Chapter 288： Transfer crisis (2/2)
Since the Vienna government packaged a series of lines and authorized them to railway companies, the ”money path” of railway companies has not been so bright.
The savvy consortiums retreated as early as the outbreak of the US economic crisis, and now they are locked in by speculators who are slow to respond.
Franz naturally cannot help them solve the problem. You must know that the railway company will not see profits in the next ten years. This kind of long-term project has no one to back it up, and relying solely on the investment of the Vienna government, that funding pressure is too great.
If possible, he would rather have private capital complete the railways of the new Holy Roman Empire than the compromised public-private partnerships now.
Relying on a series of capital, Austria has added more than 14,800 kilometers of railways in less than ten years. The total mileage of the entire New Holy Roman Empire railway has exceeded 20,000 kilometers.
If it is invested by the government, it is estimated that the Vienna government can't even complete half of the project. This is the power of money. The poor Vienna government cannot afford such a large project.
Even now, the Vienna government cannot afford this huge investment. The infrastructure construction currently underway is carried out by borrowing money.
Directly making Austria the fourth largest debtor in the world after Britain, France, and the United States, the Vienna government will work hard to repay debt in the coming decades.
War is the best way to transfer the crisis, but unfortunately the African continent is a bit far away, otherwise Franz wouldn't mind winning several indigenous kingdoms to survive the economic crisis.
However, the expansion of Shidang is still necessary, and the plunder of wealth will not be said, at least the land for resettlement must be snapped up first.
The overpopulation in the German region is not a day or two. The Austrian region is still quite good. It has sent hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the Balkans and tens of thousands to the colonies. The population pressure is not too great.
The rest of Germany is different. Every time an economic crisis erupts, a wave of unemployment emerges.
This time it happened that the United States also had an economic crisis. It is estimated that at this time they just wanted to emigrate and they would not welcome them.
Josip Jelacic replied: ”His Majesty, our colonial ministry has established an immigration plan. In order to attract immigrants from the German region, we have proposed two types of immigration:
First, accept government employment, immigrants go to the colonies to open farms, and the government arranges specific locations. All immigration costs are borne by the government. They do not need to worry about work.
Of course, this requires the signing of a five-year labor contract. I gave a salary that is 20% higher than that of the local government. During this period, the government provided one free family visit.
Second, for free immigrants, whoever chooses to settle in any of our colonial strongholds, the government subsidizes half of the ticket costs. ”
Franz nodded, this is the best condition that the Vienna government can provide. The main purpose of opening these farms and plantations is to keep rewards for their achievements.
After all, the local land is limited. Even if the nobles are enshrined, most of them are just nominal titles. Many lands have owners, and it is impossible to give them a reward.
It would be inevitable to take colonial land as a fiefdom. Not everyone has a family background. Just give them a piece of land and have the ability to develop it.
The civilians or the descendants of the descendants of the nobles have limited wealth and they do not have the ability to develop land closures in the past. It is also a good choice to use the developed farms or plantations as land closures.
You may get hundreds of square kilometers or even thousands of square kilometers of land under your own development, and you can get ready-made farms, that is, dozens of hectares, or hundreds of hectares of land.
There is no such thing as a loss or a take advantage, and land reclamation also requires investment costs. Franz is not going to be tough on this issue.
The earliest plantations opened in the colonies of Guinea can now see returns. After all, the cultivation of grain, cotton and peanuts, these one-year crops are still effective.
After the output, the Vienna government launched a hype, claiming to open a second home for the new Holy Roman Empire, emphasizing the fertility of African lands.
Many people's perceptions of the African colonies have changed, the concept of the poisonous insect continent has faded, and richness has entered everyone's minds.
This is not a lie. The African continent really has a lot of fertile soil. At present, the colonies opened by Austria are relatively rich, and the climate is also a livable place suitable for human existence.
Mobilizing people now can not only develop overseas colonies, but also solve the problem of unemployment in the country, and it can also divert the economic crisis.
