Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Six: The Ground Is Worthless, Is the Ground Worthless?

Time passed day by day, and this year passed quickly, Xu Ping'an is really a little emotionally feeling that time flies so fast.

When the high-level leaders of the Star Spirit Empire held a meeting in the Star Palace, they were all taken aback by the financial expenditure of the Star Spirit Empire this year.

The state tax revenue has reached a new high, but the state expenditure has also reached a record high, and after deducting various expenses, the fiscal balance is only 32 billion rings.

It is conceivable how much money the Star Spirit Empire has spent this year, and a large part of this money has been invested in the National 1.0 Project and the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology projects.

Paku was under a lot of pressure, and at this time Xu Ping'an spoke.

"The Prime Minister is doing the right thing, although we are spending more money now, but from next year, we will spend a lot less"

"This is the foundation of our Star Spirit Empire's impact on a higher technological civilization, and there must be no room for mistakes"

"Prime Minister, I support you in carrying out this project with all your might, even if the national financial surplus is zero, we will continue this project."

Xu Ping'an's words suddenly reduced the pressure on Paku a lot, this is a national policy, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it.

With Xu Ping'an's support, even if there is a disturbance in the Congress, Paku is fearless.

The emperor and the prime minister are in agreement, and no matter how much the parliament wants, it will be in vain.

Your MP is elected by the people to represent the will of the people, and the Prime Minister is also elected by the people and also represents the will of the people.

Coupled with Xu Ping'an, the emperor with real power, the Congress really didn't recruit the prime minister, and you can't impeach it, because Xu Ping'an won't approve it.

Now many members of the National Assembly have reacted, and the set of state systems formulated by Xu Ping'an is to use public opinion to fight public opinion, and the emperor's status is transcendent.

Jumping out of the chessboard and sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai can easily influence the course of the country without chaos.

Paku breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to continue to report, the birth population of the Star Spirit Empire last year was 1.4 million, a new high.

There are 430,000 scientific and technological inventions of various kinds.

Don't underestimate this number, this is a patent for inventions, not those packaging patents and picture patents, although a country on the earth innovates millions of patents every year.

Among them, there are not even 100,000 real scientific and technological inventions.

According to a European media, there are only more than 70,000 real scientific and technological inventions.

It is conceivable how high the data of scientific and technological invention achievements of the Star Spirit Empire is.

As Paku's data was reported one by one, many people nodded frequently, the shortcomings of the Star Spirit Empire were decreasing, and the strengths were increasing, and the development of the empire had not stopped at all, and it continued to maintain a high-speed development speed.

The atmosphere of this year's meeting was good, Xu Ping'an invited everyone to eat together, and it happened that Xu Wentao also came back and participated in the dinner.

Xu Ping'an specially opened more than a dozen bottles of good wine, and everyone was so lively when they pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and everyone was in a happy mood when they talked and laughed.

After the meal, Xu Ping'an arranged a vehicle to send everyone away, and Xinggong also began to prepare for the Spring Festival.

There are more than a dozen members of the family, and this Spring Festival is lively.

At the beginning of the new year, with the upgrading of product technology of many enterprises, the construction of the national 1.0 project has been accelerated suddenly, and the overall innovation ability of the country is also improving.

Construction of two fusion power plants has already begun, and it is expected to be operational by August, when the holographic system will be widespread in the Star Spirit Empire.

After just ten days of work, Tianqi Machinery Group announced the delivery of three intercity saucer-type aircraft, two of which have the own Kingdom of the Star Spirit Empire, and one that is exported to TC.

After the news spread, the people on the earth understood that the countdown to the withdrawal of aircraft from the market had begun, and in the future, the main air transportation of mankind was this kind of saucer aircraft.

The heated discussion caused by this matter has not yet subsided, and TC announced that an extrasolar exploration team consisting of an interstellar exploration ship and an interstellar transport ship has set off today.

Explore planets outside our solar system.

At the same time, urge the Star Spirit Empire to open the coordinates of planets outside the solar system that can be developed as soon as possible.

This news immediately caused heated discussions in the media of various countries on Earth, and a week later, the Eagle Nation also released a similar consolidation, and also formed an exploration team to explore extrasolar planets.

Three days later, the United States also began to issue a statement urging the Star Spirit Empire to open the coordinates of planets outside the solar system that can be developed as soon as possible, and accelerate human society into the interstellar age.

Only EU officials issued a statement, hoping that the Star Spirit Empire could open up the planetary coordinates outside the solar system in the year after tomorrow, and now the countries on Earth are not ready to do it blindly.

The lives of astronauts are their lives, and they cannot be put at risk for political purposes.

As soon as this statement came out, it directly made the rice country, TC, Eagle country, and the three kingdom bigwigs have a pain in the egg.

