By the end of the year, the six departments and the additional departments were calculating the budgetary resources needed for the coming year.

The first thing to be budgeted for is military expenditure and administrative expenditure, and with the abolition of four border towns, the Central Army has begun to implement the compulsory military service system, and military expenditure has been effectively controlled. However, due to the acceleration of the formation of the production corps and the fact that the navy planned to start a war against the Dutch in the coming year, the military budget still reached 40 million yuan.

"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 apocalypse. At the same time, garrisons were set up in all provinces, and the guards in each province could be abolished. However, in consideration of the problem of changing military households, the closure of the internal guard can be carried out in three years, with a batch of layoffs each year. Three years later, the National Health Center was completely abolished, and the military household registration was completely abolished. ”

"Just follow this plan." Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed with the military budget taken out by the high command, and the plan for reducing expenditure has been made.

The guard system is no longer suitable for the current Ming Dynasty, or the officers and soldiers of the guard system no longer have combat effectiveness. Instead, these military households have become some hidden time bombs, and no one knows when they will explode.

The system adopted by Zhu Youxiao today is similar to that of later China.

Beizhili and other New Deal areas have begun to set up armed police forces to strengthen the local government's control over the local government.

At the same time, there are garrison brigades, which are used to suppress internal unrest forces.

The production corps is responsible for border guarding and production.

In addition, there are 25 infantry divisions and 10 cavalry divisions, which are field armies that can be transferred to various battlefields at any time to participate in battles.

In the special period when the Ming Dynasty was in danger of survival. The treatment of military personnel is to be guaranteed. The fall of the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, it has lost the morale of the military. On the one hand, it has also lost the support of the people.

As long as the soldiers do not rebel, the rebellion of other groups will not cause too serious damage to the social production order, but once the soldiers rebel, the destructive power will be too great.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for soldiers to rebel, as long as they have a bite to eat, they will not be forced to die.

Nowadays, the compulsory military service system is adopted, and the soldiers are fully guaranteed in terms of food. At the same time, when the army is marching and fighting, there is also sufficient support in logistics.

Today, the military system of the Ming Dynasty is under the gradual rectification of Zhu Youxiao. It is already unlikely that there will be a rebellion because the soldiers do not have enough to eat. It is also impossible to cause the army to mutini halfway because there is no logistical support halfway through.

Because the cost of equipment in the Ming army has also been greatly reduced, musketeers have become the main type of troops, and they are no longer equipped with iron armor or anything, and the cost of equipment has naturally dropped a lot.

What has improved is the treatment of officers, as well as the treatment of professional soldiers, and at the same time, the military expenditure of the Navy is increasing year by year. The Army and Navy have also increased the cost of training.

The military expenditure of 40 million is basically enough.

The Cabinet submitted an estimate of administrative costs of $30 million. This is an inevitable consequence of institutional reform.

The New Deal area has increased the number of civil servants, and the police, armed police, tax bureaus, and courts have been added. There are also some small departments, and at the same time the township government has been added.

In addition, the remuneration of officials has been improved. Naturally, administrative costs are rising.

At this time, the Ming system has been cut off by Zhu Youxiao, roughly divided into the new deal area and the traditional region, the traditional system area, Zhu Youxiao's control over the northern provinces is also rising, no one knows which day the northern provinces will be included in the new deal system.

The southern scholars are entrenched in the region, and Zhu Youxiao's attitude for the time being reveals some flavor of compromise, because Zhu Youxiao has no intention of moving the old system in the southern provinces at all.

Some members of the Southern Scholars had clearly realized that the Emperor would not be able to leave the southern provinces alone in the end, and that he would definitely be reformed in the end.

However, after all, the emperor did not burn the fire on the heads of the southern scholars, and the southern scholars who were combined with capital also showed the weak characteristics of capitalism, and did not dare to join forces to resist the emperor's new policies in the north and the northeast.

The best treatment for officials is in the newly recruited areas, but the anti-corruption in the New Deal areas is also the strictest, and at the same time, officials are not allowed to do business, which has also become an unspoken rule of officialdom in the administrative areas. This unspoken rule is the party program of the Han Emperor Party, although it only restricts the officials of the Han Emperor Party within the Han Emperor Party, but if it is found that there are officials in business in the New Deal area, then it will not take long to be cut off from office.

The second is the officials of the northern provinces, and those officials such as the top leaders are also treated with high salaries and benefits. But they were also not allowed to do business, nor did their families.

For the time being, officials in the south have not yet enjoyed the policy of high salaries and pensions, but the anti-corruption campaign is still underway. At this time, Zhu Youxiao did not expect the officials of the southern provinces to raise taxes, but only asked them not to use administrative means to oppress the people.

Of course, it is also very easy for those southern scholars to do this, because the southern scholars have developed into a bureaucratic capitalist class, and under the combination of officials and businessmen, these officials naturally cannot directly commit corruption, so that their families can make money in business. Under the cover of power, many industries need these powers to serve as a barrier to entry.

They only need to act as a god statue, and they can be either corrupt or unscrupulous.

Therefore, many of the officials from the southern scholar clan seem to be very clean. In the fight against corruption, it is sometimes difficult to catch them, and they will not collect taxes when they are asked to do so. It is mandatory to levy commercial taxes, and they will stop when they reach the target, and they will deal with the central government.

