After listening to the teacher's words, Huo Shan nodded solemnly, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man sitting on the side with a calm expression and asked, "Jiaguang, your central bank is in charge of money, you can tell us all our income over the years!"

Within Huo Jiajun, the central bank and the Ministry of Finance are two different financial departments, the Ministry of Finance is only responsible for spending money, but Huo Jiajun's wealth in taxation, gold and silver mining, war harvests, and so on must first be deposited in the central bank and kept by a bank, and then unified into the silver dollars circulated by Huo Jiajun, and then allocated to the Ministry of Finance in accordance with the economic and industrial development plan provided by the Government Council every year!

The central bank and the Ministry of Finance manage money and spend money at the same time, and they supervise each other at the same time, ensuring the security and stability of Huo Jiajun's finances to the greatest extent!

Hearing Huo Shan's order, Huo Jiaguang nodded and picked up the document in his hand, "From the establishment of the Huo Jiajun in 80 to the present, the revenue of the central bank is mainly divided into three major parts, namely, the taxes paid by the local government, the large amount of gold and silver property obtained by the Huo Jiajun in the southern and northern wars, and the gold and silver mined from the gold and silver mines in our hands! The financial taxation has already been said by Huo Di just now, so I will not repeat it here!"

"The gold and silver wealth seized by the army has always been the bulk of our Huo family's income, and there are four main sources: one is the income from the seizure of the land in the Qing Dynasty's internal base against local tyrants; Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe proceeds of the expansion of the territory of Indochina, thirdly, the extermination of the natives of the islands of the South Seas and the Pacific Ocean, and finally, the proceeds of the war that we captured from the war in the United States after the beginning of the war. 1,450 tons of gold and 354,000,000 taels of silver were obtained from the Qing Dynasty, and they are still growing at an average rate of 35 tons of gold and 15,000,000 taels of silver per month!"

From these figures, Huo Shan understood that Huo Jiajun did not get much wealth from within the Qing Dynasty! He also remembered a survey by the United States Bureau of Mines that he had seen in his previous life: by 1492, the world had produced about 7.6 billion ounces of silver (about 236,000 tons), and from 1493 to 1930. The world produced 14.97 billion ounces (about 466,000 tons) of silver, and the silver produced in 438 years is about twice as much as the silver produced in the previous 4,000 years. That's it. Before the Second Opium War in 1860, the Qing Dynasty, which still surpassed Europe and occupied the first place in the world economy, had at least 350,000 tons of silver, or even more!

The reason is that now Huo Jiajun has received less wealth from within the Qing Dynasty. It's because they're always in the villages. Even the official positions obtained through donations were mostly in remote prefectures and counties with underdeveloped economies! And most of the wealth of the entire Qing Dynasty was in the hands of the princes and nobles within the Qing Dynasty and the local big landlords!

"In addition, we have obtained 17,500,000 tons of gold and 455,000,000 taels of silver from all the countries of Indochina, including Malaya! Moreover, it is still growing at a rate of 15 tons of gold and 12,000,000 taels of silver per month! Next is the Nanyang and Pacific Islands, the bulk of our wealth! Here we have obtained 3,120 tons of gold, and more than 952,000,000 taels of silver!"

"With so much gold and silver wealth, this is really astronomical!" Huo Wolf, who had a comprehensive understanding of Huo Jiajun's financial income for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim. To know that these gold and silver numbers add up. But it was no more painstaking than him, and it took him two years of careful preparation. How much less is that huge fortune from the world's stock market!

Since ancient times, the South Seas and Indochina Peninsula have produced a lot of gold and silver. Moreover, this place is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the dignitaries and nobles are also very good at hiding gold and burying silver! Of course, the numbers accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years are not small! Moreover, the things we have done are all the work of raiding the family and exterminating the clan! If we dare not go all out in the Indochina Peninsula because they still have scruples about trying to assimilate them, then the natives in the South Seas and the Pacific Islands have all been squeezed out of any oil and water! Therefore, it is not strange that we can get so much wealth!" Huo Jiaguang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the wealth we have harvested from the United States, you must know that in the past few decades, the number of gold and silver deposits discovered in the western states of the United States is so large that the reserves are famous in the world!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

"Yes, young master! According to the investigation report submitted by the American Military Region, we have seized 1,200 tons of gold and about 525,000,000 taels of silver from this war!" After speaking, he glanced at Huo Shan, and after seeing that the young master didn't say anything, Huo Jiaguang continued: "In the past three years, we have harvested a total of 7,520 tons of gold and 2,286,000 taels of silver!"

