Dahan Technology Empire

Chapter 28, War Ticket? Star ticket?

Because the empire's finances cannot implement the policy of fiscal deficit, let alone solve the government's financial problems by printing money, Hu Huirong, the Minister of Finance, is extremely painful. Everyone's eyes shine when they look at themselves, and they can't wait to eat Generally speaking, I want to get more money from myself.

Hu Huirong was not a stingy person at first, but from the former chief financial officer in the era of Qingquan Technology to the current finance minister of the empire, he has won the title of Grandet for being stingy.

There's no way, if Hu Huirong hadn't been stingy, these lavish uncles would have ruined their families long ago. They all know how to spend money, and they don't even know the difficulties of being in charge!

Now, Hu Huirong is very troubled. It is very difficult for him to pick a little here and where to cut a little, so that the empire's annual finances can be saved to a certain extent. The construction of the Star costs the empire a year's finances for just one keel. 1% of the budget, and I live frugally for a year, and with the reputation of being a miser, I can only deduct a few keels a year!

No! The empire will go bankrupt if it goes on like this. The construction of this spaceship is not a matter of one or two years, and after the speed of construction is accelerated, the demand for funds will be greater, and the government will definitely have no money at that time!

Hu Huirong tapped the table lightly with his fingers, calculated carefully, and calculated silently. If this continues, the imperial government will have gone bankrupt before the Star is completed.

The Star is too huge, and its construction standard is very high. With the current strength of the empire, it is too much to bear, and the government will be dragged into bankruptcy!

The cabinet government held a cabinet meeting on the proposal of the Minister of Finance Hu Huirong to discuss the budget of the Star. The government must find a way to raise funds for the Star. The government does not have much budget, even if Moving over the manufacturing costs of other spacecraft is also very different.

According to current calculations, the budget of Xingchen needs at least 100 trillion Chinese yuan, and our annual fiscal revenue is only 30 trillion Chinese yuan. After excluding various expenses, the annual savings are less than 100 trillion Chinese yuan. 1 trillion Chinese Yuan!

However, the keel that has just been completed costs more than 300 billion Chinese yuan, and according to the design, just such a keel will cost twelve! This is a huge cost of 2.6 trillion Chinese yuan!

The construction period of the Xingchen is tentatively calculated in 10 years. The annual investment budget is 10 trillion Chinese yuan, accounting for 1/3 of our fiscal revenue. Such a huge budget, no matter how to adjust it, is still too far away. This is the situation. !

Our government will go bankrupt before the Xingchen is built!

Hu Huirong told the basic situation to more than a dozen ministers in the cabinet, and then fell silent. Usually, each of them knows how to spend money indiscriminately, but now it is time for you to have a headache and understand the difficulties of being in charge.

What do you think? Tell us what you think!

Cabinet Prime Minister Liao Bin said to the cabinet ministers present that the first cabinet prime minister, Cai Jian, had retired because of the end of his term of office, and went home to pursue his dream. Liao Bin, the sales director of Qingquan Technology Times, won the general election. Became the new Prime Minister of the Cabinet!

The prime ministers of the first cabinet were basically older people among the high-level people in the Qingquan Technology era. They were more experienced and mature, and they were able to make the empire pass the initial period smoothly. , The government began to replace it on a large scale, and the young, powerful and passionate generation took over.

Liao Bin was originally the foreign minister in the first cabinet, and he has considerable experience. In addition, he is an old man from the era of Qingquan Technology. It is normal for him to win the general election.

There is really no good way. It is impossible for us to imitate the countries on the earth and print money crazily. Other expenses cannot be reduced.

I can't think of any good way for a while!

Marley, Minister of General Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire, shook his head. He was very clear about the government's current expenditures, many of which were suppressed by Hu Huirong, and there was no extra finance at all!

Implementing a constant value energy currency is the foundation of our country! We must not print money to solve the government's economic problems, so don't think about it!

Liao Bin also nodded. It is not easy to be the head of the government, especially to lead a huge country like the Empire, a country with a new system. Many times, you need to cross the river by yourself and explore the management experience of the Empire. But there are some things, all understand, those principles are never shaken!

For example, take science and technology as the foundation of the country! Implement a constant value energy monetary policy!

I think, our government doesn't have much money, but the citizens of our empire still have a lot of money. Can we issue national debt to raise funds?

