Shengjing. Imperial.

Zeng Guanlan, Vice Premier of the Cabinet, Zuo Zongtang, General Staff Officer of the General Staff, Yan Jingming, the new Vice Minister of Finance and Taxation, He Jianji, Vice Minister of Police, and Wu Tang, Vice Minister of Agriculture, met with Feng Yunshan, Emperor of the Chinese Empire.

After Zhou Shengkun, the original minister of finance and taxation, was transferred to the governor of Zhili, Feng Yunshan appointed Yan Jingming, a minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the vice minister of finance and taxation; Liu Changyou, the original Minister of Agriculture, was transferred to the governor of Hubei, and Feng Yunshan appointed Wu Tang, a Manchu minister, as the vice minister of Agriculture.

Yan Jingming, this person is a Jinshi in the Daoguang period, once served as the head of the household department and Langzhong, is very familiar with the household department, is an honest and honest official, and has a good official reputation, plus Feng Yunshan has some impressions of him, as if he remembers that he is one of the few financial experts in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, and he is honest and honest, so he was exceptionally promoted to the deputy minister of finance and taxation.

And Wu Tang is also Feng Yunshan after checking the Manchu surrender, remembering this very famous honest and honest official in the late Qing Dynasty, although he set up a regiment in his hometown to train the encirclement and suppression of the army is very fierce, but after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, he still surrendered to the empire. Feng Yunshan appointed him as the vice minister of agriculture, which can be said to have greatly promoted him, so he was also determined to repay the grace of God.

Feng Yunshan first asked Zeng Guanlan about some government affairs. Zeng Guanlan said that the large-scale construction of railways and telegraphs was in full swing, and then, he focused on the money and grain: "Your Majesty, the large-scale construction of railways and telegraphs, as well as the construction of cement pavements on local official roads, cost a huge amount, and the specific figures have not yet been counted, but it is estimated that last year it cost no less than 30 million Shengyuan, and this year I am afraid it will be even more, reaching 40 million yuan." Fortunately, now Tokyo and Nanjing, as well as Ningbo, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Qinzhou and other ports of large-scale development of trade, plus Shengjing, Tokyo, Nanjing, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Taiwan and other places of the factory began to put into large-scale production, especially the weaving factory produced a large number of new cloth, in addition to selling to the people in China, but also exported to Japan, quite profitable, last year alone sold new cloth profit of more than 30 million yuan. There are also all kinds of miscellaneous department stores, especially hardware, as well as matches, lamp oil, towels, soap, candles, paper, glass and other daily necessities, which also have a profit of more than 30 million yuan. As for the other production of tea, raw silk and porcelain, excluding costs, it made a profit of 27 million holy dollars, of which 16 million holy dollars were made from the export part alone. The largest ones were land taxes and customs duties, salt and tea taxes, and carriages, horses, and ships, totaling 80 million holy dollars. Combined with the seizures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Korea, Annam, Bangladesh, and other places, it is estimated that the amount of Shengyuan is 230 million yuan, and last year, the fiscal and tax revenue of the Chinese Empire totaled 397 million Shengyuan.

In terms of expenditures last year, railways, telegraphs, farmland and water conservancy, especially the reinforcement of the Yellow River embankment, official roads, roads and bridges, and official warehouses cost a total of 78 million s$; A total of 32 million sacred dollars were spent on the purchase of grain, machinery, investment in the construction of factories and mines, the construction of schools and consulates in various places; The total cost of the Imperial Officials' salaries, the purchase of weapons, the construction of military installations, and other miscellaneous expenses amounted to 25 million yuan. Last year's total expenditure on the part of the empire was 135 million holy dollars.

The balance of the Imperial Treasury last year was 262 million Saint Dollars, and together with the total surplus of 340 million Saint Dollars the year before, the Imperial Treasury now has a total of 602 million Saint Dollars. Your Majesty, this is not counting the value of the Manchu treasures captured by the capture of Beijing the year before last. There is no way to estimate the price of those rare antiques, and all the statistics of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation are real money such as gold, silver and copper coins. ”

Zeng Guanlan, as the vice premier of the cabinet, was in charge of civil affairs, which was equivalent to a bachelor's degree in the previous dynasty, and the head of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation had recently changed, and he reported the revenue and expenditure of the state treasury.