MB, you EU are not ready, we are ready to put the safety of the astronauts at risk, you are too hooligans.

Before the three countries began to fight back, country E also issued a statement supporting the EU's decision and could not ignore the safety of astronauts for political purposes.

For a while, there was no need for the Star Spirit Empire to make a move, and the countries of the earth began to argue back and forth.

Xu Ping'an, Paku and other high-level executives are not in a hurry, but pragmatically continue to build the national 1.0 project, and even the five cities under construction are within the coverage.

Time passed slowly, and in October of the second half of the year, the National 1.0 project of the Star Spirit Empire was completed, and the trial operation began immediately.

It's really good that it doesn't run, and once it runs, many people get off the jump.

All the cities of the whole country are connected together into a complete mechanical equipment, and the system is adjusted according to various data, and the efficiency is suddenly improved a lot.

Water regulation, power dispatch, material allocation, taxation, transportation, natural resources, garbage disposal, etc., have all improved efficiency.

As soon as the order of the Ministry of Administration was issued, the entire empire went all out to carry out the order, and this efficiency was very surprising.

After a month of trial operation, it slowly stabilized, although some places were not very satisfactory, in terms of overall effect, all the senior management were very satisfied.

Xu Ping'an was also satisfied, it was nothing if there was a problem, and it was slowly solved.

When solving problems, we can also create better technologies, which are the foundation, and the accumulation of a month and a year will form a very strong foundation.

At this time, Tianqi Machinery Group delivered two exploration spacecraft, namely Europe and Japan, and all the delivery orders were arranged according to the time when the funds of the countries on the earth were in place.

It's not like you pay lip service to order and start producing for you.

The tone of the EU and Japan has begun to change, country E is uncomfortable, the economic problem is a big problem, the payment time is a little late, and part of the funds are from TC loans.

The elite of country E has realized this problem, and if they want to reform, there is a lot of resistance in the country, if it were not for the strong man who laid a solid foundation back then.

Country E is really about to fall out of the first group of the earth.

On this day, the current No. 1 boss of country E went to visit the strongman who had retired at home, and comprehensively discussed the importance of reform in country E.

The strongman will definitely give support, but he is worried about whether the first boss can withstand the pressure from all sides to carry out the reform.

The first boss reported his plan to the strongman, and the strongman agreed after thinking about it and expressed his support.

"You remember, when you take this step, there is no way back"

"If you can't carry out the reform, I don't need to say more about what will happen to you," Strongman said as he looked at the first boss.

"I understand that there is no way back"

"Since I have made up my mind to carry out reforms, either I will succeed or I will go to the altar for the country," the first boss expressed his attitude with a resolute face.

The strongman nodded and began to discuss with the first boss, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the first boss left the strongman's farm.

Three days later, Paku came to the Star Palace to find Xu Ping'an, because the No. 1 boss in country E had a phone call with Paku, hoping to get a large low-interest loan.

"What did you do with the loan?" asked Xu Ping'an.

"I didn't say it, I just said that this is a watch from country E, and if there is no loan, country E is afraid that it will sink" Paku said with a frown.

I know very well in my heart that the first boss of country E did not say this to himself, but to convey it to Xu Ping'an.

After all, Xu Ping'an had several secret cooperation with country E back then, although the process was a bit turbulent, on the whole, both parties kept their promises.

"How much is the amount," Xu Ping'an said with a frown.

"80 billion star coins, repaid in batches in five years" Paku reported truthfully.

Xu Ping'an thought for a moment, raised his head and said to the air, "Stars, call up the map of the E country of the earth."

Soon, a holographic image appeared on Xu Ping'an's table, and the map of country E appeared, and Paku didn't understand what it meant, so he didn't say anything.

"You go and talk to them, the loan is OK, you need to have a mortgage"

"If they can't repay the loan on time, they need to rent these places to us for 30 years, and at the same time, all taxes and fees will be waived," Xu Ping'an said and pointed out a few places on the map.

"Your Majesty, this is a wilderness, it's worthless," Paku said.

"The ground is wilderness, isn't there any value underground" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, Paku had a suddenly realized expression, he already understood what Xu Ping'an meant, and knew what he should do.

"Wait for my good news, I will definitely get a contract that satisfies His Majesty" Paku said with a smile, Xu Ping'an also smiled and nodded.

In the afternoon, Paku began to negotiate with the No. 1 boss in country E through a special line, and his attitude was not tough, but he made it clear that he could not provide a loan without a mortgage.

The agreement can be kept private, and if country E can repay the loan on time, the agreement will never be enforced.

Now that the ball has been kicked to the side of country E, the first big man said that he would think about it, and there will be a reply within two days.
