The Ministry of Education received a budget of 800 million yuan this year, while other departments received a budget of 1.1 billion yuan, of which the Ministry of Construction received 600 million yuan, and the Ministry of Construction will continue to build infrastructure in urban and rural areas next year.

As for the Ministry of Education, 600 million yuan of this year's budget of 800 million yuan will be used for internal education, mainly to educate school-age children and teenagers, and to focus on literacy eradication among young people.

The other 200 million yuan will be used for education in other provinces, and in addition to the 400 million yuan from the customs, the education funds of other provinces will also reach 600 million.

After nearly three years of teacher training, the Ministry of Education finally has a large number of teachers at this time, although the quality is not too good, but the quality of teachers is absolutely passable, the quality of teachers is not only the slogan, but also the mandatory surname requirements. At present, education is mainly based on quality education and literacy, which has been able to meet the current needs of tilting educational resources to other provinces.

In the view of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, it is only a matter of time before the East China Autonomous Political Axe unifies the whole country in the future, and education naturally does not distinguish between inside and outside.

…… At this time, many reporters have gathered in East China Square, all of whom are waiting for the results of this year's budget meeting.

This year's situation is very different from the past, and the people of the seven provinces in East China are highly united at this time, because of the war!

It is also because we have entered the golden age of industry, and the rapid development of industry has increased the number of jobs sharply, which has also raised the wages of workers.

In addition to the rapid development of agriculture, the problem of food and clothing has been rapidly resolved, the quality of life of the people in the seven provinces has been improved, and the public order situation has also become good due to the rapid improvement and standardization of the law and the establishment of the social security system, and the internal contradictions have basically been eliminated. The advent of war has made people highly united with the political axe.

The soldiers of the seven provinces have gone to the front line, and people still hope that the political axe can concentrate on winning this war, and according to the news of the party, the government axe will allocate 600 million yuan to deal with the war in Shandong.

The exchange rate of the Yuan and the Fuxing Dollar is very similar, and both are based on the value of the Silver Dollar, and 600 million Yuan is equivalent to 600 million Fuxing Coin.

The reason why he had so much money was obviously because Britain had given him a war loan. The East China Army will face a very severe test on the Shandong battlefield, after all, it is 600 million.

According to the analysis of some media, China's national strength has surpassed that of the capital, and in terms of taxation, although the tax revenue of the East China Autonomous Political Axe was still less than that of the capital the year before last, it exceeded the tax revenue of the capital last year, and this year the tax revenue of the East China Political Axe has increased the tax revenue in terms of personal income tax, coupled with the bumper agricultural yield and the great development of industry, the fiscal revenue is definitely far greater than the capital.

The budget for next year will reach 3 billion yuan, and this is because the Entente received orders from the Entente and Britain provided war loans, so the budget has increased dramatically.

The major media predict that the budget of the East China political axe next year will be at least more than 5 billion yuan, because the orders received by the East China political axe have exceeded 500 million pounds, and in terms of the high profits of war materials, it is completely possible for the political axe to withdraw half of it, and the income from these orders alone can make the East China Autonomous Political Axe have a financial budget of about 2.2 billion yuan.

A budget of five billion seems entirely possible to people, but their guess is completely wrong.

At the end of the budget meeting, which lasted for half a day, most of the expenditure budgets of the major departments were announced, while the budgets of the army, navy, and air force were kept secret, but the total amount was still announced, and part of the 15-year "National Defense White Paper" was also announced.

The total budget for the past 15 years has not reached the expected more than 5 billion, but only 2.7 billion, of which 600 million belongs to the war support of the East China bloc.

If we add the 400 million yuan from the customs, this year's budget for East China's political axe will only exceed the 100 million yuan. However, this year, the government in East China has increased its spending on education again, and together with the revenue from the customs, the amount spent on education in China has reached 1.2 billion yuan, four times that of two years ago.

As for the funds used for armaments, the total amount of funds used by the three armed forces is only 700 million.

According to the contents disclosed in the "15-year National Defense White Paper," the construction of the East China Army is tilting toward the navy, because it has a sentence: "Within five years, we will build a navy that can compete with the great powers." ”

At the same time, the "White Paper on National Defense" of the East China Political Axe for the first time included the issue of border provinces, and the East China Political Axe will no longer focus on building defense within the scope of autonomy, and the defense object will be transferred from the Beiyang Political Axe to the surrounding countries. It is also planned to solve the border problems in Northeast China, Mongolia, Xinjiang Province, Tibet Province, Yunnan Province and other regions within three years.

And this year, a force of 3,000 people will be sent to Xinjiang Province to surround the safety of the Han people in Xinjiang Province.

Since the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the Han people in Xinjiang Province have been massacred by ethnic minorities, and the number of Han people in Xinjiang Province has dropped by nearly one-third, making it the most urgent area to send troops into Xinjiang Province to protect the Han people.

