Chapter 712, Too Expensive
"Prime Minister Xu, what did you say? Do you understand what you are talking about?"
Luo Fei was questioning sternly.
But under the previous series of words, Xu Fuzhen seemed to be a little bit harsh.
“Of course I understand what I’m talking about.” Xu Fuzhen’s tone was not polite at all, “I’m talking about a financial problem of 20 trillion yuan in ten years. This is a sum that will affect the stability of the entire empire. expenditure.”
"According to your plan, we may lose more than the 20 trillion. If the Inquisition fails to deal with the corruption of a hive world, will it cause the destruction of a world? Solaria will lose a large amount of expenditures. , unable to suppress this area, will more worlds be shrouded in darkness again after ten years of turmoil and break away from the rule of the central empire? There will probably be no shortage of similar situations."
"How much do these losses add up to? I don't know how to evaluate them. But I'm sure you will tell me a number when I tell the chief judge that the cumulative central funding will be reduced by 3 trillion in ten years; The turmoil in Solaria, the Executive Yuan, the Navy, and the Astral Army must also be able to tell me an answer."
"How can it be calculated like this?" Luo Fei's voice became more reluctant.
Xu Fuzhen mocked: "Why not? Isn't that what you always said when you asked me for funding? You can ask for hundreds of billions. If you don't give it now, you will have to allocate more money in the future. Trillion; if you give it now, the tax department will be able to earn as much more in the future..."
Luo Fei was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it all possible... uh... most of them can be realized..."< br>
"There are a lot of things that have not been realized." Xu Fuzhen said, "Now, if we want to reduce the allocation, why do you say that we can't calculate it this way?"
This is unreasonable, Luo Fei changed the topic: "In terms of money, what about this Iron Armor War? Our total cumulative investment has exceeded 50 trillion, and it is also a direct expenditure of Holy Terra. We haven’t calculated the additional liabilities to local troops, fleets, and battle groups after sending troops to various places... What if the alliance rebels again? What if there is another rebellion on a larger scale than the Iron Armor War? Trillion, we will lose 200 billion for war in the next few years!”
That seems to make sense.
But Xu Fu is really not timid at all.
She continued to ask: "Why do you think Gu Hang will definitely rebel? Is there something bad about Holy Terra against Gu Hang that forces him to rebel? Or is there something about the past performance of the alliance? Does it make you think he is going to rebel? ”
"He will pay taxes, and pay them in full, and pay them directly to Holy Terra. In my opinion, not only will he not rebel, he is also the most loyal governor in the empire. If every local governor in the empire can be like this If Gu Hang is like this, the empire will become extremely powerful Powerful!"
After a pause, Xu Fuzhen came up with a plan of his own: "According to my plan, the alliance will be left to him; the chairman of the Spider Web Universe will also be given to him. But instead, It is the imperial tax of the entire spider web domain, and it also requires Pay it in the way he promised before."
"Next year, what the alliance will pay is no longer 300 billion, but 500 billion; ten years later, it will no longer be a stable 1.3 trillion, but 500 billion. It’s 2.1 trillion.”
< br>"In ten years, he has to pay a total of 13 trillion."
"As long as he gives enough money, we can allow the alliance to exist; we can even allow the alliance to expand in the spider web domain. ”
"What's wrong with that? From now on, if he pays 2.1 trillion every year, how much money will he have left?"
"In an ordinary universe, a total tax of one trillion a year is enough. "Two trillion dollars is a space region with relatively good development and less turmoil."
"What's more, all other local governments, including the star region and space region, must keep 60%. There are also a lot of tax losses. The money we receive may only be one or two hundred billion."
"Now, we can collect a net of two trillion a year; the alliance cannot follow the general rules. Like the local government of the empire, 60% of the tax revenue is used for its own construction.”
“In this case, what capital does he have to rebel?”
"On the contrary, if the central government has such a large amount of revenue, how many legions can we build and how many battle groups can we develop that are loyal to the central government?" "It can also be combined with the "Alliance Plan" written by Gu Hang himself. Supervise the military scale of the alliance; conduct regular checks on the development of the alliance. As long as the development level increases, the tax amount will also increase."
"All of these methods can be added up. give couplet Does the alliance have enough power to rebel?"
"As long as the alliance is drained so that they are unable to rebel; as long as Gu Hang is given enough respect so that he has no intention of rebelling; then, the future alliance will be the most important thing in the empire. An important single tax source! It is the cornerstone of the empire!"
"Whether the alliance becomes an unstable factor or the engine of the empire is just a matter of thought."
When saying the last sentence, Xu Fu was really facing Prime Minister Qi Bodu and added: "Prime Minister, please think about it carefully!"
...
"...That's how it was at that time. What a situation!”
During the call, Gallardo was vividly describing the content of the meeting.
Logically speaking, the contents of the Supreme Council should be kept secret from the outside world.
But in fact, it is normal for the content of the meeting to be spread everywhere the next second after the meeting.
No one will hold anyone accountable.
After listening to it, Gu Hang also found it quite interesting.
He asked:
"What do you mean by that, it was finally passed? Let me serve as the chairman of the Spider Web Domain at the same time and maintain the existence of the alliance?"
"That's not true." Gallardo smacked his lips and said with some regret, "The quarrel later made Qi Bo stop it. He didn't let him enter the voting stage on the spot. He said that this matter would be discussed next time. Let's discuss it again."
"In other words, do I have a good chance?"
"No, are you serious?" Gallardo said earnestly, "Just now. Didn’t I tell you? Don’t just look at how much you can get the Spider Web Domain! You have to look at how much you have to pay!” How good is it? 2.1 trillion a year, you can’t imagine it!”
“How can you afford that in ten years?” >
"Even if you can afford it, if you keep so much money, you don't know how many fucking things you can do!"
Later in the story, Gallardo even cursed.
"If you do this, you really have nothing to gain. Listen to me, let's let go of the alliance and just be the chairman of the Spider Web Universe. I can really help you advance the Supreme Council. Why do you want it? Working for the tax department?”
“It’s really too dark,” Gu Hang also cursed.
But what Gallardo couldn't see was that he still had a smile on his face.
