Nowadays, the military spending on the military side is no longer an illusory figure, but it has never been able to really get its hands, and only materials and weapons can be obtained.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has implemented a new financial budget system, and the military funds allocated to the military in the future will be directly given to the military.

With the scale of the Tang Dynasty getting bigger and bigger, the size of the army is also increasing, and the internal circulation of funds is also getting bigger and bigger.

The Ministry of Taxation can basically dig out a group of corrupt officials every once in a while, and these corrupt officials are one after another, and none of them are afraid of death!

There is no way, Li Xuan can only prepare to reform in advance!

Begin to implement the budget system in earnest!

In fact, as early as when he was in Xingquan Mansion, Li Xuan wanted to emulate later generations to engage in a real financial budget system, but later found that the territory was a little smaller, and the money was less, and the financial budget was a bit ridiculous and generous, so he simply let the tax department be responsible for making money and spending money in a package, and other departments only need to do things, and the military only needs to be responsible for fighting the war, so they don't have to worry about money and materials.

Now that the scale is large, and the capital is about to be moved to Zhaoqing, covering two or even three provinces, this financial budget system is also more suitable.

The financial budget system of the Tang Dynasty is limited to the times and execution, or relatively primitive, first of all, the Ministry of Taxation counts out the approximate income of the current year, and distributes funds according to this income, and this part of the allocation of funds is divided into three parts, military expenses, administrative expenses, and royal expenses.

Among them, the royal expenses are mainly the living expenses of the members of the royal family, the office expenses of the Hanlin Academy (including institutions such as the Survey and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy), and the military expenses of the Guards.

Administrative expenses are mainly the office expenses of various cabinet ministries and the Inspectorate independent of the cabinet, and if broken down, they include the salaries of hundreds of officials, education expenses, and industrial and commercial development expenses.

The military's words are simple, and naturally it is the cost of the army and navy.

Because the Tang Dynasty is still in the midst of rapid expansion, the revenue budget is unstable and there is no fixed number, only how much is spent, and the majority of the expenditure is military spending.

In the past year, more than eighty percent of the income of the Tang Dynasty, including normal taxes and family raids, was finally used by the army.

Therefore, in the budget of the second year of Xuanping, the military expenditure budget accounted for 75 percent, and it is worth noting that most of the funds included in the royal family expenses were also used as military expenses for the guards, and this part also accounted for about 8 percent.

Therefore, if the two are combined, in fact, the cost of military use accounts for 83% of all expenditures, and this proportion is a super high proportion even in the ancient feudal dynasties with a high proportion of military expenditure.

At least 80 percent of the gold and silver escorted back from Guilin will eventually be used for military expenses.

After the military received these military funds, first the Privy Council would spend a very small part of the office funds, and then the navy and army would distribute them, and the army would occupy more than 95 percent of them.

Some of these army military expenses are used to pay salaries to soldiers and officers, some are used to purchase various combat materials, including ammunition, food, clothing, etc., and part is used to purchase weapons and equipment for the army.

In the end, most of these procurement expenses will flow into the major arsenals under the Ministry of Industry, which will use the money to purchase raw materials, pay workers' salaries, build factories, and finally produce various war materials.

This is also the reason why only 20,000 taels of silver were left for the Ministry of Industry, and most of the money was directly given to the military, rather than the Ministry of Taxation directly purchasing raw materials and sending them to the Ministry of Industry as in the past, and then directly paying the salaries of soldiers and workers.

This rudimentary budget system of fiscal separation was also an important attempt by Li Xuan to carry out modernization reforms in the 16th century, and he would continue to try to separate many of the arsenals of the Ministry of Industry from the Ministry of Industry, either by setting up a special agency to operate these state-owned factories, or by turning them into official supervision and commercial offices.

At the same time, private capital forces are encouraged to invest capital into industry.

Li Xuan is quite quite disgusted that those gentry and big families make money and buy all kinds of real estate such as land, houses, shops, etc., or simply cast silver ingots and bury them in the cellar, Nima, burying these silver ingots in the soil will not give you a small silver ingot, bury a fart.

Take it out and invest it, if you don't invest, how can Lao Tzu collect taxes if you don't spend money?

However, these attempts are still too early, and now the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is still not deep enough to be tossed blindly!

Now there is not even a capital, it is too early to talk about industrial and commercial reform, and the top priority is to set a capital for the Tang Dynasty!

In the words of the cabinet minister Wang Wenhua, when the capital is set as soon as possible, with the heart of the subjects, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be laid, and the rest must be in the back row.

