Prince Rui likes two voices the most in his life, one is Hello Big, and the other is Hello Rich.

The voice in front of me was very tired of listening, because Prince Rui was not the kind of person who was easily proud and complacent, and usually did not take well-intentioned criticism to heart.

The voice in the back is not tired of listening, because Prince Rui likes the feeling of being rich.

The silver that Ding Te sent to fight Wuchang was entering the warehouse one by one, and it took nearly half an hour to reconcile the CD account.

More than 1 million cash and hundreds of large and small cars, from different regions and different leaders, the workload is very large.

Almost all the members of the accounting office went out, counting the silver, planning to plate, and reporting the accounts, one after another, very lively.

It also made Jia Liu listen very pleasantly.

In order not to make people feel that he is a great general, he specially asked Baozhu to move a small stool and sit next to the chief manager Li, holding the brewed ginseng wolfberry tea in his hand, and holding a red seal of Huangshan Mountain in his mouth, so he looked at the silver box into the warehouse so attentively.

Nodding slightly from time to time, showing a happy expression.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Ji thought for a moment, and then quietly leaned over to Li's accounting office to whisper a few words.

"Huh?"

After listening to Deputy Director Ji's reminder, Accountant Li suddenly became energetic, realized that he had made a serious political mistake, and quickly took out the two thick stacks of silver tickets that he had counted just now from the safe, and then respectfully presented them to the prince, saying that he was really too busy here, and asked the prince to help him count them.

"Count? Ah, well, well, this king is idle and idle, just to support your work. ”

Jia Liu hurriedly put down the ginseng wolfberry tea in his hand, threw half of the unfinished cigarette on the ground, took the silver ticket casually, habitually wiped the two fingers to his mouth, and then counted it carefully.

"Wow", the index finger and thumb are used together, the speed, the posture, at first glance, it is often the bank to pay through.

After counting in one stack, it is exactly one million taels.

Count another stack, and it's a million taels.

There is a small stack left, about 400,000 taels.

The accounts and the Dintes' accounts are compatible.

According to the Ding Tepai, these funds are mainly the concession fees paid by President Chen and the provincial government officials in Hubei Province, which is the first batch, and there will be more to come.

From top to bottom, there is a level of demarcation, and a level of mobilization.

Hubei Province alone conservatively estimates that it can collect about 8 million taels of franchise fees.

"Eight million taels? Boy! ”

Baozhu was stunned: This official is so rich?

Deputy Director Ji, who presided over the franchise, was not surprised, if it weren't for the fact that the prince gave him a file and didn't give him the opportunity to play for Lao Ji, doubling this number would not be a problem.

It's all officialdom, who doesn't know who.

Bao Zhu thought of a question and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Director Ji, what is Hubei's fiscal revenue in the past year?" ”

This question is more professional, and it should be asked to Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei.

However, Lord Zheng was not there, and he was busy organizing the Hubei New Army for the general Wang.

Fortunately, Deputy Director Ji has also recently studied the financial problems of the Huguang region, so he gave Captain Bao an approximate figure, that is, Hubei Province's annual fiscal revenue currently ranks fifth in the Qing Dynasty, about 2.4 million taels.

The top four are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Zhili.

Needless to say, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich and prosperous in the world, and it can be said that Jiangnan Caoliang accounted for half of the world in the Qing Dynasty.

If the luck is broken, the Qing Dynasty will be paralyzed if it is not dead as if it has been cramped.

Zhili is the largest province, although the field endowment is very small, but other aspects of the input than the provinces, after all, the territory is large enough, the population is also large.

The reason why Guangdong ranks ahead of Zhili is that Guangdong has a mouth of commerce, and the annual sea trade income is huge.

It is precisely because of Guangdong's considerable fiscal and taxation that the imperial court set up two governors in Guangdong and sent permanent customs supervisors.

In this way, the taxes that Guangdong handed over to the imperial court every year were only a fraction of that of the maritime merchants.

The thirteen banks net 50 million taels a year, and the household department only receives less than 6 million taels a year.

This also prompted the old and rich, the top leaders of the imperial court, to agree to the opening of the six sons and virtuous brothers in Tianjin, which is said to be the simultaneous development of the north and the south.

Hubei's annual income of more than 2.4 million taels ranks fifth in the annual statistical table of household departments, which is in line with the facts.

After all, the annual income of Sichuan, the big family next door, is less than one million taels.

The Hunan side is also more than one million taels.

Huguang is together, so that he can fight with Zhili.

But this is the data of two years ago, and now, Hubei's fiscal revenue is not the first from the bottom in the country, and the third from the bottom should be stable.

"Only more than two million taels are collected a year, and these officials who have lost their temper can pay more than eight million taels at a time, which..."

Baozhu didn't dare to imagine what this meant, and at worst, the officials in Hubei were greedy for nearly four times the province's finances.

Counting further, the annual income of the imperial court is tens of millions of taels, how many are greedy by the officials?

This Qing Dynasty is really rich and flowing!

Why is it that His Excellency the President is often muttering here, and the son of heaven on the coal mountain is so poor that it clangs.

What's the problem?

"Captain Bao doesn't know,"

Deputy Director Ji explained that the concession fee involved 24 provincial-level officials, 126 prefecture-level officials, more than 540 prefecture and county officials, and 1,000 people below the seventh grade.

