Affected by the French ranch plan, British experts and scholars have also advocated the "grain self-sufficiency strategy" and suggested that the government open up grain warehouses belonging to Britain in overseas colonies.

Unlike the French, the British have too many options. With the advantages of the Royal Navy, in essence, Britain does not have to worry about food issues.

Whether it is a coalition country in North America, or Argentina and Brazil in South America, it is the granary of Britain.

Even New Zealand, Australia, Canada and other regions that have just been developed have the potential to become imperial granaries.

It's really not enough. Squeezing from India is enough.

Anyway, the population of the British Isles is so small, the local can provide 70% of its own food, and the remaining millions of people have the problem of eating for John Bull.

No matter how high Britain ’s food security is, it does not prevent experts and scholars from bragging. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing left to do.

In terms of pounds, experts quickly listed a lot of reasons. Even the Irish famine, which was ashamed of seeing people, was taken out and talked about.

The government hasn't responded yet, and the civilians panicked first. I do n’t know which unscrupulous capitalists are spreading rumors, claiming that Russia and Austria have suffered drought, and the autumn grains in the second half of the year have failed.

Someone has believed such a ridiculous rumor, not one or two, because food prices have really risen.

As a lawyer, Bill's knowledge is much stronger than ordinary people, without being affected by rumors, he ran to buy food.

"Sir, in recent times, there has been a crazy drought in Eastern Europe. Russia and Austria have suffered a fall in grain this year, and the price of food in London has risen slightly.

In order to reduce expenses, it is recommended that you hoard a batch of food first. If you have sufficient funds, you can reserve more and wait for the grain price to rise before selling it. "

Butler's reminder did not shake Bill's judgment. What kind of drought can make Russia and Austria lose all their food?

You have to know that this is June, and it didn't take long for the grain to grow, and there is still a long time before the harvest of autumn grain.

Even if there is no rain in the first half of the year, as long as there is enough rain in the back, most of the crops can be kept.

If the grains of the Russian-Austrian League were in absolute failure, the international grain prices would be skyrocketing.

A slight increase?

If you do not increase it three or five times, you will be sorry for the conscience of the capitalists.

Bill smiled and said: "These are all rumors, and only ignorant idiots will believe. If the grains of Russia and Austria fail, they will have stopped exporting grain.

Without Russian and Austrian food, the international food market will be paralyzed. The most sensitive futures markets have not responded, so there is nothing to worry about. "

This is a fact, and the futures market is indeed the most sensitive. On the contrary, there are signs of a drop in grain production capacity, and the dealers will not give up the hype.

"Yes, sir. I also think that the Russian-Austrian food harvest is impossible, but the drought may be true.

Just yesterday, the London Daily also reproduced a drought-resistance plan of the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture. If there was no drought, such a plan would never appear.

With the credibility of the London Daily, they should not lie on such news. The futures market did not respond, it is likely that the dealer concealed the news. "

After listening to the butler's explanation, Bill suddenly believed three points. After all, the futures market is too heavily manipulated by market makers, and many times it goes up or down. It is really not determined by the market.

After hesitating for a while, Bill made a decision: "Then buy a batch of grain first, but you don't have to go to the grain store to buy it. I will contact the wholesaler directly."

...

There are still many people who make similar decisions in the spirit of "believing in what is better than believing in nothing".

Anyway, food is a necessity of life, even if the price does not rise in the later period, it is still reserved to eat slowly.

It is better than not being prepared, and waits for food prices to surge before buying food.

Affected by the panic buying trend, London's food prices have been bullish all the way, and affected by this price increase, more and more people have joined the food grab team.

In the prime minister's mansion of Downing Street, the intensified rush to grab grain has made Prime Minister Gladstone nervous.

The people take food as the sky, and it is universal in ancient and modern times.

Just a rumor can raise British food prices, enough to prove that Britain ’s food security is not so stable.

Gladstone: "For the most recent period, people have advocated food self-sufficiency and domestic food prices have continued to rise. What do you think?"

How to see, sit and watch.

Everyone present clearly understood that the French were working on a ranch project. A group of people who wanted to profit from it manipulated public opinion behind the scenes and created panic artificially.

Minister of Agriculture Dies Barrerus: "The government has arranged to refute the rumor, but it has had little effect temporarily. After a while, the domestic grain prices will stabilize.

