Gong Yuwu saw his father asking himself again, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still replied truthfully: "It's not like that." What I just talked about is our gains and losses this time. I haven't counted the income in our territory here. As he spoke, he paused, took a sip of the cup containing the juice in front of him and moistened his throat, then stood up again and looked at everyone present and said loudly: "Now our Zhou Wangfu territory, a total of eleven prefectures, the four prefectures of Xizhou and the four prefectures of the southwest are newly annexed, so they are not counted in this year-end statistics. Only the taxes of the three northwestern provinces and the income from other royal investments are calculated. It should also be noted here that the tax revenue belongs to the government under the jurisdiction of the royal government, which is equivalent to the national treasury. The income from the investment of the royal palace belongs to the inner treasury of my father's royal palace. Not counting the last month of this year, the three northwestern provinces have a total of 2,327,196 taels and five cents of silver in revenue, taxes, and grain. Of these, 548,367 stone was grain, and the rest was collected from the silver tax. ”

"Commissioner, in this way, a large part of our income is silver income, and the proportion of food income is not large." The question was asked by Cao Liang, who is now the acting general manager of the four prefectures of Xizhou.

"Well, in general, there is more money and less food. But I'm only in charge of income and audits, don't ask me anything else. After speaking, Gong Yu Mai turned around and sat down. It looks like no one is close, and it's very funny. Cao Liang naturally wouldn't bother with a girl like her.

At this time, Feng Huaidao coughed and opened his mouth to explain Cao Liang's doubts.

"Lord Cao, and everyone here. The old man will explain the problem just now. Now the three provinces in the northwest have been under the rule of the prince for more than a year, and the grain has experienced three harvests. It has always been increasing unabated, which is also the reason why the prince and the adults have good governance, coupled with the smooth wind and rain, and the stability of the territory. Nowadays, the most important tax revenue in our three provinces does not come from the grain tax paid by the people, but the income from industrial and commercial trade. For example, the mines of Jiazhou Mansion, the main large mines are under the rule of the Wangfu, and the smaller ones are released to those businessmen to mine independently, but whether it is a government mine or a private mine, it must pay taxes according to the regulations, this piece alone has nearly one million taels this year, and now the commercial tax is also a large piece, but it is mainly concentrated in Linshui County several county governments along the river, in addition, the cement and brick sales in Dingxi County are also relatively good, and this year's income is also considerable. You may wish to listen to the little county lord to continue. ”

"Oh!" After listening to Feng Huaidao's explanation, everyone also understood. So everyone's eyes were focused on Gong Yu Wu again. Now the little girl looked a little arrogant, raised her head slightly, pursed her lips and continued: "What I just said was about taxes. The following is the income of the government's industry. This year, the total income of the official property under the administration of the royal palace was 4,915,744 taels of silver. ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned. In fact, the income of government property is higher than the tax revenue, and it is almost doubled.

But Gongyu Wu didn't care too much, but turned his head to look at Gongsun Jian, and asked in a low voice: "Daddy, do you also have to report the income of our palace?" That's our own income. ”

Gongsun Jian laughed and asked jokingly, "Do we have a lot of income?" ”

"Hmm!" Gong Yu Wu nodded seriously.

"Hahaha, then you might as well report it to everyone."

"Oh." Although Gong Yuwu nodded a little unwillingly, he did not disobey Gongsun Jian's words, but his voice was much quieter and continued: "The income of the palace this year is six million one hundred and fifty-nine thousand four hundred and sixty-three taels of silver. These are all discounted income, because some of the mountains, forests, and fields are handed over in kind. ”

"What?" At this time, even Gongsun Jian, who didn't care about it, was taken aback. Not to mention the officials sitting below.

"How can there be so many?" Gongsun Jian asked with some confusion.

Gong Yu Wu put down the account book in his hand and watched Gongsun Jian stretch out his little hand and count it with his fingers.

"The steel plant is our own, except for us, the six uncles of Ma Qiding, Wei Xie Feng, and Liu Zhifu all have some shares. This is a very profitable business, just this year's production of ordinary steel ingots there are more than 200,000 catties, according to the shipment price of four taels of silver per catty, this piece alone is nearly one million taels, in addition to Jiazhou has our own iron ore mine, so the ore imported from the southwest is a lot less, and the cost is reduced by a large piece. In addition, the largest coal mine and copper mine in Jiazhou are also our own. The government basically uses copper produced by our family to mint money, which is almost 1.5 million taels. There is also salt monopolized by our family and the Cao family, and this piece is the most, more than two million taels. There are also cement factories and large mountains and forests in Hezhou Mansion, which are also our family's, and they add up to so much. This does not include the income of the store in which Nannan herself and Aunt Wan'er's sister Fanglan are jointly owned. ”

"And how much did your little shop make this year?" Gongsun Jian asked with interest with a smile.

"It's not much, it's only more than 300,000 taels."

I'll go! Gongsun Jian and the people below almost didn't vomit blood, not much? Only more than 300,000 taels? You're just a little shop selling rouge gouache!

