beautiful heart

He also asked Honghua to come in and gave some instructions. Beishan decided to continue to review the few remaining memorials, because conscription cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, and after she reformed the conscription system, all expenses such as weapons and clothing fell on Donghai's finances, so States have recently applied for grants in this name.

Every state’s finances are turned over to the treasury except for daily expenses and officials’ salaries. There are few wars in the East China Sea, so a lot of money has been accumulated for several generations, and the income from their own business should be incomparable. That's right, but in fact the treasury only has 110 taels of silver, and the private house silver, that is, business income, is only 50 taels.

If it is converted into RMB at the current price of the East China Sea, it is 1000 billion. According to historical records, the annual income of the treasury of the former dynasty can reach up to [-] million taels. so tall.

The world is in chaos and wars are raging, daily production is affected, and the natural economy also declines. According to reliable sources, the annual fiscal revenue of the other four places is sometimes less than 20 taels.

It is not easy for Donghai to have a surplus of 160 million taels. Although Bei Shanding loves money, he loves the country more. Therefore, although each state applies for about 8 taels of funds, Bei Shanding is still worried that it will not be enough. Every state except Lanzhou 10 taels were allocated, and as for Lanzhou, the government treasury was directly responsible for not appropriating additional funds.

Da Sinong is the highest official in charge of finance, Lanzhou military supplies should have been handed over to him, but since the old Da Sinong retired and returned to his hometown, Bei Shanding has not found a suitable person to take up this important position, so it has been vacant until now , and now Guang Luxun is in charge of the daily finances and government spending.

Although Guang Luxun is in charge, it is up to Beishan to decide how to spend it. He allocated 50 taels, or [-] million, at once. It would be a lie to say that he does not feel distressed, but military equipment is a must-have, no matter how poor he is. Nor will she save money on this.

Since the last time he went shopping in the mountain city, Kitayama has realized the importance of prices. Not long after he came back, he sent people to various places to investigate the specific prices and financial trends. Otherwise, he would not know that the annual income of the other four places is only 20 taels sometimes. .

As for prices, there are great differences among the five places, but generally one tael of silver is equal to more than 1000 yuan, that is, a copper plate is worth about one yuan, while a copper plate can be made for more than two yuan in the most prosperous period of the previous dynasty. It can be seen that the economic damage is not in one spot.

Although the money in various places is made of gold, silver and copper, their shapes and weights are different. ri is the unit of distance.

Gold and silver are always the currency of ancient times. They are money no matter where they are, but the specific purchasing power varies. Among them, the price of goods in various places is the most expensive in Jinwang, and the cheapest in Donghai. Beishan must be very satisfied with this point, and also I am very proud of my ancestors, because these are the results of generations of hard work.

Prices are stable and cheap, which means that the daily production in the East China Sea has not been greatly damaged. On the contrary, some of them have developed better than in the previous dynasty. In the long run, the East China Sea will definitely become the most fertile place in Tianyi Continent.

Although Beishanjia has two major commercial firms, a furniture store and a tea store, the sales volume of furniture is not very large, because tea needs to be drunk every day and furniture can be used for decades once purchased. Once the market is saturated, there will be a large backlog of products. , The furniture store has stopped production several times for sale.

Both Beishan Takashi and Beishan Ming have thought about closing the furniture business, but because this is the only ancestral property left by Beishan Yun, and furniture making is related to carpenters, their family has been carpenters for generations, and the first family motto is not If you forget your origin, you can only think about whether it has not been closed in the end.

Fortunately, the profit of the tea shop is good. Even the most loss-making year of the furniture shop can make up for this loophole and have a slight surplus. Regarding this point, Beishan must admire his great-grandmother Fanying very much. If it weren't for the tea shop she left behind, the furniture shop would I'm afraid it has to be closed long ago.

In ancient times, salt and iron were the necessities of life, and the profits were not low. In addition, monitoring the use of iron could also prevent riots. Therefore, as long as the world was peaceful, salt and iron were sold by officials in the previous dynasty and even in ancient times, and copper ornaments were even more important for the monarch. It can only be used, and private individuals and even officials cannot hide it for private use.

But now in some places, copper ornaments are everywhere, private salt sales are rampant, and iron has been reduced to businessmen. Fortunately, the ancestors of Bei Shanding have inherited the previous system, so these things are rare in the East China Sea. This is one of the reasons why Donghai can earn a lot of money.

For this reason, it is much easier for Beishan to smelt a large number of weapons and armor. Iron is officially sold in the East China Sea, which is very convenient for concentration and smelting. It's not difficult.

As early as the beginning of conscription, Bei Shanding asked Ma Ren and Wen Zhong to supervise the production of [-] pieces of high-quality weapons and armor in the largest smelting workshop on the outskirts of Xingcheng. hands.

The reason why Beishan decided to estimate [-] at the beginning was that he wanted to build weapons and armor for Dongzhou. Who knew that Guanglan Prefecture had collected [-], so he had to allocate money to the states to prepare for their own supervision. Among them, Dongzhou was the most difficult Yes, because Dongzhou is not rich in iron ore.

