to the craftsmen for saving the remaining balance, so in general, from cleaning the ruins to rebuilding, only 3760 gold coins are needed That's it."

"Then, then, let's look at the issue of pensions."

Ariel waited for everyone present to see the two quotations clearly, and then asked the flower fairies to put them away, and then asked the flower fairies to lift up and open the other two curtains.

"During this period of time, I visited the family members of each deceased and asked them about their income and property status. After that, I compiled a form here. Now, please open it."

After receiving Ariel's instructions, the two curtains were opened, and rows of money figures were once again announced in front of everyone.

Only this time, no one's name was written on the curtain.Instead, there are various digital codes.

"In order to avoid any trouble, I didn't write down the names of each deceased. But I believe that the family members of these deceased should be here. I also told you the unique numbers for you. You should also be able to see up to the amount of pension that you can get."

At this point, Ariel paused again for a moment, and only after the discussion of these citizens quieted down a little, did she continue to say——

"I know that there may be many people here who are not satisfied with this kind of pension, and I also hope to be as fair as possible. You can see that the price of the pension that everyone can get is similar, If the deceased is a pillar, then I will give a little more. If there are old, young and disabled people in the family who need to be supported, I will give a little more as appropriate, but in general, a pension of about 70 gold coins per person."

George, who was sitting on the seat next to him, nudged Eddie next to him with his elbow, and said, "What on earth does this woman want to do? Counting all the money, does it mean that she doesn't have to pay back the money? "

Eddie snorted coldly and said, "I don't know. But it doesn't matter, let's continue reading. Don't forget, we have prepared a big gift for her later."

The two nodded to each other, smiled slightly, and stopped talking.

However, their current composure hadn't lasted more than a minute, and they were all shocked by Ariel's next move.

"Have you finished reading it? If you have finished reading it, then now, I want to announce the bill details of the third phase. And this bill detail is from the end of last year's tax year in Pelican City to the last tax year. Monthly overall financial income statement."

As soon as this remark came out, the citizens who were citizens didn't seem to notice any problems, and they all continued to watch in a daze.

However, as the former manager of Pelican City, Round Cheese, as well as the staff of the city government, several older representatives of the chamber of commerce in the city, and even the members of the association and the Holy See over there, all of them were instant. My jaw dropped!

"Yes... mayor! Mayor Ariel! You... what are you talking about? What are you doing?!"

Round Cheese didn't seem to be able to adapt to the change of his identity for a while, so he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, with horror written all over his face.

Regarding this, Ariel smiled slightly and said, "Please sit beside me and just read it obediently. Come on! Open the bill statement!"

Before those shocked people came back to their senses, the flower fairies swarmed up and unfolded the financial list of Pelican City in front of everyone in such a revealing way!

It seemed that just to coordinate with the unfolding of this financial report, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the already gloomy sky, shocking everyone's hearts.

The first thousand 230 nine chapters finance is everything

The financial statements... are densely written on it, and all kinds of income and expenses are now listed clearly.

However, for someone who has studied like Ariel, such a professional bookkeeping method is indeed very clear.However, in the eyes of ordinary citizens, such dense bills turned out to be numbers and symbols that were not interesting at all.Some people may squint their eyes for a few lines with interest at first, but soon lose interest completely and turn their heads away.

only……

"That... woman!"

Eddie, who was sitting on the seat, clenched his fists with both hands, and his whole body was suspended from the seat.Now it's not just sparks between his fingers, but even the middle of his hair slowly starting to spark.

"That... bastard woman!"

Seeing Eddie trying to suppress his anger, George on the side quickly raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, saying, "Calm down! Calm down, brother! You must not lose your temper, you must calm down!"

The corner of Eddie's mouth twitched in a rage, wanting to say something, but in the end he suppressed the anger and disappointment in his heart, and sat silently on his own chair.

Seeing that Eddie finally endured it now, George finally heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head, looked at the woman on the rostrum, sneered, and said, "This bitch, is she really capable? She actually How dare you dare to do such a thing!"

"I have to say, the president's move is really amazing."

