Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 215 This year's finances, deficit?
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Jun waved his hand: "This king has already known about this matter and will make arrangements.

But the number of granaries is an immediate problem. With our expansion speed, twenty granaries are definitely not enough.

Let's do this, triple the number of granaries built in each county, and build them on the basis of being able to store our grain tax for three years.

Even with our current grain tax standards, three years of grain storage is enough for us to cope with many situations.

In addition, I have some ideas about the farming methods and grain tax collection in Nanli County and Woye County. I will discuss it with you some time later. "

"The subordinate understands!"

Li Yi did not continue to ask Zhao Jun to make a decision now. He also knew that this matter was so important that it could not be decided easily and needed to be carefully considered.

After all, there will be no trivial matter involving the army.

Putting aside the matter of military restrictions for now, Li Yi continued to report on this season's tax situation.

"My lord, in addition to the three annual grain tax collections, this year's annual commercial miscellaneous tax collection has also come to an end.

In terms of the collection of commercial and miscellaneous taxes, the performance of Nanli County and the newly acquired Woye County is far inferior to that of my Yunzhou County. The combined commercial and miscellaneous taxes of the two counties do not exceed one million taels. The reason for entering the tax exemption in the customs, the tax revenue of this industry has risen sharply, and it has tripled from the previous 100 million taels per year!
It has reached a new high of 300 million taels, plus the major tax industries such as Yanbu, tea, coal and construction industries, as well as the taxes of other industries in various markets, etc., this year Yunzhou County’s tax bank totals 300 million, 730 taels !

Among them, iron, salt, tea, cloth, coal, construction and other industries accounted for [-]% of the total tax revenue!
The rest of the industry accounted for a total of [-]%.

Compared with last year's 800 million taels, the business tax has increased by nearly 500 million taels, setting a new high over the years! "

"It has risen so much?"

Zhao Jun was surprised to hear that the business tax had increased by nearly 500 million taels of silver compared with last year.

Although he knows that as Yunzhou County receives a large number of refugees to bear the burden, after digesting these refugees, the economy of the entire Yunzhou County and its affiliated forces will usher in a demographic dividend period for a period of time.

The economy of the entire Yunzhou County will also rise as the originally insufficient population is filled.

But he didn't expect that less than half a year had passed, and he had paid nearly 500 million taels more than last year!

You know, even the current annual tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is only worth [-] million silver!

This is the sum of various taxes, including the bulk of the food tax.

And the annual business tax of Yunzhou County in my own district has reached more than 4000 million taels, close to 5000 million taels, which is as much as a quarter of the imperial court!
This is still compared with the Song Dynasty. If it is compared with some small countries in the Western Regions, the tax revenue of Yunzhou County is comparable to that of a country for ten years.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jun asked solemnly: "Excluding the operation and various needs of Yunzhou County, how much can we save?"

Li Yi quickly calculated in his mind, compared with last year's consumption before estimating:
"In the whole year of this year, Yunzhou County first recruited nearly 100 million refugees in the customs on a large scale. In order to resettle these refugees, Yunzhou County spent a total of 2000 million taels of silver in total.

Coupled with the expansion of the army by nearly 500, it is expected that future military expenditures will increase from the current 1000 million taels to [-] million taels a year.

This year is still the first year, and nearly 1000 million taels have been spent on training and equipment purchases for the new army alone.

In terms of military expenditure alone, the total expenditure this year has reached nearly 2000 million taels.

In addition, to maintain the normal operation of Yunzhou County, and prepare the reserve bank for the year to deal with unexpected situations.

Throughout this year, Yunzhou County needs to spend a total of 5000 million taels of silver!

After the final settlement, although Yunzhou County has a lot of commercial taxes this year, it is still insufficient, and it is still nearly 600 million taels of silver.

This year's fiscal revenue and expenditure is a deficit, and it needs to use the reserve bank from previous years to be sufficient! "

"hiss!"

After coming to this result, not only Zhao Jun, but also Jun Cheng Jiang He and Jun Wei Zhu Tuo, who had been listening behind Li Yi, couldn't help but gasp together with Zhao Jun.

Who would have thought that the annual expenditure of a Yunzhou county could reach 5000 million taels, which is as much as a quarter of the annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty!

Yunzhou County's tax, which has set a record high in the past years, is not enough. Instead, it still owes 600 million taels, which needs to use the reserve silver from previous years to make it enough!

Zhao Jun rubbed his forehead with a headache. Originally, he thought that with a tax of more than 4000 million taels a year, Yunzhou County would be considered rich.

But when the results are calculated, it is not enough!

In an instant, he changed from a rich man to a negative man!
Really complied with the phrase that things are impermanent!
When Zhao Jun was having a headache, Li Yi said comfortingly: "

Don't worry, the prince, this year is because of the expenditure on the refugees and the army. This is why there is such a high expenditure. It will not be so much next year. Not to mention, as long as Yunzhou County does not continue to recruit refugees, the resettlement of refugees The 2000 million taels of silver can be left over.

As for the army, now that the new army has taken shape, all kinds of armaments have been added, and the military expenditure only needs to be 1000 million taels a year.

Once these two items are saved, it will be 3000 million taels, and next year's expenditure can be controlled at around 2000 million taels, of which military expenditure will account for the bulk.

Judging from the current trend of Yunzhou County, next year's business tax will usher in an increase. It is estimated that by next year we will have a balance of nearly 3000 million taels of silver. "

Hearing this, Zhao Jun and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, there are too many big things to do this year, and it is only natural to consume a lot.

Just wait until next year, and there will be a surplus next year.

Zhao Jun also can only temporarily suppress the thought that just popped up in his heart, this year it will not work.

We can only wait until next year, after all, once this matter starts, it will inevitably consume a lot of silver.

It can only be postponed temporarily.

This is Zhao Jun's beautiful vision for next year.

Everyone thinks so too.

……

After tidying up his confused thoughts, Zhao Jun made a conclusion: "That is to say, we have saved a large amount of food this year. Not only do we have no surplus in terms of silver, but we need to post some to be enough?"

Li Yi nodded and then shook his head: "My lord, we have too much food, and we can't store it all now, so there must be a large part of it that needs to be sold.

According to the current grain price, even if the price of grain is lowered due to the large amount of our grain entering the market, we can expect to reap nearly 1000 million taels of silver at least if we sell 800 million dans of grain.

In this way, not only can we clear up part of the food storage problem, but we can also fill up this year's fiscal deficit and have a surplus of nearly 1000 two million taels. "

"Is there a balance of nearly 1000 two million taels?"

Li Yi nodded: "It just happens to be used to build [-] granaries in various counties. This year's income and expenditure should be able to balance."

As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At first they hoped to have a lot of savings, but before they knew it, they suddenly felt that being able to make ends meet was a good thing!