Behind such incorruptibility is an even more serious collusion between officials and businessmen, and these scholars have monopolized a large amount of social resources and have become a serious cancer.

Cutting off these tumors is a great pain, and Zhu Youxiao is currently raising these southern scholars as pigs, anyway, no matter how much they eat, they will let them vomit out with interest. Therefore, for the time being, there is no hurry to clean up these southern scholars, and it is the most important thing to put Daming in a stable state first.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao will focus on the management of the New Deal area, and first build a mature New Deal system.

Now the reform has gradually and imperceptibly been accepted by all classes in the North Zhili, and some classes have to accept it even if they do not accept it. The resistance to reform in Beizhili is getting smaller and smaller, and in areas where the power of vested interests is blank in the northeast. There is even less resistance to reform.

Increased administrative costs. On the one hand, there has been a significant increase in the number of New Deal areas. On the one hand, there has been a slight increase in the northern provinces, while there has been no increase in administrative costs in the south.

Anyway, those officials from the noble clan already seem to be very clean, and they don't need any high salaries to support themselves, that's just a waste of money!

With the expansion of the New Deal area, the administrative cost will further increase in the future.

The increase in the cost of the New Deal is not a bad thing, because only with high investment can there be high returns, only then can the fiscal revenue be recovered, and the government will have enough control to develop the economy and people's livelihood.

When the authorities have enough resources. It will also be easier to change the current chaotic social values.

After the 30 million yuan administrative cost budget of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household Affairs also had to go to the disaster relief budget of 30 million yuan, and the principle of disaster relief was clarified.

Disaster relief in the north is carried out in the form of exemption from agricultural taxes, immigration, and cash-for-work, while disaster relief in the south is carried out in the form of tax exemption, food distribution, and immigration.

Disaster relief in the north is no longer directly distributed with food, but through a cash-for-work model, mainly as a manifestation of the central government's increased control over the local governments. For those special disaster-stricken groups, disaster relief materials are still directly distributed.

The imperial court's control over the southern provinces was still obviously insufficient, and it was easy to make a large number of moths in the form of work-for-relief, so it was simply carried out in the form of grain distribution and immigration.

The basic principle is that no one can starve to death, a huge sum of 30 million yuan. Theoretically, this can be done, and it depends on the specific implementation.

The Ministry of Industry has come up with a plan for the construction of roads through the northern provinces. At the same time, in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's request, he came up with a plan for harnessing the Yellow River, and at the same time there were large-scale water conservancy construction projects in the northern provinces, for which a financial budget of 100 million yuan was applied.

Next year, the Ministry of Industry will bid for the construction of the main highway through the provinces, and the main highway through the provinces will be completed within three years. At that time, heavy horse-drawn carriages could carry goods to the northern provinces unimpeded.

Transportation must continue to improve, there are no trains yet, and it is still possible to make do with heavy horse-drawn carriages first. This time, the construction project of the Ministry of Industry is divided in the northern provinces, which is also to warm up for the larger-scale construction in the future.

Because the issuance of paper money has been very fast, as long as there is a year of excess, inflation can be carried out later, and the method of inflation is to build a large number of various projects, so as to sprinkle money directly on the bottom laborers, and then the scale of production of goods demanded by the people at the bottom.

For example, grain!

Naturally, water conservancy projects are also the top priority, and water conservancy projects are particularly important in the case of continuous natural disasters. The Yellow River has also reached a stage where it has to be managed, and the Yellow River area suffers disasters every year, which has too great an impact on social stability.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already begun to allocate finances to subsidize those economically backward provinces, so as to achieve overall stability.

It is unlikely that the southern provinces will be in chaos, and the southern gentry have formed a system of high autonomy and a subtle social welfare system. As the rulers, it is naturally impossible for the southern nobles to cause chaos in the southern provinces.

Major water conservancy projects in the northern provinces will no longer be built by forced labor, but will be carried out through the method of recruiting workers.

Of the remaining 90 million yuan of the budget, 30 million yuan was allocated to education, which was only the first time that the government had made efforts to invest in education.

The remaining 60 million yuan is used for various expenses.

The population of the royal family is too large, and it costs more than 10 million yuan just to make money. In the past, these salaries were mainly distributed directly with grain, but now they are not distributed with grain, but directly with money.

Social welfare, as well as investments in vegetation restoration and sanitation in the north, as well as miscellaneous expenses of all kinds, add up to divide these budgets.

The plan for the issuance of banknotes has already been taken out, and Zhu Youxiao has also completed preparations for the nationalization of the Royal Bank.

The nationalization of the Royal Bank is very easy, it is nothing more than turning the top of the Royal Bank into government officials, and nothing else.

After all, the Royal Bank was established solely by the Emperor.

After the nationalisation of the Royal Bank, the royal family retained only 5% of the shares, while having decision-making power.

In fact, a large number of banknotes have been printed a long time ago, and this thing has been prepared since Zhu Youxiao established the Royal Bank, and the Royal Bank has also successfully developed some new technologies for the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes in the past few years.

As soon as the Chinese New Year is over, the Royal Bank can be officially nationalized and issue banknotes called 'Apocalypse Treasure Banknotes'. (To be continued.) )