On the other side, looking at the huge detailed financial list of Pelican City on the stage, Margo folded her hands on her chest, smiled, and said——

"However, it's also thanks to the president. If someone else does this kind of thing, I'm afraid he will be hacked to death before he can do this kind of thing."

Ke Ke on the side also shook her finger, and said with a smile: "The president's sister is amazing~~~! Hehe, I knew that the president's sister is the most powerful!"

The two are acting so familiar now, as if they understand everything, which makes Tesla standing next to him look a little depressed.

The assembler took a peek at the bills, and then asked, "Uh... what does this mean? Why does the announcement of Pelican City's bills make it look so powerful?"

Ke Ke laughed, put on the appearance of an old god, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is not that this method is very powerful, but that this method must not be accepted by others."

Tesla frowned: "Why?"

Margot covered her mouth with a light smile, and said: "Our dear assembler, let me ask you, if you become the mayor of a city, you will know how much money the city earns and how much it spends every year. It's clear, but no one else knows about these things. Under such circumstances, if you want to get rich, is there any way?"

Tesla was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If you make a fortune...do you take money from the city's treasury?"

Margaux clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Cong~~~Ming."

Ke Ke continued: "It's not just about taking money! It's also using the government's treasury to launder money~~~ Do some illegal business~~~ Even use the city's money to resell various materials and leave the profits to Myself, if you return the money to the government and earn the price difference for no reason, then it is really too easy!"

Margaux: "And our president is now announcing the government's fiscal revenue for the previous year, so what does it mean?"

Tesla: "It means...means...does it mean that since the mayor of Pelican City can announce the finances, why are the mayors of other cities unwilling to announce the finances?"

Coco: "Ding dong~~~! Congratulations, you got the answer right!"

Margo raised her head, looked at the girl standing on the rostrum, with a slightly serious face, but endless light in her eyes, and said with admiration: "Our Pelican City announces its finances. If this is the case, all Citizens can know how much money the city under our president's control has earned and spent. Ordinary people may not care about this information, but there will always be curious people who will continue to count for us. When they find out that their calculations are close to our published prices, they will agree with our mayor."

Ke Ke: "But on the contrary~~~ If the managers of other cities refuse to disclose their city's income, then it means that there must be some kind of tricks in it! The way our president is doing now is tantamount to Open the eyes of all ordinary people and let everyone know that there are still such things that can be done in this world! And we humans are creatures~~~ As long as we know that certain things can be done, we can do it again. If you want ordinary people not to do that, I'm afraid it won't be so easy~~~"

After hearing this, Tesla also showed a suddenly realized expression.He nodded lightly, and said: "So that's how it is... The president thinks so! Well, if the finances are announced, then it is equivalent to forcing other leaders around to announce the finances... But once the finances are announced, those The fact that the leaders of the city use the city’s finances to enrich their own pockets will be revealed! In the future, it will not be so easy for them to incite ordinary farmers to come to trouble us!”

Margaux nodded lightly: "It's not just that, once the finances need to be announced, those lords who think that the city's money is their own money will not put their hands into the pockets of (harmonious) common people in the future. It's so easy. Of course, this kind of thing is just the beginning, and there will definitely be many repetitions, and we need to be prepared to continue to deal with it."

There was also a bit of admiration in Tesla's eyes.He nodded silently and continued to look at the financial statements.

However, when he was looking at all the finances of Pelican City so far with relish, a member of Song of the Mermaid twitched involuntarily.

"President..."

Cream silently clenched his hands tightly, pinching the side of his pants, his whole body began to tremble slightly.

"what happened?"

Brad, who was next to him, saw that Cream started to tremble from head to toe, and asked with some concern.

Cream shook his head, smiled at Brad, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little cold, I shivered."

"Is it cold?" Brad raised his head, looked at the thundering sky, and said, "It's indeed cooler today than the previous two days, it's cloudy. But...is it cold like this? I'm hot right now. I'm sweating on my back, I just hope the rain will come down soon so I can cool down."

Cream smiled, perfunctory.Seeing that Cream didn't have any thoughts, Brad naturally turned his head to look at Ariel on the stage, and stopped paying attention to Cream.

