The development of South Africa is also one of Austria's measures to deal with the agricultural crisis. The newly created jobs are just to resettle bankrupt farmers and avoid the emergence of unemployment.

European people have always been interested in gold, and gold rushing is the easiest way to get rich in this era.As long as you are lucky enough, you can make a fortune.

Austria ’s earliest immigration to Africa broke out. Five out of ten were started through gold mines, and two of the remaining five were used to provide logistics services for gold mining.

In this era, colonies in various countries are short of immigrants. Propaganda is the key to standing out from many competitions.

A beautiful painting cake is indispensable. As for the place, can I find a gold mine to make a fortune?Franz can be sure that 99% of people can't make a fortune.

There is a good joke: the two brothers ran to find a gold mine, and when they got to the place, they discovered that they would not be prospecting at all.

The fact is that, unless it is an open-pit gold mine, and it is still very high in gold content, it can be seen at a glance, otherwise ordinary people will not find it even if they encounter it.

Now that the gold mines have been discovered, there are not many prospecting teams on the South African side. Domestic dignitaries are also organizing prospecting teams. Most of the gold mines are also of these people.

If it was not for the Vienna government to open the gold mine acquisition function, ordinary people found that the gold mine could be sold directly to the government.Otherwise, they will be unable to mine even if they find a gold mine.

Seeing everyone is very active, Franz is very salty.Everyone wants to find a gold mine to make a fortune, so he invests in local farms and plantations.

Facts have proved that the traverser is not a panacea. A point on the map is thousands of square kilometers when it reaches the place, with a deviation of 180 kilometers.

Whether gold mines can be found depends on luck. Although South Africa ’s gold mines are large in scope, they are not as large as tens of thousands of square kilometers.

It is not much different from relying on luck to find gold mines on paper.The very famous gold mines in later generations have no names even in this era.

Even if the name appears, after the Franz's butterfly effect, how big this error is, as long as God knows.

In this case, it is better to forget the salted fish.Gold prospectors may not be able to make money, but those who do logistics will definitely make money.

Investing in farms and plantations nearby to sell bread, cheese, fruits, vegetables, meat products, and other necessities will certainly not cost you money.

Don't look at the outbreak of the agricultural crisis, the prices of agricultural products have plummeted everywhere, but this has little effect on the interior of Africa.

Food can be brought in from outside, cheese, fruits, vegetables, fresh meat products, these things can not be shipped from outside?

Although canned food has appeared, few people can bear it if they eat it every day.

In case of good luck, there is a gold mine below the farm.Who is right about this kind of thing?In West Africa, minerals were discovered more than once under the royal plantations established by Franz.

Not to mention the South African region, gold mines are all appearing together.It ’s true that you can buy land near the gold mine. There are gold mines underground, and you can make a small profit without gold mines.

The news that South Africa has discovered a large number of gold mines is still circulating in small circles, and the outside world is still in the panic of the agricultural crisis.

In Berlin, after the outbreak of the agricultural crisis, the Prussian government became nervous.This is a matter of self-interest, which cannot be tolerated.

I do n’t know when it started, Austria has become the vane of European agriculture, and William I is also closely watching the Vienna government.

Seeing that the Vienna government has introduced a fallow law to limit the increase in grain planting area, it called on all countries to reduce production together.William I didn't feel relaxed, but had more headaches.

Reducing grain output is not a question of one word. It also involves all kinds of interests. The most important thing is the interests of the agricultural Junker nobles.

Today, unlike in the past, Prussia was a grain importing country. Naturally, it would not worry about these problems. Now they have become a grain exporting country.

If the Russians were the craziest in wasteland development, followed by Austria, then the Kingdom of Prussia ranked third.In recent years, the area of ​​cultivated land in the Kingdom of Prussia has also increased by half.

The enthusiasm for growing grain is very high. The land that was wasted in the hands of the Russians is now being efficiently used by the Junker nobles.

Now the trouble is coming and there is excess grain production capacity.This is not a bit of a surplus. According to the data released by the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture, the rate of excess grain production in Europe exceeds 21%.

No matter how much grain production capacity is surplus, grain importing countries are unlikely to reduce their own production capacity, and it is the grain exporting countries that need to reduce production.

Even if some of these grains are wasted for various reasons, the compressed production capacity needs to be shared among countries, which is still not a small number.

