Chapter 841 Are All Smart People

It is easy to dismiss an official, a government decree is enough, the trouble is how to deal with the aftermath after the dismissal of an official.

The bureaucratically-led farm project has proven to be a failure.

If you want to solve the problem, you must replace a group of loyal, honest, capable people who don’t admire glory and profit, and are willing to go to the colony to live a hard life.

Such bureaucrats may exist, but they are definitely very few. They are treasures wherever they are placed, and there is simply no extra to throw into the colonies.

Prime Minister Terence Bulkin proposed: "Your Majesty, there is no point in dismissing them now, the most important thing now is to ensure that these projects are implemented.

I suggest giving them a buffer time so they can finish their tasks and only deal with those who don't. "

There must be a buffer time, and the French government will not be able to find so many substitute officials for a while.

The most important thing is to get these people down, and the money still won't come back. No bureaucrat would be foolish enough to put all his property in his own name.

Moreover, the embezzlement of public funds was not done by one or two people. Both top and bottom were involved, so there was no way to go further.

After calming down, Napoleon IV asked: "Can they complete the task given the buffer time?"

At this point, everyone knows that the project funds allocated by the government have been embezzled by the following. The chief officer in charge may have taken the lead, but this is not the whole story.

If you want to complete the previous plan, the biggest problem is money. The government will not re-appropriate funds, and the person in charge will have to find a solution for the shortfall.

Napoleon IV did not think that these bureaucrats could be noble enough to fill the gap with their own money. Even if they cut meat for their official hats, they had to fill the hole.

You can't expect these guys to get the money back from the people who split the money, right?

Prime Minister Terence Bulkin explained: "It's not possible to do it 100 per cent, but there is hope in half.

The government can put pressure on them and punish officials who fail to deliver results. "

The typical bureaucratic solution, of course, cannot satisfy Napoleon IV, but there is no way, this is already the best choice at the moment.

If you want to clean up these bureaucrats, you can only boil the frogs in warm water. If you are in a hurry, there will be a big mess.

...

The infighting within the French government is not a glorious thing, and those in the know tacitly chose to deal with it in a low-key manner.

If it weren't for the news from the intelligence services, Franz would not have known that France was about to change again.

But this time is too late, missed the best time to intervene.

Otherwise, Napoleon IV will be detained in Algeria, and the arrogant French Empire will really fall.

It is easy to detain the emperor, but difficult to control the French government. The Paris government will not sit still, and not everyone can launch a coup.

With the integrity of the bureaucrats, it is more likely to directly support the crown prince to succeed the throne. After all, the young master is easier to control. The son of Napoleon IV is still breastfeeding and is definitely the best choice.

However, Young Living could not hold back the situation. The Orleans and Bourbon dynasties in China will not buy it, and the colonial bureaucrats who have forced them into the corner can only go one way.

Then push the Italians out to join in the fun, and a table of mahjong will be alive.

There is no way, this is the sequelae of the loss of the monarch's majesty, the Paris Revolution shook the foundation of Napoleon IV's rule, and the burning of the Palace of Versailles made him even more disgraced.

Autumn can be seen from a single leaf, the French colonial system has rotted away, and what is the Austrian colonial system like now?

No one can answer this question. Perhaps Austrian Africa in the process of localization, where the government is tightly controlled, the situation will be better.

As for the Southeast Asia and America, where the emperor is far away, it can only depend on the integrity of the bureaucrats. Anyway, Franz does not have much expectations.

Putting down the secret document in his hand, Franz sighed. Even if there is a problem, it is not to be dealt with now.

That is the graduation assessment Franz prepared for his sons. If the answer is given in advance, what is the use?

After adjusting his thoughts, Franz's eyes returned to the country. Austria was also experiencing the difficulties encountered by the French ranch plan.

It's just that it's not a farm, but an enterprise or factory that has been confiscated by confiscating homes. Hesitating to check too many at one time, it will not be realized for a while, and it can only be temporarily operated by the government.

Needless to say, this must be a loss! Enterprise factories can receive them directly, but customer orders and personal connections cannot be inherited.

The interim management team appointed by the government plays a more important role in stabilizing people's hearts and ensuring the smooth progress of production.

As for sales, it is still in the process of exploration, and the results are naturally very general.

