Chapter 367： Financial budget

In addition to taxation, the UOB Army also confiscated all the assets that originally belonged to the old Zhu family during its expansion.

Some officials who refused to surrender, or committed serious crimes, also ransacked their homes.

There is also a lot of income in this area, a full value of 25 million. However, this is a one-time income, and unless you continue to expand the site in the future, there will be no.

Continue to expand, this kind of loot will not be as much as before.

After all, the wealthier places in the world are almost all occupied by them.

In places like Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, the princes surnamed Zhu are not much wealthy.

After talking about this year's taxes, Qian Taoli continued to talk about this year's expenditures.

"This year's expenditure is not small. In terms of military expenditure, up to now, 35 million taels have been spent. The investment in major industries has reached 44 million taels, and the support for agriculture is as high as 5 million taels. , The total administrative expenditure is five million taels, and the expenditure on other aspects is nearly five million taels.

In other words, this year we not only have no surplus, but also a fiscal deficit of 11 million taels. "

Many people were shocked to hear that the court still owed more than ten million taels of silver in debt.

They hadn't turned their minds yet, thinking that it was a great thing to owe ten million taels of silver.

After all, if the imperial court in the Chongzhen era owed ten million taels, I am afraid it would never be able to fill this hole, and the imperial court would be shaken.

However, they ignored the current fiscal revenue situation of the Great China Empire.

Based on this year’s tax revenue and the development of industry and commerce, next year’s tax revenue may reach hundreds of millions.

Then, this tens of millions of debts is not a problem.

After talking about the situation this year, everyone is still waiting for Qian Taoli to speak.

No matter how much income or expenditure this year is, it is not the highlight of today.

Those are all things that have passed. Everyone is now staring at next year's taxation, trying to grab a budget from it.

Upon seeing this, Qian Taoli continued: "According to the predictions of the Statistics Department, next year China's commerce and industry will continue to maintain a rapid development trend, so the commercial tax will continue to increase.

There should be little change in agriculture. According to forecasts, next year's total tax revenue can reach 100 million yuan, of which commercial taxes account for about 80 million yuan. "

When everyone heard that the budget for next year was 100 million taels of silver, they all smiled.

One hundred million taels, which is an astronomical figure.

There are a few military commanders with a low level of education, and they simply can't understand how big the figure of 100 million is.

Ten thousand ten thousand? This is not very vivid and hard to understand.

"One hundred million taels is not more than more, and less is not too much. We can discuss how to use it. The basic principle is that in addition to the necessary expenditures, more investment in development must be taken into account."

Wu Changqing said.

The more investment in development, the greater the return.

Just like the investment in major factories this year, although the support for those factories has cost more than 40 million taels, but in the future, their annual output will be almost 20 to 30 million, and it will be able to pay back in less than two years. The rest is net profit.

Of course, it cannot be said that for the sake of development, even some current problems that need to be solved are ignored. Just like military spending, disaster relief, and urban construction, these must be allocated.

There are also administrative expenses, and it is impossible not to pay officials’ salaries. With the expansion of the site and the increase of officials, this administrative expenditure will rise again next year.

How to find a balance between development and the present is today's issue.

Of course, this is the result Wu Changqing hopes for, but let the people below discuss it, they may not be able to be completely impartial.

People in various departments will probably find ways to get more funds for their departments.

"Development is very important. In order to provide a more stable environment for development, it is important to smooth out the remnants of Ming and Qing. Therefore, military spending cannot be less."

Li Shaobin took the lead to speak. I don't know which adviser he said this. At first glance, it seems reasonable.

"Military expenditure must not be small, but there is a very bad waste phenomenon in the army. Excessive dependence on artillery and firearms not only costs a lot of money, but also makes the army lose its blood and become incapable of hand-to-hand combat. This is not good. phenomenon."

Ma Shiying said.

He is a little bit uncomfortable with the current army. A battle will consume thousands of grenades, bullets and artillery shells.

The manufacturing cost of a grenade is one or two silver, and a howitzer is even more expensive. No matter where you are fighting, you are clearly throwing money at the enemy.

These are all consumables, and one shot will cost one less shell. No matter how thick a family is, they can’t hold it.

In the past, the army’s weapons mainly consisted of broadswords and spears. The broadswords had been cut for half a month and the edges of the blades had been cut, and they could continue to be used after sharpening them, basically without consumption.

Dahua's army is powerful, but it is also based on huge consumption. If there is no sufficient logistics supply, the combat power of the UOB Army will drop by several grades.

"What do you mean by that, if you don’t use fire suppression, how can the enemy be timid? Without fire suppression, the army’s casualties will at least double. Those soldiers who died or were disabled cost more. If you don’t know how to fight, don’t do it. Nonsense."

Li Shaobin retorted.

It is true that their army often wastes ammunition, but without so many ammunition pouring over, how can the enemy army be afraid?

If the enemy is not afraid, they will resist, and they will die more people.

In another army, people would rather die than spend more money.

But they can't. The soldier welfare established by Wu Changqing has caused them to attach importance to the lives of soldiers.

If a soldier is killed or disabled, it will cost more money.

Ma Shiying got angry when he heard this. He had also led soldiers before, and at his age, he was now questioned about not knowing how to fight.

"Commander Li, don't get excited, Master Ma means less and no one will have less money for the army. However, the army should also develop a hard work style."

Ruan Dacheng made a round, and the military snorted.

Because Wu Changqing is still there, both sides are still restrained.

If Wu Changqing wasn't there, I would say to Ma Shiying that the army was not bloody, and the military might have to fight Ma Shiying.

"The military will have a heavy task next year. It will fight on two fronts, and as the battle progresses, the front will become longer and longer, and it will be more difficult to supply logistics..."

Tao Dongcheng began to explain the problem from a factual level.

Their previous battles were all around Nanjing. The distance was close and it was easy to replenish them.

But next year, they will fight in Henan and Hebei, and they will even fight outside the pass.

This is too far away from Nanjing. A hundred catties of grain is transported from Nanjing to outside the customs, and the loss on the road accounts for at least 70%.

Fujian is not too far from Nanjing, but the road is not easy, and its logistics and transportation are also a big problem.

In short, Tao Dongcheng meant that the army will need to spend more next year.

In the end, he reported a number, 55 million taels, 20 million taels more than this year.

As soon as this count came out, other civil servants were immediately unhappy.

The finances estimate that next year's tax revenue will be only 100 million. This army will directly cost more than half, and the remaining a dozen departments will be divided into 45 million. That is really too much.

After listening to Tao Dongcheng's asking price, the civil officer immediately retorted.
