Chapter 322: The situation is very good

In terms of fiscal budget, it is not as abundant as the sixth year of the Apocalypse. The main reason is the increase in military expenditure. Wars are easy to waste people and damage money. This has always been the case. Even the United States in the 21st century has weakened its national strength due to wars everywhere and was chased by China.&1t;/p>

However, the war to recover the Western Regions is a war to fight, and it is a war for living space.&1t;/p>

Since ancient times, the foreign races in northern, northwest and northeast China have been the biggest threat to the nation. Either the east wind suppresses the west wind or the west wind suppresses the east wind.&1t;/p>

Once the alien race has gained a living space, after continuous reshuffle, once a powerful ethnic group appears, it may sweep away other alien races, and then integrate resources to target the flower world within the pass.&1t;/p>

To eliminate the hidden dangers of alien races, the most fundamental way is to compress their living space.&1t;/p>

The recovery of the Western Regions is likely to lead to an increase in administrative costs and an increase in national defense expenditure. However, Zhu Youxiao believes that such expenses are still acceptable. Moreover, with the laying of railways and telegrams in the future, administrative costs can be reduced, and the central government's control over the Western Regions will also increase. In addition, the Western Regions will become the place where the Ming Dynasty will produce commercial cotton, and it is also a must-pass place for the Ming Dynasty to reach Central Asia and West Asia.&1t;/p>

Moreover, as long as the Ming Dynasty controlled the Tanguwulianghai to the west--Tianshan Mountains, and the Tanguwulianghai to the north--Lake Baikal, and the north-east line. It could build a natural Great Wall with the terrain of mountains, lakes and other terrains.&1t;/p>

That is to say, if the threats of alien races in this area are eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will basically get rid of the threats of nomadic peoples and will be able to display freely in this large area.&1t;/p>

Therefore, it is better to have a short pain than long pain, spend some military spending. The strategic goals that can be achieved are very favorable.&1t;/p>

Under such considerations, at the end of the sixth year of the Tianqi revelation, war preparations continued. A large number of soldiers began to mobilize to Gansu, and combat materials were also constantly gathering to Gansu and Shaanxi.&1t;/p>

The Ming envoy also arrived in the northern part of the Moon at the end of the year. The Khalkha tribe in the Mongolian in the Moon suddenly felt like he was hit by a pie. He agreed to the trade requests made by the Ming envoy and begged the Ming envoy to sell their batch of weapons and equipment.&1t;/p>

The messenger was embarrassed and hummed for most of the day. After the sincere begging of the Khalkha tribe, he finally "reluctantly"∝ding∝small∝say, .v.o≮&1t;    s="arn:2p    o     2p    o">&1t;srp     p="/aasrp">s_();&1t;/srp>&1t;/> agreed. However, he only agreed to sell 20,000 sets of equipment to the Khalkha tribe, each set of equipment including steel armor, swords, etc.&1t;/p>

In order to buy these weapons and equipment, the Khalkha tribe was selling out, and paid 50,000 war horses for it. Who made the Ming Dynasty have a stable source of war horses? The Mongolians in the northern desert can only buy excellent weapons and equipment from the Ming Dynasty. As the seller of weapons and equipment, the Ming Dynasty firmly occupied the seller's market.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty had more and more war horses, and the infantry divisions began to equip war horses in large quantities. Although the military expenditure was further improved, the mobility of the infantry division was greatly improved.&1t;/p>

However, there are naturally no more horses. With the continuous progress of reforms in the north, the economy is constantly boosting, and the demand for horses in the production and transportation field is increasing. It can still digest the horse production capacity. Especially after the resources in the Northeast region are redistributed, agricultural producers own more land, and farmers basically need horses. If the land is only a dozen acres, the horses will not be used at all, and the production efficiency is not high.&1t;/p>

