Everyone can see that the Beiyang government will not be like this anymore, so the East China government has completely suppressed the Beiyang government from its territory, population, economy, military, culture, prestige, etc.

Where will the Beiyang government go in the future? This is already a question that many people in Beiyang need to consider.

Yuan Shikai was bedridden and his condition was getting worse and worse. Since he heard that Shandong won a great victory, he already knew who the real master of the world was.

The world is not his. His wealth and people in the world have only made him the emperor for more than a month. And that stingy boy is about to occupy the world in the future.

On the hospital bed, Yuan Shikai was thinking about the difference between them.

After thinking for a long time, he admitted that Xia Jun’s development route was right, that was the most correct development route, but it was also the most difficult development route, which ordinary people cannot replicate.

Moreover, even if Yuan Shikai has the ability of Xia Jun, he was born at the wrong time.

Yuan Shikai was in the era when he was China under the rule of the Qing court, and the only way he could rise was exactly what he had always used. If he used other methods, he would definitely not be able to reach such a height today.

This made Yuan Shikai figured it out that he and Xia Jun were not from the same era, and there was a gap in the overall environment and their respective abilities.

But when his way of winning people's hearts begins, it cannot be stopped because once it stops, all he gets is centrifugation.

Although using brocade to win people's hearts is not the kingly way, he can only take such a route. Being able to reach such a height is indeed the best person in ancient and modern times.

It was already 1916, and the East China government's fiscal budget was also underway this year. This year's fiscal budget was relatively late, mainly due to the war.

Throughout 1915, the total output value of eastern China provinces exceeded 80 billion yuan, and the economy grew by 100%. It can be said to be a super rapid development, and the fiscal revenue of the East China government reached 15 billion yuan.

Among the 70 billion GDP, there are nearly 30 billion arms orders, mainly produced by the East China Group, and some private enterprises also joined the production, but the profits will be recorded by the government.

Over the whole year, China completed nearly 3 billion pounds of arms and material orders in the Allies, which were the main growth points.

The East China government is now super rich, and how to spend so much money has become a key issue this year.

Of course, with such a high total output value, the seigniorage tax this year has increased to 1.6 billion yuan, which is the second of the total output value. These seigniorage taxes will be issued by the central bank this year.

The central bank has printed tens of billions of bills this year. These bills are normal issuance, not government taxes, but are exchanged for gold, silver, US dollars and other things after exporting products. The central bank must print out bills to exchange them.

For those dollars, they are basically handed over to East China Bank for processing. East China Bank usually goes to the United States to exchange these dollars for precious metals and transport them back.

However, the amount of dollars you can earn is not too much. After all, the Allies don’t have much dollars in hand, because the United States also collects US dollars, so they can just buy US arms directly.

At the same time, the United States also charges Fuxing coins during trade. Because the value of Fuxing coins is stable, it can be exchanged for precious metals in China. Both sides are willing to collect each other's money and they also charge their own money, but they are always inseparable from precious metals.

At this time, the Allies and the Allies were collecting gold to deal with the war. If there was gold, there would be arms and materials. Countries not only used the gold from the people, but also the reserved gold.

The two aspects combined are quite considerable, especially the amount of gold and silver in each bank is definitely much higher than that of the country's gold reserves.

Whether it is the East China government or the US government, the first thing they do when they get the other party’s money is to exchange it for precious metals, because they will be charged seigniorage tax because they hold it for too long. Of course, both parties still reserve some of the other party’s banknotes, which are mainly used for a small amount of trade and will not be charged too much seigniorage tax.

How to use this 15 billion yuan?

In previous years, the highest fiscal budget was only more than 3 billion, while this year's fiscal budget was nearly five times higher.

However, the territory of the East China government has grown a lot, and we don’t have to worry about not having a place to spend money. It’s just the most worthwhile question of where the money is spent. This aspect has been discussed since November last year.

The central bank first drew 1.1 billion from this 15 billion yuan and will use this money to reserve 800 tons of gold. The two hundred tons of gold originally reserved, which is one thousand tons of gold.