Unless a few companies with their own sales network can operate normally and guarantee profits, most companies have a backlog of goods, either already losing money or hovering on the verge of losing money.

At the Vienna Palace, Franz asked: "What step has the asset realized?"

If you can't make money from your own business, you can only sell it. Since the judgment came into effect, the Vienna government has been dealing with it.

Prime Minister Carr replied calmly: "Financial and bond assets have all been sold, and larger industrial and mining companies have also sold almost the same amount.

In order not to impact the domestic market, we plan to temporarily hold real estate such as land and houses, and then decide whether to sell it according to the actual situation.

The most troublesome thing now is those small factories. The number of these industries is overwhelming.

The business depends entirely on the boss's own personal connections, and it is difficult to find a suitable buyer.

In addition, we have also discovered the overseas assets of some of the persons involved in the case. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is communicating with the countries concerned on this issue. "

The seemingly understated answer is actually full of helplessness behind it. Many people know that they are high-quality assets, but because the operation of the enterprise is at a loss, they have to reluctantly sell it.

Small industrial and mining enterprises cannot sell. The biggest problem is not that they are not profitable, but that the internal management is too chaotic, and many procedures are illegal, and they are even underground black factories.

For the government, these are junk assets that have no value in their hands except for increased expenses, and must be disposed of.

Franz nodded: "If you can sell it, sell it. If you really can't find a buyer, you can go bankrupt.

The French affairs have sounded the alarm for us. Before we have no business ability, we blindly go to projects and can only raise a bunch of worms. "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Prime Minister Carr

After a pause, Franz continued to add: "The French's farm plan has temporarily failed, and the British's food self-sufficiency plan, where is the progress?"

Don't care, Austria is still the world's largest exporter of agricultural products, and it is necessary to be vigilant against potential competitors.

If possible, Franz would not mind sabotaging Anglo-French plans to secure Austrian pricing power in the international agricultural export market.

However, this is not possible. The threshold for food production is too low, and the importance is too high. The more Austria is destroyed, the more Britain and France have to promote it.

Agriculture Secretary Halles replied: "The British plan is different from the French, they use the government to subsidize farmers and use economic means to encourage private cultivation.

However, this policy has encountered trouble recently, and the British agricultural associations have protested to the government, demanding that the British government treat them equally and give them the same treatment.

If the London government chooses to compromise, it will mean a reduction of 7.8 million pounds in government revenue and an increase of 12 million pounds in expenditure.

With one increase and one decrease, the small 20 million pounds will be gone, which has exceeded the financial capacity of the British government.

However, the British Agricultural Association is very powerful. Judging from the current situation, the London government should not last long.

Either abolish the subsidy scheme, or reduce the amount of the subsidy, along with the subsidy for domestic farmers. "

This is a dilemma, abolish the subsidy program and the food self-sufficiency program fails.

Uniform standards and subsidies together, the government finances can not stand it. After all, the direct fiscal revenue that entered the British government was more than 80 million pounds, which was almost cut off by a quarter at once.

Franz shook his head: "You are too optimistic, the British government is not stupid. The seemingly dilemma is actually a workaround.

For example, if you change the subsidy plan, just give newly reclaimed farms a certain number of years of land reclamation subsidies, and government spending will drop all of a sudden.

This fee can also be returned through agricultural product transaction tax, processing tax, etc., which means that there will be losses in the first one or two years, and it is still possible to achieve a balance of payments later. "

These routines are often played rotten by later generations. An agricultural subsidy expenditure not only mobilizes the enthusiasm for grain production, but also promotes the development of the domestic agricultural product processing field and increases employment opportunities.

In general, the British subsidy policy for grain planting is much more reliable than the French government's own efforts to engage in farms.

Of course, this does not mean that the French government is stupid. France is a big grain-producing country, and the French Agricultural Association is much more powerful than the British Agricultural Association.

If the Paris government only subsidizes grain cultivation for colonial farms, French farmers would have to rebel. Comprehensive subsidies, the government finances can not stand.

The peasant class is the biggest fundamental part of the Bonaparte dynasty, and Napoleon IV naturally would not do the stupid thing of digging one's own grave.

In this context, state-owned farms have become the best and only option for the French government.
