My Italian: Chapter 443 new century

Amid the noise of the Boer War, the nineteenth century was coming to an end. The media from all over the world are full of enthusiasm and expressed their expectations for the arrival of the new century.

At this time, many newspapers also published their prospects for the new century, among which the Times published the most interesting. Because he is looking forward to the life that human beings should have at the end of the next century.

"In the future, people will definitely live in high-rise buildings, go out every day and ride their own aircraft to work or play, and if they don't want to ride their own aircraft, they can also use public aircraft, which use unmanned aircraft to fly to several locations. In addition, unmanned tillage machines will also be used in farmland, which only requires workers to watch. In life, all kinds of automatic instruments will help people live a better life. For example, automatic cooking machines, if you want to What to eat at night, bring the vegetables, meat and condiments you need, it only takes ten minutes, and the fragrant food will be delivered directly to your eyes. The same is true for haircuts. The profession of barber will be more responsible for watching the machine. prevent it from malfunctioning..."

The Times newspaper's imaginary picture of a better life for mankind in 100 years also inspires people who are about to enter the new century to look forward to the future.

Of course, the outlook for the future is certainly good, and the same is true for Italy. For the Italian government, however, the summary statistics of 1899, the last year of the late nineteenth century, were equally important.

According to official Italian statistics, at the end of 1899, the total population of Italy had reached 36.47 million. Please note that this statistic is based on adding 3.57 million people in Libya and Albania.

Because the two places are rich in mineral resources and the replacement policy has already been implemented in the local area, it will be regarded as a local thing sooner or later, and this population statistics can be regarded as a precursor. The government is already considering changing the two-region governor system to a regional system. However, because there are many things to consider, the progress has not been fast before, but now it is almost time to change to the original land.

In addition to demographics, the Italian government's fiscal revenue this year has also hit record highs. In this year, Italy's total fiscal revenue reached 1.947 billion lire, the highest in the past years, and the impact of the drought on Italy has been completely overcome. You must know that in 1897, Italy's fiscal revenue was only 1.752 billion lire. It was also 5.3% lower than in 1896. After two years of recovery, Italy's finances are finally back to normal.

Of the total revenue of 1.947 billion liras, 427 million liras came from tariffs, which are also Italy's largest tax category.

The second largest category of fiscal revenue is still the monopoly tax on salt and tobacco, which amounted to 341 million liras. Followed by consumption tax, property tax, business tax, land-related tax and stamp duty on securities transactions and so on.

Italy has a record high tax, but if you compare the expenditure, you will find that it still cannot keep up with the expenditure. In 1899, Italian fiscal expenditure reached 2.013 billion lire. National defense, public safety, education and health, science and technology, transportation, social security, debt interest payments, etc., will consume these funds.

Among them, defense expenditure is the largest category of expenditure, with a total of 387 million liras spent by the army and navy in 1899. In addition to military expenditures, education expenditures accounted for the second largest category of expenditures, with 319 million lire paid for education in 1899. The second is transportation, social security, debt payment, public safety, etc.

Of course, the expenditure of the Italian government is so huge, naturally because of the rapid development of Italy. In this year, total Italian steel production reached a record high of 4.18 million tons. The rapid growth of steel in Italy, on the one hand, is also driven by the construction of Italian cities. Everyone knows that real estate has promoted various industries. However, driven by the economic development of Italy before, many people have realized the freedom of wealth.

Now that there is money, some people want to have a safe nest, and some people aim at this market, so real estate is also prospering against this background.

As soon as the real estate prospered, it immediately showed its power. Building materials such as steel, cement, glass, and brick and tile industries immediately flourished, and construction machinery, furniture, and even banks were fully developed.

It is no wonder that real estate will become a pillar industry in future generations, but there is still a little problem in Italian real estate to become a pillar industry. That is how to mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone to buy a house.

Of course, real estate in Italy is still in its infancy and is not yet very mature.

At present, Italy is best at the shipbuilding industry and textile industry in the world. Yes, Italy still needs the textile industry to absorb the huge unemployed population. As for shipyards, they are also labor-intensive technology industries that require a lot of manpower. And Italy can be the roost in Europe, relying on the lower cost than others, and where the cost comes from, the natural salary accounts for a large part.

Of course, in addition to the current industry, the petrochemical industry is developing rapidly in Italy. In view of the increasing scale of oil discoveries in Libya, Italian oil companies have been directly injected by the Ministry of Finance to develop Italy's petrochemical industry. In addition to the Naples refinery, Italian oil companies are already considering whether to build a refinery in the north.

If the discovery of oil from Libya was a gift from God, it was a reward for resource-poor Italy.

Then the development of the auto industry is an unexpected harvest for Italy. Fiat is famous all over the world with its cheap Model A cars.

In the past year, Fiat sold more than 40,000 Model A cars. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Among them, 30,000 vehicles were sold abroad, and more than 8,000 vehicles were sold in the United States as far away as North America. Last year, Fiat Motor Company produced 95% of the world's cars and sold 95% of the cars.

Whoever makes cars all over the world doesn't know Fiat's name.

Of course, Fiat is so popular in the world, and it is also that countries are still in the stage of workshop car production, and they have been caught off guard by the sudden large-scale industrialization of the automobile industry.

Of course, how can the automobile market be exclusively owned by Italy? The capitalists of all countries have taken a fancy to the fat meat of the automobile industry, so they are all secretly planning in their own countries to develop their own country's automobile industry.

Of course, for the Fiat executives represented by Giovanni Agnelli, the idea of ​​​​being prepared for danger has always existed. Giovanni Agnelli has said that Fiat's A-type cars can sell well since the A-type car was sold.

And no one knows when this opportunity will end, so everyone needs to work hard to let Fiat accumulate more technology and be ready to update the model at any time.

Of course, the Fiat thing can come to an end. The industrial development of Italy also needs to be improved in the new century.
