When everyone returned to the cabin, Zhao Hao first asked about the situation in Qiongzhou, and Ying Jieyan answered them one by one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they received the edict of the dynasty to move Qiong immediately began to prepare to welcome the car, Deng Guangjian arrived first and then made clear the details, everything was arranged, the queen mother has been in the palace in the city, the officials temporarily live in the yamen of the division, and the wounded are also properly arranged for diagnosis and treatment. All units were also stationed in military camps near Qiongzhou, awaiting further resettlement. The people who accompanied the army were also dispatched to various states and counties, and everything was smooth and there were no major mistakes.

He also said that in accordance with His Majesty's deployment before leaving, Qiongzhou has now reclaimed 300,000 mu of wasteland, resettled more than 20,000 displaced people, and produced about 600,000 stone of grain every quarter and 600,000 stone for two seasons. In addition, the mining of iron ore has also entered the stage of large-scale mining, last year a total of 200,000 catties of pig iron were smelted, half of which was used for people's livelihood and half for military supplies; In addition, the post roads around the island have been widened, and most sections of the road can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and the post houses along the way have been put into use to receive business travelers and officials.

In addition, last year, the total revenue of the two taxes was 200,000 yuan, the commercial tax was about 100,000 yuan, and the tariff rate increased to 150,000 yuan. Therefore, the increase in commercial taxes is obvious, while the increase in tariffs is not large. Merchant ships have already called at the beginning of the monsoon this year, and revenues are expected to be better than last year.

"Governor Ying, how much does Qiongzhou's military spending spend every year?" Lu Xiufu knew that Qiongzhou had always been so poor that it needed subsidies from the imperial court every year for not only grain, but also for public expenses, but now it was self-sufficient in food, with a slight surplus, and its tax revenue had increased a lot, but it was only less than 500,000 yuan. According to his estimates, it is far from enough to maintain the operation of the Shuaifu Army and the yamen at all levels in Qiongzhou, and they also opened iron mines and built post roads, which is unprecedented in the thousands of years since Qiongzhou was attached to the Central Plains, but where did the money come from, which made him very curious.

"The Qiongzhou Shuibu Army has 70,000 soldiers, and the annual military expenditure is more than two million!" Ying Jieyan replied.

"Oh, Qiongzhou's military spending is so high!" Lu Xiufu was surprised and said, according to common sense, the average number of soldiers raised by the imperial court was about 100 copper coins per person, while the Qiongzhou army had three times the average number, which had never reached this amount at the peak of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Lu Xiang also knows that when His Majesty led the people to Qiongzhou to open the mansion, there were only 100 broken ships, no more than 100 sets of iron armor in the whole army, and there was not enough swords and guns for one person. After arriving in Qiongzhou, everything needs to be rebuilt, and the warship costs a huge amount of money, and there are wars in Qiongzhou from time to time, and the soldiers train hard and do not fall. Therefore, in addition to salaries, military consumption is more. Ying Jieyan explained.

"What about the public expenses of the various offices in Qiongzhou?" Lu Xiufu nodded and asked again. He had seen the equipment of His Majesty's escort with his own eyes, and His Majesty also knew the miserable situation when Jiazi left, and it made sense that the military expenditure was higher.

"The public expenses of each government are about 200,000 yuan, which also includes the rice for the village officials and the money for officials at all levels." Ying Jieyan replied.

"The governor should be that the tax in Qiongzhou is only less than 500,000 yuan, and the difference in military spending alone is huge, and besides, it is necessary to pay the public expenses of the yamen at all levels, and the construction of coastal defense and the maintenance of post roads are expensive, so how can we make up for the shortage?" Lu Xiufu asked.

"Except for the capture of the previous battles, they are all from His Majesty's inner mansion!" Ying Jieyan replied crisply.

"Then ......" Lu Xiufu wanted to ask His Majesty where the money came from, but he immediately woke up to the law that the imperial court had already set a law, the emperor's family background was top secret, and no one was allowed to ask, and if anyone in the know leaked it, he would be killed, so he quickly stopped, but the eyes that looked at His Majesty were wrong. He thought that the little emperor was just thinking about the salt farm, but he didn't expect that he was still a good money boy, and he was already making money in Qiongzhou. And he can obviously make millions of dollars in the barren land of Qiongzhou, but he still has to share the wealth with himself, which is not only digging a pit, but also a pit man.

"Hehe, Your Majesty's family background has almost made the lower officials defeated, and you will have to worry about Lu Xiang in the future!" Seeing His Majesty sitting there gnawing his fingers and laughing with Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu, Lu Xiufu looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and he understood that his good apprentice must have calculated others again, so he hurriedly said haha.

"When someone Lu first arrived in Qiongzhou, everything was unfamiliar, and he still had to rely on Governor Ying's advice and advice!" No matter how stupid Lu Xiufu is, he knows that other people's masters and apprentices have one heart, and he makes it clear that he is covering for His Majesty again, and he must not be pitted by them again, and he must not take this stubble, and he arched his hand with a wry smile.

"The lower officials don't have the ability to make money, so they have to ask Your Majesty to find a way!" In fact, even Ying Jieyan couldn't know all the financial resources of the little emperor, counting that he obviously had no money, but when he was short of money, His Majesty either took money from the total division or moved money from the mansion, but he was sure that the money was definitely not easy to come by, otherwise he would not have sneaked around.

"Your Majesty gave me an idea at that time, but if you want to see results, you will have to get a new year, but the difficulties in front of you are not good!" Lu Xiufu whispered.

"Your Majesty, if your subordinates are able to hack Zhang Hongfan to death, the clothes and armor will fall into the hands of the Sprinkle family!" At this moment, Zhao Mengjin suddenly said loudly, and everyone looked over only to see him looking at the golden armor on Ni Liang's body with envy.

"Bragging, you, His Majesty Zhang Hongfan said that he was dead in a few words, do you have that ability? I took it from Zhang Hongzheng, but it was given to him by Kublai Khan, the head of the Tartars. Ni Liang pouted and said, he was also rare to be stunned.

"Your Majesty, it's too partial. Liu Shen's knife was given to him, and this Hongfan's armor was also given to him, but the Sprinkle family hadn't taken advantage of the knife yet. Zhao Mengjin shook his hand and complained.

"It's too rude!" Lu Xiufu frowned when he saw that Zhao Mengjin was 'rude' in front of His Majesty.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, they are all His Majesty's favorite generals, and they are martial artists, so it's casual if they haven't spoken for a long time." Wave your hand strictly.

"You think so too?" The two looked at the little emperor and really didn't think it was a pestle, but pointed at Liu Zhu and asked.

"Of course! It's just that His Majesty refuses to let his subordinates fight, otherwise it will ......" Liu Zhu replied immediately, looking at Ni Liang's eyes with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Look at your little bit of success, and wait for me to go back and see how your training is. If you practice well, I will take you away and make a fortune, not to mention that this is just gilded armor, and when the time comes, let Zhou Yi's kid create a red gold dress for you alone, I'm afraid you don't have that ability! Zhao Yu pouted and said.

"Your Majesty's words count?" Zhao Mengjin's eyes widened and he said excitedly...... (To be continued.) )