So... this cold, is it because today is cloudy?

of course not.

Cream knew very well that the reason he felt the chills in his back now was due to some other reasons.

Announcing the finances of Pelican City, everyone felt that this seemed to be an attempt to influence the lords of other cities to announce their finances to ordinary people, so that those lords could no longer use the information asymmetry to target Pelican City.

but……

but!

If this kind of thing continues...what will happen?

If this attitude continues, the common people will no longer be satisfied with letting the lords announce their financial revenue, and even ask those big nobles... those earls, dukes!Even...if the royal family is required to announce their financial revenue, what will happen to the situation?

Just like Brad next to him, this stupid big man has always had the greatest imagination of the royal family, that is, the prince inside can use a golden hoe to hoe the ground.

But once even a stupid guy like Brad can understand the real income and consumption of the royal family, what will the ordinary people think in their hearts?

Those nobles...the royal family, would they allow the president of Mermaid Song, the mayor of Pelican City, to do such a thing as announcing the financial revenue of a region?

The more he thought about it, the more cold sweat grew on Cream's palm.

But Ariel, who was on the stage, didn't notice the assassin guarding the prisoners, but continued to say——

"As you can see, this is our financial budget statement. It records all expenses and income in detail, and I sorted it out and wrote it here. This is what I obtained by using the information of Pelican City. It’s sorted out, if anyone thinks there’s something wrong with it, it’s okay, you can just tell me. If you confirm that you are right, I will definitely modify it. However, what I want you to see is not these huge calculation processes , but the result here."

Ariel walked to the edge of the curtain, stretched out her hand, patted on the last "surplus" payment, and said——

"As of last month, that is, as of the end of June, the total debt of Pelican City was 6 gold coins. At the same time, since our city has been expanding in general in the past period of time, there are many places to spend money, so our book The balance is 1302 gold coins."

"In other words, with the current economic situation of Pelican City, it is absolutely impossible to support the expenses of cleaning up the ruins of the entire city and issuing pensions."

After the voice fell, Ariel paused, not continuing to speak.

Sure enough, about three seconds after her voice stopped, bursts of discussions erupted again from the crowd of citizens.

Everyone thought that Pelican City had been expanding for the past time, as if the entire city had tons of money!But now after taking out all the books, everyone discovered that this thriving city does not have that much money in essence!

Chapter 240 Philanthropist

So what about the ruins?What about pensions?

Not only those citizens, but even Yuan Cheese was stunned looking at such accounts now, with his mouth open, unable to utter a word.

Ariel didn't pay attention to the former mayor's irresponsibility, but waited until the noise reached a peak, then stretched out her hand, suppressed everyone's emotions, and continued to speak: "Please calm down, calm down and listen to me! "

"Although our city's book funds are not much, and if we add debts, it seems to be on the verge of bankruptcy. But I am here, as a graduate of the Economics Department of Lao Tengshu College, to tell you that this is the The normal logic of a city’s healthy development.”

"Although we spent a lot of money, it seems that we have lost a lot of money. But you can see that all the money has been invested in the infrastructure of our Pelican City. The elemental lights, roads, markets, squares, and city scale of our city The expansion of infrastructure and the expansion of infrastructure all require money. All of this money has become a part of our city. On the surface, they seem to have disappeared, but they have become a part of our Pelican City. For our city to be able to Further development and secret cooperation! Therefore, this account is only an account on paper, as long as there are no accidents, then our city will not only have no problems, but will still be thriving!"

Hearing what Ariel, an old Tengshu graduate, said, most of these citizens breathed out again and fell silent.

But at this moment, Ariel's expression changed, and she continued: "But that's the problem. There's no accident." Unfortunately, our Pelican City is facing an accident right now. Therefore, although our city is thriving , but it is true that such a sum of cash cannot be used in a short period of time to clean up the ruins and issue pensions."

Having said that, Ariel glanced at the prisoners sitting below, looking into their eyes.

After the detailed explanation just now, these prisoners also began to be gradually attracted by Ariel's words, and listened quietly.

Seeing that they were all so serious, Ariel nodded silently, and continued——
