Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

At the Cabinet Office, Qin Lin came to the Cabinet Office with a contract for a large order of 255 billion yuan, and found Cabinet Minister Ji Deyuan, asking him to handle the amount.

"How much money is on the account now?" Qin Lin asked Ji Deyuan.

"With the addition of the 255 billion, it has exceeded 3000 billion, reaching a staggering 3150 billion," Ji Deyuan responded, "but the Ministry of Transportation will soon take 200 billion for the construction of roads, railways, and airports this year."

"So much?" Qin Lin was shocked. "200 billion is not a small amount. In previous years, the Ministry of Transport's construction funds were only to billion. This has directly increased by four times!"

"There are many projects this year," Ji Deyuan explained. "We expect to build 5 kilometers of roads, 8800 kilometers of railways, and 177 airports this year, so the funds consumed are relatively large, and there are also road maintenance costs."

"In addition to the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Education has also applied for 80 billion as education funds to build universities, middle schools and primary schools so that the people of our Great Qin Empire can go to school."

"Local governments also need a total of about 800 billion yuan in urban construction funds, which will be used by local construction departments to improve local housing, plan local buildings, and create a new type of city."

"800 million!"

Qin Lin laughed and said, "With more money, your appetite will increase."

"Just tell me directly, after deducting all the expenses, how much money will be left on the account?"

"550."

Ji Deyuan gave a specific figure and said, "The military department needs to consume 300 billion, the total urban construction funds are 800 billion, the scientific research department 150 billion, the shipyard needs to output 30 billion every year for the construction of the three major fleets, the military factory is about 30 billion every year, and my cabinet needs 150 billion, as well as various departments. Adding all these together, there is only 550 billion in reserve funds left."

"That is to say, our Great Qin Empire's expenses this year will require 2600 billion, right?"

"Ah."

Ji Deyuan nodded in response.

"Then I understand," Qin Lin nodded in response, "You can make a copy of the specific amount of this fund expenditure and give it to me."

"Understood. I'll have the Secretary General send it over this afternoon."

"Ah."

After saying that, Qin Lin left the Cabinet Office directly. He began to become active inside. In these years, his mind had been on the war. He did not pay much attention to the local affairs and left them all to the Cabinet.

The purpose of the cabinet is that no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. Therefore, this was also the key factor in the rapid economic growth of the Qin Empire in just a few years.

In all departments, as long as it is beneficial to economic development, all will be given the green light. After all, the development of Bao City in Guanghai Province is from a small village to a top commercial city today, which can be ranked among the best in the world. Without the green light all the way, it would be impossible to build such a huge economic city.

There are also four first-class cities including Kyoto, Shanglu, Guangyuan, and Sichuan, which have all begun to take off rapidly under superior policies and led the national economy to the international stage.

but!

Today, Qin Lin discovered a problem with this financial output, and it was a very big problem. This problem can be summed up in two words: corruption.

The country's annual fiscal output is 2600 billion. I'm afraid no one would believe this number, because the United States' annual fiscal revenue is only 1500 billion, half of which is invested in military expenditure and the rest is used as development funds.

Although the Qin Empire has become the world's largest economy, it is impossible for it to require 2600 billion yuan in construction expenses a year. Given the current size of the Qin Empire, it is simply unable to absorb this 2600 billion yuan in construction expenses.

Take the Ministry of Transport for example. The number of staff is not much more than last year, and more than one million transport workers have been mobilized to go to Hai Province for construction. So this year the Ministry of Transport will build 5 kilometers of roads, 8800 kilometers of railways, and more than civil airports.

Even if it can be completed, there will definitely be quality problems, because people rush to complete the task without paying attention to quantity or quality, and then take the remaining money and put it into their own pockets.

In addition, local construction funds will require 800 billion yuan. You should know that the construction of the entire Bao City only cost about 28 billion yuan. The five first-class cities have invested no more than 120 billion yuan in recent years. There are also major provinces such as Jiangbei, and the total investment in construction funds in previous years did not exceed 200 billion yuan. Now the annual construction funds required are 800 billion yuan.

Currently, except for the United States, the United States of America, and the Holy Freedom Alliance, no country in the world has a fiscal revenue exceeding 800 billion star coins. However, the local construction funds of their Great Qin Empire require 800 billion a year. Who would believe this if they told others about it?

Of course, the cabinet believes it, because these people in the cabinet always sit in the office and are not clear about the procedures of local construction, but Qin Lin knows it well. He came up step by step from the northern Sichuan back then. He has a basic understanding of prices, economy, local expenditures, road construction, and railway construction.

So after seeing the expenditure of 2600 billion, he knew that the Qin Empire was probably in darkness, and if it was not curbed, there would be big problems.

This also proves the old saying that when you stand at the top of the pyramid, all you see is beautiful scenery and a thriving trend, but what about in private?

After returning to the office, Qin Lin kept frowning. He was thinking about how to solve this problem, whether to boil the frog in warm water or to use thunder and lightning to remove it directly.

"Have the Minister of National Security and the Minister of Intelligence come to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Secretary General quickly made two phone calls. She knew that His Majesty was not in a good mood, so she immediately used the Samsung privilege and asked the two ministers to come and meet His Majesty directly.

"His Majesty."

In less than a quarter of an hour, National Security Minister Liang Renzhong and Intelligence Minister Wu Bei quickly came to Qin Lin's office. As Qin Lin's confidants, when they saw Qin Lin's expression, they knew that something big was happening.

"Sit down and talk."

Qin Lin waved his hand to signal the two to sit down. To him, these two were almost his right-hand men, one was in charge of intelligence and the other was in charge of local security.

"What is the current situation of the Ministry of State Security? How many national security police officers are there?" Qin Lin asked.

"There are 128 million active police officers and about 8 special police officers, for a total of 136 million police officers," Liang Renzhong answered directly.

"Ah."

Qin Lin nodded in response and said, "I called you two here today because I want you two to accompany me to take a walk and see the green mountains and clear waters of the Great Qin Empire and its simple people."
