As early as the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Jia asked Shaofu Temple to control the salt field and the Maritime Bureau. These two places are also important sources of money for Shaofu Temple, and are still here today.

However, in order to encourage private trade and to enrich the Ministry of Revenue, Li Jia asked the Maritime Transportation Department run by Shaofu Temple to hand over the income of the Ministry of Revenue to let the Transportation Department run together with Shaofu Temple.

But in the salt field, Li Jia refused to give in and directly controlled the salt industry of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Nothing else, the profits of the salt industry are still too great, so big that Li Jia can't give up.

Before, when we were in the south, the salt industry could bring millions of dollars in money every year. After the Northern Expedition, Huai Yan was controlled and the profits in it reached millions.

In other words, today, Huai salt, plus salt removal and some sea salt, is enough to make a profit of tens of millions of yuan per year. Moreover, with the growth of the population, the profits in this area are constantly increasing, and the future is promising.

By the Northern Song Dynasty, Huaiyan alone had 20 million chunks of qian, which shows its profits.

When talking about salt tax, Li Jia instantly woke up. He looked at Sun Zhao and warned seriously:

"The Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty was because of salt. Moreover, salt is a daily necessity for the people and cannot be removed. It is of great importance. Only by letting me control it myself can you feel at ease. Don't think about it."

"Since you lack money, then add more money!"

Li Jia immediately changed the topic and said: "You can set up a Maritime Department in the two prefectures of Denglai, which can easily communicate with Goryeo and Khitan. Its location is suitable and you will surely receive a lot of money. The Ministry of Revenue is just around the corner."

Hearing the emperor's attitude, Sun Zhao retreated and did not dare to say bluntly that in this young founding monarch, his weight as the prime minister was really not enough.

Even if the owner of the Political Affairs Hall is added.

Zhao Pu looked at his nose and his nose, and looked at Sun Zhao's moves and defeat. His speed was shocking. The emperor's power was much stronger than that of Zhao's official family.

Later, Sun Zhao began to report on the summer tax situation. The large-scale commission of civil servants in the south last year will eventually affect the harvest. Last year, the tax fell by 30% last year, and the summer tax in the eighth year of Shenwu slowly increased by 10%.

I'm afraid that the vitality of the south will not be restored without two years of renovation.

Even so, the summer tax of the southern prefectures (including Huaiyang and Huaihai Prefectures) reached a huge number of 23 million shi, while the commercial tax reached 7 million shi.

In the north, it is quite disheartening.

The Shandong Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture, Hedong Prefecture, Hebei Prefecture, Longyou Prefecture, Shaanxi Prefecture, Jingzhao Prefecture, and the eight prefectures have a total of more than 8 million stones, and the commercial tax is only 2 million coins.

The north and south are similar, but the summer tax in the north is only 1/3 of that in the south, which can be said to be extremely shabby.

The population is similar and the tax revenue is very different. Li Jia feels the real gap between the two places from these actual numbers.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, the scale of summer tax reached 31 million shi and the scale of commercial tax reached 9 million shi, which was unprecedented.

Li Jia was generally satisfied with this number. He understood that all this was because the Transportation Office, a bureaucratic group that specialized in collecting taxes, had forced a break from the local area and sought benefits for the court.

One million coins, no white flowers.

Of course, it is only 10 million guan to convert grain into money, and the combined amount is no 20 million guan, which is still much worse than the level in the Yuanhe period.

In the army, after the Song army eliminated the old and weak, they added 20,000 more people to the imperial camp.

The scale of the imperial camp reached a huge scale of 150,000, which was a little short of the 200,000 imperial guards of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was enough to defend Bianliang.

However, due to the consumption of armor, food, robes, and other things, these 150,000 people are almost the same as 200,000 years. If you exchange food, fish, etc. for money and pay, you will reach 500,000 guan every month, which is 6 million guan a year.

As early as the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Jia asked Shaofu Temple to control the salt field and the Maritime Bureau. These two places are also important sources of money for Shaofu Temple, and are still here today.
