Holy Roman Empire

Regardless of what Carl said, it is essentially impossible to change it. In order to accelerate the pace of industrial development, it is ready to sacrifice the fact of agriculture.

The primitive accumulation of capital is bloody. While opening up the market outside, it is also necessary to squeeze inside.

This is destined for the times. As a lord who is aspiring to become an emperor, Franz is destined to eat. On the surface, the Austrian government has not squeezed farmers.

The agricultural tax of only 5% is almost the lowest in continental Europe in this era.

In fact, while paying agricultural taxes, there is also a 10% tithe, which is collected in the name of the church.

No more, the Austrian government is dominated by the noble class, and the policy must be inclined to the ruling class.It would be very difficult for them to pay taxes together.

However, for most people, they have to pay a land ransom, which is the biggest burden, but they are willing to bear this burden.

The Austrian government did not force farmers to redeem land. It was entirely voluntary. The rent of land held by the government was only 30%. After deduction of taxes, it was only 15%. There was no intention of exploitation and oppression.

If you want to redeem the land, you must also pay a 20% redemption payment for the land proceeds, for 40 consecutive years, or use cash to compensate.

If the government forces farmers to pay the land ransom, they must bear such a heavy burden. It is estimated that everyone will be very resistant, and many people will make comments.

But let them voluntarily buy land, the situation is different, the farmers are very grateful to the emperor who gave them land.

No matter how heavy the burden, everyone is much better than the serf era.While filling up the stomach, it also owns a certain amount of disposable property.

Of course, they are also more tired, working for the nobles is a foreign worker.Now that I have worked for myself, no one is lazy.If you can plant ten acres, no one will only plant five acres.

Everyone wants to earn more money and pay the land ransom as soon as possible to live a better life.

That's right, as long as the land is owned by farmers, they will have a good life.

After Franz took office, the Austrian government's tax revenue was simplified a lot, and the messy taxes were gradually abolished.

With the exception of the 5% agricultural tax, other taxes have nothing to do with farmers, and they will not be charged anyway.

The tithe is not counted, it is collected by the church and has nothing to do with the great emperor.

Now, the government wants to buy the interest groups of various countries with low food prices, which is beneficial in the long run, increasing the market share of Austrian agricultural products.

Later generations of Americans are playing at low prices, which is enough to prove that it is profitable.Although they did not make money in agriculture, they have already paid off in other places.

Otherwise, the Americans have long stopped.They are not charitable. Who can bear the loss every year?

It is not impossible for Americans to unite with major food-producing countries and drive up food prices together.It is not that there is a greater interest, they have been dumping at a low price.

On the surface, the Austrian government wholesales low-priced grains, which is a loss to local interest groups.But after Austria controlled the food supply of the states, the situation was different.

Whether governments are willing or not, they must move closer to Austria politically, which is not up to them.

No matter how great the strategy is, the farmers and nobles who planted grain in the early days have become victims, and the Austrian Empire has no grain subsidies.

"How to grasp this degree? If it is only slightly lower than international food prices, then it is not unacceptable. If it is too low, I am afraid it will hurt the enthusiasm of domestic food production." Prime Minister Felix said with a frown.

From the perspective of personal interests, he should oppose this measure, but as the Prime Minister of Austria, he cannot just consider the immediate interests.

Karl's flicker is still successful. Everyone knows that Austria's grain production will skyrocket, and domestic demand will certainly not be consumed. If it is not looking for sales outside, it will be rotten in the warehouse.

Everyone's thinking is already biased. When this kind of thing happens, the solution is not just one kind, such as: cutting taxes on agricultural products and increasing the competitiveness of food prices.

Or to develop supporting industries, such as wine making, animal husbandry development, and deep processing of grain ...

"The Prime Minister, this kind of loss is just a few years ago. Taking into account the actual situation, we are now entering the market in advance by falling by 20% in accordance with international food prices.

After we have occupied the market, we can slowly increase the price. The losses you pay now will be earned in the future.

At the same time, the government also encourages the export of finely processed products and exports of high value-added products as much as possible to protect everyone's interests."Karl seriously analyzed

For this sale, only the Austrian government dared to do so.Other grain exporting countries, but not so many state-owned enterprises, can control grain export prices.

