Long live the ancestral dragon of all worlds

Chapter 130 King Qin's Ambition and Great Plan [Third update, please subscribe]

Ying Zheng said: "Shi Yuan, what is the revenue of the Qin treasury this year?"

"Your Majesty, the total income of the Great Qin State Treasury this year is between 1 million taels and 800 million taels of silver!" Pang Tong said.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "In the past, the treasury had 9500 million taels of silver revenue. Why did it increase so little this year?"

He remembered that in the past three years, the income of the Daqin treasury increased at a rate of more than 2500 million taels of silver every year.

But this year, if the treasury has only 1 million taels of silver income, it will only increase by 1 million taels.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Wei, Han, Qi and Chu, the powerful countries in the east, are now in war, and business activities are hindered. All aspects of the self-operated business of the Great Qin Royal Court are also affected, and foreign business taxes are also affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, the growth rate of Daqin's treasury revenue will be slower than in previous years.

This year's treasury can increase silver income by 1300 million to 1500 million taels, thanks to the increase in Daqin's domestic land tax and the increase in domestic business income. Pang Tong explained the reasons for the slowdown in the growth of the treasury.

Ying Zheng heard the words and knew that what the other party said was true.

The five great powers of Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, and Chu other than Qin State fell into war, and the business of the Great Qin Royal Court will definitely be affected, and at the same time, it will also cause a reduction in foreign business taxes.

The fact that Qin State was able to increase its income by 1300-1500 million taels of silver still benefited from Qin State.

To be precise, it is thanks to Yingzheng's drastic reform and governance over the years:
Construct a series of large-scale water conservancy projects, so that the people of Qin State have enough food and clothing, and their income increases;

The vigorous improvement of Daqin's business environment has created the prosperity of domestic business.

Ying Zheng said: "Then how much is Daqin's military expenditure and other expenditures this year, and how much is left in the treasury?"

He has to live within his means.

Without even thinking about it, Pang Tong said:
"Your Majesty, due to the addition of the Arms Bureau, the Shenji Battalion and the launch of several wars, this year's military expenditure of the Great Qin Dynasty will increase to about 8000 million taels.

In terms of education, the construction and repair of infrastructure such as official roads and post stations,
Construction and maintenance of water conservancy projects, support for poor people, maintenance of various other facilities, etc.

The total reached about 2500 million taels, an increase of 250 million taels over the previous year.

In this way, this year's treasury revenue is calculated at 1 million taels, and the balance is only 1 million taels of silver. "

Ying Zheng glanced at Pang Tong and knew that Prime Minister Zuo was very competent.

All the accounts are clearly contained in Pang Tong's mind.

Originally, the annual military expenditure was 5750 million taels, but now it has increased by 2250 million taels to reach 8000 million taels, which is really a huge expense.

The treasury only has a balance of 500 million taels of silver this year, which is really embarrassing!

If you want to expand the army, with this amount of money, it is simply a drop in the bucket!
Ying Zheng continued: "Including the surplus of previous years, how much silver will the treasury have left this year?"

"Your Majesty, the treasury had a surplus of 4000 million taels in the past few years, plus this year's 500 million taels, the total is about 4500 million taels." Pang Tong said.

Ying Zheng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Young Master Xuan will see you!"

"Promise!" Lang Zhongling immediately sent someone to deliver the edict.

Soon, Shaofu Ling, the chief official in charge of managing the private property of King Qin and taking care of King Qin's daily life, came to the Qilin Hall and saluted King Qin respectfully.

Ying Zheng cut to the chase and said, "How much silver is left in the widow's treasury?"

"Your Majesty, you still have 900 million taels of silver!" the Shaofu ordered.

Qin Wang said: "Allow 500 million taels to the treasury immediately!"

The silver in his internal treasury is basically the filial piety of Dongfang Bubai.

"Promise!" The Shaofu Ling didn't dare to say another word.

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu and said, "Taiwei listens to the order!"

"The old minister is here!" Meng Kun bowed his hands and bowed.

The King of Qin said solemnly: "I will allocate 2800 million taels of military expenses for you, and within six months, I will expand 40 heavy infantry for the widow, and train them to form combat effectiveness!"

In this way, Daqin has millions of lions!

10 heavy cavalry, 80 heavy infantry, and 10 light infantry, totaling 100 million.

Not counting the special settings and arms of the Black Ice Terrace, Jinyiwei, and Shenji Battalion.

Daqin is the well-deserved No. [-] superpower in the East.

"promise!!!"

Meng Qu heard His Majesty's order, his old face was full of excitement, he couldn't help his blood boiling, and said loudly.

His voice formed an echo in the Qilin Hall.

Daqin has a million armors, this was something that Meng Yu would not have dared to think about in his dreams before.

For an army of this size, even if it does not fight a year, the military expenditure alone is close to hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

Looking at the entire East, only Daqin can afford it.

Only Qin Wangzheng has the courage to form such a large-scale army with such complete arms.

Meng Yu knew that His Majesty's ambition was to unify the East and establish an unprecedented Great Qin Empire.

It is a great honor and excitement to be able to follow such an unrivaled king!
After finishing speaking, Meng Duck strode out of the Qilin Hall with high spirited strides, his back straightened like a thousand-year-old pine.

In the Qilin Hall, only Pang Tong and King Qin remained.

Ying Zheng looked at the other party and said, "Shi Yuan, next thing you need to find a way to increase the income of the Daqin treasury!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to increase the revenue of the treasury!" Pang Tong said with a serious expression on his face.

He knew that His Majesty was someone who wanted to do great things, that he wanted to unify the great monarchs of the East, and that a huge amount of silver was needed to support His Majesty's great cause.

Pang Tong, as the chief assistant of the cabinet with one person under one person and over ten thousand people, naturally wants to do his best to share the worries of His Majesty.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Okay, Shi Yuan, step back!"

"No!" Pang Tongtong cupped his hands and exited the Qilin Hall.

Ying Zheng stood up, with his hands behind his back, walking in the hall, thinking.

Although he had already handed over the task of increasing the treasury's income to the left prime minister, he didn't mean to be a hand-off shopkeeper, and he still wanted to help Pang Shiyuan more.

After thinking about it, Yingzheng felt that the most important way for Daqin to increase its income would be to focus on commercial taxation and commerce in the future.

And this aspect of talent, he is the most lacking.

Although Pang Tong, Sima Yi, and Li Si are all rare heroes, their strengths lie in governance, law, and military affairs, not business and economics.

When employing people, use their strengths.

This is Yingzheng's consistent philosophy.

It's just that there are no outstanding talents in business, so Sima Yi and Pang Tong can only be in charge of business matters such as Daqin Bank.

"It would be great if we could recruit a business genius next time!" Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

In Yingzheng's mind, there is a long list of names of Chinese business geniuses:
Tao Zhugong Fan Li, Mrs. Ba Baqing, Sanxiu Shen Wansan, red-capped businessman Hu Xueyan and so on.

These people are all business geniuses. If Ying Zheng gets one, the business territory of the Great Qin royal family will expand rapidly and their income will increase dramatically.

"Chen, Qi Yuanjing begs to see His Majesty!"

At this moment, a young man's voice full of vigor suddenly came from outside the Qilin Hall.

When Ying Zheng heard the sound, joy appeared on his face, and he walked quickly to the outside of the Qilin Hall.

He knew that this was Qi Jiguang, the best candidate for the Shenji camp owner, to report for duty!
