    "Tianjin alone received more than three million taels of tax silver in one month~"

    "Calculating the entire Ming Dynasty, it's not too much to collect 7 to 8 million taels of silver this month. If we calculate this, wouldn't we be able to receive 7 to 80 million taels of silver in taxes a year?"

    Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did some rough calculations with his fingers, and was immediately shocked by the numbers he calculated.

    This year, the tax collection amounted to 70 to 80 million taels of silver. What is the concept of this?

    You must know that the Ming Dynasty¡¯s treasury now only pays less than 6 million taels of silver in taxes a year. This is because capitalism has sprouted in recent years. Changlu Saltworks alone has to pay 2 million taels of silver in taxes a year.

    ¡°If this tax money can be collected to 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver at once, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s treasury will not be able to hold it.

    "Tax tax of 70 to 80 million taels of silver?"

    When everyone heard this, they all couldn¡¯t help but slightly widen their eyes.

    ¡°This is not a matter of not knowing, it¡¯s a surprise.

    ¡°It would be really incredible if the imperial court could really receive 70 to 80 million taels of tax money a year.

    By then, I will probably have to worry about how to spend this money.

    "Seventy or eighty million taels of tax silver?"

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly when he heard this.

    Although he is very rich now, if the court can receive 70 to 80 million taels of silver a year, many things that he wanted to do but couldn't do in the past will suddenly become easy.

    Money is a good thing.

    Even he, the emperor, has to admit that money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.

    "Your Majesty, gentlemen, judging from my estimate, it should not be difficult for the total tax amount to reach 70 million taels this year."

    Liu Jin stood up and replied with a smile.

    Just for Tianjin, it will cost more than 30 million taels of silver this year. Ming Dynasty is very big and has many overseas territories. The fleet that went to Golden Continent last year will also come back. By then, we will definitely receive a lot of money.  A large amount of tax money, after calculation, the small goal of 70 million taels is very easy.

    "Seventy million taels of tax silver a year~"

    "It seems that we really didn't receive any tax before~"

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn¡¯t help but smile and shook his head after hearing this.

    In the past, every time a commercial tax was levied, it would be opposed by both the government and the public. The income of the imperial court was really pitiful. In the Ming Dynasty, the annual tax revenue was less than three million taels of silver. No one would believe it if I told you.  .

    Now that Liu Jin is reused, the results will be immediate, and a huge gap will be seen at once.

    If he could receive so much tax money in the past year, Emperor Hongzhi would have finished many things long ago.

    "Okay, it's good to have money, it's easy to do things if you have money~"

    ¡°Then Emperor Hongzhi sighed, thought for a while and said, ¡°This year we can receive 70 to 80 million taels of tax silver. Let¡¯s talk about it, how should we spend this money?¡±

    "Silver is kept in the treasury. It is like an iron lump and is of no use. When it is spent, it is money."

    Hearing Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words, Xie Qian suddenly felt sad.

    "Obviously, the memorial he just submitted was in vain. To receive so much tax money in a year, not only Emperor Hongzhi, but also all the ministers in the court would shut up immediately.

    There is no doubt that the imperial court needs money.

    Everything you do requires money.

    As for the others, they were all slightly stunned. It seemed that such a luxurious life had never happened before.

    ??This year, 70 to 80 million taels of tax money will be collected. How will this money be spent?

    This problem also stumped everyone all of a sudden.

    In the past, I lived my life in a fussy way, wishing I could move one penny into two pennies to spend.

    It¡¯s fine now. The revenue of the state treasury has increased sharply. This year there are tens of millions of taels of silver. It seems that you are here to spend it, but everyone doesn¡¯t know how to spend it?

    "Your Majesty, I think we can continue to repair the Great Wall to prevent foreign enemies~"

    Someone thought for a while and suggested.

    Building the Great Wall was almost a compulsory task for all emperors of the Ming Dynasty. As long as conditions allowed, they would build it, mainly to defend against the attacks of the northern grassland people.

    It¡¯s just that now that the northern grasslands have been conquered by the Ming Dynasty and included in the Ming Dynasty¡¯s territory, is it too redundant to continue to build the Great Wall now?

    "Your Majesty, I think we can expand the size of Tailing~"?, Who doesn¡¯t like a salary increase?  Everyone likes it, and no one dislikes a salary increase.

    As for Emperor Hongzhi, he smiled. If you collect taxes and money this year and give officials salary increases, that's okay. With more money, you can't be too stingy as a boss, right?

    "Whether it is government expenditure or royal expenditure, it is difficult to reflect that this tax is taken from the people and used for the people~"

    "What really reflects this is public expenditure~"

    "The so-called public expenditure includes building city walls, roads and bridges, as well as building river dams, reservoirs, etc. Only these can the common people feel that the taxes they pay are used for them.  on the body."

    "Similarly, these expenditures can also promote the greater prosperity of our Ming Dynasty."

    "For example, now that our court has money, we can build large-scale cement roads throughout the Ming Dynasty to facilitate transportation in various places. Once the roads are repaired, everything will be easier and simpler."

    "For another example, we can open a number of public schools across the country. The court will fund the construction of the schools, hire teachers, uniformly print textbooks, uniformly teach content, and charge a nominal fee, so that more people can  people have the opportunity to go to school.¡± (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
