"Shisun, now there are 111,376 households, including the people, officials, generals and the Ming clan, including the people, officials, generals and the Ming clan, totaling 428,457 people, of which 191,105 young and strong people are counted in Ding Yin, and 38,221 taels of silver can be levied according to the calculation of two coins a year. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info) "Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has arrived in November, and the household department, which was finally busy with the autumn levy and verification, finally came up with Dongning's household registration and field report. "Another 38,987 acres and 43 acres of land were calculated; Among them, there are 37,105 acres of grain fields and 43 acres, and 1,882 acres of mulberry fields; The grain field Chinese military attache Tian 4,105 jia and 17 mu, the clan family support the family of the field 93 Jia exempt from taxation, and after deducting the number of exemptions for the people of Xintun and Qiantun, the summer and autumn two endowments were 77,684 23 cents and 4 cents of silver. These are all true colors, if you add the folding color and additional levy, the total amount of the feudal domain's calculation and field endowment next year should be more than 150,000 taels. ”

Zheng Kezang was stunned, this seems to be different from what he calculated at the beginning? Influenced carefully, folded and leved, he suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the big head, but suddenly after that, he sighed deeply, because the tax income of 150,000 taels can definitely account for more than half of the annual income of the people of Dongning.

"The burden of the people is heavy!" Zheng Kezhang sighed, and then asked. "How much tax can a city household collect in a year?" This is actually asking about the geometry of business taxes. "In addition, how much income can be earned in a year by Yingpantian, Salt Farm and Guanzhong Workshop? If Ding Yin is removed from next year, will it shake the finances of the domain? ”

Yang Ying frowned, it was Zheng Kezhang who personally denied the decision to exempt Tian Fu before, and now he suddenly came out to exempt the mouth Fu, what does this mean? Are you happy with the household?

However, Zheng Kezang's words could not help but reply, so he replied with a frown: "The total number of existing urban households and artisan households in Chengtianfu and Erzhou counties is only more than 50,000 people, of which half of them work in the official workshops or in the merchant fleet of the domain, and a few cars, dentists, doctors, media, shops, and merchants only pay five hundred taels of silver a year. ”

This figure makes Zheng Kezhang very smacked, but it is conceivable that Taiwan's society has degenerated from the budding capitalism in the late Ming Dynasty to a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.

"There are 1,926 acres and 53 acres of land in the Guanzhong camp, and now they are all replanted with sugarcane, and it is strange that 175,000 taels of sugar can be harvested." This figure fully shows that the sugar industry has become the largest source of profit for Dongning, and it is not too much to describe it as a lifeline. "The total income of the rest of the salt works and workshops is about 35,000 taels, and the annual tribute of the local society is also about 30,000 taels. Yang Ying's words paused. "But if you can transfer the proceeds of the Limin Treasury to the government, maybe you can"

"Liminku?" Zheng Kezhang cut off Yang Ying's words, and immediately shook his head, the so-called Limin Treasury was originally the Zheng Treasury established by Zheng Tai to provide credit for the Five Merchants and Ten Banks and downstream distributors, but after Zheng Tai's death, it has evolved into the Inner Treasury controlled by Zhu Jin himself, and its income mainly comes from the ship capital and profits of the ocean-going merchant fleet, and it was used as the main source of military expenses for Ming and Zheng before. "This is not good, although there is no war for the time being, but the Limin Treasury has long been empty, how can I still get the money."

Zheng Kezang's words are actually nine true and one false, it is true that there is not much money in the Limin treasury, but there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver, and with the operation of the Zheng family's merchant ships, this number continues to increase, but this money has always been in the hands of Zhu Jin himself, and Zheng Kezhang is not easy to use.

But Yang Ying is not easy to get along with, seeing that Zheng Kezhang can't let go of his mouth on the Limin Treasury, he started the idea of Zheng Kezang's private money, his logic is very simple, anyway, Zheng Kezhang asked for a tax reduction, and he had to fill this hole out of his own pocket: "Or ask the grandson to put the income from the Ryukyus into the official." ”

Zheng Kezhang chuckled, Yang Ying's nose is really smart, but unfortunately even if Zheng Kezhang can agree, but the whale trade in the Ryukyus has just begun, and the benefits are still floating clouds, of course, Zheng Kezhang can't say that, so he found an excuse: "The business of the Ryukyus is related to whether the closure order can be broken, and most of the money earned will be used to bribe the Qing army, so Lord Yang doesn't have to mention it in the future." ”

Yang Ying's face collapsed as soon as he heard this, the Limin Treasury could not be used, and the small treasury of the Ryukyus was also untouchable, Zheng Kezang was hard to give up his money, and all the problems were thrown on his head, and the summoner did not do so, so he was a little angry and immediately said: "This can't be done, but the household ministry really has no money, otherwise, how about taking back Fu Ningbo's sugar house?" ”

Take back Zheng Cong's candy house that can earn 30,000 or 40,000 taels a year, so don't let Zheng Cong and Zheng Kezhang work hard. In the case that Zheng Kezang has not completely grasped the overall situation of the year, this Jian Yiyi, who seems to be thinking about the officials, is simply a little ill-intentioned. Therefore, Zheng Kezhang glanced at Yang Ying seemingly casually, and had already sentenced the other party's government to death in his heart.

Receiving the chill in Zheng Kezang's eyes, Yang Ying suddenly sobered up, and when he realized that he had said the wrong thing, he immediately chose to keep silent about what he had just said.

