Chapter 295: Budget

By the end of the year, six ministries and various new departments are calculating the budget funds required for the coming year.&1t;/p>

The budget was first made by military expenditure and administrative expenditure. In terms of military expenditure, as four border towns have been abolished, the Central Army began to implement a compulsory military service system, and military expenditures were effectively controlled. However, due to the accelerated establishment of the production corps and the navy plans to start a war against the Dutch in the coming year, the military budget still reached 400,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

"Now the production corps is enough to replace the nine-sided military households, and the nine-sided military households can be completely abolished in the sixth year of the Tianqi period. At the same time, each province has established a garrison army, and all the garrison offices in each province can be abolished. However, considering the issue of military households being transferred, the abolition of the garrison offices in the Guannei can be carried out in three years, and a batch of abolitions will be abolished every year. Three years later, the national garrison offices will be completely abolished, and the military household registration will be completely abolished."&1t;/p>

"This plan is implemented." Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed to the military budget set out by the commander-in-chief, which has already reduced the plan.&1t;/p>

The military order system is no longer suitable for the current Ming Dynasty, or the officers and soldiers of the military order system are no longer combat-effective. Instead, these military households have become some hidden time bombs, and no one knows when they will explode.&1t;/p>

The system adopted by Zhu Youxiao is similar to that of later China.&1t;/p>

Armed police forces have begun to be established in Beizhili and other new policy areas to strengthen local government control over local areas.&1t;/p>

There are also garrison brigades to suppress internal unrest.&1t;/p>

Production Corps, responsible for guarding the border and producing.&1t;/p>

There are also twenty-five infantry divisions and ten cavalry divisions, which are field troops, and can be transferred to various battlefields to participate in the war at any time.&1t;/p>

During the special period of the critical survival of the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of soldiers must be guaranteed. The demise of the Ming Dynasty was a loss of military morale on the one hand and a loss of people's morale on the other hand.&1t;/p>

As long as the soldiers do not rebel, other groups will not cause too serious damage to the social production order. However, once the soldiers rebel, the destructive power will be too great.&1t;/p>

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for soldiers to rebel. As long as they have a bite of food, they will not force them to death.&1t;/p>

Now that the compulsory military service system is adopted, soldiers have sufficient food guarantees. At the same time, when marching and fighting, there are sufficient logistics guarantees.&1t;/p>

Now the military system in the Ming Dynasty is currently in the Ming Dynasty, ≥∮ding≥∮point≥∮small≥∮speak, .≈.≤o&1t;    s="arn:2p    o     2p    o">&1t;srp     p="/aasrp">s_();&1t;/srp>&1t;/> under the gradual rectification of Zhu Youxiao, it is unlikely that the soldiers will rebel because they are not full. It is impossible for the army to mutiny halfway because they have no logistics support halfway.&1t;/p>

Because the equipment cost of the Ming army has been greatly reduced, musketeers have become the main military and are no longer equipped with iron armor, so the equipment cost has naturally decreased a lot.&1t;/p>

What has been improved are the treatment of officers and professional soldiers, and the Navy's military expenditure is increasing year by year. The training costs of the 6th Army and the Navy have also increased.&1t;/p>

40 million military expenditures are basically enough.&1t;/p>

The administrative cost estimate submitted by the cabinet reached 30 million yuan. The increase in administrative costs is an inevitable result of institutional reform.&1t;/p>

Civil servants have been added in the new policy area, police, armed police, tax bureau, and courts have been added. There are also some small departments, and township governments have been added.&1t;/p>

In addition, the treatment of officials has been increased. The administrative costs are naturally rising.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Ming Dynasty system had been divided by Zhu Youxiao, and was roughly divided into new policy areas and traditional regions. Zhu Youxiao's control over the northern provinces is also increasing. No one knows one day that the northern provinces will be included in the new policy system.&1t;/p>

The southern aristocratic people occupied the area, and Zhu Youxiao's temporary attitude revealed some compromise, because Zhu Youxiao's old system in the southern provinces had no intention of moving.&1t;/p>

Some members of the Southern Aristocratic clans have clearly realized that the emperor will not be allowed to let the southern provinces care and will definitely be reformed in the end.&1t;/p>

However, the emperor did not burn the fire to the southern gentry after all. The southern gentry combined with capital also showed the weak characteristics of capitalism and did not dare to join forces to resist the emperor to carry out the new policy in Northern Zhili and Northeastern regions.&1t;/p>

The best treatment of officials is in the newly recruited areas, but the anti-corruption in the new policy areas is also the strictest. At the same time, the inability of officials to do business has become an unspoken rule in the officialdom in the administrative area. This unspoken rule is the party program of the Han Huang Party. Although only restraining Han Huang Party officials within the Han Huang Party, if existing officials in the new policy areas do business, it will basically not take long to be removed from office.&1t;/p>

The second is the officials of northern provinces. Officials such as the top leaders also have the benefits of high salaries and low-income benefits. But they are also not allowed to do business, and their families can't do business.&1t;/p>

Southern officials have not yet enjoyed the policy of maintaining high salaries and maintaining integrity, but anti-corruption is still being carried out. At this time, Zhu Youxiao did not expect officials from various southern provinces to raise taxes, but only asked them not to use administrative means to exploit the people.&1t;/p>

Of course, this is easy for those officials of the Southern Aristocratic League to do, because the Southern Aristocratic League has developed into a bureaucratic capital class. With the combination of officials and businessmen, these officials naturally do not have to directly embezzle them, so that their families can make money by doing business. Under the cover of power, many industries need these powers to serve as the entry threshold.&1t;/p>

They only need to act as an image of god, either not to be corrupt or to be careless.&1t;/p>

