When the eldest Sun Wuji finishes this set of data, what Sun Xiangfu says will be easy for everyone to understand.

"Perhaps in the view of some ministers, the surplus of tax revenue in Guanzhong is more than 30%, mainly from agricultural reform, because more cash crops are planted in the fields, which cannot be counted as the benefits brought about by the reform of the official system, but should be counted as the benefits brought by the reform of agricultural technology.

But in fact, it is not the case, although the agricultural technology reform has brought a certain increase in the tax revenue of Guanzhong, but it may not be so big, Your Majesty, the minister also wants to invite the eldest grandson Shangshu to talk about the tax structure of Guanzhong this year. ”

"Yes."

With Li Shimin's consent, the eldest grandson Wuji organized the language again, "The tax revenue in Guanzhong mainly comes from agricultural tax and commercial tax, and the agricultural tax in the past is almost just enough to cover the expenses of officials and the palace, and the surplus part is roughly from commercial tax.

Due to the reform of the official system this year, the salaries of officials, local officials, and miscellaneous servants given by the imperial court, as well as the supply of the imperial family, have increased by more than 30% on the basis of the past, and all of them have been converted into cash, and the ministers also know this in their hearts.

As a result of the construction of the Weinan New City, the imperial court requisitioned hundreds of thousands of people from relatively poor areas to work, so that Guanzhong returned more than 3 million mu of land this year. As a result, the total number of acres of land collected in Guanzhong this year has decreased by about 20 percent.

Therefore, although most of the fields have generated a lot of tax revenue due to the use of new planting techniques and more economically valuable crops, the total amount of agricultural tax has not increased significantly compared with previous good years, so it is simply not enough to support the sudden increase of more than 30% of all expenses.

However, the imperial court did not reduce the officials' salaries, and according to the established increase standards, all of them were distributed in full.

After the distribution, the reason why there is a surplus is actually because Guanzhong's revenue in terms of commercial taxes has increased significantly this year, and so far, almost one million yuan of expenditure of the imperial court has been paid from this year's commercial tax. ”

If you take 1 million guan to help make up for your expenses, you can still have a balance of 1 million guan, doesn't this mean that the commercial tax in Guanzhong has exceeded 2 million guan this year, an increase of about three times compared with the past?

Most of the non-household officials were a little confused when they heard this data, and they did not know how much it would promote the business of the area when the daily needs of all the wealthy classes in the area had to be bought through transactions.

The rich may only spend a few million guan, but these millions of guan will continue to change hands in the market, creating trading volume, and each rotation will create at least tens of thousands of guan tax revenue for the imperial court, just one Chang'an City, is more than 700,000 guan of tax balance, plus all other areas in Guanzhong, two million guan, in fact, is not much.

Because, just this year, the Weinan New City has created hundreds of thousands of taxes for the imperial court, and the various industries of Happy Village, including the funds invested by wealthy people in Weinan New Town, are as high as tens of millions of dollars.

Almost no need for Sun Xiangfu to explain anything, the facts have told everyone that the benefits of the reform of the official system have been brought about, and he came out again, "The reform of the official system implemented by the imperial court has greatly stimulated the transaction volume in the market, which makes the commercial tax skyrocket, which is inevitable, and the increase in this piece of income is enough to supplement the expenses brought by the increase in official income, and it can also increase the tax balance by three percent."

It can be seen that it is necessary to carry out the reform of the official system throughout the country and stimulate the trading market throughout the country, and at least it will bring a certain increase to the total tax balance of the imperial court.

Of course, even if the tax surplus in all parts of the country increases by one or two percent, it will only add up to hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is nothing, and it is not the focus of the problem that Zhang Shilang just mentioned.

First of all, after two or three years, the taxes of the imperial court will be enough to support the newly increased expenditure of about 5 million guan guan per year.

Although there will still be more than 10 million mu of farmland returned to farmland next year, more than 500,000 new households will be added to pay taxes for the imperial court.

There are also more than 100,000 households who moved to Guanzhong from Goguryeo in the northeast, as well as the four newly surrendered departments in the northeast, totaling about 100,000 households.

Of course, there are also the people of various ethnic minorities who originally lived in the poor mountains and bad rivers and basically did not pay taxes to the imperial court, and after they are moved out next year, they will be cultivated in the fields with relatively high output in the Tang Dynasty and begin to generate taxes for the imperial court.

According to the proportion of the total population of Datang, these 500,000 households, even if some preferential tax policies will be given in the early stage, they will definitely increase the total tax revenue by more than one or two percent.

However, this is still a small amount of money of hundreds of thousands, which is not worth mentioning.

The real big head is in the following three aspects.

First, the Lingnan Yue Guogong has already reported this year and has begun to implement the matter of making the people of Lingnan pay taxes to the imperial court like the people of the Central Plains, and it will basically be fully implemented in the 12 prefectures of Lingnan early next year.

With the population of Lingnan, the output of the land, and the commercial output, once the tax is provided for the imperial court like the Central Plains, then it will start at least one million yuan per year. ”

In the past, the tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty was only about 3 million guan, but Sun Xiangfu now said that the tax revenue of remote Lingnan alone will be more than 1 million guan, however, no one has come out to oppose it, because this is a fact.

