Ordnance products, railway materials and other civilian products have made Fuyuan Machinery Factory get rid of the simple arsenal model, but grow into a super enterprise that crosses the military and civilian markets and enters the steel, chemical, machinery and national defense at the same time.

Now the total assets of the company's headquarters directly under the arsenal and many subsidiaries have exceeded 50 million yuan, and its asset scale has long exceeded the scale of the original parent company, Fuyuan Company.

Such a factory is a well-deserved super enterprise in contemporary China and even in the Far East.

The impact of such a behemoth on the local economy of Tangshan is conceivable, and half of the people living in the new urban area of Tangshan are direct or indirect employees of Fuyuan Machinery Factory, and the rest are the families of these employees!

Around this factory, Tangshan has formed a preliminary heavy industry zone, and there are hundreds of private small and medium-sized enterprises in Tangshan to provide supporting services for the factory.

Heavy industry and the development of related industries have increased the tax revenue in Tangshan day by day, and the increase in tax revenue has not only increased the national treasury revenue, but also increased the local government and county land tax.

Taking the location of the Tangshan Administrative Office, the headquarters of Fuyuan Machinery and many directly affiliated and affiliated enterprises, 'Luanzhou City', as an example, the city that just imitated Yingkou at the beginning of this year and changed its name to 'city' is a well-known city in contemporary China, although it is only a county-level city, but it is expected that its fiscal revenue in 1908 is expected to exceed 10 million yuan, not to mention that other cities are dumbfounded, and even other provinces have to be frightened, not to mention what local governments and counties, Henan, Anhui, Shanxi, In these provinces of Yunnan, the annual financial income of a province is only about seven or eight million to 10 million, and you are only a county, and it is not a super city such as Beijing and Shanghai, which has a tax of 10 million a year, how do you let others live!

It's just envy, jealousy and hatred, and there is no way, who makes the super giant of Fuyuanji qì factory on the turf, more than eighty percent of the tens of millions of 'taxes' are contributed by Fuyuanji qì factory and directly affiliated enterprises!

Although most of the tens of millions of taxes have to be handed over to the state treasury, Luanzhou City is still able to leave a considerable amount of taxes as local government expenses.

With a wave of its hand, the wealthy Luanzhou municipal government claimed to build a modern new urban area, while also shouting the slogan of 'Tangshan Industrial Development Zone', trying to integrate the existing industrial plan and build China into the top heavy industrial city in the Far East.

Therefore, with Luanzhou City as the leading city, plus the income of other places, the financial revenue of the Tangshan Administrative Office in 1908 is expected to be about 20 million yuan.

In addition to the three eastern provinces and the Tangshan Administrative Office, it is natural that Zhili can contribute a large amount of income to the Soviet Union, and the economic development of Zhili can only be said to be the same, what was the era of Wang Yingkai, and what is still the case now, plus the Tangshan area is excluded, so the Ministry of Finance predicts that the fiscal revenue of Zhili Province (excluding Tangshan area) in 1908 will be about 30 million yuan.

Then there's Shandong, where the Ministry of Finance expects to be able to collect about 15 million yuan in taxes.

As for Henan, it only collected millions of taxes last year, and even if it has been cracked down on bandits this year and the people's livelihood has recovered, it is not as strong as that, and the Ministry of Finance is expected to be able to collect 10 million yuan, which is not bad, and it may not even have this number, and it is not impossible to only 8'9 million.

Then there is the northern Jiangsu located in the front-line theater, although the northern Jiangsu also belongs to Jiangsu, and Jiangsu is the largest economic province in contemporary China, but they are all Jiangsu, but the southern Jiangsu and the northern Jiangsu are very different, the economic center of gravity of contemporary Jiangsu is almost concentrated in the southern Jiangsu area, and the situation in northern Jiangsu is better than other poor provinces, but it is far from being rich, to put it bluntly, it is also a poor place.

The same is Jiangsu, but southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu cannot be confused!

It is not without reason here, although the northern part of Jiangsu is not small, but the cultivated land area is far less than that of the south of the Yangtze River, and the field endowment in southern Jiangsu has always been extremely heavy, so it can collect a lot of taxes. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the total amount of land in the prefectures and counties of southern Jiangsu was almost more than 6 million, while the total amount of land in northern Jiangsu was less than 100,000.

The most obvious is the three major gold bureaus in Jiangsu in the late Qing Dynasty, one in Songhu, one in Suzhou, and one in Jinling, but there is nothing to do in northern Jiangsu. As for the tariffs, they were all covered by the Su prefectures and counties, and there was nothing to do in northern Jiangsu.

As for the salt administration, the revenue of the salt administration in the late Qing Dynasty was a special income, and strictly it did not belong to the northern Jiangsu administration, and the revenue of the salt administration in the late Qing Dynasty was not included in the financial revenue of northern Jiangsu, but included in the income of Ning.

Having said so much, I just emphasize one point, that is, the fiscal revenue of northern Jiangsu in the late Qing Dynasty was extremely tragic, and in the three-year budget of Xuantong, the revenue of northern Jiangsu was only 660,000 taels, while the prefectures and counties in southern Jiangsu had more than 40 million yuan (including tariffs, salt taxes, etc.), and the fiscal revenue of northern Jiangsu only accounted for 1.6 percent of Jiangsu's fiscal revenue!

Don't be surprised, this number is so exaggerated!