However, the matter of recovering the sugar liao is over, but the problem of insufficient use after the tax reduction still needs to be solved, so Yang Ying proposed another suggestion: "It's really not possible to discuss with the people of Yingguili, can you buy less goods." ”

In fact, the goods imported by the Yingguili people were composed of two parts, one part of which was prepared by Zheng Kezhang for the Boy Scouts and paid for by himself, while the other part such as Indian homespun cloth, iron ore, saltpeter and the like were all urgently needed by the ministry, and naturally the officials paid for them, and Yang Ying obviously meant to cut the procurement of the officials.

"It's not easy." On the one hand, Dongning has reached the point where there is nothing to get hold of except commercial credit, on the other hand, canvas is wanted by the Ministry of Households, iron ore is wanted by the Ministry of Industry, and saltpeter is wanted by the Ministry of War. "That's good, the number of oral endowments will be cut in half from next year, and then the remaining part will be spread into the fields, so that the people may have less burden, and the officials don't have to be too tight."

Spread into acres? Yang Ying's face changed for a long time before he spoke: "Shisun, this has to be recalculated for the field endowment, down to the state and county to the household department, the fish scale book has to be changed, the project is too huge, it can't be done in ten days and half a month, and how should this apportionment be apportioned, is it calculated according to the current total amount of Ding Yin or the number of Ding Yin that may increase in three or five years?" Is it necessary to strip off the Yingpan field, the Zongwang homeland field, and the civil and military officer field? ? This is all made clear by the grandson. As for whether the burden of some people will be higher after the apportionment than before the apportionment, we must carefully calculate them one by one. ”

"Of course, the property of Yingpan Tian must be stripped away, and the total amount of Ding Yin will naturally be fixed at today's amount, so as not to make the peasants suffer." Zheng Kezhang was very dissatisfied with Yang Ying's attitude of pushing back and forth, and his tone was a little stiff. "As for the calculations? It's hard to count the remainder. The project is huge! "Of course, Zheng Kezhang will not implement it at this moment, because according to history, Zhu Jin will hang up early next year, and of course this moral policy must be left to himself to implement later." Half a year and a year, the rest can wait. ”

Yang Ying saw that Zheng Kezhang seemed to be iron-hearted, and immediately had no choice but to accept it, but the problem was not completely solved: "This is what it should be to cultivate with the people, and the people of Dongning will inevitably feel the grace of their grandchildren, but the annual loss of officials is 20,000 taels, how can this be compensated." ”

"Twenty thousand taels?" Zheng Kezhang calculated that in the past few months, the expedition battalion has also grabbed a little bit in the South China Sea, almost three or five thousand taels, and with this figure, it is more than enough to make up for the holes in the household department in a year, so he will take it all over. "This matter will be resolved." Yang Ying's face was a little pale, but then he sank down because of Zheng Kezang's words. "In addition, my father intends to enjoy the lanterns and enjoy the people during this year's Shangyuan Festival, and the household department should prepare early."

"Lantern appreciation on the Yuan Festival?" Yang Ying asked at the moment. "How many are you going to prepare?"

"Father's meaning is that there will be lanterns arranged on one prefecture, two states, two counties, and Kunshen Mountain, so there will be 50,000 lanterns."

Zheng Kezhang arranged it like this, he knew that in another time and space, another Zheng Kezhang had dissuaded Zhu Jin's whitewashing of the peace this time on the grounds of labor and money-of course, it may not have been without venting his anger at Zhu Jin's forced death of Chen Yonghua - but he couldn't, he had been with Zhu Jin for so many days, this man was good to himself, Zheng Kezhang had a full view, so when Zhu Jin's fire of life was about to be extinguished, he naturally wanted to meet Zhu Jin's last wish, Because this is not only a manifestation of the filial piety of the father and the son, but also a way to show his legitimacy in politics.

"At least 50,000 lanterns?" Yang Ying's eyes were about to bulge. "I'm afraid this will cost 10,000 taels of silver." Yang Ying looked like her father was dead. "Shisun, the household is about to run rats, where did you get these ten thousand taels, no, no, the minister wants to face the king and dissuade the king."

"Enough! Lord Yang! Zheng Kezhang looked at Yang Ying with a sinking face. If there is no money in the household department, will Lord Yang mention a tax reduction before? Zheng Kezhang almost didn't point at Yang Ying's nose and scolded him again for going back on his word and scheming. The matter is so decided, 10,000 taels, even if you squeeze it, you have to squeeze it out. ”

"This, this," Yang Ying trembled, Zheng Kezang's sternness had already explained a problem, that is, Zheng Kezhang couldn't bear it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and turned over to the ground. "Since the king and the grandson have made up their minds, they will definitely do it."

"That's good," Zheng Kezhang waved his hand. "Lord Yang, go get busy."

Waiting for Yang Ying to walk out, Zheng Kezhang touched the short beard on his chin and groaned, Yang Ying's reaction was really abnormal, he shouldn't just sit on Feng Xifan's side, but his son Yang Jie is still serving as the team leader in Kunlun's first bid at the moment, and he should be a little bit of a mouse-thrower, speaking of which, there is still no royal eyes and ears like Jinyiwei and Dongchang, so he can't grasp the dynamics of hundreds of officials, and it seems that once he inherits the throne, he will have to set up an internal intelligence unit."
