Chapter 101, they are all smart people

It is easy to remove officials, a government decree is all it takes, and the trouble is how to deal with the aftermath after the removal of officials.

As it turned out, the bureaucratic farm project had failed.

If you want to solve the problem, you must replace it with a group of loyal, honest, capable, not eager for glory and profit, and willing to go to the colonies to live a hard life.

Such bureaucrats may exist, but they are definitely a very minority, and they are treasures wherever they are placed, and there is simply no superfluous to throw them into the colonies.

Prime Minister Terrence Bulkin proposed: "Your Majesty, there is no point in deposing them now, the most important thing now is to ensure that these projects are implemented."

I'd suggest giving them a buffer time to finish the task and only deal with the ones who can't. ”

There must be a buffer time, and for a while the French government simply cannot find so many replacement officials.

The most important thing is to get these people down, and the money still can't be returned. No bureaucrat would be foolish enough to put all his property in his own name.

Moreover, the embezzlement of public funds was not done by one or two people, and there were people from top to bottom, so there was no way to investigate it further.

After calming down, Napoleon IV asked: "Given the buffer time, will they be able to complete the task?" ”

At this point, everyone knows that the project funds allocated by the government have been embezzled from below. The officer in charge may have taken the lion's share, but that's not all.

The biggest problem with the previous plan is money. The government will not reallocate funds, and the person in charge will have to figure out how to solve the shortfall.

Napoleon IV did not think that these bureaucrats could be noble enough to pay for the shortfall themselves, even if it was for their own official hats, and that they had to fill the hole.

You can't expect these guys to get the money back from the people who split the money, right?

Prime Minister Terence Bulkin explained: "It's not possible to do 100 per cent, but there's hope for a half-fold.

The government can put pressure on them to punish officials who fail to produce results. ”

The typical bureaucratic solution, naturally, did not satisfy Napoleon IV, but there was no way, and this was already the best option at the moment.

If you want to clean up these bureaucrats, you can only boil frogs in warm water, and if you are in a hurry, there will be a big mess.

The infighting within the French government is not a glorious thing, and those in the know have tacitly chosen to deal with it in a low-key manner.

If it weren't for the news from the intelligence services, Franz wouldn't have known that France was almost changing again.

However, it was too late at this time, and the best time to intervene was missed.

Otherwise, let Napoleon IV be detained in Algeria, and the awesome French Empire will really fall.

It is easy to detain the emperor, but it is difficult to take control of the French government, the government in Paris will not sit idly by, and no one can carry out a coup d'Γ©tat.

With the discipline of the bureaucrats, it is more likely that the crown prince will be directly supported to succeed to the throne, after all, the young lord is easier to control. Napoleon IV's son is still nursing, and it is definitely the best choice.

However, the young house can't stop the field. The Orleans dynasty and the Bourbon dynasty in China will not buy it, and the colonial bureaucrats who are forced into a corner can only go all the way to the dark.

Then push the Italians out to join in the fun, and a table of mahjong will be live.

There is no way, this is the after-effect of the loss of the majesty of the monarch, the Paris Revolution shook the foundation of Napoleon IV's rule, and the burning of the Palace of Versailles made him even more disgraced.

The French colonial system has eroded, and what is the Austrian colonial system doing now?

No one has been able to answer this question. Perhaps Austrian Africa in the process of localization will be better off with tight government control.

As for the far South Seas and the Americas, it can only depend on the discipline of the bureaucrats, and Franz does not have much expectation anyway.

Putting down the secret document in his hand, Franz sighed. Even if there is a problem, it is not something to deal with now.

That's the graduation exam that Franz prepared for his sons, and if the answer is given in advance, what good will it do?

After adjusting his thoughts, Franz's eyes returned to China, and the difficulties encountered by the French ranch program were also experienced by Austria.

It's just that it's not a farm, it's an enterprise or factory that has been confiscated from the house. Hesitating to confiscate too much at one time, it will not be able to be realized for a while, and it can only be temporarily operated by the government.

I don't have to say, this must be a loss! The enterprise factory can directly receive it, but the customer orders and network cannot be inherited.

The role of the temporary management appointed by the government is more to stabilize people's minds and ensure the smooth progress of production.

