Holy Roman Empire

The change of human heart is the most difficult to understand. Franz of Pez City is naturally unknown. As an emperor, as long as the world is peaceful, individual thoughts are beyond his consideration.

By now, Austrian government bureaucrats have become accustomed to three major assessment indicators: education, stability, and economy.

The easiest thing to do is to stabilize the society, the government is strong enough, the local powers are safe and secure, and some bad elements that undermine social stability will be dealt with.

The second is "enlightenment." The rules and regulations are there, and in accordance with the plan of the Ministry of Education, it can be promoted step by step.

Of course, if you want to make achievements in this, you must adapt to local conditions and make great efforts.

The most troublesome thing is to develop the economy. Prosperous big cities are fine. Now that the domestic economy is developing rapidly, big cities are the main force of economic growth, as long as appropriate local policies are formulated.

Economic development in remote areas will be much slower. In some places, they just stay there. Even if bureaucrats want to work hard, they don't know where to start.

The uneven economic development in the region has become a difficult problem for the Austrian government, or an unsolvable problem.

Franz can't do anything about it, not to mention that now, even one hundred or two hundred years later, these problems are still problems that plague countries around the world.

There are many factors restricting regional economic development, including: transportation, resources, climate, geographical environment, population ...

In contrast, the easiest to solve is the traffic problem. The big deal is road construction. As long as you are willing to invest, you can solve it sooner or later.

There are also ways to solve the population problem. The climate, resources, and geographical environment cannot be solved by manpower, at least in the 19th century.

Looking at the economic development report in his hand, Franz sighed helplessly.

It is clear that the government will invest a large amount of resources in big cities, which will exacerbate the imbalance in regional economic development, but we must continue to do so.

There is no way to achieve the highest return. It would be desperate to throw even a bubble into the backcountry.

"Prime Minister, why is this water project investment all in the plains?" Franz asked with concern.

Industrial development is in big cities. There is no problem. Agricultural development cannot always consider only plain areas. Many mountainous regions also have development potential.

For political considerations, when the government reinvests, it must also take into account the various regions.

Felix explained: "Your Majesty is mainly a matter of population distribution. At present, the population of Austria is mainly concentrated in the plains, and the population in other regions is relatively small.

From the perspective of optimal allocation of resources, we will focus on developing plain areas with large populations. Other regions have small populations and low competition pressure, and the demand for hydraulic engineering is relatively small. "

Franz nodded. From the perspective of agricultural development, the plain area is more suitable for growing food, and the demand for water conservancy projects is greater.

According to different geographical conditions, it is more suitable to grow cash crops in mountainous areas.

Don't think that it is more profitable to grow cash crops. It is only the 19th century, and people's living standards are limited. Except for a small number of industrial raw materials with high demand, most cash crops are not suitable for vigorous development.

The market demand for high value-added agricultural products in this era is really small. The ordinary people simply cannot afford it, and there are too few people with purchasing power.

There is no need to promote off-season agriculture. The farmer's spontaneous production is enough to meet the market demand. If you want great development, wait until everyone has the money to consider it!

Franz thought for a while and said, "To make a national agricultural production report, each region can carry out pilot economic agriculture according to the actual situation, and then gradually promote the results. For example, in Italy, raw silk can be grown.

In recent years, domestic food production has grown at a rapid rate, and we must plan ahead. In case of accidental change, it is not good for Gu Qi to hurt farmers. "

Grain production is not as much as possible. If it was not for the establishment of the Holy Roman Economic Alliance, Austria ’s agriculture would now have overcapacity.

In this context, it is necessary to promote suitable cash crops in some regions.

The growth of the food demand market in this era cannot keep up with the growth rate of food production. Blindly increasing food production is not suitable for Austria.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Felix replied.

Continuing to look at the report in his hand, Franz suddenly remembered the industrial pollution of later generations. He didn't want Vienna to become London now.

Environmental pollution caused by industrial development is inevitable, but it can be controlled artificially where it pollutes.

For the sake of his good life in the second half of his life, Franz believes that it is necessary to limit the industrial development of Vienna, even at the expense of the speed of urban development.

Franz thought for a while and said, "Vienna is developing too fast. In a few years, the urban population will exceed one million. The population has increased, but the city's supporting facilities have not kept up. It will be a matter of time before problems arise.

Taking into account the actual situation, if the government finds a way to divert some enterprises into other cities, the more polluting enterprises should not be placed in Vienna. "

Diverting some of Vienna's resources and investing in other areas can create a new industrial city, which is very worthwhile to Franz.

Vienna is a landlocked city. Concentrating a lot of resources here is actually a waste of resources.

The development of a city is not necessarily bigger and better, and more bearing capacity must be considered. In Franz's plan, there are two or three million people in Vienna in the future, which is the limit.

With a population of over ten million, Austria does not need it, nor does it have the capacity to host such a megacity.

The Prime Minister Felix thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, capital inflows are all market regulation. Is it not good for us to interfere artificially?"

In this era, the economies of European countries are naturally regulated by the market. Austria is an exception. The government personally intervened in economic development.

However, this kind of intervention is not achieved through administrative orders, but through the formulation of some economic development policies to guide the market, or through state-owned enterprises.

What Franz now proposes is to allow the government to intervene in the market through executive orders, which rarely happens in the world.

Franz shook his head and said, "Explain it to the outside world, that is to say that Vienna's carrying capacity has reached its limit, the population is growing too fast, and our resource supply cannot be guaranteed.

Let the media publicize the adverse consequences caused by the rapid population growth, such as the decline in per capita living space in cities and insufficient supplies of materials.

The government will come forward to work for the capitalists, regardless of the factories that have been set up, and let them move to other cities if they have not yet.

Within the next five years, Vienna will no longer approve of any factories. The factories that have already been established must also undergo rigorous review and must not engage in heavily polluting industries.

Regarding the problem of corporate pollution, the government can set a level based on the harm to the environment and optimize the allocation during the construction of the factory.

With the development of industrial technology, the future heavy polluting industries will continue to increase. Without comprehensive consideration, a factory may destroy a city. "

Vienna is the political, economic, and cultural center of Austria, and Franz does not want to add another industrial center.

Austria has more cities than Vienna for industrial development, and there is no need to set up factories.

If you want to invest in Vienna, you can set up a factory. Franz is not welcome from now on.

It is better to refuse entry now than to build a factory in the future. It is better to drive people outside.

The problem of environmental pollution has not been realized in this era. In other words, the harm caused is not serious.

"Your Majesty, isn't it so serious that a factory can destroy a city?"

"Is this difficult? For example, in our steel plant, if the production capacity is large enough, industrial wastewater discharged by light can pollute a river.

The water source of a city is polluted. Can this city survive? Franz asked back

This is not alarmist, because the water will be polluted in future generations, and the city that was finally destroyed will not be one or two.

This is not to say that industrial wastewater discharged into rivers will only pollute the river water. In fact, groundwater is not immune.

If it is polluted elsewhere, it will be polluted, but not in Vienna. Franz was not ready to move the capital, and anti-micro-duplex gradually became an inevitable choice.

At present, pollution in Vienna is not serious. If it lasts for decades, it may not be necessary. With the development of the chemical industry, one after another, chemical plants were dug up, and the consequences were serious.

London is a case in point, with tens of thousands of people dying from smog every year during peak times. Franz couldn't live in that kind of environment, so he probably moved long ago.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Felix replied.

Can't understand, just go back and understand. Anyway, the concept of "environmental pollution" has serious consequences, which has been remembered by him.
