Most of these universities have only been established in the last two years, and it will take at least a year or two for their first batch of college students to graduate.

At present, there are many university majors in Australasia, and different universities also have their own majors.

For example, the Australasian National University has a large number of majors such as physics and chemistry, as well as architecture.

The first thing Arthur instructed Education Minister Richard to do was to expand the size of the current universities as much as possible, and to further upgrade the level and quality of teaching in the universities.

This also means that Australasia needs to bring in more university professors and lecturers from Europe to meet the teaching needs of Australasia's major universities.

At present, Australasia does not have a formal military school to train military talents in all aspects for the country.

Arthur thought twice and finally decided to establish a military academy in the name of the royal family, called the Royal Military Academy of Australasia.

The Army Academy, the Naval Academy, and the Aviation Academy form a complete Royal Australasian Military Academy.

The Royal Military Academy will be established at a royal budget of $5 million, with Arthur as honorary rector, to nurture a wide range of military talent for Australasia.

Among the three major universities, the aviation college is very simple, and only needs to transfer all the training personnel of the aviation laboratory, which is the simplest aviation college scale.

In addition to the personnel of the Army Academy and the Naval Academy, Arthur also intends to hire them from Europe at a high salary.

As long as they have the ability, they are invited to work as teachers in military academies with high salaries.

There are two main ways to recruit students at the Royal Military Academy, one is for high school students to enter through examinations, which is the traditional student of the Royal Military Academy.

Another way to recruit students is to select potential soldiers from the army.

Regardless of the type of admission, as long as you successfully pass and graduate, you can become an officer in the Australasian army.

In order to make the establishment of the Royal Military Academy more rapid and the teaching conditions more perfect, Arthur also intends to invite a large number of experts from Germany and Britain to jointly help the Royal Military Academy to be successfully established.

After all, Germany and Britain are the most powerful in terms of army and navy at the moment.

Whenever a country's army shows great potential and strength, it will be called Prussia in such and such a region with praise.

This is enough to see that the strength of the army of the German Empire is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is also the best praise for the German Army.

Compared to the development of universities, the development of technical schools is much simpler.

Because the purpose of cultivating talents is different, this also leads to the fact that technical schools often only need some experienced talents to be established, and technical school students often only need to master a technology to graduate.

At present, the three technical schools in Australasia are able to train thousands of skilled workers and talents for Australasia.

If we include various technical trainings from the private sector, this number will be even higher.

But Arthur was not satisfied with this number, and specifically instructed Minister Richard to expand the size of Australasia's technical schools and establish more technical schools.

In terms of skilled workers and talents, Australasia is not too much, and it can train as many as it can.

After more than six years of construction and development, Australasia's transportation system has gradually improved.

The first is Australasia's longest railway industrial railway, which has basically been opened to traffic on a single track, and is only a few months away from the final goal of double-track operation.

The industrial railway has greatly improved the transport environment on the Australian continent and made communication between the west and east of Australia more efficient.

The second is the New Zealand regional railway. The current railway construction in the North Island of New Zealand has been almost completed, and the Round-the-Island Railway has made the transportation of the North Island of New Zealand extremely developed.

There is currently only one rail link in the South Island of New Zealand, from Picton in the far north of the South Island to Invercargill in the south of the South Island.

Of course, the scale of the railway is not satisfactory to Australasia. Arthur gave the next step in the railway construction plan of the transport department, in the Australian region, to build a northern railway, connecting the whole of northern Australia, and the southern industrial railway around the whole of Australia.

The mileage of this section of the railway is not inferior to that of the industrial railway, and Arthur also gave eight years to complete the railway.

Australia has enough manpower and money, and the northern railway construction plan has also been agreed by everyone.

New Zealand's railway construction has been basically perfected, and most of the other areas that have not popularized railways are sparsely populated mountainous areas.

It is not cost-effective to build railways in these areas, and it is completely unnecessary.

Therefore, in New Zealand, the most important task of the transport sector is to build more roads, so that the road network can spread to all cities and towns in the New Zealand region, so that New Zealanders can really feel the benefits of transport development.

The last to report is the Ministry of Finance.

For the whole of 1906, the total fiscal expenditure of the Royal Australian Government was 29.31 million Australian dollars, the total fiscal revenue was 21.2 million Australian dollars, and the fiscal deficit reached about 8.1 million Australian dollars.

The reason why the fiscal deficit is so high is actually because of the industrial construction that is currently going on everywhere in Australasia.

If we only look at fiscal revenue, the fiscal revenue of the government of the Kingdom of Australasia has been rising every year, and the fiscal deficit is getting smaller and smaller.

This is evident from the funds available to the government's treasury. The Treasury now has $234 million in available funds, a drop of $60 million from four years ago.

But in the past four years, Australasia's economic development has already surpassed this figure, and its total fiscal revenue has increased by half compared to four years ago.

In addition to the industrial development, Australasia's agriculture has also seen a lot of development.

As a result of the large number of indigenous inputs, Australasia's available arable land is now 50 per cent higher than it was four years ago, and the per capita arable land area is 30 per cent higher than it was four years ago.

Then there is animal husbandry, and Australasia has more than 160 million sheep, and if it were distributed to every Australasian person, even each person could be allocated twenty-four sheep.

This figure is enough to show how outrageous the livestock industry in Australasia is, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a large animal husbandry country.

And that's not even counting other animals such as cattle owned by Australia. Wool, beef and mutton, milk and other animal husbandry products are the key agricultural and animal husbandry products exported by Australasia, and they can also generate a lot of income every year.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the British Empire. Initially, the British Empire's livestock products were supplied to New Zealand, which was eventually replaced by the developed Australia.

After the establishment of Australasia, it naturally inherited the status of Australia, becoming a supplier of livestock to the British Empire and even many European countries.

It is precisely because of the very developed animal husbandry that meat is cheaper than food in Australasia, and meat is also a very important part of Australasian people's food.

The second more, ask for support!
