The Police Academy was also established along with the Officers' and Non-Commissioned Officers Academy. As with the comprehensive universities required by the provinces, each province must have at least one formal police academy.

The military academy is incapable of providing the two aspects of criminal investigation and the legal system required for the establishment of the school, and the personnel are all filled with veterans drawn from various places. However, the military can provide the instructors in grappling and shooting that the police academy needs, as well as the instructors in tracking, investigation, and other disciplines. Isn't it just the use of those military backbones and elite veterans of reconnaissance units in police academies to get used for things?

In the seventh year of the new Qin, Enke ended, and Liu Xian also got the financial summary of the cabinet. This year's fiscal expenditure totaled 42 billion yuan, and the fiscal revenue exceeded 30 billion yuan.

The fiscal deficit for the whole year is $11,876 million, but the real fiscal deficit is less than $8 billion. Because in addition to the national taxes, there are so many large and small state-owned enterprises in the annual income of the new Qin court.

The 4 billion yuan profit handed over has eliminated a large part of this year's fiscal deficit. This still leaves enough development funds and reserve funds for the state-owned enterprises of various countries, and if all the profits of the whole year are handed over, it is possible to smooth out the fiscal deficit for a year.

How much profit can steel mills make in a year? There are also textiles and shipyards, railways, salt, transport, ...... and, finally, the profits of several state-owned banks. The latter, the Ministry of Finance, did not allow them to pay profits to the top.

The country's fiscal deficit was reduced to less than 10 billion yuan in the first year, and Liu Xian had a very happy year. What's more, the children who studied in the United States returned to China one after another. All of them were used in the most critical positions. Zhan Tianyou and Ouyang Geng, who Liu Xian remembered in his heart, received an invitation letter from the Railway Department as soon as he returned to China, and the two directly hung the sign of the railway quality inspection team of the Ministry of Communications. I went down to the front line to supervise the quality of the railway project.

However, looking at the overall fiscal deficit, military spending and officials' spending are really two aspects that cannot be underestimated. The number of officials and officials at all levels in the new Qin has greatly increased, and the expenditure of Yulu has naturally increased greatly. The combination of all aspects in this way contributes a large amount to the deficit of 8 billion yuan.

Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses, the three major troubles encountered in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the new Qin dynasty, it can be said that it was encountered.

However, we don't need to focus entirely on the deficit, and we should also pay attention to the Empire's fiscal revenue this year while looking at the fiscal problems. More than 30 billion Chinese dollars, that's 300 million silver dollars. 200 million taels of silver. Far more than the amount of annual income of the Qiē Dynasty in history.

Liu Xian lamented the increasing fiscal deficit, but he definitely appreciated the empire's finances.

Over the course of a few years, the rapid economic recovery and recovery of the Central Plains and Jiangnan was the most basic foundation for ensuring the imperial fiscal revenue. Xinqin raised the business tax rate. Reduction of agricultural tax rates. The reorganization of salt sales gradually increased the financial income of the empire. Liu Xian once again had strong confidence in the day when the balance of payments came.

Three tens of billions is definitely not the peak of the empire's fiscal revenue, and this amount will continue to expand and continue to expand.

In the eighth year of the New Qin Dynasty, in June 1884 of the Western calendar, China was not invaded by any foreign enemy. Only the British's relations with Burma were getting worse. At the same time, heavy rain fell in Lianghuai and Henan, and it rained continuously in the following month, and the flood caused by the heavy rain did not break the Yellow River and Huaihe embankments after repairing and penetrating. But it also firmly touched the hearts of Liu Xian and the entire cabinet.

In such a place, once the levee bursts. Flooding, the consequences are unimaginable!

And when the floods within the empire completely subsided, the autumn grain was harvesting season again.

Far north of Siam, Chiang Rai.

In the capital Chiang Rai, in a magnificent mansion, Shi Dakai, who is over half a hundred years old, is quietly looking at a huge map hanging on the back wall. This is a military map of the entire Indochina Peninsula, including part of Yunnan and Guizhou.

The territory occupied by the Taiping army was just a small red patch on it. And its north, Shi Dakai is not daring to covet, last year's Beijing military parade, Shi Dakai stood on the tower of Tiananmen Square, the elite of the national defense force, the spirit of the full and excited, let his heart shake greatly.

In recent years, the Taiping Army has also been reorganized. Only a third of the original army of more than 300,000 men remained, but all of them were equipped with first-class weapons. The purely hand-to-hand army was completely withdrawn from the sequence of the Taiping army.

Of the 100,000 people, Shi Dakai directly controlled 30,000 people, and his subordinates were 30,000 people. Therefore, for the Taiping forces entrenched in the border areas of Siam, Burma and Laos, Shi Dakai is still their unshakable leader.

