"The autumn harvest has begun, and this year's taxes will be collected. The Qin Dynasty is not afraid of any trouble." Ying Zheng said calmly.
The main reason is that there is a shortage of people in the court, and the construction of schools must be put on the agenda.
"Your Majesty, there is not enough grain in the national treasury now. We cannot spend all the taxes collected directly. We have to save some." Feng Quji persuaded earnestly.
Among the existing state-owned technologies of the Qin Dynasty, the price of salt is too low. It is basically sold at cost price and not much money can be made. Vermicelli factories basically supply the military and not much is sold.
The only thing that can make money is the sale of glass.
It sold well at the beginning, but as the number of glass items increased and they were not expensive, the income gradually stabilized.
Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are just fine. Just one word from you makes these people run around.
Even Ying Zheng couldn't stand being stared at by Feng Quji with accusing eyes.
After hearing what he said, the father and daughter seemed like spendthrifts.
"Storing grain is not a problem. This year has been a good year with good weather and harvests. I think the people have saved up a lot of surplus grain. The court can come forward to purchase some of it." Zhao Qingrui was also a little helpless. One doesn't know how expensive food and firewood are until he runs the household. The court's expenditure is really too much, and relying solely on taxes is still not enough.
Fortunately, Sui Shicong took his men out to sea, and when they return safely, they will surely bring a lot of wealth.
Nowadays, many caravans have gone out to sea. The sea is big and dangerous, but Zhao Qingrui values the sea, and there is indeed profit in the sea.
Today's economy has developed greatly, which has led to a lot of increase in tax revenue.
However, this has also given rise to a number of problems, piracy being one of them, and the government has not yet found the time to deal with it.
"Your Highness makes it sound easy. The national treasury will pay for the purchase, but Your Highness will not be responsible for other expenditures of the national treasury?" Feng Quji said seriously. He really wanted to tell them to take a break and let Daqin be quiet for two or three years. This time period can be used for recuperation and development of Daqin.
Instead of developing too fast like it is now, he feels old and can't keep up with the times.
