After the ministers left, only a few ministers in the court were left, such as Guo Jia, Li Ru, Zhongshu Ling Su Xun, Fang Xuanling, Shizhong Jiang Shang, Du Ruhui, Shangshu Ling Guo Jia, and six Shangshu!

Luo Chen said lightly: "Zibu, has the treasury been full now?" ”

Zhang Zhao had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the treasury is full, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the weapons and armor are all ninety percent new, and now the Modao can fully meet the needs of the Modao Army!" ”

"The national treasury and local grain reserves, the official reserves are enough to deal with large-scale natural disasters, and the grain reserves of the commercial banks can support the use of the two counties for a year!"

Hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Luo Chen's face also showed a hint of consternation, and Su Xun frowned slightly: "Lord Zhang, this matter is a matter of state affairs, but there is no room for the slightest exaggeration!" ”

With a hint of a smile on his face, Zhang Zhao said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is handled by the lower officials personally, and the account books can be accessed at any time, and the local government treasury can be checked at any time, if there is a little falsehood, the minister is willing to take off the official hat!" ”

Seeing Zhang Zhao's sworn appearance, a smile appeared on Luo Chen's face, "Yes, I also know a thing or two about this matter!" ”

"Zibu! After going back, let people send all kinds of account books to the Zhongshu Province for acceptance! ”

"Now report to your lordships on the revenue of the treasury!"

"No!"

As soon as Zhang Zhao heard Luo Chen mention the treasury, a smile appeared on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, as far as this year is concerned, the tax revenue of my Great Xia mainly comes from three main bodies, one is agricultural tax, the second is commercial tax, and the third is tariff!" ”

"The proportion of agricultural tax is now 50 percent, the proportion of commercial tax is 20 percent, and the proportion of tariff is 10 percent!"

Hearing Zhang Zhao's report, many officials showed a trace of shock on their faces, and Jiang Shang couldn't help but ask: "Can commercial taxes and customs duties reach 30%?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Zhao's face: "Naturally! ”

"In the past three years, the biggest change in my Daxia is not infrastructure, but business!"

"Now my Daxia Commercial Bank, the world is downstairs, and the Daxia wine store has opened in various cities of Daxia, and even the salt, wine, paper, and printed books have begun to go abroad and occupy a lot of foreign markets!"

"The commercial tax created has already accounted for thirty percent of the total tax revenue, and the most important thing is that my Great Xia's treasury revenue is not just a tax!"

As soon as Zhang Zhao's words fell, there was one more possibility in the minds of the ministers, and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces!

"It's hard to ......"

"Not bad!" Zhang Zhao's face was already full of smiles at the moment, and it would not be an exaggeration to even call it a spring breeze!

"Nowadays, the bulk of the treasury revenue of our dynasty is not taxes, taxes account for forty-five percent of the total revenue, and the income of the Daxia Commercial Bank occupies fifty-one percent of the treasury revenue, and there are also some land sales, zero and zero total, and the treasury revenue announced to the DPRK three years ago was 7.2 million taels!"

"Actually, it's more than 12.5 million taels!"

"As for this year, the public announcement is 9.7 million taels, but in fact, there is a big difference!"

"Shhh

Hearing Zhang Zhao tell the truth, the household department actually concealed the real treasury revenue data!

Several ministers of the DPRK and China all glanced at each other, and Su Xun couldn't help but ask: "Lord Zhang, what is the total income of the treasury this year?" ”

Zhang Zhao looked at Luo Chen, and after seeing him nod, he spit out a few words!

"The total revenue of the treasury this year is ...... Three thousand, five hundred and fifty thousand taels! ”

"Shhh

"Shhh

"Shhh

In the entire hall, there was only the sound of gasping and cooling, and all the Chinese martial artists were so shocked that their mouths grew into an O-shape, and they couldn't speak for a long time!

The smile on Luo Chen's face became thicker, and he said softly: "Everyone, this matter can be mentioned in the palace, and it must not be spread!" ”

Hearing Luo Chen's voice, the ministers came back to their senses, but Su Xun still didn't come back to his senses completely, and finally muttered to himself: "How is it possible?" ”

"How is this possible?"

"You must know that the tax revenue in the year of His Majesty's abdication was only six million taels, and now the annual treasury income of Great Xia is ...... Thirty million taels? ”

"I'm afraid Daqin is only about 10 million taels, right?"

After the shock, several old men laughed excitedly!

"Hahaha! It's unexpected! ”

"Hahahaha!"

"I didn't expect my Great Xia to have today's prosperity, and the old man died without regrets!"

Looking at the excited looks of the ministers, Luo Chen's eyes were full of smiles, and he said softly: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy!" ”

Zhang Zhao also showed a wry smile on his face, and said softly: "Everyone! ”

"Three years ago, I built three academies and one hall in Great Xia, more than 1,100 academies, martial arts academies, hospitals, and libraries in Great Xia, spending a total of more than 7.5 million taels of silver to dig canals, and three years ago I raised 10 million taels of money through national debts, and now it is only three years, and more than 6 million taels have been used!"

"With Chang'an as the center, the road was repaired, and in three years, a total of 936 miles of roads were opened, costing 1.2 million taels ......."

"With some military spending, there are only more than 40 million taels left in the treasury now!"

Hearing the words "it's not", the ministers were all stunned, and the corners of their mouths twitched!

These three words really speak to the essence in one sentence, and they are simply a stroke of genius!

You must know that in the more than 100 years since the founding of Great Xia, how could the treasury have ever been so full?

Luo Chen's fingers tapped on the dragon case, and said softly: "Lin Chao! ”

"The old minister is here!"

Luo Chen smiled lightly: "What is the current situation of Chang'an Institute of Technology?" ”

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, there are now more than 300 students in the Chang'an Institute of Technology!" ”

Luo Chen bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "From today onwards, anyone who has independent innovation and invents something that benefits the country and the people will be rewarded in a big way, and even an official can be added to the knighthood!" ”

"No!"

Lin Chao's eyes were full of joy, and in this way, the status of their craftsmen was greatly improved!

Xu Chang, the secretary of the military department, also said softly: "Your Majesty, now the first batch of students of the Great Xia Martial Academy can also start to graduate, I don't know ......."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Okay! ”

"Since this is the case, let's first have an assessment, from the art of war, force, to the theoretical knowledge of the book of war, come to a comprehensive assessment, and those with excellent grades can be centurions!"

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Xu Chang was also overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Luo Chen said leisurely: "The first batch of students of this martial arts academy were brought out by Old Man Zhao, and there are many generals who have gone to teach, so it can be said that they are the head of a hundred schools!" ”

"I hope I won't be disappointed!"

Xu Chang's eyes were shining, his face was full of confidence, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not let you down!"