Therefore, after receiving Hao Bonian's good news, a group of civil and military officials in Wuzhou have already begun to nervously arrange the matter of entering Zhaoqing, and Liu Bagou, who is in Liuzhou, is also leading the officials in Liuzhou to prepare for the relocation.

Fortunately, the relocation of the capital to Zhaoqing has been determined a long time ago, and the civil and military officials have long been psychologically prepared for this, and they have been preparing in advance.

This is also why all the cabinet departments, whether they are in Liuzhou or Wuzhou, are just like Li Xuan, they just find a place to work temporarily, and they don't build a yamen or anything at all.

Now after Zhaoqing is taken, the first to act is the left-behind officials in Liuzhou, Liu Bagou will lead the left-behind officials and many family members of the officials, among which the royal family members are naturally indispensable to go down the Xijiang River first, first to Wuzhou to meet Li Xuan and others, and then go to Zhaoqing together.

It's even easier here in Wuzhou, it's just a temporary foothold, and moving is naturally simple, easy and convenient.

The reason why Li Xuan did not go to Zhaoqing as soon as possible, but had to wait for the people in Liuzhou, on the one hand, wanted to take hundreds of officials and many family members to Zhaoqing together, and on the other hand, he also needed to set aside a certain amount of time for the people from the military, the Ministry of Industry and other institutions, so that they had time to clean up, rectify, and repair Zhaoqing.

For example, hygiene, Li Xuan hated the dirty mess of the city, so he had personally issued an order to the Zhaoqing prefect Yamen in all aspects, and the rest could be eased, but the city must be hygienic, and he must pay attention to it, he didn't want to live in a capital full of feces and urine!

After the Tang Dynasty established an administrative agency in Zhaoqing Fucheng, it did not collect taxes as soon as possible, but started the city's sanitation and cleaning work, and at the same time violently demolished a large number of illegal buildings, all over the city, especially where there are more shops, but all the buildings that encroach on the streets will be demolished, and it is useless for anyone to say clearly, and whoever dares to oppose it directly asks for the assistance of the garrison.

When the soldiers of the First Army used shotguns to blow up an illegal restaurant, and the owner of a high-ranking Ming Dynasty official was rumored to have been hanged on the street, no one in the city dared to say a word about the clean-up of the Tang Dynasty.

Clean up the streets, demolish the illegal construction at the same time, but also requisition a large number of people to repair the streets, especially several main roads in the city, must be cleaned up, with stone paving such a large project is impossible, but loess paving is still needed.

Then they had to prepare offices for the royal family and the officials.

This time, Li Xuan and the others are not ready to leave in a short time after they come to Zhaoqing, the palace must be there, and the yamen of the cabinet departments must also be there, and neither the palace nor the cabinet yamen can be too cold and stingy.

However, it is naturally too late to build directly, and there is no money, for this reason, the relevant personnel in charge of this time can only use the original buildings in the city, such as the Zhaoqing prefect's yamen, although this yamen is a little dilapidated, a little smaller, but it is also the most magnificent building in the city, naturally it is the best choice for the palace, and at the same time, a large number of houses and vacant land around the yamen have been requisitioned, ready to open up and bulldoze, all of which are included in the scope of the palace.

The follow-up Ministry of Engineering will build a new palace on the basis of this piece of buildings and vacant land, but it can only be repaired little by little, as for when the huge building complex planned by the Ministry of Industry will be completed, only God knows.

Anyway, in a short period of time, the entire palace is still the core of the original prefect's yamen complex, but the scale is not large, and many buildings are not suitable, so several small-scale courtyards will be built in the early stage for the royal family members to live, and at the same time, a large hall for Li Xuan and the Hanlin Academy will be built, or a building complex.

As for the rest of the place, let's put it first, tear down all the original ordinary buildings, and then plant some flowers and plants, dig a small pond, and build a garden or something, but don't expect to be able to build any royal gardens.

Build a palace wall on the periphery, but building a city wall has always been a big project, Li Xuan doesn't even have money for military expenses, how can he spend so much money to repair a thick and high palace wall, just build a wall a few meters high, as for how to defend it.

Li Xuan was going to put a full guard battalion in the palace, and two more guards infantry battalions, cavalry battalions and artillery battalions in the city, he felt that this was much more reliable than the city wall.

The palace is like this, and the office locations of other institutions can naturally be saved, and they basically follow the original Ming Dynasty's yamen buildings and private houses.

After the location of the palace and the offices of various institutions, the residences of officials and a large number of family members have been prepared, and at the same time, Liu Bagou also arrived in Wuzhou with the left-behind personnel from Liuzhou, which means that the preparations for the relocation of the capital of the Tang Dynasty have been completely completed, and now the Tang Dynasty is about to usher in the official relocation of the capital!
