"There are another 400 counties that meet the standards of medium-sized counties, have complete facilities, and are developing rapidly. All county officials in various places have strictly supervised the completion according to the court's indicators."

"There are nearly 300 counties left, and they are still in the lower-class counties, and even 125 counties have not met the standards of lower-class counties."

Zhang bowed and spoke first.

According to convention, if there is no war on the Seventh Army Governor's Office, there is nothing to summarize. In order to save time, if you can avoid talking at the court meeting, you will go back and talk about it.

As for civil servants to manage internal affairs and coordinate the economic development and people's livelihood development of the entire Ming Dynasty, they naturally have to report more things.

Fang Shiyu rubbed his hands and said, "One hundred and twenty-one counties in these counties exceed the 20 million treasure notes of Zhongtuan Prefecture, and they are all gathered in the Jiangnan area."

"The soil in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, convenient transportation, developed water transportation, and the court's policy support will naturally develop faster, but the court should also turn around and cannot just focus on the development of the south of the Yangtze River."

"Xiping Hou was doing a good job in Yunnan. The construction and manufacturing bureau, copper mining, and the development of Yunnan are obvious to all. Xiping Hou could develop Yunnan well, why did the imperial court not even develop well in the north?"

"Is it because the roads in the north are blocked, which is more difficult than Yunnan?" Fang Shiyu's eyes were firm. Before coming, he had already obtained a summary of various data.

There are 21 counties, 89 counties in Jiangnan, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wenzhou and other places, seven counties in Guanzhong, four counties in Huguang, eleven counties in Sichuan, five counties in Shandong, three counties in Shanxi, and only one count is in Zhili area north of the Yellow River.

The county in Zhili area is still very Zhigukou. In later Tianjin, wherever it is close to the sea, the imperial court must go wherever it takes to travel by sea. Overseas merchants come to pay tribute to trade, which inspired the local Maritime Bureau to collect a large amount of sail tax.

"The economic development of the north and the south is too polarized, and the economy of the north is in decline. Although it is not a matter of two days, since our dynasty has recovered hundreds of years of lost land, we should create a more prosperous environment for the common people on this land.

"The northern border has been fishy for more than four hundred years, and the southern economy and trade are prosperous, and the sea transportation is convenient, especially millions of times higher than the northern border. The next five-year plan will focus on the development of the northern border."

Fang Shiyu was naturally satisfied with the fact that a county tax could rival a middle-class government after the first five-year plan. This data shows that the internal economic development within the Ming Dynasty was particularly rapid.

The economic system in the south was even more tenacious. Landlords switched to business. The south was already prosperous in water transportation, and the imperial court was in Guangzhou and Suzhou Prefecture, and relaxed the maritime ban policy.

Establish a Maritime Bureau, allowing private trade to go overseas.

Of course, the tax revenue is also extremely high. Merchants in the Ming Dynasty went overseas and the seven-tax overseas tribute countries have not yet relaxed their independent purchasing with the people.

In other words, merchants in the Ming Dynasty could go overseas to do business through formal and legal channels, and trade with other countries, forces and vassal kings.

However, if other vassal kings wanted to buy bulk goods, they could only come to the central court of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and both buying and selling were in the hands of the court.

Either they stay on the island or come to the central government to pay tribute and try to buy what they want.

What can merchants send overseas?

According to the record of the Maritime Bureau, the goods that go to sea are the most popular, including porcelain, silk, and tea, porcelain, silk, and one for seven taxes, and one for three taxes.

Even with such a terrifying levy, countless merchants still obtained tax payment certificates from the Maritime Bureau and went overseas to do business. The court sent the vassal kings overseas.

Tea is not produced overseas, so let the vassal kings drink coffee? Don’t joke. In this era, tea is what people all over the world pursue. What is coffee?

After Fang Shiyu said that, the civil servants below sighed slightly, but did not refute that the economic differences between the north and the south were too large, and over time, this was not a good thing.

"Let's make a summary first, the Ministry of Works will say it first!" Fang Shiyu realized that he was anxious, but he had to be anxious. This was so cold.

Zheng Ci, the Minister of Works, nodded and bowed: "In the 15th Plan, the Ministry of Works undertakes four official roads, and arrived at Guangzhou Weiguan Road from the capital. It was basically completed. The total investment was 80 million yuan of treasure money, directly and indirectly creating jobs, 7.3 million yuan!"

