"Khan, except for Yeshik, our country has two thousand farmers, all the remaining farmers who pay taxes are in Stavropol and Kayasula provinces"

"As of November this year, there were more than 139,000 farmers in my country, more than 556,000 people in Dingkou, and more than 4.17 million mu of farmland"

"There are more than 3,090,000 mu of taxable land and 1,080,000 mu of military land, which can produce a total of 83,400,000 stones of grain, of which 1,850,000 stones of grain tax paid by the state treasury"

"In addition to supplying the needs of our brigade, the income from military farming can also support militias who are trained in turn"

"There are 152,000 herdsmen, more than 68,000 people in Dingkou, more than 1,064,000 animals, including more than 10,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 3 million horses. More than 300,000 horses can be used as war horses, and more than 700,000 horses can be used as horses"

"The herdsmen's taxes are mainly supported by nearby brigades"

"At present, in Stavropol, Aktobi City has a complete industrial and mining industry, with more than 5,000 craftsmen, and Elista has wool, leather, felt and jade industries, with about 2,000 craftsmen"

"Yeyisk has a boat shop and three hundred craftsmen"

“Manuto has wool, leather, felt industries, and there are 1,000 craftsmen”

“Culisare has wool spinning, leather, felt, asphalt industries, and there are 1,000 craftsmen”

“Custana has wool, leather, iron smelting industries, and there are 1,000 craftsmen”

(Kustana is the largest iron ore in Kazakhstan in later generations, with high grade, large output and easy to mine)

“Alar has wool, leather, felt industries, and there are 1,000 craftsmen”

"There is a boat shop with two hundred craftsmen"

"The total number of craftsmen is nearly 20,000 households and more than 100,000 people"

"Every year, the army, officials, schools, and craftsmen need to consume more than 400,000 stones of food, and the treasury surplus is 780,000 stones"

"In terms of income, the ruby ​​trade is still maintained at about 300,000 silver coins per year, and the number of flintlock guns is the same. The skin, wool, iron tools, etc. is about one million silver coins in total, and the seigniorage is minted every year, with a total of 1.8 million silver coins"

"There are about 100,000 people who need to pay salaries in our country, and they need to spend nearly 1.3 million silver coins every year, so 500,000 can be deposited!"

Qitade nodded, "That is to say, we still have nearly 800,000 stones of grain and nearly 500,000 silver coins this year?"

Su Wenyu nodded, her face filled with excitement.

Most of them were very excited, only Yan Xiangshi, Zhuang Zhihe and Fang Xiaode from the Qing Dynasty disagreed. In the Qing Dynasty, 500,000 silver coins were only 250,000 taels. Which family of the senior officials walking in the Military Affairs Office did not have so much money?

But this was an extraordinary achievement for Qitade and others.

Although these 500,000 silver coins will be quickly paid with the arrival of the New Year, they will not be able to eat the food in the end?

What's more, there are 800,000 stones of grain, which is brought by Qitade's efforts to get 50,000 farmers from Junggar land.

The role of farmers was immediately highlighted, which made everyone admire his vision and practice even more.

"Jeddah"

The remaining departments are all departments that spend money, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to speak first, so Qitade had to name the name.

Jeddah, the son of the Nogai craftsman, had only been studying with Truchen who was still hiding for three years. He was only in his twenties, but he turned into the Minister of Works of the Khanate.

Later, Qitade took the lead in drawing different people from students over 15 to enter the workshop, army, and administrative system, many people with both engineering knowledge and practical ability were actually better than him, but he could not be saved as Qitade's earliest disciple, and no one dared to say anything in this position.

Like Qitad's brother-in-law Sangkun, one of them who is far better than Jeddah in terms of skills, has only won the position of deputy minister.

This is the advantage of Long Zao.

"Yes, khan"

There is only one piece of paper in front of Jeddah.

