Chapter 309, Administration

The recovered western region of the mainland was divided into three provinces, namely Baojun Province, Gushu Province, and Peninsula Province.

The name is actually very random. Baojun is the area where Blackbird City is located, and the name is taken from the past name of the ruins of the city here in the pre-war era; 'Old Tree' is the western and northeastern part of the mainland, with a large tree. The ancient trees are a bit surprising, so I simply called it this name; the peninsula is the southwest part, with a protruding peninsula.

The three provinces have a total population of more than 300 million.

In fact, according to past records, it should be nearly 2000 million.But firstly, there may be problems with the statistics in the past, and secondly, under the rule of Blackbird Heavy Industries, a large number of people were transformed into unconscious cyborgs, or died in past surgeries. Died in labor, or died in the war with the Alliance.

As of now, there are only 100 million left.The other 200 million people migrated to the hinterland of the alliance following the supply convoys returning during the war.

These relocated populations were mainly added to two places-Weixing City and Beiqinggu Province.

They are also the two areas with the greatest demand for labor.

Needless to say, Weixing City is an industrial center. The explosive development of industry has created a black hole in demand for labor.

The North Green Valley area is not much better.The per capita output value there is quite high, but this output value is brought about by the huge per capita cultivated area and heavy labor.Even though Beiqing Valley has almost fully mechanized and industrialized agricultural production, each of those agricultural workers has too many fields to take care of, and their working hours remain high.

Of course, agricultural workers in the Qinggu area have every incentive to do so.Their efforts will be rewarded under the alliance's system.Based on their total working hours and total output in the past year, as long as they work normally, almost all of them will receive a personal promotion at the end of the year. It is common for their salary to be raised from E5 to E6, and even 30% of people. Directly upgraded to E7.

Moving from E5 to E6 means that basic benefits and allowances have increased by 50%; mentioning E7 is equivalent to doubling.

The benefits and allowances of the E5 level have far exceeded what they used to be like when they were 'serfs' on the plantation, and they were already living like individuals.On this basis, if it rises by half or even doubles, it will have a significant effect on improving living standards.

This is a reward for their hard work, but Gu Hang doesn't intend to let them continue to work 14 hours a day or even more forever.

The 100 million people coming from the three western provinces will be able to relieve a certain amount of pressure.

As for cultivating more land, more people are still needed.

At present, after the unification, there are more than 5000 million people under the rule of the entire alliance, and the total annual output value has reached [-] and [-] million tax coins.

The per capita output value has exceeded 1, but it has just passed.

The reason for this is mainly due to the uneven development of productivity in various places on the Raging Owl Star.

Beiqinggu and Weixingcheng are very high, but other areas have basically not exceeded 1.

According to the imperial tax standards, paying one-tenth of the tax is not only stress-free, but also more than enough.

At present, the per capita living consumption level under the alliance is about 0.6 tax coins/person/year. Objectively speaking, this is not a particularly high living standard. It is about enough to have enough food and clothing, and is just shy of being well-off.

But people's satisfaction is very high.

Although not rich, it is much better than struggling to survive before.

Happiness is relative.

The current consumption scale of Quannu Xiaoxing is about 700 million tax coins, and theoretically there should be a 'residual value' of 500 million.

The administrative efficiency of the alliance is very high. From the residual value of 500 million, it can collect 500 million into the alliance's finances.

This is rare, and you will know by comparing it.

Koruga No. 3 has a population of 400 billion, an annual output value of at least 280 billion, per capita consumption of 0.3, and a residual value of 160 billion tax coins. Logically speaking, it should be relatively easy to levy an annual imperial tax of 40 billion.But the Koroga government simply can't do it.They levy more than 20 billion every year to survive, and the rest has to be handed over to the population.

This is the difference in administrative efficiency.

The alliance is strong in this regard mainly due to two points.

First, it is a structural issue.Under the overall planned economy, the rentier class between the government and producers has been greatly eliminated.Factory owners, plantation owners, entrepreneurs... these are essentially employees of the Union government.The means of production are not owned by these managers but by the alliance.Work motivation is supplemented by rank promotion and additional allowances.

There is no "collection" link here. All output is owned by the government and is subject to government deployment.

But if that's all, that's not enough.

The number of administrative personnel in the alliance is not large, but their efficiency is high. Thanks to the persistent anti-corruption, anti-malfeasance, and incentive policies for administrative personnel, the entire society is still operating in an efficient and clear political environment.

But even so, there is still a lot of production value in the middle that has 'disappeared'.There are 1000 million tax coins, which have neither entered regular residents' consumption nor entered the alliance's finances.

There are many reasons here. The majority lies in the service industry. After all, in the alliance's statistics, the output value of the service industry is not calculated.After that, there are administrative costs, waste, spontaneous investment...

But no matter what, the current situation of the alliance is more than enough to cope with the imperial tax.

As long as one-third of the financial budget is reserved every year, some development investments are slowed down, and the pace is slowed down, the entire alliance can enter the positive cycle of a normal imperial world.

But Gu Hang didn't intend to do this.

Under his instructions, the alliance's budget is still full and even has a lot of deficits.

The main focus is on reinvestment in production.

Under the alliance system, although there is a certain amount of private investment and the government encourages this behavior, the overall development still relies on large-scale official-led investment.

If you really want to slow down, the imperial tax will eat up a huge amount, and the military expenditure will eat up another amount, and the remaining investment will no longer be enough. Gu Hang does not want to slow down the speed of development.

On the one hand, the industrial center must continue to be built, on the other hand, the economic level of other regions in the alliance must rise.

Of course, another important factor restricting the development of the entire planet is population.

For such a big planet, more than 4000 million people are still too few.

Living on your own is too slow.Although many policies have been introduced to encourage childbirth, that is for the future.As for now, immigration is still the most important way.

The two largest immigration routes are Black Arrow and Koroga 3.

According to China Airlines' plan, they will continue to bring in at least 1000 million people from outside in the next two years.

This is also a big challenge to the coalition government.

No matter how Mr. Gu accomplishes this, government officials must do a good job in taking over such a large population.How to arrange things economically, how to clarify identity politically, how to eliminate differences culturally...

There are many difficulties. As the Prime Minister of the Alliance, Oceana can only take a deep breath and then bite the bullet and make a plan.