Chen Junwei, Minister of Justice of the Empire, is considered to be the oldest in this cabinet. Originally, he should have retired as early as Cai Jian and others to enjoy his own life, but out of various considerations, Liao Bin felt that he still needed an experienced Experienced ministers will join this cabinet, so Chen Junwei will continue to serve as Minister of Justice!

The prime minister of the cabinet is elected by the citizens of the empire, but the other ministers in the cabinet are formed by the prime minister, so there is no problem in serving consecutively.

Issuing national debt requires mortgage. Countries on the earth are generally guaranteed by the national reputation, and national debt also needs to pay interest. The interest of this 100 trillion Chinese yuan national debt is a huge amount. , our government’s annual budget doesn’t have much surplus, and even the interest is not enough to repay it!”

The reason why countries on the earth issue national debt on a large scale is because they can print money to try to pay back, but we can't print money to try to pay back these!

Our annual economic growth and fiscal revenue increase are a lot, but everyone knows that our empire implements a policy of encouraging births, and is responsible for all child support funds for all infants, and our new population is also very large every year. Expenditures are also increasing rapidly!

When hearing this, Hu Huirong, the Minister of Finance, finally spoke again, solemnly reminding others that the national debt is mortgaged by the country's reputation, and at the same time, it must be repaid with interest when it expires!

The empire's economy developed rapidly, and its fiscal revenue also increased rapidly, but the empire's various expenditures increased terribly, and the savings were not much, and the interest was not enough to pay back.

If the issuance of national debt is not enough, I really can't think of any good way. If the government wants to increase its own income, the only way is to increase taxes, find national debt, and print money!

Chen Junwei smiled slightly, and was not angry at being denied by Hu Huirong. He also knew that what Hu Huirong said was the truth. If the government issues national debt, it will definitely bear a huge burden in the future, and the finances must be very tight!

I think we can consider selling the future profits of the Star to the imperial investors in advance. During the Great Voyage, there was such a precedent in Britain!

The person who spoke was Mo Qingming, Minister of Science and Technology of the Empire. The position of Minister of Science and Technology is relatively very important. One of them is held by a highly respected scientist in the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Science and technology are the foundation of the country, and the influence of scientists permeates the entire empire!

What Mo Qingming said about selling the future proceeds in advance, this matter first appeared on the earth during the period of great voyages in Britain. At that time, Britain was going to use force against India, but the government had no money because it had just fought with the Spaniards. Achieved the status of maritime supremacy.

But at that time, the opportunity to use force against India was once in a lifetime. At that time, India was in a state of fragmentation, which was very suitable for looting.

On the one hand, the government has no money, and on the other hand, the opportunity cannot be missed. The British government at that time came up with a way to sell the various benefits that could be obtained after occupying India to domestic capitalists, investors, and ordinary citizens in advance.

Because Britain had just defeated the mighty Spaniards and replaced Spain as the new maritime overlord. At that time, everyone in the whole of Britain was full of confidence in Britain's war against India!

The issued war coupons were quickly snapped up by the British at that time, and the original budget of the British government was quickly raised, and many British people clamored for the government to continue issuing war coupons, so the British government decided to occupy the South Asian continent. The military expenditures of other countries have also been fully raised.

And things are just as the British estimated. With the world-leading giant ship and cannon at that time, the British army had no enemy at all outside Europe, and it swallowed the whole of India very smoothly, turning India into It has become the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the Queen of England.

And the people who bought the war tickets at the beginning all made a lot of money, and the value of the war tickets alone has doubled hundreds of times, not to mention that those big capitalists can directly carry out various colonial plunders from India, making a fortune, primitive The accumulation of capital quickly became richer, laying the foundation for the subsequent industrial revolution.

Eh? Are you talking about issuing war tickets? Is this okay? We are still very far away from those alien planets, and the citizens of the empire may not buy our orders!

Marley, the Minister of General Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire, shook his head. This is like pointing to the stars in the sky and telling the citizens of the Empire that our government will occupy this planet in the future. Now you pay a sum of money to fund the government to build spaceships. Give you a continent on this planet!

ps: The second chapter is delivered, everyone come to me to buy planet coupons, in the future, one person will have one planet! Hey, leave it as a back garden for future generations! All kinds of requests~(to be continued.)
