"But what kind of work does the empire have to offer them now?" Caprivi asked.

"Who's to say no? Infrastructure that could not be implemented in the past due to financial and labor problems can now be done. Now there is a surplus of labor, anyway, the government will do these infrastructure projects in the future, and now there is no need to give relief funds, isn't it just right to pay for the workers to carry out infrastructure construction? Jochen replied.

"The investment and cycle of infrastructure construction are very long, Your Highness." Caprivi was a little worried

"So do you think this economic crisis will pass quickly? I'm not so optimistic, it's just the beginning, and I'm referring to the previous economic crises, how to see that there is no possibility of improvement in two or three years. Besides, after the infrastructure is completed, it is also a real fixed asset of the state, and it is not that there is no input but no output, and the empire loses money and pays money. Jochen responded.

"Then the main infrastructure is the construction of railways and highways, and the automobile has begun to slowly become popular, and the road network of the empire will indeed undergo a certain amount of transformation." Caprivi really had enough vision for economic construction, and Bismarck would never have seen this.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is really looking ahead, BMW's car sales are indeed steadily improving, and in the future, the Imperial Highway needs to be widened to accommodate more and more and faster vehicles." Jochen complimented Caprivi for a moment, then continued, "But in addition to transportation, there are some infrastructure that deserves the Empire's great efforts. For example, in the slums around the city, the dilapidated houses, old houses, and dilapidated houses are renovated, and the government pays for the construction of new houses, demolishes the original low, scattered, and messy houses, builds new residential buildings, and uses higher floors to save land area, and then the government comes forward to rent these houses at low prices to families with housing difficulties, and whether these families are qualified to live in these low-rent houses needs to be checked by the government and set a standard.

This has three advantages, the first is to improve the appearance of the city, improve the land utilization rate, and the formation of new residential areas will also lead to the construction of supporting basic living facilities and commercial facilities. Second, the construction of these houses will allow construction-related industries to continue to operate. Third, it has improved people's living standards, and the solution of the housing problem will also make workers have no worries. Of course, the property rights of these houses belonged to the empire, and the occupants only had the right to use them. Set a more suitable service life, after the life will be used, residents need to re-apply and review the use of qualifications, lest some people have the ability to buy a house and still rely on it. The specific housing specifications and rent standards are set by the government. ”

"Your Highness is really merciful, such a policy will make those laborers grateful to Dade." Caprivi exclaimed.

"What I need is not their gratitude, but their labor. All policies that are beneficial to them must also implement the basic principle that no workers can not eat, and we give them benefits in order to make them have greater enthusiasm for work, not to raise a group of lazy people, and this must be well controlled by the empire. ”

"In addition, the government can try to contact large companies to see if they are willing to build uniform staff dormitories, so that their employees can go to work more easily, and with uniform housing, the mobility of employees will be reduced. Moreover, as a welfare package for enterprises, it is also very attractive to workers. Sue them that the land price empire can give them preferential treatment if they wish. In this way, the government can get a part of the money from the sale of the land, and secondly, the construction funds will be borne by the enterprises. This can help reduce the pressure on the government. Remember, if you want to find companies that have a large number of employees, have strong strength, and are really willing to build staff dormitories, I don't want to end up selling land and selling land. "For enterprises that don't do business, run to do real estate, and then everyone speculates on housing prices together, this kind of thing has seen a lot in Yoheng's previous life, and this kind of thing must be eliminated.

"Yes, Your Highness." At this time, Caprivi was already convinced, and replied with a respectful salute.

The construction of low-rent houses and dormitory apartments is not a whim of Jochen, not to mention that the state must allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment in order to have long-term peace and stability, nor that the Europeans believe that the emperor is the source of all good, and that it is necessary for the monarch to respond to the expectations of his subjects, not to mention that Jochen believes that as a conscientious capitalist, "you must be kind to everyone who creates wealth for yourself." The consequences of the color revolution alone sent chills down Jochen's body.

Beginning with the French Revolution, this great progress, which would later be called in the history books of mankind, was accompanied by squalor and blood. The so-called revolutionaries in France broke the original order before it was able to establish its own order, and then disorder and chaos followed. After repeated purges and riots, France completely lost its national power to compete with Britain. Madame Roland, who was the core figure of the Girondists, died on the guillotine built for herself by the revolutionary comrades who had fought with her and led the people in the pursuit of freedom. It also reveals the darkness of this so-called "revolution".