Yan Jingming, vice minister of finance and taxation on the side, nodded, obviously, although he had just arrived, he had already mastered these situations.

And He Jianji, the deputy minister of police, and Wu Tang, the vice minister of agriculture, on the side, were dumbfounded, they never expected that the imperial treasury would have so much money. 600 million Holy Dollars, even if according to the current annual expenditure of the empire of 130 million Holy Dollars, there is no income every year, it can be spent for more than four years, not to mention, there is still a large amount of income coming in every year.

Wu Tang is better, it hasn't been long since he entered the cabinet, he is an old minister, he knows that the empire built factories and mines, built railways and official roads, and set up telegraphs last year, all of which are huge investments, and when the investment slows down in the future, or there is a return, it will be even more different.

Feng Yunshan was still a little clear about his family background, but he didn't expect that there would be so many! 600 million holy dollars! I didn't expect the empire's family foundation to be so thick!

However, he also saw that according to his plan, the infrastructure of the empire was still blank, and railways, official roads, telegraphs, and water conservancy facilities still needed to continue to increase investment in construction, and the construction of schools, factories, and mining of minerals could not be stopped and weakened, especially the military pay and military expenditure, with the increase in the number of the empire's army and the expansion of the territory, it would definitely increase significantly, so that the annual expenditure would exceed last year's 135 million yuan, reaching 170 million or even 200 million yuan.

Moreover, the reason why last year's surplus was so large was mainly because of the capture of the war. The first is the capture of Shengjing and Jilin and other places, and the seizure of a large number of Manchu and Mongolian wealth, the second is the capture of Vietnam, Calcutta and Dhaka by the captive army and soldiers, and the third is the recovery of corrupt officials within the empire and the remaining Manchu bullies and gentry, and the sale of real estate and shops. The most of them were captured in the war in the northeast and Mongolia. Most of the original family funds of the empire were also obtained from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the treasury of the state capitals, especially the city of Beijing.

Therefore, Feng Yunshan knew that there would be no more money in the future. Unless it is like the beginning of this year, Korea is captured, but I heard that Korea is relatively poor, although some property has been seized from the Li and Kim families, but compared with the Manchu Dynasty, it is too far away, compared with the remote barbarian state, and the richness of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no way to compare.

However, making war money is indeed a good way to make a lot of money. However, for a case like Korea, where the empire was directly occupied, and the soldiers set it up as two provinces directly under the central government, the capture of the war was not as much as the expenses in the future, and it was not a good deal purely from the perspective of immediate benefits. However, from the perspective of politics and the interests of future generations, Feng Yunshan still chose to occupy it directly, even if it cost a lot, which the empire could still afford.

Regarding Japan, as well as Burma, Siam, the Malay Peninsula and other countries and regions, Feng Yunshan has not yet made a good idea of how to deal with it. If it is simply according to him in later generations, the direct occupation will be directly turned into provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the empire, like Korea and Vietnam, which is the best, and it can be regarded as opening up territory for the Chinese nation and leaving a prestige for the ages. But if you do this, it's not necessarily the best choice. The situation of Vietnam and Korea is different, they have been subject countries of China since ancient times, and the culture of the whole society is deeply influenced by the Chinese and Confucianism, and it is completely bordered by the Chinese Empire, Feng Yunshan took the practice of direct annexation, but like Myanmar and the Malay Peninsula, it is different, the culture is different, even if it is occupied for a time, if it is not assimilated as soon as possible, it is difficult to really occupy it, in case of civil strife in the empire one day, it is easy to fall apart, not only do they break away, Even the territory of the original empire was parsed out. Moreover, the cost of forcible occupation is enormous. Therefore, it is most cost-effective to send troops to loot their wealth and then carry out cultural and economic colonization, which does not cost a lot of money, and even makes a lot of money.

That's what the British Empire did. However, the Chinese Empire had a huge advantage over it, that is, it had a large population. Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan had a new understanding of the handling of state affairs that he had been groping.
