January 1 of the second year of the Han Dynasty, night, the imperial study. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the flickering candlelight, Zhu Xia finished reading the report submitted by Xiao He, and did eye exercises, and the room was very warm, so Zhu Xia was just wearing a black straight coat. He suddenly said, "Did you get it?"
"Back to the king, the ink beauty seems to have no intention of hurting the king, this dagger was hidden by her, and the slave succeeded, the king, what should I do next?" I don't know when, Ling'er, the master of the Bird Pavilion, suddenly appeared in the imperial study, presented a dagger, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head to report.
"Let Tianjilou cooperate with you, give Lonely, put this dagger next to Wenhou's pillow!"
It is unrealistic to tear his face immediately and capture Wenguo, and in the past month, only the counties and villages can be preliminarily built, and the people can only initially settle down, and there is still a lot of work to be done, plus there was a preliminary test in February.
So in this way, to deter Wenhou.
"Back to the king, the Wen Palace is heavily defended, I am afraid that there is no way to do it with the power of only two departments, if the four departments work together, there may be a little possibility, but the failure rate is too high." Ling'er's face turned embarrassed, and then said: "But if you give Bird Pavilion a year, there is a certain chance that it will reach this step."
"Really? Lonely, it seems a little whimsical! Zhu Xia frowned and said, thinking about it, if it is really so easy, if you can put the dagger next to the pillow of the enemy monarch, you can easily kill it, and if the king of a country is killed, the country will definitely be in chaos.
In addition, even if the monarch is killed, the monarchs of all countries know about it, empathize with it, and worry that they will be like this one day, and they will definitely attack it en masse!
So this kind of behavior is obviously immature!
"Forget it, in the name of returning the gift, send it back! As for the return gifts, they are mainly sea salt, paper, lanterns, deer antlers, deer skins, musk, and frog oil. After Zhu Xia finished speaking, he opened his eyes and glanced at Ling'er.
The main ingredient of frog oil is frog alcohol, which has the effect of "nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the essence, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs". It is used for the treatment of symptoms such as "yin deficiency and weakness, fatigue, palpitations, insomnia, night sweats, and coughing up blood".
At present, most of the territory of the Han Kingdom is the Liaodong hills, the Liaodong hills belong to the remaining veins of the Changbai Mountain, and what Zhuxia wants most is the Liaohe Plain, the Liaohe Plain is up, the Songnen Plain, the northeast of the Songnen Plain, and the Sanjiang Plain.
At present, the Liaohe Plain is the closest to the Han Kingdom, but it is being invaded by the Hu people, especially the Liaoxi Corridor.
Therefore, there are many next steps for Zhuxia, first, to open up the route to Qingzhou, that is, the Dongshan Peninsula, and understand the current situation in the world; Second, defeat the Wudao family, plunder the Japanese people, and enrich the wings of the Eight Banners as soon as possible; Third, it is to defeat the Hu people, recapture the Han land-Liaoxi corridor, and then build Shanhaiguan.
The establishment of Shanhaiguan is naturally not to defend against the Hu people, but to watch the Yan land, guard against the Yan land, and reclaim the Liaohe Plain on a large scale, and later generations of China can turn the Great Northern Wilderness into the Great Northern Warehouse, and Zhuxia can naturally use a large number of slaves to reclaim the Liaohe Plain and obtain a huge amount of grain.
By using trade to obtain phosphate rock from Qingzhou, the grain output can make a big leap forward, and at that time, as long as the Han State can have 100,000 people with grain for five years, that is, 1.5 million, the surplus grain can be sold to the outside world and the national treasury will be abundant.
In the past month, Zhuxia has used nine hundred gold, which is an astronomical amount for before, but for a Zhuxia who has copied countless families, it can still withstand it, and there are still more than ten thousand gold deposits in the treasury of the Han State.
In this year's budget, the cabinet alone needs to invest 11,000 gold, and the military budget has also reached 4,000 gold, and the Ministry of Intelligence is even more of a place to spend money, which needs 5,000 gold, and Yushitai, Chao Cuo, is also very domineering and asks for 3,000 gold.
A total of 24,000 gold, that is to say, there is still a gap of 14,000 gold, and it is impossible for Zhuxia to put treasury bonds, which is not the afterlife.
So, Zhu Xia decided to correct the mistake in person, if you can't say a word, I'll give it to you, no, Xiao He summed up all the places that the cabinet needs to spend money and gave it to him.
The first is the employment fee, after February, the scale of employment will be gradually reduced, but this alone will cost 3,000 gold, just seeing this, Zhu Xia will be cowardly.
This was followed by various expenditures such as official salaries, education expenditures, public facilities, medicine and health, agriculture, shipbuilding expenditures, craftsman expenditures, tree planting expenditures, construction expenditures, and palace expenditures, which required a total of 6,000 gold.
Finally, there is the 369 imperial examination, which requires 600 gold expenditures, and the rest is reserved.
Zhu Xia looked around, wanting to find one that could be saved, but found that there seemed to be nothing to save, and Zhu Xia did not dare to throw the burden to the businessman, let the businessman contract the project, in order to make money, they could do anything.
All kinds of quality in later generations are not up to standard, how dare Zhu Xia?
There is also this bridge-building project, contracted to businessmen, must cut corners, and even set up a checkpoint, every time you pass by, you have to pay money, isn't this just hindering the flow of people? The inability of people to move is equivalent to the inability of money and goods to flow.
The large economic circle of later generations is not because of the rapid flow of people, and the Han County, Zhuanghe County, Su County and other places in Zhuxia rely on the sea to quickly carry out transportation and material exchange, which is actually a prototype economic circle.
There are also economic circles in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, don't they all rely on the Yangtze River for rapid flow and become prosperous? Relying solely on land transportation is too slow. The flow of people means that the flow of money and goods is slow.
The establishment of each Grand Canal in history means that the region will eventually become prosperous, and this prosperity is developed by relying on waterways, and only interests and strategic needs can establish the Grand Canal.
The budget of the Military Aircraft Department is mainly military expenditure, equipment expenditure, training expenditure, cavalry training, food expenditure, war death pension, welfare expenditure, etc.
It seems that in the end, the expenditure of the Imperial Historical Observatory was changed to 2,000 gold, and the expenditure of the cabinet was changed to 11,000 gold, but there was still a gap of 12,000 gold, and even if Zhuxia's inner treasury was added, there was still a gap of 9,000 gold.
"Dump the goods. Send someone to Wenguo to dump goods, and follow this trip to return the gift. "There is really no way, Zhu Xia can only come up with such an idea.
Of course, there is still income in addition, the first is the rental of chickens and ducks; second, the sale and rental of slaves; The third is the library and evening school; The fourth is business, villas, shops and other real estate.
Many scholars and businessmen have purchased real estate and shops in various counties, especially the land price in Han County, which is getting higher and higher day by day, of course, shops can only be rented, and the maximum can only be rented for 20 years, but there is the right to renew the contract first.
There are ready-made villas, there are also plots, and some trenches are not satisfied with the existing ones, so they can buy a piece of land, then draw their own design drawings, and then hire a construction team to build the villa.
In addition to these five, only the entertainment area has a relatively high income.
