Chapter 965: We Can't Afford Such a Big Expense [Second Update]

During this period of time, the consumption of Xingling City has shown a hot upward trend, and the business of major restaurants is very good.

Especially those high-end restaurants, business is even more booming.

The knighthood is a great joy in life, and it is a thing worth celebrating.

Besides, after this canonization, you can receive allowances every month, and none of them are bad money.

This kind of hot situation in Star Spirit City is also playing out in other cities of the Star Spirit Empire, and those who have the titles of viscount and baron also begin to celebrate.

Although the title is not high, these people don't care, they are still young, and they still have a lot of time to struggle.

The title is selected once every two years, as long as your contribution to the country reaches a certain level, you can be promoted, and at that time you can go to the Star Palace to accept the emperor's canonization and promotion.

The time soon came to October, and on the 10th of October, many places in the Star Spirit Empire were holding award ceremonies, and there were many people who received medals, and it was impossible for all of them to go to the Star Palace, so they could only be held separately.

However, three thousand people were still invited to the Star Palace, and Xu Ping'an personally wore medals on these people.

Miao Yong, Niren and other thirty-nine people were awarded the Imperial Medal by Xu Ping'an, and the achievements of these people are worthy of this honor.

Moreover, Niren and Miao Yong both have the title of marquis.

As many as 40,000 people in the military have been awarded medals, more than 10,000 scientific researchers have been awarded medals, and many people in the management of the original Tianqi Group have been awarded medals.

There are many people who have both titles and medals, and these people are the cornerstone of the Star Spirit Empire, as long as these people are loyal to Xu Ping'an, the Star Spirit Empire will always be stable.

At the end of the day, Xu Ping'an is really tired, and it is impossible to do the same action thousands of times without getting tired, but now he must persevere.

In the future, there will be no more large-scale awards, and the frequency of the award will be basically maintained every three years.

There are strict restrictions on the number of titles and medals, and things are vaguely expensive, Xu Ping'an knows this very well.

After the natural death of the person who received the medal, the medal is withdrawn by the state, and at the same time, a one-time allowance is paid, and various regulations are clearly stipulated.

It can be said that the actual benefits of obtaining a knighthood and a medal in the Star Spirit Empire are better than any country on earth.

Not to mention, after the two events of knighthood and decoration, the earth media reported on the incident, and a new wave of immigration appeared.

Liu Bin is strictly censored, and people who do not have [new www.xxbiquge.xyz] vocational technology, scientific research technology, and ability are all rejected, and women have a lot of advantages, especially unmarried women.

There are many men in the Star Spirit Empire, and it is necessary to increase the number of unmarried women.

At the same time, Yarman enacted a new supplement to the Immigration Act, which made it difficult for families who planned to have pregnant women born in the Star Spirit Empire.

Six years, after the birth of the Star Spirit Empire, they had to live for six years to have the nationality of the Star Spirit Empire, and this rule made them all uncomfortable.

Moreover, during the six years after the birth of a child, no matter whether one of the parents has the nationality of the Star Spirit Empire or neither of the parents has the nationality of the Star Spirit Empire, will not be able to enjoy any benefits.

Only after you have lasted six years can the child enjoy the benefits of the empire.

There are also other regulations that further tighten the policy for people from Earth to work in the Star Spirit Empire, and the job position must be given priority to those who have the nationality of the Star Spirit Empire.

Survival of the fittest is the basis for Yarman's policy.

It's a little better to immigrate to the Star Spirit Empire now, as time goes by, the requirements for technical personnel will become higher and higher, and the path for ordinary professional and skilled personnel to immigrate will become narrower and narrower.

Xu Ping'an had negotiated with Yarman about the number of domestic population, and in the future, the population of the entire Star Spirit Empire would be maintained within 500 million to 550 million.

Once the Astral Spirit Empire opens up a new planet outside the solar system, it will directly immigrate 200 million people, and the population of Mars will be controlled at about 300 million and will not increase.

In different parts of Mars, environmental policies are very strict, and all kinds of consumer goods are mainly materials that can be quickly degraded, and plastics do not exist at all.

The use of plastics is completely banned from top to bottom across the country, and all other materials are used instead, and the same is true for many chemical materials.

Now, people on Earth have to admit that Mars is better than Earth in terms of environmental purity.

The oxygen content in the air is controlled at 20 to 21 percent, which can be adjusted at any time, and the temperature difference between day and night on Mars is shrinking, and the living environment of Mars in the future will definitely be stronger than that of Earth.

Time passed slowly, and Pluto, a small base was almost finished.

The entire base has three floors above ground and five floors underground, with a staff of 400 people, who rotate every year.

There is a large amount of food and water stored here, which can meet the supply of three exploration ships at one time, and on this day, an exploration ship that has left the Star Spirit Empire for five years slowly landed at the supply station.

A day later, the spaceship took off again and flew straight to the Star Spirit Empire, in a hurry.

So far, the Star Spirit Empire has sent a total of three exploration ships, and this is the first starship to return.

