(Ten years after graduation, I will go back to my alma mater tomorrow to attend the party, and I will take three to four days off)

Haizhou prospered because of the army, the military port, the camp city, and the logistics system brought a large number of people, and the huge military market attracted a large number of new factory owners, merchants, craftsmen, and hired workers, so that Haizhou showed a thriving prosperity in a short period of time.

At the same time, Haizhou is a new harbor city, so Haizhou can be built more with the mind of the forest.

Lin Jian nominally came to Haizhou to supervise the army and preside over the northern command, but after he arrived in Haizhou, he left his daily military affairs to Gao Zongting, Wu Qi, and Ge Cunxin, and his own thoughts were mainly on the construction of Haizhou City Port.

In order to facilitate direct interference in Haizhou's government affairs, Lin Jian made Haizhou Governor Luo Yicheng concurrently lead the Northern Command.

The branch of Haizhou City was originally planned and budgeted, and Lin Tie intervened, especially Lin Tie had some unbelievable new ideas pouring out from time to time, and the local officials of Haizhou Mansion were naturally happy, but they made the Jianghuai Xuanfu Envoy and the Privy Council complain.

By November, seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Lin Mengde had to come to Haizhou in person to persuade Lin to interfere in local government affairs.

"Grandpa Guo, don't you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are," Lin Mengde sat down in front of Lin Jian with a bitter face, and complained, "If you go to Haizhou for a month, the Haizhou Mansion will report the additional expenses of 300,000 silver dollars to the Huaidong Xuanfu Envoy. Luo Yicheng, this kid, didn't have any kind eyes, and he wished to get some silver for Haizhou. Holding your words, go to the Huaidong Xuanfu Envoy, and the Huaidong Xuanfu Envoy is not, but where can an additional 300,000 silver dollars be allocated this year? I can only go to the top of the Privy Council - I have brought the Privy Council's invitation list sent by the November Flying Horse, and you will read them one by one for Mengde, to see which silver should be allocated and which should not be allocated? ”

In the Privy Council, Lin Mengde had the highest qualifications and the most merits, and Luo Yicheng said two words of no, sitting on the side and unable to speak.

Lin Jian watched Lin Mengde open the small wooden basket he was carrying, took out a handful of letter folds, grinned, pushed the letter folds back to Lin Mengde, and said, "You are the big housekeeper, you can't approve the money, just reject it." That's good, forget it this year, the Privy Council will squeeze out an extra 300,000 silver dollars for Haizhou next year; If there is anything missing, I will arrest Qian Xiaowu and see if the inner government can squeeze out some......"

"200,000 silver dollars are up to the sky," Lin Mengde bargained, "The lord still wants more, to see if the military department can squeeze some out from elsewhere, next year the Privy Council's allocation to the military will be increased to 14 million silver dollars, and an additional 100,200,000 should be squeezed out, which should be convenient." In the unlikely event that there is a catastrophe like this in western Zhejiang next year, the Privy Council will also have to keep the silver in its hands for emergency ......"

"The military department wants to support 400,000 people, and although the withdrawal will be increased, it will increase the armament of 30,000 to 50,000 people next year, but it will not be able to squeeze out much extra silver." Gao Zongting sat aside, listening to Lin Mengde about to burn the fire to the head of the military headquarters, and quickly pushed it off.

"If the land tax of the new land tax is postponed and transferred to the local government, the central center should be able to get an extra four or five million silver ......dollars a year," Liu Shidu, who served as Jianghuai's propaganda envoy, said on the side.

"Sooner or later, this will have to be subsumed into the local government, and now we have to make a ruthless decision, and we can't hesitate," Lin Jian said, "200,000 silver dollars is 200,000 silver dollars, and it won't be embarrassing to dream ......."

After the new tax policy, Lin Jian put all the basic land endowments into the local government.

In this way, the local government will be able to generate a total of four or five million silver dollars more per year, and only in this way can the township system be propped up, and the local government will have the financial resources to carry out large-scale construction of canals, roads, bridges, river embankments, and other large-scale projects.

If the local fiscal revenue increases, the central revenue will be reduced by a large amount.

Last year, the central annual income was merged, and the household department and the Privy Council were merged, with a total of 20 million silver dollars, and this year after the Battle of Jingxiang, with the further clarification of the local relations between the two lakes, Fujian and Jiangxi, and Quang Nam, the annual income should be able to further increase significantly.

However, because Lin Jian implemented a new tax policy after the year, this year's central annual income has not increased significantly, but has also decreased slightly compared with last year, and even reached the scale of 20 million silver dollars.

