Ying Chang also knew what the ministers were thinking, so he didn't say much, and turned his eyes to Zhang Feizi, with a blank expression on his face, and ordered without anger and threateningly: "Leave this matter to Zhang Aiqing. If it is done well, I will have a lot of rewards. If it is not done well, it doesn't matter. I don't force it. I just hope that Zhang Aiqing can understand one thing: the matter is done by man, and man will conquer nature!"

Seeing that Ying Chang handed over this matter to him, Zhang Feizi bent down helplessly and replied: "I obey the order!"

Just leave it to yourself. Anyway, it’s okay to do it. There will be no ministers who use this matter to find fault. After all, this is something that cannot be accomplished at all. However, although it is something that cannot be accomplished, he has to do it after he goes to court. As for what to do, it is very simple. Pull a group of farming masters together to see if there is any possibility and hope for this matter. If not, then just submit a memorial to Ying Chang to declare the failure of the matter.

Ying Chang shook his sleeves, moved his butt back, and adjusted his most comfortable sitting posture to look at the ministers and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's talk to me about the financial situation of the 26th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty and the budget this year!"

After the words came, Zhang Feizi bent down and wrote a report: "Report to Your Majesty, as of December 30, 26th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the fiscal revenue of the Qin Dynasty once again broke through the historical high. This year, our dynasty ushered in a bumper harvest. The annual grain tax was 110 million stones of grain, salt tax was 50 million taels of silver, commercial tax was 200 million taels of silver, and customs tax was 150 million taels of silver. The three states outside the pass made a profit of 100 million taels of silver by selling cattle, sheep and horses!"

"The Ministry of Revenue Business Department made a profit of 200 million taels of silver throughout the year. According to the above statistics, the total fiscal revenue of the Shengqin in the 26th year was 800 million taels of silver and 110 million stones of grain. The Great Qin Treasury currently has 212.9 million taels of silver and 255 million stones of grain!"

The finance this year is almost doubled last year, especially the commercial tax, which has increased by more than doubled. This is not because there are too many merchants in Daqin, but because of the "credit" of the Ordnance Department. The Ordnance Department purchased a large amount of nitrite soil from the merchants. The merchant received the funds from the Ordnance Department and then paid huge commercial tax to the government.

Compared with the money given to the Ordnance Department by Daqin, most of this was returned to the court, with the left hand turning to the right hand.

"So much, why do you spend it?" Ying Chang was immediately a little worried.

When the Qin Dynasty was poor, I wanted to split a penny in half and spend it as two cents. Now the national treasury is full of silver, and I don’t know how to spend the money.

If the emperors of all countries knew that Ying Chang had this idea, they would definitely vomit blood. I was so angry that I was worried about money every day. You were worried about the amount of money. It was really too much to deceive others. Not to mention the emperors of all countries, all the officials in the Qilin Hall could not stand it anymore.

Look, is this what a person says?

"There is a saying in the world that the elders have a support. Since I, Daqin, always shouting for the world that the Emperor is in the world, then take practical actions and pass on my will. From now on, all counties and places will establish nursing homes to accommodate 55-year-old men who have no children. We will ask special people to take care of them. All expenses will be borne by the court!"

"At the same time, all the people of the Qin Dynasty, over 60 years old, can go to the government for one or two silver pensions every year. Starting this year, the Ministry of Revenue will be in charge of these two matters. What are your objections to this?" Ying Chang looked at the ministers with a sharp look. Although he was asking all the officials if they had any objections, his tone gave people an unquestionable feeling.

"I am no different!" The ministers shouted in unison with respect!

"Very good!" Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Zhang Feizi took out a memorial from his arms, bent down and presented it with his hands: "Your Majesty, this is the budget memorial for this year!"

Pei Ji immediately stepped down from the platform, took over the budget memorial from Zhang Feizi, and then presented it to the imperial platform. Ying Chang took over the budget memorial and expanded it to view it. The content of the budget memorial is as follows:

[Sheng Qin 27th Annual Budget]

[Ministry of War: The Ordnance Department budget is 100 million taels of silver; the army budget is 24 million taels of silver and 8 million shi of grain; the navy budget is 4.8 million taels of silver and 1 million shi of grain; the reserve battalion budget is 70 million taels of silver and 15.5 million shi of grain, and the Ministry of War daily expenditure budget is 500,000 taels of silver]

[Ministry of Rites; Daily expenses of 200,000 taels of silver]

[Ministry of Revenue: The three prefectures outside the pass need 40 million stones of grain to maintain the survival of more than 11 million herders. The annual expenditure of governments in various places in the Qin Dynasty and officials in various places. The budget for the salaries of the imperial government is 20 million taels of silver, and the budget for the daily expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue is 300,000 taels of silver!]

[Ministry of Industry: Daily expenditure budget of 300,000 taels of silver]

[Ministry of Personnel; the daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of Personnel is 300,000 taels of silver]

[Zhongshu Academy; the daily expenditure budget of schools in various places is 5.5 million taels of silver, and the daily expenditure budget of Zhongshu Academy is 500,000 taels of silver]

[The total annual fiscal budget for the 27th year of the Great Qin Dynasty's dynasty is: 206.1 million taels of silver, 64.5 million taels of food!]

After reading the budget memorial, Ying Chang folded the budget memorial and handed it to Pei Ji. Pei Ji took the budget memorial and walked down the platform again. He handed it back to Zhang Feizi with both hands. After Zhang Feizi received the budget memorial, Ying Chang said:

"I have no problem with this year's budget, but I just said that we should establish a pension system and a nursing home system. These two items are also relatively expensive, especially in the early stage. Therefore, in terms of overall budget, I will add an additional budget of 40 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue!"

With Ying Chang's budget now, this year's budget will reach 246.1 million taels of silver, and the treasury will only be 1.875.8 million taels of silver and 190.5 million shi of grain left!

"I will increase this year's budget immediately according to Your Majesty's request!" Zhang Feizi bent down respectfully and responded.

Ying Chang looked around the ministers and saw that no one continued to stand up to report the matter, he gave Pei Ji a look. Pei Ji nodded slightly and immediately shouted to the officials: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

No one stood out of the queue!

Ying Chang's eyes slowly stood up from the black dragon throne, and walked down the platform without looking back. At the same time, the ministers knelt down on the ground, and each looked respectfully chanted loudly: "I respectfully send you Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

When Ying Chang disappeared in the Qilin Hall, all the officials stood up from the ground one after another, walked with their colleagues, and left the solemn and sacred Qilin Hall one after another. On the way, the ministers were also discussing today's court discussion:

"Your Majesty really thinks, how can crops be planted for two seasons and three seasons!"

PS: "Please order all!"
Chapter completed!
