Chapter 368: We Can't Afford It
"Mr. President, I have found the earliest stub, the land bought by the Lei Teng family is the most central location of our Dongkou country, and your Prime Minister's Mansion was built on this land. The director of the Land Bureau said helplessly.
"How can this be ......," Kazamasuke's face turned pale, "20,000 square kilometers of land, even a few hundred years ago, was a lot of money, right?
"Mr. President, this matter is not so simple, I checked the history books, this Lei Teng family, like the Aoki family, is a family that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years. ”
The director of the History Bureau also took out a thick book, this one was at least more than 200 pages, although it was already somewhat mutilated, but most of the content was still complete.
"This Lei Teng family existed before the founding of our Eastern Kou Kingdom, and they were also the first people to engage in overseas trade, and it seems that there were many skilled craftsmen in their family at that time, and they made very advanced tools and objects at that time. ”
"Later, through maritime trade, large sums of precious metals, spices, furs and other things flowed into our Dongkou country, and the Lei Teng family at that time could be called the uncrowned king of the entire Dongkou country, and the gold, silver, diamonds and some valuable things they owned at that time were enough to buy more than twice the area of that land. ”
When this Lei Teng family was still there, these lands were useless at the beginning, first, there were not so many people in Dongkou Country at that time, and the conditions of that era were not capable of developing these lands.
However, with the development of the times and the economy, as well as the rapid increase in population, those places were first turned into pastures, lumber mills, farmland, fish ponds, etc., and the government at that time also gave this money to the Leiten family as rent through taxes.
The reason for the disappearance of the Lei Teng family is no longer able to be investigated, and it has become a historical mystery, and this part of the land has been reclaimed by the government as a matter of course, so the rent and the like are naturally not left.
It's been almost 150 years since then.
"What does this Maeda family mean?" Kazama asked, "Are they going to take back that piece of land? It's impossible! After so many years of development, many lifeline projects have been built on this piece of land, how can this investment be calculated?"
"Mr. President, the Maeda family has simply sent me these two contracts, with the addition that it is time to pay the rent on the land and the interest on the national debt. ”
"How much does it cost, who will calculate it for me?" Kazama's expression was still very serious, although he didn't know how terrifying this number was, but more than a hundred years of rent and decades of interest, this is definitely an astronomical amount.
"Mr. President, you must be mentally prepared," said Gen Teigo, "The interest on this treasury bond is about $3 trillion, but the rent is ......."
"Just say it. Kazama took a deep breath.
"Mr. President, according to the average rent of our country, the rent per square meter is about 500 Dongkou dollars, about 25 US dollars, then 20,000 square kilometers is about 500 billion US dollars, and this is only a year. ”
"Shhh
"We have been owing land rent for about 150 years, and according to some relevant regulations, the construction of roads, railways and other transportation facilities on these lands requires a part of the tax revenue to be given to the owners of the land, so it is conservatively estimated that this rent is probably more than 40 trillion US dollars, in other words, we can't afford to pay it!"
Kazamasuke's eyes were dark when he heard this number, and the sum of the two sums of money was close to 50 trillion US dollars, not to mention the Dongkou country, even any country in the world couldn't take it out.
Now they know why the real estate industry is profitable, which fool sold the 1,000-year property rights of the Lei Teng family in those days? And there are still 500 years to go, and they will pay back the money?
"What the hell is going on, haven't this Lei Teng family and the Aoki family all disappeared, how did their things run to this Lei Teng family?"
"Your Excellency, it is recorded in the history books that these three families were once vassals of a very old Oriental family, and their advanced technology and business thinking were all taught to them by that family. ”
"So it's fair to say that everything in the three of them belongs to that Dongfang family, so the three of them are almost inseparable from each other, and I think it was before those two families died out that they brought things to the Maeda family. ”
"Oriental Family...... Is it Huaxia?" Kazama suke looked at the continent faintly.
"There is no news about this family in the history books, but I think there are eight or nine yes. Kazama took out a few pictures, "Mr. President, there's another very interesting thing, look at this,"
The "This is ......" picture shows a sun-like figure, consisting of triangles and circles, but with slightly different details.
"These three pictures are the coats of arms of the Reteng family, the Aoki family, and the Maeda family, which are almost identical, because they all evolved from the same family crest. ”
"Why do I feel so familiar with this thing?"
"Yes sir," the director of the history bureau pulled out another picture, "this is the family emblem of the Sun family in Asia!"
Kazama shuddered, the heads of every Asian country are no strangers to this figure, the Sun family is extremely low-key, but it is the king of the whole Asia, except for the Chinese region, they never interfere, and the economies of other countries and regions are under their control.
And it is said that this Sun family is also Chinese!
"Could it be that the Dongfang family is the Sun family?" Kazama guessed, knowing that the Sun family's inheritance was probably longer than the history of China.
"It's not that simple, sir, look at these again, this is the family crest of the Lednik family in Europe, this is the family crest of the Mario family in South America, this is the Huaxia Zhuang family, this is the Lohrfes family in North America, this is the Brie Sheikh family in Africa, this is the Rehat family in Oceania and the Inuit family in the Arctic!"
Each of these families is thunderous, and it can almost be said that the combined power of these families can control the entire world!
However, the family coats of arms of these families are surprisingly consistent, and they are all based on the triangle and circle of the sun, with a few other elements added.
"Mr. President, we boldly guess that these families may all be just vassals of a certain family, and this family is the mysterious Oriental family as mentioned in the history books!"
Hearing this thought, everyone's expressions petrified, if such a family really exists, then wouldn't the entire earth be their vassals?
"Leave that family alone, it's just your guess," Kazama quickly shoved the idea out of his head, and now the most important thing was the two contracts that were imminent.
"Mr. President, I don't think they really want us to pay this interest and rent, and I think they know very well that this money cannot be taken out by any country or any force, unless the family we just mentioned really exists. ”
"So what do they mean exactly?"
"This should be a warning or just a signal, I think, they want us to take the initiative to negotiate with them. ”
After being silent for five minutes, Kazama still sighed, this matter always has to be resolved: "Help me make arrangements, Mr. Genkeigo, you can accompany me to the Maeda family tomorrow." ”
