"Oh, teacher, are they here, where will this go?" Huo Shan got up and asked with a happy face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I already saw them at the gate of the courtyard when I came in just now to get them back, and I guess they will come in soon!" Saying that, Huo Lei's rough black face showed a very rare hint of hesitation, but after looking outside the door, he cautiously approached Huo Shan's side and whispered: "Young master, just now I saw from a distance that the prime minister's face was not very good, and that face was long!"
"It's okay, I'm free!" Huo Shan waved his hand with a smile and said confidently. At this time, it was worth the teacher to throw away the big mess of the Huo Family's Military Affairs Council, and he also specially brought Huo Di and Huo Jiaguang, the two heads of the Huo Family's army who were in charge of money and spent money, to rush over, he probably had a guess in his heart!
"Young Master, since the Prime Minister is here, then I'll leave first!" Huo Wolf stood up and said. The main reason why he came here today was to make a detailed report and summary of the Huo family's gains in the economic crisis and the things that Huo Shan had given him. Now, his mission is complete. Moreover, seeing Prime Minister Huang Sheng coming over so solemnly, he didn't want to delay the young master to deal with things.
"No, anyway, you've just come back, so take a break in the next few days, and don't rush to the military headquarters to report!
"Yes, young master!"
Just when the two chatted briefly, Huang Sheng had already walked out of the door with Huo Di and Huo Jiaguang!
"Teacher, what kind of wind brought you to me? Isn't the Government Council busy lately?" Looking at Huang Sheng's expressionless cheeks, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile and greeted him!
"Could it be that you are in the Longtan Tiger's Den here, I can't come yet!" Huang Sheng frowned, ignoring the smile on his disciple's face. Said in a cold tone.
"How come, of course, I'm here at any time waiting for the teacher to come!"
In China at the end of the 19th century, respecting teachers was a benchmark for measuring a person's moral character! 'A teacher for one day, a father for life' At this time, it was not just talking! Moreover, Huo Shan also had great respect for the teacher who took the helm for him and promoted the rapid development of Huo Jiajun!
"Huo wolf, I've seen the prime minister!" "The Military Intelligence Bureau is subordinate to the Military Department. Therefore, Huo Wolf's own duty is also a soldier, so after meeting Huang Sheng, his etiquette is a military salute!
"Oh. When did you come back?" The Government Council and the Military Department are two parts that are not subordinate to each other, so Huang Sheng is not too clear about the whereabouts of Huo Wolf, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who is subordinate to the Military Department, and the tasks he performs. So. When I saw Huo Wolf, who I hadn't seen for more than a year. Huang Sheng's face couldn't help but show surprise!
"Hehe, I was sent out by the young master on a mission, and I only came back today!" Huo Wolf smiled.
"I've seen the young master!" At this time, Huo Di and Huo Jiaguang, who followed Huang Sheng in, also greeted Huo Shan one after another, they were not Huang Sheng, so their attitude was much more respectful!
"Well, let's not stand at the door, let's all come in and sit! Just use my treasured big red robe!" Huo Shan commanded loudly.
"Hey, when did you guys be so generous!" he sat down. After Huang Sheng looked Huo Shan up and down, he asked with a look of surprise.
Huo Shan's love of tea is something that the high-level people of all parties within the entire Huo Jiajun know! Therefore, as the lord of the Huo Family's army, there is naturally no shortage of good tea leaves around him, but the one who can become a big red robe is naturally a palace tribute from the three tea trees on Wuyi Mountain in Fujian! Of course, he can get this kind of good thing, thanks to his cheap father-in-law who is the son of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang! However, even so, the big red robe that can be obtained every year is only one or two taels! Usually Huo Shan himself is reluctant to drink, but today he actually took it out for hospitality, which really made Huang Sheng's heart a little strange!
You must know that even if you are the division commander of Huo Shan, you can only get so many dozen grams from him every year!
"Hehe, teacher, you blame me, I'm a very generous person!"
"It's strange to believe you!" Huang Sheng muttered in his heart. However, with his favorite Wuyi big red robe to drink, of course he will not open his mouth to spoil the current atmosphere!
"Teacher, you're here today for the expansion of the military department, right?"
"No, I came here today to report to you the current financial situation of our Huo Jiajun! so that you can have an idea of how many families we have now!" Huang Sheng paused, "Huo Di, tell him!"
After listening to his words, Huo Shan couldn't help but nod slightly, and it just so happened that he also wanted to know what level Huo Jiajun's current financial situation had reached!
After seeing the young master's agreement, Huo Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was relieved to take out a blue folder from his briefcase!
"Because of time constraints, I only have the financial statements of the past few years and the first two quarters of this year!" Because of the development and use of long-wave radios, all the territories and base areas of the entire Huo Jiajun have been closely linked. Therefore, in order to be able to grasp the economic situation of Huo Jiajun in various places in a timely manner, and then make targeted layouts. The entire Huo Jiajun has already used quarters as the shortest time for phased investigations!
