Time flew by, and the day before the New Year came in a blink of an eye. Su Yu was standing on the city wall wearing a thick coat, looking down at the entire Yanjing City, which was covered with heavy snow.
Nowadays, Yanjing has been divided into thirteen districts, and construction has begun. There are more than 90,000 construction workers alone, and there are also auxiliary construction workers and porters, about 400,000, who are working hard to build Yanjing.
Su Yu only demolished part of the outer city wall, because it blocked the construction of highways and blocked the construction of the area. He only demolished some places, and the rest was relatively well preserved. After all, this city wall also has hundreds of years of history. Witnessed the decline and prosperity of Yanjing.
"Old sword."
Su Yu put on his coat and said to the Minister of Finance behind him, "You have also seen that money is being spent everywhere in the country. Your Ministry of Finance should collect taxes as soon as possible. Taxes must be collected in strict accordance with tax collection regulations. No more taxes can be collected. Collect, but don’t collect less.”
"General Manager, please rest assured. Our Ministry of Finance will definitely act in accordance with the instructions and regulations, and statistics will be available around the end of February."
"Um."
Su Yu nodded and said, "How are the three major businesses established?"
"This is a huge project, and I have asked local officials from all provinces to assist. According to your request, the provincial capital, the headquarters of the three major banks will be established, and branches of the three major banks will be established in urban areas, counties, and towns.
In our plan, we will establish 6,000 branches of the three major banks across the country, 120 headquarters, and establish a group of the three major banks in Yanjing. This project requires a lot of investment.
Branches are divided into three levels according to cities, counties, and towns. It costs 80,000 silver dollars to establish a municipal branch because it needs to be more than 3,000 square meters. The cost of a county-level branch is around 40,000 silver dollars, which is about 1,800 square meters. A town-level branch costs 20,000 silver dollars and covers an area of about 1,500 square meters.
There are also headquarters that must be at least 8,000 square meters and construction funds of 200,000 yuan, and the headquarters of the three major groups, each with a height of 33 floors, require an initial construction fund of 3.3 million silver dollars, so just to build the three major banks, hundreds of millions of funds are needed. "
"It's all money. How much money does the Treasury have now?"
"About 500 million."
"How many?"
Su Yu asked Jian Nanchun in surprise, "Last month, the treasury still had 2.7 billion, and about 100 million was received every month. Why is there only so little left now? How did you spend your damn money? No Do you know how to save me some money?"
"Chief, you have to speak with your conscience!"
Jian Nanchun said aggrievedly, "When you looked at the dilapidated state of Yanjing, you said that 1.2 billion would be spent on vigorous construction, building roads, rebuilding houses and streets, and repairing forests and gardens. This cost 1.2 billion, and the three major industries The headquarters, as well as the skyscraper of the headquarters of Dongsheng Group, cost 12 million yuan to build the tallest building with a height of 108 meters, as well as the construction of the No. 1 villa specifically for the residence of major ministers and officials, etc., and it cost no less than 100 million yuan. This is still There are thousands of banks spread out, and there are troops.”
"Now the number of troops has increased to more than 3.1 million, and there are still 600,000 reserves. You, the boss, just opened up and increased the military pay for the troops. Now the average military pay for soldiers is as high as 8.5 yuan. Every month, this army consumes 26.35 million yuan. The average military pay and reservist salary is 4.5 yuan, which is 2.7 million. If the 30 million is gone this month, there are still nearly 4 million mouths to eat. The logistics cost of 15 million a month is 45 million a month."
"In addition to these, there are officials from all over the country. Our Daxia Kingdom currently has 550,000 officials, including township cadres, with an average salary of 5.8 yuan, which is more than 3 million yuan per month, and..."
"Stop it, stop it!"
Su Yu said with a smile, "I don't blame you. I'm just surprised that so much money has been spent in just a few dozen days. Now the government only has 500 million funds. Can this last until after taxes are paid?"
"Commander, you forgot one thing."
Jian Nanchun said with a smile, "There are 4 million landlords in the country. Our purge activities have wiped out 3.3 million landlords. Although all the land has been distributed, these landlords have a very rich family background. There are also horse bandits and landlords in the three northwest provinces. Lao Cai, all the materials seized now are also delivered."
"yes!"
Su Yu slapped his thigh and shouted, "How could I forget this?"
"Tell me the number?"
"I really don't know about this," Jian Nanchun shook his head and said, "The number is too huge. There are more than 13 million land deeds alone. We are now auctioning these land deeds, as well as ancient calligraphy and paintings, and are also exchanging them for Money, and of course the more precious ancient calligraphy and paintings, we will keep them all, and then set up a cultural relics museum to store them."
"I feel relieved to hear this."
Su Yu said with a smile, "I believe that these nearly 4 million landlords can help our country solve this urgent financial problem. After the taxes come up, I will start setting up three major shipyards. This is also a big deal." cost of."
"There is also the issue of the concession. While the countries are at war, the concession must be taken back. All the surrounding islands must also be taken back. No one can take away what belongs to our country, Daxia."
...
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Su Zhiqing was also very busy at this time, because the Kingdom of Daxia had just been established, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still blank. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be established quickly. Being familiar with diplomacy is the foundation of a country and the face of a country, so it cannot be careless. .
"My great foreign minister."
Su Yu saw Su Zhiqing who was immersed in writing copy and shouted, "My sister-in-law has been blaming me for the past two days, saying that you haven't been back for a month. What's wrong? You plan to make this your home."
"You boy!"
Su Zhiqing shook his head and said, "I know you have no good intentions in asking me to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I have been exhausted during this period. Finally, the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs is on the right track and has begun to develop gradually."
"I know it's difficult."
Su Yu closed the door, and then looked at his second brother's office, which was about six to seventy square meters. It contained a sofa and coffee table, a desk, and cabinets for files. It was very simple.
"If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall, tell me!"
Su Zhiqing took out the fine tea leaves and made a cup of tea for Su Yu and said, "Our chief, are you coming to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the concession issue?"
"Yo ho!"
Su Yu took a sip of tea and said in surprise, "When did second brother start telling fortunes part-time?"
