Super Power: Start on the Throne

Chapter 27 National debt?

How terrifying the profiteering of tobacco and alcohol is, this really doesn’t need to be repeated too much.

Take the previous Earth Yanhuang Empire as an example.

The annual tobacco tax in the previous Earth Yanhuang Empire was one trillion yuan.

The military expenditure at that time was also one trillion yuan.

So there is such a sentence on the Internet-

The smokers of the Yanhuang Empire fed the entire country’s army!

There is no exaggeration in this sentence!

So you can imagine how terrifying this income is.

And you must know that this is just a tobacco tax, and the alcohol tax has not been included!

What’s more important to know is…

There were only 300 million smokers in the Yanhuang Empire. If one trillion, a smoker would cost nine yuan a day on average.

But what about it?

3.331 billion people!

The smokers have not been counted, but it is estimated that they will definitely not be less than the Yanhuang Empire.

You can often see some old smokers smoking shredded tobacco with a big pipe, and more people make their own cigarettes.

In short, there are really too many big smokers.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng patted his forehead.

Really, how did you forget the tobacco and alcohol!

Immediately pressed a button on the desk phone, and soon, the secretary’s knock on the door rang.

With Qin Feng’s ‘in’, the secretary opened the door and asked respectfully: “Your Majesty, what’s your order?”

“Immediately start investigating Dagan’s tobacco and alcohol sales, as well as which private producers are producing, and how many smokers Dagan has, and give me a result as soon as possible.”

Qin Feng ordered.

“Yes!”

The secretary answered and quickly went down to arrange an investigation.

Seeing the secretary leave, Qin Feng also showed a smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately dialed the phone number of Sun Mingli, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Commerce: “Mingli, this is the case. Your Ministry of Commerce immediately proceeded to issue documents on the nationalization and prohibition of privatization of tobacco and alcohol, and the private operation of tobacco and alcohol must be absolutely prohibited. All are converted to state-owned operations.”

In previous lives, there were actually a lot of privately operated liquors.

But in Dagan, Qin Feng does not intend to do this.

There can be many, many wineries, but these wineries can only be operated by local yamen at most, just like tobacco.

Tobacco can also be operated by various local government offices. The Dagan court will collect a total of 80% to 90% of the revenue, and the remaining 10% or 20% of the revenue will be left to the local government.

This income is definitely not small, enough to occupy a large part of the construction of local Yamen public facilities.

Hanging up the phone of Zhang Sun Mingli, Qin Feng continued to watch the file.

At present, many foreign businessmen and entrepreneurs have come to work.

There are even many businessmen who have invested in building factories, and they will be in operation soon.

These are all types that do not require too high technical content. For example, some international big-name garment factories have come to build factories in Dagan.

Some of the clothes made can be consumed internally, and the rest can be exported to other countries.

Even if you toss like this, the final profit is more cost-effective.

Some of the more technologically advanced manufacturers are currently building factories, but the production lines have not yet been shipped. After the production lines they purchased arrive, they can be put into operation immediately.

Then there are industrial issues that Qin Feng is very concerned about.

With the support of the whole country, various basic industrial facilities have sprung up all over the country.

The metallurgical industry, basic chemical industry, and some machinery manufacturing industries are all blooming everywhere. More than a month ago, they could only build a bicycle or something.

Today, more than a month later, there is nothing wrong with building a tractor or anything.

After all, the technology required for this is really not high. Find a few talents and dig a few more talents, you can create it.

While basic industries are blooming everywhere, military industries are of course even less likely to lag behind.

At present, in just over a month, the shortage of basic weapons and ammunition has been basically resolved.

Several super-large light weapons manufacturing plants and ammunition manufacturing plants were newly added.

There are also several super-large military production lines that will soon be completed. These production lines will produce… rockets and rocket launchers.

And after the industrial facilities bought in the Eagle Country and other countries arrive, and then use the system to upgrade, you can directly start building high-end weapons such as third-generation aircraft, second-generation tanks, and Scuds.

Of course, all those technologies must be exchanged from the system.

After so many days, the national points have accumulated more than 100 million points, and those higher-tech things may not be exchanged, but the third-generation aircraft, the second-generation tank, and the not-especially awesome Scud technology are still okay!

As for industrial facilities that manufacture such real high-end weapons such as fourth-generation aircraft… this billion points is definitely not enough.

Even if they can be exchanged, Da Gan does not have that much money to produce.

So this has to be done slowly.

From a situation where a propeller airplane is not necessarily able to be built, one jumps to the industrial level that can produce third-generation aircraft in large quantities…

This kind of overtaking technology has surpassed the autumn famous mountain bike god, okay? !

Finally, there are hospitals and schools.

At present, they are all going well, with a large number of additions in each area, and everything is proceeding extremely smoothly and quickly.

After reading these documents, Qin Feng was completely relieved.

Go on, on the right track.

Now, all the facilities and weapons waiting to be purchased have arrived.

Then it’s time to really take off.

After reading the documents, Qin Feng turned over the documents of the Ministry of Finance again, and looked at the ‘national debt’ application filed by the Ministry of Finance, and fell into deep thought.

To put it simply, national debt is a bond issued by a country.

Then it is purchased by others, and the purchased money goes into the treasury of Dagan, and the purchaser obtains a treasury bond.

Treasury bonds can be freely traded, or they can wait until the time limit expires, and then exchange the corresponding amount from the Dagan government.

Generally speaking, take a savings treasury bond as an analogy.

If the great cadres issue national bonds worth 1,000 billion Qianyuan, the annual interest rate is set at 5%, and the time is 20 years, then after 20 years, the great cadres will need to pay 200 billion Qianyuan!

It is equivalent to saying that if someone buys a large-scale treasury bond of 100,000 yuan, then in 20 years, he will receive 200,000 Qianyuan!

Directly double!

This is the national debt, and it is also an investment.

And it is also a very popular investment internationally.

However, since it is an investment, there must be risks.

Although this risk is very, very low, after all, investors who want to invest safely in a country will basically choose to buy treasury bonds.

but!

That is for countries that are relatively strong and have very stable economic stability.

Do…

It is too poor at the moment, and the risk index is very high.

At least in the eyes of international investors.

What if you bought Dagan’s national debt and Dagan went bankrupt or disappeared?

Therefore, according to the current situation of Dagan, when the national debt is issued, it is really unlikely that many people will subscribe.

This is where Qin Feng fell into contemplation. *
