Chapter 667: Not going home! Low allowance!
"Dongfang, you've been in the department for less than three years, and you've spent a lot of money. Soldiers are blessed!"
"It's OK, the money is not much!"
Song Xianxian, "Mom, our shop income has increased a lot this year. Next year, after deducting expenses, we will have two million. Shop rents and house prices are rising very fast. The price of shops in Dashilan has reached 800 yuan per square meter!"
"With such a high rent, the cost can be recovered in five years. It's really a good business!" The mother-in-law was very happy.
"It will probably go up in the future, as there are more and more wealthy people! It's just starting now, so why shouldn't it go up? The government also hopes that prices and wages will go up.
After the cost price and ex-factory price of some materials increased, the financial situation improved a lot and we now have some money.
Dongfang, starting from next year, will you sell the materials you bring back to the country at half price, and this half of the income will belong to the army! "Song Qianli asked.
“Yes, I worked for the country for free for ten years, and the country charged the factory, so the country made a lot of money.
When I joined the army, I also had to consider the army. The 3% of the country's annual fiscal revenue was not enough for the army.
It will be 4% starting next year and will remain unchanged for ten years. I am ready to make money for the military. The military needs money to replace its equipment in the 80s!
"Dongfang, how much financial revenue is appropriate for the army?" Song Qianguo asked.
"8% is appropriate. The military will just be burning money in the future. The first batch of the latest third-generation heavy fighter jets cost 1.5 million.
Converted into actual RMB 3.75 million per aircraft, not counting the 510 billion research funds, one aircraft is times the price of my country's medium-sized fighter jets. There is really no comparison. How many aircraft can we build in our place! "
"The Eagles are so damn rich!"
“It’s time to eat!”
......
"Eat less Dongpo pork and some vegetables!"
"Duoduo likes it and ignores you. Dad, give me money!" Duoduo asked for money.
"You are so young, what do you need money for? Is one hundred yuan enough?" Song Qianguo asked.
"Uncle, how much is the house?"
"Hahaha, Duoduo, you have a good memory. You still remember to ask your father to buy a house. There is a place for you to live in your uncle's house!" Song Xianxian laughed.
"My sister and brother live in a small house, and we live in a big house, which is so big!" Duoduo pointed to the living room of his mother-in-law's house.
"Children, don't live in a big house. They will be scared. Buy a house when you grow up!"
"Dongfang, why does Duoduo want to buy a house!" The mother-in-law doesn't know what happened?
After Cao Dongfang explained what happened, everyone understood that Duoduo didn't want to go home and study with Cao Jiajia, so he wanted to buy a house.
"Hahaha, Duoduo, you are too young. You can live in a big house when you grow up! It's enough to live with your uncle now!" Song Qianli laughed after hearing this.
"No, I want to be like Aunt Jiajia, with a big house, not getting married, and being able to eat braised pork and roasted lamb!" Duoduo insisted on his own ideas.
"Duoduo, you are less than five years old and you think too much. Buying a house just to eat meat is a bit too exaggerated!" Mo Jinlan was speechless.
"Duoduo also needs to learn to write, draw, and play the guzheng. My uncle can learn how, but my mom can't!" Duoduo had many reasons.
"Duoduo, you can learn these things even if you don't have to buy a house. It's hard to buy a house at your uncle's place. When Duoduo grows up, buy your own house. Now, how about eating well!"
"Okay, I'll eat. Duoduo has grown up, so he can buy his own house and ignore his dad!" Duoduo reluctantly refused to buy a house.
"Hahaha, Qian Guo, you are so pitiful!"
After dinner, Duoduo decided not to buy a house and go home with Cao Dongfang because her uncle's family had many children who could play with her.
Finally, Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian took their three children home again.
The older Duoduo gets, the less she wants to go home, and there are not many children at home who want to play with her.
Song Chunming's four children are all in school. They have grown a lot and have no children of similar age to play with.
.......
At the end of the month, the TV broadcast the news that Cao Dongfang officially took over the post of Minister of Defense from New Year's Day and the old generals retired.
Marshal, more than 30 generals retired at one time. This is big news again. The people can talk about it for days.
As for who Cao Dongfang is, everyone knows him, but most people just think he is younger and don't say anything.
.......
