Chapter 230: Thigh

Yang Fan was not surprised by this.

Xiling Star had indeed been ravaged quite severely.

Everything was waiting to be rebuilt; continuing to blindly exploit like the Rao Family was meaningless.

Those low-level Divine Beings didn't have many resources to begin with; even with high-pressure rule, how much could really be squeezed out?

To take, one must first give.

Yang Fan understood this principle.

President Ma continued his report, "Boss."

"The Federation has granted a two-year tax exemption period."

"For this current month, the total tax revenue is approximately fifty billion."

"However, the expenditures are also significant."

"Civil servant salaries, basic urban maintenance, transportation route repairs, reconstruction of the public security system, commercial district restoration, immigration subsidies, plus some investments in education and healthcare."

"Currently, total expenditures are about ten billion."

"There is currently forty billion in liquid funds remaining."

President Ma looked at Yang Fan, awaiting his decision.

Yang Fan thought for a moment and spoke directly, "Leave ten billion as emergency funds."

"Inject the remaining thirty billion into the Divine Kingdom, prioritizing the restoration of Xiling Star's commercial environment."

"Understood," President Ma nodded. He then continued, "Additionally."

"The headquarters of Elephant Borrow has already been relocated here."

"I have also provided some tax incentives and invited many old friends to open branch offices here."

"At the same time, the immigration incentive policy has been released."

"Also, I have already exposed the affairs of the Rao Family in the surrounding Star Domains."

"Some of the demigods who left should return."

Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction. "Leave these matters to you. I trust you."

After speaking, President Ma seemed to suddenly recall something. "Oh right, Boss, besides your parents and friends."

"The entire Luo Family has also moved into Xiling Star."

Yang Fan was slightly taken aback, "The entire Family moved here?"

President Ma nodded with a smile. "Of course. Xiling Star is a vital thoroughfare."

"I sent them the coordinates, and after they checked the Virtual World, they understood that the development potential here far exceeds that of Yang County."

"The head of the Luo Family is a smart person. Naturally, they know how to choose."

Speaking of this, President Ma revealed a meaningful smile. "The only trouble is."

"Magistrate Wang Yun of Yang County was somewhat unwilling to let them go. After all, the first Family suddenly moving away has a significant impact."

"And this also means that the connection between you, Boss, and Yang County will become less and less."

"So I personally participated in the negotiations. Fortunately, he was quite sensible."

Looking at President Ma's slightly strange smile, Yang Fan frowned slightly; he felt that the negotiation process probably wasn't that pleasant.

However, he couldn't be bothered to ask further. As long as the important people had already left, that was enough.

As he became a peerless prodigy, Yang County had actually already received enough returns.

Often, a hometown does not necessarily equal home. A place that can truly be called home is always the place where someone is waiting for you.

People must always aim higher. For growth. For the future. No one will stay in the same place forever.

And some places can only ever be the road one traveled from.

"Since that's the case, send out a notification. Have everyone enter the Virtual World; I will go to Xiling Star immediately," Yang Fan said.

"Yes, Boss." As the words fell, President Ma's consciousness withdrew from the Virtual World.

A moment later, Yang Fan followed the coordinates and arrived at Xiling Star.

Upon landing, he discovered that in just one month, there had been significant changes here.

On the streets, those fierce and vicious law enforcement officers had long since disappeared. They were replaced by Divine Beings doing business everywhere.

By the side of the street, there was constant bickering. "Old Man Li! Do you want these twenty thousand cattle of mine or not?"

"No! You want to sell twenty thousand ordinary beasts for one thousand Faith Points? Do you think I'm stupid?"

The man selling the cattle immediately became anxious, "What ordinary beasts? These are top-quality Snowflake Cattle!"

"Get out of here! Old Man Zhang bought from you last time. His believers said they were tough! You aren't trying to fool a brother with cheap goods, are you?"

Not far away, there was also constant shouting. "Private trade of Bodhi Treasure Snake! Avoid taxes! First come, first served!"

"Erbao Grain Shop is open today! Leave your address! The boss delivers personally! Absolutely cheaper than the Mall!"

Various sounds mixed together, appearing somewhat noisy. But it made the entire city come alive again.

With Yang Fan's current Mental Energy, he could hear these conversations clearly.

Some bargained for a few dozen Faith Points, some sold at a loss just to attract customers, and others calculated every penny daily just to make a living.

These Divine Beings were not strong. In fact, most of them would only ever be at the bottom for their entire lives.

Yet, it was precisely these most ordinary people who supported the entire Human Federation.

Last month, this place was lifeless. Now that the management had changed, everyone started trying to make a living again. Thinking about making money again, thinking about climbing higher again.

Yang Fan suddenly understood why those truly powerful planets did not interfere too much in the operations of the lower levels.

Whether it is a country or a planet. The greatest wealth has never been resources, but people.

And to get people to create wealth. Often, the best management is actually no management at all. Give them a way to live, give them space. The rest, people will create miracles on their own.

Divine Beings are weak, but countless weak individuals gathering together is what constitutes the entire Human Federation.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan simply sensed it for a moment, then withdrew his gaze.

The development of the Divine Kingdom takes time, and the development of a planet is the same. As the master, there is no need to do everything personally; just leave it to professionals to manage.

Soon, Yang Fan arrived at the residential area. As soon as he approached, he was taken aback.

Inside the house were familiar figures. But outside the house stood a dense crowd of people. A rough glance revealed there were actually thousands.

Those people waited quietly, without any noise, not even daring to breathe loudly. Among them, Luo Hai, Luo Chengfeng, and other familiar figures were clearly present.

However, no one dared to enter, and even upon seeing Yang Fan, they lowered their heads, not daring to speak. This was deliberately arranged by President Ma.

In President Ma's eyes, a Third-Order God like Luo Hai was perhaps not as important as Yang Fan's childhood friend, Zhang Pang.

Pushing the door open and entering, Yang Tiexin immediately stood up. "You're back?"

Sun Rong hurriedly walked over, looking him up and down for a long time. "Did you lose weight? Are you tired lately? How have you been eating?"

Facing his parents' inquiries, Yang Fan answered with a smile. "I'm doing great. No one is bullying me."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures walked up. One on the left and one on the right, they directly hugged Yang Fan's arms.

"Husband, I missed you so much." Luo Rou's voice was gentle.

Luo Bing leaned directly against him. "Husband, are you really the master of this life-bearing planet? Why does it feel so unreal to me?"

On the other side, Zhang Pang and Zhang Wanshan were obviously much more reserved, even appearing somewhat restless. Especially Zhang Pang, whose mood was extremely complicated at this moment.

He still remembered that phrase from back then: "If you become wealthy and powerful, do not forget me." It was originally a joke. As it turned out, Yang Fan actually remembered it.
