"Five-five?"

The old man's heart moved.

After he became the foreman and minister of military aircraft, he did not patronize boxing, but really wanted to do things for the Qing Dynasty.

And the biggest problem facing the Qing Dynasty now is not the thieves in Huguang, nor the anti-thieves in Taiwan, nor the division within the Eight Banners, but the huge financial deficit.

Lao Fu is convinced that there is nothing in the world that money cannot solve.

If you have money, you will have soldiers and food, you will have an army capable of fighting, and you will have a solid rule.

Without money, it's nothing.

The reason why he participated in the counteroffensive against Qianlong at the beginning was not only to avenge Nalahou, but also to pull Qianlong down, otherwise if he was allowed to squander, the Qing Dynasty would be defeated by this prodigal emperor sooner or later.

Now that the loser is under his control, it is natural to reorganize the finances.

On the issue of treasury taxation, the old rich and the same household department Shangshu Yonggui have studied.

At present, the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the land and salt taxes of various provinces, and the official donations of large and small provinces, the largest income comes from the supervision of Guangdong Customs.

That is, the mouth of the six sons and virtuous brothers in the mouth of the South Seas mouth.

The tax on land and salt is fixed, and although the official donations are not fixed, the income is at most several million taels per year, and the annual fiscal revenue of the state treasury is about 30 million taels.

However, the 13 Guangdong Banks, which were responsible for trade with overseas countries, paid more than 6 million taels of taxes to the imperial court last year.

This money, coupled with the raid of the Lu family, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, was able to support the use of troops in Sichuan and Huguang.

Therefore, theoretically, if Tianjin also opened its door to trade, it could bring at least five million taels of tax silver to the imperial court every year.

Even if it is divided in half, there are two and a half million taels.

Open some sources here, squeeze a little there, and the financial deficit can always be smoothed out little by little.

Thinking of this, Lao Fu began to think about the feasibility of Beiyang trade, and even wanted to take this trade power from the direct subordinate to the central government.

Five or five points is not good, at least three or seven is enough.

Jia Liu is not worried that the old rich man will not let go of his mouth to give approval, as the old saying goes, we must oppose what the enemy supports, and we must support what the enemy opposes.

It was Qianlong who abolished multi-port trade, and now that the old rich are in power, can he still follow Qianlong's old path?

If you really continue to copy Qianlong's policy, aren't the two brothers doing it in vain?

Moreover, Jia Liu wants more, and there is one thing he must order to be a little rich.

"Nanyang trade is really a huge profit, not less than 50 million taels a year, but the tax silver obtained by the imperial court is only a small head, and the big head is in the hands of the thirteen lines."

Jia Liu did not falsely report this, and this is the case, the Qing court's trade in Guangdong has created a large number of the world's richest people.

In fact, before the Opium War, the Qing government had a net surplus in trade with Western countries, and most of the silver that Europeans had earned overseas every year went to China.

The problem is that the Qing court only got one or two percent of it, which is a real small profit.

Where did Dali go?

In the hands of the merchants.

"Thirteen lines?"

Lao Fu thought of something, opened the drawer, and found a copy of the investigation report on the Thirteen Lines of Guangdong a few months ago.

The report mainly talks about the transactions between the Thirteen Banks and foreign merchants.

Very simply, the Thirteen Lines organized people to purchase Chinese specialties such as tea, vegetables, ceramics, silk, and silverware from the mainland, and signed a comprador agreement with Hurd, the representative of the Dutch East India Company, to designate Dutch merchant ships to sell the goods of the Qing Dynasty to Europe.

At the end of the report, it was mentioned that the income of a family with a family in the 32nd year of Qianlong was as high as 12 million taels, which was almost the sum of the annual taxes and silver paid by Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces, which was comparable to the richest countries.

"It's not commerce, it's a monopoly."

After Jia Liu took the thirteen lines of investigation report from Lao Fu and read it, he said a new word called "monopoly" to Lao Fu.

Because he found out that the thirteen lines of the Guild were actually doing exclusive business with the Dutch East India Company, and the British, Portuguese, and Spaniards were all second-hand dealers of the Dutch East India Company.

This is obviously not conducive to competition and does not conform to the principles of market economy.

"Since the Nanyang trade is doing business with the Dutch, then our Beiyang trade will do business with other foreign merchants,"

Jia Liu officially introduced the foreign powers, and said to Lao Fu that as long as he got the approval document down, he would organize people to go to Guangdong to attract foreign investment and develop together.

"There are thirteen lines in Nanyang, and we don't need so many lines in Beiyang, which is state-run by the trade yamen..."

The big cake thrown by Jia Liu is quite tempting, the annual income of a Tongwen bank in Guangdong is 12 million taels, and how much is the annual income of 13 lines?

Now Beiyang has also opened its mouth to trade, and the monopoly power of trade has been nationalized from the people, as long as the hardware facilities can keep up, you can get as much silver as you want a year.

Lao Fu made a decision: "The Minister of International Trade and the Customs Supervision and Customs Supervision must be appointed by the imperial court. ”

"The beauty you think."

Jia Liuyi refused, he thought of the idea of doing it for a long time, the port was developed by him, the foreign businessmen were introduced by him, and the source of goods was also organized and procured by him.

"Brother Xian's personality makes it difficult for me to rest assured."

"Without me, can my eldest brother have today?"

“......”

A bit of haggling.

The power to appoint the Minister of International Trade was transferred to the central government by Lao Fu, but the Governor of Zhili was allowed to expand the number of sailors in Tianjin in the name of protecting merchants.

The customs supervision was won by Jia Liu, but half of the civil servants in the accounting office of Tianjin Customs had to be dispatched by the household department.

Jia Liu, the customs supervisor, gave up to Lao Fu on the condition that Lao Fu must support him in implementing a new deal in Zhili.

What New Deal?

It is to vigorously develop industry.

Lao Fu didn't understand what industry was at all, he only knew that Jia Liu wanted a coal and iron franchise, which itself had a complex system, some coal mines and iron factories belonged to the Ministry of Households, some belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there were private contractors, and Jia Liu wanted to integrate him.

The third thing is that Jia Liu wants to have full authority to appoint officials directly under him.

It is "Jia Xuan".

Where Jia Liu recommends officials to serve as direct subordinates, Lao Fu cannot interfere with them for any reason.

"Only civil officials below the fourth grade, and martial arts below the third grade."

The old man agreed, but he agreed, but he built a ceiling for Jia Xuanguan.

Jia Liu couldn't help but sour the old man: "Big brother is really an ungrateful white-eyed wolf." ”

"Really?"

Lao Fu didn't care, "My brother also learned from you." ”

Words are no longer speculative.

Jia Liu is too lazy to talk to the old rich man again, although there are some flaws, but it is generally in his interests, since this is the case, just pack up your things and go to Baoding.

beat the old rich family and immediately called the bolt pillar: "You go and tell the old man that Ming'er will move to Baoding." ”

"Moving?"

The bolt pillar was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Jia Liu raised his eyebrows: "Your young master, I have been promoted again, and I will go to Baoding to be the governor." ”

"Wow..."

Zhu Zhu was dumbfounded, "The young master is really promising, no wonder the master said that when you were born, the crows in the courtyard were croaking, and the yard was full of toads." ”
