In fact, the Han Dynasty was in a strange state since the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the country did not have money, but the country could not use money.

All the money was spent inexplicable places. Huan Tan's "New Theory" records relatively detailed Han Dynasty taxes and since the Han Dynasty's Xuan, the people's taxes were collected, with a year of more than 400 million yuan, and the officials' salary was half of it, and the remaining 200 million yuan was hidden in the capital to ban money. The Shaofu led the garden and pond to provide 830 million yuan to reward the palace.

I found no problem, the tax revenue was only 4 billion yuan, and the Shaofu can get 8.3 billion yuan a year by doing trouble and doing industry. At first glance, there seems to be no problem.

But in fact, there were two very famous taxes in the Han Dynasty, one called sacrificial tuition and the other called moustache. As for the remaining land rent, during the reign of Emperor Jing, when I waved my hand, I might be afraid that others would change it and be nailed to death. Thirty taxes are one, that is, I just need to pay 3.33% of the grain production.

It can be said that the land rent can be basically negligible. The real problem of the Western Han Dynasty was that after the land annexation, the people planted land of powerful landlords from all over the country. In fact, this problem occurred since the reign of Emperor Wu. Dong Zhongshu said, "If you farm the land of the rich and powerful people, you will see the 15th tax." In other words, you must pay half of the land for the powerful.

However, if you pay half of it, you won’t be able to survive. The problem is that the more you pay, the larger the amount of the share. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all things like 7 of the 10 taxes were released. And no matter you have a disaster or a famine, it will be the rate. In the end, the people have no choice but to rise up. This is why the people still call themselves virtuous.

In addition to the things like sleepwalking in countries like Tianzu, the Han Dynasty's taxes are actually calculated by tuition and tuition. Among them, tuition refers to adults having 120 yuan a year, and merchants and slaves doubled. The latter is considered to be a powerful landlord, but it has no use for ghosts.

The money for verbal money is for children, who are twenty yuan a year.

These two are the real big heads. During the Zhaoxuan period, the population of the Han Dynasty had recovered to more than 50 million. These two alone should have a total of 60 billion yuan. However, including other taxes of all sizes, it was only 4 billion yuan in the end.

Where did the other money go? Greedy? What a joke? An emperor like Zhaoxuan is not really stupid, let alone such simple math problems, so don’t sit in that position and pretend to be dead. In fact, that part has been intercepted very reasonably.

Whether it is construction, industry, etc., it requires money. If there is no way to connect it in various places, it can only repetitive construction, or even repetitive waste, and finally eat up some of it.

As for Shaofu, although the route he took was a bit crooked, it actually reduced a lot of losses, so that after one year, it was twice as high as the treasury tax.

This is what Chen Xi wants to complain about the most. Just think about the status of Shaofu. In the future, it will be a real ministerial level. Such a thing is to engage in industries and have the support of the state, so it has reached this level. There are also many places to complain about.

"I have a foundation to report." Chen Xi sighed and decided to report the achievements of Yuanfeng in the third year. Otherwise, there would be no comparison, so where would the harm come from? Look at these court officials, each of whom is civil and military, but it doesn't make money, so it's meaningless.

"Authentication." Liu Tong glanced at Chen Xi and said angrily.

"I think I still need to report on the income and expenditure of last year." Chen Xi sighed and said. Everyone else heard this, and they all communicated with each other. They had speculations about the income and expenditure of Yuanfeng in the three years, but there is no accurate number so far, just thinking that it is far beyond the previous level.

"Last year, 74 billion yuan was collected and 728 billion yuan was spent, including 422 billion military expenditures, 206 billion yuan in various industries, 10 billion yuan in internal and external royal family, and 1.2 billion yuan in surplus." Chen Xi read the data he compiled.

In fact, the military expenditure is not that much. The royal family's internal and external expenditures are only 200 million to 300 million yuan, but Chen Xi cannot say that he spent more than 65 billion yuan on the industry. The rest is basically all military expenditure, which basically exposes a lot of things.

Besides, there will definitely be doubts if there is so much investment in industrial development. If it can be converted into military expenditures, it will be more than 40 billion yuan. In view of the face of the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, the military service of the entire militia, and the seventh-generation ships, the ministers will be shocked, but they will not have doubts about this.

With military investment, and industrial investment, it is not so eye-catching. In the end, I was throwing a 10 billion yuan inside and outside the royal family, just to give Liu Tong a pot, but Liu Tong definitely couldn't figure out what was wrong. After all, the money for building a garden and the money for building a palace is really a lot.

But that's what it said, but after reading the court, it exploded. Everyone can understand that the military expenditure is 40 billion yuan. After all, Chen Xi's batch after batch of heavy armor is not a joke. It is hundreds of thousands of armor, which is 10 billion yuan. Everyone knows the armor prepared for military service, the pensions and salaries of the military and civilians, and the salary of 40 billion yuan.

