Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Six The Financial Budget of the Year One Hundred and Fourteen

Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Eder began to consider this year's budget after seeing the statistics of Romania's economy and population. Now Romania is taking a radical fiscal policy. This is because Romania has a lot of foreign debts and needs to pay 50 to 60 million lei every year to repay the debts. This money accounts for 10% of Romania's fiscal revenue, which is not a small amount.

Sent along with the statistics, of course, this year's budget. Now Edel is looking at the budget plan for 1914.

In this budget plan, the most important is the military budget. In 1914, the Romanian military budget reached the level of 128.5 million lei, which is much higher than that in 2013. You must know that because of participating in the Second Balkan War, Bring Romania's military spending to a record 261.24 million lei in 13 years. However, after deducting the cost of 151.42 million lei caused by the war, it is a lot more than in 2013.

A large part of the extra funding compared to last year is part of the cost of the newly established two divisions. After deducting this part, the army replenishes ammunition reserves, and each division adds 6 105 howitzers, which is another sum of money, and then there are the costs of purchasing new equipment, army training costs, etc., which can only be maintained at the level of 13 years. .

Of course, as a guarantee of Romanian force, Eder still left room for the army. This year, the government's emergency funds reached the highest level in history, and a total of 55 million emergency funds have been prepared. It is mainly the financial assistance that Prime Minister Bretianu may need in order to prevent the newly occupied territories, as well as the preparations to prevent various natural disasters.

After looking at the details of the military budget, which ranks first in funding, Edel moved on to look at the education budget, which ranks second in government budgets. Now Romanian education funding has always been ranked the second most important expenditure this year is no exception, its budget reached 115.4 million lei. Most of this is invested in six-year compulsory education, but as funding increases, so does funding for secondary schools and universities. The Ministry of Education is now considering whether to add a university to increase the number of students in Romanian higher education.

Now with the increase of Romania's economic strength, there are a lot of earners from all walks of life, and their expectations for the education level of their children are also rising. According to the survey conducted at the end of 2013, Romania has 8,946 university students. Now, the existing six universities in Romania are basically operating at full capacity. If there are more students, it will cause the shortage of teachers and school buildings.

University is not the most changed level of Romanian education, and now secondary school is the most changed level in Romania. Before 1905, out of an average of 100 six-year compulsory education students, only 2.5 would enter secondary schools to continue their studies. Most of them go home to work or go out to work after six years of study to help families reduce their burdens. In the final analysis, the income level of Romanian residents is not enough.

After eight years of development, Romania is now able to achieve 5.7 out of every 100 primary school graduates entering secondary schools, which is a huge improvement. Now, Germany, which attaches great importance to national education in Europe, can only achieve a 10% enrollment rate for junior high schools. However, this is not the highest. Now the highest enrollment rate in Europe from primary school to secondary school is Bulgaria, which has just lost the war next door. If you read that right, Bulgaria ranks first in Europe with a high secondary school enrolment rate of 17.2%, far ahead of other countries.

However, in terms of the number of college students, Bulgaria is far less dazzling than his middle school, with only 2,455 college students. In several European countries with similar populations, it can only be regarded as mediocre.

In addition to military and education spending, the third-largest budget item in Romania is the construction of public facilities, reaching the level of 87.6 million lei. Among them, 217 kilometers of railways are expected to be built, and 458 kilometers of maintenance and renovation. Among them, the newly built railway is the railway project from Iasi to the capital Bucharest via Bacau, Foknisha and Buzau.

This railway extends along the line at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, which can better solve the travel problem of local people. Of course, this is a rhetoric to the outside world. In fact, it can also facilitate Romania to quickly move the army to the border of Austria-Hungary. Eder also played this idea. Now this railway has been under construction for almost a year. According to the plan of the transportation department, the railway will be fully connected in two and a half years. At that time, Eder said that he would not have to take this railway to inspect the local customs.

As for maintenance and renovation, this is also very understandable. Many of the current Romanian railways were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and too many facilities are already unusable. Now that government funds are abundant, these aging facilities also need to be replaced. So 34.1 million of this year's public utilities budget is spent on rail.

In addition to railways, another major budget expenditure is the construction of roads. Now all Romanian counties have roads connecting their neighboring counties. Some counties with rich financial resources also subsidize the paving of asphalt pavement, while the poorer ones have only paved pavement with gravel. The existing 25 counties and cities in Romania also need a lot of funds, and the transportation department also has an ambitious plan to pave the roads connecting the counties with asphalt roads, so this area also needs a lot of funds.

An amount of 31.45 million lei has also been prepared in this year's public facilities budget, so that officials of the transportation department are gearing up to make a big effort. It is worth mentioning that Romania now has 11,500 kilometers of roads, of which dirt roads and gravel roads account for 63%, so the wishes of the transportation sector still have a long way to go.

In addition, Romanian seaports and river wharfs are also expected to spend about 9 million lei, of which the main expenditure is on the river wharf in Giuligiu County, which relies on the Danube for transportation. The transportation department intends to turn the river terminal in the county next to the capital into a transportation hub on the Danube to expand the transportation volume of the Danube.

After looking at the public facilities construction budget, Edel moved on to the next major budget, which was health care. In this regard, the government has prepared a budget of 51.1 million lei, mainly to allow counties and cities to improve their medical standards.

It has also combined private and corporate funds to greatly improve the medical level of Romania. Among them, the second largest national hospital under construction in Constanta is a representative of this aspect. The Constanta government, together with Volkswagen and the Romanian Steel Company, invested a total of 7.54 million lei to build the hospital, of which 45% of the funds were provided by these companies.

According to the plan, the hospital will have 800 beds and more than 120 medical staff, and more than ten senior doctors from Britain and Germany will also be hired. According to the plan, it will reach the second level in Romania's domestic technology ranking and the first Certainly the Royal Hospital in the capital. In Ploiesti, Iasi and other places, combined with their actual supporting enterprises and individuals, many new hospitals have been opened, but they are not as eye-catching as Constanta.

Thanks to the improvement of medical conditions, the life expectancy of Romanian newborns and nationals has been greatly improved. Among them, the mortality rate of newborns before the age of one has dropped to the level of only 164 per thousand, which is 89 fewer than eight years ago. , which puts Romania on the same level as Spain and Portugal, and less than Austria-Hungary.

Edel then continued to check budget items such as agricultural water conservancy budget, scientific and technological research and development budget, and resource exploration. Finally, he signed his name on the budget book, which represented that he accepted the quota allocated by the government. He doesn't care how many behind-the-scenes deals this budget has gone through. The most important thing for Romania now is to work hard to lay a solid foundation for the first World War starting this year.
