"Your Majesty, colleagues! The economic growth rate of Huaxia has gradually slowed down in recent years. By September this year, Huaxia's tax revenue was 11,800 purple gold coins, which is about 14% less than the same period last year.
However, our domestic population is growing, and the strength of the major legions is getting stronger every year. The seven legions are now at the lowest level of Qidong Realm. As their strength increases, their military pay is also increasing accordingly. The budget of the Military Affairs Council is increasing by 10% every year. Last year, Huaxia's total military expenditure was 9,461 purple gold coins, and this year it must be more than 10,000 purple gold coins.
Huaxia Bank has gradually stabilized in recent years. Commodity tax revenue has begun to decline sharply due to climate reasons. Every year, it needs to borrow money from the royal family to maintain operations. So far, our borrowing from the royal family has reached 47,000 purple gold coins, which exceeds the country's tax revenue for two years. If this continues for a long time, the royal family will not be able to bear it." Huang Guangwen said to someone.
Hearing this, everyone was silent. The most expensive thing for Huaxia now is military expenses and official salaries, which have exceeded more than half of Huaxia's total income. The strong strength has now become a trouble. Hua Kai also feels that there are problems of his own.
"Your Majesty, Huaxia has a strong military force. The annual mission of the seven legions is just to continuously eliminate wild beasts. The harvest is very limited. We should pull them out to create more income, or quickly unify the Central Plains, so that Huaxia's finances will surely be quickly eased." Hua Zichen said to Hua Kai.
"There is no rush. I know when to unify the Central Plains. The ultimate goal of Huaxia is not to unify the Central Plains, but the entire East Land Shenzhou, or we will conquer other continents.
This year, the attitude of Chu has changed greatly. I will send elite troops to the Nanyue Mountain area next year after contacting Chu. Hua Mo, you will follow and include all the mountains in the [Mountain and River Map], transform the mountains to continue to reduce the survival area of wild beasts, and strive to eliminate the wild beasts in the entire southern mountainous area of the Central Plains within ten years. I believe that the King of Chu will not object." Hua Kai said.
"The number of wild beasts in Huaxia has been decreasing in recent years. Only the Qilin Corps and the White Tiger Corps can be left. The other five corps can be dispatched to the Nanyue Mountains." Lian Po said.
"But before clearing the wild beasts in the Nanyue Mountains, the two big monsters must be eradicated. The Military Affairs Council is preparing to go to the Nanyue Mountains to clear the wild beasts in the early spring of next year. By then, we will be able to contact the Ryukyu Islands and find Java in the deep sea. We can send goods to Java, and the Huaxia economy will have new impetus." Hua Kai said so.
Many core members of the Hua family took out their notebooks and took notes. If Huaxia did not want to stop its development when the climate cooled down, it must start to expand outward. Since the Central Plains could not go to war, it had to go overseas.
Everyone took Qin and Chu seriously. It was okay for them to keep silent. As long as they dared to attack Huaxia first, it would be in line with the wishes of everyone in Huaxia. Hua Kai was not only trying to conquer the land of the world, but he valued the people's hearts more.
"Let me talk about the situation of the Government Affairs Council. Now the Government Affairs Council has three major problems. The first is education. It invests 7 million gold every year, not counting the spiritual rice, elixir, and spiritual meat donated by the royal family. This is the largest expenditure of the Government Affairs Council.
The second is the basic living security fund for the poor and the welfare industry. Now there are more than 200,000 people engaged in this industry in China, and it is still increasing every year.
The last is the payment of officials' salaries, which is also a major expenditure of the Government Affairs Council. In recent years, China's construction expenditure has been decreasing. I think we must reduce the expenditure of the salary system, especially the salary of employees above the Qi training realm." Xue Chen, as the president of the Government Affairs Council, spoke up.
Many people began to speak out in opposition. They were all worried that reducing wages would have a great impact on the country. The decline in the income of the Xiantian realm might occupy the resources of the Qi training realm, and the Qi training realm would occupy the Qi dynamic realm. In the end, ordinary people would suffer.
"A country has not regressed in development, and wages cannot be reduced in any case. We have problems to think of ways to solve them, and I believe that there is no problem that cannot be solved.
First of all, the people's livelihood issues, the State Council must control the prices of various basic living materials. You set up a list of people's living materials, and make sure that the prices of food, meat, clothing, transportation and other industries do not increase too quickly. For the interests of workshops and various families, we can give them policy preferences, increase supply and reduce taxes. If not, we can also give these industries economic subsidies.
That is, the basic price must be stabilized no matter what. Let's talk about economic development issues. The three major industries are the foundation of a country's economic development. The State Council must attach importance to innovation, give special rewards to special innovative talents, and provide financial support to special new industries, so that China can flourish and make the market economy alive.
