Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 140 Spending Money Rolls Like Running Water

Wait for Zhu Daohua to sit down.

Luo Fangbo began to vomit bitterness, counting with his fingers how much money the Ming court can spend now.

indeed.

Compared with the Qing Dynasty.

Although the fiscal revenue of the Great Ming Dynasty was much higher, the expenditure was also much higher than that of the Great Qing Dynasty.

The bulk of this year's expenditure is mainly in several aspects.

The first is military spending.

In the battle of Jiangxi with the Qing Dynasty, the 10,000+ army consumed a lot of people eating horse chews.

At the same time, there are subsidies for wounded soldiers and pensions for fallen soldiers.

In addition to the consumption of firearms, artillery, and ammunition for war, as well as transportation costs, the employment of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and auxiliary troops was also pulled from the plate of military expenditures.

Those Zhu Daohua and others agree with low wages and cleanliness and crackdown on corruption.

That policy was first tried out in Guangzhou Prefecture.

On top of the superposition of those reasons.

It is not the two policies currently being tried by the Xiaoming court.

Now the two cities are mainly besieged rather than attacked, with political offensives as the main focus.

Besides.

Is the only shortcoming. Not too expensive.

If at that time, a big money case was made because of greed, it would not be that there would be no future for a lifetime.

They didn't go down the evil path of "parliamentary constitutionalism"!
That's true, who knows in Guangdong now that King Ming is not the little guy's God of Wealth.

Compared with European countries, it is much worse.

And the situation where the official system is relatively clean.

Corruption is of course to be eradicated, because human nature is greedy.

The two places in Yunnan and Guizhou are already poor, so we can expect to get something from those two provinces.

Seeing Bai Haoshu and Ye Daoqi still looked puzzled.

In addition to the ceremony, it is also open to spectators, which is also a channel that cannot allow the people at the bottom to speak directly to Tianting.

"Yes, it's less likely that such a thing will happen."

Those officials are actually part of the bureaucratic system, but we are always at the bottom of the bureaucracy, and there will always be no room for advancement.

Even if it is broken, the regiment training in those two places has shrunk, and the Fujian regiment training has shrunk to Fuzhou City. Headed by the Jinghaihou Shi family in the Qing Dynasty, the total number of people is less than [-].

Yang Lianjin seemed to see what Zhu Daohua was thinking.

The effect is still wrong.

Yang Lianjin sighed in his heart.

Moreover, the lack of ambiguity among officials is not conducive to the court's decision-making.

The cost of military expenditure, local consolidation and reconstruction must be said to be what is paid.

But the current Xiaoming court can do this, because raising money is to develop industries, and the businessman is most afraid of bringing out bureaucrats.

Hearing this, Bai Haoshu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But it is always less bad than using officials to govern the people later.

That is taking the lonely king as a sheep.

The merchants in the Little Qing Dynasty were all parasites clinging to the bureaucracy and imperial power. Therefore, even though the commodity economy in the Qing Dynasty was prosperous, it was impossible to develop capitalism.

It is between knowing and feeling.

It is estimated that 20 Wei-class ironclad ships will be built in the early stage.

Those officials are so cruel that they took out Xiao Lao Te for nothing.

I stood up and said, "Your Prime Minister, he must think that the little Ming Dynasty belongs to the lonely king, so it is only natural for you to pay some money, right?"

Because those who can pass the exam in Guangzhou government are all the sons of local landlords and businessmen in Guangzhou.

The whole province of Guangdong costs so much money. Wouldn't it be more acceptable if the next step is to promote the appointment of talented officials as officials in Hunan?

It is because of the system of the Little Qing Dynasty that the Four Banners and the Han gentry were lying under the special Han people to suck blood, and the small families happily shared the bills together. Naturally, the so-called corruption is corruption.

Lianlianjin cannot be obtained through the spies of Jinyiwei, the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or even the interviews and reports of reporters from "Xiaogongbao" and "Sun Moon Daily".

Zhu Daohua and Ye Daoqi looked at each other and blinked.

The latter is an organization organized by the Xiaoming court to discuss business taxes with merchants from all over the country. Without that organization, the merchants would have little contact with the Xiaoming court, and the local officials would be a little hesitant if they wanted to carefully oppress and exploit merchants.

The entire court of Xiao Ming belongs to him, so why pay some money?
"Military expenses require money, and raising officials requires money. Now the imperial court's budget for this year is basically going to be spent. Next, Anjing Jiangxi, northern Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces will all cost money. Hunan will also implement the policy of scholar-officials. , it costs money even more, there are places where money is spent everywhere."

Now that institution has not been put into operation in various parts of Guangdong.

Bai Haoshu also expected it.

That actually brought out the embryonic form of Xiaoming's central government and local councils.

The situation in that respect.

"Guwang's business is the kind of business that can obviously return the capital." Yang Lianjin said, "It's true, but the issuance of debts is a waste of money."

One is the policy of "nourishing honesty" and the other is the policy of "brilliant officials".

The so-called policy of maintaining integrity is not that the Ming court slightly lowered the salaries of officials on the one hand, at most it was lower than that of the Qing Tartars.

"Calculated according to the amount of banknotes issued, the imperial court collects tax on banknotes issued in proportion. The amount of banknotes issued must be linked to the amount of reserves absorbed."

Although very few bureaucrats in Xin Xiaoming came from intellectuals in the Manchu and Qing era, the overall bureaucracy is still wrong.

The pension is that if there is no problem of corruption before the official retires, he cannot receive a monthly sum and [-]% of the salary I received under the most recent official position as the "corruption fund".

Only when the future is bleak and promotion is expected.

Through the system to suppress corruption as much as possible.

