I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1053: GDP

At the end of the 13th year of Yongxing, Dahua’s fiscal revenue exceeded 1.4 billion.

Moreover, Dahua began to introduce the concept of gross national product, which is GDP.

However, this concept is not called GDP in Dahua.

In the past, Dahua officials measured economic development mainly based on fiscal revenue.

However, this is actually not very accurate.

For example, last year, the total wealth produced in the whole world was 100, and the Dahua tax rate was 20%, so the fiscal revenue would be 20.

This year, the total amount of wealth produced in the world is still 100, but the imperial government has increased taxes, and increased to 30%, so the tax revenue will be 30.

Fiscal revenue has increased, but the total economic volume has not developed. This cannot be said that economic development has improved. It can only be said that the country has robbed more money from the people, which has increased the burden of people's lives.

The reverse is also true. In some cases, taxes have not increased much, but in fact the total economic volume has increased a lot, but taxes have been confiscated, and wealth has remained in the private sector.

In the past, Dahua’s various statistics were relatively simple and rude, so I didn’t care about that much. It just used fiscal revenue to measure economic development.

However, as the Dahua government becomes more mature, the areas that need improvement will naturally be gradually improved.

Since fiscal revenue cannot accurately measure economic development, the concept of gross national product is introduced.

Of course, Dahua can only roughly estimate this value.

Not to mention it is now, even in later generations, this kind of data can only be estimated.

The only thing that can get accurate data is the production data of large companies, large factories, and the value data created by those who have tax records.

Like those individual small businesses, ghosts know how much money they make.

The self-employed individuals on the Guangzhou Parts Manufacturing Street look inconspicuous, but the annual production value is tens of thousands.

The guy who sells popsicle drinks in the city square looks inconspicuous, with a turnover of several thousand yuan a year.

For this part of the GDP, the government can only calculate it according to some relatively scientific and reasonable models.

It's a calculation, not a guess, the technical content in it is still very high.

According to calculations by the Bureau of Statistics, Dahua’s total production value in Yongxing for the past 13 years is about 35 billion yuan.

After seeing this result, Wu Changqing didn't believe it.

But people from the Bureau of Statistics vowed to say that this is definitely a relatively accurate figure.

"It seems that we still have to add some taxes."

Wu Changqing vomited.

Generally speaking, a country’s fiscal revenue accounts for more than 20% of GDP, indicating that the country’s tax revenue is very high, the government’s tax collection capabilities are very strong, and it is a strong government.

If this part of the tax revenue comes from the wealthy, it means that the country’s tax policy is perfect.

But if most of this part of the tax comes from the poor, it means that this country is practicing tyranny and the people are not living.

But whether it's perfect or the people don't make a living, this kind of government has very strong mobilization capabilities.

And if a country’s fiscal revenue as a percentage of GDP is less than 10%, it means that the country’s taxation capacity is very poor.

If it is because the rich people’s taxes have not been collected, it means that the country has been manipulated by financial oligarchs, and it is a bad country, such as...

If it is because the poor are not taxed, then the people of this country will live more easily.

However, it is not a good thing in the long run.

If the government’s tax revenue capacity is weak, there will be no money for infrastructure construction, and no money for strategic investment, so the development potential is poor.

In later generations, some financial institutions often evaluate the development prospects of a certain country, and one of the important indicators is the proportion of taxation.

Countries that cannot collect taxes often have little development potential.

Generally speaking, it is best for fiscal revenue to account for 15-20% of GDP.

Of course, this also scores specific circumstances.

Different countries have different standards for GDP statistics, and they cannot be generalized. When it comes to economy, it often means complexity.

In flower growers, the income of some individual small businesses and small vendors is actually not included in the statistics.

In Asan, it was a joke that cow dung was added to GDP statistics.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, the gold content of Ah San's GDP is definitely much worse than that of flower growers.

Even the gold content of GDP in developed countries in Europe and America has a lot of moisture.

Some ordinary people who don’t understand GDP see that other countries’ per capita GDP is very high and think that the other countries’ economic development is very good, but this is not accurate.

In some countries, it costs tens of Euros to send each message, and it will also be counted in the GDP.

It seems that it has increased the total value of production by a few hundred yuan, but in fact it is just helping people manage a hair, and it has not produced any actual products.

At the flower planter, I will send a dozen yuan each, and it will not be counted in the GDP.

Therefore, it seems that the per capita GDP of flower growers is very low.

But in fact, the various infrastructures of the flower planters can be used in developed countries, such as high-speed rail, payment, communications, urban services and so on.

These are among the best in the world.

If you have a lower GDP, you can say you are a developing country, and you can get some preferential policies in world trade.

The low-key and modest style of the flower grower actually takes a lot of advantage in this game rule.

Chuanjian and the desperate people said that their sisters should also become developing countries, and they insisted that the flower growers are developed countries, they are not joking, but really depressed.

Closer to home, Wu Changqing was surprised when he saw that Dahua’s fiscal revenue only accounted for 4% of its GDP.

A high proportion does not mean that the country is not good.

But if the proportion is low, it will definitely not work.

Regardless of whether the rich people are underpaid or the ordinary people are underpaid, it is not conducive to the long-term development of a country.

That's why he came up with an increase in taxes.

When those officials heard Wu Changqing say that taxes still need to be increased, they all wanted to kneel and shout that Your Majesty is wise.

Although these officials do not know how much fiscal revenue should account for, they feel it.

They intuitively felt that Dahua's tax revenue is too low.

You know, in the past, at least half of the people's income had to be turned in.

But now, the income of the people is at most 10%.

In addition, the imperial court provided seed and fertilizer to the people at a low price, which is actually tantamount to confiscation of taxes.

If this were not the case, the living conditions of the Dahua people would not have undergone such drastic changes.

An ordinary farmer can not only eat and drink enough, but also eat meat once or twice a month.

This is especially good for the little landlords in the past.

In this case, a slight increase in taxation is reasonable.