From this volatility, we have also confirmed our food security from the side. It has been affected too much by outsiders and is not as stable as we thought.

Fortunately, this time it was just a rumor. If Russia and Austria really suffered a drought, the consequences would be serious.

In terms of safety, the French food self-sufficiency plan is still very worthy of our emulation. "

Regardless of whether or not money can be made, once the agricultural self-sufficiency program is launched, the Ministry of Agriculture ’s voice in the government will increase greatly.

As one of the vested interests, Diess Barrerus could not object.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers warned: "We are not the same as the French. A strategic plan that works in France may not work in Britain.

The French are not in the free trade system. They are engaged in food self-sufficiency programs and can rely on tariff barrier protection. This investment is still guaranteed.

Judging from the current situation, a decline in international food prices is inevitable, and future market competition will be fierce.

If we follow suit, we must compete directly with the world ’s major grain-producing countries, and perhaps even the cost of growing grain will not be sold.

From an economic perspective, this is an investment destined to lose money. The domestic market turmoil is only temporary and will soon recover.

There are too many places where Britain can import food. With the Royal Navy there, there is no need to worry about being blocked. "

While enjoying the benefits of the free trade system, Britain must also be subject to the free trade system.

In normal times, nothing is bad. Anyway, Britain imports industrial raw materials and food, and these essential goods do not need tariff barriers at all.

If you want to achieve food self-sufficiency, you will not be able to compete directly with the major food-producing countries, or to fight price wars.

Whatever you think, you know that growing food in a colony will cost more to produce than other food exporting countries.

Losing money and shouting, at most gaining a reputation for food self-sufficiency, has little effect on the growth of the British Empire.

Foreign Minister George retorted: "In the economy, we may lose money, but the politics is different.

Judging from the performance of the French, they are gradually losing their power to check and balance Austria, and the European balance is being broken.

The French agricultural plan seems to be just to ensure its own food security, but it is also a retaliation against Austria.

If we follow up, the international food market will shrink by half. Affected by this, countries that rely on food exports will be hit hard.

As the world's largest exporter of agricultural products, Austria is the first to bear the brunt, which helps to balance the strength comparison between France and Austria. "

Whoever is strong will suppress it. This is the foreign policy of the British government that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Now it is Austria ’s turn.

The more questions considered, the harder it was for Prime Minister Gladstone to make a decision. This is not just a question of money, it also involves the political changes in the European Union of the British government.

After hesitating for a while, Gladstone asked, "Did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs consider the reaction of the Russians?"

This is not a problem to suppress one, but to suppress two big powers at the same time, Russia and Austria are in a group, and it is an invincible combination on the world island.

In case of anxiety, people use the war to divert the crisis, regardless of going straight to India, then it will be fun.

Foreign Minister George shook his head: "The Russian-Austrian alliance has continued for three generations, and the interests of the two countries have long been intertwined for nearly a century.

We have also put a lot of effort into breaking up this alliance, but now the two countries are still standing together.

How about the diplomatic tactics of the Habsburg dynasty, just look through the history book. Franz is the leader of all monarchs in the past, and it is simply unrealistic to isolate Austria.

The Russian-Austrian League cannot be separated for a while, and since the Russians expanded into Central Asia, they have been our enemies and offended.

After the international food market has shrunk, Russia and Austria will diverge because of their interests in order to compete for the market.

Even if the alliance becomes more consolidated, the situation will not be worse than it is now. "

Threatening India?

Without action, Russia and Austria will not threaten India? In George's view anyway, powerhouses close to India are hidden dangers.

No way, the crisis awareness of marine civilization is so strong. Rather than facing the powerful Russia-Austria, it is better to face the weakened Russia-Austria.

As long as the gold owner of Austria has no money, the poor Russians will not be able to toss. As for Austria, isn't there still French control?

Although France's economy is not good, everyone still has no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the French army.

If there weren't such a big boss, the British would have fallen asleep, and now Austria can be much more powerful than the German Empire during the same period in history.

After hesitating for a while, Gladstone, a politically-minded man, decided to play football.

"The agricultural self-sufficiency plan involved tens of millions of pounds of investment. It was too hasty for us to make decisions alone.

The Ministry of Agriculture prepares a plan and submits it to Parliament for consideration. "
