Because the empire's finances cannot achieve a policy of fiscal deficits, and cannot solve the government's financial problems by printing money, Hu Huirong, as the Minister of Finance, was extremely painful. Everyone's eyes shine when they looked at him, and they wanted to eat him, and they wanted to cut more expenses from him.

Hu Huirong was not a stingy person at first, but from the former financial director of Qingquan Technology to the current Minister of Finance of the Empire, he has actually won the title of "Grande".

There is no way. If Hu Huirong hadn't been stingy, these big-handed men would have lost all their families long ago. They would have known spending money and would not know the difficulties of being the head of the family!

Now, Hu Huirong is very troubled. He finally got a little bit from here and cut somewhere, so that the empire's annual finances can be saved. This is how a dragon bone is built, just a dragon bone costs 1% of the empire's annual fiscal budget. He saves money a year and bears the reputation of being a stingy person. He can only deduct a few dragon bones a year!

"No! If this continues, the empire will go bankrupt. The construction of this spacecraft will not take place in a year or two. And after the construction speed will accelerate, the greater the demand for this capital, and the government will definitely lose money at that time!"

Hu Huirong tapped the desktop with his fingers, calculated carefully, and silently calculated. If this continues, the imperial government will be bankrupt before the "Star" is built.

The "Star" is too huge, and its construction standards are very high. All the keels are built by Qijin. In addition, they must be equipped with various cutting-edge weapon systems, power systems, warp engines, etc., even with the current strength of the empire, they cannot bear it, and the government will be dragged to bankruptcy!

After the proposal of the Minister of Finance Hu Huirong, the cabinet government held a cabinet meeting to discuss the funding budget of the "Star" and the government must find a way to raise funds from the "Star". The government does not have much budget, and even if the manufacturing costs of other spacecraft are transferred over, it is a far cry from it.

"According to the current calculations, its budget also requires at least 100 trillion Han yuan, and our annual fiscal revenue is only 30 trillion Han yuan. In addition to various expenses, it saves less than 1 trillion Han yuan every year!"

"But the keel that has just been completed has cost more than 300 billion Han yuan. According to the design, 12 such keels alone cost! This is a huge cost of 2.6 trillion Han yuan!"

"The construction cycle of Xingchen is temporarily calculated in 10 years. The annual budget invested 10 trillion Han yuan, accounting for 1/3 of our fiscal revenue. Such a huge budget, no matter how it is adjusted, it is still too far apart. This is the situation!"

"Before the Star is built, our government will go bankrupt first!"

Hu Huirong told the basic situation to more than a dozen ministers in the cabinet, and then he remained silent. He usually knew to spend money indiscriminately. Now he should give you a headache and know the difficulties of being in charge.

"What do you think? Tell me what you think!"

Cabinet Prime Minister Liao Bin said to the Cabinet Minister present that the first cabinet prime minister Cai Jian has retired because of his term of office and has returned home to pursue his dreams. Liao Bin, the sales director of Qingquan Technology era, won the general election and became the new cabinet prime minister!

The first cabinet prime ministers were basically older people among the senior executives of the Qingquan Technology era. They were experienced and mature, and could allow the empire to pass through the beginning period smoothly. When they were re-elected and their term reached, the government began to replace them on a large scale, and the young, powerful and passionate generation took over.

Liao Bin originally served as the Foreign Minister in the first cabinet and had considerable experience. In addition, he was an old man from the Qingquan Technology era, so it was normal for him to win the general election.

"There is really no good way. We cannot learn from the countries on earth to print money crazy. Other expenses cannot be reduced. I can't think of any good way for a while!"

The Imperial Minister of General Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Marley shook his head. He was very clear about the current government's expenditures. Many of them were suppressed by Hu Huirong, and there was no extra financial output at all!

"Implementing constant 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 this!"

Liao Bin also nodded. Being the head of the government is actually not easy to be a leader, especially leading a huge country like the Empire and 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 that everyone understands that those principles will never be shaken!

