One Piece: Conquer the World
Chapter 173: Another financial crisis?
The uncle in Qin's mouth is naturally Jiang Fan's brother-in-law Sanji. After the Battle of Upside Down Mountain, almost all the islands and residents in the East China Sea were packed away by the Kingdom of Flowers. The restaurants on the sea soon became empty and could no longer operate. At that time, Leijiu had just given birth to her daughter, and she was very concerned about her only brother, so she entrusted Jiang Fan to send someone to pick them up.
In the past two years, chefs such as Zhepu and Sanji opened a large restaurant in a prime location in Yanhuang City, and the business was very prosperous. As for Sanji, after seeing the feasting and feasting of the big city, he was really happy. He actually used the pigment fruit ability that Jiang Fan gave him to make invisible pigments, and went to the major bathrooms in the city every day to peek. .
It’s just that there is no such thing as this kind of thing. In the first few times, she was caught because the paint was stuck with moisture in the bathroom. Every time she was caught and beaten by the police, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. Reijiu ran to apologize to others again and again. Only then did he bail this little pervert out of jail.
But this kid just didn't want to repent. After he developed a waterproof paint, he still happily hung out in public bathrooms, and refused to listen to Reijiu's advice. Later, Reiju saw that he didn't take any further action, so she had no choice but to let him go.
One time when Sanji came to the palace to visit Reiju and Qin, he saw so many beauties here that he immediately felt as if he had discovered a new world, showing off his homemade delicacies everywhere. Although no one paid attention to him except Bonnie, Sanji still ran here every two days, quite enjoying it.
Jiang Fan was inevitably a little unhappy at first, but he also knew that this brother-in-law couldn't control himself when he saw a beautiful woman because of his bloodline factor. In fact, he couldn't do anything extraordinary. For Leijiu's sake, Well, it’s really hard to say anything.
Sometimes Jiang Fan feels dumbfounded. No wonder people say that his brother-in-law is a cheat on his brother-in-law. Even if he is not in the same world, Jiang Fan cannot escape this law of brother-in-law.
"Come, eat an apple first to relieve your appetite. Aunt Raven will make your favorite fried ice cream tonight, so don't be unable to eat it anymore. If uncle forces you to eat from now on, go to Aunt Bonnie or Aunt Iron. Make him as small as you and see how he can still do it."
Jiang Fan took two big red apples from the fruit plate, stood up and walked to the mahogany stand on the side. He turned around against the sharp Fangtian Painted Halberd. The peel was completely peeled off, revealing the white flesh.
The two little girls smiled sweetly, reached out to take the apples, and ate them with relish.
"Dad, I want to eat an apple too!"
Jiang Xiao, who was playing with his brothers on the side, trotted over and grabbed the apples in the fruit plate regardless of the mud on his hands. Jiang Fan frowned, and slapped him on the butt. The child looked aggrieved, lowered his head and obediently washed his hands in the fountain nearby, staring at Jiang Fan pitifully.
"You..."
Seeing this, Hancock couldn't help but patted Jiang Fan, came over and hugged Xiao Jiang Xiao, and peeled the biggest apple for him. Jiang Xiao chuckled and stopped looking at Jiang Fan. He hugged the apple and started chewing it.
Compared to his daughters, Jiang Fan's education for his sons was very strict. Although they did not beat or scold them frequently, they did not dote on them at all. He always feels that he has reached the pinnacle of his life, but if he waits for a hundred years and his future heir turns out to be a prodigal, it will not be a long-term solution.
The political system of the Kingdom of Hua tends to be a constitutional monarchy, a dualist constitutional monarchy in which the monarch and the parliament separate power. The monarch appoints the cabinet, and the cabinet is responsible to the monarch. The monarch directly controls the military and supervisory powers, while the parliament exercises legislative and executive powers. , but the monarch has veto power.
For some reason, Jiang Fan often thinks of Zhang Zuolin, the king of Northeast China in his previous life. Even though I have built a huge family fortune, his son is a loser, unable to keep the legacy of his father's generation, and he will regret it for eternity.
Jiang Fan has already made a fairly complete plan on his own to train his heirs. He plans to send his sons to the military camp for training as soon as they reach adulthood. His successor must have experienced wars, led the army alone, had tactical awareness, strategic vision, and a strong personality. He must not create a Zhang Xueliang.
Of course, with Luo, a person with surgical fruit ability, Jiang Fan might actually be able to achieve immortality in the future, without having to worry about the issue of heirs. But the cost of performing the immortality surgery is the life of the capable person, and if he alone is immortal, what will his wife and children do? This actually made Jiang Fan a little unsure.
People without thought, he must worry about. Maybe outsiders might think Jiang Fan was thinking too far, but he didn't dare to relax at all on this issue. Educating children is a major subject, and he must set an example.
"Oh, Lady Empress, your knight finally sees you again, please enjoy the special meal I carefully prepared for you!"
Jiang Fan's thoughts were interrupted by a disgusting shout. Sanji, wearing a black suit, was running towards here with a plate of dishes.
