Chapter 1025 - Able to Save 3.8 Million Guan per Year (Second Update)
Chapter 1025
"How many of you, impeach Wang Wushan?" Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, looked at the folds placed on the imperial case with some pain, and looked at the three people with righteous faces, standing proudly, as if they were the most loyal courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Yes, the reason why Weichen impeached Lord Wang was because Lord Wang disregarded the laws of the court and actually ran a school on the North Shaanxi Road without authorization, and in the college, he did not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and did his best to learn some business things. If the court does not take action, then those businessmen will learn the same in the future, and the world will be boring in the future, and this will be worth it? ”
"Yes, the minister also thinks that it is inappropriate for Wang Jingluo to set up such a college on North Shaanxi Road......"
"Weichen also has the same thoughts as the two adults, and also asks His Majesty to issue an order to reprimand Wang Jingluo, and stop running that technician training school to show the law of the country."
"Three Qing families, I'm just curious, this Wang Wushan, running a school on North Shaanxi Road, has violated which law of my Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, had already calmed down, narrowed his eyes, and asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, although it does not violate the law, but it despises the learning of the sages, and in that school, only those business things are taught, isn't this still a betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty's Confucianism-based and filial piety to govern the country?"
Naturally, if you dare to jump out and attack, Wang Yang, you have to make up some reasonable, at least reasonable reasons, and now this one is really reasonable.
The Son of Heaven is also quite painful, before, as long as there was an impeachment of Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, he could directly go back, but now, the point of attack of this gang of Zi Yushi really made him feel like a dog meddling with rats, but he didn't know how to go back.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, cleared his throat. "I will personally ask Wang Wushan, let's do this first, well, Chen Qing, now that New Year's Day has passed, I don't know how the tax income of the court last year was?"
The eyes of the Son of Heaven fell on the body of Tobe Shangshu.
Tobe Shangshu glanced at the three imperial historians who had retreated stupidly, and then they came out of the crowd and began to talk after bowing to the Son of Heaven.
Although there was a big war in Shaanxi last year that shocked the world, fortunately, there were no major problems in the war.
Moreover, last year, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty could be regarded as smooth weather, the country and the people were safe, and the tax revenue even increased slightly compared with the previous year.
However, last year, because of the war in the north of Shaanxi Road, military spending increased sharply by 1.5 million yuan, and when he heard the news, Zhao Xu's heart was dripping blood.
However, just after a few drops of blood dropped from the careful liver of the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu, Chen Shangshu's words once again brought the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu back to his senses.
“…… Since last year, there have been 70,000 Xiang soldiers on North Shaanxi Road who have been transferred to the people, and they will be given half of the salary of each Xiang army according to the ban on military salaries, which is about 1.96 million yuan a year, that is to say, in the period of half a year alone, my Great Song Dynasty has saved 980,000 yuan of military salaries.
In addition, the transfer of the Xiang army this year has been carried out very smoothly, if the follow-up 120,000 Xiang army can be transferred to the people before April, I expect that this year, we can save about 4.5 million yuan in military salaries, and by next year, this number will become 5.32 million ......."
Chen Hubu stood on top of the court with an expressionless face, and when he heard the news, all the bigwigs in the court changed color, and some even exclaimed.
And Zhao Xu, the son of heaven who sat peacefully behind the imperial case, Rao had already carefully calculated this amount, but now, he couldn't help but want to take a deep breath, and he could save 5.32 million yuan in military spending every year.
This is really not a small amount, you know, one of the important taxes in the Great Song Dynasty today: the tea tax, the annual income is only about 2.5 million yuan.
And Wang Yang did one thing very simply in the land of Liuzhou on the North Shaanxi Road, that is, to migrate the Xiangjun army to fill the land of Liuzhou. Tens of thousands of Xiang soldiers were transferred to the people, which made nearly one million more people work on the North Shaanxi Road, and also reduced the heavy burden of almost seventy percent of the Xiang army in the Great Song Dynasty.
This was still strongly opposed by various states, and after repeated bargaining with the Son of Heaven, the number was finally determined.
It's just that no one expected that Wang Yang did not ask the court for a grain of grain, and the subsidy of the usual money, just relied on the sale of wasteland to make up enough expenses for the relocation and resettlement of the hundreds of thousands of troops and their families. It also allowed the Great Song Dynasty to reduce its expenditure by 5.32 million yuan per year.
This kind of credit is really, at least among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, those ministers who are full of malice and evil feelings towards Wang Yang and Wang Wushan are really envious and jealous in their hearts at this moment.
No one thought that at the beginning, when Wang Yang mentioned that the Xiang army would migrate to the land of Yan, You, and Hongna, the first thought of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military was that he felt that the guy was crazy, and the second thought was, okay, you can bear you to come, see what you can do, and then the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will just look at the jokes of you, a young man who is young and does not know the height of the sky.
As a result, this product actually came up with a ginning machine, which can easily turn the cotton, which used to be only manual and laborious to remove the cotton seeds, into a new fabric that can enter the homes of ordinary people.
The important thing is that when the advent of the hydraulic ginning machine and the hydraulic loom machine, people all over the world were stunned to find that the production process of cotton fabrics was far lower than that of hemp products.
As a result, low-cost and durable cotton products have begun to radiate through the land of the three states and begin to radiate to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
What's even more helpless is that the land of Yan, You, and Hongna is located in a bitter cold land, and most areas are dry and rainless, but there is plenty of sunshine, so the barren fields there have become the best production areas for planting cotton, a drought-loving crop.
As a result, by selling the wasteland, Wang Yang completely solved the expenses for the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people, and was also able to renovate and build the main roads of the six states.
Nowadays, in the land of Yanzhou, not only the traders of Shaanxi Road are flocking to it, even the traders in Bianliang, Tokyo, and even the traders in the Jiangnan area, the most talked about is the green salt of Yanzhou, and the kind of cotton products with good quality and low price.
And now, Wang Yang not only perfectly solved the problem of the cost of relocating hundreds of thousands of people, but also saved 3.8 million yuan in military expenses for the court.
"The war between last year and Liaoxia led to an increase of 1.5 million guan in the military expenditure of my Great Song Dynasty, but the surplus of 950,000 guan in the migration of the Xiang army, in addition, the annual gift spent on Western Xia was about 120,000 guan, so the income and expenditure were offset, which was only equivalent to an extra 430,000 guan, so far, the tax surplus of my Great Song Dynasty last year was about 170,000 guan......"
"170,000 guan, it's really ......" Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, smashed his mouth, with a dog-like expression on his face, and smiled self-deprecatingly. It seems that this year's taxes are enough to spend......"