Finally, let's talk about the fact that China's annual expenditure is greater than its income and it has been borrowing money from the royal family!" Hua Kai said here and everyone listened quietly. They wanted to hear how Hua Kai understood the country borrowing money from the royal family.
"What are the sources of income for the royal family? As we all know, the biggest sources are spiritual medicine, weapons, workshops, and spiritual and physical bodies.
Who did the royal family sell these to? Of course, the people in the country. The money I put in the market is certain. If the people spend money on these things, there will inevitably be less money in other places. The royal family has limited money to buy things every year, so a large amount of money has accumulated in the royal family. This is all normal.
For all royal families, the monthly allowance will increase in the future. In this way, try to spend all the wealth accumulated by the royal family, and the national fiscal revenue will increase." After Hua Kai finished speaking, some people were very surprised. It is said that thrift is a traditional virtue. They have never heard that spending money is a contribution to the country. "
After a long chat, all the problems of Huaxia were dug out, and everyone discussed countermeasures together, and the key points of many problems gradually surfaced.
The biggest reason why Huaxia has been able to maintain rapid development for so many years is because of the Hua family's space secret realm. Any problems can be discovered and solved at the first time. If they cannot be solved, Hua Kai will coordinate and deal with them. This allows Huaxia to correct any mistakes in time. Ordinary people see that the country can quickly discover and solve any difficulties they have, which makes the morale of the Chinese people always above 85 points.
In mid-October, all grain shops, cloth shops, and butcher shops in major cities in Huaxia began to reduce prices uniformly. Sky blue whale meat was sold at a price of 2 gold per catty, which was 50 times lower than before.
In this way, the prices of many goods dropped rapidly, and ordinary people even had extra money to buy blue whale meat for a few days to try. In just one month, more than 6,000 tons of meat from a sky blue whale were sold out. The royal family of Huaxia finally received 1,100 purple gold coins, which was equivalent to less than 10% of the national tax revenue.
Of course, there are also profits from major stores. When this sky blue whale is sold out, the price of meat products in China will drop rapidly. What Hua Kai has left in his hands is more than 10 million gold. How to use it.
Time quickly entered the 18th year of China. Many of Hua Kai's children are about to grow up. Hua Kai has made arrangements for them on how to place their children.
The royal family must also have healthy competition. Hua Kai gives all princes and princesses the right to build a mansion at the age of 18. Every child, regardless of gender, will be left to themselves after the age of 18, but they are still supervised by the Zong Ren Department.
After the mansion is built, Hua Kai will assess their performance in one year at the end of each year. Hua Kai, who eats and waits for death, will no longer pay attention to them and let them live on their own.
If they perform well, Hua Kai will give them a certain amount of money as sponsorship every year to help their children achieve their own value. If they perform particularly well, Hua Kai will consider making them a core member of the Hua family and one of the leaders of China in the future.
At the New Year family dinner on this day, Hua Kai told everyone his decision at the dinner. Hua Kai's concubines all looked reluctant, fearing that their princes and princesses would be bullied after leaving the palace, while most of the princes and princesses were very excited. They were usually lucky to have a hundred gold coins in pocket money a month. Who could imagine how huge a sum of money one million gold coins was?
"As your father, I hope that each of you can become a talent, make your own contribution to the country, and at the same time let others see that you are worthy of the royal family's training.
But you must walk your own way in the future. One million gold coins are enough for you to hire a bunch of people to serve you for a hundred years of wealth and prosperity, and can also be used to realize your dreams.
At the beginning of the year when everyone becomes an adult, they can go to the palace to receive 100,000 gold coins first, which will be used to form your team after leaving the palace. On your birthday, I will personally hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you, and invite the heads of the three major courtyards and representatives of the families to participate. Of course, you can also invite your friends or team. "Hua Kai said to all the princes and princesses.
Hua Kai's imperial concubines smiled. Hua Kai did not just give the children a sum of money. He invited the three academy masters and representatives of the aristocratic families. This was obviously to give the children a bright road to choose for themselves. Hua Kai's way of educating children might give them more initiative.
"But there is one thing. If you leave the palace and do something that violates the law and morality, the Zongren Department will not show mercy. Your right to open your own government will be taken back and all your property will be confiscated." Hua Kai said again.
Everyone began to be silent. They could feel that they would become independent individuals when they grow up. Their fathers and mothers could not accompany them forever. As princes and princesses of Huaxia, they had too many beginnings that ordinary people did not have. How they would go on their final life path was up to them.
"Another thing is that even if you leave the palace, the monthly allowance and elixirs will not be cut off. Everyone will receive an annual share of elixirs according to their own cultivation. Every time you break through the Qi training realm, you can get the corresponding level of magic weapons and treasures. "After Hua Kai said this, the originally depressing atmosphere became better. It turned out that they just grew up and lived outside the palace. Nothing had changed.