"You don't have to talk about last year, just talk about the most recent quarter!" Huo Shan said.
At present, our Huo Jiajun's fiscal revenue is mainly divided into four major parts, namely, agricultural tax, commercial tax, customs duties, and profits and taxes handed over by public-owned enterprises! Among them, the agricultural tax is 14 million silver dollars, a year-on-year increase of 2.3 percent compared with the previous quarter, the commercial tax is 12 million silver dollars, a year-on-year increase of 5.6 percent, the tariff is 6.4 million silver dollars, a year-on-year increase of 1.2 percent, and the profits and taxes paid by public enterprises are 25.6 million silver dollars, a year-on-year increase of 8.2 percent! In addition to that, there are 2 million silver dollars in luxury tax, 3.5 million silver dollars in resource tax, 4.2 million silver dollars in inheritance tax, vehicle and vessel use tax, and urban maintenance and construction tax! All of these add up! Our total tax revenue in the second quarter of this year was 67.7 million silver dollars, 15.6 million silver dollars more than last month! If the growth rate remains the same, then our tax revenue will exceed 250 million silver dollars this year!" said Hodi.
"Hehe, isn't that good? Are our finances growing very fast?"
"Young Master, what I just said is only our financial income, and there are still expenses behind this!"
"Yes, yes, you go on!" Huo Shan said with a wave of his hand.
"Our Huo Jiajun's expenditure is now mainly distributed in five major areas! One is the investment in infrastructure construction, including the construction of new cities, the renovation of old cities, the construction of highways and bridges, the construction of railways, and the construction of ports; last quarter, 100 million silver dollars were invested in this alone! This is an increase of 0.3 percent over the first quarter! The increase is not too large, but with the occupation of the desolate western United States and Alaska, the investment in infrastructure construction will increase significantly! The second is the investment in education, which is 25 million, an increase of 1.2 percent over the same period last year! However, with the addition of a large number of qualified teachers from the United States, our investment in education will increase exponentially! The third is the investment in medicine and health, which is 18 million silver dollars, an increase of 2.3 percent year-on-year! The third investment is the investment in immigrants, including their freight, housing, basic daily necessities, seeds, agricultural tools, etc., and a total of 35 million silver dollars in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 3.6 percent! The fourth input is the purchase of industrial equipment, steel, and mechanical products, and the investment in this area is only 12.8 million, mainly because of the material foundation of the United States, so there is not much increase! The money spent is also the orders that we have already placed in European countries! The fifth item is military investment, and with our development in the Americas, the investment in the last quarter was 45 million silver dollars, and although this quarter has not been counted, it will only be high, not low!
"In addition to the above-mentioned five major aspects, we also have a total of 47 million silver dollars in 12 small items, such as the salaries of administrative personnel, teachers, and other public servants, the investment in scientific research funds, the investment in environmental protection, and the investment in the maintenance and protection of cultural relics and historic sites! In this way, the total financial investment in the second quarter of this year is 282.8 million silver dollars! The fiscal deficit is 215.1 million silver dollars!"
After listening to his words, the atmosphere in Huo Shan's study was quiet, after all, this quarter's financial deficit has caught up with Huo Jiajun's financial income for a year! Anyone who listens to this will feel a chill in their hearts, no wonder even Huang Shengming knew that Huo Jiajun's family was very expensive, and when he heard that Huo Shan had expanded his army by 400,000 again, he couldn't help but rush over from Nanyang!
However, Huo Shan was not too surprised by this, after all, the East Indies, which were originally rampant with indigenous people, were in a state of wilderness, with no roads and railways at all, and even those famous big cities had no running water, urban greening, urban sanitation systems and other infrastructure, and almost all of them had to be rebuilt!
So the cost of building a country in a wild land is staggering!
"These investments are only our internal investments, according to the commercial agreements we have signed with Britain, France, Germany, and other countries! We must spend nearly 600 million pounds to buy their goods within five years! So even if we have the foundation we have laid before, our finances have already reached the bottom line without using gold! Although we have made a lot of profits from the United States, the development of the western part of the United States will be equally heavy! Therefore, from now on, we must be diligent and thrifty, make good use of every penny, develop our economy and industry as soon as possible! Increase economic income, and balance our finances!" Huang Sheng said in a heavy tone.
As the premier of the Huojiajun Administrative Yuan, he was very happy to see the entire 10 provinces and two cities of Huojiajun, the 35 provincial-level base areas, and the economic development of the two territories of Taiwan and Hainan every day! However, whenever he saw the huge disparity in the financial deficit, Huang Sheng felt like he was on pins and needles! The first thing he thought about every day was how to develop the economy and increase the fiscal revenue. )