The culprit responsible for this is the Russians.According to the estimation of the Russian agricultural planting area, if all these grains can be shipped out, even if other agricultural exporting countries stop grain exports, Europe will still have no shortage of grains.

The reality is so cruel, the international market is too small.

With the increase in the agricultural population of various countries, the amount of land cultivated is also increasing, and the improvement of agricultural technology, the food output of all countries is constantly increasing, but the market growth rate is far behind.

Take Grand France as an example. Because of the increase in grain production in France, foreign imports are expected to decline by two percentage points this year.

These data are released by the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture and will be published once a year. Word of mouth has been established, and the accuracy rate of William I has no doubt.

This is not the first time that countries have been called on to jointly reduce food production capacity.Since 1870, the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture has issued a warning of excess grain production capacity.

However, it has no effect, not even Austria itself can reduce the production capacity, let alone other countries?

"The agricultural crisis has really come. The Austrians have taken practical actions to reduce production capacity. Today, everyone is called to discuss whether we should follow up."

From the bottom of my heart, William I agreed to reduce grain production capacity.If you do not restore the market to normal, no one should think of a good life.

"Your Majesty, Austria is the world's largest agricultural exporter. After the agricultural crisis broke out, they were also the most affected.

Production cuts are now inevitable.Prices in the international food market have collapsed, and the more they export, the more they lose.

On the surface, it was the Anglo-Russian agreement that detonated the agricultural crisis. In fact, the Russian grain had just flowed into the international market, and it was the dumping activities of Austria in the first half of the year that caused the collapse of grain prices.

According to the information we have collected, as of now, Austria has released about 34.2 million tons of agricultural products to the international market, of which more than 30 million tons of grain.

This has exceeded 81% of their total turnover in the international food market in 1871.If the Vienna government does not resume its strategic reserves in the second half of the year and purchases grain from the market, prices will continue to collapse.

It seems that it is just to stop the Russians from returning to the international market. In fact, this is an excuse to drag everyone together.

If no measures are taken, international food prices will continue to slump in the next two to three years.During this period, the more food you sell, the more you will lose. If you do n’t sell it, you wo n’t be able to return your money.

Our share in international grain exports is only 6.6%, and even if we cut production capacity, we cannot save the situation.Unless the Russians are willing to reduce production, the crisis will not end in a short time.

The top priority is to protect the local market.I suggest to reduce or exempt agricultural tax and agricultural product export tax, and at the same time increase the agricultural product import tariff, when necessary, you can follow the example of Austria and adopt the lowest grain purchase price to protect farmers' income."

Mao Qi ’s opinion is very clear, and the government cannot interfere with everyone ’s free cultivation.The reason is very simple. If Prussia cuts production, the Russians will not cut production. That is to make wedding dresses for the enemy.

"Prime ministers, it is easy to increase import tariffs on agricultural products, but the resulting chain reaction has to be considered.

Pupo relations are at a critical moment. Now what will the Polish think of raising agricultural import tariffs?

If they tit-for-tat increase the import tariffs on China's industrial and commercial products, the agricultural crisis will also affect industry.

Don't forget, our financial situation is already very bad.If so, the fiscal deficit this year will increase substantially.Perhaps it won't be long before we can declare bankruptcy."

It is not that Gorman is unwilling to protect agriculture, the problem is that as the Chancellor of the Treasury, he is very aware of the crisis in Prussia ’s finances.

Only by reducing or exempting agricultural taxes and agricultural product export duties, the revenue of the Kingdom of Prussia will be reduced by more than 56 million marks, which is already very dangerous.

If higher import tariffs on agricultural products cause Poland to increase import tariffs on Prussian industrial products, then Prussia ’s fragile industry and commerce will also be hit hard.

This will trigger a chain reaction. If it is not possible, it will be an industrial crisis, and the final loss will never be a small number.

Prussia does not have a flood in the colonial market, and its products do not compete internationally with the three countries of Anglo-French, and the Polish market is very important to them.

Mao Qi smiled indifferently, and explained casually: "Not so serious, the Poles dare not turn against us.

It ’s easy to deal with them, as long as we agitate Polish radical groups and ask them to make territorial claims to Austria.

After offending the neighbors of two behemoths, does the Polish government have a choice?"

This explanation left Gorman nothing to say. There is no way. Now Poland is not a normal country, and internal chaos is not enough.

This trick has little effect on other countries, no one will be so self-confident, but Poland is an exception, they can do this kind of thing.