When there was a great drought in Guanzhong last year, Lingnan gave the imperial court millions of stone grains in vain, which were at least millions of yuan at the market price at that time, and now, the grain output is no longer the bulk of their income, because they still have sugar, refined sea salt, canned fruits that are about to be made in large quantities, maritime trade, etc., together, to create a million yuan in taxes, which is an easy matter.

Therefore, when the ministers who knew the benefits of salt and sugar heard Sun Xiangfu say this, they all nodded one after another, and continued to focus their eyes on him, waiting for his next step.

"Second, it is Weinan New Town, next year, the construction of the new city will be greater than this year, and some industries will be shipped in large quantities, do you know how much this means that the imperial court's taxes will increase?"

Many courtiers subconsciously shook their heads, and Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but want to move his feet and clench his casserole-sized fist, obviously, he was extremely excited in his heart, but he was just trying to maintain restraint.

"I still use more specific data to speak, so that everyone's senses are more direct, so as not to be accused of making me up.

Take the smelter that will start shipping in a few years, so far, it has received more than 10 million orders for military equipment from the imperial court, that is to say, according to the standard of 30 taxes and one from the imperial court, this military purchase order of the smelter alone will create more than 300,000 yuan of tax revenue for the imperial court, and the smelter, is there only this one order? ”

Sun Xiangfu's question was not answered, he shook his head and said, "There must be more than that." ”

"Next year, the four commercial plazas invested and built by Chang'an Xungui organized by the Changsun family will purchase more than 2 million steel bars in the smelter.

The various factories and car factories invested by Xingfu Village will also purchase a large number of steel products, as well as the smelter itself to forge, and the civilian steel products sold to the outside world, the total amount of which is at least twice as high as the military purchase orders of the imperial court, that is, a smelter alone can create more than one million yuan of tax revenue for the imperial court.

There are also a series of commodities such as cement, wood, bricks, glass, furniture decoration supplies, etc., all of which will be purchased in large quantities, and these transactions will all create taxes for the imperial court, and the most conservative estimate is that these commodities will also create more than three million taxes for the imperial court.

Moreover, there is another major tax source, that is, the personal income tax levied on workers after the implementation of the new tax law.

Don't think that the tax revenue of tens of hundreds of wen per person per month is nothing, if the number of laborers in various parts of Guanzhong exceeds one or two million, then it will create at least hundreds of thousands of yuan of tax revenue for the imperial court every month, and millions of yuan in a year. ”

When Sun Xiangfu said this, there was only the voice of the ministers in the court, and the taxes he said were all new! In other words, it will be the surplus of the future imperial court.

Once the country began to enter industrialization, then the output value and the previous agricultural society were completely two levels, and everything he said was a point that could indeed bring tax revenue to the imperial court, and no one could refute it.

Moreover, everyone knows that the most important words are usually said at the end, so there is a third aspect that Sun Xiangfu has not said!

"Millions of laborers, created, not only Weinan taxes, with the opening of the factory in Weinan, a large number of goods manufactured in the market circulation, will stimulate the entire Datang market transactions, with the opening of various commercial plazas, will make the entire business transaction environment of Datang more convenient, so that the market transaction volume has increased significantly, more money is rolled on the market, all the money rolled, the imperial court can collect taxes in the transaction link, how much money can be collected, you think for yourself! I can't give a specific number anyway. ”

The effect of big projects together, like a big economic stimulus plan, has a very long-term impact on the country, Sun Xiangfu used his own farming technology to gradually make up for the original output shortcomings of Datang, so, now, and then make up for the shortcomings of industry and commerce, so, what is the short board in the end?

Scholars, the shortcomings of the management class.

If there are not enough management talents, then the scenarios he described are not so easy to achieve, so wise men like Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji, who are accustomed to politics, can understand the key points after a little pondering.

When the stall is spread, it is necessary to have people to manage the stall, and if this process of arranging manpower can also break the control of the family officials over the place, it will be even more perfect.

Just like Shanyang, although Sun Xiangfu appointed a large number of Wang's children as officials, the Wang family could not dictate Sun Xiangfu's management, because Sun Xiangfu borrowed some decentralization systems and management systems from later generations, so that even if officials wanted to do evil, they could not do great evil.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Sun Dudu said is reasonable, the official system is more comprehensive, and the management will be more meticulous, so as to better deal with the increasingly complex situation in the future.

And the past taxes can only represent the past, not the future, like this year, the tax balance of the imperial court, isn't it more than double that of last year? Can't Anzhi continue to increase next year?

Moreover, if the imperial court can't afford to support so many officials, it is always beneficial for them to spend more time studying and practicing if they can postpone the time for these interns to become regulars. ”

Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, came out to set the tone, and suddenly there was a large group of people in the court who seconded the proposal, but some ministers were annoyed that they didn't catch the express train of Datang's development, at least, the commercial plaza in Changsun's lane, they didn't take out the most money to buy shares.

At this time, Zhang Shuo, whose face was sinking like water, had lowered his head and didn't dare to let others see his face, and the counterattack of those family members was really weak, causing him to rush out and jump into the pit.

As the chief official of the Ministry of Officials, Wen Yanbo, who also felt disgraced, snorted coldly, glared at his deputy Zhang Shuo, who didn't listen to his own call, and said, "Your Majesty, since it has been proved that the reform of the official system plays an important role in the financial and tax development of the Tang Dynasty, then, the old minister suggests, spread it out nationwide." ”