However, this number cannot truly represent the economic level of northern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu, because at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was separated from the income of salt administration, customs duties, tea, tobacco and alcohol, etc., and the income of northern Jiangsu was only 600,000 taels from the list, but the level of northern Jiangsu was naturally far more than this level, for example, the income of salt administration, strictly speaking, should be classified into northern Jiangsu rather than into the Ningxia region, and the tariff revenue should also be allocated to northern Jiangsu, not all to the Soviet region.

If these two items can be returned to the northern Jiangsu region, then the financial revenue of the northern Jiangsu region is far less than that of the southern Jiangsu region, but it will not be so ugly!

In the pre-Qing era, these revenues were included in the Ning or Su genera, but now, Jiangsu has been divided into two halves, and northern Jiangsu under the control of the Soviet system is naturally separated from southern Jiangsu, and Zhao Dongyun naturally cannot take the tariff and salt administration income to Duan Qirui.

Although it is impossible to increase much in Subei Tianfu, the income from salt administration, tariffs, and textiles is still very considerable!

According to the estimate of the Ministry of Finance, although northern Jiangsu was on the front line after the war, it was still expected to reach about 10 million yuan in 1908.

It's just that compared with the level of more than 50 million yuan in southern Jiangsu, it is still very far behind.

On the Anhui side, the Soviet Union only controls the northern Anhui region, and the important city of Anqing is not yet in hand!

Historically, in 1909, the financial revenue of Anhui Province was only more than 6.4 million taels of silver, and now most of the northern Anhui areas controlled by the Soviet Union have been ravaged by war and are located on the front line.

In 1908, the Soviets were expected to collect about 160 million yuan from the three eastern provinces, the Tangshan Administrative Office, Zhili, Shandong, Henan, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, Chahar and other Mongolian regions.

This number looks pretty good, but it's nothing in China.

Taking Zhao Dongyun's biggest competitor Duan Qirui as an example, now he controls the Anhui system in southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, according to the speculation of the Ministry of Finance, if Duan Qirui can maintain the above territory and keep the intensity of taxation in the former Qing state, then he will be able to collect more than 150 million taxes lightly, if Duan Qirui also learns from Zhao Dongyun to rectify the finances, and at the same time increase the amount of taxation in the jurisdiction, then he can easily surpass the Soviet system. It is not impossible to go straight to the 200 million mark in the end.

Moreover, Duan Qirui does not have as much baggage as Zhao Dongyun, and the taxes he collects can be used to maintain administrative operations and expand the army, no matter how much he owes in a mess.

However, Zhao Dongyun, since he became the president of the republican government, and successively recognized the treaties signed by the former Qing Dynasty and the foreign powers, even though he obtained the aftermath loans, he was also burdened with a heavy burden, and the foreign loans and indemnity principal and interest that need to be repaid every year alone are tens of millions.

So just compared to the financial situation, the Su system led by Zhao Dongyun was completely defeated by Duan Qirui's Anhui system!

However, the hegemony between the warlords is not more money than anyone else, to say that there is more money, the previous Southern Federation had more money, and it was not the same as being beaten out by the Beiyang warlords who were poor and couldn't even get out of the military budget.

"Next year's budget revenue is initially set at 160 million yuan, but it will also change with the change of the situation, if our army can cross the river and take the Jiangnan region, then with Jiangnan, the financial revenue can be increased by more than 50 million yuan!" Although Zhou Xuexi is not one of the militants in the military, he has always supported the military in preparing to cross the river in the south, if nothing else, just to take Jiangnan.

If Jiangnan can be taken, even if it costs tens of millions of dollars, it will be worth it.

But just as Fengtian and Tangshan are the core territories of the Soviet system, Zhao Dongyun's life's root, Jiangnan is also the core control area of the Anhui system, and Duan Qirui's life's root.

In order to hold Jiangnan, Duan Qirui not only transferred troops from Jiangxi, Guangdong and other provinces to the north for reinforcements, but also quickly formed new troops, although Duan Qirui was also short of money, but the financial situation was much better than Zhao Dongyun, saying that the new formation of the new troops, there is no need to be like Zhao Dongyun, the formation plan of the 14th Division and the 15th Division has been proposed for half a year, and now a 14th Division has been formed, as for the 15th Division, there is only a small brigade that is not satisfied with the formation, and I don't know how long it will take to be formed.

To take Jiangnan, it is definitely not that easy!

In order to prepare for the plan to continue to cross the river in the south, the Soviet Feng army had already begun preparations in December, and it still had not been able to complete the preparations.

After Zhou Xuexi imagined how much tax he could collect after taking Jiangnan, he didn't think too long, and soon said here: "Although it is expected that we can collect about 16,000 yuan in taxes this year, the large-scale taxation will be concentrated in the summer tax and autumn tax, and in recent months, the tax situation will be more difficult." ”

Zhao Dongyun said at this time: "Everyone knows the difficulties in recent months, you don't have to worry too much, the first batch of money borrowed for the aftermath is used for war expenses, which is initially enough, and the military will not increase the financial pressure on the government in the short term!" ”

Although Zhou Xuexi said this, he didn't think so, the military would not come to increase the financial pressure on the government? Just kidding, it's impossible.

Once a war starts, how long will the five million pounds be spent? When the front line runs out of shells and bullets, you see if Zhao Dongping will ask for money from himself!
