"In addition to the explosive growth of grain output, other aspects, such as culture, education, textiles, printing and dyeing and other traditional weak industries of our army have also been significantly strengthened, and have basically reached or surpassed the average level of the Han Dynasty.

Animal husbandry, smelting, pills and other originally strong industries are even better, showing a state of outshine in the entire Han territory. The brewing industry has come from behind, and its economic scale and economic benefits have surpassed animal husbandry, becoming the second largest industry after pills.

In terms of culture and education, because of the leading role of Dr. Cai (Cai Yong, Doctor of Economics), coupled with the increasingly tense situation in the Guan, many people under the persuasion of Dr. Cai based on Pingzhou, so that the level of culture and education in Pingzhou has been improved linearly, and there are currently six grandmasters, 22 Hongru, and more than 300 Confucianism have settled in Pingzhou to give lectures, and a total of four top academies have been opened, which can steadily train more than 3,000 first-class scribes every year.

While supporting our increasingly perfect political system, we still have the spare power to divert to the Yanhuang Temple and the Celestial Wolf God Altar, and provide more than 300 qualified priests (Taoists) every year.

In addition, Pingzhou has also opened the first higher women's college in Dahan, cultivating a large number of high-quality women, especially providing a large number of qualified soldiers for the Star of Light Women's Legion, which has further enhanced the combat effectiveness of our army. ”

The establishment of a women's college was passed under the strong recommendation of female generals such as Zhen Mi, Wang Yi, Peng Thesilea, Zhao Yu, Kassandra, and Medusa, and it caused quite a stir at the time, and many conservatives resolutely opposed it.

In the end, it was in front of Shang Ji, who was still accompanying Liu's fetus at that time, and Shang Ji deliberately took an afternoon to listen to the opinions of both parties.

However, it was said that it was to listen to opinions, but as soon as the two sides appeared, the conservatives knew that the opening of a women's college could not be stopped - Liu also appeared, and stood between Kassandra and the others.

What is there to debate about this? In the depressed eyes of the conservatives, Kassandra and the others won the debate by an overwhelming margin.

But then I found out that the women's college seems to be really funny!

At least the quality and quantity of Kassandra's Star of Light have been significantly strengthened, and now among the twenty-seven battle legions of the Shang Ji Army, each battle legion has been equipped with at least one thousand-strong team of Star of Light, which has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the battle legion.

The change also led the military to move quickly from its earliest spectacle to a general support for women's colleges, with the support of the military, not to mention conservative opposition.

Although the healing effect of the Light Star Girl is not as good as that of a full-time healing Taoist priest or a sacrificer, her status is also quite high compared to that of ordinary soldiers. A most ordinary Star of Light girl, her status and treatment in the battle legion are not inferior to the centurion, and if you are respected, the Star of Light girl is a lot more than the centurion.

Put it in the place, which family has a star girl of light, ten miles and eight towns are the object of envy.

**The reality of nakedness has also made a 180-degree turn in the folk atmosphere, from the original resistance and rejection to the competition to send their daughters to study in women's colleges.

This has further led to the emancipation of women, and there are more and more women in all walks of life.

Of course, the most fundamental reason for this situation is the shortage of manpower under the rule of the Shang Army, and the government affairs system headed by Deng Yan is vigorously introducing immigrants at the same time, but also trying to encourage and support women to go out of the house and work, alleviating the embarrassing situation of sparse population and lack of labor.

"Here is a data report of all walks of life under the current rule of our army, because there are too many contents, I will not read them to you one by one, and interested colleagues can refer to them by themselves."

While Deng Yan was speaking, several small officials were holding a thick stack of documents and distributing them to everyone.

"Next, I will focus on the current financial situation of our army."

First of all, I would like to inform you of the good news, according to the estimate of the Government Council, the tax payment of our military administration this year is expected to exceed 2.2 billion gold. Three years ago, the annual income was only 540 million gold, and in three years, the annual income has more than quadrupled. ”

Hearing Deng Yan's introduction of Pingzhou's tax situation, a smile appeared on the corner of Shang Ji's mouth.

In the past three years, the merchants have spent more than 7 billion yuan on the front and back. With the financial income of the three places, he couldn't make five billion gold even if he tried his best to loot, and the bulk of the investment mainly came from the harvest of the original national war on the mainland.

It is precisely because of this that the gold coins harvested by the National War Continent have been almost consumed.

The large-scale inflow of gold coins led to inflation in the whole of China, which was equivalent to looting the wealth of the whole world to develop the three places of Pingchen, and it was precisely in this way that there would be a miracle of quadrupling taxes in three years.

In addition, Deng Yan didn't say anything else, the income of the Shang Jijun is divided into two parts, one part is the tax income, including agricultural tax, commercial tax, poll tax and other normal taxes, but in addition to this, there is also a huge amount of special franchise income.

Take, for example, the drinks mentioned earlier.

Even the most ordinary, the wine that ordinary people drink at home costs about fifty copper for one jar (three catties). The expensive wine is out of the spectrum, with the authentic Baicao Garden spiritual rice as the main ingredient, with a variety of cherished accessories, the [beauty drunk] refined by the grandmaster-level winemaker, the price of a jar (a pound of small jars) will exceed a thousand gold, the real gold wine, that is, the princes who dominate one side are distressed to drink.

It is well known that alcohol is extremely profitable, especially high-end wines. The net profit of ordinary wine is more than double, and the profit of top wine can even reach ten or a hundred times, which is a monopoly thing, and it does not talk about the law of market value at all!

With such a huge profit, it is naturally impossible for Shang Ji to let DC go.

In the Shang district, all liquor is a monopoly, and selling illicit liquor is a felony!

The liquor trade alone brought 460 million gold in net income to the merchants last year, and this year it has properly exceeded 500 million gold.

As I said earlier, wine is only the second largest industry under the rule of Shang Ji, and the first major industry is the elixir!

If you don't drink alcohol, it's a little uncomfortable at most, but without all kinds of pills produced in Pingzhou, it will kill people, and the profit margin of pills is even more than alcohol.

Like alcohol, the pill is also a monopoly, and the profit of the pill does not depend on the market environment, but on how many pills the merchant intends to release - this thing is always in short supply, and as much as it is produced, it can be consumed.

And last year, the pill trade brought a full 800 million gold profits to Shang Ji!

In addition, the bulk grain trade (the main purpose of the monopoly in this area is to keep grain prices stable, and the profits are not very high), horses, weapons and armor, large equipment, talismans, and other monopoly industries, last year a total of 1.9 billion net income was provided for the merchants!

In other words, the disposable financial income of the merchant is more than 4 billion gold a year!
