Chapter 772： Tsarist Government

The mainland cannot be sold, and the colonies can still be negotiated. Don't look at the tsarist government seems to be localized management, in fact, many areas are colonial.

For details, please refer to the tax package system. Even after Alexander II completed the tax reform, the Russian Empire still adopted the tax package system in many places.

It's not that the tsarist government can't see the dangers of the tax package system, but how can the Russian Empire be too big? Many remote areas do not have enough taxes to pay tax officials.

In order to prevent the already bad financial bankruptcy, the tsarist government had to sell its taxing power to capitalists.

Even in order to save costs, the administrative power in some areas was directly given to local nobles.

Of course, these are special products of the war period and have time limits. If the finances improve, the Tsarist government will still take it back when it expires.

Alexander III said casually: "Let's talk first, no matter what the Austrians have plans, we just have to do a good job of ourselves.

This time, we must learn a lesson. We must explore local resources in advance so that we can negotiate prices with the Austrians. "

The Tsarist government has no shortage of territories. Alexander III was a pacifist among the Tsars, and the desire to peek at the land was the lowest among the Tsars of all ages.

If it weren't for Austria's stubbornness, he would not have launched the Russian-Turkish war at this time.

The newly-occupied area will not be able to create wealth in the short term. On the contrary, a large amount of administrative funds will be invested.

For the tsarist government with poor finances, increasing the territory now is essentially increasing the burden.

As long as the price is right, it is naturally not a problem to allocate a piece of land from the spoils for the Armenians to establish the country independently.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Oscar Jimenez said: "Sir, just now has heard from the embassy in Vienna.

A plague has emerged in the Asia Minor Peninsula, which is highly contagious and suspected of being a black death. Many medical experts believe that the area is no longer suitable for human survival.

In order to reduce the loss of personnel, the Vienna government has launched the Emergency Hazard Act and is preparing to evacuate the population of the newly occupied area.

They intend to outsource this business and have paid a high resettlement fee. According to the distance, the specific standard ranges from 15 to 40 Aegis per person.

As long as these people are taken away from Austria for resettlement, they will receive a subsidy of at least 15 SHIELD.

If the government has financial difficulties, maybe we can consider ... "

The epidemic is naturally there, but it is not a large-scale plague, nor is it a black death. Otherwise, Austria would not be able to take action at this time.

Although the capitalists are greedy, they are even more fragile. Although the profit of human traffickers is high, the risks are also high.

The mortality rate of the Great Navigation was originally high. If a plague was added, it could be destroyed at any time. Even if it is not a group, people are almost dead, what will they collect?

Under the banner of resettlement, it is essentially for fame. If everyone dies halfway, it's enough to recruit butchers. Why is it necessary to pay a large price?

Alexander III frowned, and from the bottom of his heart he rejected this kind of business. The Russian Empire is also one of the four major powers in the world. How can it be reduced to the level of a trafficker.

However, reality is cruel. Looking at the eager eyes of everyone, Alexander III knew that everyone wanted to earn a subsidy.

After all, the price given by Austria is too attractive, even if it is 15 SHIELD per person at the lowest standard, one million people is 15 million SHIELD.

The purchasing power of Aegis is not low. At current domestic food prices in Russia, 15 Aegis can buy 3 tons of rye or 5 tons of potatoes.

In fact, the price will be even higher. Alexander III still knows Franz's style very well. For a good reputation, the one who is definitely willing to spend money.

Calming down, Alexander III expressed his doubts: "Do you know why the Austrians migrated these people away?"

The price was so great, just to make room for it and say that Alexander III would not believe it.

Oscar Jimenez shook his head: "It's not clear what the specific reason is, but there is a little news that it seems that oil was found in the two river basins.

But there is still a lack of persuasion. Although the demand for oil in Austria has grown rapidly in recent years, oil is not a precious mineral, and its annual import value is only a few hundred thousand aegis.

In order to save hundreds of thousands of SHIELD expenses, it would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of SHIELD to migrate the population.

What's more, it only needs to guarantee the safety of the oil field for the extraction of oil.

Another argument is that the Vienna government intends to build a railway linking Baghdad to prepare for entry into the Persian region, fearing Ottoman sabotage.

Persuasion is still a bit inadequate. As a colonial empire, Austria is not a good man.