"The Beijing-Ganzhou official road still needs to be sorted out to a certain extent, and it is currently stopped in the Taiyuan area. Due to the obstacles of mountains and rivers, the local population is small. It cannot support the long construction of the official road. The Beijing-Ganzhou official road must be delayed until at least the end of the sixth year of Taishi. The total investment is 30 million and 80 million guan of treasure money!"

"The official road of Beijing and Han has been built since Hanzhong, connecting Xi'an Prefecture, crossing the Yellow River, passing through Daming Prefecture, and has been completed. The total investment amount is 20 million and 90 million guan of treasure notes!"

"The official road of Liaoning in Beijing started to be built from the east gate of the capital, passed through Shanhaiguan and to the Liaohe River. It is currently basically completed, with a total investment of 10 million and 73 million guan of treasure notes."

"The four main official roads, the Ministry of Industry's budget, have invested a total of 160 million yuan of treasure notes, which lasted six years. In addition to the official roads of Beijing and Gansu, it will achieve basic effectiveness!"

"The inner city of Tai'an is built and is fully constructed. The Ministry of Works will bid for merchants. In the inner city, except for both sides of the Imperial Road main line, officials at all levels and noble houses, the imperial court will fund the construction of two Imperial Road main line. Officials at all levels, noble houses, and imperial court will fund the construction of the Imperial Road main line."

"The four corners of the inner city have adopted investment promotion methods to attract merchants to invest in the construction of residential buildings. Currently, more than 200,000 residential buildings are built, which can accommodate 200,000 households and 1.4 million people."

"The outer city adopts the same plan. Except for the main road of the Imperial Road, there are no empty areas on both sides, and the four corners are supplemented by houses. The court standard shows that the outer city should be able to build 270,000 houses, which can accommodate nearly two million people."

"In addition, the inner city and outer city are centered on the Imperial Road main line, called Long Street from north to south, Feng Street from east to east, and Taihe Gate at the intersection!"

"The main ones are two main lines, and shops are opened on the street. The inner city is divided into four districts. Each district is divided into fields, and the outer city is divided into eight districts, which is compared with the same word "tian".

"According to the plan, the inner city and the outer city will be fully completed three months before the eleventh year of Taishi, so that the people can enter the city to live!"

"The Second Five-Year Plan of the Ministry of Industry is mainly aimed at the construction work of Tai'an Prefecture, and it is fully supervising, and the project is compliant and quality assurance!"

Zheng Ci bowed and said.

Fang Shiyu took a deep cold breath and said, "In the First Five-Year Plan of the Ministry of Industry, 160 million yuan of treasure money was spent, and a lot of money was spent. Next, the Ministry of Revenue!"

The value of Baochao has recovered and has been maintained for more than six years. The court has given Baochao absolute credibility, and at the same time, it has strictly restricted the law, which has led Baochao to enter all walks of life.

Countless treasures have already spread to the 15 governors of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the original 13 governors of the two capitals, Liaodong was assigned to the Liaodong governors' office south of the Liaohe River, and the former Jianzhouwei was used as the government office, and the imperial court added a new territory of one million square kilometers.

The other one is naturally the Jiaozhi Governor, which is just the other side. Although it is transported to Linhai, it is very convenient and is also the place where the court focuses on development in its five-year plan.

It can even be said that the Jiaozhi Governor has these unique environmental conditions and policy support, but there are too few people there.

The entire provincial governor's office was the one with the lowest income and the lowest total tax among the 15 provincial governor's offices in the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with Liaodong, it is slightly insufficient.

Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Report to Your Highness, in the 15th Plan of the Ministry of Revenue, a census of the entire territory will be conducted. Except for Yunnan, there are 1,4576,000 households in the entire territory, with a total population of more than 1,240 million!"

"Except Yunnan, there are 1.43 million slaves in the entire territory, prostitutes and slaves."

"Of course, 63 million people gathered in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wenzhou, and many other Jiangnan prefectures."

"There are 21.5 million people who gather in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Most of the remaining places in Huguang are scattered in Guanzhong, Shandong, Zhongdu, etc."

"North to the Yellow River, east to the Sanguan (Nei Sanguan), west to Shanhaiguan, and in the Zhili area, there are less than 15 million ports."

"Of course, out of 15 million, there are more than 7.3 million, gathered in Tai'an."

“Population division, and its unevenness!”