Liu Shidu was the former salt and iron envoy, assisted Lin Mengde and Lin Xuwen to sort out the central finances, and after the autumn, Lin Tie split Jiangdong County into Jianghuai, Luzhou, Jiangning, and Chongzhou four Xuanfu envoys, Liu Shidu came down from the center and served as the Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy, but in the balance of interests between the local and the center, his thinking still habitually stopped at the center.

It's not that Lin Jian is not distressed that the center has lost such a large amount of income all of a sudden, but there are some things that must be done now.

The land tax itself is the revenue under the jurisdiction of the household department.

Lin Jian still retains the Yuanyue Emperor's room for the time being, and also retains the six departments of the political hall, and after the apportionment is divided into the mu, the basic land tax is included in the local tax source, and the household department no longer holds the financial power. In this way, the original political hall and the six departments were completely hollowed out into a gorgeous leather placed there.

On the other hand, if the central government does not get the basic land tax, and if it wants to stabilize or increase its annual income, it can only focus on maritime trade, the emerging industrial and mining industries, money banks, and other industries, as well as the additional land tax, which can fundamentally make the central center attach importance to the development of maritime trade, the development of industrial and mining industries, and the suppression of the annexation of land and residential land.

This year, after digging up a large part of the basic land tax, the central revenue has not been significantly reduced, which shows that emerging industries such as maritime trade, industry and mining still maintain a strong growth rate - this is the situation that Lin Jian hopes to see.

After the Jiangning War, the annual output of iron controlled by Huaidong will be 20 million catties, and Lin Jian is still determined to make Sun Dalu build a larger-scale Putang Iron Yard.

At that time, everyone thought that after the completion of the Putang Iron Yard, there would be a surplus of iron produced in the Jiangning area every year.

In fact, after the completion of the Putang Iron Yard, due to the extensive use of new craftsmanship, the annual output of 10 million catties of iron originally designed, and by this year, the output of iron has reached a height of 20 million catties.

Putang, together with several large government-run iron yards in Chongzhou, Shanyang, Yizhou, Zhuxi and other places, will have a total output of more than 50 million catties of iron this year.

Not counting the profits of these government-run iron yards, the field tax paid to the Department of Taxation alone this year will be as high as 1 million silver dollars.

In addition to increasing local finances, the tax-sharing mentality promoted by Lin Jian has also increased the local capacity to implement the construction of canals, roads, bridges, river embankments, and other projects, and has actually directly stimulated the purchasing power of local primary industrial products and stimulated the further development of new industries.

This kind of simplistic thinking of macroeconomic regulation and control will be common to ordinary people in later generations, but in the present life, it is still unclear to people the whole picture.

Others can't figure out the whole picture, but Lin Jian does it first and then says it, and if the actual effect comes out, it can naturally make others accept it; Otherwise, debating with others is not Lin Bin's forte.

Speaking of governance, although Lin Jian scolded Chen Xiyan as a pig in the early years, to this day, at least in the Privy Council, no one will question Lin Lian's ability to govern; After all, Lin Jian has a summary of experience that is thousands of years ahead of the contemporaries, and his main thing is to link the advanced governance thinking of later generations with the reality of the current world, to be ahead, but not too advanced and too out of touch.

In the mining industry, Lin Jian focuses on the development of coal and iron; In light industry, Lin Jian focused on the development of textiles; In the manufacturing industry, Lin Jian focuses on the development of shipbuilding, car manufacturing, textiles, and mining machinery; In terms of tax sources, Lin Jian mainly focuses on field taxes and tariffs related to industry, mining and maritime trade; For other complicated government affairs, Lin Jian let go as soon as he could, and called Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Song Fu and others to share them.

At present, Lin Lian has even begun to limit the scale of government-run factories and mining areas, and in addition to continuously innovating technology and improving productivity, he has strictly controlled the large-scale increase in the number of workers employed in government-run factories and mines, and instead wants to give up the surplus market space to the newly-born factory owners and industrial and mining owners in the Jianghuai region to make profits.

When the tax was split, Lin Jian alone doubled the municipal commercial tax on charcoal, restricting the use of charcoal and firewood as fuel by households in various counties, and directly promoting the great development of the coal mining industry in various places.

At present, there are eight government-run coal yards under the direct control of the Privy Council, but this year's coal yard tax is only three-fifths of the government-run coal yards, and this proportion will be further reduced next year.

The benefits of a large increase in iron production are clear.

