On January 5, 130, the first year of the universe, Long Feizheng and the ministers held a meeting at the meeting.

The new Minister of Finance, Zeng Huanpeng, reported to Long Fei on the empire's finances for this year.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, my country's fiscal budget GDP this year is about double that of last year, reaching 236 trillion Tianyi coins this year."

The ministers of all departments look at me, and I look at you.

Everyone's eyes, expressions of excitement and anticipation, their allocation this year will be about double that of last year.

Tsang continued: "This year's budget will be about double that of last year, the domestic demand market of the main country has increased, and the consumption power of the people in our country this year is higher than last year, and many foreign companies have invested in our country, which has increased a lot of tax revenue in our country."

"The country's imports and exports trade with many countries, and any products exported to any country are settled in their own currencies, and some of the imports are settled in the two major international currencies, and they are also settled in their own currencies, which has led to a lot of appreciation in their own currencies, which has been 1:1 with the currency of the Earth's sphere."

"The country's products and currencies are very strong, and many countries are buying a lot of their own products, which not only allows the country to earn a lot of foreign exchange, but also does not show any inflation in its own necessities, daily necessities, and food."

"Although the price of these necessities increases every year, the level of increase is very slow and less than 1 percent, on the contrary, the annual income of our people has increased to 6%, and because of this relationship, the people's spending power is getting higher and higher year by year, and even ordinary people can buy many expensive luxury goods."

At this time, Ethan, the Minister of Health, raised his hand, and all the ministers looked at Ethan.

Long Fei glanced at Minister Ethan and nodded.

"Our country's economy is booming day by day, and the people's spending power has also improved a lot, but many people in our country have forgotten the suffering of the war back then, and now they are completely luxurious and wasteful, and this year's health report, I must say that the statistics of the food wasted in our country last year are more than 1 million tons a year in the form of rice, which is what we call rice."

Ethan continued: "If fruits and vegetables were dumped in the garbage dump last year, almost 100 million tonnes were thrown into the garbage dump, and meat was the same, or even more, almost 200 million tonnes were thrown into the garbage dump."

Ethan then popped up a few video photos of a group of cats and dogs being very obese.

Long Fei asked very curiously, "Ethan, are these cats and dogs pets owned by the people of our country?" Why are you so obese?"

"Your Majesty, these are not pets raised by the people of their own country, if they are pets raised by the people of their own country, most of them will be willing to control the weight of their pets and not let them eat too much, these are stray cats and dogs."

The scene of "......" is directly silent.

A minister asked curiously, "Did these stray cats and dogs meet well-wishers who feed them so fat?"

"No, the main thing is that these stray cats and dogs will go directly to some garbage heaps or the back of restaurants to dump garbage, and some people will pour those leftovers for them to eat, basically these stray cats and dogs will go directly to the time point and automatically go there to eat."

Long Fei asked, "Do these people pour a lot of food every time?"

"The team sent by Wechen, after many investigations, many people will never stop whether they are eating at home or ordering food in restaurants outside, even if they are a family of three, and they do not order more than five dishes."

"And if someone in the family does a holiday, like a birthday, a wedding anniversary, each table has at least more than 12 dishes, a table could have sat eight people, a table deliberately sits four people, for example, if you invite 64 people to come, you only need to call eight tables, the opening table is called to 16 tables, 24 tables are available, a table sits 4 people or 2 people, this is not an isolated case, basically almost every family is such a waste, thrifty families have become rare animals."

"Also, schools in my country provide student meals for students, but most of the students in the school basically do not eat student meals, and the food is brought by the family, but the amount of food brought by the family is very large, and every student throws it in the trash if he can't finish it, although the teachers ask the parents

But many parents disagreed, thinking that they had money anyway, and they didn't waste anything about the teachers, which made the teachers very helpless."

Long Fei looked at Lin Yunxin, Minister of Education.

"The Minister of Health is right," Lim said.

"What about the school meals?"

"It's all for those wild cats and dogs, and if you can't finish it, you will throw it in the trash."

Long Fei couldn't help but cover his forehead with his right hand, he always felt as if he had been thundered, he didn't like luxury and waste as an emperor, let alone those foreshadowing things.

His queen celebrates her birthday, and the ministers are invited to a banquet on the Thousand Autumn Festival, with eight people sitting at a table, and each table has only six dishes, one soup and one dessert.

As a result, their own people went to extravagance and waste, and even had to pave the way for an ordinary birthday to engage in those unnecessary pomp,

"Chancellor Ethan, you go on."

"The main reason is that the food prices in the country are too cheap, a pound of steak is only sold for 3 yuan, a whole machine chicken is less than 5 yuan, vegetables and fruits are a whole bag of maize 10 kilograms, the price is less than 3 yuan, 8 apples are 1 yuan, and the best quality of 10 kilograms of rice is only 6 yuan at most."

"The price of food in our country will be so cheap, in addition to China's advanced planting and breeding technology, we have developed artificial black soil with this advanced agricultural technology, so that many planted vegetables and fruits have shortened the growth cycle, and there are more production, and the quality is not inferior to that of vegetables and fruits produced by natural black soil."

"What's more, machines have been used to replace manual labor in many aspects, basically only a few people can operate a bunch of machines, except for some details that need to be manually adjusted, which also leads to low costs and cheap food sales."

Then, Jack, the minister in charge of customs and immigration, also raised his hand.

"Speak."

"Recently, the smugglers caught by Wechen's department and those illegal workers, as well as those sex workers who use tourist visas or smugglers (the Tianyi Empire has not legalized the yellow industry), their purpose is to come to their country, in addition to making money, they just want to mix with our country's ID card."

"These people who have been caught, no matter how many times they have been caught and sent back to China, they will try their best to smuggle in, they just want to stay in our country, and the reason why they come to our country is to envy our country's wealth and extravagance and waste, they once said that they would rather be dogs of the Tianyi Empire than go back to their own country to be people."

Long Fei suddenly remembered that he had also read some foreign media, and had reported on the extravagance and waste of the Tianyi Empire, and even said that the Tianyi Empire was to pour out a vast ocean of milk that was wasted if it didn't drink.

Long Fei read such a report and felt that it was just an exaggerated report by foreign media.

Long Fei asked Jack, "Did these smuggled guys read these foreign media reports about our country's waste and luxury?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, and this is not only in my Mars, but also in the realm of the Earth's sphere, which is also troubled by these things, sending tens of thousands of smugglers or those sex workers every day, and this is not just a neighboring country, it can be said that the entire Earthsphere and the colonies are ordinary people."

"Especially those female sex workers, taking advantage of our country's permission for men to have multiple wives, these women are willing to marry their clients as concubines, as long as they have not committed anything major for three years, they can get their own identity cards, for them, it is to do a relatively low-end job in their own country, and they get more salary in one month than in their own country for three months, and even food purchases are cheaper than in their original country on a one-to-one basis."

Long Fei's brows furrowed, the country's population has skyrocketed recently, not only the fertility rate has increased, but there are also many people who have immigrated, and the population of the Tianyi Empire has now exceeded 600 million people.

Women make up more than 75 per cent of immigrants.

And these immigrant women contributed 60% to this year's fertility rate.
