Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 891: Qualified Bureaucrats
Originally because of the international tensions, the price of food in France rose sharply, and the announcement issued by the Paris government at this time was even more fueling.
Everyone knows that there is a problem with the food supply in France.Although the French government has repeatedly guaranteed that domestic food supply will not be affected, there has been an outbreak of food grabs among the people.
In order to make huge profits, the capitalists deliberately exaggerated the food crisis, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky.
It is not an indisputable fact that the price of grain can be quelled by words. Anything else can be fooled. The amount of grain flowing into France is decreasing.
Affected by the fluctuations in food prices, Rafael's life is not easy.In order to quell domestic grain prices, Napoleon IV ordered state-owned farms to return to China immediately after the harvest of autumn grain.
As the person in charge of the farm plan, Rafael knows the operation of overseas farms very well.The output on the book and the actual output of the farm are completely two concepts.
Because of natural conditions and bureaucratic management, the cost of grain production on overseas farms remains high, far exceeding international grain prices.
Because of tariff barriers, the inflow of foreign grains has to bear high tariffs, and the grain prices in France have been at a high level.
Importing grain makes more money than planting it yourself, and bureaucrats will not have trouble with money, and naturally know how to choose.
Napoleon IV cleaned it once, and it was only a part of the face-saving project. Most of the farms are still indiscriminate.
There is also a need to complete a full set of plays. The central government is not a fool. If the farm produces 100,000 tons of wheat but delivers 110,000 tons of wheat to the country, it will definitely be found to have problems.
Stupid bureaucrats have been eliminated, and those who can stay and earn money are smart people.In order to make huge profits, everyone has become a model of wasteland development.
The farms on the books will reclaim a large amount of land every year, and the grain production capacity will continue to rise, creating a prosperous situation artificially.
With fabricated data, everyone deceived financial subsidies from the government and engaged in food smuggling for huge profits.
It is no longer possible, international food prices have skyrocketed, and the originally profitable business has now become a money-losing business. Bureaucrats who are aware of the crisis are beginning to find a way out.
Recently, Rafael has received a lot of resignation letters every day, many of which are printed on the paper.
After Napoleon IV's grain transportation order was ordered, and Rafael did not react, the farm officials were a third less.
The big men all ran away, and the rest were all small fish that couldn't be ran, and the mess hit Rafael.
With a "bang" sound, Rafael threw away the thick stack of resignation letters and said fiercely: "Cole told these damn guys that they want to resign and solve this problem first. Let me talk about it.
Otherwise, everyone will lay their eggs together, no matter who their background is, I will send them to hell before I go to prison.
By the way, if you do n’t return within a week, your name will appear on the wanted order as a spy."
No more hard work, the mess broke out at this time, enough to kill anyone. Rafael had not lived enough to bear this pot.
Although the crisis is serious, it is not without first-line vitality.Theoretically, as long as we find a way to fill the grain hole, this crisis can be overcome.
Over the years, everyone has made a lot of money.Simply from the economic point of view, it is still affordable to take out part of the difference.
Cole's man replied bitterly, "His Excellency, once this order is given, I am afraid that the rest will run out.
The problem now is not money. If it is simply a loss, everyone will not run so fast.
After all, the positions of the farm are all fat, and the money that needs to be paid now can be doubled back in the future.
The key is that there is money now, and there is no place to buy enough food!
After the Austrian government scanned the goods in advance, it initiated a monopoly in the international market and prohibited grain from flowing into France.
Even smuggling doesn't work, no matter how smugglers are bullying, there is no way to smuggle millions of tons of food in a short period of time.
At most, we will pay a high price to transfer a small amount of food from other countries, and we simply cannot complete the government's task."
After listening to Cole's explanation, Rafael finally understood why so many officials ran away.
In fact, this time things are too big, and they have caught up with this point of view. Once exposed, all sectors of society will not be able to spare them.
If you do n’t run at this time, you wo n’t have a chance to run.Anyway, it is easy to run this year. As long as you have money, you can hide in a certain country abroad and come back after the limelight passes.
Count Rafael scolded: "It's a group of idiots, idiots! Can't buy it abroad, can't you buy it at home?
As long as we transport the full amount of grain back to the country as required by the government, who cares where the grain comes from!
This is not possible. First, we borrow a batch of grain from the grain wholesalers we are working with for emergency. Anyway, the grain on the farm is also sold to them."
Deep inside, Rafael despised the bureaucrats who had hurriedly ran away and had no resilience.
"Order the farms to compile a locust plague report with more detailed information and notes, and attach the photos prepared in advance to the government.
Remember, as long as the farms in Algeria and Morocco cut production, the Egyptian side will not move first, it will be discovered too deliberately.
The combined production cuts and cutbacks are tentatively set at about 25%, so that the people below do not make me smart.
Everyone thinks of a way, whether it be borrowing, buying, or cheating. I do n’t care. Every farm must return at least 30% of the specified amount of grain after the autumn harvest.
The rest made excuses for me. After the war broke out, I found a way to dump the pot to the Austrians."
It is impossible to completely stop the harvest. If so, it is estimated that Napoleon IV will kill.
Rafael hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to challenge the emperor's bottom line.It's almost a quarter cut.
Misrepresentation of political achievements has always been the norm in the French government. Everyone is bragging, otherwise how can France keep pace with the British Olympics?
It ’s just that there is a limit to making false reports. It is acceptable for everyone to enlarge it by more than 10% or more than 20%.
There is no doubt that the farm plan in France has a water content that is several times or tens of times. The exact amount of water depends on the ethics of the responsible bureaucrats.
In a sense, Rafael ’s distribution also takes into account the principle of fairness.
On a farm with low water content, bureaucrats have little benefit, and their own production capacity may be enough. Now there is no need for heavy bleeding.
On farms with severe moisture or simply on paper, money was swallowed by the responsible bureaucrats, and it is time for them to bleed.
Moreover, it is not completely lost.The government has to pay for the surrendered food, and the only thing the bureaucrats lose is the price difference.
Hemorrhage does not hurt the muscles and bones, which is acceptable to most bureaucrats.
After all, everyone is holding the golden rice bowl, and the loss now can be doubled back in the future.There is no need to be in disregard for such a small benefit.
"Yes, count!"
Now Cole admires Count Rafael's five-body cast, and such a big thing has been resolved in a few words.
