After listening to all the lists, the officials found that Dagan now has 63 general soldiers. According to what the emperor said, each general has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, and Dagan has a total of nearly one million soldiers and horses.

These are not the Ming soldiers and horses at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but nearly a million soldiers, including hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the original Ding Yi, some surrendered soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, peasant soldiers, Fan soldiers, Mongolian Jurchen soldiers, and later Recruited locally.

Those who have survived until now are basically elites in all battles.

After five years as a soldier, he can retire voluntarily. Those who do not want to retire can serve for another three years, and eight years at the latest.

After retiring, they will be transferred to reserve service. In the event of a major national war, they will be recruited again at any time if necessary.

After retiring, soldiers are given priority to transfer to public positions such as local officials and village chiefs.

After all the appointments were completed, someone reported that after the first imperial examination and Ding Yi's early recruitment of officials, the total number of officials in Dagan is now close to 100 million.

The total number of soldiers is 98, and the hoarding is close to 40.

The Dagan Dynasty had to support more than 200 million people a year.

Lu Daqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, asked, can the imperial court afford it?

The number of officials in Dagan has exceeded that of Ming Dynasty by several times, and those who retire will be given priority to join in the future. Lu Daqi is worried that more and more people will be financially burdened.

To be honest, Ding Yi does have a lot of officials now.

The Dagan Dynasty now has about 600 counties, with an average of more than [-] officials in each county, dozens of times more than the previous Ming Dynasty.

But for the big officials, this time all the official craftsmen, teachers, doctors, etc. are counted in it, that is to say, just like the later generations, as long as they eat financial food, they are all big officials.

There are more people than in previous dynasties, and the financial pressure is also great, but in comparison, the central\central government's control over the lower levels has been greatly enhanced.

It can be said that the official documents issued by the Dagan court can be executed as soon as possible below.

It is an eternal truth that it is easier to do things with more people.

Ding Yi's organization has reached the level of the village group, and the government's decree will be spread to the village and the people smoothly. This kind of control is not as good even in later generations.

Later generations are easy to deceive the superior and the inferior, and act in the opposite direction, but in the big work, at least no one dares to do so now.

And Ding Yi is improving the system, so as to finally ensure that the government's government orders in the future will be well implemented from the central\central to the local.

"All the ministers are here today. Let the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Household Affairs report this year's income to everyone." Ding Yi was in a good mood and wanted to show off.

All civil and military officials looked at it one after another.

Chen Youfu, Minister of the Household Department, stood up first.

"It's only the beginning of December today. According to the statistics of our household department, the autumn grain will be harvested in November. Because of the long distance from Annan, the statistics only cover the first two seasons (Annan can grow three rice crops a year)."

"The country, including overseas, and Annan Province, currently have about 200 million hectares of land."

That is more than 12 billion mu.

In the first eleven months of this year, the national grain tax was 4000 million shi, of which Annan contributed 500 million shi.

The officials were in an uproar, especially the officials of the former Ming Dynasty were stunned.

Because the Ming Dynasty had more than 2000 million stones over the years, and the highest did not exceed 3000 million.

In the first year of Ding Yi's accession to the throne, it reached more than 4000 million shi.

There is still not much production in many places, and the overall situation is still under the conditions of the end of Ming Dynasty.

Ding Yi was given three years to build water conservancy and promote high-yielding crops. Chen Youfu said that as long as there are no major natural disasters, it will be no problem to reach [-] million shi in three to five years.

According to the current number of acres, as long as the tax revenue is [-]%, and the yield per mu is two stones, it can reach [-] million taxes.

In fact, in order not to put pressure on the people and stabilize the domestic situation, Ding Yi formulated the formula of dividing the income into the mu, the tax was greatly reduced, and it was not so high, and the yield per mu was also different. Southwest regions such as Guizhou and Guangxi had much lower yields. , so Ding Yi can finally receive [-] million, which is considered very good.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the empire distributed food, silver, and even salt instead.

This is because the national food is not enough.

But Ding Yi only distributed food and silver, and it was a voluntary choice. In the 18th year of Chongzhen, everyone still chose more food, because they wanted to ensure that they were full.

After entering Rende, I found that there was not much shortage of food and the country was stable, so everyone began to choose more silver slowly.

After the new silver coins came out, the world was basically stable, and even the common people had something to eat. Now all the officials basically take silver.

Facts have proved that officials in prosperous times are willing to take silver for their salaries, while in troubled times they like to take food.

If the officials and soldiers took food like the Ming Dynasty, Ding Yi's more than 4000 million stone grains would not be enough to pay.

Fortunately, everyone is taking silver now, and Ding Yi is the least short of silver now. He got two to three hundred million silver from various scraps in the early stage.

Later, he began to mint new coins in exchange for the gold and silver in the hands of the people all over the country. Now he has exchanged for how much gold and silver in the treasury, and it is still going on.

But I have to say that because everyone has a lot of money and has spending power, domestic prices have risen a little recently.

"As of December this year, the household treasury and provinces across the country have stockpiled 100 million shi of grain."

"The Ministry of Finance deposits more than 1000 million taels of silver."

Speaking of this, Ding Yi pretended to be nonchalant and glanced at the officials. After all, most of the money was robbed in the early stage.

He forcibly relied on early money grabbing to prop up the newly established Daqian Empire.

The ministers obviously didn't have time to think about where Ding Yi got so much money, and where did he get so much money.

They were shocked one after another, and all of them showed ecstasy.

Especially those ministers and generals who have experienced the hardships of the Ming Dynasty, and the new generals, let them feel the real vitality and wealth.

And everyone also knows that only a few places in the world, such as Shandong, Taiyuan, and Jeju, are collecting business taxes. Starting next year, the whole country will start collecting business taxes, and the treasury revenue will be even more impressive.

The money in front was snatched by Ding Yi, but it is nothing, the taxation in the back is the foundation of a stable dynasty.
