Zhu Jingyuan is the king of the Great Food Country, and it is definitely a big deal for the Great Food Country to leave the capital and the royal palace and go to a distant overseas "colony" to "inspect".

Of course, it is impossible to leave directly, you have to prepare the ships and escort troops in advance, and you have to arrange what happens after you leave.

Zhu Jingyuan immediately summoned the main courtiers of the Great Food Country, the heads of Daming Airlines and several laboratories.

Half an hour later, the relevant personnel rushed to the palace one after another, and converged at the Qingxia Palace, which was similar to the Wenhua Hall in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Jingyuan made a special arrangement that in the summer, officials did not need to wear formal robes, but could wear short single clothes.

But even so, there are fans in the places where meetings are held several times, and the summer in the big food country is still very difficult.

After the personnel arrived, Zhu Jingyuan didn't ink, and directly explained his thoughts:

"The eastern region of Mozhou, where Meng County is located, has been assigned to my Great Food Country.

"Moreover, the industrial zone under construction around Mengxian County will be the future textile and garment industrial base of Dashiguo.

"It's important for Big Food, and it's important for me personally.

"Today, I received a message from Lin Zexu that the trial production of the new military equipment I designed has basically been completed.

"So I'm going to go to Mengxian and the eastern part of Mozhou to inspect it in the near future.

"Personally understand the local situation and express my condolences to the officials, craftsmen and workers who are working hard in Mengxian County.

"Local affairs are temporarily left to you to deal with by yourself, and there is no special need to inform me if there is nothing particularly important."

The officials and craftsmen were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect Zhu Jingyuan to gather everyone for this matter.

Everyone is obviously very different from this, but they didn't expect Zhu Jingyuan to go to escape the summer.

Those who haven't lived in the middle of the continent will not immediately realize that the summer there will be cooler than the northern continent.

But there are still people who instinctively resist Zhu Jingyuan and leave.

Liu Zhixin, the left chief of the Great Food Country, subconsciously said:

"Your Majesty, the eastern part of Mozhou is a newly attached land, and there must be many barbarians in the local area who do not obey the king.

"And it may be a miasma there, full of poisonous insects and diseases, and there are many ink people and savages.

"This kind of place is too dangerous, the king must not go into danger."

Zhu Jingyuan immediately waved his hand with a smile and said:

"Lao Liu, you are lonely and unheard, Mengxian County was called Slow Basa in ancient times, but it is a thousand-year-old name.

"So everywhere is familiar land, not some miasma.

"This king is just going to our own factory to see, and he will not go deep into the interior and the places where the savages live."

Liu Zhixin still instinctively didn't want Zhu Jingyuan to leave:

"The king is the king of my great food country, our backbone, you are gone, how can this court run......"

Several other courtiers of the Great Food Country also subconsciously followed the persuasion.

In most kingdoms, this is a very natural thing, how can the king go out and run away.

Even if you want to patrol and travel, at least in the local area.

Just like the original king of Toyohara Province lived in Nagasaki for a long time, the courtiers of Toyohara Province were not very good.

Zhu Jingyuan is going to the colony, so across thousands of kilometers of the sea.

Just like the Ming Emperor was going to inspect Jiangnan, most of the old gentlemen in the court would not persuade him too hard.

Whether it's a boat or a train, it won't cost people money.

But if the Ming Emperor wants to go to the Tiannan Continent, then everyone will definitely try to dissuade him.

In the feudal kingdom, the Great Food Country itself is also outrageous, with a large land area and a long distance between the two parts.

The land in Mozhou is like a colony.

The ancient Great Food Kingdom in history, and later the Sultanate of Oman, all had colonial strongholds there,

Zhu Jingyuan faced this group of courtiers, and directly waved his hand again seriously and said:

"Don't persuade everyone anymore, have you forgotten that I'm not just the king of the Great Food Country,

"I am also the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and I am staying in the Great Food Country now, which is actually a state of governance training.

"At the end of this year at the earliest, and after the Chinese New Year next year at the latest, I will have to leave the Great Food Country and go to other places for training.

