"To prove that the structure is unreasonable, we have to look at the other three things, one is the salt class, the second is the tariff, and the third is the miscellaneous class."

"Do you still draw a histogram to explain?"

Wu Yan smiled, pulled out a second large piece of paper, and then hung it on the wooden board and flattened it.

The three of them looked at it, and there were three flatbreads painted on the paper, and Yang Dingchen couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be flatbread...... I look like I'm hungry. ”

Li Daoru looked at him with disgust: "You won't be hungry if you draw a big cake yourself." ”

"Okay guys, what about this picture, it's called a pie chart, it's very intuitive, for example, in the pie chart of the salt class, the two Huai salt will pull away more than half of the big pie, Hedong and Liangzhejiang will draw away two big teeth, and the remaining long reed will cut off one tooth, and there will be little else left in Yunnan, Fujian, Shandong."

"In fact, the salt class is good at statistics, basically more than 1 million per year, which is a relatively fixed income. Next, look at the banknote pass, the household department has mastered seven banknotes, of which Linqing accounts for nearly forty percent, Hexi Affairs (Tianjin) accounts for nearly one percent, which is half of the country, plus Chongwenmen, so the money customs income, the north accounts for the majority. At the same time, it also shows that trade in recent years has actually flowed to the north, not to the north to the south. ”

"What does that mean?"

"This shows that the opportunity to do business in the future is in the north, don't you understand?"

"Look at the third picture, the miscellaneous income ......" Although the picture was drawn by Wu Yan himself, every time he looked at it, he couldn't help but show an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"Just looking at the two Zhili, miscellaneous classes account for the heaviest, hey, this can't help but remind me of the hardships of starting a business back then......"

Li Daoru knew this stalk, but he didn't laugh at it, so he had to purse his mouth tightly and try to make his expression look normal.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, continue to draw the pie ......"

"According to these three figures, let's add up the amount and look at it, the salt class is 1,171,619 taels, the banknote is 402,308 taels, the miscellaneous class is 329,049 taels, plus the statistics of last year's field endowment, 16,197,189 taels, the total is: 18,110,167 taels."

Hey, Wu Yan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this number, to put it mildly, the racecourse can reach such a scale in two years of development, and this is the annual income of such a large country!

"Do you have any ideas?" Wu Yan asked.

"I can't say it, it seems like a lot, and I feel very little, if it wasn't less, I wouldn't be able to break even."

"It should also be explained here that this is the data after all the depreciation of silver, because a considerable share of the tax is the income of the natural color, and all the silver is converted for the sake of good statistics, and there is no unified standard for the depreciation rate, so it can only be converted according to the foreign exchange valuation of the household."

"Yan Sizhen, have you ever made statistics on expenditures?"

"Yes, wait," Wu Yan said, pulling out another sheet from a pile of papers, and also hanging it on the board.

"It's still a pie chart, which is more intuitive, and it is divided into several items: grain and salary in border towns, clan and domain, internal government supply, camp guard officers and military food, and official salary. Before looking at this diagram, I would like to explain again that this account is only the account of the household department, and does not include the income and expenditure of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites.

"Understood,"

"At the rate of 100, 45 percent of the grain and salary of the border towns, 14 percent of the battalion guards and soldiers, 20 percent of the food provided by the inner government, 20 percent of the grain of the Zongfan Lu, and the officials of the ...... Negligible. ”

Yang Dingchen couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you want to ignore it?" ”

"Because it's less! It's like this official dignified six products, and there are only seven buckets of rice per month, which is equivalent to three dollars and five cents of silver! ”

"Haha......" Li Daoru finally couldn't help laughing: "No, Yan Sizhen, you are now a prisoner of the country, and you still have one stone of rice every month." ”

"Oh, yes...... "Wu Yan then remembered that there was one more stone of rice, a total of one stone and seven buckets, and his salary was doubled!

"Okay, continue this end, the border town food and the battalion guard officers and soldiers will be grouped together, I call it military expenditure, this military expenditure accounts for nearly sixty percent. As for why there are so many, this is a matter of concern to His Majesty and the relevant departments, and we will only analyze the composition of expenditures. ”

"The inner government and the clan don't have to say it, it's this official who is good, I think it should be greatly improved!"

"It seems that my female officer has a lot of opinions about me......"

A magnetic voice suddenly sounded in the space...... Wu Yan's first reaction was actually an outgoing signal?

The four of them turned their heads and looked, Hao, a large group of people were crowding at the door to listen to the corner. Li Daoru and the three of them jumped, and hurriedly got up and went forward to salute.

Wu Yan didn't expect the emperor to bring a large group of people to eavesdrop, her eyes rolled, and she thought in her heart, did you say anything excessive just now...... It seems that there is, there is none? ”

She walked up in a sneer, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, you still took the time to come here in your busy schedule, which really makes this place flourish." ”

"Sneer......" Emperor Yongming mocked slightly, and said: "You can still say this idiom one by one, it seems that your recent reading has been fruitful!" ”

"Hehe, that's that, the main thing is that the teachers of Guozijian are serious and responsible."