The reserve of 1,000 tons is only one-quarter of that of Tsarist Russia, but if you use more money to reserve, all departments will definitely disagree.

The entire budget is 13.9 billion, and the Ministry of Education has divided the number of 3 billion yuan. This year, the Ministry of Education will educate children in all provinces in China, whether it is a province managed by the East China government or a province managed by the Beiyang government.

At this time, the provinces of the Beiyang government had been completely infiltrated by the East China government, whether in business, education, or publicity.

Especially in this education, those students learn textbooks from the East China government.

The Beiyang government had already noticed it at this time, but if they dared to create friction in this regard, it would obviously give the East China government an excuse.

And the precedent has been opened, and the Beiyang government is no longer able to stop B

The textbooks of the Ministry of Education of the East China Government have no problems themselves, but they are publicized for various policies of the East China Government. If you compare them with the Beiyang Government, the gap will be revealed immediately.

With the continuous victory of the East China government in military affairs, textbooks also have more and more content.

Under such circumstances, the Beiyang government has become more passive.

The Beiyang group had already split at this time, and Cao Kun, Feng Yuxiang and other troops had already publicly responded to the East China government.

At this time, these troops returned to the Beiyang system, and the Beiyang government was not able to deal with it, because once coercive means were used, it would immediately stir up a blatant division, and the disputes between the troops could surrender to the East China government, which would still be organized by the East China government. The education scale of the Ministry of Education is constantly expanding. Although the faculty may not be enough, the focus is on quality education.

For ordinary citizens, as long as they can understand the words, it is enough, but from the national perspective, it requires higher quality of the citizens.

National quality and cultural level are linked, but they are not computer-based. They are completely linked.

In later generations, there were very few illiterate Chinese, but did the national quality be very high?

Culture is only a foundation of national quality, but not all.

This quality is to teach the people to make correct choices when encountering some situations, as well as their usual correct behavioral habits, etc.

Teaching these things is not much simpler than teaching knowledge. There is no problem with teaching. The Ministry of Education has special teachers in this area, and it is very professional.

Since the East China government does not need to fool the people, improving the quality of the people is the goal of pursuing. Education is related to the future and destiny of a country. Therefore, no one opposed the 3 billion investment of the Ministry of Education. Moreover, what the East China government has become accustomed to is that the East China government does not only regard the territory occupied as its own, but also regards the territory occupied by the Beiyang government as what it will soon have in the future.

Therefore, no one regards education in other unoccupied provinces as meddling in other people's business, but rather an early investment.

Three billion yuan in education funds means that on average, each Chinese can get nearly seven yuan. The educated group is about one-quarter of the population, and the average annual investment of each student reaches 28 yuan.

Of course, a large part of it is used for school scientific research, and this year the scientific research funding of major universities will be very sufficient.

At the same time, many of the three billion are used to build hardware facilities. Nowadays, the hardware facilities of many schools are not very advanced, and they also need to expand the scale, so the investment in hardware facilities is still relatively tight.

For the Ministry of Education, no matter how much money you invest, there is a place to spend it, especially in terms of hardware facilities. Therefore, the development of education depends largely on charitable donations.

The Ministry of Administration has allocated 300 million yuan this year, and the funds account for 2% of fiscal revenue, which is a low to an abnormal level.

As for countries around the world, it is generally normal for a national administrative fee of 3% or 5%, while in later generations, administrative fee accounts for 24%.

The low administrative fees of the East China government are completely due to careful calculations. There is no duplicate staffing among the East China government's administrative staff, and because they pursue efficient administration, this also makes it necessary to have fewer administrative staff.

This is mainly related to the lack of administrative staff at that time, especially during the establishment of the East China Government, due to the resignation of administrative staff, what evolved at that time was extremely high efficiency.

Anyone can make suggestions on how to improve efficiency, or even submit them to the chairman. After several years of continuous reform, the efficiency has become extremely high.

