open sea

Chapter 1095 Revenue
Before Xu Lu'an's microscope was manufactured, Chen Mu received an urgent letter of procedure.

The letter states that this year's merchant fleet has sailed from Daming through the Heishui Mohe Islands, and the three counties of Majiagang, Jincheng, and Jie, which are skilled in receiving ships, are doing their best to accommodate them. At the same time, all counties are starting to trade with merchant ships. .

Chang Sheng not only wanted to welcome them, but also sent a letter from Daxi Port. Yang Ce, who had been fighting in France for half a year, led his troops to divide into two groups from the sea, and one of them followed Ailan King Zhu Xiaoen and sailed north to Ireland , Another team sailed from the sea to Daxi Port, and applied to enter Changsheng.

"Fuck!"

Chen Mu threw the letter on the table in the study of the military government office. His complaint was obviously not aimed at Yang Ce who was leading his loyal subordinates on the official road, but because he found that after reading the letter sent from China and Majiagang After receiving the information, he will disappoint the civil and military officers waiting in the house.

Most of the people in the room came from the Imperial Clan University, art teacher Xu Wei, large juicer installation foreman Zhao Shizhen, installation instructor Zou Yuanbiao, and of course a warrior Juniper and chief officer Fu Yuan.

They were all waiting for the follow-up news of the Great Ming Beizheng, all of them stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't want to miss every tiny change of expression on Chen Mu's face.

Seeing Chen Mu throwing a letter and swearing, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Juniper and Fu Yuan looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "Marshal, did you lose?"

"Losing fart."

Chen Mu said angrily: "Are you looking forward to losing so much? No, the imperial court didn't send a letter to Dadongyang, and the people on board don't know as much as we do!"

This is the root cause of Chen Mu's fucking. This year, the imperial court did not send Beiyang recruits, nor did they send letters to Dadongyang. Those who came were merchants and ordinary people who wanted to go to the New World to make a living.

As he said that, Chen Mu raised his hand and shook the letter on the table, and said angrily: "No, Ma Shuai's letter said that the merchant told him that the emperor's army was raised and the Beiyang Second Guards were stationed in Xuanda as if they knew some big secret. Qi Shuai is ready to go out... When did this happen?"

Before Chen Mu came back from Muye, the imperial court sent two letters one after another, sending them to him by land from the north.

The latest news is that Qi Jiguang has sent the Fourth Battalion northward.

Juniper is the one who pays the most attention to the intelligence on the northern battlefield. He is originally from the north. He has hated for so many years on the northern border. Mu Hua's eyes widened, and he said, "It's been a few months since we co-authored, and the imperial court finally got tough and retracted?"

"No, I guess the war has already started in the north, but the imperial court can't take care to inform us about the military situation, the report, or the report." Chen Mu said, paused and said: "It's just that the situation of the war is not bad."

From Chen Mu's point of view, with the emperor's disposition to never give up if he can't accomplish anything, Zhang Juzheng's control over the court, and the current financial situation of the court, once the battle in the north is not well fought, the southern guards will definitely not be the first to be mobilized. , nor will it be the Nanyang military mansion that brings the most income to the court.

As long as the Nanyang Military Mansion is operating normally, its own Beijing-transported silver, grain, grass, and goods, and the transfer of silver, grain, grass, and goods from the Western Army Mansion can fight big battles without hurting the bones. The Oriental military government with the least direct income must be the best candidate to send troops.

But relatively, the situation is not bad to a certain extent, and the troops of the East and West Second Army will never be easily mobilized.

This situation made Chen Mu raised his hand and knocked on his forehead a little annoyed, and spread his hands to everyone: "If the imperial court does not send letters, our Dongyang military government will do our own work. What can the counties bring back for the imperial court this year? Have you figured it out?"

"Commander, I am in Changsheng County this year..." Zou Yuanbiao was about to answer first, when he was stopped by Zhao Shizhen at the beginning: "Commander, the shipments from all counties have been shipped to the military garrison one after another."

Zhao Shizhen and Zou Yuanbiao looked at each other, and then said: "This year's annual income is still the crown of Jincheng, transporting 12 jin of gold, 12 jin of copper, 5000 jin of iron, [-] yuan of wood, and tanning in Majiagangjie County. There are [-] skins of various colors, and there are more than [-] boxes of various medicinal materials; compared with last year, the skins are the same, while the gold, wood, copper and iron have increased by [-]%."

"Yes, Not Bad."

This year's income from the three counties in the North made Chen Mu very happy. This shows that his business operations in North Asia for several years have begun to bear fruit, showing a trend of increasing year by year. It is the most intuitive embodiment of ministers carrying out their missions.

"Youjing Panama's business tax, road tax, and plantation tax totaled 600 taels. Similarly, the county spent a total of 6000 taels of equivalent Tongbao on military expenditures, road repairs, and farmland farming. It also supported Lautaro's army and spent one Thousands of 400 taels will be allocated by the military government. In addition, there will be funds for the construction of the canal. It is initially planned that 3000 million Tongbao will be required per year. The location for the construction of Chaotian Palace will also be initially determined, and it will also invest 200 million yuan per year. Tongbao."

Zhao Shizhen paused and said, "The combined deficit is 5 taels."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, it was nothing, he knocked on the table and said, "Continue."

It is not surprising that Youjing’s fiscal deficit is not surprising. Except for the first year after the war, the Spaniards gained a lot, and the geographically best business route in the middle of Asia was almost completely abandoned due to the war.

The Spaniards had no chance to use it, nor did the Ming people. It was not until the end of last year that many merchants were transformed into joint-stock companies in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, which revived the road, but it was not suitable for transporting large quantities of goods... crude The road environment caused merchants to lose some donkeys and goods every time they transported bulk goods, and the rare goods in Dadongyang were sold at extremely high prices.

The businessman would rather spend an extra month and a half to transport from the Changsheng official road to the Gulf of Mexico than bear the transportation cost of the lost goods.

Although Deng Zilong is repairing, infrastructure construction does not pay off immediately, and business roads are not repaired today, and merchants will come tomorrow.

It is difficult to increase the income, but the expenses are increasing. Regardless of the construction of the Chaotian Palace or the Panama Canal, Ukyo's fiscal deficit is inevitable and will continue for many years.

"Chile, where the former Governor's Mansion was stationed, is much better. The Westerners left five cities there to be taken over by Ming Dynasty. Shao Shuai is also good at educating the original tribes. The main income of the local people is the island of Lautaro off the coast of Arauco and the coastal reefs. Struvite and the saltpeter mines in the desert. The struvite was purchased by the imperial court, and a hundred catties cost one thousand Tongbao; the saltpeter mines are directly under the imperial court. There are four mines, and another three are under construction. The annual labor cost is 690 Wantongbao."

"This year, 130 million catties of struvite and 70 catties of saltpeter will arrive in Changsheng."

"As for Chang Sheng..." Zhao Shizhen didn't mention Zou Tuzi himself, and everyone present saw Zou Tuzi's eagerness to try, after asking Chen Mu for instructions, Zhao Shizhen said with a smile: "Let Zhixian Zou speak for himself. "

"Cough cough!"

Zou Yuanbiao cleared his throat, with a huge smile and a sense of accomplishment on his face, he raised his hand and swept it in front of him, then cupped his hands and said, "Marshal, Chang Sheng has nothing else, the Tongbao they paid are all from What we got here... This year Changsheng's import tax is 3000 million, land tax is 3000 million, and commercial tax is 97 million. The western minted silver is equal to the income. In addition to the silver reserve, there is still [-] taels of silver returned to the court. .”

The bald man is so good, it's almost akimbo.

　Good morning!
