When everyone returned to the cabin, Zhao Bing first asked about the situation in Qiongzhou and answered it one by one.Ww    W.

CN?21??After receiving the imperial edict from the relocation of Qiong, they immediately began to prepare for the welcome. Deng Guangjian arrived first and reported the details and made arrangements for everything. The empress dowager had moved into the palace in the palace, and the officials temporarily lived in various departments and arranged for treatment. All departments also entered the military camps near Qiongzhou, waiting for further resettlement. The people who followed the army also sent out various prefectures and counties, and everything was stable and there were no major mistakes.

He also said that according to His Majesty's deployment before his departure, Qiongzhou has now reclaimed 300,000 mu of wasteland, resettled more than 20,000 refugees, producing about 600,000 stones of grain per quarter and 600,000 stone in two quarters. This year, not only has the problem of food shortage among the military and civilians on the island, but it has a slight surplus. In addition, the mining of iron ore has also entered a large-scale mining stage. Last year, a total of 200,000 kilograms of pig iron were smelted, half of which were used for people's livelihood and half for military supplies. In addition, the roads around the island were widened, and two carriages could be used in parallel. The inn along the way had been put into use to receive merchants and travelers and officials.

In addition, last year, the two tax revenue totaled 200,000 guan, and the commercial tax was about 100,000 guan, and the tariff increased by 150,000 guan. However, this is the income after the implementation of preferential policies. If the full amount is collected, it should be doubled. Therefore, the commercial tax increased significantly, while the tariff growth rate was not large. This year, the monsoon has just begun, and merchant ships have already arrived at the port, and the income is expected to be better than last year.

"It should be noted that how much does Qiongzhou spend every year?" 6 Xiufu knew that Qiongzhou had always been poor. Not only did it require the imperial court to subsidize annually, but now it can be self-sufficient in food and a slight surplus. The tax revenue has also increased a lot, but it is only less than 500,000 jin. According to his estimate, it is far from enough to maintain the operation of the General Administration and the yamen at all levels in Qiongzhou. They also opened iron ore and built post roads. This is something that Qiongzhou has never seen in the past thousand years of joining the Central Plains. But where did the money consumed come from? This made him very curious.

"The Qiongzhou Water Infantry Army has 70,000 troops, and the annual military expenditure is more than 2 million chunks!" Ying Jieyan replied.

"Oh, the military expenditure of Qiongzhou is so high!" 6 Xiufu said in surprise. According to common sense, the average raising soldiers of the imperial court is about 100 stagnant of copper coins per person, while the Qiongzhou army is three times the average, which has never reached this amount when the Song Dynasty was at its peak.

"The 6th Minister also knows that when His Majesty led his troops to Qiongzhou to open the prefecture, there were only 100 broken ships, and the entire army had only 100 sets of iron armor, and not enough swords and guns to be sold for one piece. After arriving in Qiong, everything needed to be rebuilt, and the warships cost a huge amount of money. Moreover, there were wars in Qiongzhou, and the military troops were hard to train. Therefore, in addition to salary, the military capital was consumed a little more." Ying Jieyan explained.

"What about the public expenses of the Qiongzhou yamen?" 6 Xiufu nodded and asked again. He had seen His Majesty's protective equipment with his own eyes, and he knew his majesty's miserable appearance when Jiazi left. It was understandable if the military expenses were higher.

"The public expenses of each yamen are about 200,000 guan, which also includes the salary for rural officials and the salary for officials at all levels." Ying Jieyan replied.

"It should be noted that the tax in Qiongzhou is less than 500,000 jin, and the difference is huge. Moreover, the public expenses of yamen at all levels have to be paid. The construction of coastal defense and maintaining post roads are expensive, so how can we make up for the shortcomings?" 6 Xiufu asked.

"Except for the seizure of the battle, they are all from Your Majesty's inner palace!" Ying Jieyan replied simply.

"Then..." 6 Xiufu wanted to ask where His Majesty's money came from, but he immediately realized that the court had a law, and no one was allowed to interfere with the emperor's family. If the insiders leaked, they would beheaded, so they quickly stopped, but the look at His Majesty was wrong. He thought that the little emperor was just thinking about the salt farm, but he didn't expect that he was a boy from Shancai. He had already made money in Qiongzhou. He could obviously make millions of coins in this barren land of Qiongzhou, but he still had to share his wealth with himself. This was not only digging a pit, but simply cheating people.

"Haha, Your Majesty's family has almost been defeated, so I will have to worry about you in the future!" Yingjieyanren was a mature man. When he saw His Majesty sitting there, gnawing his fingers and talking to Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu, Liu Xiufu understood that he dared not speak out. His good disciple must have plotted against him again, so he quickly called him.

"6 Someone first arrived in Qiongzhou and had to rely on the advice and tips for what he should do!" No matter how stupid Xiufu was, he knew that the master and apprentice were in one's mind. He clearly had to cover up his Majesty again. He would never be cheated by them anymore, and he would never take on this matter. He smiled bitterly and bowed.

"The official does not have the ability to make money, and he has to ask His Majesty to find a way!" In fact, even Ying Jieyan could not know all the resources of the little emperor. He calculated that he had no money, but when he was short of money, his Majesty either moved money from the General Office or the Mansion, but he was sure that the money was definitely not easy to come by, otherwise he would not have been sneaky.

"Your Majesty gave me an idea then, but if you want to take effect, it will be over the New Year. The difficulties in front of you will be difficult!" 6 Hideo said whispered.

"Your Majesty, if my subordinates were able to kill Zhang Hongfan, the armor would fall into the hands of the Sa family!" At this moment, Zhao Mengjin suddenly said loudly, and everyone looked over and saw him looking at the golden armor on Ni Liang's body enviously.

"Brave, Your Majesty Zhang Hongfan said he was dead in a few words. Do you have that ability? This is what I took off from Zhang Hongzheng, but it was given to him by the Tartar Head Kublai Khan." Ni Liang curled his lips, and he was rare to show off.

"Your Majesty, you are too partial. Liu Shen gave him his sword, and Hongfan's armor was also given to him, but the Sa family has not yet used the knife." Zhao Mengjin trembled and complained.

"It's too rude!" 6 Xiufu frowned when he saw Zhao Mengjin talking in front of His Majesty.

"Haha, it's okay, they are all His Majesty's beloved generals and warriors. They have not spoken for a long time, so they are a little casual." Ying Jieyan waved his hand and said.

"Do you think so too?" The two of them looked at the little emperor and didn't think it was. Instead, they pointed at Liu Zhu and asked.

"Of course! It's just that Your Majesty refuses to let his subordinates fight, otherwise..." Liu Zhu replied immediately, his eyes looking at Ni Liang were as envious and jealous as he hated.

"Look at your prospects, wait for me to go back and see how your soldiers are practicing. If you practice well, I will take you with you for a fortune. Not to mention that this is just a gilded armor. Then, let that boy Zhou Yi creates a red gold dressing for you alone, I'm afraid you won't have the ability!" Zhao Bing said with a lip curl.