"At the same time, I also held the post of Governor of Dashi, Daqinhai, and Mozhou in military and political affairs.

"It stands to reason that I should have made a tour of these places, and if I don't go now, I won't have a chance."

Zhu Jingyuan has too many excuses to open up.

After Zhu Jingyuan said this, everyone suddenly reacted that Zhu Jingyuan's identity was really not just the king of big food.

With so many excuses put out, there is no reason for the officials of the Great Food Country led by Liu Zhixin to stop it.

Although I was very reluctant, I had to accept the reality.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the officials at the scene and found that only the official title of Niu Jian was not from the Great Food Country.

Therefore, Niu Jian was appointed to accompany him and was responsible for arranging travel matters, including liaising with shipping companies and liaising with all parties to respond.

Niu Jian immediately got up to receive the order, and at the same time asked a soul torture:

"Your Highness, the cost of this trip will go through the financial allocation of the Great Food Country, or your personal account?"

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously said:

"Just take my personal account."

Liu Zhixin immediately said loudly:

"By no means, the king inspects the overseas territory of the Great Food Country, of course he has to take the account of the Great Food Country."

A group of Kingdom officials immediately chimed in.

Niu Jian seemed to have expected this, and looked at Zhu Jingyuan with a calm expression and helplessness:

"So...... Your Highness ......"

Zhu Jingyuan looked at Liu Zhixin and the others:

"My trip this time is not only the main business of the big food country, but also my personal private affairs, so I should pay for it."

Liu Zhixin didn't give an inch:

"The king is the king of the Great Food Country, and all the expenses of the king should be borne by the kingdom, even if it is a private matter."

Zhu Jingyuan was speechless.

The emperors of all dynasties, as well as the vast majority of the Ming emperors, usually find ways to deduct money from the imperial court to their own hands.

When it comes to the expenses of the palace, the royal family, and the emperor's personal expenses, the imperial court will find a way to let the emperor pay for it himself.

In fact, most of the kingdoms are in a similar situation, and they all want to spend less.

But on the side of the Great Food Country, the situation is inexplicably reversed.

The king Zhu Jingyuan, and the court headed by Liu Zhixin, all wanted to spend some money themselves.

From each special point of view, the reasons for these two situations are even the same, and the budget is not good.

In the past, the imperial court and the ordinary kingdom had relatively fixed income and expenditure.

If you want to add an additional expense, you have to deduct it from other fixed expenses, and the corresponding items will be affected.

Which one to deduct is a question.

On the side of the big food country, the income is still growing rapidly, but the expenditure items tend to be fixed and even in recession.

A large amount of fiscal surplus cannot be arranged, and it is necessary to find reasonable reasons everywhere to find a way to spend the money.

The main source of fiscal revenue for Big Food Country is the direct sales revenue of crude oil.

In the past two years, the crude oil production of Dashi has been rising, and the demand for fuel oil in Daming has also risen.

Instead of decreasing with the increase in production, oil prices are showing signs of slowly rising.

Therefore, the crude oil sales revenue of the big food country has also continued to soar along with the production.

As for other sources of income, such as the business tax of individual industrial and commercial households, the small amount of import and export tariffs in the Ming system, and the local sales of refined oil products that have just begun to make profits, the amount is really inconspicuous compared to the profit from the sale of crude oil.

The source of financial revenue of the big food country is so single, but for the sparsely populated big food country, it is so abundant.

Correspondingly, the scope of fiscal expenditure of the big food country is also very limited.

In addition to transporting immigrants and procuring daily necessities, the main thing is the construction of various projects.

Daming can't give too many immigrants now, and if Da Shiguo invites immigrants at a high price, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

But Zhu Jingyuan made a plan from the beginning to control the scale of immigration in the big food country.

After the number of immigrants in Quicksand City reached 50,000, they no longer took the initiative to ask for people.

Among the construction projects, the most important new palace project was fully completed in the second half of last year.

