Chapter 686: Statistical Report
Although the Liao State withdrew its troops, although they left some troops in front of Shanhaiguan, these soldiers were at least more than 50 miles away from Shanhaiguan, and at most, they were just monitoring the situation here.
Although Youyun has not yet fully occupied, it has already obtained 12 states, which is already the largest number that can be obtained so far, so it can be said that it is only a matter of time before Youyun takes it.
With the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, even now, troops are dispatched in the northwest to attack Yunzhou, and the protection of Yunzhou cannot be resisted at all, but in this way, the battlefield is too big.
For the Privy Council, as well as other ministers, it seems that to stabilize Youzhou, first run the Zhejin Mansion, and stabilize the foundation, and then consider Yunzhou, there are only 4 states, and at that time, whether it is the intensity or intensity of the war, it will not be very large.
The victory of Youyun is exciting for the Northern Song Dynasty, this dream demon that has been hovering over the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty for several generations has finally been solved, and the Great Wall has finally fallen into the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty in its entirety, but the effect is not as great as imagined.
Han Qi is currently leading Youyun, he has a time difference, in the fleet of the Ding Navy, about 2 times a month, from more than 70 ships at the beginning, to the back, increased to more than 200, and the number of ships transported away at one time has also increased from about 50,000 to about 150,000.
This kind of action, a total of more than 4 months, almost the entire Youzhou is empty, the original almost concentrated 1.5 million, and later through the investigation, especially the cleaning of the hidden households, in the end it was almost 1.9 million, aside from those who defected to the Northern Song Dynasty, there are almost 120,000, and some are not suitable for sailing, sick and weak and very young, in the end, this part is about 50,000 people, was collected, and the remaining 1.7 million or so, all sent out.
In the Ryukyus, after the first step of the development of the Dinghai Navy, ushered in a period of population explosion, in the course of four or five months, a large number of factories were relocated, and after the Dinghai Navy was screened, it was suitable to be sent to the Ryukyus side, about 300,000, which was the foundation of the Dinghai Navy in the Ryukyus.
In various parts of the Ryukyus, the search for natives, the entire Ryukyus, there are about 800,000 natives, this part, basically captured, become part of the population, but the status is not very high, they are like slaves and coolies.
However, compared with the more cruel slaves, they have a certain amount of security, can enjoy a certain amount of freedom and salary, and most importantly, can eat well and eat well.
After the new increase of 1.7 million, the population of Ryukyu has reached a terrible level of nearly 3 million, and this part of the personnel will definitely not be accustomed to the arrival, but the Dingjun Navy has already made all preparations and worked hard to digest these people.
Youzhou, after being completely empty, with the help of the income from the sale of these populations, the construction team of the Dinghai Navy was introduced, taking advantage of the bitter water season in autumn and winter, one by one the rivers were cleaned up, it turned out that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang dynasties continued to Zhejin Mansion, and now it has long been abandoned, on the original foundation, re-opened, and the labor consumed is also a lot.
However, once this section is renovated, you can take a boat from Bianliang to Oritsu Mansion, which will be very great for the improvement of Oritsu Mansion, and with the development of Oritsu Mansion, the status of the Daimyo Mansion will also be affected.
You must know that the Daimyo Mansion was developed to guard against the Liao State, and in history, when the Daimyo Mansion and the Ozutsu Mansion stood side by side, the status of the Daimyo Mansion and the Orita Mansion could not be compared, and once the Orificio Mansion gained a foothold, the status of the Daimyo Mansion would not be guaranteed.
These are all things in the future, although it is already winter, but in the hands of Han Qi, he has a lot of funds in his hands, and he takes the opportunity to start the work of immigration.
In northern China, the land is barren, the population is large, and the per capita arable land area is very scarce, and some of it has reached the limit of what it can carry.
In the middle of these, a part is extracted and filled into the north, where the clouds are located, if it is based on farming, it can accommodate at least 5 million to 8 million people, and if there are really so many people injected, it will definitely be able to regain its glory.
