In terms of the fiscal budget for the 12th year of the Apocalypse, the construction funds are still tilted towards the backward provinces, and the construction of infrastructure is still continuing.

In terms of infrastructure construction this year, the main thing is to ensure that workers in provinces with different levels of development can have jobs and will not lose the nutrients for survival.

Therefore, the construction of infrastructure must continue, and when private businessmen are unable to obtain loans, the government and state-owned enterprises have to come out at this time to throw money at ordinary people.

At the same time, there are many good construction projects today, and the railway is the best one. Urban public facilities, as well as agricultural water conservancy facilities, are still relatively good construction projects, and they are all projects that are beneficial to the development of the country and the improvement of people's livelihood.

Military spending has increased, reaching a new high of 130 million yuan, and now it is in the stage of preparing for war, the army needs new equipment, and the expansion of the production scale of military equipment in military factories can also lead to employment. The increase in military spending this year was mainly in the field of equipment procurement.

Education also cannot be pulled down, but the cost of education is not entirely borne by the imperial court. In terms of administrative expenditure, there has been no increase, and the provinces that have undergone the reform have basically stabilized their administrative expenditures.

At the same time, in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao also increased the expenditure on the greening project in the north. By increasing the scale of afforestation, we will increase the number of jobs for workers everywhere and continue to optimize soil and water conservation capacity, especially to avoid the spread of desertification.

The reason why natural disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty will have strong destructive power is also very related to the destruction of the ecological environment. Firewood burning was common in those days, but after the trees on the mountain were cut down. There are no planted forests. The ecological environment is becoming more and more fragile. Especially in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the population also multiplied in large numbers, and the damage to the ecological environment was relatively large.

During the Song Dynasty, there were still many forests in Henan, because the imperial court needed to use forests to build a barrier to prevent cavalry from breaking through, so a large number of forests were planted. In today's Henan Plain, there are no large-scale forests.

Now the northern provinces have been reformed, and the towns have been converted to coal-burning. Burning firewood is not as cost-effective as burning coal, and it is also officially banned, as for the rural areas still have the idea of burning firewood, there are still some traffic problems in the transportation of coal to the countryside, and there is no way to let the people burn firewood, so there is no way to force the rural people to burn coal.

At the same time, the forests of the Taihang Mountains were also forbidden to be cut down by Zhu Youxiao.

The forest farm in the Taihang Mountains has always been a traditional forest farm in the Guannai area, and a large amount of timber has been cut down in the Taihang Mountains for generations to build palaces or something.

Due to man-made destruction of the forest, the purple ginseng in the Taihang Mountains has been basically extinct.

Purple ginseng is also called codonopsis. It is the ginseng used in ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions, and it can also be called Central Plains ginseng. It mainly grows in the Taihang Mountains area. It belongs to the best quality ginseng, and in ancient times, Liaodong ginseng was used to pass off as Central Plains ginseng. Later, because of the extinction, Chinese medicine began to replace it with Liaodong ginseng. The reason why the Central Plains ginseng is known as the top grade is because this kind of ginseng is suitable for all ages, not only can greatly replenish vitality, but also has relatively peaceful medicinal properties, and can also dispel deficiency fire.

The main reason for this difference is the climate. In order to grow in a cold climate, Liaodong ginseng must have sufficient positive energy, and then it is more extreme than Central Plains ginseng. The growth environment of Central Plains ginseng is not so cold, and the energy is more balanced. This is like the difference between spring and autumn and summer and winter, the climate in spring and autumn is not so extreme, which makes people feel more comfortable.

The extinction of the Central Plains people is also related to the exploitation of medicinal farmers in the past dynasties, because the purple ginseng is a royal tribute, and the past dynasties have asked for tribute. So much so that the medicine farmers self-destructed the garden, and at the same time, because of the war, the forests of the Taihang Mountains suffered serious fires.

During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang took into account the hardships of medicine farmers, so he no longer included purple ginseng in the royal tribute. However, with the development of private capital in the Ming Dynasty, the price of purple ginseng is getting higher and higher, and driven by the interests of the market economy, purple ginseng has basically been dug up.

