James and Qiao Yicheng were silent, knowing that what Yarman said was true, and they also knew the situation handed over to the treasury, and now they could only look at what Xu Ping'an meant.

"Yarman, according to the information sent back by the Ministry of Intelligence, TC, Japan, the European Union, these three economies have completed the design of a new generation of Starship, and there has been a great improvement in all aspects"

"It can be seen that they are not giving up, but they are catching up, and the gap with our Star Spirit Empire is narrowing"

"Among them, the new generation of starships built by Japan itself has made great progress, and the speed of our cargo spacecraft is not very different"

"We really can't afford to be careless about this"

"Let's adjust the tax, our personal income tax is levied at 10,000 star coins, and it is directly adjusted to 5,000 star coins to start collecting"

"The amount levied in the range of 5,000 stars to 10,000 stars is a little smaller, and the income above 10,000 stars is slightly higher, after all, our tax collection ratio is much lower than that of all countries on the earth."

"Those companies have made so much money, it's time to bleed"

"A clear notice is issued, after this adjustment, the ten cities of the Star Spirit Empire will not be adjusted until they are completed and put into operation."

"Now that the anti-aging gene drug has been put into production, although it has only been running for more than a month, the profits and taxes that can be created are not a lot"

"There are a lot of factories under construction this year, and they will be put into operation next year, and I believe that next year will create more profits and taxes."

"Besides, the bonds we found are small, and many countries on Earth hope that we can issue more so that we can share the dividends of our Star Spirit Empire"

"Then issue another bond, the transformation of Mars and the construction of the Star Spirit Empire cannot be stopped, and similarly, our exploration of the outer solar system cannot be stopped" Xu Ping'an clearly expressed his opinion.

Yarman thought for a while, looked up at Xu Ping'an and said, "Your Majesty, is it okay to compress the investment in scientific research, at least next year it will not grow, and it will be stable."

Xu Ping'an smiled, understanding Yarman's difficulty, the Ministry of Science and Technology's scientific research funding has maintained an annual growth of three percent, don't look at the growth rate, but the Ministry of Science and Technology's annual expenditure is as high as more than 20 billion star coins, which is not a small number.

Many science and technology companies in the Star Spirit Empire have financial subsidies from the Ministry of Science and Technology.

"Yes, the Ministry of Science and Technology's scientific research funding remains unchanged"

"At the same time, the current figures for all departments will remain unchanged and no increase will be allowed"

"We will be adjusted in a few years, there is no need to do everything in one go," Xu Ping'an said directly, giving Yarman enough face.

Hearing Xu Ping'an say this, Yarman nodded with satisfaction, next year will be a lot better, you know, next year many projects will be run, and taxes in all aspects will be further increased.

In the case of constant expenditure, the net income will definitely increase a lot.

"One more thing," Yarman said with a hesitant look on his face.

Xu Ping'an looked at Yarman's expression and felt very strange, nodded and motioned for Yarman to say directly.

"Your Majesty, my health is no longer good, I hope to retire in two years" Yarman said directly, Xu Ping'an immediately began to rub his head.

"I'll think about it, I'll give you an answer early next year" Xu Ping'an said directly, and Yarman nodded.

Qiao Yicheng and James looked at each other, and they were also very helpless, although they were a little younger than Yarman, they were not young.

The Star Spirit Empire is about to enter the stage of high-level management replacement, the older generation will retreat, and the new generation will take the position.

After some other discussions, the meeting was dismissed.

After the meeting, I took a break after lunch.

Xu Ping'an carried a bottle of wine alone to the small garden he had specially built on the top floor of the floor, this small garden was not big, and it was very quiet.

It is a place where Xu Ping'an will inevitably come when he is upset, or when he thinks about something.

Sitting down and pouring a glass of fruit wine, his mind began to communicate with the Star Spirit, and he started the Star Spirit Empire's personnel inspection plan to prepare for the next personnel adjustment.

It didn't take a long time, Miao Yiyi came over, Xu Ping'an patted the seat next to him after seeing it, and Miao Yiyi walked over and sat down.

"Why did you come here to find me," Xu Ping'an asked.

"I just finished working with the company, and after I came back, Darina was resting, and I came here when I was bored alone," Miao Yiyi said very calmly.

"How is your film, it won't be the same as the last time" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, Miao Yiyi gave Xu Ping'an a direct look.

Miao Yiyi's film and television company lost a lot of money in the last film, investing more than 3 million star coins, and the box office was only a pitiful 130,000.

No one can be blamed for this tragic situation, it is Miao Yiyi's responsibility, she was fooled by others, and she filmed a literary film that most people can't understand.

"This time is different, this time my film is a complete commercial film, and the plot has been polished in detail by two big directors, with an investment of more than 20 million star coins"

"There will never be a failure," Miao Yiyi said with confidence.