Capital is profit-seeking, and the threshold of the agricultural industry is low. Who cares about the future interests of capitalists?

Let's talk about it in front of us, otherwise we will be shot to death by competitors before we even wait for the future.

...

The strategy of "low-price dumping" was thus formulated.This is a conspiracy. Who can resist the temptation in the face of interests?

Franz just frowned and expressed his acquiescence.The reality is so cruel, without enough benefits, how can someone else get on board?

Fortunately, in this era, everyone did not pay much attention to industry. Under the feudal system, capitalists did not have much voice. Otherwise, Austria would have to pay more if it wanted to establish this economic alliance.

...

It is easy to make a plan, but it is not so simple to implement the plan.The noisy examination of the Austrian civil servants kicked off on December 21, 1848.

In order to avoid Emperor Seco's distance, difficult supervision, and serious fraud, the Austrian government set up all examination rooms in Vienna.

The first thing to start the exam is the Ministry of Finance. It is not that they do not want to take the exam at the same time, but that the Austrian government does not have such a large venue.

Unlike the schools in the later generations, flying around, you can borrow a part of the classroom to take the exam.There are not so many venues now, and many people have to take exams in the open-air plaza.

Even the square in front of the Franz Palace was borrowed by the government to serve as an examination room.

At the top of the Vienna Palace, Franz took out the telescope and watched the long lines of candidates waiting for admission.

Once upon a time, he was also a member of the army of examinations, failing again and again, trying again and again, and waiting for the final result to come out, his fate has been rewritten.

After a sigh, Franz put down the telescope in his hand and walked down the castle. This time the examination had already begun.

In the examination room, the candidates are answering questions seriously, some are thinking down, some are writing hard, and some are scratching their ears.

This is the first civil service examination in Austria, and the proctors are very business, but they put a lot of pressure on the candidates.

A soldier with ammunition and ammunition served as a proctor, if someone with a bad quality in his heart, it is estimated that he will play abnormally after seeing this posture.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and the bell for the end of the "Ding, Ding Ding" test rang.

"Everyone immediately stopped writing and left the test room, and the offender's test scores were invalidated." The cold voice of the proctor sounded

One by one had to leave the test room in despair, obviously most people feel that the test is not good, many people leave a large blank on the roll.

Outside the examination room, there was already a lot of talk, and gathered together in groups of three or five.

"Wigel, how about the exam?"

"How is it possible, who knows why the Ministry of Finance is so biased, and how it seems that they are taking everything, you?" Wiger smiled bitterly.

Politics, history, culture, economy, military, religion, geography, digital, music, fine arts, international events ... all the content appeared on the test paper.

Despite the dominance of professional knowledge, these diverse topics have severely damaged everyone's morale.

"Me? I'm preparing for the next exam. Anyway, no matter what position, I must get one, otherwise I can't explain it when I go home." Raul said seriously.

The proportion of the test that has been opened for this test has been announced, and the pass rate is as high as half. If you fail to pass the test, it will belong to the eliminated half.

The nobles are face-saving, and the fair and upright competition has become a group of people who have been eliminated, and they will not be able to hold their heads for a long time.

Fortunately, there are not many civilian students in this era, otherwise they will lose to civilians, and it is estimated that their pressure will be even greater.

"You are afraid that Elena will not be able to explain it to you, but you blew the cowhide in front of her." Wiggle said the truth in a polite way.

The lie was broken, and Raul said indifferently: "What about it, anyway, I am a scumbag, and it is normal to fail the exam.

It is unfair to have a high-quality student like you who graduated from the University of Vienna to take the exam with us."

Wiger said calmly: "Do you want to say that if I don't pass, you can laugh at it all your life. Rest assured, this won't happen!"

Passing the exam, I am confident that Wieger still has some, but he is competing for ranking.Passing 100 points and passing 50 points are definitely different.

It is almost an open secret that good grades are left in the headquarters and where the grades are poor.No one can say that it is unfair, the results are taken by myself.

The Austrian government pays attention to efficiency. At the same time as the examination is over, the examination work has already begun.Immediately announce the results after the results are published, and determine the admissions according to the score.

Fight your father if you have the same grades. Priority admission is based on height. There are not so many reasons to say.