In Chinese history, there are actually a lot of elixirs that have been dug up, and purple ginseng is not an elixir-level thing, and they have all been dug up and extinct.

Although the industry has not been developed in recent years, the damage to the ecology is also great. The imperial court must come forward to guide it, and if it continues to let it go, it will only make the situation worse and worse, and then there will be more and more disasters of all kinds, and the ability to resist disasters will become worse and worse.

Especially now that industry has developed, the destructive power is even greater, and many things must be prevented before they happen. In the grassland area, the grassland rotation grazing system implemented by the imperial court was also strictly enforced, and the agricultural development of the grassland was very cautious.

In the 12th year of the Apocalypse, the Cabinet will also implement the policy of returning farmland to forests and grasslands in the northwest region, mainly to protect those grasslands that have not yet been destroyed, and at the same time restore the forest area.

Afforestation has proved to be very useful, and after a period of afforestation in China, the problem of large-scale deforestation has been greatly improved, although the plantation cannot restore the original ecological chain, but it has achieved sustainable development in terms of resources.

With such experience, now that Zhu Youxiao has become financially prosperous in the imperial court, it is natural to carry out large-scale artificial afforestation. It is very important to give birth to the so-called 10-year trees and 100-year tree people, whether it is a tree or a tree person. The primary forests in the northern provinces of Kannai were protected and cut down by the private sector.

A large number of northern forest farms stopped cutting, and the supply of timber mainly became imported from the northeast, and in the twelfth year of the apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty had occupied the entire outer northeast, and these areas were too cold and bitter, mainly because some production corps were stationed, and before the train was built, there would not be too many towns, and the more north the immigrants were powerless. The traffic is not good, and I think that after the immigrants pass, the market-oriented economy will not be able to play.

The construction of the railway will be a new opportunity to develop the Northeast, especially the Outer Northeast.

The investment budget of state-owned enterprises has been further increased, and it is impossible for banks not to release money, otherwise the people at the bottom will not be able to obtain wealth.

The way to let the people at the bottom gain wealth and harvest private capital is actually very simple. That is to let state-owned enterprises assume the role of the main force in construction.

After a large number of construction of state-owned enterprises and private capital. A lot of building material production capacity has been formed locally, and so on. But because the market is booming, the prices are relatively high, and the private businessmen make a lot of money and laugh.

After the tightening of the bank's monetary system, private businessmen will no longer be able to obtain loans, and the construction projects invested by the private sector will also decrease rapidly, so that the prices of building materials and other aspects will fall, so that the profit margins of private capital will be constantly compressed in order to compete for survival opportunities. Business suddenly didn't do well.

However, there are still many construction projects under the action of the government and state-owned enterprises, which can provide a large number of jobs for ordinary people. The wages of those workers have not decreased, and the wages of workers employed by private businessmen have not fallen much, if not at all.

The income of workers engaged in those construction projects-related work can support the operation of the economy at the bottom of the society, so that ordinary people can live a better life, and even as long as they are willing to work, the quality of life is better than that of those who do not have to work. It's just that those who make money by speculation and have no spirit of hard work and idle people will have a hard time. It can't even be mixed up. And then change the social atmosphere, and establish new social values with the theme of hard work to achieve dreams.

The investment of state-owned enterprises will increase significantly in the twelfth year of the apocalypse. The main force of this is investment in railway construction and shipbuilding.

The construction of the main railway line of the northern railway will be fully started, and a vigorous wave of railway construction has been brewed. After a period of exploration, the railway line has basically been determined.

The construction plan of the railway is basically to build the main railway line and the strategic railway first, and then build the local railway branch line.

The task of the General Administration of Railways is to lay the 'skeleton' of the railway network in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, so that as long as there are railways, the cost of various construction activities can be reduced. At that time, the cost of transporting materials required for construction will be reduced, and the speed and cost of mobilizing workers will also be reduced.

At the same time, the construction of internal railway systems in the mining and metallurgical industries will also begin, and the operation of these railways will be carried out by state-owned enterprises and coordinated with the railway companies when they are integrated into the railway system.

The investment in the shipbuilding industry is mainly to invest in new shipyards and docks, as well as the construction capacity of steam ships, and concentrate superior resources to develop the construction of steam ships.

