After pondering for a long time, Zhao Jun waved his hand: "This king already knows about this matter, and there will be arrangements."

But the number of granaries is a matter of imminence, and at the rate of our expansion, twenty granaries are necessarily not enough.

Let's triple the number of granaries built in each county to store our grain taxes for three years.

Even at our current grain tax rate, three years of grain storage is enough for us to cope with many situations.

In addition, the king has some ideas about the cultivation methods and the collection of grain taxes in Nanli County and Woye County today, so I will find a time to discuss it with you later. ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Li Yi did not continue to let Zhao Jun make a decision now, he also knew that this matter was so important that it could not be decided easily, and it needed to be carefully considered.

After all, there will be no trivial matter when it comes to the army.

The matter of military restrictions was put aside for the time being, and Li Yi continued to report on the tax situation for this season.

"Lord Wang, in addition to the three annual grain tax collections, this year's annual commercial miscellaneous tax collection has also ended.

In terms of the performance of the collection of commercial miscellaneous tax, the performance of Nanli County and the newly collected Woye County is much worse than that of my Yunzhou County, and the combined commercial miscellaneous tax of the two counties does not exceed one million taels, and Yunzhou County due to the fact that iron products have entered the customs tax exemption this year, the tax revenue of this industry has risen sharply, from one million taels per year before, and it has risen three times!

It has reached a new high of 3 million taels, plus the main tax industries such as salt, cloth, tea, coal and construction, as well as the taxes of the rest of the industries in various markets, etc., the total tax and silver in Yunzhou County this year is 43 million and 5,736 taels!

Among them, the tax revenue of iron, salt, tea, cloth, coal, construction and other industries accounts for seventy percent of the total!

The rest of the industries accounted for a total of 30%.

Compared with last year's 38 million taels, the commercial tax has increased by nearly 5 million taels, setting a new high in all years! ”

"So much up?"

Zhao Jun was surprised to hear that the business tax had risen by nearly five million taels of silver compared to last year.

Although he knew that as Yunzhou County accepted a large number of displaced people to bear the burden, after digesting these displaced people, the economy of the entire Yunzhou County and its affiliated forces would usher in a period of demographic dividend.

The economy of the entire Yunzhou County will also rise as the original shortage of population is filled.

But he didn't expect that less than half a year had passed, and it was nearly five million taels more than last year!

You must know that even the Great Song Dynasty court's annual tax revenue is only worth 200 million silver!

This is the sum of all taxes, including the grain tax, which is also the bulk of the amount.

And the commercial tax of Yunzhou County alone in one year has reached more than 40 million taels, close to 50 million taels, which is as much as a quarter of the imperial court!

This is still compared with the Great Song Dynasty, if it is compared with some small countries in the Western Regions, the tax revenue of Yunzhou County is comparable to the tax revenue of a country for ten years.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jun asked solemnly: "Excluding the operation of Yunzhou County and various needs, how much can be saved?" ”

Li Yi quickly calculated it in his heart, and after comparing last year's consumption, he estimated:

"Throughout this year, our Yunzhou County first recruited nearly one million displaced people in Guannai on a large scale, and in order to settle these displaced people, the Yunzhou County Finance used a total of 20 million taels of silver.

Coupled with the expansion of the armed forces by nearly 100,000, it is expected that military spending will rise from the current 5 million taels a year to 10 million taels in the future.

This is the first year, and nearly 10 million taels have been spent on the training and equipment of the new army alone.

In terms of military spending alone, this year's total expenditure is already nearly 20 million taels.

In addition, to maintain the normal operation of Yunzhou County, the reserve silver of the year is prepared to deal with unexpected situations.

For the whole year of this year, Yunzhou County needs to spend a total of 50 million taels of silver!

In the end, although Yunzhou County's commercial tax this year was large, it was still insufficient, and it was nearly six million taels of silver.

This year's fiscal revenue and expenditure is a deficit, and it is necessary to use the reserve silver of previous years to be sufficient! ”

"Shhh

After getting this result, not only Zhao Jun, but even the county Cheng Jiang and the county lieutenant Zhu Tuo, who had been listening behind Li Yi, couldn't help but gasp with Zhao Jun.

Who would have thought that the annual expenditure of a Yunzhou County could reach 50 million taels, and a quarter of the annual tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty was so much!

Yunzhou County's record high tax is not enough, but it still owes six million taels, and it needs to use the reserve silver of previous years to be enough!

Zhao Jun rubbed his forehead with a headache, originally he thought that with more than 40 million taels of taxes a year, Yunzhou County was going to become rich.

But as soon as the results are calculated, it is not enough!

From a rich man to a loser in an instant!

What a response to the saying that the world is impermanent!

Just when Zhao Jun had a headache, Li Yibutan comforted: "

The prince doesn't have to worry, this year is because of the expenditure on the homeless people and the army, which has such a high expenditure, and it won't be so much next year, not to mention anything else, as long as Yunzhou County no longer continues to recruit homeless people, the 20 million taels of silver resettled by the homeless people can be surplus.

As for the army, now that the new army has taken shape and all kinds of armaments have been purchased, the consumption of military spending is only 10 million taels per year.

If these two items are saved, it will be 30 million taels, and next year's expenditure will be controlled at around 20 million taels, of which military spending will account for the lion's share.

Judging from the current trend of Yunzhou County, next year's commercial tax will usher in an increase, and it is expected that we will have a balance of nearly 30 million taels of silver by next year. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jun and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, the big fact that there are too many things to do this year, and it is natural to consume a lot.

It would be good to wait until next year, and there will be a balance next year.

Zhao Jun can only temporarily suppress the thought that just welled up in his heart, but this year it will not work.

I can only wait until next year, after all, once this thing starts, the consumption of silver will inevitably be a lot.

It can only be postponed for the time being.

This is Zhao Jun's beautiful vision for next year.

And so everyone thinks.

……

After sorting out his chaotic thoughts a little, Zhao Jun made a summary: "In other words, we have a large amount of grain surplus this year, and not only do we have to post some of the surplus in terms of silver?" ”

Li Yi first nodded and then shook his head: "Lord Wang, we have too much grain, and now we can't store it completely, so there must be a large part of it to be sold."

According to the current grain prices, even if the price of grain is lowered due to the large number of our grain entering the market, we are expected to harvest nearly 18 million taels of silver by selling 10 million quintals of grain.

In this way, we will not only be able to clear up some of the grain storage problems, but we will also be able to fill up this year's fiscal deficit and have a surplus of nearly 12 million taels. ”

"Do you still have a balance of nearly twelve million taels?"

Li Yi nodded: "It can be used to build sixty granaries in each county, and this year's revenue and expenditure should be balanced." ”

As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, they hoped to have a lot of savings, but before they knew it, they suddenly felt that it was a good thing to be able to break even!