Whoever does business with King Ming makes a lot of money.

"That head can be opened. The money of Xiao Ming's court can only come from legal and compliant channels."

Therefore, the money-making methods invented by those officials to exploit the people are really varied.

Coupled with the completion of the large-scale military expansion last year, the army expanded from 3 to 20 in one breath.

It's not that you can get an official just by passing the provincial examination and getting the title of scholar.

"How about the authorization fee?"

Could it be?
At the same time, there are not yet two newly established institutions under the local government, the "Commercial and Taxation Bureau" and the "Yili Xiaohui".

It is not to go to the township or town level to become a local high official to replace the clan and gentry's rule over the county level and above.

So Zhu Ming's talented officials just got official, on the one hand, they have learned how to make money, on the other hand, they also cherish feathers, they are too daring to make money.

"This is absurd. Heaven is the heaven of heaven and man. The so-called heaven is for the public. The solitary king makes rituals, clears the law of rituals, and establishes order. Everyone must respect the rituals and act according to the rituals, so that the sky can be orderly. The emperor What belongs to the emperor, what belongs to the imperial court belongs to the imperial court, what belongs to the common people belongs to the common people, and the solitary king makes rituals. The most important aspect is not to clarify public and private property rights and property rights.”

In addition, there are still many green battalion soldiers who have surrendered.

The main members are scholars who are not influential in the local area, wealthy families, and some soldiers of the Ming army who entered the army due to injuries (those noble families usually do not have a highest-ranking gentry).

Corruption, oppression of civilians and the like can be said.

Bai Haoshu said immediately.

Low salaries require money to maintain integrity, and scholars require money to be officials.

There is no Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there is no media supervision such as newspapers.

No matter how lowly the officials of the Xiaoming court felt, this other expense was unnecessary.

Zhu Daohua sighed and said, then looked at Yang Lianjin. ,

That Zhuming Dynasty.

Xiao Ming's gift is to extensively solicit suggestions and opinions from all walks of life.

The Zhejiang regiments shrank to Hangzhou, headed by Sun Shiyi, the governor of Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty, with a total number of less than [-] people.

At first, it was gathered outside Baihao Shuna, and before Yang Lianjin and my Ritual Association discussed it, the seal of King Ming was stamped and formed.

Compared with Manqing, it is muddy, but I know it is many times less.

It looks like he is about to follow the footsteps of Zhao Song's redundant officials.

The method is also to learn from the modern times, not to establish a supervision system, to support the honesty with low wages, and to establish a pension for the maintenance of honesty.

Yang Lianjin squinted at Ye Daoqi.

"Your Majesty, you are the richest man in Xiaoming. What if... you can pay the imperial court to fill that hole?"

Yang Lianjin paced back and forth a few steps.

It is said that officials in the Qing Dynasty were corrupt, but objectively speaking, based on the salaries of officials in the Qing Dynasty, if an official was corrupt, his basic life would be a problem.

This counts.

Daddy is really a genius.
special circumstances.

Those provinces need to be taken up and stabilized, and it will cost at most 800 million Ming Yuan.

Then there is local reconstruction.

Hubei and Qichuan were originally rich and prosperous.

Yang Lianjin waved his hand under the horse and said: "Yes but yes yes, although the lonely king has no money, but the money belongs to you personally, you Xiaoming must be tolerant and distinguish between public and private, how can you learn how to blackmail merchants' money when they move? "

"You understand, Your Majesty, what you mean is that your internal money and the imperial treasury are the same thing, and they can be confused." Ye Daoqi said.

The Ming Dynasty's military budget of 600 million Ming Yuan last year was about to bottom out, and for this reason, it also issued 300 million ten-year special national bonds for war.

But it was broken by the White Lotus Sect, and the training of the Qichuan Regiment in Chengdu who had not cleared the Tartars had to be solved.

And now that agency is much less of an opinion-gathering agency.

"It's so bad. The imperial court will issue general government bonds. If you pay for the purchase, you will first be issued 400 million yuan, which will be repaid in 100 years."

The magistrate who ransacked the house, and the county magistrate who exterminated the family.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty Navy will also carry out the reform of iron armor.

The supervision system includes supervision while in office and accountability before leaving office.

Northern Fujian and Zhejiang are even worse.

In addition, Zhu Ming's system is also a bureaucratic system of supervision with a few measures.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of the bureaucracy in the pension fund-of course it is possible to completely eliminate it, but at most it must suppress the greed of the bureaucracy.

He said that King Zhu Xiaoming was really boring.

"In addition, increase the issuance of Mingyuan silver coins and increase the issuance of Mingyuan coupons. The Guwanghui will authorize a "Bank Law", and the imperial court will authorize Xiaoming Royal Bank not to issue Mingyuan coupons."

"In that way, the cabinet will first issue 800 million Ming Yuan ten-year national debts in the name of the imperial court, the lonely king will claim 800 million, and the other 800 million will be distributed to the Guangdong market. .”

Within this year, seven and a half provinces of northern Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Qichuan will be taken.

The former is a non-governmental deliberative structure set up at the central and local levels before the Yanglianjin decided to make rituals.

However, the possibility of using force was ruled out.

Are you a barter merchant?
What makes it quite difficult for us to accept is the policy of "scholars become officials".

Last year, the military alone spent almost 1000 million yuan, 600 million yuan from the finance department, and 300 million yuan from the issuance of bonds.

Jiangxi was basically smashed to pieces. Within two or three years, the entire province of Jiangxi would have to provide financial subsidies from the Ming court, and it was unlikely that they would be able to collect taxes.

Bai Hao said with relief.
You are King Ming!

For example, explain the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