For example, technology is the foundation of a country! Implement a constant 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 debts to raise funds?"

The imperial minister of justice Chen Junwei is the oldest in this cabinet. He originally said that he should have retired early like Cai Jian and others to enjoy his own life. However, for various reasons, Liao Bin felt that an experienced minister was still very needed to participate in this cabinet, so Chen Junwei continued to serve as the minister of justice!

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet was elected by imperial citizens, but other ministers in the Cabinet were formed by the Prime Minister, so there is no problem in serving continuously.

"If you issue a treasury bond, you need to be mortgaged. The countries on the earth generally use national credibility as a guarantee, and the treasury bonds also need to pay interest. The treasury bonds of 100 trillion treasury bonds alone are a huge number. Our government's annual fiscal budget does not have much balance, and even interest is not enough to pay it back!"

"The reason why countries on Earth issue national debts on a large scale is that they can print money to try and pay back, but we can't print money to try and pay back these!"

"Our annual economic growth and fiscal revenue growth is a lot, but everyone knows that our empire implements a policy of encouraging birth control and is responsible for all the support funds for infants and young children. We have a large population every year, and the expenditure is growing very quickly!"

When he heard this, Minister of Finance Hu Huirong finally spoke again, solemnly reminding others that the national debt is mortgaged with national credibility, and that the principal and interest must be paid when it expires!

The empire's economy is developing rapidly and fiscal revenue is growing rapidly. However, the various expenditure growth of the empire's expenses is also very terrifying. There are not much savings and there is not enough interest to pay back.

"If it is not possible to issue treasury bonds, I really can't think of any good way. If the government wants to increase its own income, it is impossible to increase taxes, discover treasury bonds, print money, and other types of money!"

Chen Junwei smiled slightly, and was not angry at all when Hu Huirong denied it. He also knew very well that what Hu Huirong said was the facts. If the government issues treasury bonds, it will definitely bear huge burdens in the future, and the finances will definitely be very nervous!

"I think we can consider selling the future profits that Stars can obtain to Empire investors in advance? During the Great Discovery period, there was such a precedent in Britain!"

The person who spoke was Mo Qingming, the Minister of Science and Technology. The position of the Minister of Science and Technology was relatively important. Each of them was held by great scientists from the Imperial Academy of Sciences. With science and technology as the foundation of the country, the influence of scientists was implemented throughout the empire!

What Mo Qingming said about selling future gains in advance was the first time on Earth in Britain during the Great Discovery. At that time, Britain wanted to use force against India, but the government had no money because it had just fought a war with the Spaniards and achieved the status of maritime overlords.

But the opportunity to use force against India was once a lifetime. India was in a state of fragmentation at that time, and it was very suitable to take advantage of the situation.

On the one hand, the government had no money, but on the other hand, it was impossible to miss the opportunity. At that time, the British government 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 arrogant Spaniards and replaced Spain as the new maritime overlord, everyone in the whole of Britain was full of confidence in the war against India!

The war coupons issued were quickly sold out by the British at that time. The British government's original budget was quickly raised. Many British people also yelled that the government would continue to issue war coupons, so the British government also raised all the military expenses for occupying other countries in the South Asian continent.

And things were just as the British estimated, with giant ships and cannons that were ahead of the world at that time, the British army had no one-union enemy outside Europe. They swallowed the entire India very smoothly, turning India into the most dazzling gem in the British Queen's crown.

All those who bought war coupons made a fortune at the beginning, and the value of the war coupons alone increased by hundreds of times, not to mention that those big capitalists could directly carry out various colonial and plunder from India, making a fortune, and the original capital accumulation quickly became rich, which accumulated the foundation for the subsequent industrial revolution.

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

Marley, the Imperial Minister of General Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, shook his head. It was like pointing at the stars in the sky and telling the empire's citizens that our government will occupy this planet in the future. You now spend some money to help the government build spaceships. In the future, the empire will divide you into a continent on this planet!