As soon as Huo Jiaguang's words fell, Huang Sheng immediately said: "Don't look at the amount of gold and silver we have gotten, but under the condition that the gold cannot be moved, 228,600,000 taels of silver will be exchanged for our current silver dollars, which will be 278892,000 yuan, which is less than 3 billion yuan! If the western part of the United States can be brought under our rule, then the amount of investment will be doubled! Together with the 500 million pounds of orders we have promised to European countries, then we are expected to spend between 50~6 billion silver dollars in the first five-year plan! Even if we take into account the increase in our taxes, the wealth we have obtained from the Qing Dynasty and the colonies of Indochina, and the income from the gold and silver mines of our various jurisdictions, I am afraid that it will reach one billion dollars! Therefore, if we want to successfully complete the first five-year plan and lay the foundation of our Huo family's military industry, then we still have at least a 1 billion silver dollars in funds! Therefore, our funding gap is still very severe! We must open up sources and reduce expenditures, and make every effort to reduce the fiscal deficit!"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Huo Shan still heard the meaning of the teacher's words that he was against his army expansion!

"Teacher, in fact, the form is not as grim as you think! There are a lot of gold and silver mines in the western states of the United States, so according to the current technology, it is not too difficult to mine 50 tons of gold and 1,200 tons of silver from there every year! Even if the gold cannot be moved, 1,200 tons of silver, if it is exchanged for our silver dollars, there are 300 million, and even if it can only be mined for two years before the first five-year plan, there will be 600 million!"

"And teacher, in order to solve the internal financial embarrassment of the Huo Jiajun, the Huo family can use the method of borrowing money to hand over 2.5 billion silver dollars to the Government Council to support the economic and industrial development within the Huo Jiajun's territory!"

"Shan'er, you're not kidding, does the Huo family really have such money?" Huang Sheng couldn't help but ask. Although he knew that the Huo family was rich, and the early development of the Huo family army was mostly supported by the Huo family's finances, but being able to take out a huge wealth of 2.5 billion silver dollars in one go still surprised Huang Sheng, even Huo Di and Huo Jiaguang, the two descendants of the Huo family, couldn't help but look surprised!

You must know that before they entered the government affairs yuan and engaged in politics, they were all responsible persons of various industries of the Huo family, so they naturally knew how much the Huo family's annual income was! With 2.5 billion silver dollars, the wealth accumulated by the Huo family over the past few decades was really too far from this number! Among all the people present, only Huo Wolf understood what was going on!

"Of course, the Huo family is also conditional on lending so much money to the Government Council!" Looking at the three of them with suspicious expressions, Huo Shan said calmly.

"Shan'er, you are serious, no jokes!" Although Huo Shan had a series of extraordinary deeds before, Huang Sheng still asked again with some unease.

"Don't worry, teacher, since I say so, I naturally have complete certainty in my heart!"

"Okay, but you can't set the interest rate too high, otherwise the Government Council won't be able to change it!" Huang Sheng sighed and said immediately. Since Huo Shan was able to come up with such money to lend to the Government Council, Huang Sheng naturally would not refuse. After all, in the first five-year economic plan, there was still a huge fiscal deficit waiting to be made up with money! Moreover, with sufficient funds, many large-scale projects that had previously remained on paper due to financial difficulties could be put into operation!

"Teacher, don't worry, I don't want interest on this loan. As long as the 500 million pounds order that the Government Council once placed in Europe, all the money required will be paid by the Huo family!"

In this economic crisis, Huo Shan has gained more than two billion pounds of wealth, but it is too difficult to exchange them for gold and silver, and it is also easy to cause a sharp rise in the price of gold and silver, thus causing unnecessary losses! Therefore, it is the best choice to exchange the money that stays on paper for industrial equipment, steel, and other industrial manufactured products! However, Huo Jiajun can't use so many industrial products with his family alone! But Huo Jiajun can! In this way, with the large-scale procurement of the Huo family's military and government affairs yuan, the huge wealth harvested by the Huo family this time has also come back smoothly!

"That's just the condition?" Huang Sheng said with some disbelief. Although Huo Shan's influence within the Huo family army is increasing day by day, the finances between the Huo family army and the Huo family have long been separated! Moreover, in Huang Sheng's opinion, Huo Shan's condition is not a condition at all!

"Yes, teacher, you don't have to be surprised, Huo Jiajun grew up in my hands, it is powerful, of course I am happy to see it!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

The news that has gained a lot of money from the economic crisis has too great an impact, and Huo Shan is not ready to say it, even if it is his own teacher! It's not that he doesn't believe in Huang Sheng's loyalty, but he has to do it just in case! After all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future! )
