Indeed, the Ming Dynasty was almost scattered at this time.

This failure happened when it shouldn't have happened. To put it bluntly, these generals on the Liaodong battlefield began to raise the enemy and respect themselves.

There is no battlefield.

There is an ATM that goes up and down.

The court threw six million to Liaodong every year. Through the efforts of the entire military and political system, it was finally distributed to the pockets of civil and military officials from all over the country. They did not let Liaodong decay, but it would not be possible that the wild boar skin would no longer be involved in Liaodong, because the ATM would not be able to maintain it.

If the wild boar skin is no longer invasive to Liaodong, then what should we do with these 200,000 troops?

Six million a year.

The normal tax revenue of the imperial court has not been so much for a year. In recent years, Liao pay was initially filled with the gap. Later, Yang Xin insisted that Liao pay was exempted, and then it turned into a house search, bail, new tariffs and stamp duty, etc. Why did Yang Xin do so much, and those officials shouted so much, but in the end they rarely took practical actions? It was because they knew that Yang Xin had to make money in their pockets. This was to make money for them. Why did they stop it if they did this?

It is indeed the gentry who suffers the losses, but the officials who make the profits.

The process of transferring Yang Xin's money to the officials' pockets depends on the Liaodong battlefield. Of course, they must carefully protect this ATM, or carefully protect the wild boar skin. The wild boar skin must be made. Only when the wild boar skin is made can the court ensure that the military expenditure of the imperial court will not be reduced. Even if he fought hard, the atmosphere would be more tense and could make more military expenditures, so that everyone can make more money. As for the soldiers and the people who were killed and injured in Liaodong, this is not within the scope of the consideration of the Lords.

There was no shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty.

Zu Dashou earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year after his empty salary?

Zu Dashou falsely reported thousands of deaths and gained more pensions?

Just turn a blind eye to this.

Anyway, they are indispensable. Zu Dashou earned 300,000 yuan, and he may have to send 200,000 yuan to the hands of a group of large and small borers inside and outside the palace.

fight?

That's a business.

But what can Yang Xin do?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my army to attack Jiannu's nest!"

Yang Xin, who returned to the capital, said.

"Don't worry about this for now. The left and right are just careless for a moment. Fortunately, the losses are not big. It's just that less than 20,000 troops were lost. The two states of Haigai were finally recaptured."

Jiu Qiansui said with a smile.

Then it was not recaptured. The wild boar skin was escorted with more than 20,000 prisoners, and brought more than 100,000 stones of grain, countless livestock, gold, silver and cloth, and so on. If Shen Yourong hadn't been smart enough to take away the people in the south and burned tens of thousands of stones of grain from Xiong Yue City in a fire, and the wild fire he lit had made the withdrawal of the wild boar skin a very embarrassing, so that many captured people took the opportunity to escape. The wild boar skin gained even more this time, and even so, it would have brought Jiannu back blood all at once.

"Zhongxian is right. You don't have to worry about these small things. However, my brother's own marriage needs to be resolved. The Taihuang Concubine has personally served as a matchmaker for me. Your marriage with Miss Fang's family should be completed."

Apocalypse said with a smile.

At this time, the customs affairs were completely resolved.

The gentry in Guangzhou, Zhangquan, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Songjiang and other places have quickly formed their own businesses and actively asked to contract customs. The tax package price of Guangzhou Customs has increased to 500,000 yuan. After all, Yang Xin used 400,000 yuan to grab it, and he must be higher than him if he wanted to grab it. The gentry in Guangzhou, led by Liang, Huang and other companies, jointly invested and established a business. It contracted Guangdong Customs for 500,000 taels a year for three years, and bid for another three years later, but basically there would be no one else. It is estimated that Governor Yang would go to bid.

This depends on how much you can charge each year.

The tax rate set by Yang Xin was overturned, but there was a mandatory reservation.

It is to reduce and exempt ship taxes based on the amount of rice carried. This is mandatory. All customs are the same. Otherwise, Governor Yang would cover taxes one by one.

Other customs are priced at the original price.

In this way, Jiu Qiansui's hands suddenly increased the customs tax of 500,000 yuan. With the 400,000 yuan Yang Xin's tax payment this year and the 50,000 yuan of the two northern customs, the Ming Dynasty's customs revenue this year was 950,000 yuan.

It has surged nearly ten times compared to the past.

Moreover, Yang Xin brought back two million, and the Jinyiwei also received a lot of bail. Most of the tax supervisors who went out were completed according to the task amount. Although it caused the local officials to live in vain and it was said that there was a magistrate who was forced to death, the money was really recovered. In addition, the newly added stamp duty, this thing has been charged 300,000 so far in the first year, which is still a large part of the place that has not started. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty's business can be seen. In short, together with the Ministry of Revenue received the Jiejing tax and these messy things, the Ming Dynasty's Taicang, the inner treasury, and the emperor's small treasury, the final income this year is likely to reach 12 million.

It can be said to be like a miracle!

Including the retained areas, the total revenue is expected to exceed 25 million.

Before Yang Xin's hungry wolf appeared, the total of 20 million stones of rice and 4 million stones of wheat in the 48th year of Wanli was collected in total in the whole year, plus some cloth.

