"The disaster will be serious..."

"After the reform, the fields were divided, and the people's ability to resist disasters should be able to enhance..."

"But... the people's ability to bear is absolutely limited, and under the influence of the disaster, taxes, money and grain income will definitely be affected..."

"In any case, sufficient food for disaster relief must be guaranteed..."

One thought after another flowed through the emperor's mind, and then the emperor took out a booklet from his arms, a book of house searches that could be called blood-made!

In the third year of Zhaowu, the major tax case was borrowed and the world was investigated. The income from the family search was recorded in this booklet!

More than 29 million silver taels!

More than 1,083,000 stones of grain!

His eyes were frozen on this shocking number for a long time, but the emperor was not happy at all.

This time, although the house search was a lot, it also played a great role in reform and stability in the world.

The family search was all handled by the Jinyiwei, and he also served in the Jinyiwei. He naturally had a clear understanding of the hidden rules among them.

The real number of household searches will definitely exceed the reported number by layer by layer.

Although this period was the hottest period when a large amount of overseas silver flowed into the Central Plains, such a terrifying wealth definitely caused a huge blow to the wealth among the people.

Of course, this is just a minor matter. It is not impossible to redistribute wealth under a tough method. After all, no matter how much money and grain in the treasury are, he will not pile up money and grain in the warehouse to make ashes, and in the end, he will still use it.

The most important thing is that no matter how many houses are searched, it will be a one-time income after all.

In fact, the total income from taxes, money and grain in Zhaowu in the third year was still in a state of insufficient income.

In the year of Zhaowu and the second year of Zhaowu, the battle to establish a country that spanned two years stabilized the country's destiny, but the financial emptiness caused could not be solved in one or two years.

Moreover, since he was in charge of military conquests, a complete reward system has been formulated.

From the early years of Chongzhen to the third year of Zhaowu, over the years, countless wars have been killed in wars, and more than 400,000 soldiers have died in battle.

According to the pension regulations, the relatives of the soldiers who had sacrificed to the court had to support were as many as 200,000 households.

And this is still a necessary hard expenditure every year!

In addition to Shanghai's amount of disaster relief money and food, as well as other hard expenditures from Daheng, as well as the huge financial deficit caused by the battle to establish the country...

And...it will only become more and more serious natural disasters...

Not to mention, there is also a change in the education system, and there are many things he wants to do.

Even if the reform is successful next year and tax revenues soar, it will still be extremely difficult to achieve a complete balance of income and expenditure, or even fiscal surplus.

Of course, if the huge amount of household search income is included, there will naturally be a huge surplus. However, household search income is just a one-time income. If you really want to achieve a virtuous cycle, you have to rely on tax income.

With many thoughts flowing, the emperor suddenly stood up, and his eyes instantly froze on the Jiangnan land on the map in the hall!

Jiangnan, very rich!

After he purged and slaughtered, Jiangnan, which received more than one million gentry and landlords, was even richer!

There is a lot of money and food for him to plunder!

Recover Jiangnan, thoroughly reform, sustainable taxes, money and food, more!

Also, after regaining Jiangnan and completely relaxing maritime trade, it will inevitably become the maritime trade tariff, which is the focus of taxation!

Only by recovering and pacifying the south of the Yangtze River and complementing the north and south can Daheng's finance form a virtuous cycle and support its various major strategies related to the foundation of the country's destiny.

"One...two years?"

The emperor murmured softly, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"The officials of the cabinet entered the palace."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and made a sound slowly.

"I'll go now."

Wang Wu received the order and left.

The emperor stood up and finally stopped before the Daheng Qiankun map.

“Disa relief…”

At this moment, the emperor's thoughts were not on how to pacify Jiangnan, but instead flew over the natural disasters over the years.

If the Little Ice Age does not fade, natural disasters are inevitable, and in this era, the ability to withstand natural disasters is extremely limited.

If there is a disaster, disaster relief is necessary.

But since ancient times, natural disasters have meant that countless people have been displaced and their families have been destroyed. But for some people, natural disasters are a feast, a feast of layers of greed.

No matter how strict the regulation is, this kind of corruption cannot be prohibited.

Just like in the third year of Zhaowu, such a huge disaster relief period, a considerable number of them entered the pockets of some people.

As the emperor, he didn't have much to do, so he could only supervise as strictly as possible, then find out and then kill the pig.

Since ancient times, the most effective way to provide disaster relief is to use labor for relief.

Call disaster victims and carry out engineering matters.

In a sense, it is not much different from the large infrastructure in later generations.

The major infrastructure in later generations was to stimulate domestic demand and revitalize the economy.

The labor-for-relief in this era can also be regarded as an ancient large infrastructure, but the ultimate goal is to make the food for disaster relief truly reach the victims in need.

"Build roads, build water conservancy, and manage rivers..."

The emperor murmured to himself that the big infrastructure things he wanted to do were actually the same thing as the work-for-relief work.

As long as these infrastructure matters are done in a systematic and organized manner, there is no doubt that they will greatly increase the people's ability to withstand natural disasters and will inevitably revitalize the whole place.

Moreover, with the emergence of cement, many impossible projects in the past can also be solved.

The fact that the levy of corvee labor and the actual implementation of the project and the actual implementation of relief are completely different concepts.

"Money and food..."

Finally, the emperor sighed lightly, but his eyes were frozen on the land of Jiangnan again.

Work-for-relief, which is the actual purpose of disaster relief, is so expensive. Infrastructure, which is the actual purpose of disaster relief, has become a coincidence, and the cost will inevitably be even greater.

With Daheng’s current finances, it is obviously impossible to support large-scale infrastructure, even if it is just a matter of conducting infrastructure in the disaster area, it cannot support it!

If it is really going to be implemented, it must be supported by the money and food obtained from the house search.

Although it is considered as a redistribution of wealth, it is taken from the people and used for the people.

But the search for houses is ultimately an unsustainable one-time income and will always be exhausted.

In the end, we still have to rely on a good financial system to support these major strategies.

There is no doubt that if this happens, the matter of pacifying Jiangnan must be moved on the agenda as soon as possible.

At this point, the emperor shook his head and chuckled, and circled around, and finally returned to the starting point.
Chapter completed!