It is understandable that the industrial layout is more than 20 billion yuan. After all, there are so many cattle, sheep, horses, so many textile industries, so many mines, and so many state-owned economic crop farms. If you spend 20 billion yuan, you will not lose money. Besides, even if you lose money this year, you will make money back next year.

In fact, the reason for the explosion of China and North Korea was the amount of royal expenditure. I really don’t know. I was shocked when I calculated that the royal family spent 10 billion yuan. How many people are there in the royal family now? When the royal family surnamed Liu had thousands of dollars, the expenditure could not be one tenth.

Thinking about it again, Liu Yu and Liu Ai are all frugal people. Liu Bei, Liu Zhang and Liu Ye all spend their own money. Their emotional expenses are all the cost of the person above?

Thinking of this, all the old ministers who have suffered more than four dynasties have turned green. Emperor Ling has the ability to spend one-tenth of the eldest princess? There is no, and it has been silently spent tens of billions, and it has to be calculated before people can realize that this is also a kind of ability!

"I spent so much?" Liu Tong was stunned, then thought about it, and instantly remembered that he made pastries at the beginning of the year, zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the two palaces that were under construction outside that had not stopped until now. His face suddenly turned red, and he seemed to be unable to hold back.

"This is all last year's matter. Don't discuss this this year. Isn't there any surplus?" Liu Tong coughed lightly and threw the blame away. Anyway, there was no Hua Chao. Besides, this was all approved by the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. Shangshu Pushe approved the money. If I had a pot, everyone would have it.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Chen Xi bowed his fists and threw a deep-water bomb and started to remember the supplies he had earned. "Currently, 130,000 war horses, 410,000 horned horses, 820,000 cows, 11 million sheep, 420,000 pigs, 700,000 silk, 3.2 million cotton cloth, 6 million pounds of wool, and war..."

Chen Xi thought of a lot of things. Except for silk, which was less than last year, the others were all in the scale of building storage. In fact, the 700,000 pieces of silk were not sent to Central Asia to contact Rome. Rome really collected as much silk as silk.

"So much left?" Liu Bei was overjoyed and sent a message to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi rolled his eyes. What does it mean to have so much surplus? These are just not available yet. When the materials are used, it is very fast. Wen Jing's decades of reserves were fought by Emperor Wu in a very short time. On the one hand, discussing strategies in the war is one aspect, and robbing food and materials is the other.

"Your report is simple and unpretentious, but he is also a great country." Liu Tong was deeply satisfied. She could really understand these things. Although she didn't study hard, she was sensitive to money, grain and materials, as long as the person sitting on them.

As for the ministers, they were a little dizzy at this time. It was because they experienced Guanghe and Zhongping that they could feel more clearly what horror was. Chen Xi was really using supplies to make a way out.

"I've finished reporting." Chen Xi said with a conscientious expression. In fact, he sneered in his heart. At this level, not to mention the tax revenues of the Song Dynasty at its peak, even the Tang Dynasty has not arrived. He has been chasing the giant Tang for five years and surpassing the Song Dynasty for ten years. If he doesn't play with the silence, he will be the total tax revenue!

After Chen Xi's report was finished, most of the court officials were still in a dizzy state. After Liu Tong asked again, he was sure that no one had reported it. He immediately opened the palace gate and waited for the tribute of the countries!

Soon the former queen of Funan brought her own gifts, including ten ivory, ten night pearls, and other rare treasures. However, Liu Tong looked very calm, and it was obvious that these things could no longer impress Liu Tong.

In the past few years, Liu Tong had just ascended the throne and had never seen the world. Now it has been the fourth year of Yuanfeng, and he has seen tribute several times. Including the Roman envoys who came to form an alliance back then, it was even more eye-opening. Naturally, these things are completely untouchable to people's hearts now.

Or maybe Liu Tong is eating well and drinking well, and the hearts of the people are swelling, and it is already a little difficult to touch his conscience, so he naturally looks dull.

More than 60 countries with different sizes and unknown origins paid tribute in turn and were enfeoffed, and those guys with territory also began to take out things.

It was not until Juhu entered the court that Liu Tong, who had been watching the show before, sat down and waited for the gift from the old Yuan family.

"This is Ju Hu, Ju Gongyu's son, who is quite talented. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan would actually send him to the court." Guo Jiayao's voice transmission to Chen Xi explained.

"Is there anything wrong with him?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"No problem, but do you think that such a person is needed for a tribute? I was thinking about the fact that the Yuan family had other ideas." Guo Jia used his mentally retarded brain to estimate the voice transmission twice.
