Chapter 414: Colonial Indigenization-Forbearance for the Country (2/2)
This is why there are farms and plantations all over Austrian Africa, and most African colonies in other European countries are wild.
It is not that governments do not work hard. The problem is that immigrants are unwilling to farm. Why?
After hesitating for a while, Earl Daniel nodded his head to indicate acquiescence. The big problem is to reduce food production and switch to cash crops. The loss is not large.
He was willing to pay for the localization of the African colonies. In order to turn lifelong nobles into hereditary nobles, he has invested too much, and at this time, he must not be in trouble.
...
On September 1, 1866, just as the Imperial Parliament was arguing endlessly, the representatives of Austrian Africa made a commitment in the Imperial Parliament: after the localization of the African colonies, they would not export food to the European continent, which would impact international food prices.
The turning point appeared, and even the lawmakers who were most opposed to the localization of Africa had no opinion at this time.
As long as we can keep the domestic grain price from being impacted, everything is negotiable. As for other industries, African colonies have yet to impact Austria's qualifications.
Under Vienna ’s immigration strategy, Austrian Africa does not have so many cheap labor, labor costs are higher than domestic, infrastructure is just starting, and there is no industry at all.
Don't worry about it in the future. Being able to grow the African continent to the point where it is home, Franz estimates that he will laugh when he dreams.
It ’s a big deal that the Emperor became an African emirate. There is such a large foundation that is enough to support the century-old hegemony of the empire, and it will no longer be considered by him.
The world is changing so fast. Who knows that humans will burst out of the solar system one day, or is it that civilization with bad luck has died in advance?
The biggest obstacle no longer exists. On September 1, 1866, the bill for the localization of Austrian African colonies was passed by the Imperial Parliament in full.
The commitments of the delegations were also written into the law and became one of the prerequisites for localization.
Since then, the legal obstacles to the localization of Austria's overseas colonies have been cleared. Of course, this is only the first step. Colonial localization still has a long way to go.
It's impossible to have any remote corners that are qualified for localization. Specific restrictions require careful study by the government.
The decision of the Imperial Parliament spread through newspapers, spreading from Vienna to Europe and even the world. Franz wrote a good article, ”Forbearance for the Country”, and highly praised the practice of the Austrian African delegation.
This was his true idea, it was not Franz's remote control behind the scenes, it was their decision.
This concession may not be costly, but the effect is very obvious, which dispels the domestic peasant class' concerns. This group may not have a strong political voice, but they are numerous.
At present, Austria's agricultural population still has nearly 30 million people. Only when this group is stable can the empire be stable.
Now that the problems have been solved, as long as food prices are not impacted, the majority of farmers will naturally not oppose the expansion of the Empire.
The birth of ”Forbearance for the Country” was quickly sought after by people from all walks of life, and swept the entire European continent, becoming a propaganda slogan in many countries.
This is not how good Franz's article is, nor is it flattering. It is mainly politically correct and helps to eliminate regional contradictions.
Of course, this is based on the premise of Franz. If it is proposed by ordinary people, it is estimated that the spray will not splash.
This is the privilege of the successful one. Just look at the map of Austria. He is now one of the greatest monarchs of our time.
