Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 528 Budget at the beginning of the year, the Ming Dynasty at full power!
For the group of capitalists.

No matter how bad they are, they are always much better than the feudal landlords.

Zhang Haogu still needs to use these people.

They have to be stared at and severely punished. If one is disobedient, they will be punished to death.

If you don't pay taxes, you will be fined [-]% of your annual turnover.

Abusing workers, how you abused workers, you will abuse them back.

Bribe officials, bankrupt.

Even if it was his own father who was punished by Zhang Haogu to doubt whether the doll was his own, how could this guy be so cruel to his family?
Later, Zhang Shouchu understood that his precious son was not cruel to himself, but to everyone.

Logically speaking, Zhang Haogu's means should be to make the business environment in the north very bad, but in fact, this is absolutely not the case. The business environment in the north is unexpectedly good.

Because everything has rules and everything has regulations.

As long as you do things in accordance with the laws formulated by Zhang Haogu, everything is OK. It will not be said that someone is eyeing your family property and wants you to have a few shares, which does not exist.

What's yours is yours, and pay taxes honestly.

If an official dares to ask for bribes, you can keep the evidence and report it directly, and you can see if the court can handle it, and then it's over.

Since the beginning of the New Deal, Zhang Haogu has successively dealt with a large number of officials, as well as political servants. It should be said that the more he targets Zhang Haogu, the political servant, the more severe the attack.

One's own internal team is absolutely not allowed to have any problems.

More than 4000 billion Daming banknotes
To be honest, Lu Xiangsheng is really numb now.

This is exchanged for the previous silver. It is unimaginable that the imperial court's annual tax revenue is more than 4000 million taels of silver. How rich must this be?
Even Zhang Juzheng couldn't guarantee that he could have more than 4000 million taels of silver in tax revenue a year.

In the past, the six ministries of the court could collect taxes, which led to the confusion of the court's bills. However, since Zhang Haogu came, the power of tax collection by the six ministries was uniformly handed over to the Ministry of Households.

Inside the Ministry of Households, there are Statistics Department, Taxation Department, Commerce Department, and Foreign Trade Department. After being set up by Zhang Haogu, Damin's finances immediately improved a lot.

Even now, Ming Dynasty still has silver inflows all the time, and, with the expansion of its appearance, silver has begun to depreciate.

It was originally a Daming banknote worth 1000 yuan for one tael of silver.

But now one tael of silver is at most 800 yuan worth of Daming Treasure Banknotes.

The speed of this depreciation is a bit fast, but it is also within Zhang Haogu's expectation. Now the imperial court still needs to gradually abandon the silver standard.

Changed to credit standard.According to this standard system, people can exchange one paper currency for another paper currency, but not for precious metals.

Under the gold standard or silver standard, a country's money supply depends on its precious metal stock, which in turn depends on the exploration and mining of precious metals, so the money supply cannot meet the needs of economic changes and development.

But without the exchange standard, the government can determine the money supply.Therefore, not honoring the standard system is more conducive to the government's regulation of the economy.

The current Daming banknotes can be used to buy food, salt, and clothes, and with enough convenience, it has gradually become the currency recognized by the vast majority of Ming people.

The real pain is some landlords. In the past, everyone stored up their silver, which is still quite valuable. But now, this silver has gradually become less valuable.

There are fewer and fewer things that can be exchanged for silver. Compared with the Daming banknotes, the depreciation of silver is too fast.

If you want to preserve the value, you can directly exchange the silver for treasure notes.

Love or not!

Nowadays, it is really difficult to counterfeit this Daming banknote, and the credit of the currency is still very strong. Zhang Haogu is not in a hurry, take his time, and sooner or later the silver standard will be abolished slowly.

after new year's eve

Zhou Jinyong met Zhu Youxiao again.

This time, Zhou Jinyong explained all his plans to build Henan.

To put it simply, Zhou Jinyong wanted money. At the same time, Zhou Jinyong still planned to build several bridges in Henan and completely repair the roads in Henan.

This is basically impossible due to Henan's tax revenue.

You must speak to the court.

Zhou Jinyong is also a lion with a big mouth, and the mouth is 500 billion. On the one hand, it is to build roads, and on the other hand, it is to support some industries.

Now under the management of Zhang Haogu, the taxation of the imperial court and the local government is basically divided into blocks.

80.00% of the tax revenue belongs to the imperial court, and the remaining 80.00% is reserved for the local government. After all, the local government also needs to develop. As for the [-]% of the tax collected by the imperial court, it must be invested from a macro perspective.

At the same time, it is still necessary to reserve a part as a spare.

As soon as Zhou Jinyong opened his mouth, it was one-eighth of the imperial court's tax revenue.

Obviously, this difficulty is a bit big.

This year, the imperial court's taxation is full of money. On the one hand, Zhang Haogu built a shipyard in Lushun to train the Daming Navy. On the other hand, he has to transfuse blood to Shaanxi. It costs a lot of money.

In particular, it is necessary to control the Yellow River. If the Yellow River does not have any accidents, then Henan and Shandong will be affected. These two basically do not have to bear the flood disaster.

In addition, Zhang Haogu also has a plan to repair the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so that the water transport of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can not only transport food, but also transport other goods. Build a pier.

The goods to be transported can be placed in a container. Although it is very different from later generations, it must at least be more flexible. Naturally, this water transportation is also the work of the imperial court, which can be regarded as adding new income to the imperial court.

The money earned by the court cannot be saved, it must be spent and invested.

Every year the court budget is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhang Haogu, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, never thought of asking the court to save money, and the money from the court's taxation was quickly invested in infrastructure construction, and it was taken from the people and returned to the people.

And the infrastructure construction in Shandong and Jingshi has not stopped yet. The budget for this thing will never be enough, and the money will always be added.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao's steam pump has already confirmed its high practical value, and it is not expected to be used on the loom immediately, but the function of pumping water alone is enough.

It costs money everywhere.

Once industrialization starts, it cannot be stopped.

Zhou Jinyong still wants money, and if he wants to incorporate Henan into this big economic circle, infrastructure construction is naturally indispensable.

Faced with Zhou Jinyong's request, Zhang Haogu replied without thinking, "500 billion is impossible, and the imperial court cannot allocate funds to you, but you can take a loan and use the entire Henan tax as collateral. Continue to borrow, lend you 500 billion, calculate the interest, count your 30 years, and repay it to the bank at that time!"
