"In addition to the Imperial Central Bank, the Construction Bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the Agricultural Bank have also been established, and these classified banks have their own functions and are responsible for providing loans to different industries.

Yang Chengye turned a page of the report and continued: "As for the industrial aspect, under the supervision of the lower officials, now the major provinces are carrying out vigorous industrial construction, at present, each Shangzhou has set up its own large-scale industrial zone, at the same time in Zhongzhou, Xiazhou is also building factories, the number of factories in the country has doubled, it can be said that the growth is gratifying, as for the specific number of factories too much, Xiaguan has been compiled into the attached table. “

Xiao Ming was flipping through Yang Chengye's report, and when he heard this, he turned to the end, and the more than thirty pages of paper on it really recorded the name, type, and scale of each factory in the empire.

Flipping through the general situation, Xiao Ming showed a hint of a smile, and before he knew it, the industrial capacity of the empire had been fully increased.

Only in Qingzhou during this period of time, there are many professional machinery factories established, such as a factory specializing in the production of steam locomotives, a bearing factory for the production of bearings, a bicycle factory for the production of bicycles and tricycles, and a motor factory for the production of electric motors.

And after these factories appeared in Qingzhou, they would soon spread to other prosperous states and counties.

After talking about the construction of the factory, Yang Chengye reported on the problems of commercial construction, and it took half an hour to share all of them.

At the end of Yang Chengye's report, Xiao Ming successively asked Song Changping, Chen Qi, Lin Wentao, Lu Tong, and He Dong to report on the problems in their respective fields.

Needless to say, internal combustion engines, automobiles, telephones, and telegraphs are their achievements, and although Lutong is low-key this year, he has done a lot of things, such as petroleum refining, oxygen, nitrogen purification, and the production of various basic chemicals.

These things may seem inconspicuous, but they are important for the development of all walks of life.

As for Song Changping and Chen Qi, two arms experts, they are upgrading the Han-style rifle and the current Guards artillery, and specific samples will be available tomorrow.

After inquiring about science and technology, Xiao Ming finally looked at Pang Yukun and asked him to have a general summary of all aspects of the empire, and the annual political court meeting was over.

"Your Majesty, according to statistics, this year's imperial industrial and commercial tax has a total income of 60 million gold dragons, and the agricultural tax is 40 million gold dragons, and the commercial tax exceeds the agricultural tax in terms of taxation, and the industrial and commercial tax has now become the main body of the imperial tax revenue, and in the industrial and commercial tax, the tax revenue of government-run factories and chambers of commerce accounts for sixty percent, which is the main source of commercial tax."

After a pause, Pang Yukun said proudly: "In addition to paying taxes, the profits paid by the government-run factories this year are also very considerable, reaching 120 million gold dragons, the profits handed over by the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce are 280 million, and the empire has 90 million gold dragons in terms of this year's war gains, and these revenues mainly come from the indemnities and booty in the occupied areas. “

Among all the reports at the end of the year, Xiao Ming's favorite thing to listen to was Pang Yukun's report, because at this moment he could clearly know the financial situation of the empire this year.

Speaking about the tax situation, Pang Yukun continued: "Up to now, the denomination of gold dragons issued by the central bank of the empire has reached 9 billion, including paper money and gold coins. ”

Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, from this number he could judge that the empire's taxes were normal.

"So the empire's GDP has increased by about three billion gold dragons this year, right?" Xiao Ming asked.

Pang Yukun was taken aback, and he said, "How did the emperor know? “

Smiling lightly, Xiao Ming said: "The empire's tax system was formulated by me, and basically the total amount of tax revenue will be six percent of the annual gross domestic product, and I still know this in my heart." “

Pang Yukun was shocked, he was already looking up at Xiao Ming, but he found that the more he came into contact, the more he couldn't surpass the empire in front of him, he said, "The emperor is sage." ”

He then said: "Compared with last year, the popularity of electric power factories has greatly increased the production capacity of factories, which is why there are so many taxes this year, and under the emperor's rule, the people of the empire are getting richer day by day, although the empire has opened up a lot of markets overseas, but most of the goods produced by the empire are still laughed at at home." ”

"The empire's market is the biggest cake, there is no doubt about this, but at the current growth rate of the empire's industry, within three years, the domestic market will be saturated, and then the overseas market will be very important." Xiao Ming said.

As soon as his words fell, Li Kaiyuan stood up at this time, and he said: "Your Majesty, judging from the experience of doing business overseas during this period of time, even the combined market in other parts of the world may only be equal to the empire, their consumption power is too poor, and they can't afford to buy the empire's goods at all, and in the long run, the empire's industry will inevitably encounter bottlenecks." ”

"You're pretty accurate." Xiao Ming said lightly that in this era, the number of people in the world is limited.

And most of the population is in a state of self-sufficiency, they have no demand for many industrial goods at all, such as the Japanese country, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Africa and other places will not buy the empire's bicycles, even in Europe, not everyone can afford to buy them.

If you want people in these places to buy bicycles, you have to have a wealthy class in the place, and at the same time, these people have to have a demand to buy bicycles.

To achieve this, cultural penetration is required, so that these regions are fashioned in fashion with the fashion of the Chinese Empire, in short, to establish the cultural influence of the empire.

"If you want to break this cage, you can only rely on the empire itself, other countries have no demand, we create this demand, they can't afford it, we let them afford it, and then the empire's colonial strategy has to plunder a little more elegant."

"Urbane." All the ministers looked at Xiao Ming.

Standing up from the dragon chair, he said: "Colonization is not only one way to use force, cultural colonization, economic colonization are colonization, and the empire can now completely transfer polluting industries overseas, and at the same time establish its own sphere of influence by exporting culture." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the gray sky of Qingzhou, the industry in the era of the steam engine needed to burn a lot of coal, which made the green mountains and green waters of Qingzhou go forever.

But there is no way to do it, because this is the price of industrialization, but now that the colonies in Nanyang are under his control, he can completely transfer some heavily polluting manufacturing there.
