In the prosperous Kangqian era, why was only the treasury revenue rising steadily during the Yongzhe

Because Yongzheng has good financial management, when he was in power, he didn't fight much, and he didn't go to Jiangnan six times, he didn't spend money indiscriminately, and saved all the money for Qianlong.

Yongzheng reigned for more than ten years, he was diligent in governing the country, strict in the rule of officials, advocating frugality, open source and throttling, taxes were rising, and the treasury was becoming more and more full year by year, and Kangxi and Qianlong were both people who were very happy, paying attention to pomp and circumstance, extravagance and luxury, and the treasury income was certainly not as good as Yongzheng.

Because Kangxi had a lot of private visits to the microserver in his later years, the cost of going to the place was relatively high, and even if he saw the difficulties in the area during the private visit to the microserver, he would also allocate funds to them, so the people lived a rich life, and the treasury was indeed empty.

Because in the last years of Kangxi, he first conquered Geerdan, and then fought with Tsarist Russia for the Far East, and they all won victories, but it was also because of the war that the treasury was empty!

Kangqian was prosperous, but the treasury was very empty in the last years of Kangxi, because the emperor's consumption at that time was relatively high, and the people at that time collected relatively little.

The so-called prosperous era of Kangqian and Qian, especially the Kangxi era, refers to the relatively affluent living standards of the people and the relatively comfortable people, not the amount of gold reserves in the state treasury.

Kangxi was prosperous during his reign, why was the treasury tight when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne? At that time, in the last years of Kangxi, the treasury was already very tight, Kangxi carried out large-scale farmland and water conservancy construction, and the treasury was very tight.

Hello, Kangxi's prosperity is only prosperity on the surface, and there are already many problems in private, so a series of means for Yongzheng to ascend the throne are all to increase national income.

The decadent and backward late Qing Dynasty, why could his financial income still be higher than that of the prosperous Kangqian era?

As the last dynasty of China's feudal era, the corruption and incompetence of the Qing dynasty must be visible to all Chinese. If it weren't for the stupid policy of closing the country to the outside world, modern China would not have suffered humiliation for nearly a hundred years.

I don't know if you have found a problem. Although the late Qing Dynasty was mostly criticized by later generations for being corrupt and backward, its financial revenue does not seem to be less than that of the previous dynasty. For example, from the "Treaty of Nanjing" to the "Xinchou Treaty", China has paid 1.3 billion taels of indemnity alone.

This is not the end, considering the extremely extravagant life of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the later turnover of funds for the Westernization Movement, the late Qing Dynasty did not seem to be as poor as we imagined.

On the other hand, the peak of the Qing Dynasty recognized by the historical circles as the "prosperous era of Kangqian", the annual treasury income was about 30 million taels**, even during the reign of Qianlong, the maximum was only 40 million taels** a year. If the unequal treaty reparations of the late Qing Dynasty were to be put in that year, it would take at least 30 years for the people of the whole country to tighten their belts to pay it off. And when the late Qing ** reparations were paid, they didn't blink an eye, how rich was it?

It is necessary to mention the ** of these revenues. The decline in people's livelihood and national strength in the late Qing Dynasty is also obvious to all. The reason why the treasury of the Qing Dynasty was so rich was that it could not do without the exploitation of peasants, merchants and artisans.

At that time, between the collection and circulation of goods, there was a notorious Lijin system, a commercial tax. In other words, the more links in the circulation of goods, the more taxes will be levied. At that time, in order to pump water, Qing ** even set China's Lijin Bureau card as "five miles and one card" and "ten miles and one card".

If the goods are shipped from Shanghai to Guangzhou, the taxes that must be paid on the way even exceed the value of the goods themselves. At that time, there was also a saying, "When the train rings, there are 10,000 taels of gold." These Li Jin are worth it, and they can be called "tolls".

This system is no different from plundering people's fat and cream. The treasury of the Qing Dynasty was filled. But this is a brutal economic extortion of peasants, craftsmen and small and medium-sized merchants in the cities.

It seriously hindered the circulation of goods and the development of production at that time. In this case, the power of the state is in **? How can the people not complain?

1。It should be said that there was no breakthrough in Qianlong's political achievements, and it should be said that without Yongzheng's reform, he really couldn't do a lot.

2。There are two main reforms in Yongzheng, one is to spread the land into the mu, and the other is to abolish the untouchable, which is correct now, the reform was in the early years of Yongzheng, and it was over by the time of Qianlong, so there was no inheritance.

3。There are many reasons for the end, the most important being land annexation.

4。It's hard to say what he can do, but it's not bad after all, after all, he doesn't need to reform when he becomes emperor.5 Accumulation of wealth led to a recession, but it was not the main cause.

The high income at the end of the Qing Dynasty was due to the fact that more taxes were squeezed from the common people of Li Jian, coupled with the high and sullen income tax on opium, and the fees levied on the common people for building railways, so it was ten times higher than that of Qin Chi in the prosperous Kangqian period.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the financial revenue swelled sharply, and even far exceeded the prosperity of the Kangqian Dynasty, if the lord Zheng Xiang signed a series of unequal treaties with the foreign powers, he needed to pay a lot of compensation for the loss, so there were all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, depriving the people of fat and ointment.

Because at the end of the Qing Dynasty, various tax items were increased, and at the same time, taxes were also increased, desperately searching for people's fat and ointment.

Those who have read history books should know a lot about the "prosperous era of Kangqian", but in addition to these two emperors, in fact, Yongzheng is a real master of collecting moneyWhen Yongzheng ascended the throne, the treasury was actually only 8 million taels, but it only took Yongzheng 13 years to turn the 8 million taels into 60 million taels, which is not a legend.

After Jiaqing ascended the throne, he looked at the empty treasury, and his whole heart was cold, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he found that his father actually left a lot of money for himself, so he took Heshen to his houseAnd this also re-enriched the treasury, which shows how rich Heshen was at that time.

Emperor Qianlong fought many foreign wars, and there were several unnecessary battles, purely Qianlong for the sake of personal reputation and make a fuss, and even can be called reckless military force, this kind of large-scale war events, basically accompanied the entire reign of Emperor Qianlong, the event spanned as long as half a century, as the so-called "three armies have not moved, grain and grass first", each battle needs to spend a lot of financial, material and human resources, and in the final analysis, it is still financial resources.

It was because Qianlong himself lived in extreme luxury and spent a lot of wealth, so that when Jiaqing actually took power, he opened the treasury and found it empty.
