Chapter 1230: Spending Money on the Way Home
Yao Chong believed that 10 million strings of cash were used to pay officials’ salaries, but he didn’t believe that 10 million strings of cash were used to build railways and ships.
The railways were not even in sight, so why did they have to take out 10 million strings of cash first?
There will be new fiscal revenue next year, and there will be ships. How much will it cost to buy steam engines, oars, sails, and ships themselves?
The front line is only 150 days. After 150 days, the grass will be green, and horses and livestock will be easy to raise.
Bi Gou didn’t answer, but looked at Li Yi.
“Next year, we will start building rails, from Chang’an to Luoyang, and then to Haizhou.
In the future, things shipped back from other places will go directly to the ports there and be transported back by rail.
Of course, Luoyang can build a warehouse to store some things, and check the goods once a month.”
Li Yi didn’t say how much money it would cost, of course it wouldn’t cost 10 million strings of cash, and it wouldn’t cost even if the trains were counted, unless there were a lot of trains.
“Does it need 10 million strings of cash?” Yao Chong still didn’t believe it.
“According to the material and manufacturing costs, of course it’s a little less, but isn’t the technical cost a cost?” Li Yi pointed at himself.
"Where does the technical cost come from? Don't you know what position you are in now?" Yao Chong wanted to throw the jar, but stopped, reluctant to do so.
He was angry. If others said that they would sell good technology to the court, the court should give money.
Why should Li Yi give? Others could not enjoy power. Li Yi said whoever he wanted to hit would be hit, and if he said he could not hit, he would not hit.
He said that the city gate was not closed, but now the city gate is still open day and night. It is estimated that the shaft is about to break.
"I mean, if I made a mistake during the research process, it is also a cost!" Li Yi hid behind.
At the same time, there was a little grievance. Is it easy to make a steam engine by yourself?
How much resources and time have been spent on research from generation to generation to the current level?
And the sea charts drawn by yourself, the navigation equipment manufactured, and the maritime safety guarantees provided, how much is the value of that sea chart?
"Xiao Yi, you can't make money in this regard. If you don't make money from technology, what's the use of money?"
Lu Huaishen spoke for Yao Chong, and after speaking, he observed Li Yi's expression and worried about his family.
What if Li Yi gets angry and doesn't give him dividends, what will his family eat and drink?
"I'm addicted to making money. Even if I donate all the money I make, I'll give it to the people of the Tang Dynasty." Li Yi muttered.
Now he asks the court for money, which is really useless. He has nowhere to spend it, so he will give it to the people of the Tang Dynasty in the end.
Liu Youqiu tried to smooth things over: "Make money first. But building railways and trains? It won't cost 10 million strings of cash, right?"
"Yes! You want to use the money?" Bi Gou spoke at this time.
"We just want to know." Li Rizhi took over.
Yin Sizhen nodded? Without saying a word, he expressed his meaning, wanting to know how much money the court had.
There is a lot of fiscal surplus, even if he doesn't spend it, he will still be happy and confident.
The people in the group now only hope that the Tang Dynasty will become stronger? While they are still alive? See the Tang Dynasty sweeping across the world.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Li Yi told the truth: "There will be a lot of money this year. After deducting all other things, there will still be 15 million strings."
Everyone's eyes lit up. The surplus money was twice the total fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty five years ago.
"But this year, at least 13 million strings must be spent. Give the budget and leave 2 million strings for emergency." Li Yi said.
A circle of people looked at Li Yi silently and waited.
As expected, Li Yi explained, "Money must flow. When the court has too much fiscal surplus, it means that everyone is derelict in their duties.
No budget has been made, and no thought has been given to how to use fiscal revenue to serve the people.
Even if the money for building railways is not reserved in advance, I will spend the money.
For example, the states around Dongting Lake must build roads to Chang'an and Luzhou, and good roads.
The climate and hydrological environment there are suitable for aquaculture, and I want to raise pigs.
Build another railway along the canal, extending from the railway in Henan Prefecture to Suzhou.
Then the things raised around Dongting Lake will go down the Yangtze River, and will be sent to other places via railways and canals in Suzhou..."
Li Yi began to explain. He knew what everyone wanted to hear, to listen to the plan.
A plan that can be actually implemented, not a pie-in-the-sky plan.
The land route from Chang'an to Hubei is opened, but the things raised and planted are transported by water along the Yangtze River.
This will drive the economic development of the entire Jiangnan region and meet the daily needs of the people.
He told everyone that there will also be arrangements for next year's income, which will be given to Shu.
Shu is mountainous, but Chengdu is a plain, and it costs a lot to build roads, but they still have to be built.
A good road is good for governance and local stability.
The faster the army arrives at a place, the safer the locals feel.
"It is enough to leave two million strings of cash for the annual fiscal revenue. At most, I can provide temporary support.
Mr. Yao also said that I have no use for money. I don't need to use money to reflect my status.
You have time to think about how to spend money. Generally, it is used for infrastructure, including water power."
Li Yi said again, and then he left, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
This is the first time they have heard of this theory. The court has too much money, it is not good, it must be spent.
It feels that anyone who can't spend money is a crime and will be beheaded.
"What kind of reason is this? It sounds very reasonable." Yin Sizhen, who has served many ministers, was confused by Li Yi.
Li Yi has not yet told them about the knowledge of gross national product, gross domestic product, consumer price index, purchasing managers index, industrial production index, etc.
Now it does not involve the financial industry, otherwise there will be more problems.
It includes the tertiary industry of tourism, as well as local industrial and handicraft projects with deep processing.
"Let's continue reading the book when we go back. Xiao Yi has written some things in the book, but it is hard to understand."
Bi Gou had a headache when he talked about this matter. He had difficulty understanding it just by reading the book without any actual operation.
Li Yi took out the other data from the laboratory and took a look. There was no problem.
He found Chang Sunxin: "When you go back, you can get off the boat and do what is written. You need to exercise more. Your belly is getting fatter."
"I always go to the workshop." Chang Sunxin was relieved and tried to hold his stomach. UU Reading wwwww.uｕkanshu.net
"You find a piece of land, water the soldiers, and then I will sell you ice skates and teach you how to make an ice sled. You can skate by yourself and exercise.
At the same time, you can rent it out, such as a sled for one penny and ice skates for two pennies.
Make money by selling hot food, just like in my village before, hot pot."
Li Yi saw that Chang Sunxin had changed and was willing to let him make more money.
"Li Yi, why are you so nice to me?" Chang Sunxin asked softly.
"Why are your words so disgusting?" Li Yi got goose bumps and quickly left.
"What did I say wrong?" Chang Sunxin was puzzled.
"He said you are gay." His concubine blinked and reminded.
"Don't say it, I'm disgusted too." Chang Sunxin also got goose bumps.
