Chapter 461： Encourage fertility (1/2)

In the morning, the sun gilded the ground, and the humid air was still a bit sweet, and the yellow trees began to extract new teeth, telling the coming of spring.

Today is another good day, after a simple breakfast. Opening a colonial development report, Franz began a day of work.

Under normal circumstances, he would not care about these details, but this time it was a bit special. A large satellite was put in the New Brook area last year, which attracted the attention of the Vienna government.

The New Brook area has a birth rate of more than 5.1% for three consecutive years. Except for bears, several major European countries cannot compare with it.

As immigration areas, the majority of the population are suitable for childbearing, and higher birth rates are normal. However, maintaining this record for three consecutive years has attracted Franz's attention.

This era is the era of the European population explosion, and the birth rates of all countries are very high.

The Russian natural European champion, according to the collected data, the Austrian Population Agency has judged that the lowest fertility record of bears in the past ten years is 4.92%, the highest record is 5.39%, and most of the time exceeds 5.1% .

Well, this number is incomparable. Teddy bears have a high birth rate because their mortality rate is equally high.

In this era, the normal death rate of Russia's population is generally about 3.6%, and occasionally it will exceed 4.0%. It is also the European champion.

If the birth rate of the average country was the same, the Russian Empire would be long gone.

From the overall situation in Europe, Austria's performance is also good, with the birth rate remaining at about 4.1%, only for the Russians.

If you look at the birth rate of specific populations, you will find that the birth rate in Central Europe is low, and some areas have fallen to 3.6%; the birth rate in southern Europe is high, and some regions can reach 4.5%.

The more developed the region, the lower the birth rate. This has become the biggest problem for Franz. If this situation is not changed, refer to France next door.

As the most open country in Europe, France generally has a birth rate of about 2.6% and a mortality rate of about 2.3%, maintaining a very weak growth rate.

If it is placed on future generations, it is estimated that the French will be crazy. It's a pity that this era is not eye-catching at all. This is an era when everyone is making full use of their power.

Faced with the high mortality rate, who dares to play without fertility, wait for genocide!

Franz has accepted the fact that the birth rate is not as good as that of the Russians. With the advantages of medical technology, the population growth rate has finally been leveled with the Russians.

Franz has also published many documents, but with little effect. Most colonies also have low birth rates, and coupled with high mortality rates, population growth has been very low.

Franz's birth rate is so high that Franz naturally needs to pay attention. This is a big plan for the future. If it can be promoted, it will make a lot of money.

The report was not submitted by the colonial officials themselves, but was obtained by Franz himself.

The reason is naturally simple. What if someone falsifies the data?

Africa is not the South Ocean and the Americas, and mixed races are impossible. It's really possible to mess up a bunch of mixed-races in those areas. As long as the characteristics are not too obvious, it is difficult to distinguish them at a glance.

It is normal for bureaucrats to falsify for political performance. Therefore, the birth rates of Nanyang and Central America have always been high. As long as it is not too much, the Vienna government will not pursue it, and Africa has no conditions to follow.

As a key area of ​​operation, the Vienna government attaches more importance to Africa than the total number of colonies in other regions.

In order to ensure control of the colony, it has always been a key area of ​​supervision, and the autonomy of bureaucrats has been limited.

For example: The Governor, in other colonies, was in charge of the army and dismissed the people. Here, the Governor is also the supreme commander, but only the military attache is in charge of the military, and civil affairs are managed by the local government.

Being unable to make up numbers does not mean that you cannot make fraud. Colonial mortality has always been high, but it has continued to decline as local development has improved and medical technology has advanced.

If there is a bureaucratic birth rate fraud, raising the birth rate data, and then reusing the previous mortality rate, it will virtually increase the death toll.

The artificial increase in the number of deaths offsets this part of the fake birth population, and the book is erased.

Anyway, as long as the colonial mortality rate has not increased, it can be accounted for, and the birth rate is one of the criteria for evaluating the performance of local officials.

The people who come up with this method are said to be from accounting, and they are the best at making fake accounts.

Franz is currently assigned to work in a state-owned mining company that is about to go bankrupt. When will the company come back to life and when can it return to the city?

Talent is rare and cannot be wasted. If it works well, it saves a state-owned enterprise; if it doesn't work well, it can only stay in the mine as a miner in the second half of his life.