With such investment, in about four to five years, the railway system in the north can be built, and the construction capacity of steam ships will also be greatly developed, so as to eliminate the production capacity of sailing ships.

As soon as the main railway line was built, it would be possible to wage war against the Mongols.

As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, and the heat needs to be constantly adjusted. And this year's Spring Festival, the people in various provinces have no problems with food and clothing, but the gap between the rich and the poor does make many ordinary people not very happy this year, but feel very depressed.

It's just that after the end of the year, many private businessmen are not happy, and the banks no longer issue loans. In particular, if you are opening a factory and building a factory before, you can go to the bank to borrow a sum of money, but after the year, the factory can no longer apply for a loan.

Some businessmen suddenly fell into a financial crisis, and everywhere began to be less easy to borrow, the cost of borrowing funds continued to rise after the year, and some businessmen went bankrupt without being able to borrow money. Of course, the situation is not entirely so bad, this time the state-owned capital began to harvest private capital, not to kill all private businessmen, private businessmen have an irreplaceable complementary role in the current economy.

The imperial court's policy is mainly a new round of wealth distribution, which allows the impetuous market to settle down. Nowadays, with the rapid development of the economy, many people have begun to be lazy and do not do things, fantasizing about being the boss all day long, and making money every day.

During the period of bank tightening, the business of private businessmen began not to be so good. Those private businessmen who have no real skills, with such a policy, began to be continuously eliminated. Doing business in the market is no longer as if you could make money by doing anything.

Some privately-funded businessmen with a keen sense of smell immediately began to improve their competitiveness after the banks retracted the monetary stub in order to cope with the fierce competition that followed.

When business doesn't start well, the competition is intense. Mosquito meat, which was previously unprecedented, will also become precious. And such a change has become more beneficial for those people who are willing to endure hardships and do things.

The wages of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse have not decreased, and for ordinary people, jobs are still not difficult to find. Everywhere there is recruitment of railroad workers, construction workers, and so on.

With the Spring Festival after the Spring Festival, various construction projects of the imperial court and state-owned enterprises in various cities have also been launched, which immediately filled the employment gap after the collapse of some private capital. Private capital did not collapse in one fell swoop, but was gradually phased out under the tightening of the banks, and the imperial court had enough time to help fill these gaps by building infrastructure and increasing investment by state-owned enterprises.

So at the beginning of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, a strange phenomenon appeared in the Ming New Deal area. The business of private businessmen is not so good, but the economy can still maintain stability.

Many businessmen do not make as much money as workers, and even lose money in it. Various debt crises began to erupt, and some businessmen ran away in arrears, which led to a cascading effect, and so-and-so businessmen also went bankrupt, and such a phenomenon began to occur in this year.

But no matter if they go bankrupt or run away, the factories, land, and houses of those private businessmen cannot be taken away, and these assets have been transferred in the process of wealth redistribution.

After these years of reform, the northern provinces have not actually fully realized the allocation of resources, and the policy change in the 12th year of the Apocalypse is indeed a little earlier in some provinces where the reform is relatively late, but these provinces have fewer problems, and the social atmosphere is still relatively good.

The hot market economy has begun to cool down and precipitate, which is a good thing at the moment. In the past, it was the imperial court that was in real financial difficulties and had frequent natural disasters, so it was necessary to adopt relatively simple and extensive means to stimulate the economy, but now the situation is stable and the economy is the best to develop steadily.

But such an economic state is becoming more and more difficult for those who are lazy, idle, and not high.

The major newspapers, starting from the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, began to vigorously propagate the concept of pragmatism and hard work, calling on the masses of all classes to rely on hard work to achieve their dreams.

If everyone can do things in a down-to-earth manner and work hard, then the wealth created by the whole society will be very huge, and the country will do a good job in wealth distribution, so that those who work hard can get wealth, and the social atmosphere can be reversed.

The impetuous social atmosphere is not something that can be created in a day or two, and the pragmatic social atmosphere is also not something that can be recovered in a day or two, which requires long-term operation, and the 12th year of the Apocalypse will be a good start. (To be continued.) )