Time passed slowly, and when the spacecraft was about to arrive on Mars, a starship approached, and after the two sides contacted and communicated, the starship escorted the spacecraft to land at the airport.

All the personnel disembarked and rested for the night, and the next morning, the commander and deputy commander of the exploration spacecraft took some materials and went straight to the Star Palace.

A part of the Apocalypse Space Group was directly converted into the Ministry of Space, and James also became the Minister of the Space Department, and this part of the assets was used as the Star Spirit Empire's acquisition of the Apocalypse Group.

Of course, the purchase amount is repaid in instalments and is interest-free.

Nils, as the Minister of Finance, has clearly divided the financial revenues of the Apocalypse Group and the Empire, and completely separated the public and private and private.

At the same time, five percent of the government's net income is subsidized each year, and this money is also being divided as royal expenses.

Everything is moving in the direction of normality.

In the small conference room of the Star Palace, Xu Ping'an, Yarman, James, Qiao Yicheng, Chen Fansheng, and several others were all there, listening to the report of the Explorer Commander Hellyan.

The exploration team led by Hleon carried out a comprehensive exploration of a planet called honey, which was named by a scientific researcher because of his love of honey.

After a long period of exploration, nine veins have been explored on this planet, all of which are rich ores, and in the current words of mankind, these veins are all rare veins.

At the same time, an open-pit rare earth mine was also discovered on the planet, the reserves cannot be estimated, it is too large, and more than 100,000 square kilometers are all rare earth resources.

Moreover, the rare earth layer is very thick, and the exploration limit of Haryn's exploration spacecraft is 700 meters underground, and as a result, according to the analysis of the soil taken out from 700 meters underground, it is not yet in the end, and there are still rare earth mines underneath.

The variety is more abundant than any other country on earth.

Next to him, Yarman, Chen Fansheng, James, and Qiao Yicheng's eyes were all bright and bright.

For the country, money is nothing, and resources are the pursuit of the national level.

However, with Haryn's report, several people began to frown, Honey Planet has no atmosphere, the temperature is very low, and there is no water resources.

If you want to send people to the past to carry out full-scale mining, you need a lot of material support.

If the magnetic field is modified on the honey planet, the artificial atmosphere is transformed, the cost is huge, and it will be useless after the mine is collected in the future, and it is a complete waste.

Yarman and the others looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Ping'an, and found that Xu Ping'an was a thinking expression, Yarman waved his hand to Herman, Herman nodded and slowly left the conference room.

After a while, Xu Ping'an came back to his senses, looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about it, what should I do about this matter."

"I propose to modify the magnetic field and atmosphere of the Honey Planet," James said directly.

Xu Ping'an looked at James and said, "Tell me your reasons."

"Your Majesty, the speed of our exploration of the spacecraft is Mach 800, and at the speed of the exploration of the spacecraft, it will take five months to get from Pluto to the Honey Planet, and it will take almost a year to make a round trip."

"If we transform Planet Honey into one of our supply stations, it will be a great convenience for the exploration spacecraft to explore other planets."

"At the same time, I communicated with Minister Qiao Yicheng that the Ministry of Science and Technology can increase the speed of the Explorer spacecraft to Mach 1,000 in two years, and after the increase, there is no possibility of an increase in the next ten years or so."

"Our technology accumulation is not enough, we must accumulate, this time cannot be determined"

"Therefore, we very much need to build a supply depot outside the solar system, only then will our exploration not stop"

James explained his reasoning.

When Xu Ping'an was thinking about it, Yarman said, "I am against this plan, the empire's finances are very tight, and it is impossible to carry out such a big plan for the time being, so it is recommended to postpone it for three years."

James and Qiao Yicheng's faces were dark, looking at Yarman with a helpless face, Xu Ping'an smiled and didn't speak.

"Prime Minister, you must know that there are many resources on the Honey Planet, and these resources can bring great benefits," James looked at Yarman and said directly.

"Yes, Prime Minister, those rare metals are very important for the improvement of science and technology, and they are the foundation for our Star Spirit Empire to stay ahead, no matter how difficult it is for us to carry out," Qiao Yicheng also expressed his opinion.

"Both, we just knighted and awarded this year, and the Imperial Treasury spends a lot of money every month, I'm sure you're high."

"The net profit of the imperial government this year will not exceed 20 billion star coins, environmental transformation, education, road construction, airport construction, etc., all need to spend money"

"Also, we need to repay our foreign debt every year, and the first bond issued by the government will mature next year, and we will have to pay the principal and interest to recover these bonds."

"If we promote the construction of the Honey Planet again, many projects in the entire Star Spirit Empire will have to be stopped next year, and our economy will not be able to bear such a big expense."

"We can't afford to spend three to four years without three to four years of development"

"Besides, the honey planet will not run, and the countries on Earth will not have the ability to go out of the solar system in the next ten years, and we can play for a few years to mine"

"When the economy eases, I will absolutely approve your plan and will not create any obstacles," Yarman said in a very serious tone as he looked at the two of them.
