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 to avoid unemployment.

European people's interest in gold has always been strong. The gold rush is the easiest way to get rich in this era. As long as luck is good enough, you can make a fortune.

Austria's earliest immigration to Africa broke out, and five out of ten started out with gold mines, and two of the remaining five were used as logistic services for gold mining.

In this era, colonies in all countries are short of immigrants. Propaganda is the key to wanting to stand out from the competition.

A beautiful painting cake is essential. As for the place, can you find a gold mine and get rich? Franz can definitely say that 99% of people are unable to make money.

There is a good joke: The two brothers ran to find gold mines, only to find out that they would not explore at all.

This is the case, unless it is an open-pit gold mine and the gold content is particularly high, it can be seen at a glance, otherwise ordinary people will not find it even if they encounter it.

Now the gold mines have been discovered. South Africa does not know how many prospecting teams. The domestic powers are also organizing prospecting teams. Most of these people have gold mines.

If it wasn't for the Vienna government's opening of the gold mine acquisition function, ordinary people found that gold mines could be sold directly to the government. Otherwise, they will not be able to mine even if they find a gold mine, or they will cause death.

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

Facts have proved that a traverser is not a panacea. A point on the map is a few thousand square kilometers when it arrives. The deviation is a hundred and eighty kilometers.

Whether or not you can find a gold mine depends on luck. Although the scope of gold mines in South Africa is large, it is not as large as tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Relying on paper to find a gold mine is not much different from luck. Later generations were very famous for gold mines, and there were no names in this era.

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

In this case, it's better to forget about salted fish. The gold rushers may not be able to make money, but those who do logistics will definitely make money.

Invest in nearby farms and plantations to sell bread, cheese, fruits, vegetables, meat products and other necessities, and you can't lose 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 inland regions of Africa.

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

Although canned foods have appeared, few people can bear them if they eat the stuff every day.

In case of luck, there might be a gold mine under the farm. Who can say such things? In West Africa, minerals were discovered more than once under the royal plantation established by Franz.

Not to mention in South Africa, gold mines are all coming together. It's right to buy land near the gold mine. There are big gold mines underground, and you can make a small profit without gold mines.

News of the discovery of a large number of gold mines in South Africa is still circulating in the small circle, and the outside world is still sinking in the panic of the agricultural crisis.

In Berlin, the Prussian government became tense after the agricultural crisis. This is related to one's own interests and cannot be allowed to be sloppy.

I don't know since when Austria became the vane of European agriculture, and William I followed the Vienna government closely.

Watching the Vienna government issue a fallow law to limit the increase in the area of ​​grain cultivation, calling on countries to reduce production together. William I didn't feel relaxed, but even more headache.

Reducing grain production is not a matter of words. It also involves all interests, and the most important thing is the interests of agricultural Junkers.

This time is different from the past. At the time, Prussia was a food importer. Naturally, they would not worry about these issues. Now they have become food exporters.

If the Russians were the craziest in land reclamation and Austria was close behind, the Kingdom of Prussia would be third. The area of ​​arable land in the Kingdom of Prussia has also increased by half in recent years.

Everyone is very enthusiastic about growing grain. The land that was wasted in the hands of the Russians is now effectively used by Junker aristocrats.

Trouble is coming now, and there is excess food production capacity. This is not a one-star surplus. According to data released by the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture, the European grain overcapacity rate exceeds 21%.

No matter how much grain production capacity is surplus, it is impossible for grain importing countries to reduce their own production capacity, and all grain exporting countries need to reduce their output.

Even if some of this food is wasted for various reasons, the capacity that needs to be compressed and distributed to countries is still not a small number.

The culprit behind this is the Russians. According to the estimation of Russian agricultural planting area, if all the grain can be shipped out, even if other agricultural exporting countries have stopped exporting grain, Europe will not be short of grain.

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

With the increase of the agricultural population in various countries, the amount of cultivated land is also increasing, as well as the improvement of agricultural technology, the grain output of each country is constantly increasing, but the market growth rate is far behind.

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

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

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

However, it has no effect, and even Austria itself has not been able to reduce its production capacity, let alone other countries?

"The agricultural crisis is really here. The Austrians have taken practical actions to reduce their production capacity. Today I am calling everyone to discuss whether we should follow up."

Deep down, William I agreed with the reduction of grain production capacity. If you don't bring the market back to normal, no one should want to have a good life.

"His Majesty, Austria is the world's largest agricultural exporter. After the outbreak of the agricultural crisis, they have also suffered the most.

It is actually necessary to reduce production now. Prices on the international grain market have collapsed, and the more exports are now the more they are compensated.

On the surface, it was the British-Russian agreement that set off the agricultural crisis. In fact, the Russian food has just flowed into the international market, causing the price of food to collapse.

According to the information we have collected, so far, Austria has released about 34.2 million tons of agricultural products to the international market, of which more than 30 million tons of light food.

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

It seems only to stop the Russians and prevent them 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 be low 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 will not be able to return your funds.

Our share of international food exports is only 6.6%, and even a reduction in production capacity cannot restore 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 propose to reduce or exempt agricultural taxes and agricultural product export taxes, while increasing agricultural product import tariffs. When necessary, you can follow Austria and adopt the minimum purchase price of grain to protect farmers' income. "

Mao Qi's opinion is very clear, the government cannot interfere with everyone's free planting. The reason is very simple. If the Prussian production is reduced and the Russians do not reduce it, it is making wedding dresses for the enemy.

"Prime Minister, it is easy to raise import tariffs on agricultural products, but the chain reaction caused has to be considered.

The relations between Poland and Poland are at a critical moment. Now that the tariffs on agricultural products are raised, what will the Polish think?

If they tit-for-tat increase import tariffs on Chinese industrial and commercial products, the agricultural crisis will also affect industries.

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

It's not Gorman's unwillingness to protect agriculture. The problem is that, as Chancellor of the Treasury, he knows how much Prussia's finances are in crisis.

It is only very dangerous to reduce or exempt agricultural taxes and agricultural export tariffs. The revenue of the Kingdom of Prussia will be reduced by more than 56 million marks.

If the increase in import tariffs on agricultural products causes Poland to increase import tariffs on Prussian industrial products, Prussia's fragile industry and commerce will also be hit hard.

This will cause a chain reaction. If it is not good, it will be an industrial crisis. 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 with Britain, France, and Austria in international competition. The Polish market is very important to them.

Mao Qi smiled indifferently and explained casually: "It is not so serious that the Poles dare not turn their heads at us.

It is easy to deal with them. Just encourage the Polish radical groups and ask them to make territorial claims to Austria, and we will come out afterwards.

After offending two behemoth neighbors, does the Polish government have any choice? "

This explanation left Gorman speechless. There is no way. Now Poland is not a normal country, and internal chaos is too bad.

This move has little effect on other countries, and no one is so overwhelmed, but Poland is an exception, and they can do it.
