"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ten fleets with a total of 25,000 warships, will this be too much?"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Ou Yang looked tentatively at His Majesty the Emperor.

For the Empire, this was an extremely terrible expense, and it was almost impossible to build 25,000 warships without a thousand years.

"Is it much?"

Yang Yu squinted at Chancellor of the Exchequer Ou Yang.

"No, not much." Seeing the emperor's gaze, the Chancellor of the Exchequer swallowed his spittle, and the cabinet ministers who had proposed to abandon nuclear weapons were not heard.

All of them were demoted, and some ministers were even killed.

He didn't want to test the Emperor's blade.

Seeing his scared look, Yang Yu smiled inwardly, "I am going to build a civilian berthing port, what do you think of Aiqing?" ”

"The minister thinks it's feasible."

Prime Minister Long Zhi pondered for a while and said: "The military berthing port is used for the research and development of warships and the place where warships are berthed, not for civilian spacecraft to berth. ”

"Now that our Star Empire has established diplomatic relations with more than twenty civilizations, their ships will also come to the territory of our Star Empire."

"And it will also be anchored in the military port of our Star Empire, so it is easy to expose the military strength of our Star Empire, and what warships, motherships and other things we are building, they can know as long as they pay a little attention."

"It's very inappropriate."

"They know about the configuration of our fleet, but we don't know anything about them, we don't get anything, and in the future we will have disputes over interests, even to the point of settling them with war."

"In that case, our Star Empire will be in a passive situation."

Listening to Prime Minister Long Zhi's narration, all the ministers knew the seriousness of the situation.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was no longer distressed at this moment, and agreed with Prime Minister Long Zhi's idea, "Your Majesty, the Chancellor proposes that if a civilian port of berth can be built as soon as possible, a civilian port of berthing will be built." ”

"The sooner a civilian port of call is established, the more beneficial it will be for the development of our empire."

"Now that the empire has entered the interstellar era, the development of the empire alone is far from enough, and the people of the entire empire need to participate, so that the development of the empire can be promoted again."

"After all, the development of the empire in all aspects is inseparable from resources, and the capacity of the empire is also limited.

"What about the tax on starry sky resources?"

Listening to the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Yang Yu nodded in agreement, and then thought of the tax issue.

Interstellar is the era of big waves and gold rushes.

It's about the development of the empire.

"Sixty percent of the tax."

In this regard, the Minister of Public Security said.

"Sixty percent? Will it be too much for the businessmen, I propose to charge a seventy percent tax. ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Ou Yang completely disagrees with the idea of sixty percent, what kind of joke, only sixty percent, too much for businessmen.

If you want to collect it, you will receive seventy percent.

They take 30% and can make a lot of money.

Take forty percent, then it is really no different from robbing the Imperial Bank.

"Seventy percent, will it be too high?"

The Secretary of State for Education asked tentatively.

If you do that, who wants to exploit the resources in the starry sky?

"Fifty out of seven." At this moment, Bai Qi, who was indifferently next to him, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Bai, you're not kidding?"

Prime Minister Long Zhi looked at Bai Qi in horror, are you crazy?

The empire charges seventy-fifty percent of taxes, and what merchant would go to develop space?

"Are you kidding? Ben Shuai never jokes. ”

Bai Qi's face was indifferent, and there were hardly any emotional fluctuations in his tone, and he said: "For all the resources mined within the territory of the empire, merchants must pay seventy-fifty percent of the tax, and they are not qualified to bargain. ”

What are the Imperial soldiers fighting desperately on the front lines for?

So that the empire will not be oppressed by other civilizations, and they can live in peace within the empire.

And the territory of the empire belongs to the empire, and it is already a great gift for them to mine resources and make money.

Still thinking about taking 30% of the benefits?

Are you kidding.

It's okay to take 30%, when an interstellar pirate robs you, the imperial military will only ensure the safety of your life, and will definitely not ensure your assets.

"What about the resources mined outside the empire's borders?"

Everyone smacked their tongues secretly, and then the prime minister asked.

"Resources outside the borders of the Empire? If they are not afraid of being harassed by forces such as interstellar pirates, it is no problem to take seventy percent of the benefits. ”

Bai Qi said indifferently.

If you want the protection of the Imperial fleet, then honestly pay seventy-fifty taxes.

If you don't want the protection of the Imperial fleet, it doesn't matter how much tax you pay.

That's what he did.

"Seventy out of five? I think it's okay, pay seventy percent of the tax, the empire is their strongest backing, pay seventy percent of the tax, the empire is also their strongest backing, but the empire will only ensure their safety, not their property. ”

Yang Yu pondered for a while and said.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and they can't give them too many benefits, just let them eat enough, and they will eat too much.

It's easy to get into trouble.

will lead to the rise of capital again.

He didn't want to see capital crisscrossing the Star Empire.

The Holy Dob Empire is a prime example.

The aristocracy controlled almost the entire economic lifeline of the Holy Dob Empire, which led to William III having to bring in the Star Empire to help him secure the aristocratic capital.

As a result, he got away with it and underestimated the strength of the Star Empire.

And then the whole empire was buried.

"Since Your Majesty and Mr. Bai both said to take seventy into five, then take seventy into five."

Hearing the words of the emperor and Bai Qi, the problem of several ministers arguing for more than half a month was finally resolved.

The emperor's words basically represent the direction of the Star Empire.

Bai Qi and the Bai family behind him are all loyalists of the emperor and represent the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand.

"Now that it's all negotiated, let's go for it! The development of the empire is inseparable from you, so don't let me down. ”

"No."

……

After the cabinet ministers left, Yang Yu said: "Xingchen, find out the fields that the academicians of the Imperial Academy of Engineering are good at." ”

"Your Majesty, it's been sorted out."

Looking at the information projected by the artificial intelligence stars in front of him, Yang Yu carefully checked it.

The people who can access the information of all the academicians of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, I am afraid that there is no one except Yang Yu, the emperor of the Star Empire.
