Chapter 243: 243

It is a custom and a rule that everyone must follow. After the end of the new year, even if the Empire was at war, government agencies had to summarize their operations and prepare to apply for an annual budget.

By Emergency Order 44, The Security Council, the most powerful body at this time, has called on all of them to discuss.

The Security Council opens an annual meeting with the government and the Cabinet on the agenda. However, the Security Council may not be able to oversee it unilaterally, and it is necessary to invite all the ministries to discuss it.

"Ministry of Industry of the Budget," Major Lian Aun chanting for more money.

"No, the military needs the most money."

"Your Majesty, the people's welfare needs to get the budget quickly."

The controversy on the conference table was particularly fierce. The ministers know that most of the Empire's finances will go to the military this year due to serving over five million people. Until now, the army has become the most prominent organization already.

As such, everyone must do their best to claim money for their ministry.

This year, the meeting had passed. The Security Council quickly approved a budget of over thirty million yuan. Moreover, Zhao Lingxin approved a military emergency budget of over ten million yuan. The total forty million yuan is the annual budget that is more than twice that of the previous year.

In particular, the army has consumed more than forty percent of the total budget, more than fifteen percent of the budget. The Cabinet objected to the opposition. But when listening to the argument of the Defense Ministry, everyone had to take a step back.

"Everyone, how many salaries of the five million soldiers? You guys try to watch for yourself." Defense Minister Colonel Ma Chun handed everyone a budget document.

Most ministers already know very well how much of this budget is. But when they saw it with his own eyes, they had to take a deep breath. More than five million soldiers had already spent millions of yuan.

"In addition, all of you must not forget. How does the military budget affect the economy?" Explains Colonel Ma Chun.

This vast army budget was spent on the purchase of military equipment and supplies. Such as ammunition, food, and others, which are by the war economy decree

This budget supported the Empire's economy from collapse. Helping private individuals to have cash flow The Cabinet could not deny that this portion of the military's budget was not in vain.

At that moment, Zhao Lingxin spoke at the meeting.

"Everyone, do not forget how much profit we have gained from trading with the Five Elements Sect and the King Slay Demon Palace Sect," Zhao Lingxin cautioned. Zhao Lingxin chose to take the side of the army. He saw a fight at the meeting and decided to intervene.

This caution by Zhao Ling Xin helps everyone think of this important story. The trade with the two headquarters did not go through the finance ministry's budget process, but all the money was with Zhao Lingxin.

Exporting mobile phones and artillery to foreign countries Huge profits are millions of spirit stones. Which of these spirit stones was not comparable to the amount of the budget.

If only a portion of the spirit stone was valued, it was worth billions of yuan, more than that of its GDP.

If the number of spirit stones traded count, the country's GDP would have risen more than ten times.

It's just that all the trades exchanged with the Spirit Stone were all belonging to Zhao Lingxin. For a special reason, everyone knew well about Zhao Lingxin's cheating system.

In the crisis faced by the Empire on all sides, there is hope for this, which is good news, trade between the Empire and the two large sects is advancing. Along with a stronger relationship as well.

"Then Military budget matters. We have no problems." The Cabinet agreed to this part of the budget.

Even if the meeting was full of simplicity, this year, it is still hidden by the grandeur of the Empire under its simplicity.

In the past year, the Empire merged with Datang, transforming this part of the territory directly into the country's sovereign territory, called the Datang Region.

It is also associated with the three protectorate states that have become informal imperial boundaries.

The boundary line of the Empire was as grand as the seven great sects. The area of ​​the Empire was already greater than the Five Element Sect or King Slay Demon Palace Sect.

Moreover, a growing border means a population that has increased to one hundred and fifty million.

It is a big deal for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Education to accelerate the same law. Including providing welfare and education to everyone.

The number of areas, population, and industries that are constantly expanding This time, the Empire's GDP grew like never before.

The country's GDP has grown more than 110 percent. From a hundred and twenty million yuan a year ago, it surged to two hundred and fifty million yuan within a year. It grows twice as much in the blink of an eye. Right now, the imperial economy was considered number one in the East.

"Ministry of Industry, don't forget about high-tech factories. I want to finish it in three months." Zhao Lingxin turned to Major Lian An.

"I acknowledge," replied Major Lian Aun.

As a result of six months ago, when Zhao Lingxin exchanged high-grade artificial intelligence, Hong Baoer.

The arrival of Hong Baoer has turned the forefront of the Empire's science and technology like never before. As estimated by the Ministry of Science, the Empire's technology would advance for fifty years under the help of Hong Baoer.

It took Hong Bao'er just three days to design a high-end computer chipset. It allows the Empire to have its computer chipset, not relying on an exchange from Zhao Lingxin's system.

Despite the blueprint of the computer chip, the production process was lagging and progressed in time. It took the Empire six months to prepare. Gather resources and tools to construct the factory this time.

Zhao Lingxin assigned the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for the operation. In building a high-end industrial facility dedicated to the manufacture of computer chipsets

Of course, Hong Bao'er never created for free. Every time Zhao Lingxin asked her to help. Hong Baoer also frequently popped up on the screen in the middle of the night.

"Your Majesty, I want my body to be stronger." This was Hongbaoer's request.

Of course, Hong Baoer's request was very easy. Zhao Lingxin just had to summon a large server machine. To be the body and the processor for this artificial intelligence.

In a secret underground research institute, Dr. Chen and a group of researchers were crying. Because now every area of ​​the institution is full of servers running. No matter which way you walk, there will be a large server block until no path is left. As a result, Dr. Chen requested to change the research institute to a new location.

"Your Majesty, we need a new office. You give it a try. I have chosen a location." Dr. Chen tried to propose these wasteful projects to the Emperor, but he was disappointed.

Zhao Lingxin quickly brushed off this request. The Empire was running out of money, so it's not the right time to build a wasteful institution now.

"Dismissed," said Zhao Lingxin, closing the meeting for a long time.

The annual meeting lasted for more than seven days until it finally ended. The Cabinet came out of the Government House to talk about various matters.

"Guo Ling, sir, let's go have a drink," said Sun Wanping, persuading the Prime Minister to his home. Although this year there will be no festive party due to the crisis. But the Sun still wanted to build a good relationship with the top leaders.

Sun Wanping persuaded other ministers to join in the feast. Especially Sun Wanping's father, Sun Yuan, was vigorously instructed that he had to create a huge banquet.

In the past, the Sun family had rarely made a political appearance. However, the economic basis of the Sun Clan made it possible for this family to have a profound influence on the Empire. If Sun Yuan and Sun Wanping get together, they can even close the stock exchange.

"Of course, I will be on schedule." General Guo Ling and the other ministers accepted this banquet invitation.

The celebrations at the Sun Clan were held in great length.
