In the early morning, the entire Yanjing began to be covered by the sound of firecrackers. On this day, from the moment Su Yu got up, the reputation of the World Nuclear Peace Center has been growing, because this is the most stable New Year for the people in the past ten years in Great Xia. .
Dumplings are eaten during the New Year in the north, which is very different from that in the south. However, as the saying goes, do as the Romans do in the country. The Su family also started making dumplings. The old chef was also brought over from the south and was preparing the New Year dinner.
The Su family suddenly became lively. The men were making tea and eating fruits in the hall, while the women were chatting and gossiping together. There were also five or six younger brothers and sisters who were all Su Yu's younger brothers and sisters. They were still in college. , several people were playing mahjong together and having a great time. Several young mothers were taking care of their children, each in their own circle.
"The third child."
Su Yuanzhong leaned on the sofa and said, "I'm afraid this concession issue will not be easy to solve. The previous government signed a contract with the great powers. They have the right to use this concession for ninety-nine years. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to get it back. .”
"Nothing is easy."
Su Yu took a sip of tea and said, "If the fist is strong, they have to give in. The contract is just a piece of waste paper. It is only used to restrain the weak. The strong never needs to be restrained, because he is the one who makes the rules. "
"These big powers are using the concession to make huge profits in our country of Great Xia. Underground black boxing, opium, arms trafficking, etc. have seriously curbed the development of our coastal areas. Therefore, this concession issue must be resolved as soon as possible, even if it means using force."
"Don't worry," Su Zhiqing said, "Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has begun to formulate a plan. We will do everything we can to get the concession back without using force. The worst case scenario is just to scare the other party."
Listening to the conversation between his two sons, Su Yuanzhong was very satisfied.
"The current economic development trend of Daxia is also quite good," Su Yuanzhong said again, "Both Guangyuan Province and various regions are vigorously promoting economic development, and the local government is also strongly supporting it. It will not take long for this to happen. Our economy in Great Xia will take off."
"It was a matter of time."
Su Yu said with a smile, "With the injection of a large number of enterprises, tens of thousands of kilometers of distance to connect the north and the south, and shipping in coastal areas to connect with foreign countries, it will only take three to five years for Daxia's economy to improve." Make a qualitative leap.”
The four father and son were chatting about the general trend of the world in the hall. Then lunch was served and the family started to have lunch happily. After lunch, the children started to ask for red envelopes.
"uncle."
The son of the eldest brother Su Yuan came to Su Yu and said happily, "I wish you a happy new year, uncle, and bring me the red envelope."
"Hahaha."
Su Hao's words immediately aroused laughter. Because Su Hao was young, only ten years old, and his chubby face was very cute and full of joy, so he aroused laughter.
"Thank you, this is your red envelope."
Su Yu put a hundred yuan in the red envelope, as well as his sister. Among the several younger brothers and sisters, the one he was closest to was Su Zixin. When he was a child, he also liked to run after him, shouting at him all day long. Now because of He is the emperor of the empire, which makes these younger brothers and sisters more reserved when they see him.
"You have too."
Su Yu prepared a big red envelope worth ten thousand yuan for each of his six younger brothers and sisters. He walked up to Su Zixin and touched her head and said, "Little girl, you are getting more and more beautiful as you grow. Are you graduating soon?"
"Um."
Su Zixin nodded heavily and said, "Graduation will take place in half a year."
"What do you want to do after graduation?"
"Don't know yet."
"After graduation, go to your sister-in-law and ask her to arrange a job for you," Su Yu said with a smile. "Girls have to be self-reliant. If you have time, bring a brother-in-law back to your brother."
"elder brother!"
Su Zixin stamped her feet and shouted dissatisfied.
"Hahaha."
After handing out the red envelopes, Su Yu took Jingwan out for a walk. He watched the children happily chasing each other on the street, setting off firecrackers and playing with lanterns. His face was filled with happiness. This may be the meaning of his efforts.
...
After the New Year, Su Yu started to get busy again. The new year has a new atmosphere. This year is very important. It is the starting year of the Great Xia Kingdom. The foundation must be laid solidly so as to facilitate subsequent development.
Various departments began to report last year's situation to Su Yu, and local officials also began to report on local situations one after another and summarize last year. Although there were only a few dozen days, reporting was necessary.
Therefore, Su Yu was very busy during this period. He sent most of the documents to the cabinet. For this kind of hard work, he had to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
After the Lunar New Year, Su Zhiqing took the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with diplomats from these powerful countries to explain his intentions. It can be said that he was rejected the first time he went there.
Su Yu, on the other hand, was listening to the Ministry of Finance's report on last year's tax situation.
"General Manager, because we just founded the country last year, there are some deviations in fiscal collection. Most areas have been devastated by war. For example, in the Central Plains, we have not collected too much tax. Almost most people can't afford it, so this year's tax It’s not that much.”
"Among them, the province with the largest tax revenue is Jiangbei Province, with a total of 133 million silver dollars, followed by Guangyuan Province with 132 million silver dollars. Last year, our total tax revenue was 3.96 billion silver dollars. Because after the tax restructuring, there is almost no tax. If tax evasion and tax evasion are included in the provinces of the Central Plains, this year's tax revenue could actually exceed the 5 billion mark."
This number is actually part of Su Yu's calculations. After all, Daxia has 540 million people. No matter how poor or backward it is, the tax revenue will not be too bad. In the past, there were too many commercial tax leakages, but now , commercial tax accounts for 71%. If Su Yu had not cut hundreds of miscellaneous taxes, this year's tax revenue would be around 7 billion.
"Have the funds for the house confiscation been calculated?"
"about there."
Jian Nanchun opened the account book and said, "We have not touched the 90,000 rare antique calligraphy and paintings. They are all stored. When cultural relics museums are established in major cities later, they will be put in them. As for the tens of millions of land deeds, they have been All were sold below the market price. According to statistics, the total we calculated was 23.9 billion silver dollars and 2,100 tons of gold. Our treasury’s gold reserves have reached 6,000 tons.”
"How many?"
Su Yu stood up and shouted, "23.9 billion!!!"
"That's right, the total currency of our country in Daxia is about more than 50 billion. Therefore, these 4 million landlords control the vast majority of the wealth in Daxia."
"Damn it."
Su Yu cursed secretly, "It seems that the currency reform will be accelerated."
