"See Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin looked at the dense crowd of officials in the hall with a very calm expression.

Many officials from Chang'an saw that Yuchi Baoqi and Su Quan were present at the same time, and that they were both given seats by Li Shimin. They knew that today's year-end work report was probably not simple.

Fang Xuanling walked out of the officials holding a long account book: "Your Majesty, calculate it according to the calculation method of the Tang Dynasty's GDP given by the British Government. Last year, the GDP of the Tang Dynasty was 160 Five hundred million taels of Tang Dynasty silver coins. The population of Datang also surged last year, reaching 55 million. According to this data, the per capita GDP is three hundred taels of Datang silver coins."

Many officials were shocked when they heard this data, especially the officials in the capital in Chang'an. Although the per capita money was not as much as their own salary, it was true that in the past, the average common people had three hundred taels.

Yuchi Baoqi stood up: "Three hundred taels seems like a lot, doesn't it? This is only the value that can be created and produced per person. If you want to see whether the people's living conditions are that rich, you need to check the per capita disposable income."

"The Ministry of Accounts cannot compile such complicated data, but Baoli Commercial Bank can."

Yuchi Baoqi clapped his hands, and several general managers of Baoli Commercial Bank brought over a lot of files. The officials in the court were surprised. They did not expect that the managers of Baoli Commercial Bank's head office were all middle-aged people in their junior years. young people.

Looking above the court, many officials are already old, with white beards and hair, the contrast is obvious.

Yuchi Baoqi selected two volumes: "Let's look at the locations with the highest per capita disposable income, Jiangnan Dao, Jinling, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Wujun, and Mingzhou. What is the per capita disposable income in these areas? Three thousand seven One hundred taels of silver.”

"Looking at the lowest positions, Lingnan, Nanzhao, and Champa, the per capita disposable income is 45 taels, 45 taels!"

The officials didn't know why Yuchi Baoqi was so angry. Forty-five taels was enough in the early years, and it can be said to be very good.

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the officials who were confused and asked the chamberlain behind him to roll out a blackboard: "Next, I will introduce you to a concept, Baoli Trading Coefficient."

"A household's total food expenditure as a proportion of its total personal consumption expenditure."

"Assume that a family's monthly expenditure is twenty-five taels, of which grains, condiments and other food-related items, including candies, cans, etc., are seventeen taels."

"The coefficient of Baoli Commercial Bank is seventeen taels minus twenty-five taels, and the coefficient is 0.68. In other words, 70% of the money spent by this family is used to buy food to survive, and the remaining 30% do you think they dare to Use it?"

“Is forty-five taels per capita disposable income a lot?”

Yuchi Baoqi slammed the file on the table: "Next, the officials whose names are called will come out."

"Qizhou City, Wei Tong!"

Wei Tong took advantage of his height and took two quick steps to reach the front of the hall.

"How was the employment situation in Qizhou City last year?"

Wei Tong is not too old, but after a year and a half of hard work, his temples have turned gray and his beard has some sparse white.

"Back to the British public, the employment situation is the top priority of the entire Qizhou City. All officials of the Qizhou Governor's Office have been working hard throughout the year to find jobs for all people of working age. In order to avoid the problem of raising children for the people, Qizhou City built a total of There are thirty-two kindergartens and fifteen public schools, all children in Qizhou City should be accepted, and no one will be left behind.”

"We also encountered a lot of resistance during the work. In some families, parents, grandparents and grandmothers were unwilling to let their girls go to school. However, with the efforts of the Governor's Office to persuade them, it was finally possible for school-age children and young people to accept it. educate."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "After talking about people's livelihood, let's talk about the economic situation?"

Wei Tong didn't even need manuscripts or data, he just opened his mouth and spoke eloquently: "Last year, a lot of construction activities were carried out throughout Qizhou City, and the governor's office hired a large number of people who had been affected by the 'disaster' to provide work in exchange for relief. "

“The infrastructure supplies produced, such as steel bars, cement, mortar, gravel, asphalt, etc., are partly used for our own use and partly sold to areas in need of infrastructure construction in the Northeast. Due to our prior experience, the materials produced are of excellent quality and output, and are very popular. A lot of orders have been placed in various regions around the world.”

"Now Qizhou's main pillar industries are the production of materials related to infrastructure construction, the supply of vegetables for vegetable basket projects, and the paid expatriate guidance of technical personnel."

"Qizhou's GDP reached 2.5 billion taels last year, with a total tax of 325 million taels. Since Qizhou City is an urban planning pilot, taxes do not need to be paid."

"Most of these taxes were used for the construction of the city. I believe the British public has also heard that the city wall of Qizhou City no longer exists, and the city wall will not be considered in subsequent construction."

As soon as Wei Tong said this, all the officials in the court started talking, and there was a commotion. Li Shimin glanced at Wang De, and Wang De whipped his whip in vain, and the whole hall fell silent.

"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to not have a city wall? If we encounter a foreign enemy, wouldn't it be... defenseless?"

Su Quan, who had been sitting and listening for a long time, got up from his chair: "The entire land of Qilu is half coastal and half inland. With all due respect. I can't imagine that any army can come to the inland of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, all the good generals are We are fighting outside. Why don’t you let Prince Hejian talk to you?”

Li Xiaogong, who was suddenly called upon, trembled and walked out of the train: "Everyone, based on my humble opinion among the troops, if there is an army that can penetrate directly into the inland area of ​​Qilu, then it will definitely be able to penetrate directly into Chang'an City."

"If you want to say whether there is such an army, the only thing I can think of is the Mighty Heavenly Army that might be able to do it. But where in the world can there be another Mighty Heavenly Army?"

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly said: "If it is the Tianwei Army, does it matter whether there is a city wall or not?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shocked by Yuchi Baoqi's mighty and domineering attitude. Only Li Shimin clapped his hands and laughed boldly.

"Hahaha! Okay! My Tang Dynasty needs this kind of indomitable momentum! Everyone, does it matter whether there is a city wall or not?"

Yuchi Baoqi asked Wei Tong to return to the train: "Wei Tong, the governor of Qizhou, has devoted himself to the city of Qizhou and worked day and night for the land of Qilu. I will reward him with 50,000 taels of treasure. I hope that the governor of Wei will continue to shine and work for the people."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Yes!"

Wang De held a tray with a red cloth base and placed five thousand taels of treasure banknotes. Wang De walked down the steps slowly, slowing down in front of the officials so that they could clearly see the brand-new treasure banknotes in the tray.
