4. Miscellaneous to 50,000
For the various trajectories of the Tang Empire, the proportion of the third rank of the envoy and the third rank of Liuzhou is different. Generally speaking, in areas with relatively peaceful and peaceful military pressure in western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang, the proportion of the envoy and Liuzhou is higher, more than half; in areas with greater military pressure in Xichuan and Xingyuan, the proportion of the envoy and Liuzhou is higher, because it is necessary to raise soldiers.
"Previously, the Holy Lord sent another 4,000 Huaixi soldiers, and the number of troops in this town also increased. That is, the quota of Guanjian (the regular teams of Baicao Army and Huaixi soldiers, supported by the sending money, and the finance at the first level of the Jiedushi) was 11,000, and the Tumen (the state army united their children, supported by the Liuzhou money, and the state finance at the first level of the finance at the first level of the state) was 5,000. Guanjian needed food, clothing, miscellaneous rewards, and the Tumen needed to collect grain, pickles, and food, plus the salary of the prefecture and the prefecture officials and officials, so the total military capital was 320,000 yuan per year."
So the so-called "military capital" is mainly used for six purposes:
The salaries of officials;
The army's clothes, grain, sauce, and vegetables;
The cost of building armored warriors was a small expense, because the court now agreed to pay, for example, Li Shi would give Xingyuan Mansion 30,000 jin, specifically for building warriors;
Rewards and set up money, that is, "rewards" and "feasts". Under the recruitment system, whether recruiting soldiers or keeping loyalty among soldiers is inseparable from money and wine. This is a huge expense and cannot be measured. If the military funds are not enough, you have to find another way to obtain it, such as levying taxes on the people in addition to levying two taxes;
It takes money to buy war horses and raise war horses, so there is no need to say much;
For the money in the hotel, this part of the money must also be withdrawn from military funds.
Hearing Wei Zhiyi's calculations, Gao Yue nodded and signaled him to continue.
Wei Zhiyi said that in addition to military funds, there is also the "mixed money" of Xingyuan Mansion, with an annual quota of 80,000 guan.
To put it bluntly, this so-called "money money" is the "private treasury" of the governor of Gao Yue, Yang and Lizhou governors, similar to the emperor's Qionglin and Daying treasury. Among them, Gao Yue had 50,000 treasurys, and the governors of the other two states also had more than 10,000 treasurys.
Hearing this number, Gao Yue couldn't help but be shocked. He had just arrived at the young emperor of Ren Xingyuan Prefecture and was busy leading the army out to fight. Unexpectedly, he enjoyed the money paid by Duzhen, which was so terrifying!
Gao Yue couldn't help but quickly settled a small account in his mind - now he is the Young Prime Minister of Xingyuan Prefecture. The salary system of internal and external officials in Tang Dynasty stipulates that those who are Jingzhao and the Grand Priests of each prefecture are 80 guan per month, and those who are Shao Gong and Chang'an, and those who are 10,000 years old and two Chi County Magistrates have 40 guan per month; he also serves as the governor of Liangzhou, with a monthly salary of 70 guan per month; he is also the governor of the three prefectures, and he has 120 guan per month; as the governor of Liangzhou, he has 70 guan per month, and in addition, he has 30 guan per month - that is, he can get 330 guan per month from the Duzhi Department of the imperial court, which is about 4,000 guan per year, which does not include the so-called real title of 100 households and the position of the young prime minister of Xingyuan Prefecture and the governor of Liangzhou in the local area.
Now there is another "mixed money" of 50,000 yuan a year. I'm going, no wonder Ma Lin could spend 200,000 yuan in the capital to repair the central hall.
Finally, at that time, when Jixianyuan was the master of the official position, he had to pay six guan a month and rely on A Ni's cosmetics to subsidize his family's time, and he would never return.
Of course, this private money was not handed over to Gao Yue to get it directly into his cabinet. To put it seriously, it is considered the "private office fund" of Gao Yue, the local officials, and the use is more useful, such as "salt and cheese paste salary", such as "maid powder money" (it is Gao Yue's turn to pay the wives and concubines), such as "private banquet money" (such as if you hire a shogunate to give gift money and luggage money, this money is included)
, for example, to pay "personnel bribe money" (note, this is a piece of money) and so on. Of course, if there is a flood and drought disaster in the prefectures and counties under your jurisdiction, or if the city is under your jurisdiction, and the people are unable to pay taxes, you also need to use this private money to advance payment. It is closer to public expenses. In addition to public expenses, a reserve fund for each state, but the dominance power is in the hands of each envoy or the governor. Whether it is used on the right path depends on your personal conscience.
Finally, the money provided to the capital court was 150,000 jin.
As for rice, according to the ratio, if there are 200,000 shi, the central and local governments will share the amount of 1 to 7, which means that 25,000 shi of grain can be transported to the capital. With the price and loss, it is enough to pay 50,000 shi, and the remaining 150,000 shi are left in the Chiya Warehouse.
The proportion is less than 30% of the total tax amount of Xingyuanfu.
"Well, now, in addition to the two taxes, what additional income does my Xingyuan Mansion have?" Gao Yue turned the topic to Liu De's room.
Because under the two tax law, the proportion of tax sharing between the central and local governments is relatively fixed. As long as you can hand over the 150,000 jin and 50,000 shi of rice that are offered per year and guarantee the amount of the quota for the entrusted envoys and the Liuzhou province, the other financial "envy" are owned by the local government and have a relatively strong elasticity. Therefore, most governors and governors are still willing to devote their energy to the economy. This is also the reason why the central government's authority declined and the finances shrank in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the local governments flourished and active. Many towns that were also very famous for their descendants, and many of them emerged in this era.
Liu Deshi spread out the copywriting he carried with him and summarized it to Gao Yue that in addition to the "envious remnants" of Quanxingyuanfu, I made a preliminary statistics, which are about the following items:
Reduce and pay, increase consumption, and earn 40,000 jin from serving on behalf of others;
In addition to the unofficial business tax and the fixed quota of the Quanxing Yuan Mansion, the rent in Quanxing Yuan Mansion can also receive 90,000 guan.
If the official fields, the public fields, and the military farms are combined, you can get about 157,000 stones of grain. Now the average price of each pit of grain is about 70,000 cents, so if it is converted into money, it will be about 120,000 jin;
The capital interest of each department’s officials can get more than 5,000 guan.
In short, what Liu Deshi said about envy is mainly four items: one is the increase or decrease of taxes in the local area, the second is local commercial tax, the third is local land income, and the fourth is the interest income from local lending.
After hearing this, Gao Yue frowned slightly and said in public: "Shuobao and Servant Retention, and the additional cost of consuming and Servant Officials will be abolished! In addition, our Xingyuan Prefecture Army now has a land of Guangshan Heyan and Chiyaguan, and we should be able to obtain 150,000 stones of grain every year. Why is the income from official fields? The land of public fields and Servant fields is so small, and the total is only 7,000 stones?"
Liu De's room hurriedly replied that because the official land, public land and vocational land were all harvested by tenant farmers, while the tenant farmers had no enthusiasm for labor at all, and the land was famine from time to time, so the harvest was very poor.
"Then simply, except for the fields that were established as tea gardens, weaving workshops, mule workshops and herbal medicine gardens, all other official fields, public fields and vocational fields were first uniformly compiled by Brother Fangzhai, and then all of them were granted to the people of Xingyuan Prefecture as Yongye fields!"
