Chapter 345 Add Money Lay Jia Xiao 3
Chapter 345
In the sixth year of Yuanyou, Daxia's annual income tax was converted into silver, and the total was about 600 million taels of silver.
Jia Cong used the outdated firearms retired from the army to earn nearly 700 million taels from the Japanese, which was almost one-fifth of the country's annual income.
Even if the cost is removed, according to the figures reported by the Ministry of Accounts, the net profit is as high as 500 million taels of silver...
And just now he listened to this kid, this business will continue soon.
Doesn't that mean that my household department is going to enter money again?
Hey!
That being said, being a warmonger seems pretty cool.
Liu Heng, the emperor, is a little different from the saint old man. He doesn't pay much attention to false fame, but has a strange obsession with money.
In his eyes, the court can do many things with money.Such as river control, disaster relief, construction of water conservancy, development of firearms...
As for fame...
What's the use of having the false name of a benevolent emperor?
"I remember Goryeo also intends to buy firearms, right?"
uh~
Jia Cong was a little embarrassed, but it wasn't that Goryeo didn't buy it...
"Your Majesty, they really want to buy it, but this Goryeo is too poor and doesn't have anything valuable, this..."
Liu Heng understood Jia Cong's meaning, Koryo is indeed a poor ghost, but Korean ginseng is a good thing.
No matter how good the women in Korea are, it's very difficult for those rough men in the army to marry a wife. Daxia doesn't lack anything now, only his mother's lack of people.
Fighting wars requires people, opening up wasteland and farming requires people...
"Sell him, if you don't have any money, you can exchange it with Korean ginseng, and what else... Come here, I have something secret to tell you."
Halfway through Liu Heng's words, he blushed in a rare way.When Jia Cong approached curiously, he whispered in his ear: "Although Koryo is small, it has a large population. Their own food is not enough, and the people often starve to death. The people of the vassal state are also my people... "
what?
Jia Cong's ears moved slightly, only to hear the emperor say solemnly: "You let people secretly contact the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, and let them use Korean girls of the right age... so so."
hiss!So you are such an emperor!
By God, it's so cool to meet such an emperor!
Jia Cong nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Liu Heng thought about it and patiently said: "You need to find a suitable person to handle this matter. Remember, this person has nothing to do with you or Rongguo Mansion. Let him To buy people with silver, and then to earn the silver back with firearms..."
Understood, Mr. Cong is innocent, the money earned by the Ministry of Industry is clean, the Daxia court is just, and has nothing to do with human trafficking.
As for why Goryeo women appeared in Daxia, the righteous Daxia court discovered the evil of abduction and rescued the abducted Goryeo women.
Then the emperor, Enze, couldn't bear the suffering of the people, and allowed him to marry, making him a happy common people in Daxia.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Jia Cong had already made a complete plan in his mind.
Regarding the "abduction and trafficking" of Korean women, the monarch and his ministers did not feel the slightest sense of guilt.
Given the level of food shortage in Korea and the low status of women in the country, a lot of them would starve to death when there was a shortage of food in winter.
If I can come to Daxia, I don't need to be tied up, and I will board the boat happily.At that time, as long as the right people are arranged to handle the matter, this is simply a great good deed.
"As for the people your father wants, you can also let Goryeo and Japanese people act as pioneers. You can discuss by yourself, as many as you can hire, and if there are not enough, you can recruit them from various guards."
Liu Heng felt more and more the inconvenience caused by the underpopulation. There was not enough food in the past, but now there are not enough people to eat.Damn, it's inconvenient to do anything when there are fewer people.
He swears several times in his heart, he has a headache!
"Come here, the people from the Chuan cabinet, the six ministries and the five temple entourages come here."
……
When Jia Cong walked out of the imperial tent, it was completely dark, and several figures walked towards him, they were the summoned officials from the cabinet and the six ministries and five temples.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jia Cong didn't linger, and walked happily to his tent.
After a good night's sleep, early the next morning, Jia Cong sent his own soldiers back to Beijing to pass a message, asking the chief officer of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau to come to Iron Net Mountain to discuss matters.
After finishing breakfast with his family, he changed into official robes and came to the imperial tent. The civil and military officials who followed him were already waiting to be summoned.
As the cabinet minister of the retinue, Xia Lingxing, the second assistant of the cabinet, was discussing something in a low voice with the officials of the six departments and five temples.
Jia Cong squeezed over curiously, just in time to hear Shen Zhui, the right servant of the household department, say: "It is a good thing to encourage the people to have children, but according to your majesty's idea, the pressure on the household department is too great..."
"Master Shen, what is His Majesty thinking?"
"Oh? So it's Uncle Yongfeng..."
Shen Zhui pulled Jia Cong into the crowd, and asked dumbfoundedly: "What did Uncle Yongfeng say to His Majesty yesterday? Why did His Majesty summon us suddenly, saying that he would encourage the common people to have children, and that he planned to spread the word? Order all directions, give birth to three children, exempt one person from land tax, small tax, etc..."
Jia Cong was also dumbfounded. When he left the account last night, he thought that the emperor was planning to discuss a two-day grand ceremony with his ministers, but he didn't expect it to be a discussion about encouraging births.
Good idea, but too rough a plan.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Jia Cong shook his head: "I didn't say anything, I guess I was worried about the lack of people everywhere. You adults also know that there is nothing lacking in the country now, except people."
Shen Zhui said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty also knows that your Majesty's encouragement of childbearing is indeed a problem for the lack of people in the country, but the Ministry of Households only cares about the family. According to the method His Majesty said, I am afraid that the Ministry of Households will be poor again in a few years." It can starve mice to death."
"Your Majesty Shen, don't worry about money and food. The country will soon have no shortage of money and food. Maybe in a few years, Daxia won't even have to collect food tax, but instead can subsidize the people who cultivate the land."