After Mongolia in the north of Mobei bought a batch of weapons and equipment, it was actually not much different from Lin Dankhan in terms of military strength. Both sides were at a slight pound. Lin Dankhan could bully the surrounding Mongolian tribes, but it was because of its large number of troops and better equipment.&1t;/p>

After a defeat, Lin Dankhan's strength and prestige dropped significantly, which was actually similar to the power of the Khalkha tribe, but the equipment sold to Lin Dankhan by the Ming Dynasty still gave him a certain advantage.&1t;/p>

Now that Mobei Mongolia has also obtained equipment, it is different immediately. Lin Danhan's advantage is completely gone. Moreover, with Lin Danhan's o-brained fortune, Zhu Youxiao can basically foresee that he will be beaten again when he fought against Mobei Mongolia.&1t;/p>

Just as the Mongolian and Mongolian in the north of the desert and the south of the desert were biting a dog, Zhu You proofreaded the Yarkand Khanate and the Junkar tribe, they would not get involved as shit stirring sticks.&1t;/p>

The war schedule has been agreed, and an offensive against the Yarkand Khanate will be launched after the beginning of spring.&1t;/p>

The participating troops were also ready at the end of the year. The troops involved in the combat included 16 cavalry divisions, a total of 80,000 cavalry units, as well as 15 infantry divisions, 1 artillery division, with a force of 260,000 in combat and a war budget of 5ooo million yuan.&1t;/p>

The war must be fought, and internal reform and construction must continue.&1t;/p>

By the end of the year, the Ministry of Personnel selected a large number of grassroots officials and sent them to the advanced training class of the University of Political Science and Law for training. The cabinet also came up with a continuous reform plan, that is, to include Shanxi and Henan provinces in the scope of administrative reform in the seventh year of the Tianqi period, and by the eighth year of the Tianqi period, the two provinces could be comprehensively reformed.&1t;/p>

In the eighth year of the Tianqi revelation, Shaanxi and Gansu were included in administrative reforms and governance of the Western Regions at the same time.&1t;/p>

This means that by the eighth year of Apocalypse, northern provinces will be fully incorporated into the new policy system, and comprehensive reforms in the northern provinces will be realized in the nineth year of Apocalypse.&1t;/p>

In terms of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, the agricultural tax in the Nine Years of Tianqi will increase significantly. First, the arable land in Shandong will be included in the scope of the taxation of the new agricultural tax bill. At the same time, the agricultural production scale of Northeast China, Luzon, Jawa and Malacca will continue to expand.&1t;/p>

The salt tax will also continue to grow, because more people have been included in the New Deal area. While the income of the people in the New Deal area will increase, the consumption of salt will increase. At the same time, the alkaline industry has emerged, and the scale of the Seventh Year of the Apocalypse will be expanded. At the same time, the scope of salt tax collection has also been expanded, and the salt consumed by the indigenous people in Southeast Asia will be included in the salt tax scope.&1t;/p>

In addition, in the seventh year of the Tianqi period, the private salt along the coast of Fujian will be carried out to change the rampant situation of private salt in the past when the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.&1t;/p>

Import and export tariffs will certainly increase significantly, because the number of merchant ships has increased, and trade in the Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula will become very frequent, and the scale of opening to Australia will also expand.&1t;/p>

In addition, the trade fleet formed by the Navy will go to India in the weather for seven years, and trade with other countries in the Middle East. If it goes smoothly, it can open up a new trade route. It is easy to trade with other countries. The Ming Dynasty is not like the Europeans. It has no good products and requires trading, which is completely a robbery. The Ming Dynasty has many advantageous commodities, and generally requires trading with other countries overseas. It is more smooth to trade with other countries. The more dings, it is to show off its muscles.&1t;/p>

Income from commercial tax and personal income tax will also increase with the expansion of the new policy areas and economic development, especially when a large number of projects start to start.&1t;/p>

Overall, the fiscal revenue in the seventh year of the Apocalypse was in a good situation. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
