When Duan Qirui and others received Wang Bin's news, they immediately changed the location of the army to Shanhaiguan, and for a while, the military strength of four towns was secretly stationed not far from Shanhaiguan, waiting for an opportunity.

Wang Bin's little action was all told to the Empress Dowager Longyu under Wang Yingkai's intentionally or unintentionally, and in the face of all kinds of evidence taken out by Wang Yingkai, Longyu felt more and more the urgency of time.

So during this period of time, Longyu has been preparing for the southern tour, compared to Wang Bin's side, it is much more comfortable, and there is no sense of tension at all.

After issuing an order to Duan Qirui and others, Xiong Xiling completed all the statistics of various things and taxes in 1906 and really reported to Wang Bin.

"My lord, in the past year, the tax revenue of the industrial zone and the commercial zone finally accounted for the majority of all tax revenue, although there is a tax exemption policy, but the economy generated by the consumption of materials in these two places every day is also very large."

When Xiong Xiling said to Wang Bin in an excited tone.

Wang Bin is more concerned about how much tax revenue has been collected in the past year.

"Well, this official knows for the time being, but what the official is most concerned about is how much tax revenue last year was."

"My lord, last year, our tax revenue reached more than 19 million taels of silver, which is a full 8 million taels more than the year before."

As soon as Wang Bin heard Xiong Xiling's words, he calculated in his heart, the year before was about 11 million taels of silver, and this year was 8 million taels more than the year before.

But you have to know that your territory this year is two more provinces than the year before, and even if these two provinces are added, this tax is only more than eight million taels of silver.

It seems that Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province have spent a lot of money.

After thinking of this, Wang Bin suddenly thought that the military expenses for the war with the Japanese, as well as the expenses such as post-war compensation, were not a small number, and he didn't know if there would be some surplus in the finances.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Bin was eager to know if there was a balance between taxes and expenses.

After Wang Bin said this to Xiong Xiling.

Xiong Xiling had already prepared, and immediately took out dozens of pieces of paper, all of which were some expenses and income in 1906, as well as some related information.

From the information given by Xiong Xiling, Wang Bin can clearly see that although the tax has increased a lot in the past year, it is inevitable that there will be more places to spend money.

Originally, I just needed to pay attention to the place of Fengtian, but the investment to be made in Heilongjiang and Jilin was not a small number.

First of all, there was the problem of public security in the early stage, just to exterminate all the beards in these two provinces cost more than 3 million taels of silver, but all the more than 3 million taels of silver were compensated from the bandits' dens.

There were also more than 2 million taels of silver, and after this batch of silver was collected, it was all used for the livelihood of Heilongjiang and Jilin.

But this batch of silver alone was not enough, and later two million taels of silver were added one after another.

This was followed by the Sino-Japanese War, in which military expenditures and logistical supplies alone, as well as various post-war expenditures, amounted to 7 million taels, as well as investment in road construction and education during this period.

In 1906, the expenditure for a year amounted to more than 15 million taels, which had already exceeded the tax revenue of the previous year, and only a surplus of 3 million taels remained.

Moreover, judging from the current expenses, the surplus of three million taels and the two million taels of money and silver in the original treasury are still somewhat insufficient.

First of all, the highways in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces are still under construction, and the construction period is only one-fifth completed, and the immigration in the customs area is a huge expense.

Since last year, after the living conditions of the grassroots people in the three eastern provinces have become better and better, there has been a steady stream of people in the customs area who have heard how low the tax revenue outside the customs is and how good the public order is.

Even the people who have just arrived in the three eastern provinces will be exempt from taxes, and suddenly many ordinary people will come to the customs with their families.

In Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, which were already somewhat sparsely populated, the population suddenly rose a lot, and in these two provinces one after another, Wang Bin moved in nearly 10 million people to strengthen his control over Jilin and Heilongjiang, two provinces close to the border.

With such a large population, it naturally costs a lot, and in addition, Wang Bin has increased the number of patrol police on the basis of the original army in these two provinces to combat the public security problems caused by the large number of people moving in.

After reading this kind of information, Wang Bin finally had a general understanding of all the expenses last year, and Xiong Xiling's financial ability is really not covered.

So much content can be organized so well, if you let yourself organize it, I'm afraid it will be more and more messy.

"Yes, it seems that the current financial situation is still in a virtuous circle, although the expenditure is getting bigger and bigger, but it is still within the scope of the financial allowability."

After Wang Bin said this, Xiong Xiling also said a little modestly below.

"There, these are all the merits of the adults, if there are no adults, how can the three eastern provinces have the grand occasion they have today, otherwise these beards alone are enough, and how can they reach the point where the great powers have some attention now."

In fact, because of Wang Bin's vigorous development of the three eastern provinces, the equal social environment and a large number of opportunities, many businessmen have attracted a lot of businessmen to invest, and then there is a strong army as a guarantee of status, if the three eastern provinces do not prosper again, it is simply intolerable.

Xiong Xiling's sycophant slapped Wang Bin's heart and made Wang Bin a little fluttery.

Although it was a little fluttering, Wang Bin still did not forget the important things.

"This time, I called Xiling to come over and there is one more thing I need to ask, if there is a sudden large amount of expenditure on the finances, will you be a little nervous."

Wang Bin's question Xiong Xiling was clueless, but from Wang Bin's tone, Xiong Xiling still guessed that the adult estimated a plan or something.

When he opened his mouth and said: "It depends on what kind of expenditure the adults have, if it is within three million taels, although the finances are tight, it can still be maintained, and once it exceeds three million taels, the subordinates will be powerless." ”

After listening to Xiong Xiling's words, Wang Bin thought for a while, and estimated that three million taels of silver was enough, and all he had to do was wait for the actions of the imperial court. (To be continued.) )
