Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 290 Great immigrants
Franz was reputable. Immediately after signing the treaty with the Ottoman Empire, he immediately paid for the goods worth ten million Aegis.
This time, the Vienna government did not offer any discounts. There was no sequelae of overcapacity. There were too many backlogs of materials that could not be sold and sold, directly destroying Franz.
It can't be better to use it to make a deal with the Sudanese government.If possible, he still wants to do the same deal with the Russians, no matter what, it is better than watching these materials rotten in the warehouse.
Especially for agricultural products, these finished products are not very long in shelf life.The preservatives of this era are too scum, and adding more will kill people.
Even if you do n’t pay attention to food safety, you ca n’t poison people. How can you do this kind of smashing signboard?
Regarding the word-of-mouth issue, the Vienna government is still very strict in its control. It cannot be poisoned. This is the bottom line of food safety, even if it is an export product.
Of course, this is also limited to this. Higher standards belong to high-end food, such as the products specially provided by the nobles, and the quality level is not much lower than that of later generations.
The gap between the prices of the two grades of goods is basically several times, or even dozens of times, which fully proves that cheap is not good.
At the Palace of Vienna, after hearing the report of the Minister of Agriculture, Franz thought about it and said: "Since the export value of agricultural products has fallen, then we have artificially created the market.
Didn't we just reach an agreement with the Ottoman Empire, did they withdraw the population on these lands?
Now ship transportation is organized immediately. It ’s no big deal to provide them with one year ’s ration as compensation for early migration. Presumably, the Sudanese government will not refuse such a good thing.
When the Ottomans are gone, we will organize immigrants to fill up and take these areas into full control.
In this way, shipping companies have new business, we can also reduce the pressure of unsalable grain sales, and help stabilize domestic grain prices."
The Mediterranean region is different from other overseas colonies. The Vienna government has the ability to directly control it. Even if there is no transoceanic telegram, the message will be a week's problem.
As long as the local Ottomans have been evacuated and replaced by immigrants from the country, then there is no need to worry about the rule.
Agriculture Minister Christian answered: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After a pause, Franz added: "Remember to pack the people of the Ionian Islands and the Sinai Peninsula together for the Ottoman Empire. If there is a problem, pay the bribes of the officials of the Sudanese government.
Anyway, the Ottoman Empire has no household registration. The specific number of people in the Sudanese government is a mess. It should not be difficult to fool the past.
The immigration issue should be completed as soon as possible. During the economic crisis, it is the time to do this work at the lowest cost.It also alleviates the crisis."
This is not speculation. In this era, the Ottoman Empire was claimed to be the most corrupt empire in the world. As long as the money was given, there was nothing that the bureaucrats did not dare to do.
Hearing that the immigration work was to be completed as soon as possible, the colonial minister Josip Jelacic had a headache.This time the immigration needs can be quite large. To permanently control these newly added territories, it is impossible to lose people.
At least 30,000 to 40,000 immigrants from Crete, at least 30,000 to 40,000 immigrants from Cyprus, at least 20,000 to 30,000 immigrants from the Ionian Islands, and more than 100,000 immigrants from Libya. Even if the Sinai Peninsula immigrated to 5,000, add up to 20 More than ten thousand people.
People are needed in these areas, and African colonies still need people.Even if the Congo and the Gulf of Guinea are counted, the population of the two places is already large, and the suspension of large-scale immigration is also acceptable.
But Nigeria, which has just started, and Cameroon and Benin, which are infiltrating, absolutely have immigrants.
Otherwise, when John Bull slows down, they will have to do things again.The best choice is like the Gulf of Guinea now. Even the British are very hot-eyed, and after seeing that large group of German immigrants, they lose interest.
In this era, those who went to the colonies to make a fortune have no bullies.Especially the nobles who opened the farms and plantations are the masters who can mount the guns.
On land, the British simply couldn't help them.If there were only 8,000 people in the colony, and one day it turned over with Britain and France, and the colony immediately changed hands.
The Vienna government is not only thinking about opening up colonies, but also thinking about how to keep the colonies. In this context, it is really not enough to not have more than 1.2 million immigrants.
In addition to these areas, the Balkan Peninsula should also be considered.In order to control Wallachia, Moldavia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Vienna government has also developed a million immigration plan.
This immigration can only come from the German region to ensure the smooth progress of national integration, which is also an urgent task.
In order to avoid making multiple orders and competing for immigration, all immigration work was handed over to the colonial ministry.
Yosip Jelacic explained: "Your Majesty, with the improvement of the domestic economic situation, fewer and fewer people are willing to emigrate overseas. In the short term, we will not have enough immigrants.
As you know, in order to facilitate assimilation, every time we organize immigrants, we must break up the resettlement and prevent ethnic minorities from gathering in one area.
Including refugees who have migrated from the Balkans, they are distributed according to a certain proportion to ensure that they cannot form a dominant advantage locally.
This has caused trouble for immigration work. As of now, there are less than 200,000 people who intend to register for immigration in the country, and the total number of applicants in the German region does not exceed 550,000.
Most people tend to immigrate to the Balkan Peninsula, and less than half of the people are willing to go to overseas colonies."
It's normal for Franz to nod his head. Less than a last resort, how can ordinary people be willing to leave their homes?
Even if you immigrate to the Balkan Peninsula, you are still on the mainland, you can go back and forth once a month along the Danube, and it is different overseas.
Even if the Vienna government offered favorable conditions and opened farms and plantations in overseas colonies, the government directly recognized property rights and even had policy loans. Many people were still worried.
"The economy has just spread to the German region, and it will continue for a while. The number of bankrupt people in the German region will increase in the future. This is the opportunity.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated with the governments of various states. They will not stop your actions. They will be the peak period of immigration before the end of the economic crisis.
You have to seize the time now and send the immigrants away as quickly as possible. If it is too late to ship overseas, send them to the Balkan Peninsula.Once the economic crisis is over and everyone finds a job, the situation is different."
The reality is so cruel. Unemployed people during the economic crisis are not wealth, but social risks. Governments in various countries can't wait for them to move faster.
In this context, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vienna has also done work in countries of the German cultural circle such as Switzerland and Belgium, and governments of all countries welcome the recruitment of immigrants from Austria.
Of course, this good opportunity is limited to times of economic crisis.Once the economy has returned to normal, and want to go to the immigration again, even if the governments of various countries do not stop, the local capitalists will not agree.
Only when there is more labor will it be cheaper, which is why it is difficult for European governments to organize immigration on a large scale.
If the Vienna government is not strong enough to overwhelm domestic capitalists, Franz cannot organize such a large-scale immigration.
