Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 324: How to turn losses into profits

As for the consequences of Li Gonggong and Hong Siqi’s warnings, Xia Fan also knows well.

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

Not enough residential land in the city? Expansion to the outskirts is the case.

Fast consumption of food? It is possible to increase 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 Comprehensive Affairs provides a large number of jobs, all of which require a lot of money to support, but correspondingly, the Bureau does not receive much profit. Since taking over all the functions of the government office, Jinxia's only stable income comes from business tax. It's just that this amount of money is not enough compared to 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 perspective of Grandpa Li, he is simply sprinkling his own money on the people like water. Once the money in the pocket is used up, the policies built on this system will collapse.

In his opinion, a financial situation where revenue and expenditure are balanced, or where revenue is slightly larger 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, so that social wealth can be inflated appropriately, so that the economy can be full of vitality.

To put it simply, it means to increase the amount of money circulating in the private sector.

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 shackles of gold and silver and other currencies have been completely liberated, and the speed of social development has taken off rapidly.

Xia Fan also wanted to do this very much, but it is a pity that Jinxia City is still dying, and direct banknote printing is prone to a series of problems.

The most important thing is the product.

Except for salt and houses, Jinxia didn’t have the necessary daily necessities, which made the government lack channels other than government orders to encourage residents to convert 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 that is paid out as a salary. If the supporting bank cannot exchange enough cash, the banknotes with little credit will probably go bankrupt immediately.

Of course, he can also increase the selling price of salt and houses, and stipulate that the transaction must be done with paper money. This can indeed allow people to hold a certain amount of banknotes for a long time, but the high prices of salt and houses will greatly reduce the willingness of the immigrant population to move in, and the result will be turning the cart before the horse.

After the large-scale harvest in Yantian, the idea of ​​using grain as an intermediate equivalent may be able to initiate the idea of ​​printing money, but now it is definitely doing more harm than good.

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

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." Li Gonggong said with a smile, "I heard that you want to solve the problem of the emptiness of the inner library this time?"

Probably, the recent changes in Jinxia City are changing with each passing day. 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 crowded with a smile. After all, he proposed this matter. If the financial crisis can be avoided, the princess will be credited. "Which item needs to be stopped or new taxes?"

"Neither." Xia Fan shook his head. "The current projects that the Bureau of Affairs are advancing not only cannot be stopped, but must also be promoted. Tax increases are easy to reduce and difficult to cut, and cannot be increased hastily because of temporary difficulties."

Gonggong Li was stunned, "How can Neiku reduce the shortfall? Could it be... Are you waiting for the Tribute of Equestria?"

"The money is considerable, but we don't know when the ships across the sea will arrive." Staff officer He Gui expressed concern.

"Of course, I will not pin my hopes on uncertain things," Xia Fan spread out the big map of Shenzhou in front of everyone, "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 care of Shenzhou, but things have already happened. At this point, there is not much need to hide. 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 condensed a lot of money. If they can grab all of them-to concentrate, it is equivalent to another It is the accumulation of a royal family."

For the local Shenzhou, the snow season will only cause difficulties for the army to move and supply, and 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, they are several kings." Xia Fan laughed, 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 a lot of cases can be found by searching according to the deed of the government office~ IndoMTL.com~ Of course, the purpose of this matter is not just 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 to familiarize the troops with the usage of these new equipment and also an opportunity to test their actual effects."

In a sense, this is the step-tank coordination with Jinxia characteristics. The mechanical beast is far less flexible than horses, but the durability and load capacity are not comparable to horses. In the end, Xia Fan doesn't know how much this kind of war equipment can play in actual combat. Therefore, 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 resources. Singleness and deficiency of the above."

"Finally, I hope that when the Privy Council takes targeted actions, the front line of war will not unfold near Jinxia City." Xia Fan said solemnly, "The last fight is a sign of determination, but it is also another manifestation of the end of the road. If you want to Confronting the Privy Council, we should at least take the entire Shenzhou into our hands this winter, and separate ourselves from them within the boundaries of Shenzhou."
