The matter was satisfactorily resolved, but no matter who it was, it was not very satisfying.

A satisfactory solution is the opinion of Longwu and Zhang Qiang, while the people below do not think so.

At a new meeting of civil and military officials in the Governor's Palace.

The admirals sat on the left, the prefects sat on the right, the officials of the governor's palace sat in the front row, and Zhang Qiang sat on the rostrum, and Zhu Dadian sat on a separate diagonal table on the left, and Zhu Dayou was facing Zhu Dadian on the right.

Behind Zhu Dayou, a row against the wall is the Xiucai in the attendant room, they are divided into two groups, one group is responsible for recording the words of the admirals, the other group is responsible for recording the words of the prefects, and the words of Zhang Qiang and Zhu Dadian are recorded by Zhu Dayou.

As soon as the meeting began, it was destined to be full of gunpowder and resentment.

First as a commander, as a military attaché, Wei Wuji slapped the table and complained that the contract signed with the Longwu court had failed the trust of more than 10,000 sacrificed soldiers and people in the Jinhua Righteous Army.

Wei Wuji blushed and roared angrily, "These places were fought down by the Jinhua Righteous Army, and finally handed over to the Longwu Imperial Court to be managed by officials, the Jinhua Righteous Army only has the right to garrison, and has no right to interfere in local administration, and the final military expenses need to be paid by the Jinhua Righteous Army, and the follow-up military expenses and court maintenance costs of the Longwu Imperial Court need to be borne by the Jinhua Righteous Army, which is equivalent to the Jinhua Righteous Army raising the Longwu Imperial Court, which is very puzzling, my lord, can you give an explanation?" ”

As a civilian official of the Jinhua Righteous Army, Zhou Congee continued Wei Wuji's words slowly: "Yes, my lord, we spent a lot of military expenses on the three mansions, which delayed the exhibition of our core three mansions, Jinhua Mansion, Chuzhou Mansion, and Taizhou Mansion, as well as the construction process of Baozhong City, and you handed over the sailors and soldiers we urgently needed to Zheng Chenggong to take away, who will make up for our losses?" ”

Zhu Dadian actually has no opinion on Zhang Qiang's decision, as a new Ming army official, he still sits in his position very cautiously, observing the officials of his Jinhua Righteous Army with the residual vision of his eyes, looking at these Zhang Qiang's henchmen and officials, he is surprised and puzzled that these people from the bottom can create such a powerful and brilliant achievement in such a short period of time, and at the same time, he also observes them with a learning mentality, and also wants to let himself benefit from this surrender.

"Knock knock" Zhang Qiang knocked on the table twice, looked at Zhu Dadian and said, "Lord Zhu, how is our financial situation now?" ”

Zhu Dadian hurriedly said: "My lord, in 165o, which is now the ninth year of Longwu, as of last month, our total financial income is 110 million taels of gold and Huayuan, a total of 80 million taels of silver.

Among them, the income from agriculture is 3 million taels; The income from industry is fifteen million taels.

The government's various incomes are 8 million taels, including income from various assessment fees, income from land sales, income from government enterprises, income from the sale of war horses in government horse farms, and a series of small miscellaneous incomes.

In addition, the tariff revenue was 23 million taels, and the commercial tax revenue was 17 million taels.

There were also 5,000,000 taels of captured enemy supplies and gold and silver, and 17,000,000 taels of sea trade.

This is the full total of revenue. ”

After flipping through a few pages of the ledger, Zhu Dadian continued to bow his head and report, "In terms of pointing out, the total amount of subsidies for various expenses of peasants and subsidies for seeds, farm tools, and inferior fields that have no output is 7 million taels, plus the agricultural subsidies for Shaoxing, Ningbo, Baozhong City, Fuzhou, Xinghua and other prefectures, as well as the resettlement of peasants and refugees, totaling 13 million taels. ”

"On the industrial side:

Support and build new small workshops, support for various factories and provide technical support for workers in workshops and small factories opened by the people, living expenses, attendance allowance, 5 million taels.

A new industrial product research institute was built, with a total allocation of 3 million taels.

The new spinning mills, run by the government, were run by the government, and three were allocated, with a total allocation of 8 million taels.

10 million taels were allocated for the new construction of a large government-run shipyard in Taizhou Prefecture, and 13 million taels were allocated for the new shipyard, wharf and arsenal in Baozhong City.

The ironworks and steelworks under construction will be allocated 30 million taels.

and so on, and the total expenditure was 69 million taels. ”

"Wow-" Hearing such a huge expenditure, the prefects could still hold back, because they handled the money every day, and they reported a lot of data, and they also knew that the expenditure was huge, so their faces did not change.

And those admirals, who only knew how to fight, reorganized and trained the army, fantasized that they would lead the troops out that day to make meritorious contributions and promotions, and they didn't think about these things at all, and when they heard such a huge expense, they were so surprised that they couldn't even close their mouths, and several people had to ask the help of the people next to them to lift up the fallen jaws, because their bodies were shocked.

In fact, Zhang Qiang also had a great shock about the expenditure, because this is only a province, and the expenditure of a province is so huge, so how big is the expenditure of the entire empire to seize the territory of the whole country and even the surrounding subsidiary countries in the future?

Zhu Dadian did not stop reporting because of everyone's amazement.

"Commercial, financial: the establishment of more grain bureaus and bank branches has caused the governor's palace to spend another thirteen million taels, but the return on this expenditure is huge and reasonable, so that our gold and gold are more closely linked with food, and at the same time, because of the huge silver and gold reserves, our gold and gold have been recognized by the general public.

Many people have abandoned the kind of gold, silver and copper heavy coins, most people have accepted the Jinhua Yuan this kind of banknote, the circulation of Jinhua Yuan is fully accessible to our core areas at present, as well as the quasi-core areas, Wenzhou Mansion, Xinghua Mansion, Jianning Mansion, Quzhou Mansion, and most of the officials and people in most areas of the Longwu Dynasty have accepted the circulation of this kind of paper money, and a large number of use.

Even in the Shaoxing Mansion, Ningbo Prefecture, and Zhoushan Prefecture that we just captured, some people accepted Jinhuayuan banknotes, and most of the troops and people of King Lu in Hangzhou Province also used our Jinhuayuan banknotes in their hands and transactions.

It is precisely because of the circulation of our banknotes that our commercial trade has prospered, and according to the prediction of the Ministry of Households, the Jinhua Yuan in Southeast China and even South China has become a store of value, and many people have begun to hold it.

As the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and us became closer and closer, most of the areas they occupied were also our Jinhua Yuan banknotes, and many Zheng generals deposited the gold and silver they obtained from outside into our bank in Taizhou Prefecture, and then exchanged them for Jinhua Yuan banknotes to use on their territory, and their use affected some Portuguese and Dutch, and the most influential were the Spaniards, who pulled a boatload of copper and silver coins to trade with us some time ago, and exchanged a lot of Jinhua Yuan out. ”

"Okay, okay." Xuanyuan Longfei jumped up from his seat and clapped his hands, unafraid of the contemptuous gazes of others.

Zhang Qiang smiled and waved his hand to sit down.