Jia Cong showed his white teeth and grinned.Everyone was shocked by Jia Cong's shocking remarks, and some people began to slander in their hearts. Although they didn't say it on the surface, they couldn't hide the look in their eyes that looked foolish.
The imperial grain country has collected taxes for thousands of years, and I have never heard of any dynasty or generation that does not collect grain taxes.If there is no grain tax, where does the court get the money and grain?
Jia Cong glanced at the few officials who were obviously sarcastic, and turned to ask Shen Zhui: "Master Shen has been in the household department for several years, so he should be very familiar with the income of the household department over the years. The first year of Yuanyou and last year's Tian Fu What is the change in the proportion of the total revenue?"
Shen Zhui replied subconsciously: "Yuanyouyuan's annual income is equivalent to 1706 million taels of silver, and a total of 670 million shi of land tax has been collected, which is equivalent to more than 700 million taels of silver. Last year, the total annual income was 720 million Two, the land tax totals 580 million shi of grain, which is equivalent to about 600 million yuan in silver... Hiss! I understand, it is salt tax and commercial tax..."
"Droughts and floods continued in various places last year, and the imperial court waived a lot of land taxes, but the imperial court's annual revenue has not decreased but increased. Your lords have not seen such a big change? After two years of trying to open the sea, the Shibosi went to the Ministry of Households just last year. A commercial tax of 800 million taels was given away. In addition to the salt tax and commercial taxes from various places, it is enough to make up for the lack of land tax.”
Jia Cong glanced at the official who wanted to laugh at him just now, and said with a smile: "This is just the beginning. When the Shibo Division expands, the revenue of the Shibu Division alone will be enough to support half of the country's expenditure. .Some people only know how to stare at the little money in the hands of the common people, and they are really useless!"
"It's because the lower officials have little knowledge. Thank you, Uncle Yongfeng, for your guidance!"
Shen Zhui was stunned, and suddenly bowed to Jia Cong, which surprised Jia Cong.
"Hey, hey, hey... don't, you and my uncle are of the same generation, so your life will be shortened!"
Jia Cong jumped aside, avoiding Shen Zhui's salute, helped him up and said, "Master Shen, in fact, as long as the imperial court does a good job of opening the sea, it is possible for the annual income to exceed [-] million..."
"Cough cough, Your Majesty has sent an order to all the adults to discuss matters."
Xia Shouzhong's sudden appearance interrupted the discussion outside the imperial account, Jia Cong bowed his hands to the few people, returned to the rank of generals and stood in line, and entered the account.
The policy of encouraging births has not yet been discussed, so naturally it will not be mentioned in the imperial account discussion this morning.
Today is mainly to discuss the summoning of the feudal clans and generals from the Nine Frontiers, and the imperial conferment of Yilan in the future.
Jia Cong didn't have much interest in these things, and he was thinking about how to lure people from Goryeo and Wa to South Vietnam to serve as cannon fodder for Grand Master She.
How about letting people contact the envoys of Goryeo and Wa kingdoms first?
After the routine discussion of the imperial account was over, Jia Cong saw that the emperor had no intention of leaving him to cook, so he walked out of the imperial account leisurely.
Jia Cong went to the camp of the Ministry of Rites, and told Nie Chaoyi, the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites, about his plan, and asked him to have a heart-to-heart talk with people from both sides.
Afterwards, he became a hands-off shopkeeper, took his sisters and sisters on horseback to enjoy the autumn, and played beautifully for two days.
On October [-]th, the temperature suddenly turned cold last night. The autumn of the seventh year of Yuanyou officially came to an end, and the Northland finally looked like early winter.
Mrs. Xing personally watched the girls put on woolen sweaters, and even Jia Cong was forced to put on one.
It's been a long time since I felt the warmth of a woolen sweater, but the neck is a little prickly.
After Jia Cong came to the university field, he stood at the forefront of the generals' ranks and scratched...
"Huh? Boy Cong, what is this?"
Ji Wang Liu Huai stretched out his hand and tugged Jia Cong's exposed sweater collar, and suddenly became interested.
Good stuff, it looks fluffy and must be warm.
Jia Cong hurriedly bowed and said: "Greetings to Uncle King Ji. Go back to Uncle. This is a woolen sweater. The new cold clothes from the Ministry of Industry have not yet been mass-produced. This is also an experimental product for my nephew. In a few days, the nephew and grandson will be sent to you by the people from the Ministry of Industry."
"Wool sweaters? Warm clothes?"
Clan Wu Xun from the left and right squeezed over one after another, and began to pick off Raja Cong's clothes one by one.
Most of these people are Jia Cong's grandparents and uncles, and Jia Cong, who has made a fuss, can't say anything, so he can only be "ravaged" by them.
After everyone had finished their hand addiction, Jia Cong tidied up his clothes dumbfounded.
Zhongshun Wang Liu Ke patted Jia Cong on the shoulder, said with a smile: "This is much warmer than a brocade hat and sable fur, and it is also convenient to wear. Jia Xiaosan, you can't treat one more favorably than the other, and I also sent ten pieces to this king. pieces."
While arranging his robe, Jia Cong raised his head and grinned.
"Master Thirteen, the Ministry of Industry not only has woolen sweaters, but also the latest woolen coats. They not only keep you warm, but also make you look more handsome. They are most suitable for handsome men like Master Thirteen."
The three words "beautiful man" made Liu Ke's eyes light up: "Really? Is there such a good thing?"
"Exactly!"
Jia Cong glanced at Yi Lan who was looking at this side, and smiled slightly: "However, the looms for weaving woolen sweaters and woolen coats were made by the Ministry of Industry with a lot of money. Clothes are fine, Thirteen Lord, you need to pay more!"