Later generations are no strangers to coal, but many people think that coal is a product of near industry.

In fact, in the past 200 years, Jiangning Province alone has consumed more than one million baskets of coal and stone every year - it can be said that coal mining is the oldest traditional industrial sector that coexists with porcelain, iron, and copper smelting.

There are 10 counties in Jiangning Prefecture, with a population of more than 2.5 million, and the number of urban households is as high as 40 percent.

At that time, the proportion of urban households in the world was the highest in Liangjing, followed by Hangzhou, Pingjiang, Chongzhou and other places, but even in the most remote prefectures and counties, urban households accounted for about 10% of the total population. The oldest industrial sectors, such as iron, copper, silver, tin, porcelain, brick, lime, etc., were also in the critical period of using both charcoal and coal as fuel.

If we take a step forward, we will promote the great development of the coal mining industry; Taking a step back would lead to contraction and stagnation in the coal mining industry.

This year's total output of the coal mining industry is about 30 million baskets, not including nearly 2 million baskets of high-quality Shannam coal imported from Goryeo and specially used for glazed and high-quality fine iron firing.

At present, there are serious problems in the rapid development of the coal mining industry, and the Lishui coal yard collapsed once this year, burying more than 100 people. Almost all the officials demanded that the bidding for the coal yards in various places be stopped, and Lin Jian withstood the pressure to suppress the opposition, but asked the coal yards to pay attention to the safety of the mines.

Lin Jian is now in a high position, and he can often come into contact with all kinds of strange words.

Some officials, in order to strengthen their control over the people under their rule and prevent the recurrence of the Huaisi civil rebellion, even suggested restricting the use of kitchen knives, saw axes, shovels, coulters and other iron tools. Lin Jian couldn't cry or laugh at this as if he met Zhou Zhiyun in Guanyun County, and while throwing his words into the garbage basket, he also put this official into another book that would be phased out and would never be promoted.

In light industry, Lin Lian is determined to develop textiles and sugar.

Sugar production is mainly due to the scarcity of people in Yizhou, and the fertile land is very suitable for planting sugar plantations.

Cloth, like rice grain, is necessary for people's survival. The white cloth produced by the new textile industry has incomparable quality and cost advantages of homespun cloth.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of the market and the formation of a unified market, Lin Jian determined Jiangning as the center of domestic trade, making Chongzhou, Mingzhou and Jin'an the center of gravity of foreign trade, and making the Xuanfu envoys of the counties the center of regional trade, all of which had commercial departments directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.

First, the municipal commercial tax has become one of the main sources of tax for the local government, and the local officials are happy to see industrial products enter the domestic trade; On the other hand, emerging industries have incomparable cost and quality advantages in cost and quality that traditional products cannot match. Perhaps more importantly, the forces behind the emerging industries are beyond the reach of traditional forces.

Once the sales of Huaidong new cloth, cane sugar, and iron tools are hindered by local forces in a certain place, the forces behind the emerging industries first think of removing local officials, and the second thing they think of is whether to kill some people to kill chickens and monkeys......

Weaving and dyeing is also the first emerging industry in which Lin Jian gave up the market space. At present, in Chongzhou, Jiangning, and Haiyu County, which is close to Chongzhou, where new industries have been developed, there are 80 textile factories that have adopted the new method for production, and together with the textile factories under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, the scale of employment has reached 60,000. Around the periphery of the emerging textile industry, there are a series of derivative industries such as finishing and dyeing, sail weaving, cotton planting, textile machinery manufacturing, garment making, and shoemaking, which can be called a complete new industrial system. There are even special buckle making workshops and belt workshops.

At that time, the clothing in the world was still mainly robes, but the military uniforms pursued simplicity and convenience, and the half-cut jacket was the main one, so as to kill the enemy on the battlefield more effectively. Copper-tin buttons and armed belts are commonly used in military uniforms.

The uniforms of the Huaidong Army are directly formed in the hands of Lin Bin, although the armor is mainly in the traditional style, but the uniforms are as close to the shape of later generations as possible, and the buckles and belts have become the mainstream, but the color of the clothes is still the traditional blue and black. At that time, there were no plastic products, only copper or tin metal buckles made of easy-to-punch forging.

The Military General Staff has to purchase more than 800,000 sets of military uniforms every year, and the military's demand for metal buckles alone is three to four million pieces a year, which is worth almost 10,000 silver dollars, which is enough to feed two or three button-making factories.

Lin Lian's current energy is almost all focused on the development of the new deal and new industries.

