Chapter 220: Another huge military expenditure
In the four quarters of the second year of the Tianqi period, the most profitable fiscal revenue was naturally the minting. Through cooperation with Shanxi Piaohao, a large amount of silver was transported to the capital to mint and minted into silver dollars. ∑, … … The silver minted throughout the year reached 230 million taels, and the profit reached 450,000 yuan. 200,000 yuan more than the original budget of 250,000 yuan.&1t;/p>
The profits of copper ore mining in various places and the casting of copper coins are not too high, only about 40,000 yuan, but copper coins worth 120,000 yuan were cast throughout the year. The reason why profits were lowered is mainly because the cost of copper ore is relatively high. Because of vigorous mining of copper ore, many copper ore with not too much value is also in the mining range.&1t;/p>
Although the mining of these copper mines has lowered profits and increased material costs, it has supported many workers, which is completely acceptable.&1t;/p>
Most of the assets of those smuggled merchants were cashed out by the end of the year, and they received about 130,000 yuan of funds, plus the funds left by Zhu Youxiao of about 150,000 yuan of house searches.&1t;/p>
So by the end of the year, Zhu Youxiao's money had reached 480,000 yuan.&1t;/p>
Before he knew it, Zhu Youxiao had already revitalized the finances. However, this way of increasing fiscal revenue mainly relies on coins and house searches, and then achieves the purpose of wealth redistribution.&1t;/p>
In this way, when the large population like the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do and the productivity has reached a certain level, there is enough manpower and material resources to be drawn.&1t;/p>
Wealth is actually created by labor, and it also depends on the amount of per capita resources. The Ming Dynasty actually has no shortage of resources, but there are problems with distribution.&1t;/p>
Therefore, redistribution of wealth. Spending this wealth to nourish the people at the bottom of society can bring vitality to the economy. Driven by the market, the wealth created will naturally be more.&1t;/p>
With so much money in your hand, the fiscal budget for next year is obviously very full.&1t;/p>
At the end of the year, the cabinet is speeding up its fiscal budget and constantly communicating with the six ministries. The expenditure projects are reported to Zhu Youxiao one by one.&1t;/p>
Military expenditure continued to increase in the third year of the Tianqi revelation, and the Central Army's military expenditure budget increased to 1.50,000 yuan, and the Central Army's salary was relatively high. Military pay, combined with the daily consumption of military supplies and the loss of equipment, it took 1.50,000 yuan to maintain.&1t;/p>
The military expenditure of Liaodong Town has increased to 80,000 yuan. The treatment of soldiers has increased to a certain extent, but the soldiers of Liaodong Town still have a self-sufficiency model. Liaodong's land is fertile, and self-sufficiency can still be maintained when there is enough land. The increased military expenditure of 30,000 yuan is used to increase the treatment. The second is used to build forts and continue to strengthen fortifications.&1t;/p>
The military expenditure of the Dongjiang Army was given 30,000 yuan.&1t;/p>
There are also border towns. According to the previous restructuring plan, each soldier will need to spend nearly 50,000 shi of military rations per year. Basically, the agricultural tax in the north for one year is left to border towns. Converted into silver dollars, it is about 750,000 yuan.&1t;/p>
At the same time, the other personal guards and 7 garrison mixed brigades allocated 30,000 yuan in military salary.&1t;/p>
The military expenditure of the newly established navy has been allocated, and the navy still has about 50,000 yuan in fees, so it does not need to be included in the fiscal budget for the three-year Apocalypse.&1t;/p>
In total, the military expenditure of the three years of Tianqi will be required to be 3.65 million yuan to maintain the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty. But if the scale of fighting with Jiannu was not small, it would be obvious that it would not be able to hold on if it did not leave tens of millions of yuan.&1t;/p>
"Next year, our Ming Dynasty will inevitably need to move in Liaodong. It is impossible to focus on guarding as it is now, so military expenditure is definitely indispensable." Sun Chuanting said to Zhu Youxiao, "I think that a reserved military expenditure of 80,000 is not enough."&1t;/p>
"The treasury will leave 30,000 yuan to deal with the battle situation in Liaodong. When will the troops be arranged?" Zhu Youchao asked Sun Chuanting.&1t;/p>
"Before the end of the year, most of the troops can be in place. Now, eight infantry divisions have been mobilized to Jinzhou. The artillery division is expected to be transferred to Jinzhou until mid-next year."&1t;/p>
"Okay, my dear is ready. I will still be in charge of Jinzhou for me next year, otherwise there will be no one in the Central Army to coordinate and command. In the formation of the Central Army, my dear basically participated in the formation of the Central Army. That is, my dear knows the Central Army best, and I am not at ease when I change to someone else." Zhu Youchao said to Sun Chuanting.&1t;/p>
"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting knew that this matter could not be shirked, and the emperor really had no other candidates.&1t;/p>
In terms of familiarity with the Central Army, no court official can compare with Sun Chuanting. And no one knows the strategies formulated by the commander-in-chief better than Sun Chuanting. At the same time, when it comes to military management, there are only a few who can compare with Sun Chuanting, but they can't go to Jinzhou.&1t;/p>
This is a convention for the Ming Dynasty to consolidate military power with civil and military power. If such a system is rashly abolished, chaos may occur. After all, this system is a complete strategy to maintain the stability of the central imperial power. This system has been born from the bloody lessons of all dynasties. Since the Song Dynasty emphasized civil and military power, the Chinese dynasty has never been in chaos with the rebellion of military generals.&1t;/p>
There is a saying in later generations, saying, "Reform paved the way for revolutionaries." The reforms of the last dynasty were often added to the destruction.&1t;/p>
Now that Zhu Youjiao is implementing reforms, he is as careful as walking on a tightrope, walking on thin ice, and dare not relax at all.&1t;/p>
At this time, the command of military generals can be increased, but it is best not to move around according to the custom of civil unification and military affairs. What Zhu Youxiao did was to establish a command department so that civil officials could become more professional in military affairs, so as not to command internal officials.&1t;/p>
The only thing that has not been controlled now is Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army. The military supervisor Zhang Yan has withdrawn, and Zhu Youxiao has not sent civil servants to control it. The main reason is that the Dongjiang Army's combat method is relatively special and requires greater autonomy. Moreover, most of the Dongjiang Army soldiers have irreconcilable hatred with Jiannu, and the court has never treated military salaries and combat materials, so there is basically no possibility of rebellion. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is only sending people to maintain the military discipline of the Dongjiang Army and has given Mao Wenlong the combat goals. How to implement this goal in detail, Mao Wenlong has a great autonomy.&1t;/p>
Jinzhou is different. More than a dozen divisions of the Central Army gather here. Zhu Youxiao’s remote control command in the capital is not reliable. After all, the war changes rapidly and there is no time to react. Therefore, a civil servant must be sent to Jinzhou to be the head coach, rather than choosing a military general to be the head coach.&1t;/p>
No literature is the first, no martial arts are the second. Once a general breaks the balance of power and suppresses other generals, even if he has no intention of rebelling, it will be very difficult to deal with.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao looked at it and that Sun Chuanting was more suitable. Sun Chuanting had no problem with loyal ministers. In the future, it would be easy for Jiannu to be removed as a civil servant, and there would be no knots between the monarch and the ministers. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