Of course, the part is actually silver discount, but the price of silver discounts varies in different places. Most of the southern Zhili is only two cents per stone, even if the expensive Shanxi is only six cents. In short, the silver discount rules are very chaotic. Generally, the 24 million stones and hundreds of thousands of pieces of cloth will be counted as 12 million after the silver discount. This part is the core of the Greater New Year's income, but some places retain part of the Jiejing, and the proportions are different in different places, roughly half of the family, but Jiejing does not mean sending it to the capital.

Jie Jing means that the Ministry of Revenue is under the control of the Ministry of Revenue.

Therefore, those who give to the royal family and local garrisons, these messy expenses that require the Ministry of Revenue are usually paid on the spot.

The former is a big piece. King Jingjiang went to Guangzhou to ask for silver because the taxes in Jiejing in Guangxi were not enough to support his thousands of pigs. In addition to Guangdong's need to allocate part of the taxes in Jiejing, Huguang also had to give him some every year, and these royal families consumed too much.

What is really given to the capital is the royal expenses of gold and silver, fixed one million yuan, and the transport of rice in a canal depends on the transportation capacity in a year. The normal year is four million stones.

The rest is commercial taxation and the like.

The core part is salt tax, 1.4 million, other messy commercial taxes plus Liao pay. In the 48th year of Wanli, a total of 5.8 million were collected, mainly Liao pay.

The military expenses paid for Liaodong are paid here.

More than 6 million a year, if you don’t have enough, find another way.

For example, add Liao tribute.

After all, the canal transportation is supplied to the capital city, and there are still a bunch of princes and ministers waiting to pay wages. The wages of the capital city officials are spent from this part of their income. In addition, military rations in Jizhen, Shanhaiguan and other places, and vassal kings who have not yet obtained vassals in Beijing are also paid out from these four million.

The emperor's gold, flowers and silver were supported by the inner court, and Yang Xin and other military generals in Beijing actually received their salary from gold, flowers and silver.

This part is not the military expenses.

But whether it is the actual silver or the direct cash collection, the total amount is 20 million in the 48th year of Wanli. Although the silver discount law in various places cannot reach 5 cents, most of them are actually less than 4 cents, there are other messes in the imperial income. Currently, the taxes are in parallel with silver, so many strange taxes collected in the past were levied, such as more than 100,000 kilograms of cotton, but these can’t even cost a few silver. The fodder for horses is 20 million bunches, how many silver can be discounted?

After Yang Xin abolished the biggest miscellaneous tax, the Liao salary, the imperial court's annual income increased by 5 million taels.

It's just like a miracle.

Although the two million he brought was a windfall, it was also within the tax system. Originally, the imperial court's annual income included fines and confiscations, which obviously belonged to fines and confiscations.

What’s important is that he has been fined these every year for the past two years.

Since the succession of the throne of the Tianqi, Governor Yang has never been fined less than three million every year.

Can be called the king of confiscation.

"Why do you want the family to be the one who has not yet been destroyed?"

The King of Confiscation said righteously.

"Even if my brother wants to go straight to Jiannu's nest, I don't have to hurry. It's winter. I also said that it's not advisable to use troops in Liaodong in winter. Let's talk about it later. I will send my brother to the war in the beginning of spring next year. Now I'll get married first."

Apocalypse said.

Since this is the case, Governor Yang will not be able to say anything else.

Although he is not anxious about getting married...

He had been rolling in bed for so long, and he really had nothing to worry about. If he hadn't been knowledgeable, he would have seen the children at this time, but this was indeed a big deal.

"There is another thing. Gao Di still cannot stay in Liaodong. At present, the Liaodong army not only did not grow but retreated compared to Xiong Tingbi's time, which means that Gao Di, the Liaodong governor, is not competent."

Yang Xin said.

"He was careless for a moment."

Jiu Qiansui said with a smile.

"Since my brother said it would be changed, Xiong Tingbi is nothing. He should indeed be replaced after taking over such a defeat in a year, but who is the intention of replacing him?"

Apocalypse said.

Jiu Qiansui smiled a little embarrassedly.

"How about Sun Chuanting? He is already a doctor in the Ministry of War. He will be the right assistant minister. He just happened to use the right assistant minister to manage Liaodong and then add him to the assistant censor. This is enough."

Yang Xin said.

"Accurate, I also think this person has some skills."

Apocalypse said.

In this way, Yang Xin finally achieved his long-cherished wish and put Sun Chuanting in the position of Liaodong governor.

Although Sun Chuanting had no record of fighting against Jiannu in history, in fact, he mainly dealt with those rebels in the pass, his cunning and decisive character was still very appreciated by Governor Yang. Now there is nothing wrong in Liaodong. What he needs is a person who dares to kill. First clear the legacy of Gao Di's indulgence under his command, and then Governor Yang will go directly to Hetuala in the spring of next year.

Since these bastards have raised their own scoundrels, they will not be able to continue to raise them. The next disaster is coming, and they cannot continue to fill in the bottomless pit of Liaodong like this. They must reduce the annual military expenditure of six million yuan.
Chapter completed!
