Chapter 472 Huaxia's Second Year Budget

"Uncle, it's great that you feel you are not capable enough and ask for a new person in charge. Is there anyone here who wants to be the person in charge of Beishan? You can recommend someone and tell us what you think of Beishan!" Hua Kai said.

When everyone heard that they could recommend someone for such an important position, many people were eager to try. Soon, more than half of the people raised their hands. Hua Kai glanced at Hua Xuan, who raised his hand the fastest, and signaled him to speak first.

"Your Majesty, everyone! Although I have only been to Beishan three times, I also feel that Beishan is lacking in many places.

The first is the transportation of Beishan. There is only one road from Bei to Nan that connects the mountain strongholds. This obviously affects the development of Beishan. The development cannot keep up with the information flow, which makes regional management more difficult.

The second is that there is not enough communication between the leaders of the mountain strongholds. Beishan's defense mainly relies on the Hua family's servants. Some patrol volunteers are converted from slaves. The education of slaves is much worse than that of other regions. The speed of converting civilians cannot keep up, and Huaxia's control here is not enough.

The third is that the construction direction is wrong. Every year, Beishan's trade is only slightly worse than Xiacheng, so the income is used in the construction of the three major urban areas. This is obviously wrong. After the road is built, the mountain strongholds will naturally develop rapidly. The Hua family is the dominant force in Beishan, but we don't have to bear all the responsibilities. As long as we grasp the two key points of the army and education, we can communicate with the mountain strongholds and delegate power.

The fourth is to consider the monsters and wild beasts. If I become the person in charge of Beishan, I will build several walls on the key mountain roads in the south of Beishan, so that most of the wild beasts can be isolated in the south of Beishan.

Then build more scattered villages and dig caves in the mountain to live, control the scale of the large mountain strongholds, and build more watchtowers to issue warnings when encountering danger, so that more people can enter the underground caves to hide, and then support them in dangerous moments according to the strength and needs of each mountain stronghold..."

Huaxuan has been with Huakai for more than ten years. He understands some of Huakai's urban development concepts, and he has his own special ideas according to the different situations in Beishan. Huakai nodded after listening.

"Who else wants to say? Today we can decide on the new person in charge of Beishan. Second uncle, you go back to Huacheng first to take charge of the Zongren Department instead of grandpa! Supervise and manage the actions of the Hua family's children, and punish those who violate the family rules. "Huakai saw that no one spoke after Huaxuan finished speaking. Huaxuan's ideas were much more detailed and complete than most people present. He is now 24 years old and can be sent out to be independent.

"Since no one has said anything, then Beishan will be handed over to Huaxuan in the future! Huaxuan, you will take office on March 15th, Xuechen, you will report to the State Council." Hua Kai took out a piece of paper from the table in front of him. There are two more important things today, which are related to the development of Huaxia this year.

"I have seen last year's financial report. The total figure is so huge that it is hard to believe. This year we will have more funds to continue to build the Huaxia country.

The total fiscal revenue of the Hua family was 2.71 million gold the year before last. Last year, the total revenue of the Hua family after the founding of the country reached 4.68 million gold, of which the taxes from shops, ranches and markets in the seven major districts were 90,000 gold, and the ranch cattle and sheep were sold with an income of 210,000 gold.

A total of 170,000 horses were sold with a total income of 390,000 gold, and the total income of animal husbandry reached 600,000 gold.

Agriculture includes 3.12 million shi of grain income from Xiacheng, Beishan and Huajiabao, 170,000 shi of spiritual rice from Huacheng, and various spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits are refined into elixirs. In addition to their own use, the final profit is 790,000 gold."

Every time Hua Kai said this, everyone took a deep breath. The annual income from elixirs and weapons accounted for about half of the total income of the Hua family.

"Next, let's talk about the workshop income. Last year, the workshop income increased by more than two times. [Weapon Shop] I use 90% of the weapons forged by me, and the remaining 10% are sold to Lu, Ordos Tribe, Ujumchin Tribe, Yan State and other places, with an income of 560,000 gold.

At the same time, more than 70,000 low-level weapons were sold last year, and more than 20,000 sets of armor. After deducting the cost, we can still have an income of 140,000 gold.

The sales volume of papermaking workshops, printing workshops, snowflake salt workshops, etc. declined last year, only 190,000 gold, which is more than 10,000 less than last year. This is caused by the impact of the Central Plains War.

The income of wool processing workshops this year is beyond my imagination. A total of more than 200,000 wool coats, more than 100,000 kilograms of wool yarn, and more than 60,000 other wool products were produced. The total income was 1.97 million gold and the profit was 1.01 million gold." When Hua Kai said this, many people were surprised and opened their mouths!

They knew that wool products made money, but they didn't expect to make so much money. A wool coat was sold for several golds, and it could be sold for more than 20 golds when sold to the grassland. This time, everything sold made money.

Hua Kai must have taken into account the cost of machine manufacturing, materials, labor, transportation, etc. for the 960,000 yuan cost last year. That is to say, a wool processing workshop with 10,000 people made a profit of 1 million gold last year, which is not much worse than the income of the entire Yan or Qi countries.