Therefore, many of the officials from the Southern gentry looked very honest. Sometimes it is difficult to catch their handles against corruption, and they would not charge them if they were asked to collect taxes. They were mandatory to collect commercial taxes, and they would stop when they reached the indicators, and they would deal with the central government.&1t;/p>

Behind such integrity is the more serious collusion between officials and businessmen. These gentry have monopolized a large number of social resources and become a serious cancer.&1t;/p>

Cutting these cancers requires a great deal of pain. Zhu Youxiao is currently raising these southern gentry as pigs. Anyway, they will vomit out any amount of money and profit after eating. So there is no rush to deal with these southern gentry for the time being. The most important thing is to put the Ming Dynasty in a stable state first.&1t;/p>

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao focused his main energy on the management of the new policy areas and first built a mature new policy system.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, reform has gradually been subtly accepted by all classes in Northern Zhili, and some classes have to accept it even if they do not accept it. The resistance to reform in Northern Zhili is getting smaller and smaller, while in areas such as the Northeast where vested interest class forces are blank, reform has even less resistance.&1t;/p>

Administrative costs have increased. On the one hand, the new policy areas have increased significantly. On the other hand, the northern provinces have increased slightly, while the administrative costs in the southern region have not increased at all.&1t;/p>

Anyway, those officials from the gentry look very honest and do not need any high salary to support the innocent. That is just a waste of money!&1t;/p>

With the expansion of the new policy area, administrative costs will be further increased in the future.&1t;/p>

The increase in the cost of the new policy is not a bad thing. Only high investment can bring high returns, finance can collect, and the official has enough control to develop the economy and people's livelihood.&1t;/p>

When the official has controlled enough resources, it will be easier to change the current chaotic social values.&1t;/p>

After the Ministry of Personnel’s administrative cost budget of 30 million yuan, the Ministry of Revenue also had to use a disaster relief budget of 30 million yuan and clarified the principles of disaster relief.&1t;/p>

The disaster relief in the north is to exempt agricultural taxes, immigration, and work-for-relief as the core method, while the disaster relief in the south is to exempt taxes, grain, and immigration.&1t;/p>

The northern disaster relief is no longer direct food, but is carried out through the labor-for-relief model, mainly because the central government has improved its control over the local area. For those special disaster-affected groups, disaster relief supplies are still directly released.&1t;/p>

The imperial court still lacks control over the southern provinces, and it is easy to cause a lot of trouble by using labor for relief, so it is simply done by grain and immigration.&1t;/p>

The basic principle is that no one can starve to death, a huge sum of 30 million yuan. In theory, this can be achieved, and it depends on the specific implementation.&1t;/p>

The Ministry of Industry has come up with a highway construction plan that connects the northern provinces. At the same time, in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's requirements, it has come up with a plan for the Yellow River governance, and at the same time, it has large-scale water conservancy construction projects in various northern provinces, and has applied for a fiscal budget of 100 million yuan.&1t;/p>

Next year, the Ministry of Industry will bid for the main roads that run through various provinces, and build the main roads that run through various provinces within three years. At that time, heavy carriages can carry cargoes unimpededly in all northern provinces.&1t;/p>

Transportation must be continuously improved. There is no train yet, so it is still okay to use heavy carriages to make do with it. This time, the Ministry of Industry's construction project branch is in northern provinces, and is also preparing for larger-scale construction in the future.&1t;/p>

Because the banknotes are already very fast, as long as there is a year of excessive growth, inflation can be carried out later. The method of inflation is to build a large number of projects, so as to directly spread the money to the lower-level workers, and then the production scale of goods needed by the lower-level people.&1t;/p>

For example, grain!&1t;/p>

Water conservancy projects are naturally the top priority. In the case of constant natural disasters, water conservancy projects are particularly important. The Yellow River has reached a stage where it has to be managed. The Yellow River area is full of disasters every year, which has a great impact on social stability.&1t;/p>

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already begun to transfer finances to subsidize those economically backward provinces, thereby achieving an overall stable situation.&1t;/p>

It is unlikely that the southern provinces will be in chaos. The southern gentry has formed a highly autonomous system and has a subtle social welfare system. As rulers, the southern gentry naturally cannot make the southern provinces chaotic.&1t;/p>

Major water conservancy construction projects in northern provinces will no longer be built by corvee, but will be built through recruitment.&1t;/p>

The remaining 90 million yuan budget and 30 million yuan allocated to education, which is only the first time the official has been investing in education.&1t;/p>

The remaining 60 million yuan is used for all expenses.&1t;/p>

The royal family has too many people, and the salary alone costs more than 10 million yuan. In the past, these salary were mainly used directly with grain, but now it is not about food, but directly with money.&1t;/p>

Social welfare, as well as vegetation restoration, sanitation investment, and various miscellaneous expenses in the north, add up to the budget.&1t;/p>

The bank plan for the banknote has been taken out, and Zhu Youxiao has also completed the preparations for the nationalization of the Royal Bank.&1t;/p>

Royal Bank is very easy to nationalize, it is nothing more than turning the senior management of Royal Bank into government officials, and nothing else.&1t;/p>

After all, Royal Bank was established by the emperor.&1t;/p>

After the nationalization of the Royal Bank, the royal family retained only 5% of the shares and had the right to make decisions.&1t;/p>

In fact, a lot of paper money have been printed. This thing has been prepared since Zhu Youxiao established the Royal Bank. In a few years, the Royal Bank has also successfully developed some new technologies for anti-counterfeiting of banknotes.&1t;/p>

After the Spring Festival, Royal Bank can be officially nationalized and a banknote named "Tianqi Baochao" in parallel. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
