MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 225 - Purplehaze City

Rudra called up the status pannel for the city

-----

City name : Purplehaze city

City Area : 464 km^2

Total population : 12 million

Security index : 45/100 ( Neutral)

Culture : 30/100 ( Poor )

Public order : 35/100 ( Poor )

Military : 0 enlisted

Education : 72% literacy ( good )

Unemployment rate : 33% ( very high )

Public sentiment : 25% ( very poor)

Tax income : 0 gold

Overall evaluation : The city is yet to fully recover from the beast tide , the citizens have lost faith in the administration in the wake of the destruction left behind in the city.

The citizens are yet to fully accept a necromancer as an emperor , hence the public sentiment is at a all time low .

NOTE : If the public sentiment value drops below 20% there will be riots!

-----

To say that Rudra inherited the city in a good state would be extremely wrong. The city was in a mess , and he had to clean the mess up.

The unemployment rate was very high , hence leading to crime , crime lead to a poor public order and a low public order translated to a low public sentiment value.

It was a vicious cycle , and improving on one or two parameters would not work , one needed to work on all the parameters to make the city a better place.

To handle the unemployment , Rudra immediately took two important measures.

1) He started the citywide wall building project , with a fixed salary of 30 coppers a day.

There were currently about 8 million people in the total population that were in the working age group of 25-55

Out of these about 33% were unemployed , meaning 2.64 million , unemployed youths.

Rudra wanted to build a citywide wall , about 30 meters in height , and double layered with space in between two walls all across the perimeter of the entire city.

This project would help the city twofold , one it would provide employment and work for the unemployed , and two it would create a good denfense around the city. The city could then hold off against any major attacks.

Rudra planned to make the entire city walls with reinforced concrete bricks , to have extra strength and durability.

The total time to complete the project was estimated to be 120 days and assuming about 1 million people took up the job , the funds required to complete the project would be about 20 million gold.

The project would only have costed about 7 to 8 million gold if Rudra did not use reinforced concrete , but the sheer cost of making a single Brick of reinforced concrete , almost triples the budget.

The cost is inclusive of wages , materials , transport and food costs and other miscellaneous costs.

Rudra decided to get architects and engineers from the lifestyle guild and make a core committee responsible for the project.

This would be his first decree as a mayor , a massive employment and city safety scheme. On the first day of assuming office , Rudra declared his plan , many people were skeptical about the whole plan , however many signed up for the ride.

The public safety index went up by 1% and the unemployment rate dropped to 30% at the end of day 1 as Mayor !

-----

Day 2 Rudra introduced the military enlistment program , where interested parties would need to sign up for military camp , graduating from which they would become Purplehaze city military .

The military would only be answerable to the managing city administrators , and not the kingdom , however the enrolled soldiers cannot exceed 8% of total population . Which would be 960K soldiers.

Rudra would have recruited the entire 960K , if he could afford to do it , a soldiers pay was 1 silver coin a day , which meant 30 silvers a month.

The guild could only sustain about 100,000 troops currently with its bank situation. If the guilds financial situation improved in the future, they would hire more soldiers.

Rudra got the 100,000 enrollment into the military camp on the very first opening day , hence the training and development of those troops started today.

Setting the graduation criteria from the camp to be level 70 , Rudra made sure that he would atleast get peak tier one , or tier two soldiers.

The camp would last for 90 days ... Aka 3 months.

Day 3

Day 3 Rudra declared revision to public safety laws , selling liquor now needed government permit , and only authorised taverns were allowed with the sale of alcohol.

Also blacksmiths were now required to keep a strict log of every weapon sold to anyone .

The moves were well received by the masses as the public security index went up by 2% .

Days went by And Rudra started to pour his heart and soul into developing Purplehaze city. However , he could not let his personal development stagnate.

Knowing that his work as a mayor had rendered him unable to go farming in the wild at all , however he still needed to find time to attempt the tier promotion quest.

Rudra had to score a perfect score on tier promotion quest , as only a SSS score was acceptable for the Won Knights.

While the 2nd tier promotion was not as massive as the first and third promotion , however , it had its own use as it gave a massive stat boost and a few usefull class specific skills.

Rudra had resolved to attempt the quest as soon as possible , he needed time to adapt to his new strength as the notice for the preliminaries of the VR Olympics should come anyday now.

Putting his focus back on managing the city , Rudra stamped documents after documents that needed his approval... Being the mayor was a thankless job....!

Reforms after reforms , meetings after meetings , going from one location to the other , Rudra had never been more busy his entire life. He was loosing a lot of guild money daily , he needed to work hard and turn Purplehaze into his dream city , only then will it get big enough to milk it.