Hua Kai saw everyone's faces burst into laughter when they heard this, and he did not stop them. He waited until everyone was quiet before he continued to speak.

"Compared to wool processing, the most profitable business in Huaxia is still the bank.

Last year, the total deposit amount in Huaxia reached 8 million gold, and the total loan amount was 6.8 million gold. More than 80% of all the noble families in Huaxia had loans in Huaxia Bank. Last year, the bank made a profit of 1.28 million gold, including the pawnshops and markets established by the bank in various parts of the Central Plains.

There are still many places with a total income of 20,000 gold, so I won't go into details. This year, the three major courtyards have submitted their fiscal budgets for Huaxia for two years. I have seen that the total budget is 2.31 million gold, including pensions for soldiers killed in various legions and militia training.

The budget of 670,000 gold for the palace this year is enough. There are still 1.5 million gold. Everyone, please discuss and think where it should be used most appropriately!" Hua Kai said.

Half of the 4.68 million gold belongs to the national treasury, and the other half belongs to the Hua family's property, but this amount is too huge. The Hua family spends only 600,000 gold a year, and it would be a waste to keep the rest of the money like this.

The eyes of the three academy masters and the city masters lit up when they heard this. Hua Xuan hurriedly said, "Master, the construction of Beishan and the southern city wall..."

"If you have any plans, please send them to the State Council for review. The State Council will send the summary to me." Hua Kai said this and the matter was over.

"Last year, the issuance of Huabi was very effective. The country began issuing Huabi on October 10 last year. The printing factory has never stopped until now. Our banknotes have been used everywhere in Huaxia. Banknote manufacturing must be strictly reviewed and the scope of use must be expanded step by step according to market demand.

Huaxia Bank sent all the gold to Huacheng Treasury. In recent years, including all deposits in Huaxia Bank, Huacheng has more and more gold. Xue Chen, you should pay attention to the exchange of goods with various countries. There is no point in not using a gold coin with so much gold in the treasury. Last time, I wrote a book called "The Power of Capital" for your Finance Department. You should study it carefully. Huacheng's gold can be used as appropriate, or you can let each city borrow money from Huaxia Bank. It is meaningful to circulate money."

Hua Kai said that this is also because there is more and more gold in Huacheng Treasury. Every year, more and more people deposit money in Huaxia Bank, and since Huaxia issued currency, the growth rate of gold has been getting faster and faster.

The amount of gold and silver used to forge weapons in China is very small. Nowadays, the most used is in some workshop equipment. The gold is used to exchange goods with other countries, so that China's goods can enter the Central Plains countries better.

"Winter has passed. There are still many things that China needs to improve this year. The State Council will establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs this year, and diplomatic personnel will be arranged for various countries, especially the major countries in the Central Plains.

The Intelligence Department of the Military Affairs Council will build an intelligence network for the entire Central Plains. Fifth uncle, what is the situation of the Central Plains countries now? Did the intelligence personnel we arranged last year send back the news?" Hua Kai looked at Hua Zichen and said.

"The intelligence department has delivered intelligence from all major countries ten days ago. The impact of this wild beast outbreak on the Central Plains countries is much greater than we imagined.

More than 100 cities of Qin in Zhao and Wei were attacked by wild beasts, including four cities with more than 150,000 people, especially Handan City in Zhao. If the king had not rescued in time, the people of the whole city would have died. Less than 30% of the people of Zhao survived, and more than one million people in the whole Zhao died in the belly of wild beasts.

In addition, the population loss of Wei exceeded 400,000. Luoyang City of Zhou in the central part of the Central Plains was broken, and more than 100,000 people in the city died in the mouth of wild beasts. Cities in Han, Wei, Zheng and other countries were attacked. Many small cities have now become a wilderness and the territory of wild beasts. If Qin does not take back the city as soon as possible this year, this winter will be even more difficult.

The total population loss of Qin State exceeded 3 million, accounting for more than 20% of the total population of Qin State. In addition, many countries in the Central Plains have cities that have been destroyed. The entire country of Xiao State has been completely destroyed, and only King Xiao escaped.

The population loss of the entire Central Plains exceeded 5 million, accounting for more than 15% of the total population. I believe that in the next few years, all countries must first work hard to eliminate the wild beasts. "After Hua Zichen finished speaking, everyone's expression was extremely heavy.

The impact of the loss of 15% of the population will exceed everyone's imagination. If the human race cannot rise up and eliminate the wild beasts with all their strength, the survival pressure of everyone in the future will only increase.

"We don't know whether the world will be peaceful, we can only do our best.

The garrison corps must pay attention to the selection of elites from the militia and train them. The four garrison corps plus the Wild City Garrison Corps can establish a reserve corps. The number, scale, training costs and wages of the reserve corps should be determined according to the actual situation of their own areas.

This year, it is our important task to classify the militia and establish a strong combat reserve force in each city. The Military Affairs Council will divide all areas of Huaxia into different danger levels according to the number of wild beasts and the number of times monsters appear. For dangerous areas, the speed of clearing must be accelerated, and the on-duty personnel of the [Family Secret Space] must be reported as soon as monsters are encountered."
