Chapter 939 The five years since the establishment of the Tianyi Empire were seriously extravagant and wasteful

On January 130, 1, the first year of the universe, Long Fei was meeting with the ministers at the meeting.

Zeng Huanpeng, the new Minister of Finance, reported to Long Fei the empire's finances for this year.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our country's fiscal budget GDP this year is about double that of last year, reaching 236 trillion Tianyi coins this year."

Ministers from various departments look at me and I look at you.

Everyone’s eyes and expressions were filled with excitement and expectation. Their allocation this year will be about double that of last year.

Zeng Huanpeng continued to report: "This year our country will have a budget that is about double that of last year. This is mainly due to the increase in the country's domestic demand market, the consumption power of the country's people this year is higher than last year, and many foreign companies have invested in the country, which has increased the country's A lot of taxes.”

“The country’s imports and exports trade with many countries. Any export of its products to any country is settled in its own currency. In addition to the two major international currencies, some imports are settled in its own currency, which leads to the appreciation of the country’s currency. Quite a few, it’s already 1:1 with Earth Circle Coin.”

"The country's products and currency are both very strong. Many countries are purchasing a large amount of their own products. This not only allows the country to earn a lot of foreign exchange, but also does not show any inflation in the country's necessities, daily necessities, and food."

"Although the prices of these necessities will increase every year, the level of increase is very slow and less than 6%. On the contrary, the annual income of our people has increased by [-]%. Because of this relationship, the consumption power of the people has also declined. It’s getting higher year by year, and even ordinary people can afford many expensive luxuries.”

At this time, the Minister of Health, Ethan, raised his hand, and all the ministers looked at Ethan.

Long Fei glanced at Minister Ethan and nodded.

"It is good that our country's economy is booming, and the people's consumption power has also improved a lot. However, many people in this country have forgotten the suffering of the war back then, and now enjoy complete luxury and waste. This year's health report, I must say, is According to statistics on the food wasted in our country last year, the total waste of rice, which is what we call rice, was more than 100 million tons a year."

Ethan went on to say: "If vegetables and fruits were thrown into the garbage dump last year, more than 1 million tons were thrown into the garbage dump. The same is true for meat, or even more, almost 2 million tons were thrown into the garbage dump."

Ethan then popped up several video photos, in which a group of cats and dogs were very obese.

Long Fei asked very curiously: "Ethan, are these cats and dogs pets raised by the people of this country? Why are they so fat?"

"Your Majesty, these are not pets raised by the people of this country. If they were pets raised by the people of this country, most of them would be willing to control the weight of the pets and prevent them from eating too much. These are stray cats and dogs."

"..." The scene fell silent.

A minister asked curiously: "Did these stray cats and dogs meet kind-hearted people who fed them to become so fat?"

"No, the main reason is that these stray cats and dogs will go directly to some garbage dumps or the garbage dumping places behind restaurants, and people will dump the leftovers for them to eat. Basically, these stray cats and dogs will go directly to the garbage dump. Click here and go there to eat automatically.”

Long Fei asked: "Do these people pour a lot of food every time?"

"The team sent by Wei Chen, after many investigations, many people, no matter whether they are eating at home or ordering food in restaurants outside, even if they are a family of three, they will never order more than five dishes."

"And if someone at home has a holiday, such as a birthday or wedding anniversary, each table will have at least more than 12 dishes. A table can originally seat eight people, but a table deliberately seats four people. To use an analogy, if When you invite 64 people, you only need to call eight tables. When you open the banquet, you can call 16 tables or 24 tables. Each table can seat 4 or 2 people. This is not an isolated case. Basically, almost every family is wasting like this. Frugal families have become rare animals.”

"Also, schools in our country provide school meals for students, but most of the students in the schools basically do not eat school meals. They only eat food brought from home, but the food brought from home is very large. Every day A student just threw it in the trash can without finishing his meal. Although the teachers reported it to the parents, many parents did not take it seriously, thinking that they had money anyway and it was none of the teacher's business whether it was wasted or not, which made the teachers very helpless."

Long Fei looked at Lin Yunxin, the Minister of Education.

Lin Yunxin said: "What the Minister of Health said is correct."

"What about the student meals provided by the school?"

"It's all eaten by those wild cats and dogs. If you can't finish it, you just throw it into the trash can."

Long Fei couldn't help but cover his forehead with his right hand. He always felt as if he was struck by thunder. As an emperor, he didn't like extravagance and waste, let alone those things that paved the way.

My queen celebrated her birthday and hosted a banquet for all ministers during the Millennium Festival. There were eight people at one table, and each table only had six dishes, one soup and one dessert.

As a result, our people are extravagant and wasteful. Even an ordinary birthday has to be paved with unnecessary pomp.
"Minister Ethan, please continue."

"The main reason is that the food prices in our country are too cheap. A pound of steak only costs 3 yuan, a whole organic chicken costs less than 5 yuan, and in terms of fruits and vegetables, a 10kg bag of corn costs less than 3 yuan. , 8 pieces of apples are 1 yuan, and 10 kilograms of rice with the best quality is only 6 yuan at most.”

"The price of domestic food will be so cheap. In addition to our country's advanced planting and breeding technology, we have also developed artificial black soil with this advanced agricultural technology, which has shortened the growth cycle of many fruits and vegetables, and made the production easier. There are many, and the quality is not inferior to the fruits and vegetables produced from natural black soil.”

"More importantly, machines have replaced labor in many aspects. Basically, only a few people can operate a bunch of machines. In addition to some details that require manual adjustment, this has also led to low costs and low food sales prices. .”

Then, Jack, the minister in charge of the Customs and Immigration Department, also raised his hand.

"speak."

"Recently, Weichen's department has caught illegal immigrants, illegal workers, and sex workers who used tourist visas or smuggled in (the Tianyi Empire has not legalized the sex industry). Their purpose is to come to this country. In addition to making money, , just want to get our country’s ID card.”

“These people who are caught, no matter how many times they are caught and sent back to the country, they will try their best to sneak in. They just want to stay in our country, and the reason why they come to our country is to envy our country’s wealth and prosperity. Extravagant and wasteful, they once said that they would rather be dogs of the Tianyi Empire than return to their own country and become human beings."

Long Fei suddenly remembered that he had read some foreign media reports on the Tianyi Empire's extravagance and waste. They even once said that the Tianyi Empire could pour out a vast ocean just by wasting away the milk it did not drink.

After reading such reports, Long Fei felt that they were just exaggerated reports by foreign media.

Long Fei asked Jack: "Have these smugglers read these foreign media reports about our country's waste and extravagance?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, and this is not just on Mars, but also in the realm of the Earth's circle. It is also troubled by these things. Tens of thousands of stowaways or sex workers are sent out every day, and this is not a neighbor. It’s just a country, it can be said to be the common people in the entire earth circle and colonial circle.”

"Especially those female sex workers, taking advantage of our country's permission for men to have multiple concubines, these women are willing to marry their clients and become concubines. As long as they have not committed any major crimes for three years, they can get their country's ID cards. For them, For example, if they work in a relatively low-end job in their own country, their monthly salary is more than that of three months of working in their own country, and even if they buy food on a one-to-one basis without conversion, it is higher than where they are originally. The country is still cheaper.”

Long Fei raised his brows. The country's population has skyrocketed recently. Not only has the fertility rate increased, there have also been many immigrants. The population of the Tianyi Empire now exceeds 6 million.

Among immigrants, women account for more than 75%.

These immigrant women contributed 60% to this year's fertility rate.