The Ottomans are safe and secure, and if they dare to make trouble for them, the Vienna government will never mind killing blood.

The casualties caused by this war in the Ottoman region were very large. After the war, there were no ten young people. As long as some nobles were sealed off, the local area was still easy to rule. "

"Private aristocracy", although primitive, is the most effective means. Known as the conservative base, Austria is still widely used in colonies.

After the Tsarist government reoccupied Poland, they followed this policy, and in the short run, it played a positive role.

The message "True, False, False, True" is the most confusing, and Alexander III reluctantly found himself dizzy.

The benefits are obviously not proportional to the payoffs. He would rather this is a decision made by the Vienna government with water in his head rather than trust the two "little news".

After a moment of confusion, Alexander III slowly said: "It is uneasy to use our strength to investigate and not understand the true purpose of the Austrians."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Oscar Jimenez replied.

Aspiring Minister of Finance Alisher Gulov couldn't help but say, "Sir, if the Austrians have no conspiracy, can we consider selling them to some of the newly occupied areas?"

Seeing that Alexander III did not answer immediately, Alysse Guloff continued: "According to prior agreement, we can obtain half of the Asia Minor Peninsula and parts of the Greater Caucasus after the war.

Because of the war, these areas are basically deserted, and they will rely on the central government's financial appropriations for the next ten years.

Of value to us is only the western plains near Constantinople, the rest of which can be sold.

If the transaction is concluded, we will not only get a sale income, but also a resettlement income.

In theory, we can get hundreds of millions of SHIELD cash income at one time.

Even if the Vienna government wants to use arrears as a deduction, we can reduce our debts and reduce the government's financial pressure. "

It wasn't Alisher Gulov who wanted to sell land, mainly because the Treasury was really poor. If Austria agrees to defer payment of debt after the economic crisis, the Tsarist government is now bankrupt.

In this context, adding new towing oil bottles will undoubtedly send himself into the abyss.

Once a debt default occurs and the Austrians receive the collateral as agreed in the contract, it is not these bad places on the Asia Minor Peninsula.

Seeing that Alexander III was hesitant, the Minister of the Army, Paradrew Wald, hurriedly opposed: "No! The Russian Empire is large, but every inch of land is not redundant.

Today, we can sell the Asia Minor Peninsula due to financial problems, tomorrow we can sell the Balkan Peninsula, and the day after tomorrow we can sell Ukraine. Is it possible to sell the Holy Land together? "

Looking at the upright Minister of the Army, Alisher Guloff was so angry that he put his traitor's hat on his head.

Angrily: "Nonsense, who wants to betray the Holy Land, Wald, please don't stigmatize people here!"

The Asia Minor Peninsula is Ottoman territory. I want to sell the enemy's territory. What's wrong? "

Selling your own land and selling other people's land are completely different concepts, especially the enemy's.

Wald scorned: "Everything the Russian army front refers to is the territory of the Russian Empire."

Alisher Guloff reluctantly said, "Well, you can live on the Asia Minor Peninsula, after the war, don't ask me for money."

Gold masters are always bully, and threatened with post-war care, Wald had to move.

The guilty conscience is not guilty, and it is still tough: "If you dare to withhold your pension, Lao Tzu will take you to the Ministry of Finance every day ..."

Without waiting for the next words, Alexander III stopped: "Shut up for me, this is not the place where you quarrel, you have to quarrel home slowly.

It's up to you to come. Whether or not to sell the Asia Minor Peninsula is a question that needs to be considered comprehensively, not determined by the subjective consciousness of some people. "

It does n’t mean that everyone can hear it. Although the czar is inclined to sell the Asia Minor Peninsula.

After all, two transfers can be made. After this village, there is no such shop. At another point in time, we cannot guarantee such a good price.

A penny can stump the hero, not to mention a funding gap of billions of gold rubles.

If you want to complete industrialization, you cannot do without financial support. Apart from that, the most basic infrastructure is still needed.

Unfortunately, the losses caused by the Prussian-Russian war were too heavy, leaving a lot of mess for the government to clean up, especially the huge debt owed, and even the Tsarist government was out of breath.

It must not be defaulted. This time, the creditors are not easy to mess with. The Nordic Federation and Austria are one south and one north. Bundle debt collection does not allow them to lie on their books.
