Chapter 290 The Great Immigrant

Franz was reputable, and immediately after signing the treaty with the Ottoman Empire, he paid 10 million Aegis worth of supplies.

This time, the Vienna government did not make any discounts, and there was no way to deal with the aftermath of overcapacity. There were too many backlogs of materials, and they could not be sold. Franz was directly destroyed.

It would be better to use it to make a deal with the Sudanese government. If possible he wanted to do the same deal with the Russians, no matter what, it was better than watching the supplies rot in the warehouse.

Especially agricultural products, these refined products do not have a long shelf life. The preservatives of this era are too scum, adding too much will kill people.

Even if everyone doesn't pay attention to food safety, they can't poison people. How can such things like smashing signboards be done?

Concerning the word-of-mouth issue, the Vienna government still controls it very strictly. It is the bottom line of food safety that it cannot poison people, even if it is an export product.

Of course, this is also limited to this. Higher standards belong to high-end food, such as products specially provided by nobles, whose quality level is not much lower than that of later generations.

The difference between the prices of the two grades of commodities is basically several times or even dozens of times, which fully proves that the cheap is not good.

Vienna Palace, after listening to the report of the Minister of Agriculture, Franz thought for a while and said: "Since the export value of agricultural products has declined, then we have artificially created a market.

Didn't they just reach an agreement with the Ottoman Empire, did they all withdraw the population on these lands?

Now organize ship transportation immediately. The big deal is that we will provide them with food rations for a year as compensation for the early relocation. Presumably the Sudanese government will not reject such a good thing.

When the Ottomans are gone, we will organize immigrants to fill them up and completely control these areas.

In this way, shipping companies have new business, and we can also reduce the pressure on unsalable grains, which will help stabilize domestic grain prices. "

Unlike other overseas colonies in the Mediterranean region, the Vienna government has the ability to directly control it. Even if there is no transoceanic telegraph, it will only be a week's problem to transmit information.

As long as the local Ottomans are all evacuated and replaced by domestic immigrants, then there is no need to worry about governance.

The Agriculture Minister Christian replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a pause, Franz added: "Remember to pack the people from the Ionian Islands and the Sinai Peninsula to the Ottoman Empire. If there is a problem, pay bribes to the officials of the Sudanese government.

Anyway, the Ottoman Empire has no household registration, how many people there are, the Sudanese government is a confused account, it should not be difficult to fool the past.

Immigration needs to be done as quickly as possible, and in times of economic crisis, it's the cheapest time to do this work. It can also alleviate the crisis, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. "

This is not speculation. In this era, the Ottoman Empire is known as the most corrupt empire in the world. As long as you give money, there is nothing that these bureaucrats dare not do.

Colonial Minister Josip Jelacic had a headache when he heard that the immigration work had to be done as soon as possible. There is a lot of immigration demand this time. To control these newly added territories forever, it is impossible to lose people.

There are at least 30,000 to 40,000 immigrants to Crete, 30,000 to 40,000 to Cyprus, 20,000 to 30,000 to the Ionian Islands, 100,000 to Libya, and 5,000 to Sinai, which adds up to 20. Thousands of people.

These regions need people, and the African colonies still need people. Forget the Congo and the Gulf of Guinea. The populations of the two places are already quite large, and it is also possible to suspend large-scale immigration.

However, Nigeria, which has just started, and Cameroon and Benin, which are infiltrating, are absolutely indispensable for immigration.

Otherwise, when John Bull recovers, they are going to do things again. The best choice is like the Gulf of Guinea now, even if the British are very keen, they lost interest after seeing the large group of German immigrants.

In this era, those who go to the colonies to make a fortune are not easy to bully. Especially the nobles who opened up farms and plantations, they are all masters who can carry guns on horses.

On land, the British couldn't help them at all. If the colony had only 10,000 people and 8,000 people, and one day turned against Britain and France, the colony would change hands immediately.

The Vienna government is not only thinking about opening up colonies, but also how to keep colonies. In this context, it is really not enough to have more than 100,000 or 200,000 immigrants.

In addition to these regions, also consider the Balkans. In order to control Wallachia, Moldavia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Vienna government has also formulated a million immigration plan.

This immigrant can only come from the German region to ensure the smooth progress of national integration, which is also an urgent task.

In order to avoid having to go out multiple times and compete with each other for immigration, all immigration work was handed over to the Colonial Department to be responsible for it.

Josip Jelacic explained: "Your Majesty, with the improvement of the domestic economic situation, fewer and fewer people are willing to immigrate overseas, and we will not be able to gather so many immigrants in the short term.

You know, in order to facilitate assimilation, every time we organize resettlement, we have to break up the resettlement, and prevent ethnic minorities from gathering in one area.

Refugees, including those who have migrated from the Balkans, are distributed according to a certain percentage to ensure that they cannot form a dominant position locally.

This has brought trouble to the immigration work. So far, there are less than 200,000 people in China who are interested in applying for immigration, and the total number of applicants in Germany is not more than 550,000.

Most people tend to emigrate to the Balkans and are willing to go to the sea

The population of the outer colonies was less than half. "

Franz nodded. This is normal. How can ordinary people be willing to leave their homes unless it is a last resort?

Even if you immigrate to the Balkans, you are still in the mainland. You can go back and forth along the Danube once a month, but overseas is different.

Even if the Vienna government offered favorable conditions, opened up farms and plantations in overseas colonies, the government directly recognized property rights, and even had policy loans, many people were still worried.

"The economy has just spread to the German region, and it will continue for some time. In the future, the bankrupt people in the German region will increase. This is an opportunity.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated with the governments of various states and they will not stop your actions. Before the end of the economic crisis, it is the peak period of immigration.

Now you have to rush the time and send the migrants away as quickly as possible. If it is too late to ship overseas, you will send them to the Balkans. Once the economic crisis is over and everyone finds jobs, things will be different. "

The reality is so cruel. The unemployed people during the economic crisis are not wealth, but social hidden dangers. Governments of various countries are eager for them to go faster.

In this context, the Vienna Foreign Office has also completed the work of Switzerland, Belgium and other countries in the German cultural circle, and the governments of various countries welcome the recruitment of immigrants by Austria.

Of course, such good opportunities are limited to times of economic crisis. Once the economy returns to normal, if you want to fool immigrants again, even if the governments of various countries do not stop them, the local capitalists will not agree.

It is only cheap if there is more labor, which is why it is difficult for European governments to organize immigration on a large scale.

If the Vienna government was not strong enough to convince the domestic capitalists, Franz would not have been able to organize immigration with such great fanfare.