Without waiting for Gongsun Jian to ask again, Gongyu Wu hurriedly continued: "But don't look at the income of our government and the palace, but it also spends a lot." This year, the expenditure on military procurement and military salaries alone exceeded 5 million taels of silver, and in addition to the expenditure of personnel and salaries of the local government and the free education and public health supported by the government after the implementation of the new policy, a total expenditure of more than 7 million taels was spent. In other words, until now, after all the overhead is removed, we are actually negative. Of course, we still have a lot of food and real estate, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings that have not been sold. ”

Now Gongsun Jian figured it out, and Bai was happy and surprised just now. It means that the current government of his own palace and the government in the entire jurisdiction is still in deficit. But if you do the math, there is also a surplus, that is, the grain and the unsold property, and so on.

But this is not the end, so I listened to Gong Yuwu continue: "As I said just now, the new soldiers have not yet paid the settling-in allowance, but we don't have so much money at the moment. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Jian couldn't help frowning. Feelings are earned and spent!

At this time, Feng Huaidao stood up. still coughed first, and then bowed slightly to Gongsun Jian and said: "Lord, what the little county lord said is only the numbers on the books, and this is not the case in practice." At the beginning, the subordinates considered that such problems might arise, so when they allocated funds to various places, part of them was offset by grain and other kinds of materials. For example, in the area of free education, taking into account the problem of students' daily food at noon in the school, we did not directly allocate money to various localities, but paid the corresponding food according to the number of students enrolled in the statistics, and the same is true for building schools and hospitals. This not only makes it convenient for them, but also saves us money. In addition, the equipment of the army is ordered from the steel plant, which is equivalent to changing the left hand for the right hand, but these are all ......"

Gongsun Jian interrupted Feng Huaidao's words with a wave of his hand, he already understood what the other party meant. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the people present and said, "Counselor Feng, from now on, the industries under the name of this king, the steel mills, cement factories and mines will all be owned by the government. However, the king also needs to eat, and these industries were given to the government, but technically, they were all provided by the king, and they were also founded by the king with money, and there are also old horses and old Qi, and they also have shares, so let's do it. Ten percent of our annual income can be given to us. As he spoke, he focused his gaze on Ma Teng, Qi and Shi Ding.

"What do you guys think?"

"The subordinates have no opinion. Why do you want so much money? Now our net worth is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime. Ding Feng was the first to speak, and several other people also echoed.

"Actually, it's all the same. It's back to you, the prince, and in the end, not all of them were taken out to supplement the officials. However, it is more convenient to give it directly to the government, anyway, my Lao Liu has no opinion. Now my daughter and the county lord have made a few small shops that are enough to support my family. Liu Dayuan also said with great interest.

"Hush. Lao Liu, then your daughter will get married in the future. If you don't, you won't have anyone to raise. Qi Shi and Liu Dayuan were joking.

"Then I don't have any more money, and besides, I have two sons. Why is there no one to raise it. Besides, if you get married, it's also my daughter. I really don't have any money to cry on her door, and she dares not to give me a few dollars to spend? ”

Liu Dayuan's words made everyone laugh. After everyone finished laughing, Gongsun Jian finally closed the coffin and said, "That's okay, just do what I just said." All the properties of those royal palaces were transferred to the local government. One percent of the annual profit can be handed over to the royal government. The shares of several other people were then distributed from me on a pro-rata basis. Okay, let's talk about financial problems here, if you are not clear or have questions, you can go to Yu Wu or Lao Feng after the meeting. Let's discuss the most important topics of the day. It is the structure of the two sets of teams of the palace, civil and military. ”

As soon as everyone in the hall heard Gongsun Jian's words, they all immediately cheered up. Because at present, Gongsun Jian's Zhou Wangfu's sphere of influence has begun to take shape, and Gongsun Jian's target is very clear to everyone. The next topic may be about the future of all those present in the system. You must know that everyone can be regarded as the dragon hero of Gongsun Jian, although it is not yet the time to sit on the country, but this is a major event related to the fate of themselves and the family in the future.

Looking at everyone present, Gongsun Jian said in a flat tone: "Let's start with civil officials, that is, administrative personnel. I planned it this way, first of all, to set up a government office under the direct control of the royal government to oversee all government affairs within the jurisdiction of the royal government. After that, the yamen of each ministry in charge was set up. At the same time, the administrative division of the subordinate state capitals was adjusted. I don't know if you have different opinions? ”

"As soon as the prince orders, all subordinates obey their orders." And all the people stood up and bowed.

Gongsun Jian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down before talking.

"I think so, the government is directly under my jurisdiction and responsible to me. The ministries and departments are under the jurisdiction of the government and are responsible to the government government. The local state governments are under the direct control of the government government at the same time, and the ministries and departments in charge have direct jurisdiction over the relevant departments of each locality, and of course the governors of each local government also have the right to manage the various departments under their own territory. To put it simply, no matter which department or government, there are two sets of institutions that can govern them. Although this may seem cumbersome, it also has a better monitoring effect. In this way, we will put an end to the unhealthy administrative style of people who are superficial in doing things, procrastination in handling affairs, and corruption and bribery. ”

After that, Gongsun Jian stopped, firstly, to give everyone a process of absorption, digestion and discussion, and secondly, to see if everyone had any different opinions or questions.
