Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1132

[Chapter 757]

Chapter 757: The New Year’s Treasury has a lot of money. The day after

Li Longji returned to the capital, he held a large court meeting. All five-rank officials who served in the capital would stand in line at the Hanyuan Palace.

The light snow was still drifting, but there was no snow under the steps of Hanyuan Hall. The snow that had fallen before had been cleaned up long ago, and hot water pipes, that is, geothermal heat, were laid underneath, which was considered a welfare for officials.

The officials have been very busy recently. There are many things to do at the end of the year. After this period of time, the annual leave will be a few days later, and you can have a good year with your family.

The busiest person in the crowd was Wang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Housing, who was standing in front of him. For the past two weeks, he had worked six days of night shifts in the Ministry of Household.

People have lost a few pounds, but they are in good spirits and rich. Except for the last month, which needs to be calculated in January next year, the tax data for the previous year has been sorted out.

“Wang Qing, can the taxation for the eleven months of this year be counted?” Li Longji arrived at the Hanyuan Palace, and just sat down, he couldn’t wait to ask about the money.

Wang Yan glanced at Zhang Zhong next to him and was in a good mood. He thought that His Majesty would first ask about the situation of the Ministry of Industry, but he did not want to ask about his own Ministry of Household. Money is really important.

Zhang Zhong and Yu Guang glanced at Wang Xun and ignored him. Money, that’s what it is, don’t mention money to me, it’s pointless.

Wang Yan obviously felt Zhang Zhong’s contempt, and he cursed in secret, ‘Tomorrow, your family’s business will be completely lost’ before stepping out of the queue.

He also held a wat board in his hand, which was different from the original long strip, but one foot long and wide, with a clip at one end, and a small slot on the far right, in which a pencil was stuck. There is a piece of eraser hanging under the pencil, and the eraser is ready when the rubber is transported back. On the top of the wat board is a piece of paper, which is actually a clip board for office use. It keeps pace with the times, and it was inconvenient in the past.

“Go back to Your Majesty, according to my department’s statistics, the total amount of taxes collected in the first November of this year is 311,669,622 and 400 yuan, and the expenditure in the first November is 100 million. There are more than 6 million coins, and as of yesterday, there are 367,792,150 coins and 316 coins in the treasury.

” It’s what he earned.

The eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty lit up, and Wang Hao glanced at Zhang Zhong proudly. He could estimate the income of the Zhang and Wang family for a year. Unless the other party evaded tax, it would be clear as soon as the tax was paid.

The sales income of Zhang Wang’s family this year is more than 4 million yuan less than last year. The only thing that cannot be calculated is the baby candy shop,

which is a tax-free industry. The other thing that cannot be calculated is the income of Datang Bank, which is Your Majesty has all the tax returns, but the tax returns are inaccurate, so the difference in interest rates when the reporting loss and the payment cycle are different should be subtracted.

Obviously, Zhong Zuo’s hands and feet will not be less, and it is still instructed by His Majesty. How can the emperor’s money let people find out how much?

In addition, the money spent in many aspects cannot be accounted for, such as espionage expenses, which official is qualified to know how much the emperor’s espionage system costs?

It is estimated that the Zhang Wang family has the same concealment, but it is the same as His Majesty’s, and it cannot be traced, because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have sent a lot of intelligence personnel to go abroad, and all kinds of obscure flowers cannot be missed.

But in any case, the normal billing is indeed less than last year, but I haven’t found the time to check why it is less.

Zhang Zhong still ignored it. He could guess what Wang Yan was thinking. Isn’t it because his income is less today? That’s right. Otherwise, Datang’s money won’t be that much, and part of the family’s money is for private military expansion. Now, especially in terms of weapons, both the improvement and the ammunition consumed are money. After all, there is a war, so reserve more.

Li Longji, who was sitting above, was not too far away. He saw Wang Yan’s small movements, but he didn’t care, mainly because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t care.

“Okay, I will be able to do a lot of things again next year. Each department will make a budget for the work and allocate money after reviewing it.” Li Longji, who was in a good mood, began to send money.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know about something, why did I pay more than twice as much as last year’s taxes this year?” A former border guard who was promoted last month because of the military sand table assessment was excellent. Courage stood up and asked.

A few days ago, he heard someone say that last year’s financial income was 130 million yuan. He understood a little bit, and knew that suddenly more money could easily lead to the situation that the money was worthless. For the sake of his brothers in the army, he would also ask.

When the words came out, he found that the entire Hanyuan Hall was silent, and he couldn’t help but worry even more.

After a while, Li Longji looked at the courtier below, sighed softly, turned on the microphone, and said to Zhang Jiuling, “Zhang Qing, tell me.”

Zhang Jiuling’s expression was very unnatural. His family was in Guangzhou at that time, where plums were grown. Vegetables, there are people in the family who follow them to do business. The officials still have the income from the land as a salary for the first half year. Now he has handed over the land. Naturally, there is no excuse for his own production and sales, but the family business has not stopped, and he is still selling plum vegetables. Make a lot of money.

When His Majesty called the name, Zhang Jiuling had no choice but to stand up and look at the faces of the other ministers.

