Chapter 715: Hiding Wealth

Zhengdan Dynasty will be a successful end, summed up the past year, looking forward to the future year, this is a hello, I am good, everyone is good situation.

The ministers went home for the New Year full of joy, leaving the hard-pressed officials on duty eager to see through.

Li Yuanji also led Li Chengguang out of the main hall slowly, but he did not go to the harem or the East Palace, but led him directly into his study.

Song Zhong had already received Li Yuanji's instructions, and after entering the study, he walked directly to a pile of materials, took out a copy of it, and placed it directly in front of Li Chengguang.

"Check it out!" Li Yuanji had a slight smile on his face.

With doubts, Li Chengguang opened this information, which was not clearly marked.

Whether it is now, or in the past, all materials have a characteristic, the first page after turning the page is always a prologue, followed by a table of contents.

The so-called prologue is a summary of this information, so that after reading this prologue, people can accurately understand what is written in the book.

The table of contents doesn't need to be explained, but any normal person can understand it.

The information in Li Chengguang's hand at this moment is not a secret, because specific figures have been announced at the court meeting just now, although how much money has been invested in each project and where the income of each consistent money comes from has not been explained.

But there is no need to explain, the Zhengdan Dynasty does not need to explain these, just need to say the total.

Looking at the financial information in his hand, Li Chengguang was a little distracted, and secretly thought that there was something hidden here?

Next is the table of contents, which has only three large chapters, Income, Expenditure, and Surplus.

Each chapter is divided into a different number of sub-chapters, but these sub-chapters are not the most detailed, which are taxes, local coinage, overseas coinage, and other income.

Expenditure is divided into three sub-chapters: military spending, official spending, and infrastructure spending.

The surplus has no small chapters, just a large and lonely chapter.

This is a slightly more detailed account than what was said at the court meeting, but it is still very crude.

Li Chengguang was a little curious why his father would show him these things.

But curiosity is curiosity, before reading the content of this information with his own eyes, Li Chengguang will not be stupid to question anything.

Then I turned the first page, and what was written on it was this year's tax revenue, which was basically the same as what Huangfu Wuyi said, and the annual tax revenue was 2,443,600 yuan, an increase of more than 19 percent over the previous year, less than 20 percent, or about 400,000 yuan.

The previous year increased by about 17 percent year-on-year, and the growth rate was more than 15 percent for three consecutive years, and it has been growing at a rate of 2 percentage points every year.

Considering that part of the middle line of the North-South Railway is about to be opened to traffic, the mobility of goods and personnel has been further strengthened, and there are more and more industrial layouts, a large number of commodities have forced the price of goods to fall, and the purchasing power of the people has increased, so it can effectively stimulate economic development.

originally thought that this was no different from what was said at the court meeting, but after reading this page, Li Chengguang found that he was wrong.

The above not only lists the comparison of data, but also brings some analysis, although the specific analysis will not be as simple as said above, but for Li Chengguang, it is also a huge fortune.

This also made him realize more deeply that the main way to develop the economy is to build roads, lay out industries, let commodity prices fall, ensure the continuous growth of jobs, and enable more people to have a place to make money, and then the purchasing power will naturally increase, and more will be purchased, although the price has decreased, but the huge amount is enough to offset or even exceed these incomes, so the country's economy will naturally improve.

This explanation is very brief, but it provides Li Chengguang with a detailed idea, although he has also asked Ma Zhou these questions before, and Ma Zhou has also explained them to him, but he was too young back then, and he can only be ignorant about these problems, and he has no real grasp at all.

Li Chengguang then turned to the second page......

"Father, this ......" Li Chengguang's eyes widened instantly, the local coinage is more than two million yuan, this number is not wrong, but the ......

Li Chengguang rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said, "Father, is there a mistake written on this?" ”

"No mistakes, keep reading!" Li Yuanji shook his head calmly and said.

Li Chengguang forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, according to this information, the coinage of the Haidong provinces was not the three million guan announced before at all, but close to seven million guan, which was more than doubled. And the coinage of the Korean provinces is not more than 1 million guan, but close to 3 million, just two newly included overseas regions, within a year to provide Datang with almost 10 million guan.

And this tens of millions, counting taxes and local coinage, it will take two years for Datang to get so much income.

If this is not shocking, then the following content is enough to shock the shocked Li Chengguang speechless.

Tobe plans to set up several smelting plants in Haidong and the Korean provinces for the first smelting of gold and silver ore, ensuring that more gold and silver can be shipped back to the mainland in the same amount of time.

In particular, in the Haidong provinces, where the mining rate of gold and silver mines is currently known, is less than 10%, and the household department intends to organize local natives to carry out intensive mining work to ensure that more ore can be supplied in a short period of time.

To put it bluntly, this is exploitation, and there are some contents that are not listed above, for example, most of the women in the Haidong provinces were sent to other places, or married to the Han as concubines, and the household department just cooperated with this policy, and at the same time got benefits, they played the natives of the Haidong provinces to death as much as possible.

Because the plan has just been put forward and will take time to complete, it is expected that the two places will be able to provide at least 12 million guan next year, and at least 20 million guan per year from the third year onwards.

How much does 20,000,000 pieces of gold weigh? One tael is equal to consistent, ten taels is equal to one catty, only two million catties of gold, or one million catties of silver are enough, this is not difficult for the entire Haidong.

Li Chengguang was a little puzzled, since the imperial court had so much money, why did he hide this figure? Especially after he saw that the surplus in the back was completely in line with the figures that Huangfu Wuyi said, he was even more depressed.

The money is in the treasury and has been spent, so what is the purpose of doing this?

Rich in Tibet?

Is it necessary for a country to do this?
