Volume 5 Chapter 133 Giving books

Count Will looked over Banta City’s financial reports from last month in his hands and slightly knit his brows.

This didn’t mean that this report wasn’t good, rather the numbers were magnificent. If anyone else saw it, they would be shocked.

According to this financial report, Banta City had earned four hundred and sixty thousand gold coins last month. It had already surpassed Anvilmar City, becoming the city with the highest revenue in the entire Lampuri Kingdom.

It had to be known, Anvilmar City as the capital of the Lampuri Kingdom was a place that received special attention from the entire city. Adding in the fact that it gathered most of the large nobles and large companies in the kingdom, its financial revenue was far above the other cities of the kingdom.

If this was eight years ago before the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had appeared, Banta City’s income would even be negative, having to take some subsidies from the kingdom each year just to stay afloat. Although they couldn’t be considered the worst city in the Lampuri Kingdom, they were at the bottom. They never would have thought that there would be a day where they would surpass Anvilmar City.

However, in just eight years, Banta City had achieved all this that they never would have imagined before. It was without a doubt that everyone in Banta City could be proud of.

As the current City Lord and the leader who had created this glory in Banta City over the years, Count Will was clearly qualified to feel happy and proud.

When he saw this financial report at first, Count Will had been happy and had felt deeply content.

But when he saw some numbers that should have been normal, his mood greatly changed.

These numbers were related to the statistics for Banta City’s monthly revenue.

According to the stats, Banta City had around four hundred and sixty thousand gold coins this month. Compared to the revenue of March which was four hundred and forty gold coins, this was an increase of around 4%.

For a city of the scale of Banta City, being able to increase it by 4% was already considered quite the accomplishment.

But Count Will clearly remembered that it was an increase of 6% in last month’s financial report. The month before that was 8% and the month before that was 9%.

If he looked at the financial reports from the last half a year, he would find that this statistic was decreasing with each month.

This meant that Banta City’s current revenue growth speed was slowing down.

With this trend, by the end of the year, Banta City’s financial revenue might not even grow by that much anymore.

It might even…..decrease!

“Impossible!” Count Will shook his head, denying the guess that came from the bottom of his heart.

But when he calmly thought about it, he had to admit that this was a fact that he had to face.

Banta City’s development had entered a bottleneck, it would be very hard for Banta City to quickly develop like before when the magic machine industry had just appeared.

To solve this problem, other than strengthening Banta City’s development directions, the most important thing was to put more power into the backbone of Banta City, the magic machine industry.

After walking around his office for half an hour, Count Will left the City Lord Manor. He sat in his personal Magic Sedan and headed west to the new district.

This was another new district that Banta City started developing last year.

According to Count Will’s plan, this new district would be a complete city. It would be like the previous new districts, with each district playing a different role.

In this completel city, there were already three hotels, many stores, different factories on both sides of the road, and a long row of houses built by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.

These six houses that were over twenty meters high were the Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s new “apartment buildings”. Because there was a water system and a water heating system, as well as a perfect sewage system, it became one of the most convenient housing in Banta City.

At the same time, because it wasn’t that expensive, far less than the high class villas, it was greatly welcomed when it was introduced.

Opposite of these apartment buildings, there was a large patch of land where construction was about to begin.
