Chapter 827

With the end of the year approaching, it's another year of budget battles.

In the five years of Yongxing, Dahua's tax revenue reached 450 million yuan, an increase of 36%.

The growth rate of Dahua's tax has been declining, but that's because Dahua's tax is increasing.

The growth rate has declined, but the total increase has increased.

450 million yuan, which is a figure that most people cannot understand.

Of the 450 million, only 50 million came from agriculture and aquaculture, and only a little over 10%.

Industry, commerce and finance accounted for about 60% to 50%, tax on resources and minerals accounted for more than 10%, and other areas accounted for about 50%.

The proportion of taxes on resources and minerals is increasing year by year, mainly because Dahua is consuming more and more minerals faster and faster.

The exploitation of natural resources has also become a more profitable industry than engaging in industry.

Otherwise, Dahua would not have become a dedicated Ministry of Natural Resources this year.

The tax revenue was gratifying, and the national debt that was borrowed before was officially paid off this year, as well as the fiscal deficit.

This also means that the court has spare money and can increase the wages of officials.

The tax of 450 million yuan is a lot, but to what extent it is too much, no one can say, there is no reference.

As a result, the people in the audit department made a rough estimate based on the situation of foreign countries and gave tax data for each country.

This kind of data is indeed "rough", and many data are not even supported by any evidence at all, just guesswork out of thin air.

Finally, the people from the Audit Office listed a tax ranking of major countries in the world.

The first place is of course Dahua, far ahead.

In second place is the United Kingdom, with the Audit Office guessing that the tax revenue of the United Kingdom this year should reach 20 million yuan.

No one knows what their theoretical basis is, and those who are skeptical will not be able to give more effective data, so they can only trust the conclusions of the audit department.

In third place is the Spanish Empire, with 16 million. Even if it is sunset, the dead camel is bigger than the horse.

In fourth place is France, with 15 million.

In fifth place is the Ottoman Empire, with 14 million.

......

The tenth is Fusang, 7 million, which is a more accurate number, because Dahua has a lot of spies in Fusang, and obtained the

Plenty of Fuso's finances.

This estimate makes Dahua officials very satisfied.

Because, according to this algorithm, the total tax of all other countries and regions in the world is not as much as Dahua.

For this kind of prediction, Wu Changqing just glanced at it and ignored it. It didn't make much sense, that is, it could satisfy his vanity and gain a sense of accomplishment.

People from the audit department estimate that the economic growth rate of Dahua in the six years of Yongxing should reach 20%, which means that the tax revenue of Yongxing in the six years can reach 540 million.

Therefore, Yongxing's six-year financial budget is set at 530 million, and 10 million is kept just in case.

After a heated debate, the parties finally reached a compromise.

Of these 530 million, 20 million were used to increase the wages of officials.

Even the wages of workers are constantly rising, and officials cannot keep standing still.

Without high salaries and honesty, it will inevitably breed more corruption.

Therefore, Wu Changqing also agreed to increase the salary of officials.

However, he also made the latest instructions. If the salary is increased, and there is still corruption and bribery, it will be severely punished.

It has become Dahua's practice to arrest a group of corrupt officials every year.

In this way, on the one hand, it can play a deterrent role, and on the other hand, it can also replace the new blood for the government and eliminate some incompetent people.

Of the remaining 510 million, the military received 100 million, accounting for nearly 20%.

In later generations, this proportion is naturally very high.

However, in this era, in this period of wars everywhere, the proportion of this military expenditure is not high.

The Fusang next door has already accounted for more than 100% of the military expenditure. Not to mention all the taxes are invested in the army, they also owe a huge debt.

Even the Persian Empire, which has no war for the time being, accounts for 30% of military expenditures.

Like France and the United Kingdom, the proportion of military expenditure exceeds 30%.

100 million military spending, the army accounted for 70 million, the navy 30 million.

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not at all.

For a Dongfeng truck, the military's purchase price is 3,000 yuan. They plan to equip 2,000 vehicles next year, which is 6 million here.

This is just one piece of equipment. The Army has to purchase too much equipment, plus the soldiers' salaries.

It is clear that the Army still needs to continue to live a hard life and continue to be self-reliant.

The navy is relatively better. After all, the navy has fewer personnel, and the expenditure on military salaries is much lower than that of the army.

However, for the Navy, 30 million is nothing at all.

The cost of a 2,000-ton pure ironclad ship is as high as 300,000. The Navy plans to build ten ships next year.

This piece of equipment alone accounts for one-tenth of military spending.

In short, 100 million military spending is definitely not enough. If there is a large-scale war next year, Wu Changqing will inevitably have to pay for it in his own pocket.

The remaining 410 million will be divided by more than a dozen departments.

It is still the Ministry of Industry that occupies the bulk of the

The Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Education, these are the departments that spend money.

The other ministries, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spend only the salaries of their staff.

The Ministry of Industry got 150 million, and the education part got 100 million...  

And then, the money has to be divided into places.

Those cities that are heavily supported and developed will naturally have to allocate more funds.

The same is true in education. In order to obtain more education funds, all provinces have broken their heads.

At this time, the comparison is based on the talent training results of the provinces, which is somewhat similar to the rate of admission in later generations.

Places with high enrollment rates will naturally receive more funding.

The places where the results are not good will naturally be less. In this way, principals everywhere can be motivated to pay close attention to education.

Just looking at the admission rate is naturally not good, but it is the most effective way.

In the competition for industrial funds, Guangdong, Hubei, and Anhui have a greater advantage, and the development speed of Guangdong and Hubei is much faster than that of other places.

In terms of fighting for education funding, Jiangxi is a standout.

Since ancient times, Jiangxi has been the region that attaches the most importance to education, and the number of various colleges has beaten other places.

This kind of strong reading atmosphere will not be cultivated in other places for a while.

But sadly, the development conditions in Jiangxi are not very good. Those talents who have acquired knowledge and skills have all gone to Guangzhou or Nanjing and Shanghai, and they have no chance to display their talents in Jiangxi.

Jiangxi has become a talent export base.