“Dongfang, this is the housing construction plan for this year. Everyone will have a house, including scientific researchers.
Their children were recruited into the army for various reasons and began to execute the plan in the Xxx Division outside Beijing.
The problem of scientific researchers has been basically solved, and the only thing left is to allocate housing this year. "
"It's solved. Mr. Yang, please ask the logistics comrades to keep a close eye on it and make sure there are no problems. How are our vegetable and pig farming negotiations with the local government going?"
“The discussion was quite good. In your words, it is a win-win situation. It’s just that some remote areas are not suitable for raising pigs or growing vegetables.
We don’t have many people, most of us are on the border and on the islands! There are 100,000 people, too scattered! "
"Without them supporting us, how much less are the outputs of our instant noodle factories, canning factories, and sausage factories now than those of the entire army?
If we increase border defenses and double the supply to the islands, is that okay?" Cao Dongfang asked.
"You mean first them, then the inland troops? I'll go check it out!"
"There is another thing. Can the food allowance be increased together with the allowance? Let's check them all. The country has more supplies now, and we can't let the soldiers suffer too much!"
"Dongfang, do you really want to increase the allowance?" asked the chief of staff.
"Our military allowances are not high, not even up to the world average, the gap is too big.
There has been no problem in the international situation in recent years, and our military does not have much to spend money on. Let's first increase the income of soldiers. A soldier earns less than 50 yuan a month.
They also have parents and brothers, and they should earn some money to take care of their families.
In the West, one soldier can support a family of four. We can’t be too far behind! "
"I'll have someone check it out. We can't treat them unfairly. They are all good soldiers!"
"Military training cannot be relaxed, and combat effectiveness must be maintained. It cannot deteriorate just because conditions have improved. For soldiers, combat effectiveness is the foundation."
"Yes!"
.......
Cao Dongfang feels like he has too much to do. He has been here for a week and there is always something to do every day.
It takes too long to read the documents, from equipment to training, to disarmament and reduction of reserve personnel.
From work to life, I feel like I have to take care of everything. There are staff departments and logistics departments, why should I take care of everything?
"Tongzi, I want to ask you something!" Cao Dongfang asked the system he hadn't contacted for a long time.
"Master, what's the matter!"
"When I enter the middle stage of 'Heavenly Realm', does my spiritual awareness increase from 100 million to 999 million square kilometers?" Cao Dongfang asked.
“Yes!” The system’s answer was simple.
"Can I directly advance to the peak of the intermediate stage, with a spiritual awareness of 999 million square kilometers?"
"Theoretically, no. If the owner needs it... he has to pay more!" the system replied.
Damn it, I’m asking for money again.
“How much do you need!”
"One trillion Eagle Sauce coins!"
"You are robbing money. It's only 100 billion in the mid-term, and it will be 1 trillion at the mid-term peak." Cao Dongfang was angry.
“Master, you didn’t advance on your own, this system has to work hard, and it requires a lot of energy.
And the master forgot something, you should change the currency and the exchange rate. "The system has its reasons.
"Damn! I forgot another important thing. The exchange rate was different before and it is different now. If I don't change it, I will lose a lot! Tongzi, what is the exchange rate between the two countries now!" Cao Dongfang asked.
“The actual exchange rate is 1:2.7, the official exchange rate is 1:2, the system uses the official exchange rate!”
"I understand. I have to change it. I have suffered a huge loss. Will the time for my upgrade be greatly advanced in the future?" Cao Dongfang asked.
"Yes, mainly because the owner got a lot of money, and the system reward also increased from one trillion Eagle Sauce coins to one trillion Chinese Yuan!"
"It doesn't matter. I earn 1.7 trillion Eagle Sauce Dollars a year, which is more than 1 trillion. You have to give to gain. Moreover, if our exchange rate drops further, our annual income will be even higher!"
"Master, I hope you understand!"
"System, what conditions do I need to advance to the mid-term peak?"
"Three hours, the Spiritual Cave Heaven needs to be used, no one will disturb you, and the system will handle everything else!"
"I see. Can I get promoted in the 'virtual world' tonight?"
"Yes, with the system and the spiritual cave, there is no need for an external environment. This is just a small improvement!"
"That's fine! Promotion tonight!"
