Chapter 637: Free Trade Era

Vienna Palace, looking at the content of the newspaper, Franz knew that the European grandmother would not exist, or that it would not be Queen Victoria.

It is estimated that for a long time in the future, the British royal family will be overwhelmed. When a political crisis breaks out, it will be difficult to get a political marriage.

In order to make the news published in the French newspapers more like an accidental discovery, it is naturally impossible for Franz to explain the transmission route of "Royal Disease".

The spread of "Royal Disease" is still short. According to the current medical records, it can only be proved that the patients all have Queen Victoria's blood.

Many royal families in Europe have difficult heirs. For the sake of safety, everyone naturally stays away from the descendants of Queen Victoria. Even if it is low, it is stronger than the extinct heir.

Gladly, Franz ignored it. At this time, the more you do, the easier it will be to reveal your fault. Franz has never dared to underestimate the power of a country.

...

Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria has not been so gaffe in many years. Even after losing several foreign wars, she was able to restrain her emotions.

Still broken now. In this society with a strong religious atmosphere, the lethality of the "curse" is too great. Being crowned with this name, no one will be able to sit still.

Mainstream newspapers also know restraint and do not have much radical content. Under the public relations of the London government, many newspapers also publish news about medical experts refuting rumors.

The tabloids are different, they come as they attract people.

From a medical interpretation, how can it be compared to the "curse" to attract attention?

Many newspapers directly linked Queen Victoria and the witch, and compiled a series of news.

Explanation doesn't help, and people like to watch this kind of witch news the most, especially when it comes to the queen.

The domestic newspapers in the UK may not dare to go too far in the arrangement, and the newspapers in continental Europe will no longer be under pressure.

"The Story the Queen and the Witch Had to Tell", "The Curse of the Witch", "God's Punishment"...

All sorts of outrageous headlines were published in continental European newspapers. As the so-called law does not blame the public, everyone has published it. The British want to retaliate, but there is no way to start.

In terms of ideas, France has always been at the forefront of Europe. In addition to the contradiction between Britain and France, black British people have always been the long-term work of the French media.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, public opinion directly attributed the "royal disease" to "curse". Blame the British for doing too much shit, and the royal family is cursed for it.

Including the Austrian media, they were not idle. Like most of the melon eaters, they joined the topic discussion.

Don't think about the good words, the British are so hateful, they don't even have a good reputation with the royal family. This newspaper that doesn't go down the drain, it's all paid for.

The Vienna Palace, under the turbulent wave of public opinion, decided to start the Austrian future economic conference quietly.

Prime Minister Felix: "Up to now, more than 98% of the farmers who applied for land redemption nationwide have paid off the land redemption money.

The domestic market has been expanding in recent years, largely from the expansion of the rural market, which stimulates industrial production.

But this wave of dividends is now coming to an end. From now on, the growth rate of the domestic market will gradually slow down.

If domestic enterprises cannot keep up with the times and actively expand overseas markets, they will face the fate of being eliminated in the new round of competition.

From the perspective of development, the domestic economy is about to enter a new stage. Domestic industrial production technology is generally no weaker than that of any country.

Continuing to protect the local market will no longer stimulate economic development, and will only make our companies reluctant to make progress in their comfort zone.

According to the theory of national economics put forward by Liszt, we have now reached the third stage of economic development, opening up the market, meeting challenges, and starting the era of free trade. "

Prior to this, Austria has been implementing trade protectionism. The industrial revolution in Austria was completed by the local and colonial markets.

Today, Austria is already the world's largest industrial country and has enough confidence to participate in international competition.

Continuing to implement trade protection policies is obviously out of date, and a new round of economic reform is imperative.

"Is it too early to implement a free trade policy now? Many domestic companies have not had time to change their minds, and we should give them more time." The representative of the Kingdom of Lombardy Tofos objected

There is no way. Compared with other regions in Austria, the pillar industries of Lombardy are all concentrated in light industry, among which cotton textile industry and raw silk industry are the main ones, and there are even some handicraft industries.

Compared with other industries, once they enter the era of free trade, they will be hit the hardest. Especially the cotton textile industry, which is a central pillar of the British.

Austria's advantages are mainly concentrated in emerging industries. Compared with the British, traditional industries have no obvious advantages, and are even at a disadvantage.

However, enterprises that are not enterprising are mostly concentrated in traditional industries. In essence, it is: you can make money without working hard, so why carry out technological innovation?

This is not what Franz wants to see. The survival of the fittest in the market is inevitable. Companies that cannot see the progress of the times and just want to make money lying down are destined to be eliminated.

Prime Minister Felix's face sank: "Give them time, do we still have less time for companies?

As early as 1865, the central government issued an announcement recommending that enterprises continue to reform and innovate to keep pace with the times.

.

In 1870, the central government again issued a warning to domestic companies, reminding them to improve their competitiveness.

But after so many years, what is the result?

On the one hand, they are clamoring for the government not to intervene in the market, and on the other hand, they want the government to implement trade protectionism.

Could it be that our domestic enterprises have degenerated to such a point that they rely on their shame to survive?

The government gives companies time, but who gives the country time?

With such fierce international competition, national development is like sailing against the current.

Instead of spending energy on these unenterprising garbage companies, it is better to focus on supporting more dynamic emerging industries.

Market competition is becoming more and more cruel, which is an inevitable law of human development. If a company cannot stand the challenge, it should close its doors as soon as possible, so as not to waste social resources. "

Opening up the market and entering the era of free trade economy is both a challenge and an opportunity.

The problems faced by the Kingdom of Lombardy are not unique. Many companies in Austria have similar problems. These companies are afraid of facing competition in the international market and become an obstacle to free trade.

However, with the rise of emerging industries, they occupy a larger and larger proportion of the national economy, and the voice of free trade is getting louder and louder.

Today, Austria's voice for implementing free trade has overwhelmed trade protectionism. Only when the time for reform is ripe has the Vienna government decided to carry out economic reform.

Tofus hesitated, he still had integrity, and it was impossible for him to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

Even if he is a representative of the Lombard Kingdom, he himself stands on the government's stand, and it is impossible for him to blindly speak for the capitalists.

It is only a high-level economic meeting, and the representatives of capitalists are not qualified to enter here, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

Once it enters the implementation stage and expands the discussion, it is estimated that it will be lively.

Franz can be sure that at the beginning of the expanded economic crisis meeting, there will be a quarrel between those who support free trade and those who oppose free trade, and there may be a full-scale military exercise.

This is nothing, at the meeting organized by the government, the capitalists will somewhat restrain themselves. The civil war of words is the time when the bayonet on both sides is red.

Knowing is knowing, Franz will not interfere. Dividing the bourgeoisie has always been his established national policy. As long as the bourgeoisie is not monolithic, imperial power will be consolidated.

So far, things are going very smoothly. Because of the relationship of interests, capitalists in emerging industries and capitalists in traditional industries often have conflicts, and this economic reform is only a microcosm.
