Chapter 1097 Finance
"In addition to the explosive growth of food production, other aspects, such as culture and education, textiles, printing and dyeing, and other traditionally weak industries of our military have also been significantly enhanced, and have basically reached or surpassed the average level of the Han Dynasty.
The original strong industries such as animal husbandry, smelting, and elixir are even better, showing a thriving state in the entire Han territory. The brewing industry came from behind, and its economic scale and economic benefits surpassed the animal husbandry industry, becoming the second largest industry after elixir.
In terms of culture and education, due to the leading role of Dr. Cai (Cai Yong, Ph. Already, there are six grand masters, twenty-two great Confucian scholars, and more than three hundred great Confucian scholars who have settled in Pingzhou to give lectures. A total of four top-level academies have been established, which can stably train more than 3,000 first-class and above literati every year.
While supporting our increasingly large and perfect political system, we still have spare power to divert to Yanhuang Temple and Sirius God Altar, and provide more than 300 qualified priests (Taoists) every year.
In addition, our Pingzhou also opened the first higher women's college in the Han Dynasty, which trained a large number of high-quality women, especially provided a large number of qualified soldiers for the Star of Light Women's Army, further enhancing the combat effectiveness of our army. "
The establishment of a women's college was passed under the strong suggestion of Zhen Mi, Wang Yi, Penthesilea, Zhao Yu, Cassandra, Medusa and other female generals, which caused quite a stir at the time , many conservatives firmly oppose it.
In the end, the trouble came in front of Shang Ji, who was still accompanying Liu's childcare at that time, and deliberately set aside an afternoon to listen to the opinions of both parties.
It was just to listen to opinions, but as soon as the two sides played, the conservatives knew that there was no way to stop the establishment of a women's college—the Liu family also appeared, and stood among Cassandra and the others.
What is there to argue about? Under the depressed eyes of the conservatives, Cassandra and the others won the debate with an absolute advantage.
But later I found out that the women's college seems to be really messed up!
At least the quality and quantity of Cassandra's Star Girls of Light have been significantly strengthened. Now, in the 27th Battle Legion of the Shangji Army, each battle legion has at least one Star Girl of Light , greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the combat legion.
This change also caused the military to quickly change from watching the excitement at the beginning to generally supporting women's colleges. With the support of the military, the opposition of conservatives is even less worth mentioning.
Although the healing effect of the Star Girl of Light is not as good as that of a full-time healing priest or priest, her status is quite high compared with ordinary soldiers. A most ordinary star girl of light,
The status and treatment in the combat legion are not inferior to the centurion. In terms of respect, the Star Girl of Light surpasses the centurion by a large margin.
In terms of place, any family that produces a Star Girl of Light will be the object of envy from all over the world.
The naked reality also caused a 180-degree turn in the folk atmosphere, from the original resistance and exclusion to the scrambling to send their own daughters to women's colleges.
This has further promoted the liberation of women, and there are more and more women in all walks of life.
Of course, the most fundamental reason for this situation is the shortage of manpower under the rule of the Shangji Army. While vigorously introducing immigrants, the Government Administration Council system headed by Deng Yan also tried every means to encourage and support women to go out of the house to work and alleviate the situation. In the embarrassing situation of sparsely populated and insufficient labor force, the Star Girl of Light only played a catalytic role.
"Here is a data report of all walks of life under the current rule of our army. Because there are too many contents, I will not read them out to everyone. Interested colleagues can refer to them by themselves."
While Deng Yan was speaking, several petty officials were holding a thick stack of documents and handing them out to everyone.
"Next, I will focus on the current financial situation of our military."
First of all, I would like to inform everyone of a piece of good news. According to the estimates of the Government Administration Council, our army's taxes this year are expected to exceed 2.2 billion gold. However, three years ago, the annual income was only 540 million gold. In three years, the annual income has more than quadrupled. "
Hearing Deng Yan's introduction of Pingzhou's tax situation, Shang Ji also smiled.
In the past three years, Shang Ji has been throwing money wildly, spending more than seven billion gold back and forth. With the fiscal revenue of the three places, even if he tried his best, he still couldn't get 5 billion gold, and most of the investment came from Shang Ji's harvest from the national war in the mainland.
It is precisely because of this that almost all the gold coins harvested by Guozhan Continent have been consumed.
The large-scale inflow of gold coins led to inflation in the whole of China, which is equivalent to searching the wealth of the whole world to develop the three places of Pingchen. It is also like this that the miracle of taxation quadrupling in three years will appear.
In addition, Deng Yan didn't say one more thing. The income of the Shang Jijun is divided into two parts. One part is tax revenue, including agricultural tax, commercial tax, poll tax and other normal taxes, but in addition to this, there is a huge special Huge special franchise income.
Take the drink mentioned earlier as an example.
Even if it is the most common, a jar (three catties) of wine for ordinary people would cost about fifty coppers. Expensive drinks are out of the question, with authentic Baicaoyuan lingmi as the main ingredient, combined with a variety of precious accessories, [Beauty Drunk] refined by a master winemaker, the price of a jar (a small jar of a catty) is Breaking through the thousand gold, the real thousand gold wine, even the princes who dominate one side will feel distressed when drinking it.
As we all know, the profit of alcohol is extremely high, especially high-end wine. The net profit of ordinary drinks is more than double, and the profit of top-quality wine can even reach ten times or a hundred times. This is a monopoly, and there is no law of market value at all!
With such a huge profit, it is naturally impossible for Shang Ji to let DC go.
In the Shangji jurisdiction, all alcoholic beverages are monopolized, and bootlegging is a felony!
The wine trade alone brought a net income of 460 million gold to the merchants last year, and this year it has broken through 500 million gold.
And as I said just now, wine is only the second largest industry under Shang Ji's rule, and the largest industry is elixir!
Drinking without wine is at best a bit uncomfortable, but without the various elixirs produced in Pingzhou, it would be deadly, and the profit margin of elixirs is even higher than that of alcohol.
Like wine, elixir is also a monopoly, and the annual profit of elixir does not depend on the market environment, but on how much elixir the merchant intends to release-this thing is always in short supply, and it can be consumed as much as it is produced.
And last year, the elixir trade brought a total profit of 800 million gold to the merchants!
In addition to the bulk grain trade (the main purpose of the franchise in this area is to maintain the stability of grain prices, the profit is not very high), horses, weapons and armor, large equipment, talismans and other franchised monopoly industries, last year provided merchants with a total of ten 900 million net income!
In other words, Shang Ji's annual disposable financial income exceeds four billion gold!
