Chapter 332: Ways to turn losses into profits

As for the consequences of Li Gonggong and Hong Siqi's warnings, Xia Fan also

knew well.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of "money".

Not enough residential land in the city? This is the extension to the suburbs.

Food consumption is fast? We can increase our investment in beach salt pans

and strive to double the harvest in the coming year.

As long as you have money, these problems are not difficult to deal with.

While investing in new projects, the Bureau of General Affairs provides a

large number of jobs, all of which need money to support, but correspondingly,

the Bureau of Affairs does not receive much profit. Since taking over all

functions of the government office, Jinxia's only stable income comes from

commercial tax. It's just that this amount of money is not enough compared to

the expenses, especially with the bottomless pit of opening schools and

implementing elementary education, the bureau will lose tens of thousands of

taels every month.

From the point of view of Grandpa Li, he is simply sprinkling his own money to

the people like water. Once the money in the pocket is used up, the policies

built on this system will collapse.

In his view, a financial situation where revenue and expenditure are balanced,

or that revenue is slightly greater than expenditure, is the most ideal

situation.

This will ensure that Ning Wanjun's treasury will have a surplus every year,

and her wealth will also increase.

But Xia Fan knows that this is not what a dominant government should do.

On the contrary, the bureau’s expenditures should be greater than income, and

expenditures should be increased every year to make social wealth inflate

moderately, so as to make the economy full of vitality.

Simply put, it is to increase the amount of money in circulation among the

people.

Therefore, there is no problem with the status quo of Jinxia City. The only

crux is that the silver two are physical objects, not as much as you want to

print like paper money.

In other words, it is precisely because of the emergence of paper money that

the ** of gold and silver and other currencies has been completely

liberated, and the speed of social development has taken off rapidly.

Xia Fan wanted to do this very much too, but it was a pity that Jinxia City

was still short of fire. Direct printing of money was prone to a series of

problems.

The most important thing is the product.

Except for salt and houses, Jinxia did not have the necessary daily

necessities, which made the government lack channels other than government

orders to encourage residents to exchange their silver taels into banknotes,

or to prevent them from changing banknotes into silver taels.

Out of worries about new things, people will definitely find ways to get back

the money after they get the paper money issued as salaries. If the supporting

bank fails to exchange enough cash, the banknotes’ low credit will probably go

bankrupt immediately.

Of course, he can also increase the price of salt and houses, and stipulate

that the transaction must be done in paper money. This can indeed allow people

to hold a certain amount of paper money for a long time, but the high price of

salt and houses will greatly reduce the willingness of the immigrant

population to move in, and the result is that the cart is upside down.

After the large-scale harvest in Yantian, the idea of using grain as an

intermediate equivalent may still be used to print money, but now it is

definitely doing more harm than good.

Jinxia needs to use more direct means to resolve this deficit.

After dinner, Xia Fan directly asked the princess to summon his men and held a

small meeting in the class.

"Master Xia, I haven't seen you for a month. You are stronger than before."

Grandpa Li said with a smile, "I heard that you are trying to solve the

problem of the emptiness of Neiku?"

Probably the recent changes in Jinxia City are changing with each passing day,

and even the oldest veteran in the princess team has been respectful.

"Indeed." Xia Fan said frankly, "I don't have money on hand, and I have less

confidence in doing things, right?"

"You are right." His brows were almost squeezed with a smile. After all, this

matter was raised by him. If the financial crisis can be avoided, the princess

will be credited. "Which items need to be stopped, or new taxes?"

"Not at all." Xia Fan shook his head, "The current projects promoted by the

Secretariat must not be stopped, but must be promoted. Tax increases are easy

to cut, and cannot be increased hastily because of temporary difficulties."

Li Gonggong was stunned, "How can Neiku reduce the deficit? Could it be... Are

you waiting for the Tribute from Equestria?"

"The money is certainly considerable, but we don't know when the ships across

the sea will arrive." The staff officer He Gui expressed concern.

"Of course I will not pin my hopes on uncertain things," Xia Fan spread out

the Shenzhou map in front of everyone, "The silver two should be resolved from

within Shenzhou."

The army commander Xu Sanzhong's eyes lit up, "You mean... robbery?"

"——Returning power to Jin Xia." Xia Fan corrected. "It is foreseeable that the

Privy Council will take action against Jin Xia in the coming year. Our

original plan was to take a picture of Shenzhou, but the matter is here and it

is hidden. There is not much need. Sending the army to take down the

surrounding cities and towns and replace these local government offices is the

task to be completed this winter!"

Ning Wanjun stood up suddenly, "Good idea!" Her eyes were full of excitement,

"These officials must have collected a lot of money. If they can grab all of

them-concentrate, it is equivalent to another Wang family. Accumulation."

For the local Shenzhou, the snow season will only cause difficulties for the

army to move and supply, and it is not to the extent that it is impassable.

The only garrison in Shenzhou is far to the west, and Jinxia City is

undoubtedly the overlord of the entire Southeast region.

"If you count the cleaning up of old accounts, it will be several kings." Xia

Fan smiled, especially the squires and big landlords who have never committed

violations of law and discipline. After the government is taken down, it is

estimated that many cases can be found according to the deed of the government

office ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Of course, the purpose of this matter is not only

to enrich the pockets. "

He stretched out three fingers.

"The air rifle has been assembled with troops, and five or six organ beasts

have been built. This operation can be used as a practical exercise. It will

not only make the troops familiar with the use of these new equipment, but

also an opportunity to test their actual effects."

In a sense, this is a step-tank coordination with Jinxia characteristics. The

mechanism beast is far less flexible than a horse, but its durability and load

capacity are not comparable to horses. Xia Fan doesn't know how much this kind

of war equipment can play in actual combat, so it is definitely a necessary

process to train weak enemies in advance.

"Secondly, the officials previously prepared for these towns can also be

seamlessly integrated into the new plan. Therefore, after the government is

banned, these towns will not lose order. On the contrary, they can be used by

Jinxia immediately to supplement our single resource. And insufficient."

"Finally, I hope that when the Privy Council takes targeted action, the front

line of war will not unfold near Jinxia City." Xia Fan solemnly said, "The

last fight is a sign of determination, but it is also another manifestation of

the end of the road. If you want to fight the Privy Council. Confrontation,

this winter we should at least take the entire Shenzhou into our hands, and

separate ourselves from them within the boundaries of Shenzhou."