For a long time, the East China government has invested very little in administrative aspects, which has led to the simple office locations of local governments.

There are very few decorations, and some local governments have saved this aspect in order to save money, just a concrete building.

Of course, the treatment of administrative personnel is very good. In terms of administration, it costs the most money, which is also a link that can be saved.

The most common means of transportation are bicycles, motorcycles, and cars, because there are few old men in administrative agencies.

The following are all young and strong. They think that bicycles are not easy to ride and can ride motorcycles, which is not expensive. Even local officials do not have cars, so buy them yourself if you need them!

As for the income of those local officials, it is still easy to buy a car. It is certain that these local officials have to run around, but there are also fleets in the local area and can apply. However, these vehicles are not rated for someone, but are used together by various departments. Many fleets are not funded enough! So they use trucks to recharge the numbers.

Now China has just entered the early stage of automobile production, and the focus is on trucks. The car has developed relatively rapidly, but it has not yet reached the level that every household can buy it. It is still a luxury item. With the development of industry, it is not impossible for every household in China to buy cars in the future, but it is completely possible. However, the price of cars at this time is still relatively expensive, so local governments use the cheapest administrative side, and even use other cars.

The simplicity and efficiency of local administrative agencies have won the trust of the people for the government.

The budget is 10.6 billion, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has taken away one billion. The population of the fourteen provinces occupied by the East China government has reached 300 million, and the people's heart index is only 4.0. It can provide Xia Jun with 1.2 billion points per month.

In order to improve the index of people's hearts, Xia Jun asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to continue to implement zero hunger and zero cold policies this year to completely solve the food and clothing problems of various provinces and provide food and clothing for people who cannot afford food and clothing.

This one billion investment is worth it. If the public opinion index rises, then Xia Jun can increase his income by 300 million points per month.

Only with points can we improve productivity, so Xia Jun is not stingy in the investment in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

With this investment of 10 billion yuan, people in each province can spend 5 cents to have a meal in the canteen. However, in towns and rural areas, there are basically no relief, but there are still reliefs.

If the labor force in towns and rural areas cannot survive, it can come to the city to convert it into the urban population. This problem of food and clothing will naturally be solved. Now we are recruiting workers everywhere, so we don’t have to worry about nothing to do.

For those who are unable to work, the elderly can get pensions, and the widowed elderly and orphans are in uniform.

For example, in provinces that have been included in administrative management for a long time, the people who need assistance have been basically determined. Those who are able to work basically do not need to provide any assistance. In addition to receiving unemployment benefits, there are things to do everywhere now, and few people receive unemployment benefits.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs focused on rescuing the provinces that have just been included in the administrative region, including Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan and the Western Regions, many of the people in their lives are relatively difficult, and some extremely poor areas need to be given key rescuing.

Such a rescue can be maintained for one or two years, because after one or two years, people will have money in their pockets and there will be no need for any rescue.

The Ministry of Health also distributed the money this year and took away 600 million yuan from the fiscal budget. Because the Ministry of Health's budget occupied territory, now there are more territory in five provinces, so the funds required are naturally increased.

The Ministry of Health has a very generous income in medical care, mainly in terms of profits in pharmaceutical products. Now China's pharmaceutical products are best-selling around the world.

Since the Germans withdraw from competition in the pharmaceutical products industry, Chinese pharmaceutical products have begun to be flooded all over the world, and even the United States can see Chinese pharmaceutical products everywhere.

In particular, penicillin, zymosin and other medicines doubled their value during the First World War.

However, the Ministry of Health still has a gap in funding, so it takes a budget of 600 million yuan, especially in newly occupied provinces, which requires the construction of many medical facilities, which cost money.

The Ministry of Health has charged less and less medical fees, so it gradually changed to ask the government for money, which made Xia Jun feel that the focus should be on medical operations.

For example, to make money by opening hospitals in countries around the world, it requires good medical technology and reputation, and it takes a certain amount of time, but this must be done. It is a good choice to use the money of the people of the world to subsidize the medical expenses of the Chinese people.