"Alright, you don't talk nonsense, keep drawing the pie, I'll listen."

Wu Yan couldn't help but wonder: "Your Majesty, where did you start listening?" ”

"It started with the pillar......"

"Oh...

The four of them returned to their original positions, and then a group of people squeezed in, and the entire Wenyuan Pavilion library suddenly seemed full. Wu Yan had to move to the wooden board and stand to continue explaining, while Li Daoru and the three were also squeezed aside, and they looked a little restrained.

"Where's that? Oh yes, that's all it takes to spend ......"

Wu Yan pulled out the last piece of paper, also hung it on the wooden board, and flattened it.

"This is the income composition of the statistics, you can take a look, it is still a hundred as the rate, of which the light field endowment accounts for 90 percent! Then salt is 7 percent, tariffs are 2 percent, and miscellaneous is 1 percent. ”

"One of the reasons for the low income just analyzed is that the field endowment is decreasing, and the field endowment accounts for ninety percent of the total income, which is also the main reason for the decrease in income. So I can't help but ask, is it possible not to reduce income? ”

"You only mentioned one of the reasons, is there any other reason?" Emperor Yongming asked suddenly.

"Uh...... Yes, it is only the main factor that the land endowment accounts for, and the second reason is actually to consider the monetization of fiscal revenue. ”

Gu Dehai also came with Emperor Yongming, and Wu Yan and they discussed the financial issues of the household department, so he naturally listened attentively.

How can this be explained? What is monetization? ”

"Silver, copper, money, and banknotes are collectively referred to as currency, and fiscal revenue used to be mainly in kind, and since a whip law, silver has gradually increased, but the proportion is still very small. Judging from last year's household accounts, income can be divided into physical income and monetary income, of which monetary income accounted for only 42 percent, but looking at expenditure, its monetary expenditure is close to 50 percent. Although the account can be flattened, it can also be converted into silver taels, but in fact, it is necessary to take out real money, and the monetary expenditure exceeds the income, which will naturally lead to a shortage of cash flow, that is, a shortage of silver, which will appear to be stretched, but it cannot be shown on the account. ”

Gu Dehai understood, but in a flash of inspiration, a question suddenly came to mind: "Then what if you change all the Yulu to your true colors...... This cash flow is estimated to save a lot. ”

Shoufu Li Ju was also present, and when he heard Gu Dehai's words, he coughed a few times in a row to remind him.

"Ahem, Gu Shangshu, the female official also analyzed it just now, the expenditure of the official is almost negligible, how much silver can you save in this way?"

。。。 There are no words to describe Wu Yan...

"Uh-huh...... Wu Yan, continue," Emperor Yongming spoke in time.

"Going back to the pie chart, I just said that the income from the field accounts for 90 percent, so can you make an adjustment? For example, increase the income of other items and reduce the transitional dependence on the land endowment? The answer, of course, is yes. Let's look at the salt class first, this part of the income is relatively fixed, and there will not be much room for adjustment, so there is only tariff and miscellaneous income. These two have a common feature: they are both levied on goods or services, which can be grouped into one category, which I will call 'turnover tax'. ”

"Why is it called circulation?"

Why is it called circulation? Wu Yan didn't know how to explain it, she thought about it, and simply said: "Isn't the tariff just a levy on ships?" Aren't boats flowing? Although the merchant sits and sells, the goods sold are transported by ship......"

"Oh.................." Gu Dehai was stunned, but he still didn't understand.

"Ahem, Wu Yan, I know what you mean, just keep talking about ideas."

"Your Majesty, the minister would like to conclude in the end: If we want to change the dilemma of not making ends meet, it is best to base ourselves on the existing scale and carry out structural adjustment. Specifically, it is to increase the proportion of tariffs and miscellaneous courses, and reduce the transitional dependence on land endowments, which is the idea of our development plan. ”

"Okay, go on,"

"So all the planning revolves around this idea, how to increase tariffs? How to add miscellaneous classes? We should not extort arbitrarily and extort taxes, but talk about how to increase the increment of tax collection. ”

"Incremental, how to understand?" Emperor Yongming asked.

Wu Yan did not answer in a hurry, but calmed down and thought for a moment before solemnly replying: "Your Majesty, collecting taxes is the right of a sovereign country, and it is also an obligation. And for every farmer and businessman in Daming, paying taxes is our obligation and right. ”

Emperor Yongming smiled slightly and said, "What is a right?" What is an obligation? ”

"To put it simply, the state should collect taxes, and I, as a citizen, pay taxes according to the law, which is my obligation. But after the obligation, can the state also give some preferential policies? Can I make my business more prosperous and make more money, so that I will not pay more taxes in the future? Of course, it is also necessary to allow reasonable tax avoidance in legal circumstances......"

Emperor Yongming knew that he couldn't give her a chance to speak, so he would 'talk nonsense' when she gave her a chance: "Okay, okay~ I know, continue!" ”

"Let's make it simpler, establish an economic development zone!" Wu Yan is also 'hairy', and he always doesn't let himself say what's going on!

"Good! Two days later, I'm waiting for you to come to the edict! ”