The Northern Expedition was completed, the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty expanded, and the population began to gradually transfer, all of which were in order, but Han Qi's actions were faster, and the structure of some prefectures and counties was also in the framework, and the entire second half of the year was relatively calm.
It's the winter of another year, and it's time for auditing, which comes from the Dinghai Navy, although the traditional one has audits, but there is no system like the Dinghai, and most of them focus on a certain system.
Now, if we list the total grain production, various tax burdens, and income and expenditure on a national scale, and count them as a whole, and then make a comparison with the situation of previous years, we can know the current financial situation.
In fact, in the past three years, the revenue of the entire fiscal department has grown rapidly, and the largest of these is actually commercial tax revenue.
In the past, commercial taxation was only general, and a simple number was set, whether it was 30 taxes or 10 taxes, these were relatively general and did not have a focus.
Dinghai opened up business to the whole country, not only contributed a lot of taxes, at present, the entire commercial tax, Dinghai has contributed, has more than 72%, this number is very huge, the same, in some of the government and local investment projects, there are quite a lot of dividends, this part, constitutes most of the income growth point.
In the sixth year of Qingli, the commercial tax revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty reached an astonishing 3,750 yuan, which was equivalent to about twice the revenue of the entire government three years ago.
Among them, one-third is the original traditional tax, and the remaining two-thirds are new dividends, as well as the tax provided by the Dinghai Navy, which alone made the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty much healthier.
Dinghai played an important role in the middle, with a variety of new products and more expensive tax projects, but Dinghai coins also played a very important role.
The money shortage in the Northern Song Dynasty has always existed, the Northern Song Dynasty is a huge market, even if there is no Zhao Xin's crossing, the economic plate of the Northern Song Dynasty is quite large, the copper money has never been enough, and the copper money of the Northern Song Dynasty has not affected the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao State, the Western Xia, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, these have a certain commercial relationship with the Northern Song Dynasty, are all affected by the currency of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Even some small countries, even the Liao State, were the same, they did not mint their own currency, and directly used the currency of the Northern Song Dynasty.
If the Northern Song Dynasty is not a copper coin, but a credit currency, these alone, you can control the surrounding countries through these coinage and depreciation, but unfortunately the copper coin is a precious metal currency, and it has value in itself, and even in some cases, there will be an upside down.
This situation, to a certain extent, restricts the prosperity of commerce, and some iron money, flying tickets, and Jiaozi also came into being.
Now, the emergence of Dinghai coin, from the beginning, is more in line with the values of this era, Dinghai currency is not paper money, is stainless steel coin, not only the manufacture is very exquisite, when the stamping facilities, as well as the study of stainless steel, reached a certain level, the manufacture of Dinghai coin, has not relied on Zhao Xin.
Stainless steel, itself is a material with excellent hardness and performance in all aspects, itself has a certain value, coupled with reasonable design, jagged edges, and exquisite drawings, these have become sought after, not easy to counterfeit, but also easy to use, once it appeared, it swept the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
The emergence of a large number of Dinghai coins has made the market of the entire Northern Song Dynasty more prosperous, and now, the total number of Dinghai coins has exceeded 3 billion, and it is constantly expanding, which solves the problem of insufficient liquidity of the currency of the Northern Song Dynasty.
According to the theory of economics, if the same dollar is only bought for one thing, then it is the value of one dollar, but if there are seven, eight, or even more stalls, different flows, the value he creates is not as simple as a dollar, and he will increase in value.
The constant circulation of currency has also allowed the income of commerce and trade to begin to grow, not to say that all people are business, at least, a large number of commercial activities have begun to appear, and the tax burden has also increased a lot.
Itself, because of the Northern Expedition, the start of the army, and a large amount of construction, the expenditure increased to a certain extent, but in the face of tens of millions of dollars and the increase in tax revenue, these were directly filled in.
