"Guangfeng County has always been the fastest growing county among the seven counties, but not long ago, Guangfeng County guarded Zhang Lou's book department, saying that Guangfeng County has reached a bottleneck, and the land that can be opened has been opened, and if it continues to open, it needs to repair the canal!" Jarrow reported with a calm demeanor.

The wasteland that can be opened is generally next to rivers and streams, and the people can take their water sources to irrigate the fields, and some sections are located between the mountains and forests, and the water is completely dependent on God's rainfall.

The importance of the canal is self-evident, if Shangyang County has a certain population base, then the new fertile land in Shangyang County will quickly surpass the other six counties, until every inch of land in Shangyang County is utilized, this is the role of the canal, everywhere is a source of water, everywhere can be opened up fertile land.

Ying Chang glanced around at the six of them, and said in a cold tone: "How did you reply to Zhang Lou?" ”

When the words fell, Chang Zifei stood out of the queue, bent down his thin body with a respectful expression, raised his hand and saluted back: "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a water conservancy plan for Guangfeng County!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has done a good job in the water conservancy plan of Guangfeng County, and the budget has been submitted to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Jiang Haiyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, then stood up and replied.

Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction, "I know, Jia Aiqing continue!" ”

"Yes!" Jia Luo responded, and Chang Zifei and Jiang Haiyou returned to the queue.

"During the thirteenth year of the Holy Qin, the financial revenue of the Great Qin broke the record again, according to the repeated calculations of the household department, the grain tax in the thirteenth year of the Holy Qin was 17 million stones, and it was another year of great abundance, which was four million stones more than the twelfth year of the Holy Qin!"

"The salt tax is four million taels, which is five hundred thousand taels more than in the twelfth year of the Holy Qin, the commercial tax is seven million taels, one million taels more than last year, and the tariff is five million taels of silver, one million taels more than the twelfth year of the Holy Qin!"

"The total tax revenue of the thirteenth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty is 17 million stones for grain and 16 million taels for silver, plus this year's fiscal revenue, the treasury now has 42.5 million stones, 57 million taels of silver, and 500,000 taels of gold!" Jarrow said with a slight smile on his face.

In recent years, the Great Qin Empire has developed rapidly, and the financial revenue has been higher and higher year by year, making him a happy household secretary, like a spring breeze, according to this momentum, as long as the people who sit in the court are not extravagant and wasteful, Great Qin does not have to worry about the financial deficit at all!

After hearing this, Ying Chang couldn't laugh, and his expression was still slightly dignified, which made Chang Zifei and the others puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the financial revenue has reached a new high, why does Your Majesty not like it?" Jarrow asked, puzzled.

Ying Chang frowned slightly, and said in a tone that was not light or serious: "If I remember correctly, the grain in the twelfth year of Saint Qin is 7.2 million stones more than in the eleventh year of Saint Qin, which is more than doubled, the grain tax in the twelfth year of Saint Qin is 1.5 million taels more than in the eleventh year of Saint Qin, the commercial tax is 2.6 million taels more than in the eleventh year of Saint Qin, which is nearly doubled, and the tariff is also 1.4 million taels of silver more than in the eleventh year of Saint Qin, and the fiscal revenue has risen significantly!" ”

"And the thirteenth year of the Holy Qin compared with the twelfth year of the Holy Qin, the increase in financial revenue is not large, this kind of shows that my Great Qin has entered the bottleneck stage, so, how happy am I? How do you like it? Could it be that my Great Qin is so complacent and self-sufficient? ”

"This...."

The six ministers fell silent, and the smile on Jarrow's face gradually froze, and when he heard this, he couldn't laugh anymore, and he couldn't be happy.

"That's it!" Ying Chang waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "It's better to leave this matter to talk about at the reception banquet tonight, Jia Aiqing continued!" ”

"All the ministers should have reported it!" Jarrow bent down and replied, automatically returning to the queue.

"Next!"

Chang Zifei stood out of the queue again and bent down to make a report: "Back to Your Majesty, during the thirteenth year of the Holy Qin, the financial expenditure of Great Qin was 18 million taels of silver, 10.5 million stone of grain, and the budget was never exceeded, and now the treasury has 42.5 million stone of grain, 57 million taels of silver, and 500,000 taels of gold!" ”

"As for this year's budget, the minister is still uncertain, the reason is that His Majesty has conquered the Northwest Desert in a short period of time, and the minister does not know what policy His Majesty should use to rectify the Northwest Desert.

The Northwest Desert is vast and boundless, and there are a large number of Xiongnu, how should these Xiongnu be disposed of, how to rectify the Northwest Desert, Yingchang has not yet been informed, until now, the imperial court has not had a detailed plan, and he has not seen the list of casualties of the border soldiers.

There is no detailed disposal and remediation plan, and there is no casualty list, so Chang Zifei cannot calculate the budget to be spent this year.

"The list of casualties of the border pass soldiers, I will ask General Zhaolie to give you a list of casualties of the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and when the hussar general returns to Xianyang, he will give it to you, as for the detailed plan of the Northwest Desert, I will discuss it with the courtiers at the reception banquet!" Ying Chang said calmly.

The Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition are over, and the next thing is to digest the aftermath.

"How many reserve officers are there now?" Ying Chang then asked.

Before the imperial expedition, he had said that he would hold the imperial examination, train officials, and prepare for the governance of the desert, but now two years and four months have passed, and I don't know how the training is.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-eight, these officials are studying in the government offices of Shangyang County, and they already have a certain ability to deal with government affairs!" Chang Zifei quickly replied.

Yingchang nodded, "I know, next!" ”

Chang Zifei retreated to the station, and Jiang Haiyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood in line, and bent down respectfully to make a report: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, the Ministry of Industry has built a total of ten county roads, with a total length of thousands of miles, and the official roads within 100 miles of Xianyang City are all wide and flat county roads!" ”

"Due to the lack of manpower, the budget is not much, the Ministry of Industry can only repair the county road near Xianyang City, if you want to make the official roads of Shangyang County into county roads, you need a lot of silver, at present, the Ministry of Industry has stopped all the projects, is preparing for Guangfeng County to repair water conservancy projects!"

"The county road is well repaired, my army is stepping on it together, and there is no damage, Jiang Aiqing has worked hard!" Yingchang did not hesitate to praise, this county road is indeed very well repaired, the road is flat and wide, 26,000 cavalry trampled together, no damage, all the way, there is no low-lying water, the willow trees on both sides of the road, let Yingchang see a little modern road!

If the stone bricks of the pavement are replaced with cement, it is really a modern main road.
