Chapter 321: Apocalypse Seven Years Budget

Zhu Youxiao decided to finish the New Year after the end of the year. With the arrival of the end of the year, the annual report on the fiscal budget has begun.&1t;/p>

The Ministry of Works reported a series of projects completed in the sixth year of the Tianqi period. Last year, the imperial court directly allocated 100 million yuan to build water conservancy projects in various northern provinces.&1t;/p>

The 100 million yuan fund was thrown out, and a lot of things were repaired.&1t;/p>

Water conservancy facilities in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places have been built, and these water conservancy facilities are mainly carried out around the Yellow River.&1t;/p>

The construction of these water conservancy facilities has caused the Yellow River Basin to collapse only once in the sixth year of Tianqi, and the management has begun to take effect.&1t;/p>

In addition, most of the northern highway network built by the imperial court has been completed in terms of provincial roads, while in the northeast region, the road construction is the fastest.&1t;/p>

The shipbuilding industry has also been developing rapidly. In the sixth year of Tianqi, 826 merchant ships with more than 1,000 tons were manufactured, of which nearly 7o3 were manufactured by state-owned shipyards, an increase of 3o% compared with last year. Among them, 35 were large ships of 2ooo tons. However, the Ming Dynasty still had a large gap in demand for merchant ships, mainly because the expansion was too fast.&1t;/p>

"Now there are more than 2oo 6oo merchant ships under construction, and they can be completed and launched next year. The shipbuilding capacity of state-owned shipyards is gradually shifting to 6oo merchant ships." Wang Weihui, Minister of Works, reported.&1t;/p>

"How many ships will be started next year?" Zhu Youxiao asked.&1t;/p>

"According to the plans reported by various state-owned shipyards, 35o 6ooo merchant ships will be started next year." Wang Wei replied.&1t;/p>

"Yeah! Very good." Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction. The increase in merchant ships means that the Ming Dynasty can obtain more food and raw materials from the outside.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, transportation is not sufficient, and sea transportation is the biggest weapon. In addition to the interests of maritime trade, the shipbuilding funds of state-owned shipyards are all bank loans to build ships. The return rate of merchant ships is very stable and it is basically impossible to lose money. Moreover, the tonnage of merchant ships is getting bigger and bigger. The adaptability of sea conditions will also increase, and maritime accidents will also decrease.&1t;/p>

Marine trade profits are amazing, especially when most ocean trade is monopolized by state-owned capital. Although with the expansion of trade scale, some things are not so profitable, but the volume has increased.&1t;/p>

Although private merchant ships can also enter some areas 2∧ding2∧point 2∧small 2∧s, .←.o■&1t;    s="arn:2p    o     2p    o">&1t;srp    p="/aasrp">s_();&1t;/srp>&1t;/> trade. However, after the huge profits were gradually eliminated, the scale of private merchant ships did not increase, so the huge profitable ocean trade situation has basically ended. Those trade objects with huge profits are monopolized by state-owned capital, such as trade with the Portuguese.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, except for the Portuguese who can transport large amounts of silver from the Americas to East Asia, the Dutch and Spain have been driven out of East Asia.&1t;/p>

Trade with Japan is also quite profitable, but it is also monopolized by the official and private merchant ships cannot enter.&1t;/p>

Luxury goods transactions in various places are basically purchased and transported by state-owned consortiums. It is difficult for private merchant ships to buy these goods.&1t;/p>

If North Korea's ginseng, mink and other commodities are monopolized by several state-owned consortium trading companies. These trading companies are now open everywhere, all over the Southeast Asian region and the Indochina Peninsula.&1t;/p>

These businesses are mainly responsible for selling goods to various places, purchasing local raw materials, grain, and natural luxury goods, and then transporting them back to the country.&1t;/p>

Of course, private merchant ships have a small tonnage and are more flexible in transporting goods, which is a major advantage. State-owned merchant ships prefer to transport commodities.&1t;/p>

The Ministry of Revenue also submitted the fiscal revenue statement for the sixth year of Tianqi. The fiscal revenue in the sixth year of Tianqi has grown rapidly. The new policy area's commercial tax, personal income tax, luxury goods tax, deed tax and other tax revenues were loaded together, reaching more than 5,600 yuan.&1t;/p>

After a year of rectification and anti-smuggling, the salt tax has been increased to more than 1.80,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

The income from seigniorage has also increased with the banknotes, reaching more than 260,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

Agricultural tax revenue has exploded with the development of a large amount of arable land in the Northeast region and agricultural taxes in Taiwan, Luzon and other places, reaching an income of more than 420,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

In addition, the court sold assets for more than 310,000 yuan. At this time, the court still had a large number of assets obtained from the house search, and the land assets obtained from expansion were not sold.&1t;/p>

The dividends paid by state-owned enterprises reached more than 210,000 yuan. At this time, the dividend ratio of state-owned enterprises was 12%, which was not a very high proportion. The main reason was that state-owned enterprises were still expanding and needed a certain amount of funds.&1t;/p>

Customs revenue has grown rapidly, increasing to more than 330,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

In the sixth year of Tianqi, fiscal revenue reached more than 22.8oo yuan, compared with last year, fiscal revenue increased by 7.4oo yuan.&1t;/p>

Last year's budget was 280 million yuan, including the previous surplus of 800,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

In total, the treasury surplus in the sixth year of the Tianqi period was 270,000 yuan, and the royal family spent 130,000 yuan, and the actual remaining 140,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

This 1.40,000 yuan is basically reserved for royal expenses next year, and the royal expenses have not been collected from the treasury over the years. After all, the emperor is doing business.&1t;/p>

The Ministry of Revenue believes that the court's fiscal revenue will grow rapidly next year. First, after Shandong entered reform, Shandong became a highlight of tax growth. In addition, the continued development of the Northeast region will continue, and the fiscal and tax revenue provided to the court will also increase.&1t;/p>

At the same time, tax revenues in Taiwan, Luzon, Java and Malacca will also increase further.&1t;/p>

Customs income and salt tax income will also increase.&1t;/p>

In addition to the expansion of production scale and the expansion of overseas markets, another important factor is the growth of currency volume.&1t;/p>

One is the increase in the amount of currency, one is the inflow of silver, and the other is the seigniorage tax.&1t;/p>

After statistics on grain stocks and grain production scale, the Ministry of Revenue believes that a 600,000 yuan seigniorage tax can be increased for engineering construction. Under such a quota, there will be no abnormal increase in grain prices.&1t;/p>

In addition, the fiscal revenue has been sold for another 5000 yuan, and the fiscal budget for the seventh year of the Tianqi revelation reached an astonishing 350 million yuan.&1t;/p>

With such a large fiscal budget, the Ministry of War directly took 80,000 yuan of military expenditure. First, the naval expenditure increased, and the war in the Western Regions will be recaptured next year, which requires greater military expenditure support.&1t;/p>

Affected by this, the Ministry of Industry's seven-year project construction budget reached 60,000 yuan, and the focus was on the construction of water conservancy in various provinces in the northern Yellow River Basin.&1t;/p>

Other fiscal budgets are divided up by other expenses.&1t;/p>

Although the construction funds invested by the government have decreased, the scale of construction has not actually decreased, but it still shows an increasing trend. Because the main construction force is still a state-owned capital consortium, plus some private funds.&1t;/p>

The increase in construction scale will further increase the demand for workers.&1t;/p>

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty could obtain a larger amount of commercial grain, and the scale of the fishery would be further improved, which would feed a large number of workers. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