“Yang Zuo Fengchen, this matter is easy to say.” Zhang Jiuling said loudly to the inquiring military attache. This person’s surname is Yang, and he is Zuo Fengchen’s guard. He used to be the Qianniu Mansion. The power of this official became very small for a while. , Now due to the change of the military service system and the rise of Datang’s economic strength, more force is needed to maintain it, which has increased the power of this department.

The military attache surnamed Yang remained silent and continued to listen.

“Listen to me one by one.” Zhang Jiuling took a deep breath and organized the language: “Last year, I set a low tax collection rate, and officials’ salaries were mostly produced from fields and acres. This year, His Majesty is wise and went out to inspect local land construction. On the way, I heard a comment from an official, so I made changes to the way of taxation and official salaries.

Taxes have been increased by nearly five times in the commercial area. There are not many people who voluntarily pay taxes during the trial period. The consumption also promotes the circulation of materials and forms a part of the tax revenue. Therefore, I have more fiscal revenue, and it may be doubled next year.

In addition, after years of hard work, Si Nong Temple distributed a large amount of crop seeds this spring, and the yield per mu has increased significantly. There is no major incident in the surrounding area this year, the people live in peace, and the output of livestock has also increased.

Zhang Jiuling reluctantly finished speaking and kept wiping away his sweat.

The

surnamed Yang raised his head, rolled his eyes, pondered, nodded, and admitted that doing so would increase the tax revenue. When all the businessmen in Datang agreed, doubling it would not be a problem.

“Oh, I see, I just don’t know which capable officer it is?

Can it be rejected in the DPRK-China resolution?

What if I go on a business trip?

“The person surnamed Yang is more serious. Who dares to directly influence His Majesty’s decision-making on state affairs?

Zhang Jiuling stared: “General Yang, who are you talking about?”

”

“Oh, Ben, this official is not too clear, just don’t ask, the person who came up with this strategy is really capable, Your Majesty Shengming.

“The person surnamed Yang guessed who it was after just a few breaths. His confidence was obviously insufficient.

You are afraid of the contempt of all the ministers?

Li Longji didn’t mention the names of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, anyway. Who can easily influence Datang’s decision-making.

“The next issue.

“Li Longji leaned back and waited.

There were too many taxes, and he felt uncomfortable. He was the benefit of the exchange. The railways in various parts of the country have not been fully connected, and all the trains have not been delivered to the place. The steam engine The wagons were distributed early, and the salaries of officials were more than twice as high as the income given to the fields now.

‘If Xiaobao’s calculations were not astonishing, new changes would be made in railway transportation in the future, and the land would be more valuable. , This time, the anger has also made me mad.’

Li Longji thought, and his eyes on the officials of the Manchu Dynasty became unkind. How many officials did not have private property? When talking about disaster relief, no one was willing to pay and invest in shares. When the Ministry of Industry started a new industry, there was money. Especially after the officials who carried the investment on the tractor passed through the streets of the capital, there were more officials willing to pay.

According to Xiaobao’s words, it’s too ugly to eat. Usually, it’s fine to put on a hundred or so clothes. If you bully me, I can’t do you.

When Li Longji was considering revenge on the officials, the issues of the court were discussed one after another, and there was hardly any obstacle. The treasury became rich, and many issues eventually pointed to money.

The wealthy Li Longji believes that problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

When it was almost noon, after what others said was almost the same, Li Longji discovered one thing. No one mentioned the infrastructure construction of Datang. There are ways for railways, but what about highways?

It is not a good thing to have too much spare money in the national inventory, and it will depreciate.

So he looked at Zhang Zhong: “Does Zhang Qing have any issues with the Ministry of Industry?”

Zhang Zhong shook his head: “Go back to your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is not short of money now, and the Ministry of Industry has produced many new chemical products. Apart from research expenses, there is a slight surplus. Such as soap, toothpaste, fertilizers, kerosene lamps, they all sell well, as well as candles and rubber-soled shoes.”

Zhang Zhong finally looked at Wang Yan as he spoke .

He got stuck so badly that his son and daughter-in-law got angry, and later took revenge on each other.

According to my son, our technology is not good, we can only use soil methods for production, which wastes a lot of resources and causes serious pollution. However, special treatment is required in special times.

Wang Yan looked down at the folder, UU was very engaged in reading www.sonicmtl.com, and he didn’t know what good stories were written on it.

“What about the road infrastructure?” Li Longji ignored the battle between the courtiers and asked what he wanted to know the most.

“The minister of the road will wait for officials from all over the world to report. After the report is completed, the minister can go to the Ministry of Household to withdraw the account, which will be reviewed by the Ministry of Household, and then allocated through the Datang Qianzhuang.” Zhang Zhong answered truthfully.

Li Longji nodded, yes, the money needs to be paid by the Ministry of Household, or by himself or the Central Secretary, saying that the Ministry of Industry should be in charge, but the Ministry of Industry has no real power in local infrastructure construction, the Ministry of Household can bypass the Ministry of Construction and directly talk to local officials As for the payment, of course, the Ministry of Work can now bypass the Ministry of Accounts and directly allocate funds to the local fortification management department, because the Ministry of Work itself has money, but Zhang Zhong does not allocate it.

Li Longji’s expression became serious, and he said to Wang Yan, “Next year should be a special year for transportation. I don’t want key materials to be blocked because of money.

” Zhong, the other party is too immoral, so he pointed out himself and asked His Majesty to warn him.