The promulgation of the financial budget of the East China Autonomous Political Axe and the "15-Year National Defense White Paper" has aroused heated discussions in the media circles, and many people believe that the East China political axe should invest more in military spending, after all, next year's fiscal revenue will inevitably increase sharply, so why not embezzle some of it in advance?

In addition, some people have seen a different message in the "15-year National Defense White Paper," which is a strategic change in the political axe of East China's autonomy.

In addition, the East China Autonomous Government has invested as much as 600 million yuan in education funds from other provinces this year, which is already on par with the internal education funds of the seven provinces.

This means that it is likely that the East China Autonomous Axe is already preparing for a war of unification.

It is possible to achieve unification either by absolute force or by moderate means.

Soon the news came out from the Ministry of Administration that nearly 30,000 administrative personnel would be recruited for this expansion, and these administrative personnel would be trained intensively for one year, and then put into grassroots training for backup.

The political axe of East China has always been simple and efficient in terms of administration, and the current number of administrative personnel is completely sufficient for the internal administration of the seven provinces.

At this time, the mentality of the East China Autonomous Political Axe has undergone great changes, and the East China Autonomous Political Axe no longer regards the Beiyang Political Axe as a competitor, or the Beiyang Political Axe cannot threaten the East China Political Axe at all, because the strength of the Beiyang Political Axe is too poor. East China's political axe began to set its sights on the international field and began to pay attention to overall national defense.

Moreover, the national defense white paper of the East China Political Axe was unilaterally formulated, completely bypassing the Beiyang Political Axe, which shows that the East China Political Axe does not take the Beiyang Political Axe seriously at all.

However, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang political axe has no sense of this, Yuan Shikai is immersed in the layout of the yellow robe, and a large part of the actions of the East China Autonomous Political Axe have exceeded their level. In the eyes of Beiyang Zhengaxe, it's just that Xia Jun is more than two hundred and five, after all, increasing education funds to other provinces and sending troops to Xinjiang Province to protect the Han people are all thankless tasks.

And he said that he was wantonly increasing military spending, and he didn't make any effort to increase military spending even if he had money, isn't this two hundred and five?

However, the East China Political Axe said in the "Fuxing Daily" that these military expenditures were enough to clean up the trouble.

East China's political axe showed such a strong confidence, but in the eyes of many people, it was a sign of pride and arrogance, especially Yuan Shikai, who thought that Xia Jun was stunned and coquettish after winning a game, and he would definitely have to make a big deal after the war with Yuben next year.

This made Yuan Shikai more convinced, as long as the East China Army was defeated in Shandong, then the biggest obstacle on his way to becoming emperor would be eliminated.

At this time, the Yanjing press was vigorously advocating the imperial system, which was mainly arranged by Yuan Keding, who indulged many newspapers in the Yanjing press circle.

Some restorationists apparently saw the light of day, and they thought that Yuan Shikai was going to put the little Puyi emperor in the palace on the throne again.

The remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also began to join the ranks of advocating the imperial system, which made the voice of restoring the imperial system more and more intense.

These old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty obviously didn't know that Yuan Shikai wanted to ascend the throne by himself, and some of the old and young people even began to donate money to the Beiyang political axe, and many of the old and young people were very generous.

What can be met is that if Yuan Shikai is called emperor, these Manchu widows and young people who reacted to being deceived will definitely grit their teeth and hate Yuan Shikai to the core!

On the question of whether or not to restore the imperial system, public opinion within the seven provinces of East China Autonomous Region was also divided.

Many newspapers have joined the imperialist movement, while some have expressed anti-imperialism, but not too much.

Even newspapers such as the Declaration began to preach the benefits of the imperial system. The declared view was: "China must have a spiritual sustenance that will make its citizens loyal, so it is imperative to restore the imperial system." ”

Yuan Shikai was very happy after reading the public opinion of the seven autonomous provinces in East China, thinking that he was supporting him in carrying out the imperial system, and even more erroneously believed that the restoration of the imperial system was deeply popular.

However, things are not as simple as Yuan Shikai thought.

The premise of the imperial system advocated by the seven provinces of East China is to make Xia Jun the emperor, but the newspapers did not specify this, and in the eyes of these newspapers, who is more suitable than the chairman of the Chinese emperor to restore the imperial system? The chairman of the committee became the emperor, and he must be the first emperor of the ages.

The imperial system advocated by the press in the seven provinces of East China was widely supported by the people of the seven provinces of East China, who all believed that the seven provinces of East China needed an emperor.

However, the newspapers in the seven provinces of East China did not realize that the imperial system advocated by Yanjing was to make Yuan Shikai emperor. And Yuan Shikai didn't understand that the imperial system advocated by the East China press wanted Xia Jun to be the emperor. The old and young remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty realized that the imperial system advocated by both sides had nothing to do with the little emperor Puyi.