It was precisely because of the many atrocities of the French Revolution that the monarchs of all Europe were afraid of it, that the whole of Europe united to form an anti-French alliance in an attempt to strangle France after the revolution.

In fact, the birth of the Soviet Union is also this virtue, in the revolution of Tsarist Russia, the Bolshevik Party did those bad things, in Jochen's view, there is no difference between the terrorists, hatred of the rich, anger, speculation and disorder, after the beast in people's hearts is released, the so-called October Revolution is no different from the October riots in the eyes of Jochen, the Soviet Union is a great country, but the birth of this country is quite dirty, bloody and distorted. Sure enough, it is impossible to make Mao Zi as ideologically conscious as my republic.

On 14 July 1889, the Second International was founded in Paris, a world organisation of the workers' movement with a large number of Germans. This year's 35-seat Parliament by the Social Democrats has given the working class considerable political power in Germany. Consider that the Social Democrats announced the end of the empire from the balcony of the Reichstag, and then signed the humiliating Treaty of Versailles, and the continent's first power instantly became Europe's first dead fish, a change that made Jochen shudder.

Jochen was not opposed to socialism, and didn't Marx say that with the development of the productive forces and the great abundance of materials, socialism is the inevitable transition from capitalism to communism. Moreover, after entering the 21st century, the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States has also caused some well-wishers to exclaim, "Is the world's largest capitalist country finally about to enter the socialist era?" Therefore, it is inevitable to enter socialism, Germany must be a socialist country in the future, I don't see that we implemented the social security system N years earlier than the world.

But if this alternation of political power would make Germany a defeated country, then Jochen would not allow it. As a "class enemy" of a capitalist and a large landowner, someone came to change his life, and Jochen would never stand idly by. So enlist the support of the proletariat from the Social Democrats, and let them know that the empire will support them in their dignity, wealth and a good life if they are willing to sweat. Only in this way can there be a sufficient foundation for promoting one's own state socialism and strengthening the order and cohesion of the country.

This is not a game, we must stabilize the working class, and we must also stabilize the peasant class. Before Caprivi could finish digesting it, Jochen continued to stuff him.

"Also, we are now very rapid urban construction, rural infrastructure is relatively backward, which will also cause the loss of agricultural population, the Junkers have been complaining about young people losing their land and running to the city, in addition to wages, it is not because the rural supporting facilities are too poor. We can also carry out rural infrastructure construction. This will also improve the living standards of farmers and will be more beneficial to agricultural production. ”

"Like building canals, reservoirs, roads, etc.?" Caprivi was also quick to respond.

"Yes, there are also ways to make it easier for the rural population to seek medical treatment and go to school, to establish township primary hospitals, basic compulsory education schools, and so on. Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture is worried about this year's grain harvest, and considering the possibility of a poor harvest, on the one hand, it will continue to import grain, and on the other hand, the state can set a minimum grain purchase price, and the state can purchase the output of farmers uniformly to ensure their income. Moreover, whether in urban or rural areas, policies conducive to improving the living environment such as greening, sewage and garbage disposal can also be implemented. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." At this time, Caprivi could only be a sound worm, and these policies and measures to expand domestic demand, which were common in the 21st century, were undoubtedly ahead of their time at the end of the 19th century. Caprivi had seen the crown prince's whims when he was Lord of the Navy, and now Jochen's cousin surprised the new chancellor of the empire, which was indeed "a God-given treasure to the House of Hohenzollern".

This is not the end, Jochen said with a smile: "Although these are all ways to expand domestic demand, increase the infrastructure of the empire, and provide employment, it takes time to start the work in earnest, the preliminary preparation, the coordination between various departments, and the formulation of rules and regulations. And don't we happen to have a large-scale national infrastructure project in progress now, and wouldn't it be nice to increase the number of manpower and expand the scale to continue to do it? ”

Caprivi didn't react for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, which project are you talking about?" ”

"Which one else could it be? O Kiel Canal, gather men and let them dig a pit. ”