But there is not enough food in this area. The entire Taiping Army system has a population of more than one million. Since occupying Chiang Rai Province, 'collecting grain' from Burma and Siam every year has become a compulsory course for the Taiping Army.

Now everyone knows what kind of storage the Taiping Army is, although no one has said it clearly.

Shi Dakai can still live a leisurely life now, it must have thrown off the British and hugged Xin Qin's thighs again.

With Xinqin behind him, the strength of the Taiping Army itself was so strong that Burma and Siam did not dare to squeak, and it became logical for those two countries to be bullied. Moreover, the Taiping army was not thirsty for fishing, and the grain they 'harvested' was still a very small part of the total grain output of Siam, Burma, and Laos.

Burma has been armed, but the spearhead is the British. For this reason, the Burmese king Xipao also had to make more arrangements to the Taiping army, hoping that the Taiping army could save Burma's life if necessary. As for Xinqin, forget it, at the beginning, it was Myanmar who took the initiative to alienate China, and now licking the face is to stick the cold buttocks, and it will only brighten the hot face, not the cold buttocks.

What about Siam? In the past two years, the new army has developed rapidly, and there are now 30,000 troops. That's Chulalongkorn behind it, with the support of Britain and France. But alas, the Siamese were too incapable of fighting. The Taiping army went to collect grain every year, and there was some friction between the two sides, and without exception it was the victory of the Taiping army. And there are many good shows staged with outnumbered people!

Therefore, although Siam has a new army of 30,000, it still endures and endures the Taiping army.

This year, Shi Dakai had a task, and Liu Xian directly sent him a report to give him the task -- to expand the friction with Siam, and to see the opportunity to give Siam a lesson that was not too heavy but not too light.

got the telegram from Liu Xian, and Shi Dakai immediately understood. This must be something Chulalongkorn has done to make Liu Xian unpleasant. It's going to knock and knock Siam yourself.

Shi Dakai gladly accepted the task. This will definitely make the Taiping Army's harvest in the second half of this year skyrocket. Shi Dakai, who had already accepted the facts, was not ashamed of being a gunman for Liu Xian at all. Shame can't be exchanged for the survival of the Taiping army, and it can't be exchanged for military food, grass, guns and ammunition.

Shi Dakai got the telegram and passed down the order on the same day, he wanted to know why Siam had made Liu Xian unhappy. His eyes were also watching Bangkok, but he didn't get any news, but he only realized it after getting the message from Beijing, which reflected a lot of things. But it doesn't matter!

Shi Dakai, who completely lowered his posture, was more concerned about what Chulalongkorn had done to bring this disaster to Siam.

Then today there was news that Chulalongkorn was preparing to build a modern navy in Siam. Rumor has it that Chulalongkorn has ordered a small fleet in the UK, but for a tiny 10,000 baht!

What kind of navy can you do with 5,000 oceans? This is complete. If the rumors are true, it can only be said that Siam is going to get involved with the British. If Beijing can endure it, it will be strange!

The bamboo weaving in Shi Dakai's hand knocked hard at a certain point on the map. "Is Chulalongkorn dizzy? He forgot the reason why Siam was able to save zài, right? Oriented to the British? Find your own death! ”

Shi Dakai has determined the goal of the battle!

……

Shanghai Shiliupu Wharf.

"Mr. Michael, this is Boss Chen of Shunchang Company......"

"Haha, Mr. Michael, it's been hard to come all the way from afar."

"Hello, Mr. Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you......" The greeted was very happy, and the boss of Shunchang Company was able to come to the dock to greet him in person, which showed the importance of Shunchang Company.

"Mr. Michael, this is the representative of my partner, Mr. Huang......"

"Welcome, Mr. Michael. I represent my grandfather. ”

"Tledge, my old friend, I'm so excited to see you. Is Mr. Blair okay? ……”

"Dear Miliana. It's such a pleasure to meet you. Crossing the ocean is not an easy task. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Blair is in good shape. ”

This seems to be just a very ordinary businessman who comes to China. Although Michael is French. The French in China are now far less numerous than the British, German, and American businessmen in China.

"Mr. Blatter sent a telegram saying that your company is going to buy a large amount of hydrophenol in China, and the price is negotiable. As long as you can sell it to them! Tritch said a few polite words, and the words went straight to the deal.

"Yes, my friend. Our company needs a lot of phenol. ”

"But isn't that thing used for dye? Will France be short of phenol? Need your company to come to China to collect a lot of this kind of stuff? ”

"I don't know why. All I know is that in France now, phenol is very popular in the market. The price has risen by 30% and there is no market. Michael shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't hiding anything, but he really didn't know what made phenol so popular in the market. The only thing he could determine was that there was an opportunity to make a big profit. For a businessman, that's all that matters.

Maybe phenol is of some other use, but what does it matter to him?

He came to China with his wife to make money and a perfect trip, not to study and research. (To be continued......)
