The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Although the sea port was obtained, the Sardinian kingdom was not happy.

With the disintegration of the Kingdom of Italy, the whole of Piedmont's politics ushered in a reshuffle.

The returned Savoy royal family can naturally accept it, but this is not the case with the original Italian politicians.

The locals were reluctant to hand over their power, and the two groups fell into an open and secret fight.

This is still a small problem, the most difficult thing is the lack of domestic materials.

The former Kingdom of Sardinia, now the Kingdom of Piedmont, has a population of up to 4 million.

Before disintegration, this number was only 3.3 million.

Not to mention the devastation brought by the war, even if the Piedmont Kingdom is in good condition, 4 million people have exceeded the carrying limit of this land.

Most of the 700,000 difference came from Lombardy and Venice, and a small part was from Sardinia and Sicilian who were unwilling to submit to Spanish rule.

In agriculture, as a mature kingdom, Piedmont completed the asset reform as early as 20 years ago, and there is no undivided land in the territory.

The same is true for factories, which suddenly lost 80% of the market. It would be nice if they didn’t lay off workers. They couldn’t provide new jobs at all.

In Piedmont, the unemployment rate is as high as 38.6%.

Even if they are lucky enough to find a small job, it is not enough to support a family, because they have to face three times the price of Spain with a salary 13 times lower than that in Spain.

As a last resort, the Piedmontese government had to borrow heavily and use the borrowed money to buy supplies.

But borrowing money takes time, and material transportation also takes time, and the people's patience is about to reach its limit.

Over time, they will revolutionize.

then……

"Piedmont wants us to accept refugees?"

In the Royal Palace of Madrid, Alfonso was a little surprised by the news brought by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He did not expect the other party to adopt this solution. After all, everyone knows the importance of population these days.

"Yes, they asked the neighboring countries first. Except for Genoa, which received 50,000, Fao made it clear that he would not accept refugees and could only come to us." Foreign Minister Cruz reported.

Alfonso knew that it was normal for Fao not to accept refugees. France has always been more repulsive to foreigners, not to mention that they are fighting a war.

Austria-Hungary is because there are already too many Italians in its territory - the chain reaction brought by 8.2 million Italians has already begun to emerge within the empire.

There are currently 8.4 million Germans in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and 7.1 million Hungarians. Obviously, if there is another imperial conference, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may be renamed the Austrian-Italian Empire.

In this case, don't expect them to accept even an Italian.

"How much are they going to deliver?" Campos interjected on the side, his expression visibly worried.

With the previous influx of refugees, Spain's population has crossed the 20 million mark.

What follows is that the Italian population in the territory has reached 3.8 million, accounting for 19% of the total population. If it continues to grow, it is very likely that the tail will not be lost.

It's good that the water is slowly absorbed by a long stream, and there is a possibility of clumping if too much comes in at one time.

"600,000." Cruz replied.

...Good guy, this is going to send all the new influx over here.

Seeing that both of them were hesitant to make up their minds, Alfonso made a direct decision:

"Accepted, but most of the previous refugees were sent to Sardinia and Sicily, which is not the case for the 600,000 people.

Each autonomous region in the country can claim a little bit, and you can allocate the specific amount yourself. "

After Alfonso finished speaking, Campos breathed a sigh of relief. He just wanted the population but didn't want to take responsibility. He didn't have to choose the difficulty if someone helped him make a decision.

"Then these 600,000 people must have requirements, otherwise Piedmont must send all the elderly." Campos reminded.

"It's natural." Alfonso nodded:

"The maximum age of these 600,000 people cannot be more than 60 years old, of which those under 40 must be over 23, and those under 50 must be over 56.

In principle, a family should not be separated as much as possible, and the number of orphans should be strictly controlled. "

All young Piedmont will definitely not do it. This figure is a relatively fair number. Of course, it is not that there is no room for manoeuvre, and it can be discussed later.

As for whether it is a child, a man or a woman, Alfonso doesn't care, anyway, it is not the current labor force or the future labor force.

"Oh, right." Alfonso remembered one thing: "It's still the same as before, new Italians have to prepare an ID card, and those without ID cards are illegal.

You can help Piedmont receive a part first, but you must first be placed in Sardinia, and you can enter the mainland of Iberia with an identity card. "

In the past half a month, the effect of the identity card has been quite good, at least the refugees have an identity and household registration.

The Spaniards know that they are not refugees who come and go freely, so they are willing to do business with them and even hire them. The living environment of Italian refugees is much better than before.

Once they have a stable job, they can be registered.

Now that the benefits are so obvious, it is no longer considered a meaningless job in Spain.

Many people have proposed that the ID card system should be popularized across the country. Although it has not yet been converted into a formal proposal, among the top leaders of the Progressive Party, Campos has partnered with Finance Minister Enrique to set up a factory, and the relevant printing facilities are being prepared. middle.

The Prime Minister and the Treasurer have spent their money, and everyone understands that this is going to be 100% passed in the future.

Alfonso knew about it. Campos had just had a meal with the merchant when Adolph turned around and reported his father's every move.

However, Alfonso didn't plan to do anything. It was common for officials to seek personal gain for themselves. As long as it wasn't too much, he would turn a blind eye.

What's more, this is also preparing for the national strategy in advance. In a market economy, such trivial matters must be outsourced, and the government will not do it themselves.

...

Spain is developing steadily, on the other hand, the Franco-Prussian battlefield is more stable.

It has been almost two weeks since the southern French counteroffensive, and the battle lines between the two sides have basically remained the same.

After the French side lost the advantage of the quality of the soldiers, coupled with the disadvantage of the artillery, it was really impossible to push.

On the other hand, the situation of the Prussians was not so good.

Although France, as an attacker, has maintained an exchange ratio of almost 2:1 between France and Prussia, it is this exchange ratio that makes Prussia feel quite uncomfortable.

The patriotic enthusiasm of the French is unparalleled. Prussia basically can't recruit too many puppet troops. Relying on itself, for every soldier killed on the front line, the treasury will be emptied by one point, and the domestic parade will be strengthened by one point.

Coupled with the free hand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it has added potential risks.

Fortunately, with Tsarist Russia there, the situation in the Balkans can be delayed for a while before the situation becomes clear.

Up to now, as wise as Bismarck, he also felt that the situation was confusing and did not know what to do next.