As for sales, they are still in the process of exploring, and the results are naturally very average.

Unless a few enterprises with their own sales network can operate normally to ensure profits, most companies have a large backlog of goods, either have lost money, or are hovering on the verge of loss.

At the Vienna Palace, Franz asked: "How far has the realization of assets been carried out?" ”

If you can't make money by yourself, you can only sell it. From the moment the judgement entered into force, the Vienna Government took up the matter.

Prime Minister Karl replied calmly: "All financial and bond assets have been sold, and the larger industrial and mining enterprises have also been sold."

In order not to impact the domestic market, we are ready to hold real estate such as land and houses temporarily, and then decide whether to sell according to the actual situation.

The most tricky thing now is the small factories, which are so numerous that they rely on the boss's own connections, and it is difficult to find suitable buyers.

In addition, we have also discovered the overseas assets of some of the people involved, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is communicating with the countries concerned on this issue. ”

It seems to be an understatement answer, but in fact, it is also full of helplessness. Many people know that they are high-quality assets, but because the business is running at a loss, they still have to sell it.

The biggest problem is not that small industrial and mining enterprises cannot be sold, but because they are not profitable, but mainly because the internal management is too chaotic, and there are many procedures that are not legal, or even simply underground black factories.

For the government, these are junk assets that have no value other than increased expenses and must be disposed of.

Franz nodded: "If you can sell it, you can sell it, if you can't find a buyer, you can go bankrupt."

The French incident has sounded the alarm bell for us, and before we have the ability to operate, we blindly embark on the project, and we can only raise a bunch of moths. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Karl replied

After a pause, Franz continued: "The French farm plan has failed for the time being, and the British food self-sufficiency plan, where has it go?" ”

Austria is also the world's largest exporter of agricultural products and must be wary of potential competitors.

If possible, Franz did not mind sabotaging the Anglo-French plan in order to secure Austria's pricing power in the international agricultural export market.

However, this is not possible. The threshold for grain production is too low, and the importance is too high, and the more Austria destroys, the more Britain and France will push it.

The Minister of Agriculture, Halls, replied: "The British have a different plan than the French, they use government subsidies to farmers and economic means to encourage private farming.

But this policy has recently run into trouble, with local agricultural associations protesting to the government, demanding that the British government treat them equally.

If the London government chooses to compromise, it will mean a reduction of Β£7.8 million in government revenues and an increase in spending of Β£12 million.

With one increase and one decrease, the smaller 20 million pounds is gone, which is already more than the British government's financial capacity can afford.

However, the power of the British Agricultural Association is very strong, and judging by the current situation, the London government should not be able to hold out for long.

Either the subsidy scheme will be abolished, or the subsidy amount will be lowered and subsidized together with domestic farmers. ”

This is a dilemma, abolishing the subsidy program and the food self-sufficiency program fails.

Unified standards are subsidized together, and the government finances can't stand it. After all, the direct revenue that went into the British government was more than 80 million pounds, almost a quarter of which was cut at once.

Franz shook his head: "You are too optimistic, the British government is not stupid." What may seem like a dilemma is actually flexible.

For example, if the subsidy scheme is changed to give a subsidy for a certain number of years to newly cultivated farms, government spending will fall all at once.

This expense can also be repatriated through agricultural product transaction tax, processing tax, and other means, which means that there will be a loss in the first year or two, and it is still expected to achieve a balance in the future. ”

These routines were often played by later countries. A sum of agricultural subsidy expenditure will not only mobilize the enthusiasm of grain production, but also promote the development of the domestic agricultural product processing field and increase jobs.

Generally speaking, the British people's grain planting subsidy policy is much more reliable than the French government's own farms.

Of course, this is not to say that the French government is stupid. France is a major food producer, and the French Agricultural Association is much more powerful than the British Agricultural Association.

If the Paris government had only subsidized grain cultivation on colonial farms, the French peasants would have to rebel. Comprehensive subsidies, and the government finances can't stand it.

The peasant class was the biggest basic plate of the Bonaparte dynasty, and Napoleon IV would not have done the foolish thing of digging his own grave.

In this context, state-owned farms became the best and only option for the French government.