Considering this reason, Beishan decided to transport a few ships of iron ore from Qingzhou, which is rich in iron ore, to the north. It is summer and the southeast wind blows, and the wind and water are smooth. It will be delivered to Dongzhou within ten days. , specially appointed Yang Ming and Wang Gan as escort officers, and they have already set off for Qingzhou this morning.

In addition to money, the minister's memorial is to make a choice, and there is a routine to report on time, and there is a certain official to impeach a certain official. When this happens, Beishan will definitely send his confidants to investigate. Check it out.

The general framework of the laws currently in use in the East China Sea is from the previous dynasty, but there have also been changes. The laws of the previous dynasty were strict, and the people naturally disliked them.

Opening the last memorial, it turned out to be about punishment and prison. A Qipin Shizi prison embezzled 1000 taels. According to the laws of Dongzhou, any official who embezzled more than 500 taels was sentenced to death. The confessions, witnesses, and physical evidence were complete. The death penalty imposed by the law is reasonable and reasonable, and the approval is "yes".

All death sentences must be reported regardless of Lanzhou or other states. Because the current laws in Donghai are relatively loose, there are very few people who have been sentenced to death since Beishan Ding ascended the throne. It's only half a month.

"My lord, Wang Shiwei and Yang Shiwei are already waiting outside." Seeing that Beishan Ding closed the memorial and prepared to put the red flowers away, she quickly stepped forward to help and report. She was doing these things every day, and she was already familiar with the road.

"Let them in," Bei Shanding stood up and walked around the table before opening his mouth. Every time he finished approving the memorial pens, he drank a cup of Xueshan Xueya, and Xiaodongzi's tea was brought to her just as soon as he sat down again.

"See my lord" Bei Shanding's bodyguards and Shui Jialing's bodyguards are usually in the outer mansion, and they are not allowed to enter the inner mansion without being summoned by the master, so Wang Zheng and Yang Yin are no exception. They have been in the Hou's mansion for many months He didn't see his master, so he was naturally very happy to be summoned.

"Wai Li, I called you here this time because I have an extremely important matter to entrust to you. I don't worry about others. I can only rest assured if I let you go." Use my self-proclaimed name.

"Please tell me, my lord, even if you are smashed to pieces, the subordinates will definitely complete the task." Yesterday Yang Ming and Wang Gan went to work the next day after they were recruited into the inner mansion. They were both jealous and envious. I didn't expect the lord to have more important things. The mission was to be handed over to them, and they were immediately overjoyed.

"These are two superstitious letters related to the future of the East China Sea. Each of you must send one letter to Zhongshan and Ferry to Da Sima and the prime minister." Beishan decided to hand the two letters that had been written long ago and sealed with wax and seals. Xiaodongzi, Xiaodongzi took it and put it in their hands respectively.

"No, my subordinates are leaving immediately, and my subordinates are waiting to leave." After receiving the envelope, the shoulders of the two of them suddenly became heavier, but their hearts felt as hot as if they were about to spurt blood, and their enthusiasm was nothing more than that.

"Let's stay and listen when you get there. I will send someone to pass the message to you." Bei Shanding waved his hands after finishing speaking, and the two saluted again and left. I really thank this gentleman for his etiquette. She didn't like to see it when she was young. Other people's backs, now they really won't be seen.

After asking about the time, it was getting late, Bei Shan decided to leave, and asked someone to go to the Phoenix Palace to say that he would not go back for dinner today, and then changed into more low-key clothes in the back hall of the Imperial Study before going out.

Three riders, one in front, two in back, one in white and two in black, rushed out from behind the Hou's mansion, all the way out of the city gate, and went straight to the east camp of the imperial guards in the outskirts. .

The setting sun actually dyed half of the sky on the outskirts of Xingcheng red, and the three riders just passed by the sun, which was so beautiful for a moment, but unfortunately the person in the painting didn't know it, but the red sunset was still a kind of beauty in her eyes. A rare masterpiece.

Li Qing came to Dongying early, and as soon as she signed up, someone took her to a school ground. Not long after, Wen Zhong, Ma Ren, Zhang Yi, and Yang Xiao also arrived at the school grounds. Just after the application, two freshmen also arrived at the school grounds. According to Wen Zhong, she only knew that the two were Li Chang and Yang Yong, they worked in Dongzhou, and they had just arrived in Xingcheng a day ago.

Seeing that the time has come, the school grounds are still empty, except for a few of them sitting in the arena on the school grounds, there is no one else, if not for the occasional sounds of military training from other school grounds, they would almost suspect that they have gone the wrong way place.

As time went on, the few people became more and more irritable, but they could only bear it when they thought of other people watching, but the thoughts in their hearts were the same, from the initial curiosity to doubt, and then to Doubt, the current volcanic state is on the verge of breaking out at any time.