Jiang Fan's face twitched vaguely, and when he saw Hancock putting on high heels without saying a word, looking eager to try, he hurriedly grabbed Sanji and said angrily: "Brother-in-law, two days ago Didn't you just learn all six moves from Xiao Laiya? I heard that you are good at using the Moon Step. Come with me and let me see how you are doing with the other moves?"
Sanji's eyes showed strong resistance, and he said bitterly: "Brother-in-law, I don't want it..."
Jiang Fan shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, I will be very measured this time... I promise not to beat you to death!"
After saying this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but pull Sanji away. A moment later, screams like slaughtering pigs echoed in the training ground outside the palace for a long time.
……
In the meeting hall, which had nearly doubled in size, Jiang Fan sat upright in the main seat, looking at the young faces below, his heart racing and his emotions rising.
In the past two years, as the territory of the Kingdom of Hua has increased significantly, the government affairs have increased exponentially, and the original administrative personnel are completely insufficient. Jiang Fan simply showed his courage and promoted a large number of young and promising officials from the grassroots to serve, absorbing some fresh blood.
At this time, Jiang Fan is no longer what he used to be. He is busy with a lot of important things and has little time to listen to the voices from the lower levels. But when it came to selecting new officials, he still insisted on doing it himself and personally reviewed everyone who came to report. When the domineering power of knowledge and information was activated, he instantly penetrated everyone's heart. With this plug-in, Jiang Fan eliminated all those mediocre people who were incompetent or had evil intentions, and promoted some people with both ability and political integrity to serve as local officials.
After officials from all over the country got back to work step by step, the number of memorials reported was reduced by nearly half. Under the governance of these practical people, the Kingdom of Hua has reached a state of good governance and people. Jiang Fan could finally breathe a sigh of relief and spend some leisure time, nourishing the concubines in the harem and training his children in his spare time.
At the same time, Jiang Fan naturally did not forget about his own cultivation. Besides being greedy for pleasure, he also did not forget to exercise his body and practice martial arts. With the daily struggle of the gravity field, his strength is still increasing day by day.
At this time, Robin and Kalifa were waiting behind Jiang Fan, one on the left and the other on the right. The two beauties were top-notch in appearance and figure. They also had a variety of charming temperaments, forming a beautiful scenery and bringing people a wonderful feeling. The visual experience attracted the attention of many people.
Jiang Fan has become accustomed to this kind of situation, and there is nothing he can do about it. The secretary is beautiful because he is liked by others. It feels good to take him out to enjoy the envious eyes of others on weekdays.
After giving birth, Kalifa has gained a bit of a young woman's charm, and has a more dignified and virtuous feeling than two years ago. At this time, she is carefully summarizing for Jiang Fan.
"Since the beginning of the year, the country's total grain output has reached 61624 million tons, and the national treasury's grain reserves have remained at more than million tons. Including private reserves, it is about million tons."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall smiled with relief. Autumn has passed now. Under the correct operation of the Meteorological Bureau, all the areas controlled by the Kingdom of Hua have good weather and a bumper harvest. The grain crops produced are piled up like mountains. Every household has a warehouse full of rice.
Autumn grain and minerals and other projects have achieved bumper harvests for two consecutive years, which means that the material foundation of the Kingdom of Hua has been guaranteed, which can fully guarantee that every citizen has enough food and clothing.
Robin interrupted everyone at an inappropriate time: "Although the food reserves are abundant, the financial input is somewhat unsatisfactory. Last year, the tobacco and alcohol taxes received were about 36.7 billion beli, and the commercial tax was about 1.8 billion. Ten billion beli, plus other various incomes, the total income is about 300 billion beri.”
"It's just that construction has been going on in the past two years. Roads and bridges have been built in various places, water conservancy has been repaired, plus the research and development of weapons and warships. All kinds of expenses require money. Last year, a total of 350 billion beli was spent; these It is difficult to see results in a short period of time. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be a larger fiscal deficit next year.
"What, you spent so much money?" Jiang Fan was not surprised when he heard this, but he was also a little surprised.
Today's Kingdom of Flowers encompasses more than 80% of the population and land in the Pirate World. The population under its rule has already exceeded one billion. Compared with such a huge population base, the tax revenue Robin mentioned is indeed a bit pitiful. .
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Because the territory is too large, there are still many places in the country of Hua that are unmanaged. If it were not for the support of those banks, if Jiang Fan continued to carry out large-scale construction projects, I'm afraid the treasury has already been depleted.
Finance Minister Hank looked solemn and said: "Yesterday we have invested in newly issued currencies in major banks to replace the Baileys issued by the world government, but the response in the market is not very enthusiastic; especially those who are far away from Yanhuang City Far away areas are still at the level of barter, and it seems that it will take a lot of time to completely replace Bailey of the World Government."
When it comes to finance, after all, we still cannot avoid currency issues. As an important tool for the world government to expropriate wealth, Bailey's currency has been in circulation for eight hundred years and has already been deeply rooted. The new currency issued by the Kingdom of China wants to be released in a short time. The resistance faced by replacement will definitely not be small.