A large refinery was also completed at the end of last year, and a pipeline connecting the refinery industrial zone was also completed.

The size of the large-scale seawater chemical plant is also sufficient, and there is no need to expand it without increasing immigration.

The construction of the large terminal is also almost complete, and there is no need to invest in it in the short term.

Big Food's own refineries, although limited in profitability, offset the cost of importing refined oil products from Big Food.

Although the main railway roads connecting the Red Sea, the Great Food Sea, the Great Qin Sea, and the Two River Basins in Liusha City have not yet been completed, these railways are not the projects of the Great Food Country itself.

The railways in the area directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Food Country are borne by the Great Food Country itself, and the railways in the area under the jurisdiction of the surrounding political envoys are shared by the Great Food Country, the local government envoys and the central court of the Ming Dynasty.

The proportion to be borne by the big food country is calculated according to the local indigenous population.

Since there are basically no indigenous people in these places, the big food country basically does not have to bear the related costs.

The railways in the areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Food Country have now been almost repaired, and the investment has basically ended.

In other words, the money made by the big food country is still increasing, but the large-scale project construction expenditure is decreasing.

As a result, the surplus of fiscal revenues began to rise.

This worries the officials of the Great Food Country, whose most important task now is to spend money.

For a political entity, the existence of fiscal revenue in the account is a data, which is equivalent to holding a bunch of IOUs in Wuxi.

If the numbers on the account are not used, it is equivalent to not making this money.

It is necessary to spend them, through the hands of the people and workers, and turn them into infrastructure, means of production, and means of subsistence.

Even if it is spent in a wasteful way, it can promote the circulation and vitality of the market, making it easier for the people to make more money.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan's research on petrochemical products, the construction of petrochemical plants, the construction of synthetic fiber textile factories and garment factories, and the imperial court of Dashi were all fully supported.

The Ming Dynasty gave the eastern part of Mozhou to the Great Food Country, and it became the latest investment direction of the Great Food Palace.

Zhu Jingyuan wanted to build railways and factories in the eastern part of Mozhou, and the imperial court of the Great Food Kingdom also fully supported it.

But these construction projects are also long-term, not overnight, and the key is likely to start making money.

The cost of rayon products is actually very low, but some products can be sold as luxury goods for a period of time.

The speed of spending money still can't keep up with the speed of making money from selling oil, so we have to find ways to spend money in other ways.

Zhu Jingyuan was going to Mozhou to inspect, and the Imperial Court of the Great Food Country was also very willing to spend this money, which just happened to solve part of the expenditure pressure.

But Zhu Jingyuan himself has money.

After the end of the peace talks at the Western Cape, Zhu Jianyan gave Zhu Jingyuan 30% of the royal dividends of the Xintianfu Imperial Village, and also gave several pieces of overseas land, which were Zhu Jingyuan's personal income.

Zhu Jingyuan also asked for the Baku oil field from Persia, and after Zheng Fuguang led the team to drill the oil well, he handed it over to the Royal Oil Company to operate and sold it to Lucia and other Tessie countries, and Zhu Jingyuan personally took the income dividends directly.

Daming Airlines holds the patent of flying machines, the Aviation Industry Association, the military orders of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces are overwhelming, the civilian orders are also continuous, and the advance payment orders of the Taixi countries with ultra-long delivery times, the profits are also very considerable.

There is also the big food clothing trading firm managed by Chu Yuqiang, which is getting bigger and bigger in Taixi, with more and more branches, and has spread to most of the big cities in Taixi, and the clothing for merchants and nobles is also ridiculously profitable.

Zhu Jingyuan's personal income as the Prince of Daming has also reached the point where he can't spend it without wasting it.

The key is that Zhu Jingyuan basically has no personal expenses, and as the living expenses of the kingdom, they are all provided by the court of the Great Food Country.

At present, the places where they can directly invest money are Daming Airlines and clothing firms, but their own profits have been fully able to meet their own normal expansion.

The income of the new Tianfu Huangzhuang and Baku oil fields, where to put it is a pure number.
