"Your Majesty, since four years ago, the empire has invested in a total of 347 new factories, including 111 military factories, including 32 rifle factories, 27 machine gun factories, 11 artillery factories, 22 tank factories, and 19 ammunition factories. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info invested a total of 257 million taels of silver, of which 81 million taels were workers' wages and daily expenses.

Of the remaining 236 factories, there are 30 steel plants, and most of the rest are civilian factories. A total of 200 million taels of silver was invested, of which 170 million taels of silver were invested in workers' wages and daily expenses.

Because most of the raw materials needed by military factories are directly taken from civilian factories, we only calculate the labor cost of raw materials, that is, the transportation cost, and in the past four years, the transportation task has been carried out 120,000 times, and the total number of people invested is 1.09 million, and the cost per person is about three taels of silver each time, so the labor cost is 3.27 million taels of silver.

The cost of materials in civilian factories is much higher, even if we occupy various advantages, we need to spend money to buy raw materials, a total of 23 million taels of silver have been spent in the past four years, and we have only paid labor costs for domestic raw materials, but the labor costs are still high, so the labor costs of more than 200 civilian factories in the past four years have totaled nearly 100 million taels of silver.

Over the past four years, the empire has invested a total of 530.27 million taels of silver in industrial construction. Ren Tiangao said in one breath the total industrial investment of the empire in the past four years.

530.27 million, is this a lot? Looking at it now, it is indeed a lot, the total annual tax revenue of the Qing government is only 80 million taels of silver, and the empire was established only for one year, and Wang Sirui controlled the Qing Empire for only four years, and invested 530 million taels of silver for industrial construction, with an average annual investment of 132.5 million taels of silver, which is 50 million taels more than the annual tax revenue of the Qing government.

In the pre-Qing period, how much was the annual investment in industrial construction? It would be good to have five million taels of silver, most of which were organized by the local governments themselves.

Of course, if it weren't for Wang Sirui's lightning control of the capital, first snatching the funds that were originally robbed by them from the hands of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then looting the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he entered Beijing for the second time, Wang Sirui would not have so much money for industrial construction.

Although there is a lot of investment, it is estimated that a large number of people will be directly scared to death, but Wang Sirui is obviously still a little dissatisfied with this result, and the speed of spending money is too slow.

Because, after two robberies, the 530 million taels of silver had just accounted for half of the looting results.

Although nearly 1.1 billion taels of silver were looted at the beginning, Wang Sirui was really shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, this still doesn't seem to be enough.

The Qing Empire ruled for more than 200 years, and how many princes and nobles were there? It's the eight major ********, not to mention more, after more than 200 years, at least one person should have a deposit of 100 million yuan in his family, right? Wang Sirui always felt that these people seemed to be hiding their secrets, but he didn't know where they were hiding.

Suddenly, Wang Sirui wanted to shout, there were always Diao people who wanted to harm me. But the income of nearly 1.1 billion yuan is also very satisfactory to him, of course, in fact, so far, Wang Sirui has basically spent the 1.1 billion funds, and what he still has in his hands is even less than 50 million.

The other half was thrown into the army, otherwise, do you really think that the more than a million troops can go to the front line with one gun? If you don't have money, who will go? Although Wang Sirui is the emperor and has the protagonist's aura bonus, he never thought about daydreaming......

Of course, if you really think that Wang Sirui only has less than 50 million left in his hands, then you can only say that you are too naïve.

These 50 million are the remaining 1.1 billion miles, and it took Wang Sirui four years to almost make the 1.1 billion yuan. Similarly, Wang Sirui has not moved a cent of his income in the past four years.

Although there were some wars in the middle, which led to a sharp drop in the revenue of the central government, but in four years, no, to be precise, in three years, the imperial government still had about 150 million taels of tax revenue in its hands.

Although it is not much, but in case of emergency, it is no problem to use it for a year, and if you save a little, you can delay it for two years.

At the same time, Wang Sirui and the Ford factory are earning him enough foreign exchange, not only in the United States, but also in the United States, some of the cars manufactured by the Ford factory production base in Yanjing are shipped to the United States, and some are shipped to Europe, and with the terrifying sales of Ford cars, Wang Sirui controls no less than 500 million US dollars overseas.

Therefore, don't look at Wang Sirui now, he doesn't have much money on the surface, and he has to cry poor everywhere, but if there is really a person who knows the bottom of the matter to dig it up, then you will find that Wang Sirui is definitely one of the richest people in the world.

