Specifically, there are more than nine million people, calculated as at least two million families. Even if there are only one million people working, the minimum food they need every month is one stone.
Calculated based on the calculation that one liter of rice costs forty coins, one stone of rice is four thousand coins, totaling four taels of silver.
One million people are worth four million taels of silver in one month, eight million taels in two months, and up to twelve million taels in three months.
The Account Department currently has fifteen million taels of silver in its account, which is enough for this time's expenses.
But that, like more than 35 million shi of grain, cannot be moved.
¡°Let alone twelve million taels, even four million taels, the Ministry of Revenue would definitely not be willing to give it.
And their stinginess is justified.
It¡¯s such a big country, where can we not use money?
If you spend it all at once, what will you do when you need money urgently?
Especially in order to protect the expenses of the officials in the capital, as well as the expenses of hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and their families, the Ministry of Household Affairs must have a strong foundation.
Miao Yan also knew that the Ministry of Internal Affairs must also have money, but for the same reason, it was impossible to spend millions.
Especially last night, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs jointly allocated three million taels of silver each for disaster relief.
It is the responsibility of the imperial court for the Ministry of Household Affairs to provide money for disaster relief.
"But the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the emperor's small treasury and his private property. There is no reason to assume the responsibility of disaster relief again and again.
¡°Otherwise, even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a mountain of gold and silver, it will not be enough.
The emperor has posted most of his income from various mines, imperial estates and other places over the years.
It was also thanks to Jinghe's good fortune from one to twenty years that the emperor was able to save some money while sorting out the late emperor's bad debts.
Otherwise, there are so many disasters in these years, and he can't hold more benefits every year.
¡° Anyway, Miao Yan couldn¡¯t conjure twelve million taels of silver. He could only see if Liu Mingqi could create another miracle.
As a result, Lord Miao heard an answer that was most incredible to him.
"There are many ways to get money, it just depends on whether your Majesty is willing to use it." The young man said.
Miao Yan¡¯s head is spinning. I¡¯ve been thinking about it for so long and haven¡¯t figured it out, but you have many ways?
Jing and Emperor had similar expressions, "You should tell me."
Liu Mingqi said: "There are still pieces of cloth, silk and satin in the warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right? If you sell them all, you can get at least a few million taels of silver, right?"
"hehe!"
Emperor Jinghe waved his hand and said without thinking, "Next item."
Cloth, silk, and satin are more important supplies than food. They are mainly important items for doing business with neighboring countries.
If there is no such a large amount of income, how will the various expenses of the court come from? How do you get your salary?
???????????????????????????????????
"I heard that a new iron mine was found in Gansu and mining has begun. It seems to be quite large." Liu Mingqi said: "Now that we are so short of money, we might as well sell this iron mine and divide it into one hundred shares. A portion of fifty thousand taels of silver is guaranteed, and five million taels of silver are guaranteed to be obtained within a few days."
Emperor Jinghe looked at Liu Mingqi with a smile on his face, "We, the Kang Dynasty, have never sold mines before. You asked me to sell mines as soon as you came up. Are you treating me as the king of subjugation?"
"You can't afford to play with this expression. Are you going to break up?"
All right.
You are the emperor and you are the boss.
Liu Mingqi had no choice but to talk about the third point: "Then the most practical thing is to sell temporary salt and tea Yin. As long as you are willing to pay us, we will sell it. In this way, we can also get a lot of money in a short time."
Emperor Jinghe did not refute immediately this time.
But Miao Yan said: "Your Highness, if there is too much salt and tea, I'm afraid we will usher in large-scale chaos."
"I know this, it's just an emergency." Liu Mingqi said: "It's temporary anyway. It will be chaotic for a year or two at most, and then it can return to normal."
"You put it lightly." Miao Yan said: "Compared with salt merchants, grain merchants are nothing. If the interests of salt merchants are touched, it will cause a big commotion! The same goes for tea merchants. Historically, major border merchants have The tea merchants all have strong financial resources, and if they cause trouble, it will be difficult for the court!"
&??Common people can live a stable life, and that is enough. There is no need to think about becoming a saint.
But it¡¯s different now. The livelihoods of nine million people in the Gyeonggi region are involved. Nothing is more important than this.
When Liu Mingqi mentioned this, Emperor Jing He was surprised and immediately made up his mind.
Sorry, Zhuo Yi, I have no choice but to do it!
¡¡
Note: According to the Dakang Dynasty system, taxable items are divided into four categories: grain, silk, gold and iron, and products. The seventh grade of grain, the tenth grade of silk, the fourth grade of gold and iron, and the sixth grade of products.
There are many ways to pay taxes in ancient times. Among the six types of products, the fifth is fruits, medicine, oil, paper, firewood, charcoal, lacquer, wax Fruits can also be paid as taxes, such as dried dates. It's a very valuable tax.
