Chapter 1279: New Year, New Weather
However, Chang Lin naturally couldn't be here with Li Shimin, he concentrated on doing his own thing.
Seeing that tomorrow is the New Year, this new year Datang may be very exciting!
The Tang Yuanzheng Dynasty Meeting, the Tang Dynasty's Yuanzheng Dynasty Meeting is also constantly changing, it is estimated that it will be changed to the Chinese New Year's Eve in two years, and the official holiday will be taken at the beginning of the New Year.
And this year's Yuanzheng Dynasty Meeting can be regarded as a year of great changes, mainly because this year's Yuanzheng Dynasty Meeting has added a lot of young officials.
In addition, some aspects of the business of various departments in Shangshu Province have also begun to change this year.
"Now please report Datang's data on last year." After the ceremonial process for the beginning of the court meeting was processed, Chang Lin first announced the first thing.
The Statistics Temple is a brand-new department that has just been established this year, which is independent from the Central Qian Zhuang and directly belongs to the Shangshu Province, and is not under the jurisdiction of any one department.
is specifically independent to be responsible for Datang data statistics, and unlike previous years, the current person in charge of the statistics temple is also a woman.
However, she is not the secretary of the statistics temple, and the secretary of the statistics temple is temporarily concurrently served by Li Yan, and she serves as the secretary of the statistics temple.
"Wang Ying, the young secretary of the Minister's Statistics Temple, has seen Your Majesty." The woman in her twenties stood up and bowed.
Speaking of which, this one was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, but now she does not belong to the Wang family, she was the concubine of the Taiyuan Wang family, and she is not the main line of the Taiyuan Wang family, so there are naturally no restrictions on marriage and other aspects.
After all, the Taiyuan Wang family is very big, but she married a concubine son of Jingzhao Xu, this man from the Xu family is a scholar, and he is very good at arithmetic and other aspects, but unfortunately he died young, leaving two sons.
Wang Ying did not remarry, the Xu family is still doing well, after Xu's death, Wang Ying has been in charge of the family's affairs, and after she married Xu at the age of fourteen, she studied with her husband, so her arithmetic and other aspects are actually not bad.
This can be regarded as a talent discovered by Li Yan herself, which shows that in Datang, there are actually many outstanding women, but they can't get ahead most of the time.
"Well, let's talk about it." Li Shimin waved his hand very calmly.
"Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, colleagues. Last year was the 25th year of the Tang Dynasty, and according to the statistics of the Statistics Temple, in the 25th year of the Tang Dynasty, the tax revenue of the state treasury was 22.07 million yuan, the profits handed over by state-owned commercial banks were 17.5 million yuan, and the total financial revenue was 39.57 million yuan......"
“…… According to statistics, the total population of Datang is about 36.8 million, and it is expected that this year, that is, the 26th year of Datang, the total population of Datang will exceed 40 million, between 41 million and 42 million. ”
“…… At present, the country's main grain reserves are about 30 million tons. It is enough for the food rations of the whole Datang people for two years, and after statistics, the per capita food consumption of the people of Datang has increased, but the per capita food consumption near Chang'an has decreased. ”
"At present, the proportion of white flour and rice consumption in Datang is on the rise, and the planting and production of traditional grains such as corn are declining."
"According to the relevant data of the Ministry of Agriculture, the current potato output in Datang should almost reach about 30 million tons, and many people can hardly eat this amount."
"In addition, according to the data of the Ministry of Industry, the country's steel output reached 5.2 million tons last year, of which nearly 3 million tons were produced."
"In addition, coal and other related mineral resources are not detailed statistics, the current data is not very accurate, and we are seeking to include these mineral resources in the resource statistics project in the new year."
"The above is the relevant data statistics of this year's Datang Statistical Temple." Wang Ying read the report numbers they issued to everyone.
To be honest, this figure shocked everyone, because in the past, the relevant data statistics of Datang were still very slow, and many data were not transparent, such as steel production, etc., and many state-owned commercial banks in these areas were secretly producing and smelting.
Therefore, a lot of production was not reported, and even many commercial houses were not very clear to the imperial court.
But this number ...... It really made everyone's scalp tingle, Datang's treasury income was close to 40 million yuan, which they knew, almost four times more than six years ago, and all this was the credit of His Royal Highness.
The important thing is that this quadruple is that Datang has now abolished the agricultural tax, and if Datang does not cancel the agricultural tax, this tax will inevitably rise according to the current amount of grain.
And now that the people are growing so much food, it is obvious that the people have money in their hands, and when the people have money, it means that the people want to consume, whether it is salt, wear better clothes, more clothes, and eat more delicious food, build houses, buy iron tools, buy animal power, etc., these are all consumption.
And these consumption led to the prosperity of Datang's commerce, and the prosperity of Datang's commerce allowed Datang to have more tax revenues.
Although the current tax revenue of Datang is not enough to support the entire expenditure and development of Datang country, this is not important, it is good to directly issue treasury bonds, as long as Datang continues to develop rapidly, then there will be no problems with treasury bonds.
In addition, with the continuous development of state-owned commercial banks and private commercial banks across the country, more people will invest in industry, and the income in factories will continue to rise.
But what shocked them was this steel production, five million tons, what kind of concept is this?! As an official of Datang now, since the weights and measures of Datang began to be unified, everyone has a concept of the ton commonly used in large units.
One ton is almost equivalent to less than 2,000 catties of Datang before, so it is calculated according to 2,000 catties, how much is 5 million tons? This is equivalent to 10 billion catties! Before Datang, the country's iron output was only hundreds of thousands of catties, less than one million catties.
How many times has steel production increased now? More than 1,000 times!
The focus is not on the output of pig iron, but on the output of steel, which is shocking.
"Duan Lun." Li Shimin was also shocked, he hadn't paid attention to this for a long time, and now that he suddenly heard this shocking number, Li Shimin was also a little unstable.
"The minister is here."
"Is this now Datang's steel production already so much? In a matter of years? Li Shimin's face was incredulous.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, this is all thanks to the new technology brought by the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, the improvement of the iron-making and steel-making industry, and of course, the development of the most important coal-producing and coking industries."
"However, the current steel production of Datang may maintain this figure for many years." Duan Lun said quickly.