That is to say, the prince's policy is aimed at all officials who have betrayed the moderation, and no one is missing.

"If it is spread on each official, it is about 4,000 taels. If even those who do not enter the stream are counted, the per capita payment is less than 2,000 taels. ”

Deputy Director Ji doesn't think it's a big problem, most of it is mainly concentrated on officials in provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, which of these people does not have a net worth of 180,000.

Especially at or above the provincial level, there are not tens of thousands of taels a year, and they are embarrassed to say that they are officials.

Jia Liushun took a sip of the tea bowl and glanced at Baozhu, who looked shocked: "What's the fuss, there are more than 27 million people in Hubei Province, and this money is only three coins of silver per person in the province, as for you, are you so terrifying." ”

The market price of one tael of silver is about 800 to 1,200 wen, and three taels of silver are also three or four hundred wen.

Deputy Director Ji's preliminary investigation and research showed that the annual income of poor peasants in Hubei is about two taels, that is, about 2,000 wen a year.

It's about 85 percent.

The annual income of the middle peasants is about six taels.

The average annual income of rich peasants and landlords is 30 to 50 taels.

Jia Liu recognized the results of Lao Ji's investigation, because he had investigated it when he was in Zhili.

Without investigation, there is no voice.

During the inspection in Cangzhou, Jia Liu knew a short-term worker named Tang Wenju, who worked as a helper in a landlord's house surnamed Zheng, including food and housing, and received a salary of about 2,500 yuan a year, which was about two, two, three or four yuan.

The wife and children of the family planted a few acres of thin land, which could only provide food and clothing, and there was no extra income.

So over the course of a year, the total income of the family was 2,500 Wen that Tang Wenju earned for working for the landlord.

The income is very low, and the family is very difficult.

If there is no illness or disaster, if there is a minor illness or disaster, it will really be a year in vain.

For this reason, when Jia Liu was in Cangzhou, he called on officials in the province to increase the income of the people, how to increase it?

The feudal mode of production certainly did not bring much income to the people, because the means of production and the mode of production were already limited.

Then there is only one way to industrialization.

Jia Liu's method is very simple, that is, to drive the people to get rich through a large number of projects.

Such as the construction of Tianjin Port, Tianjin sea trade, customs, market and other projects, industrial parks, military parks, provincial roads, county road projects, urban maintenance and so on...

So far, the effect is remarkable.

In particular, the income of the people around the provincial major projects has increased like sesame seeds blooming.

A large number of engineering teams have sprung up.

But in the final analysis, what these people earn is not the money of the imperial court, nor is it the money of a big family, but what they earn is actually Jia Liu's private deposits.

At present, almost all the projects in Zhili are subsidized by Jia Liuyi, so he had to ask President Li in Sichuan for help, and obtained a high-interest loan of 4 million taels specially approved by Chairman Li...

The great Prince Rui is working for the benefit of the people in the world with the power of one person.

Singing, crying, respectable!

If Tianjin Haimao cannot be opened next year, Jia may have to go out to hide his debts on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Without money, it is difficult to move an inch.

So, he loves money.

If you can't get money through formal channels, you can only go off the rails.

Digging people's ancestral graves, selling officials and taking bribes, sweeping the emperor and fighting wrongdoing, collecting money is more lenient than ...

As long as he can get money, Jia Liu doesn't care what others think of him.

Including the favorable policies for the officials who have lost their temper this time.

Hearing that His Excellency the President was such a person, Baozhu also felt that he was making too much fuss.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but remind: "Your Excellency seems to be undignified like this." ”

"What's wrong? Take it from the officials and use it for the people. ”

Jia Liu doesn't think it's wrong to do this, because that's the best way to do it.

Baozhu hesitated, but still said boldly: "Your Excellency, this money is not taken from the officials, but from the people." ”

Jia Liu disagreed: "What's the problem? Whether it is taken from the government or from the people, in the end, do I use it for the people? ”

"That's right."

Baozhu thought about it carefully, this is really the truth, the money that His Excellency has earned over the years has hardly fallen into his family, and it has all been scattered.

Jia Liu actually knew what Baozhu really wanted to say, it was nothing more than that the officials handed over money to him, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and the other tried to make up for it from the people.

But this matter is a dead knot for now.

"Baozhu, you have to understand a truth. Well, how to talk about this truth, for example, I and you, as well as Director Ji and Accountant Li, push Pai Gow together, each of us has a hundred taels of silver, but I have a big project that needs four hundred taels to do, so I must win the money of the three of you, so that I can start the project. ”

Jia Liu pointed out that once his 400 taels project is successful, the output value will reach 4,000 taels, and then he will be able to give 200 taels to one of the three who lost money.

But if he can't win this money and can't build the project, then the money of the four of them together will still be four hundred taels, and it will never be more.

"If a country wants to develop rapidly in any period, then it must have a process of accumulation of primitive wealth, and no matter what method is used, this process will hurt the interests of some people...

Otherwise, how can wealth be concentrated? If wealth is not concentrated, how can we concentrate on doing great things? If you can't do big things, how can you develop quickly? Without development, how can the people benefit? ”

That's the truth.

Jia Liu hopes everyone can understand.
