"Back to Your Majesty, it's tens of thousands a year." Xu Qilin listed a conservative number, and then said: "I have a thousand post stations in Datang, that is, only half of them are taken, and it is common for 500 stores to earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year. ”

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and continued to look at the documents, but his heart was full of waves.

There is not much record of the revenue of the Tang treasury in history, and according to expert estimates, it varies from era to era.

For example, the income of Kaiyuan in a certain year was more than 25 million stone of millet, more than 25 million yuan of cloth and silk, and more than 2 million yuan of money, totaling more than 30 million yuan.

However, the population of Zhenguan was more than 3 million households, and it was more than 10 million households at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a difference of more than three times. Coupled with the frequent wars during the Zhenguan period, the national fiscal revenue at that time was set at 10 million guan, which should be only a lot more.

Let's take a look at the commercial real estate outside Jinguangmen and Chunli Gate, which is only tens of thousands of yuan, even if you add the building shop next to the post station, it will not exceed 50,000 yuan per year.

If compared with the 10 million guan of state fiscal revenue, this 50,000 guan is not even one-fifth.

But this money was made easily, without using a penny of the state, Xu Qilin advanced the start-up capital, changed hands and recovered it, and made a lot of money.

In other words, it is not about how much money is made, the most admirable and appreciative thing is Xu Qilin's business methods and flexible thinking.

This kid is really a money-making expert and a genius in financial management!

Li Dong glanced at Xu Qilin, and saw him sitting calmly, looking like an old god, he couldn't help but snort secretly, and said in his heart: This stinky boy, pretending to be light and light, is waiting for my reward!

Moreover, this document is very detailed, and when it is handed in, it means that it will not be done. Wait for the house to be built, take the reward of "build ten rewards", rent it out, and count the money every day!

Anyway, the business model has been paved, and it is true that there is no need for a layman like Xu Qilin to command the construction of a house. Your Majesty Li Er is willing to give these houses to the Du branch, or stay in the inner mansion, Xu Qilin doesn't care!

How to deal with these houses, and what burden to add to Xu Qilin in the future, His Majesty Li Er is really a little hesitant.

"Tang inherited the Sui system", so in the early Tang Dynasty, it basically inherited the state system of the Sui Dynasty, and the treasury system was the same.

The Taifu Temple in the Sui Dynasty was unified with the Left Tibet, Right Tibet, Yellow Tibet and other offices, which shows that the imperial treasury is still mixed with the national treasury in one institution. Of course, Huang Zang only served the court, so there were few officials, and its scale was not as large as that of Zuo Zang.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty separated the Shaofu Supervisor, who was in charge of the handicraft industry, from the Taifu Temple, making the Taifu Temple a full-time treasury department. In particular, the attribution of Huangzang to the Changqiu Jian (Inner Service Province) made Taifu Temple a veritable treasury department.

In the Zhenguan period, His Majesty Li Er reinstated the Shaofu Supervisor and strengthened the treasury department, so a relatively complete and sound treasury management system was preliminarily determined.

Although the treasury system has been preliminarily determined, it has not yet been fully finalized. At present, it is manifested that there is always interference from the royal family in the management of the treasury, that is, the contradiction between the distribution of the treasury and the consumption of the royal family.

In the first month of the fifth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er gave more than three grades of silk, "let it be light, and try its best to take things out of the warehouse". If you can carry as much as you can carry, you can only blame yourself for your poor health.

In the same year, after the repair of Renshou Palace, he wanted to repair Luoyang Palace, so that the treasury was "hidden in its emptiness".

Not only did His Majesty Li Er often take money from the treasury for private use, but he also issued an edict: "Order the crown prince to use the treasury and materials, and do not restrict it." ”

Of course, this kind of situation of mixing the treasury with the inner treasury of the palace, and Lao Tzu spent his son's flowers, made His Majesty Li Er suffer a lot, and he had to be restrained in the future.

Because, using the money from the treasury for your own pleasure can be regarded as a faint king!

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the separation of royal finances and state finances has basically become customized. His Majesty Li Er is not ignorant of this, but pretending to be confused.

There is no way, the royal inner government does not have a completely independent income, and mainly relies on the transfer of the state treasury. The specific expenses are counted according to the rank, and the book is sent to the middle school for approval in the spring and autumn seasons, and then the treasury department pays according to the amount.

If this charter is strictly enforced, then His Majesty Li Er feels that the money is not enough to spend!

Therefore, on the one hand, His Majesty Li Er also knows the drawbacks, but on the other hand, he can't control the expenses. It wasn't that he didn't think about letting the activities of the inner palace extend from within the palace. However, who will run the business, what will be operated, whether it will make profits or losses, and whether it will be put on the big hat of "competing with the people for profit" are all problems to be solved.

Giggled, the little son ran to Xu Qilin with a smile and showed him his new discovery. Even turning the little book upside down is full of fun.

Seeing that his beloved daughter and Xu Qilin were very close, His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly, and his mind had been decided.

Xu Qilin's whimsical ideas are certainly admirable, but they will inevitably encounter a lot of resistance in the court. It's very simple, those ministers are more traditional thinking, the treasury can generate revenue, but when it comes to business or something, then in a word, what are you kidding?

The inner government, on the other hand, is much more liberal and relaxed, as long as it does not take advantage of its power and oppression, as long as it does not "compete with the people for profit", and as long as its involvement in commerce is not so obvious and deep, the ministers really can't control it.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er is still a little worried, and he still has to tell him to see if Xu Qilin can do it. If you mess around, the money will be earned, and the reputation will stink.

"Qi Lin—" His Majesty Li Er stretched out his voice, saw Xu Qilin raise his head, and listened carefully, before he said slowly: "You are still young, although you have the ability to manage money, it is not appropriate to stand in the court. But if there is no messenger, I am worried that you will be mixed up with the capital......"

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and understood that this was to hire himself as a financial advisor to the royal palace. To put it bluntly, it seems that he is doing it for his own good.

The Royal Inner Palace, also known as the Shaofu, is now led by the Shaofu Inner Chamberlain, who is in charge of the budget, the Inner Government Bureau is in charge of the number of names, and the Inner Mansion is in charge of the key.

In terms of revenue, it is dependent on the treasury and has no independent income. In terms of expenditure, it is mainly for the harem; There are also some court meetings, meritorious generals, rewards and temporary expenses for the resignation of the chieftains.

"Your Majesty, it seems that all the people in charge of this young mansion are eunuchs!" The more Xu Qilin listened, the more scared he became, what the hell is this, it's going to be cut before it works? If it doesn't work, Lao Tzu won't do it if he dies.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, don't worry. ”

Don't be in a hurry, you can say it quickly, I'm so scared that I'm about to sit on the ground.

With His Majesty Li Er's narration, Xu Qilin finally put his mind at ease.