"In terms of income, because the military factory absorbs part of the profits of the steel plant, and the steel plant is responsible for the construction of the railway, as well as the supply of raw materials for some other government projects, so the steel plant is all in a loss-making state, but in general, the loss is only labor costs, and after the completion of the national project in the future, the steel plant will gradually begin to make profits.

Other factories are profitable and loss-making, but the overall situation is not bad, so in terms of civilian factories, a total of 410 million taels of silver has been made in recent years.

The most profitable enterprises in the country are the textile industry and the salt industry, and the three large yarn factories and ten large garment factories invested by the state have a total income of 130 million taels of silver in the past two years, excluding expenses.

Due to the government's introduction of relevant control policies and the investment in the construction of several large-scale salt factories, the total income of the salt industry in recent years has been 7.4 million taels of silver. Ren Tiangao said.

Wang Sirui nodded, 7.4 million taels of silver is indeed too small compared to the 130 million in front, but compared with the hundreds of factories in the back, the profit of the salt industry is indeed not low.

The total income of 410 million taels, these are the sum of the output that has been continuously invested in the past four years, on average, the annual income is 100 million taels, compared with the total investment of 530 million taels, it is still a loss overall.

But it must be taken into account that most of the 530 million taels are used in the military industry, which is a guy who can only swallow money and cannot make a profit in a short period of time.

After all, the investment is basically a one-time investment, and the state is no longer required to invest in the future, but the annual profits will only increase, unless the economic collapse leads to a collapse, otherwise the profits will not be less and less.

And with a large number of factories to invest, the future will only get better and better.

However, after the state has invested in more than 300 factories, Wang Sirui has no intention of continuing to invest by the state, after all, state-owned enterprises are not a long-term solution, and individual enterprises must be introduced.

In fact, this is the same path as the Republic in later generations, except that Wang Sirui woke up earlier than the Republic, and he did not expect those state-owned enterprises to have to seek reform because they lived too long and had difficulty supporting workers and retired workers because of the profits of the following year.

Therefore, in Wang Sirui's mind, state-owned enterprises only play the role of a vanguard army, they just want to bring in those rich businessmen in China, and then slowly sell some less important state-owned enterprises to private individuals, and let those private enterprises do the headache.

In the same way, the effect of private enterprises to engage in industry is much faster than that of state-owned enterprises, after all, the country's energy is limited, it is impossible to cover everything, and how much can state-owned enterprises occupy such a large market in the country?

Therefore, starting from now, these enterprises have begun to face reforms, and they must be reformed as soon as possible. Of course, this reform is not a fire-sale reform like in later generations, but at least two companies in each industry will be retained, and all the rest will be sold off.

The two left behind are mainly high-end and technology research and development, after all, Wang Sirui still wants to maximize profits, and at the same time, he is also trying to pit those guys.

"Well, on the whole, the achievements of industrial construction in the past few years are still worthy of recognition, but these are far from enough, and there is more that the imperial government needs to do." Wang Sirui first nodded and affirmed the achievements of industrial construction, and then turned his head to look at Wang Shizhen, he felt that the time seemed to have come, whether the country could take off or not, it depended on whether the plan could be successful.

"Immediately after the return of the Reich, the Imperial Government was to introduce a commercial measure, in which the State would encourage private financing to set up factories, and the State would be responsible for the purchase of the necessary equipment, and would guarantee that not a penny of profit would be made from it. If they have the money, or land, and want to start a factory, the state can sell them a piece of land at the best price, or the state can buy the surplus land in the hands of the landlord and help them build the factory. Regardless of the situation of the factory, the state takes the technology as a shareholder, accounting for no less than 10% of the factory's shares, and the state is only responsible for providing technical support to them and dispatching financial personnel to inspect without interfering in specific operations. Wang Sirui directly said what he meant.

That's right, it is to invest in technology, and now is the most appropriate time, state-owned enterprises have been operating for a long time, and they are relatively familiar with the technical aspects, and it is no problem to support some small factories.

Similarly, in the future, state-owned enterprises in various countries will set up R&D teams to constantly update and improve technology, so that those private enterprises can get the latest technology without investment, and pay only 10% or more of the shares.

On another level, if you do this, the government will be more profitable, because in addition to taxes, it will also have this 10 percent equity dividend.

It's not because Wang Sirui is really greedy for money, but now that the country is poor and white, he wants to sell cars in China, but what road in Nima can make cars run? How can you feed the army without making money? How to build a road? (To be continued.) )
