Chapter 996: This is GDP
"The minister is here." The gray-haired Yu Shinan stood up.
"Yu Aiqing sit, King Qin is crowned this year, and the wedding is immediately after the crown, have the six ceremonies been prepared?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Yan in the crowd couldn't help but blush slightly when she heard this, but now that she is the Shangshu of the Datang Central Bank, she can only try to be as serious as possible.
"It's all ready, just wait for it to be executed according to the time." Yu Shinan said with a calm face.
"Well, yes, everything else can go wrong, King Qin and the crown and the big wedding can't go wrong, and he prepares the dowry himself?" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, he has money, I heard that King Qin's money is all used in the treasury." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Ministers; “……”
"Is Huangfulin here?" Li Shimin glanced at it and asked.
"Your Majesty, the revenue of the twenty-second year of the Tang Dynasty and the relevant treasury income are being counted, and the Huangfu Shangshu went to the reserve warehouse outside the city, not in the city." Fang Xuanling said.
"Oh, I'm looking for the wrong person, it should be looking for Doulu Shangshu (Doulu is the compound surname), right, they are the audit department." Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Haven't the relevant financial revenues of Datang been calculated for the past 22 years?" ”
Ministers: "......"
Everyone was completely speechless, my majesty, don't you even know what your departments do?
"Your Majesty, the main role of the Audit Department is to audit and supervise the use of the imperial court's finances by various departments of the imperial court. The end of the year and the beginning of the year are the busiest times for the audit department, and Doulu Shangshu is not there. Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment but then spoke.
"Okay, then Datang's twenty-two years of financial revenue hasn't come out yet, right? Do you expect to surpass last year? Li Shimin looked at them and asked, he was not embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the specific figures have not yet been counted, but the central money bank has already had an approximate figure through the data reconciliation of various departments, and the imperial court tax alone cannot exceed last year." Li Yan spoke.
"Tell me." Li Shimin immediately asked with interest.
"Yes, Datang's fiscal revenue in the 21st year is about 17 million yuan, and this year's treasury tax revenue of Datang is about 11.72 million yuan, a decrease of about 6 million yuan, mainly because all agricultural taxes have been subsidized, which is equivalent to canceling twice the agricultural tax, and the agricultural tax subsidy spent by the central bank is currently 3.25 million yuan. That number is set to rise. ”
"But the state-owned commercial banks of Datang in 22 years can probably expect to hand over a profit of about 10.77 million yuan, that is, the total income of Datang's treasury will exceed 21 million yuan." Li Yan directly gave an approximate figure.
"Good!" Li Shimin couldn't help but shout hello, and even the other ministers were a little sideways, last year's agricultural tax subsidy was very outrageous in their opinion, and the imperial court was completely exempt from taxes It was already an unprecedentedly powerful empire.
Not to mention that instead of being tax-free, it is also giving money! Many of them actually wanted to oppose this matter at that time, but King Qin's statement at the time was that how much the court lacked, he would make up for it himself, and he would give subsidies anyway.
Outcome...... It's really not less? Oh, no, the tax must be less, after all, the agricultural tax is not only abolished, but also reversed, which is equivalent to the reduction of the agricultural tax before the double, and there are still more than 10 million taxes in taxes, so you can imagine how much income from the commercial tax is.
The point is the profits handed over by the state-owned commercial banks, and the profits of the state-owned commercial banks are so big?!
They're all a little overwhelmed.
"So, our agricultural tax subsidy has been successful?" Li Shimin asked.
"If you go back to Your Majesty, after monitoring the relevant industry expenditures of state-owned commercial banks, we can probably predict that at least 90 percent of the funds we have distributed through agricultural tax subsidies and other means will be repatriated through state-owned commercial banks."
"In addition, a lot of the income from the sale of grain by the people has also been repatriated through the state-owned commercial banks, mainly the state-owned commercial banks that have adopted new technology and have very low costs. In addition, last year, a large number of gate valve families purchased a large number of looms, spinning machines and other machines through several state-owned machinery factories. ”
"These machines also have a lot of profit on their own. This trend will increase this year, and according to last year's situation, the profits handed over by state-owned commercial banks across the country this year may be several times higher than the tax revenue. Li Yan asked with a calm face.
All the ministers gasped, last year's tax revenue was about 10 million, and this year's tax revenue is not increased, and the profits paid by state-owned commercial banks are several times higher than the taxes? Doesn't that mean that the tax revenue of Datang's treasury will exceed tens of millions of yuan this year, that is, in the twenty-three years of Datang?!
Where did all this money come from?
"Li Shangshu." Gao Shilian next to him hesitated and said.
"Shen Guogong." Li Yan owed Gao Shilian slightly.
"Li Shangshu, I have a question, that is, the income of the Tang Dynasty treasury has increased so rapidly, is it because too much money has been printed and caused by false prosperity? Will it affect the stability of society? Where did the money come from? Gao Shilian asked.
Li Shimin smiled, he knew this question, but now, he waved his hand and said, "Li Shangshu, it just so happens that I also want to know, you can explain it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Shen Guogong, ladies and gentlemen, Datang Central Bank did not issue additional currency, and the additional issuance of paper money has a strict calculation formula, which is equivalent to the total value of the commodities circulating in Datang. ”
"The reason why there is such an income depends mainly on several aspects, the first is that the income of the people has increased, they have grown high-yield food, and after the production of this food, the added value will naturally increase. The amount of grain that Datang increased last year was more than in previous years, and the central bank probably issued more currency. ”
"In addition, the state-owned commercial bank Datang Iron Group has begun to mine iron ore in various Daozhou in Datang, and these extra ores, as well as the people's monthly money, are all commodity values."
"And then now the steel mills are smelting a lot of steel all over the country, and after these steels are sold to the people, there is a lot of income."
"Of course, the price of steel is also falling. The third reason is that because of the prosperity of the economy, the rapid development of commerce, and the rapid expansion of industry, the wealthy people of the gate valve families all over the world have dug up the gold, silver and copper coins they have stored, and then used these copper coins to start depositing in the central bank, and this part of the money has also begun to enter the Tang Dynasty society and begin to circulate. ”
"As long as the money circulates, the financial revenue of the imperial court will naturally increase."
"If you have time, you can go to the homes of the people around Chang'an, and in the past, in the homes of these people around Chang'an, it was great that a family could find an iron tool. But now, there are at least several pieces of iron in each house, and even iron pots are beginning to spread rapidly. Li Yan said with a smile.