"At present, the workshops in various cities in my country mainly meet internal needs, and the remaining production capacity is provided to the outside world"

"Stavropol City, Aktobi City is mainly used to make armaments. Now our army has all replaced new rifles, pistols, and ammunition to consume a lot, but the production of gunpowder is a bit tense..."

"What are the main aspects?"

"Sulphur and Nitrogen Powder"

"Stavropol is naturally not nervous. There are sulfur and nitrate produced locally, but Akto must extract sulfur from pyrite, and nitrate powder also needs to be provided by local nitrate piles..."

Qitade understood that things like gunpowder are not produced as much as possible, but they have to be shelf-life. Therefore, he did not promote them in his jurisdiction, but only produced them in two places.

"In this way", he thought about it, "A new nitrogen yard is set up near Culisarre, Aral, Sharkar and Custana to refine nitrogen powder. The manure water used for nitrogen is used to feed cattle, sheep and horses that the herds handed over"

The cattle, sheep and horses handed over by the herds are concentrated near the military camp and are raised by soldiers themselves, which will naturally produce a large amount of manure.

"Hundreds of people were dispatched from the prisoners to work in various nitride piles, with one hundred people in each place, and the guidance was given by the craftsmen of Aktobe."

"Okay, and, Lagan Port already has two fleets, each with five large ships, and one is secretly equipped with a steam engine. After several years of running-in, it has been updated from Truchen One to No. 5"

"There is another one that has reserved a place to place the steam engine, but it has not been installed on the machine. It is currently used as a merchant ship for the time being, I don't know..."

Qitad thought for a while, "Put it all, how many more merchant ships are there?"

"There are ten merchant ships operated by our government, all of which are large ships, and there are twenty other ships for private people to operate."

"How many people can each ship carry at most?"

"If you are equipped with a person alone, you can carry one battalion at a time. If you add a war horse, you can only carry one company"

Qitade's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "Thirty merchant ships can carry one brigade of men at a time"

Jeddah said again: "There are not many merchants in our country at present. With these 30 large ships, they can basically meet the transportation needs near the Caspian Sea. The people in the boat shop are just doing some repairs and maintenance of ships..."

“How much timber is still in stock?”

"Khan, you said last time that you wanted to build a larger ship. You have bought a lot from Persians and Azerbaijanis, but you have not made the final decision, so you put it aside"

"Well, you can't let them all be idle. Let them start building new ships. They are all used as merchant ships. Build one first and install Truchen Six for testing. I remember that this kind of ship can carry one battalion at a time, horses."

"Yes, according to our country's measurement, the previous large ships were loaded with one thousand pieces of materials and five hundred tons, while the new ships were two thousand pieces of materials, one thousand tons, and fifty meters long. They can not only carry a battalion of men, but also carry a large amount of supplies."

"How much does it cost?"

"Khan, in order to build such a large ship, we have spent a lot of money to buy ten straight Caucasian firs from the Azerbaijanis, with a length of fifty meters, one of which is one thousand silver coins"

"It would not work if this kind of ship was completely built without 20,000 silver coins"

The word "two thousand" flew into Qitade's ears, which made him shudder involuntarily.

"Good, one ship is 20,000 silver coins, and ten ships are 200,000? The remaining 500,000 will disappear"

"Well, 20,000 is only 20,000. Build one first and then let's talk about it after the experiment."

"Yes"

"In addition, there are ten ships in the Yesk Port, one of which is a fleet, mainly running cities along the Black Sea coast, and all steam engines are reserved, but none of them are installed"

"Don't install it for the time being"

Qitad knew what he wanted to say. The steam engine factory in Stavropol must have been insufficiently started, but the Sea of ​​Azov is too small, and you may encounter Russian warships and merchant ships at any time, and there is no chance to be installed on tests.

The Caspian Sea is not only extremely vast, but they only have two ports in the north, Astrakhan and Atlau, and they hardly go deep into the south, so they can naturally conduct experiments and equipment openly.