Xia Yuanji said worriedly, the Jiangnan region is prosperous, it is really prosperous, and there are many people everywhere. Compared with the Yanyun area, which has been fishy for more than 400 years, the Zhili area is much better now.

If the imperial court had not had a major project in the north, the population here would probably not be 1,5 million.

The entire north of the Yellow River is not counted in Shanxi, but only 15 million people, which is not a good sign.

Fang Shiyu said: "It doesn't matter. The Ministry of Revenue thinks more about how to ensure the employment of northern people. The land measurement must also be implemented, and the land and acres of the imperial village are divided into the same land and the people moving north."

"When the economy in the north is getting better, the population will naturally increase."

Fang Shiyu said with a tough bullet.

The court's focus was indeed on the north, but even if the court tried hard, the economy in the north had been in decline for more than four hundred years. Without the efforts of three or five generations, it was impossible to achieve the speed of the south as much as possible.

Xia Yuanji said: "Your Highness, the construction of Tai'an Prefecture will be completed in three years. By then, the craftsmen and civilians in Tai'an Prefecture will have three million people without employment."

"I was forced to return home to farm, and these people, their wives and children, were able to take care of thirty acres of land, although it was a bit difficult, but they could get what they got."

"It has become a consensus that laborers work hard to make money and subsidize their household income. However, there is no major project in the court that can provide employment for millions of people."

Xia Yuanji asked out loud.

Although the construction of Tai'an Prefecture has been in place for a while, it has nothing to do with him, Xia Yuanji. What Xia Yuanji wants to take care of is the employment issue for all people in the world.

Whether it can meet the needs.

The entire Ming Dynasty quickly broke out. In another fifteen or sixteen years, when the new generation of labor force urgently needed jobs to make money, the court had no plans and no projects.

These millions, or even more than tens of millions of strong labor, are just time bombs.

Although the Ming Dynasty court made certain deletions on folk newspapers, stories, and Qiong Yao to beautify the court, this does not mean that so many people can be settled by spiritual food.

While the court vigorously supported the development of business, it popularized education. Although it did not provide education for fooling the people, it could not let these people be idle.

After all, once people get idle, there will be more thoughts and it will inevitably lead to chaos.

Fang Shiyu nodded meaningfully and said, "The employment problem is indeed a serious problem. Let's expand the number of people recruited by the official kiln and the number of people smelted."

"In addition, conduct surveys of mines and increase efforts to immigrate to Liaodong and the intersection of the site. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue can allow local counties, prefectures and officials to provide employment assistance to the people in the country."

The construction of bridges and roads, the expansion of cities, maintenance of the Yellow River, and the management of the Yellow River all require a large number of people to support it.”

"Let's hold on for decades first."

Fang Shiyu had no good idea either. He expanded the bidding project of the court, expanded the local city and repaired the capital, and invested a lot of financial resources, which should be able to tie up a large number of people.

As for the others, by more than ten or twenty years later, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't support so many people, and by that time, the Ming Dynasty had almost finished exploring the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Immigration rule is imperative.

Even Fang Shiyu had to swallow the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou by himself.

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "The Ministry of Revenue's Second Five-Year Plan will provide key support and assistance to the trade in Zhili area, and create more jobs among the people as much as possible."

"Strive to create one and a million jobs in the Zhili area, directly and indirectly, in the 25th Five-Year Plan."

"However, in addition to this, the Ministry of Revenue's 15th Plan, the tax increase quota increased by 50%, compared with the total tax revenue in Hongwu in the 28th year, 530 million guan Baochao, and 780 million guan Baochao in the fourth year of Taishi!"

"A part of Jiangnan contributes two-thirds of the total economic growth!" Xia Yuanji gave a terrifying value.

The total tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in the 28th year of Hongwu was 530 million guan, while in the fourth year of Taishi, the total tax revenue this year was 780 million guan.

While the economy is growing rapidly, Jiangnan contributed two-thirds of its economic growth. It can be seen that although Jiangnan is not the imperial capital, its commerce prosperity is

"The north is no longer suitable for growing silkworms and mulberry trees. The Ministry of Revenue should find a breakthrough by itself." Fang Shiyu felt very upset when he thought of the high growth in Jiangnan.

This does not mean that Fang Shiyu doesn’t like Jiangnan. On the contrary, no one will dislike the gentle land.

But this Jiangnan and four governors increased to the 11 governors in the Ming Dynasty, and even higher.
