Qian Yuqing said: "Reporting to your Majesty, currently 80,000 acres have been sold outside Tokyo, 20,000 acres have been sold in Luoyang, Xijing, 20,000 acres have been sold in Yingtian, Nanjing, and 10,000 acres have been sold by famous names in Beijing. The total land sold is

The income has not been calculated yet.”

On this point, Mei Zhili was also silent, saying that he had indeed not gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs yet.

"What about the previous property inspection in Tokyo?" Zhao Ning asked.

"So far, 800 houses have been found, with a total value of 10 million yuan, and 200 have been sold so far."

"Why can't it be sold?"

"Currently, housing prices in Beijing have dropped significantly. People who have money to buy a house are still waiting and watching, and those who don't have money can't afford it."

"Then sell them at a lower price. There is no need for these houses to be at the original price." Zhao Guanjia waved his hand, "It used to be at least 10,000 yuan a house, but now it is reduced to half, and we should sell it as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, this..." Mei Zhili immediately felt distressed.

Zhao Ning said: "The decline in housing prices in inner cities is a major trend now, so there is no need to hold back on selling."

For Zhao Ning, the money that can be seen now is money.

Because he wants to use the money immediately.

They are all gathered together in the real estate, which is useless!

Are you still waiting for further appreciation?

"His Majesty……"

"I want this money to go to war, road construction, and immigration, not to put it in a house to increase in value!"

"yes."

"Sell as many as you can. I don't believe that no one is buying the houses in the inner city!" Zhao Ning quickly calculated, "At least more than 10,000 houses in the inner city can be sold, right?"

"According to the actual situation, it is indeed."

"Then get rid of it quickly. On average, each house sells for 5,000 guan, but it can also be sold for 50 million guan. If it doesn't work, 30 million guan will do. I want to see the money immediately!"

"Yes!" Qian Yuqing said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle it immediately."

"How many people are there at Yu Yunwen's side?"

Zhang Shuye went out and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Yu Yunwen already has 50,000 soldiers and civilians in his hands, and he has built two fortresses by the Yellow River in Yinshan Mountain."

"Where's the cavalry?"

"The cavalry has increased by 5,000. Currently, there are 8,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry." Zhang Shuye said, "It is estimated that Anbei Mansion will invest 3 million guns this year. This is without a war."

"No war?" Zhao Ning said, "Do you think there will be no war in Anbei Mansion this year?"

Everyone was silent.

"In my opinion, Anbei Mansion's military expenditure this year will be at least five million dollars!"

Zhang Shuye said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I'm afraid Shaanxi..."

"Shaanxi gives 20 million!"

“What about Hebei?”

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said: "It depends on the trends of the Jin Kingdom. If Shaanxi goes north to destroy Xia, and if the Jin Kingdom dares to take action in Hebei, Hebei's expenditure will also reach 20 million yuan!"

Mei Zhili said: "Your Majesty, I don't think so many are needed."

"It's not whether you think it or not. I want to prepare sufficient military expenditures for the front line. It's one thing to use it or not, and it's another thing to have it or not!" Zhao Ning said, "With enough military expenditures, when encountering key decisions in combat,

Moment, you will feel more confident!”

"I'm afraid the money from the treasury..." Mei Zhili said, "Han Shizhong asked for 8 million guan this year, which adds up to 53 million guan. This is just military expenditure."

"How much did the silver certificate cost?"

"Sold for 20 million yuan."

“What about the income from selling the land?”

"Currently, there has been 39 million yuan in land sales income."

“How much was brought into the treasury last year?”

"There are 60 million guan in cash, and 50 million guan were used last year. Currently, the state treasury can spend 69 million guan. It is expected that by June, cash income will increase by another 30 million guan."

"Isn't this enough?" Zhao Ning was very satisfied. "99 million yuan, half of it will be used for fighting. The remaining officials will be enough to pay salaries, and the administrative expenses of various places will be sufficient. In the second half of the year, there will be some cash income. If it is enough, we will follow my instructions.

Give me the military budget I just mentioned!"

"What is money used for? Money is used to improve efficiency!"

After leaving the Wende Palace, Mei Zhili found Qian Yuqing and said, "Mr. Qian, what is the situation in the South China Sea?"

"I haven't received any news yet."

Mei Zhili said with a grimace: "Don't look at the large amount of income from land sales now, there are big moves in Shaanxi this year. No one knows how many people will die, whether Xia can be exterminated, and even if it is extinguished, how much money will be needed to invest

, these are bottomless pits, if the Jin people take the opportunity to start another war, alas!"

Qian Yuqing said with a smile: "I know that Mei Shangshu is worried."

"The land sale is a one-time sale. Once the money from the land sale is used up, it is over. In the future, you will have to rely on interrogation and taxation. If you can settle Nanhai earlier, the cash income of the national treasury can reach 80 million yuan in the past few years.

The pressure is much less.”

"Don't worry, there will be a conclusion soon, but even if the South China Sea is opened, it will take time to quickly send ships to do business and earn income. I heard that it will take a year and a half to travel from the Song Dynasty to Dashi. At the beginning, we

When there are not many ships, it is impossible to make up for the time difference." Qian Yuqing said, "But don't worry, at least there will be income from land sales to support us in the past two years, and we have this buffer."

"That's the only way." Mei Zhili coughed twice, "Your Majesty will definitely take action against Xixia this year. The whole country has no clue. If we lose, we will be in trouble."

"Don't worry." Qian Yuqing also sighed, the current situation is indeed very tense.

The core power levels within the Song Dynasty all knew that the Zhao Guan family would definitely use troops against Xixia this year.

But only the core power level knows.

Regarding the arrangement of military logistics, there is also silence.

But the people are very lively now.

The people have long been divided into two factions.

One faction is the economic faction.

It is believed that Xixia will be slowly assimilated through commerce. After all, Xixia has already accepted the payment of banknotes.

They believe that the military force of the Song Dynasty is basically the same as that of Xixia. Since they are equal, and it is unclear who will win or lose by using force, the safest option is economic engulfment.

This eliminates the need for dead people and prevents most people from having their families separated.

Song people still paid great attention to humanistic care.

When the economy controls Xixia and launches an economic war against Xixia, causing Xixia to collapse, Xixia will inevitably surrender.

The other faction is the standard Wutong faction.

This faction believed that the Dangxiang people were barbarians, and since barbarians were fearful of power and unethical, they should directly use swords to completely eradicate the Dangxiang nobles in Xingqing Mansion.

Then troops were sent to garrison, and commerce and education were used to strengthen the connection between Xingqing Mansion and the Central Plains.

The advantage of this is that it can quickly open up the Hexi Corridor and restart the Silk Road.

This has another advantage. Taking back the Hexi Corridor will greatly increase the number of war horses and open up a new battlefield to attack the grassland barbarians. It can be said that the current game of chess is completely fulfilled.

The Economist faction and the Wutong faction often quarreled fiercely in Waseli outside Donghuamen, and sometimes even fought.

Regarding these, in fact, Xixia's craftsmen lurking in Tokyo have long been numb.

When everyone in the Xixia court heard for many years that the Song Dynasty wanted to destroy Xixia, they thought it was because the Song people were obsessed with prostitution every day.

People in Tokyo are talking about things that haven't happened yet, but at this time, some big things are really happening.

On April 13th, Srivijaya's envoy arrived at Lingya Gate.

At the same time, Srivijaya forcibly mobilized fifty warships and ordered the thirty warships that went to ancient Siam to quickly go south to rendezvous.