If it's just the growth of money, it's just a number, but it's real, the entire Northern Song Dynasty is growing, let's take an analogy.
It turned out that in the deep mountains, all kinds of fruits, food, and minerals that grew in the deep mountains, they lay there, and even rotted.
Now, when these things have commercial value, and in the same way, with a relatively good transportation environment, they can be transported to a suitable place for sale, and these things, naturally, have value.
There are many other things like this, the production volume of various basic minerals, and the volume of various commodities, which can be expressed in the most simple and intuitive data.
For the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, the most basic and fundamental thing was actually grain.
After breaking through from the northwest, a Hetao basin increased a considerable amount of cultivated land in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, which was about 30 million mu or more, and the most important thing is that the vast majority of these lands were middle and upper fields.
Different from the traditional cultivated land area, this itself is an enclave, almost all of which are led by Han Qi, with his support, many advanced cultivation methods of the Dinghai Navy are also used here, and the water conservancy system of the Yellow River has played a huge role in supporting these cultivated land, which has produced great results in the sixth year of Qingli.
Two seasons a year, winter wheat and cotton are staggered, and the output of winter wheat has reached an average of 4.5 stones, that is to say, 30 million acres of land, a total of 135 million stones have been harvested, and this alone is enough to feed 30 or 40 million more people, and most importantly, there is cotton.
The yield of cotton is not large, about 3 stones, and about 1 stone of lint can be produced.
That is to say, more than 3,000 stone of lint, if these are used for weaving, basically the loss is not very large, according to the purchase price of the navy, this alone, the income of the entire northwest is quite terrible.
The increase in the northwest, that is the net growth, which is quite critical for the entire Northern Song Dynasty, all of a sudden on the original basis, a large piece of improvement, even in the hands of the government, there is enough food to deal with natural disasters, which is very good for the stability of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Similarly, Dingjun also spared no effort to promote the reform of agriculture, some seeds and fertilizers, advanced planting methods, but also imperceptibly affected the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the magnitude of this is not large, may make the average yield per mu in the Northern Song Dynasty, increase by about 10-20 catties, but this, extended to the entire Northern Song Dynasty 850 million acres of land, is also very terrible.
The two were superimposed, and the grain output of the entire Northern Song Dynasty increased by more than 200 million stones, and the tax revenue of the government alone increased a lot.
The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, this point, for the dynasty, is to avoid as much as possible, if in the past, there is no statistics, there is no money, the three divisions may only be a small control.
But now, the tax alone has increased the revenue of the entire government by tens of millions of yuan, and a part of it has been used to ease the price of grain, which is something that everyone will do.
At present, all the grain depots in the Northern Song Dynasty are flooded with grain, and the price of grain has dropped somewhat, but it has not reached the point of hurting the peasants.
After all, completely dry grain can be kept for a longer period of time, as long as you are careful not to get damp, and keep it for two or three years without problems.
Food, for any country, at any time, is a foundation, maybe food can not make too much money, but food is fundamental, 100 million people, if food is only enough for 80 million to use, then it is a tragedy, is the root of the troubled times.
In addition to food and taxes, other aspects, also carried out very well, in the middle, the first long railway, Bianliang to the northwest railway has been opened to traffic in stages, from the Bianliang to Yingtian railway in the experience learned, so that this railway from the beginning, is a higher specification, the traffic began to increase rapidly.
A large amount of grain, cotton, meat, cattle and sheep in the northwest, as well as a large number of mineral resources, which could not be transported into the inland materials, can be transported in faster and larger quantities through the railway, not to mention that the price of beef and mutton and cattle and horses began to decline on a large scale in the first month of the opening of the railway, which is another improvement for ordinary people in the Northern Song Dynasty who have already increased their income and have a higher sense of happiness.
The arrival of more cattle and horses can increase labor efficiency, the same land, fewer people will be used, more people can be liberated, and the same large intake of non-staple food will also increase the physical fitness of the people, which is a very good thing for the Northern Song Dynasty and for the whole of China.
