Edo Traveler

"When I think of tens of millions of taels of gold rolling in, whether it's the shogunate or the city, I feel extremely rich."

Tadashi Mizuno, who was sitting at the beginning, sighed quite a bit. The finances of the shogunate itself, because of the customs surplus of Binhai Customs, Nagasaki Customs, Box (Guan) Customs, and Shenguan Customs, increased every year, until last year. The annual tribute rice was collected to the government, and after the customs officials were released to the city, after accounting, there were always no less than five million taels.

This is only the income of the shogunate itself, the actual income of the three major clubs combined has exceeded 10 million taels. It is only because of the large-scale investment in the construction of railways and industrial facilities, the purchase of new ships and the allocation of education funds that the three major clubs seem to have little balance.

"That's right!" Songping Qimin also replied.

"Why don't you follow the example of the UK and establish a budgetary system?" At this time, Tokugawa Keifuku, who was sitting at the end, suddenly whispered.

Nowadays, there are few people in Tokugawa Yurenzhi and Matsudaira, and the loyal guards are in control of the military and their position is stable, so they are determined to promote Yuyimen and others. I don't want to use Matsudaira Keiyong and Tokugawa Keiji. Tokugawa Keibao served as the guardian of Kyoto in Luoyang, and when it comes to the Koneda clan, there is only one Lieutenant General Tokugawa Keifuku left.

In addition, Tokugawa Keifuku also visited Europe and the United States for three years. Although he didn't study abroad, right, he saw all kinds of things. If he didn't bring apprentices for government affairs, wouldn't it be a waste?

"Decision on the budget system?" Matsudaira Qixuan used to sit next to Chuemon. As the eldest elder, he had a position above the general minister. Now he turned directly and looked at Tokugawa Keifuku.

Tokugawa Qingfu saw that everyone was looking at him, but he was not very stage fright. The emperors and kings of various countries saw a long series of them, and they had already opened their eyes.

"Actually, a national bank should be set up. It just so happens that one tael of gold is equal to one pound of British currency, which is very easy to reconcile." Tokugawa Keifu stood up. Anyway, he was at the end, so he could introduce it to everyone.

There is a long list of decisions about the budget system. It may not be possible to finish in three or five thousand words, so let's not go into details. The shogunate itself, because of the collection system of annual tribute rice, can actually calculate the annual revenue roughly.

Now plus a customs surplus, then it is fully capable of setting a budget system on this basis. The annual expenses were decided at the beginning of the year, and the details of the funds were listed one by one. Transform the originally chaotic fiscal expenditures, especially the separation of internal funds and the shogunate's own revenue.

Avoid the vice habit of successive shoguns, who kept reaching out to the shogunate's Kinzo again. The expenses of the general itself and Dao can only be allocated to a fixed amount in the future. From the feudal family of Wang Tu in the world, to the modern semi-capital and semi-feudal government system, a rule was established.

This alone is actually unacceptable to all feudal monarchs!

After playing the country and sitting in the country, the imperial grain that the common people received is for me to eat, drink and play. Why should I add another procedure in the future, and the shogunate will first prepare the budget before allocating the internal money to me?

So everyone listened to Tokugawa Keifuku and looked at Chuemon from the corner of their eyes. Among them, Chuyouemon still controls the life and death, the feudal king.

"The company is the most important, the king is the light, and it should be like this!"

But it never occurred to me that Chuemon didn't feel anything wrong at all. A clear and definite finance is one of the foundations of a country's establishment and a very important part.

Since Chuemon has the intention to change to the modern dual monarchy, the re-establishment of this system is necessary, and Chuemon is happy to accept it.

Fortunately, the Tokugawa shogunate did not have an internal affairs office, and there were no more than 20,000 internal affairs officials and officials, and more than 200,000 family members who depended on it.

Thankfully, Dao has been cleaned up by Mrs. Atsuji, leaving only some mother-in-law and mother-in-law. With the death of Tokugawa Jiading, another group of people was sent to the bhikhuni mansion under the city, and now Dao is also a nursing home. If Chuemon does not order new admissions, it will not be enriched.

"The superior is wise!" Tokugawa Keifu raised his eyebrows with joy.

If he said this, he would definitely need to take a great political risk. It is Yu Sanqing itself, and the general defense of the past dynasties can compete for the position, just like the defense of thieves. Now it's so easy to have the opportunity to sit in on political affairs. It stands to reason that one should be careful in being a person, not say a word, and listen more, see more, and do more.

After all, Tokugawa Keifu is not a jerk, he also has his own ambitions. If you haven't seen the appearance of civilization and prosperity of the great powers, that's all. Now that I have seen it, the powers are changing with each passing day, and Tokugawa Keifuku, who is completely tied to the Tokugawa shogunate, certainly hopes that the shogunate can get better.

"Go ahead." Chuemon nodded, signaling Tokugawa Keifuku to continue.

"Naturally, it is necessary to entrust a commissioner to strictly control the income and expenditure. For example, as the Marquis of Mingshi said, their funds should be used exclusively for their own use, and must not be misappropriated..."

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, his financial revenue and expenditure situation was like shit, and he misappropriated military funds from the Nine Frontiers to repair the Yellow River. This is not bad, at least he built the Yellow River Dam. The most disgusting thing is to embezzle the military expenses of Jiubian to build palaces and mausoleums, but any emperor with a little brain knows that things are coming, and they must seize military power.

The champions and officials are like dogs, and they are always under the knife!

As long as there is a palace to live in, it's over, repair a fart. The more money is spent everywhere, the more money is spent on the military. Take the army you built in your hands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and win over it. Even if the north is gone, there is still half of it. As for hanging the old crooked neck tree.

The current Tokugawa shogunate is to avoid this situation. If military expenditures are compiled, they must be military expenditures, education funds must be given to education, and reclamation funds must be cultivated. Just in case a few paper painters jumped out, they opened their mouths and said that the military affairs in a certain place had ended, so they quickly embezzled the money.

Move the hammer!

"It is extremely! The special funds must be used for special purposes!" Songping Qixuan obviously supported this very much.

And looking at his appearance, it seems that he is preparing to prepare a special budget for the shogunate's new naval and army. Who called Xinjun really useful!

"The second is to establish a bank, rectify the currency, follow the example of the United Kingdom, and establish a gold standard system." Tokugawa Keifuku saw that Zhongemon's eyes were mostly supportive and even more enthusiastic.

Originally, if you always rely on gold and silver coins, it will be difficult to supply enough gold and silver on the market. In the end, it still has to change in the direction of paper money, but because the shogunate really has no reputation in finance, Chuemon has never mentioned this matter.

Now that I'm in power, maybe there's a way to change it.
