Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 767

Chapter 762, Vitality

Dragon Eagle Star Region requires a 10% increase in output value over the next year. Simultaneously, the quality of life of the people can be improved by another 10%.

The former is relatively easy to understand.

The Alliance government’s measure of the latter is actually per capita consumption.

The average annual per capita consumption in the Dragon Eagle Star Region is 3.5 tax coins. This not only refers to residents’ personal spending on food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment, but also includes the Alliance’s local government’s infrastructure, production reinvestment, public service spending, and government expenditures.

Simply put, it’s the average per capita expenditure of all expenses on a planet/region/stellar region.

This figure is actually the highest in the entire Alliance.

The average quality of life of the people in the Dragon Eagle Star Region is indeed quite high.

Even if much of the money isn’t directly spent by the residents themselves, better infrastructure and better public services will significantly improve residents’ living standards.

Even if per capita consumption rises another 10%, as long as the Dragon Eagle Star Region achieves a 10% output growth rate, the Alliance’s fiscal surplus in the region could still increase by nearly 100 billion.

Gu Hang remains highly optimistic about the Dragon Eagle Star Region’s continued rapid development.

Could it even grow to resemble the Sun Star Region and become another center of humanity?

Maintaining this momentum for even longer and longer might offer hope. The Alliance

has actually set higher growth targets for the thirteen star regions other than the Dragon Eagle Star Region, particularly the twelve in the Spider Web Universe.

This is because they all started from relatively low levels, benefiting from external assistance, industries relocated from the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and even many planets already possessing a substantial industrial base, simply waiting to dig out what remains useful from the ruins… Therefore, their development shouldn’t be drastically different.

Of course, different strategies and requirements will apply to different star regions, tailored to their specific circumstances.

For example, the Proud Claw and Menghe star regions face similar challenges, and the Alliance has consistently invested heavily in them. Over the next two years, the requirement for these two star regions is to maintain a combined fiscal surplus exceeding 200 billion while maintaining output growth.

The Alliance Central Committee’s requirements for the Alfonzo star region are even higher. After all, within that star region lies the Aramita Forge World, the economic engine for the entire sector. The Alliance’s instructions to the Aramita sect are to fully cooperate with the sector leader, hoping to achieve a fiscal surplus of 300 billion while maintaining rapid development. The

increased fiscal surpluses of these three star regions will significantly reduce the pressure on the Dragon Eagle star region.

As for star regions like Jingjie and Fox Moon, which were less severely affected by the war, they are required to return to profitability.

Regardless of the amount of profit, they must no longer be a financial burden on the Alliance. Any surpluses can be reinvested in their own star regions.

Baimu, Anguang, Lefo, Jianmen, Liaoguang, and Gucheng were the six star regions involved in the Iron Armor War, fighting on the northern and western fronts. The Alliance’s requirements for these six star regions aren’t necessarily to stop losing money within two years, but rather to maintain an economic growth rate of over 8%. Alliance investments must yield results, and fiscal losses must not escalate further.

The situation in the Princess Star Region is unique: the Alliance’s development efforts are substantial, but its foundation is severely weakened. The Alliance requires a growth rate of over 20%, but the required fiscal losses are lower, given the significant investment.

The Tangu Star Region is also unique. This region bears the brunt of the Alliance’s communication with the Imperial Center. The Alliance’s investment in it is the largest, particularly on Lingze. However, due to the increased access to Imperial officials facilitated by Imperial taxes and the favorable conditions for trade with the Imperial Center, this region’s economic growth should be even stronger. The Alliance requires that their losses not exceed 200 billion.

These goals are all based on the Alliance’s massive investments in various regions, which are fully factored into the financial statements of each star region.

If all goals can be achieved, the Alliance’s annual fiscal surplus will rise to 520 billion.

The pressure will be much less.

In the next two to four years, we can expect all star regions to return to profitability.

By then, the Alliance’s fiscal surplus could reach over two trillion yuan annually.

Adding in the war reimbursements the Imperial Central Government must pay, the overall fiscal pressure over the next fifteen years should be relatively minimal, leaving ample resources to capitalize on this opportunity for rapid development. Once all war reimbursements are paid, the Alliance’s development should be sufficient to meet the full tax burden without significant pressure.

In fact, if the rapid growth momentum can be sustained for a prolonged period, Imperial taxes might even become a mere drizzle.

At that point, the “bitter” phase will be over, leaving only the “sweet” phase.

This assumes the Empire doesn’t undergo any catastrophic changes during these fifteen years.

Shouldn’t it?

…

For Gu Hang, everything he’d heard was primarily about macro-level goals.

From his current perspective, it was simply impossible to focus on the micro-level.

He had the energy to see things through, but not the time.

Grasping the overall direction was paramount.

Of course, he wouldn’t let the Alliance government simply propose a bunch of goals and assume they would be achieved.

Ossena’s report wouldn’t be that simple either.

After discussing the Alliance’s overall situation, financial situation, economic development goals, and other topics, the focus shifted to practical matters.

While these were broad, they were at least macro-level plans.

The discussion primarily focused on industry.

For example, President Morgan of the Fox Moon Star Region has done a remarkable job. Although not located in the Alfonzo Realm, he has relentlessly leveraged his locational advantages to develop a vibrant and vibrant industry.

Another example is the Tangu Star Region, capitalizing on the rapid development of Lingze Star. They have imported some of the goods that have been selling well in trade with Holy Terra merchants. They have managed to import production lines and technology from the Dragon Eagle Star Region, producing locally and reducing transportation costs to generate significant profits. Developing the service industry and strengthening infrastructure around trade activities is another approach. Repairing merchant ships, even building and selling them locally… These inherent advantages are there, and leveraging them will lead to significant development.

Other worlds have also developed some initiatives tailored to their local conditions, which appear to be quite substantial.

Even the worst-hit Princess Star Region has introduced many mining ships. Those dead worlds after destruction are also valuable. Since they have been destroyed and there is no plan to rebuild, they might as well make use of the waste and carry out destructive mineral mining. The output is not small.

Coupled with some primary processing of minerals, although the overall process is difficult and lacks additional profits, it is quite extensive, but it can be done on a large scale and have a solid income. At present, most of their planets are still slowly clearing out parasitic infections, which is rare.

Looking at it in general, Gu Hang seemed to see countless people in the fourteen star regions of the alliance, sweating and struggling in various positions.

It is quite vibrant.
