Chapter 231: Chapter 216: Continuous Growth of Finance
Most of these universities were established just in the past two years, so it would take at least another one or two years before their first batch of students graduate.
Currently, there are many majors offered in Austrsian universities, and different universities have their specialties.
For example, Austrsia National University has arger enrollment in physics and chemistry, as well as architecture majors.
The first thing that Arthur instructed Minister of Education Richard to do was to expand the scale of existing universities as much as possible and upgrade their teaching quality and standards further.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
This also means that Austrsia needs to import more university professors and lecturers from the European region to meet the teaching needs of its universities.
At present, there is no formal military academy in Austrsia to train military personnel in various fields for the country.
After much consideration, Arthur finally decided to establish a military academy in the name of the royal family, named Austrsia Royal Military Academy.
The Military Academy, Naval Academy, and Aeronautical College form aplete Austrsia Royal Military Academy.
The Royal Military Academy will be funded by the royal family for 5 million Australian dors, with Arthur serving as the honorary principal, to train military talents for Austrsia in various fields.
Among the three academies, the Aeronautical College is very simple. All the trainers from the aerospaceboratories need to be transferred, and this would be the simplest scale for the Aeronautical College.<div>
For the staffing of the Military and Naval Academies, in addition to drawing from the military, Arthur also ns to hire high-paying experts from the European region.
As long as they are capable, they will all be invited to the military academy as teachers with high sries.
The Royal Military Academy mainly has two admission methods. One is by high school students entering through exams, who are the traditional students of the Royal Military Academy.
The other admission method is to select potential soldiers from the military for admission.
No matter which admission method is used, as long as they sessfully graduate, they will be officers in the Austrsia Army.
To make the establishment of the Royal Military Academy faster and improve the teaching conditions, Arthur also ns to invite arge number of experts from Germany and Britain to help the academy establish smoothly.
After all, Germany and Britain are currently the strongest in terms of the army and navy.
If a country’s army shows great potential and strength, it will often be called the “Prussia” of a certain region.
This shows that the strength of the German Empire’s army has a deep impact and 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 nurturing talent is different, technical schools usually only require experienced people to be established, and students only need to master one technology proficiently to graduate.
At present, the three technical schools in Austrsia can train thousands of skilled workers and talents for the country.
If you consider various technical training provided by the private sector, the number would be even higher.
However, Arthur was not satisfied with this number and specifically instructed Minister Richard to expand the scale of Austrsia’s technical schools and establish more of them.
In terms of skilled workers and talents, Austrsia will never have enough, so they will train as many as they can.
After more than six years of construction and development, the transportation system in Austrsia has gradually been perfected.
Firstly, the longest railway in Austrsia, the Industrial Railway, has basically achieved single-track operation and is only a few months away from the end goal of double-track operation.
This industrial railway has greatly improved the transportation environment on the Australian continent, making themunication between the western and eastern parts of Australia more effective.
Next is the railway in the New Zend region. The railway construction on the North Ind of New Zend has been basicallypleted, with the circumferential railway making transportation highly developed on the North Ind.<div>
At present, the South Ind of New Zend has only one railway line, from the northernmost Picton to the southernmost Invercargill on the South Ind of New Zend.
Of course, such a scale of railway cannot satisfy Austrsia. Arthur has proposed the next railway construction n for the Transportation Department, which is the Northern Railway in the Australian region, connecting the entire northern part of Australia, perfectly encircling Australia in conjunction with the southern Industrial Railway.
This railway line is not inferior in length to the Industrial Railway, and Arthur has given an eight-year period toplete it.
Fortunately, Australia has sufficient human resources and funds, and the Northern Railway construction n has been agreed upon by all parties.<div>
As for railway construction in New Zend, it is already mostly perfected, and other areas that have not poprized railways are mainly sparsely popted mountain areas.
It is not cost-effective andpletely unnecessary to build railways in these areas.
Therefore, in the New Zend region, the most important job of the Transportation Department is to build more highways, enabling the highwaywork to cover all cities and towns in the New Zend region and allowing New Zenders to truly feel the benefits of transportation development.
Thest to report is the Finance Department.
In the entire year of 1906, the Austrsian Kingdom Government’s total fiscal expenditure amounted to 29,310,000 Australian dors, and its total fiscal revenue was 21,120,000 Australian dors, with a fiscal deficit reaching around 8,110,000 Australian dors.
The reason for such a high fiscal deficit is actually due to Austrsia’s ongoing industrial construction.
If only fiscal revenue is considered, the fiscal revenue of the Austrsian Kingdom Government has been steadily climbing, and the fiscal deficit has been getting smaller.
This can be seen from the avable funds of the government’s finance department. At present, the Ministry of Finance has avable funds of up to 230,400,000 Australian dors, which is a reduction of only 60 million Australian dorspared to four years ago.
However, in the past four years, the economic development of Austrsia has already surpassed this figure, and the total fiscal revenue has even increased by halfpared to four years ago.
In addition to the development of the industry, the agriculture sector in Austrsia has also seen a considerable amount of development.
Due to therge amount of indigenous investment, the avable cultivatednd in Austrsia has increased by 50%pared to four years ago, and per capita cultivatednd area has increased by 30%.
Not to mention the animal husbandry, Austrsia has more than 160 million sheep, which equates to each Austrsian being allocated twenty-four sheep.
This figure is enough to show how outrageous the animal husbandry industry in Austrsia is, and it is by no means an exaggeration to call it a superpower in animal husbandry.<div>
This is not even counting the cows and other animals Australia has. Wool, beef and mutton, and milk are all important agricultural and pastoral exports in Austrsia, generating considerable ie each year.
Speaking of this, it is impossible not to mention the British Empire. In the beginning, the supply source of the animal husbandry industry for the British Empire was New Zend, followed by theter developed Australia.
After the establishment of Austrsia, it naturally inherited the status of Australia and became the animal husbandry supplier for the British Empire as well as many European countries.
Also, because of the highly developed animal husbandry industry, meat is cheaper than grains in Austrsia, and meat is an essential part of the diet for Austrsians.
