Chapter 86, Hebang Fuxing City (please order first!!!)
Sitting in the Alliance Council Hall, Gu Hang looked around.
The building here is quite similar. The circular dome has many complex reliefs, which have religious connotations. The image of the emperor can be seen everywhere; and it seems to vaguely tell the story of the ancestors who have gone through a difficult journey. A majestic story of alliance building amid ruins.
There is a small hole with a glass cover on the top, and the skylight shines through it. Even if you don't turn on the light on a sunny day, it will still be very bright.
Under the dome is a long table, where the alliance councilors usually hold meetings.
Further up the long table, on the platform five steps up, there is a throne-like chair.
According to the design assumptions, there should be a seat exclusively for the governor.
Back then, when the alliance was revived, the first-generation governor should have been sitting in that high position, watching the legislators below discussing and solving various problems in the reconstruction process of the Raging Owl Star. Proposals were put forward one by one, problems were solved one by one, and plans were implemented one by one...
It should have been a glorious time.
To this day, there are still many people on Raging Owl who miss that time - especially after experiencing the second generation of governors.
Gu Hang didn't know much about the deeds of that generation of governor, and he didn't think that he was the heir to his legacy. But that doesn't stop him from doing something similar in the same place.
Sitting down, Gu Hang had new information in his system.
[You have occupied the city: Fuxing City. 】
[Fixed monthly income in Fuxing City: 68 gift points]
Gu Hang was happy to see the occupation and Fuxing City included in the system statistics.
When he first landed as governor a few months ago, he was looking forward to this news, but he never saw it. Today, I finally got my wish.
However, after seeing the number 68, Gu Hang's brows furrowed severely.
This is too low!
Ridiculously low!
The Governor's Camp he built from scratch, plus the Wasted Cave Society that was so rotten during the conquest, together can provide him with 61 points of gifts.
Reaching that number, the combined population of the two camps is just over 10,000. How can Fuxing City, which has a population of nearly one million, only have such a small number?
Then, he saw a series of negative effects in Fuxing City within this integrated internal affairs interface.
[City shutdown: Greatly reducing city income. 】
[Anarchy: Significantly reduces city income. 】
In addition to [anarchy], there are several other states with the term "significant reduction in urban income", including: [uneasy people], [extremely low average living standards], [hungry city], [Low management level], [Poor infrastructure], [Low population quality], [Low public order], [Rebels],...
There are several entries that moderately reduce income: [Disordered Market], [Trade Interruption], [Extensive Development], [Post-War Chaos], [Martial Control State], [Administrative Chaos], [Grassroots Loss of Control], 【Cult and heresy】......
I won’t mention the small reduction in income, but it’s just a lot anyway.
Gu Hang was speechless and choked.
With so many negative effects, it doesn’t seem unbelievable that the gift income has plummeted to the bottom...
However, Gu Hang quickly adjusted his mentality.
This situation was not something he had not expected at all.
My previous thought was that even if I defeated the city by military means, I would still need to go through governance in order to make the system recognize that the city belongs to me.
And now there are a lot of negative effects stacked on it, which greatly reduces the income, which probably means the same thing.
Likewise, you can also think about the positive side of this matter. These clear negative effects clearly pointed out to Gu Hang the problems that needed to be solved.
If you attack them one by one, you'll probably be fine.
In his opinion, these debuffs in Fuxing City can be roughly divided into two categories: development issues and management issues.
The former cannot be achieved immediately. Productivity needs to be increased and trade routes need to be restored so that people can have enough food and clothing, and have the energy to transform the city and achieve a better standard of living.
As for management issues, some are deep-rooted and will take time to deal with. But at least some problems can be solved immediately.
For example, the biggest debuff: [City Shutdown].
Factories are closed, shops are closed, and city residents are afraid to even go out on the streets either because of military control or because of fear and uneasiness.
Unable to work, not enough food stored... This was what Gu Hang was about to do.
He needs to immediately establish an administrative system, no matter how rudimentary, but at least effective, to deal with the problem of city shutdown.
That will be a completely new executive team.
He had hesitated to do this before, but the death of old Hodgson completely extinguished that idea.
If there is an old man who supports him wholeheartedly and has a reputation in the alliance to assist him, he may even take over the original administrative system of Fuxing City and slowly carry out reforms.
But now?
Pull it down.
If we continue to use the administrative system of the past, there will be constraints.
The battle has been won, so why do we still need to get involved with Fuxing City and the original system of the alliance government?
What's more, is there anything good about the original system of the coalition government? In the past, the governors had insufficient control and needed to coordinate all parties and factions and compromise with each other.
However, Gu Hang didn’t have to.
At least not for now.
There is no need for him to create a parliamentary system and gather all factions, all walks of life, and all kinds of people with power and opinions here, so that things can be done well.
He decided to abandon the original system and completely rebuild a highly centralized regime and system to implement his will with high efficiency.
He will retain the name 'Alliance', which is a necessary political name to conquer and rule the settlements outside Fuxing City. But other than that, he didn't plan to leave much else behind.
He would abolish parliament entirely and replace it with a coalition government. The government has many departments under its jurisdiction, and the affairs officer will become the leader. In the future, administrative affairs officers will be proposed to make decisions and guide urban development.
The old system will be swept away; the once-powerful people and the rentier class will be liquidated; the entire class of factory owners will be wiped out in one wave, and will be replaced by collective factories owned by the government...< br>
After the old interest groups are eliminated, the positions and interests they free up will become the interests of newcomers.
New interest groups grew up from the new system and emerged relying on the governor. In turn, they will be the Governor's strongest supporters.
This process will be a revolution that some people think is violent.
There were footsteps at the door. Gu Hang ended his contemplation and looked up to see a slightly thin girl wearing a gray and blue shirt walking in.
Oceana is coming.
