Chapter 363 The Gap Between Industrial and Agricultural Countries
For Gao Shaoyi, heavy cruisers are not a rare thing. The most terrible thing is that warships are different from other weapons and equipment. Other weapons and equipment can be exchanged at any time. Warships still have a production time, and they don’t know what the system is.
What happened? Maybe he was afraid of exploding troops.
A heavy cruiser is about 10,000 tons. It can only produce a warship of 100 tons per hour. According to this time, it can only produce 2,400 tons per day. It takes more than four days to produce one ship. On the battlefield
The number has not been produced yet, how could it be given to the court? If this battle is over, if Gao Shaoyi has any dispute with the court, he will definitely use warships to calm the court's mind.
With these questions, Gao Shaoyi quickly came to the Imperial Garden. The emperor seemed to be in a very good mood today. He was feeding fish here. The fish raised in the pond of the Imperial Garden were very beautiful. After all, this was the Emperor's Imperial Garden.
"Have you received all the money you borrowed from other countries?"
The emperor's first words made Gao Shaoyi breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't want a heavy cruiser, everything else was easy to discuss.
Moreover, the emperor only knew a rough figure of the specific loan amount, and only Gao Shaoyi and a few handlers knew the real figure.
"We are already halfway there, and the remaining banks from various countries are ready to deliver within a month."
Gao Shaoyi answered honestly, not knowing what the emperor meant.
The emperor nodded, and then pointed to the seat next to him. He was now wearing casual clothes. It had been a long time since he sat down to talk to Gao Shaoyi.
"I have a question. Even if the annual income of the Daqian Dynasty is 80 million silver coins, including the income from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other aspects, the annual fiscal revenue is only 110 million silver coins. Why are there so many foreigners?
Where’s the money?”
The emperor frowned when he said this. Although there are many capable people under his command, no one has been able to answer this question. Gao Shaoyi felt relieved when he heard that it was this matter.
How should I talk about this question? Gao Shaoyi sorted out his thoughts in his head, and then began to talk endlessly. This is the difference between an industrial country and an agricultural country.
Take the war between the Junker Empire and the Gallic Empire. In the end, the Gallic Empire was defeated and had to compensate the Junker Empire with 600 million silver coins.
If this number were to be placed on the Daqian Dynasty, I am afraid it would be a very scary number, but for the Gallic Empire, they just issued some war bonds and people collected the money. This shows that
What is the problem? It means that people have too much money in China.
There was also the Windsor Empire's war in the colonies. The two-year war cost nearly two billion silver coins in military expenditures. But did the Windsor Empire fall?
The emperor listened very carefully. Although he was doubtful about these data and did not know where Gao Shaoyi got it, after listening to it, he also knew that the economy of the Daqian Dynasty was really too weak.
So far, agriculture is still the main focus.
Another is that the Daqian Dynasty did not have colonies all over the world. Although our population was the largest, we did not create much wealth.
"In addition to the economic gap between us and Western countries, there is another important problem, that is, there are too many corrupt officials in our country..."
Gao Shaoyi boldly said this, not knowing how many people he would offend, but at the same time, what he said was correct, and everyone nodded, including the emperor in front of him.
Gao Shaoyi didn't know about other places, but Gao Shaoyi knew very clearly about the two uncles. So far, half of the inventory work has been completed.
Everything is equivalent to about 340 million silver coins.
This is only half of the count, and according to the estimates of the count, the remaining part will definitely be more valuable. Of course, this money is not accumulated by the two uncles themselves, but also the private money of the emperor and his wife, including their family's century-old wealth.
.
Of course, Gao Shaoyi could not say this. If he did, the emperor in front of him might become even more unbalanced.
"In recent years, the court has also raided the homes of many corrupt officials and confiscated a lot of assets."
The emperor may have felt that he lost face in front of Gao Shaoyi. After all, the entire court was under his leadership, so he could only say these two words without any weight.
"emperor……"
"There are only two of us, so you should call me uncle."
When there are no disputes in the court, the emperor is also willing to have some family affection. After all, the emperor also has spies around Prince Ding. He knows that when Prince Ding and Gao Shaoyi talk, they are uncles and nephews.
"Then my nephew is brave enough to say something..."
Gao Shaoyi felt that being able to influence the emperor's thinking might also be beneficial to the current Daqian Empire. Of course, it may not be able to reverse everything now, but as long as there is a slightly better change, the people can also benefit from it.
Some time ago, the imperial court ordered the home of Governor Xuan Ning to be raided. In the end, the total amount of various wealth obtained was about three million silver coins.
In the previous month and a half, Zhou Zhipeng also raided the home of the former governor of Daliao. The two provinces were basically similar, and their official positions and years of service were also similar.
How much money did Zhou Zhipeng find out?
Tens of millions of silver coins.
There is such a big difference just by confiscating the house, and the person who ransacked the house was a close aide of the emperor.
These people are already making money everywhere, not to mention other people. It’s not that the Daqian Dynasty has no money, but that all the money has been eaten by moths, big and small, and they are all going to themselves from top to bottom.
Make money at home.
After hearing this, the emperor's face also became bleak. He was very envious of the integrity within the Suppression Army. Of course, the entire court probably had no way of imitating it. The integrity within the Suppression Army was also based on bloody lessons.
When the emperor asked this question, Gao Shaoyi also gave the emperor a set of data.
From the establishment of the Suppression Army to the present, Gao Shaoyi has executed a total of 185 officers due to corruption issues, the highest of which has reached the level of brigade commander, and 552 soldiers.
Troubled times require the use of heavy codes. Gao Shaoyi certainly understands this truth. In order to ensure the integrity of the suppressing army, even if some of them are heroes, Gao Shaoyi must kill them. Otherwise, it will not take long for the suppressing army to be suppressed.
It is very likely that within the Lu army, just like other departments of the imperial court, everyone is thinking about how to make money... This chapter has been completed!