When he came to Haizhou, Lin Lian's main thought at present was also to use the huge military market of the Northern Army to promote the rooting and development of new industries in Haizhou. He spent a lot of money in Haizhou, and he also did some auxiliary and promotion work, such as setting up a higher public school, and building the first museum in Haizhou with his mind, so that people in the world can open their eyes to the world without going far away.

Although the construction of Yanhu's defense line in the north of Shandong is also in full swing and is becoming more and more perfect, Lin Jian does not care much about it. In Lin Bin's deployment, no matter how perfect Yanhu is in the construction of the defense line, it is impossible to resist a strong army supported by a new industrial system.

Lin Jian is the master of spending money, and he is excited when he thinks about how to spend money, Lin Mengde is the master of money, and he naturally has a headache when he thinks of spending money. Unexpectedly, he made a special trip to Haizhou, and the Privy Council would draw an additional 200,000 silver dollars to Haizhou next year, so Lin Mengde was not in a good mood.

Lin Mengde wanted to make himself happy, not to sweep away Lin Bin's interest, and thought of other things, and asked: "I heard in Jiangning that the Fuhuo Giant Crossbow is quite effective in Haizhou, will it be equipped with warships in the near future?" If the military department had such a plan, it would have been better to tell it earlier, lest the Privy Council be caught off guard......"

"The money is spent on building a museum, and when you don't see any good, you are anxious when you dream; At this time, he urged to equip the fire giant crossbow to see his temperament of quick success......" Lin Jian turned his head and made fun of Lin Mengde with Gao Zongting.

Lin Mengde smiled awkwardly.

"Mengdegong is eager to win the battle," Lin Lian casually teased Lin Mengde for nothing, but Gao Zongting wanted to cover it up for him, and said to Lin Mengde, "There is still a possibility that the Fuhuo crossbow will be blown up, it should be that the iron is not pure enough, and several iron yards have been asked to send people to specialize in this matter, and it will take some time to test; If all copper is used, the cost is too high......"

"It's okay, it's okay," Lin Mengde said, "Each of the Fuhuo Giant Crossbows is more than 1,000 catties, and a hundred of them are more than 100,000 catties of copper, and the Privy Council can allocate additional ......."

"But what the lord means, the newly built Jinhai-class warship, one should be equipped with forty to fifty fire crossbows, is the Privy Council still willing to let go?" Gao Zongting asked with a smile.

Lin Mengde was stunned for a moment, a little stupid, and asked in surprise: "If the cloth is so dense, how can it be distributed?" ”

Lin Zhengjun-class warships, scorpion crossbows, and bed crossbows are also eight, all of which are equipped with ambush fire crossbows, and the density will be increased by six or seven times, which really makes Lin Meng stunned.

At present, the copper collected by the Privy Council every year is only about one million catties, which cannot meet the requirements of the Mint.

Lin Mengde thought that he would be able to squeeze out more than 100,000 catties of copper next year, thinking that it was already quite generous, but he didn't expect that he could only equip two Jinhai-class warships.

Lin Jian spread out a drawing on the desk and asked Lin Mengde to come and see: "This is the drawing of the new Lin Zhengjun-class warship, don't bite your tongue when you see it......"

The Huaidong battleship currently uses the scorpion crossbow and the bed crossbow as the main long-range combat weapons.

The Scorpion Crossbow is a projectile weapon that needs to be mounted on an unobstructed deck above, but the bed crossbow is already located in the cabin, and the crossbow has a crossbow opening on the side to attack enemy ships, and no longer occupies space on the upper deck. It's just that the range of bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows is very limited, which makes naval combat tactics inseparable from the traditional category. Therefore, Lin Jian did not pervert the dense setting of crossbow ports in the lower cabin of the warship.

At this time, the drawings that Lin Mengde read were the latest warships designed by the Huaidong Shipbuilding Division, and they only existed on the drawings.

The upper deck of the new warship is still a traditional sailing ship, with five masts standing and a total of 42 sails, but two layers of crossbow cabins have been added below the deck and above the water, and the side sides are all crossbow mouths, and the two-layer crossbow ports are densely packed, and the side side of the side is no less than fifty or sixty eyes.

The complicated drawings made Lin Meng dizzy, so that he didn't dare to ask the cost of such a battleship.

Every upgrade of the Huaidong warship, as the big steward of Huaidong and the person who took out the silver, Lin Mengde naturally participated in it personally, knowing that such a warship could not be built without five or six hundred thousand silver dollars; If two new warships are built next year, more than half of the additional silver money for the military next year will be consumed......