"Don't be careless, there are hundreds of large and small film and television companies in the Star Spirit Empire, and a large number of films are released every month, if you want to stand out, it's not so simple" Xu Ping'an kindly reminded.

"If this work fails again, I will hire a professional manager to be in charge of the film and television company, and I will quit, like Sister Song, I will no longer manage the company," Miao Yiyi said categorically.

Xu Ping'an smiled and didn't speak, but picked up the wine glass and took a sip directly.

"Next month, the Ministry of Sports plans to launch a football league, you say, how about I set up a football club," Miao Yiyi asked on the side.

Xu Ping'an realized that the purpose of chatting with himself was for the football club.

"You think about it, don't be fooled, it costs a lot of money to play a football club"

"Again, the country now has only five cities, each with only two large football fields, and a maximum of ten football clubs, no more can afford it"

"You don't want to get involved" Xu Ping'an directly didn't let Miao Yiyi participate in this matter.

"You can play, why can't I play" Miao Yiyi said with a frown.

"Do you have that money to play, how much money can you draw out, partner with others, I'm worried that your investment will be eaten reasonably and legally"

"The country has to talk about rules, which is different from before, and I can only fill this bottomless pit for you when the time comes"

"If you really want to carry out this project, I can tell you that once the club loses money, I will not care, you can only sell your personal property to make up for it," Xu Ping'an said directly.

The pool of football clubs is very deep, not that you can play if you have money, unless you are too rich, otherwise, you will never be able to play, and losing money is a must.

"Okay, I'm not participating," Miao Yiyi said helplessly.

After talking to Xu Ping'an, Miao Yiyi left directly, and Xu Ping'an shook his head helplessly.

Except for Darina who has not changed, Isabella, Song Xinyun, and Miao Yiyi, all three of them have changed a lot after the establishment of the Star Spirit Empire.

This kind of change is not what Xu Ping'an wants to see, so he can only try to restrain it.

Isabella and Song Xinyun still have some scruples because of Xu Qian and Xu Wentao, but Miao Yiyi doesn't have so many scruples, anyway, her son doesn't plan to inherit the throne, and she has to enjoy life even more.

At the very least, to leave a big consortium for his son, last year, Miao Yiyi's plan to borrow one billion star coins from the Apocalypse Investment Bank was known to Xu Ping'an.

Directly ordered, prohibiting the royal family from borrowing more than 10 million star coins, if you borrow in violation of the law, the royal family personnel have the right not to repay.

Directly blocked the possibility of loans from people around you, if the bank wants not to lose money, don't approve over-standard loans, if you take out a loan, it is reasonable and legal not to repay your money at that time.

Xu Ping'an's temperament is to do what he says, and with this statement, the bank knows what to do, and directly cut off Miao Yiyi's thoughts.

Looking calm over the years, national affairs, family affairs, and business affairs, so many things are pressed over whether it is okay or not, which makes Xu Ping'an very irritable.

Xu Ping'an knew very well in his heart that there was absolutely no sign of relief in recent years, so he could only continue to suffer.

Time passed slowly, and soon the end of the year came, and in January, a high-level government meeting was held, and Yarman made a work report.

Last year, the financial revenue of the Star Spirit Empire increased by more than 30 billion Star Coins, and the population increased by a little more than twenty-five, which exceeded the expectations of various departments.

Exports, an increase of more than 20 million crystals, can be regarded as a further reduction in the trade deficit with the earth.

The number of patent approvals has also increased by more than 2,000, of which the number of invention patents is 4,618, once again hitting a new high.

There has been a lot of growth in all other aspects, especially the Phantom City and Qin City that Xu Qian and Xu Wentao are responsible for, which are making rapid progress.

In the first half of this year, municipal office buildings and the first batch of residential quarters will be delivered, and by the second half of the year, the city's commercial districts, several urban parks and up to 10 residential quarters will be delivered.

It is expected that the development of the two cities will be even more rapid this year.

After summarizing last year's development, we began to discuss this year's development plan, but this time the discussion time is short, after all, many laws and regulations have begun to be implemented, and it is enough to implement them according to the regulations, and there is no need to discuss so much.

The construction of a new city will not be carried out this year, because the cost of building a new city is huge, and the financial pressure this year is not small, so it is necessary to slow down and build an eighth city next year.

Five days later, after the meeting, everyone returned to their units and began to prepare for the distribution of welfare bonuses, and after a period of time, they would have a holiday to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The Star Palace also began to be lively, Xu Qian and Xu Wentao also came back after arranging the affairs of the city, Xu Qian took his girlfriend, but Xu Wentao was alone.

This made Isabella very dissatisfied.

Xu Ping'an smiled and didn't speak, because Xu Ping'an knew that Xu Wentao was in love with Lin Yide's daughter Lin Xiaowen, and the two kept it very secretive, and Lin Yide didn't know about it.
