My Italian: Chapter 469 dust settled

In May 1902, a piece of news caused a sensation throughout Italy and even Europe.

The Italian government just thwarted an attempted armed rebellion. The heroic Italian military and police arrested 82 people, including Count Perik, Viscount Fiorella, and Baron Carboni, and 5 others, including Viscount Belle, were at large. major political events.

For such explosive news, in addition to the Italian domestic media, foreign media also rushed to report. In the face of the swarming media, the Ministry of the Interior produced a lot of evidence, such as seized guns, artillery and other weapons, as well as the criminal's confession. Faced with the evidence presented by the Ministry of the Interior, the domestic media naturally had nothing to say. Of course, they kept praising the Ministry of the Interior for its courage, and wiped out the local nobles who were about to launch a rebellion in one fell swoop.

As for the foreign media, it is not so easy to talk about. Many media claim that this is just a trick of the Italian government, because the local nobles are not satisfied with Rome's power collection behavior.

Well, a lot of wild guesses really lead to the truth, but does it work?

For the Kingdom of Italy, as long as the people agree with their own words, it is enough. The media in other countries just say that the other party is spreading rumors and causing trouble, because the other party cannot produce evidence. Since there is no evidence, it is just barking, just ignore it.

And the arrest of these dozens of local figures who resisted Rome's takeover of power has caused even greater shocks to the Italian political arena. These officials are quite sensitive to politics. Regardless of the crimes of these local powerful figures who were arrested, just look at the actions of the Roman government, and anyone who dares to resist Rome's power collection action will end up better than these big figures.

So after these big shots were arrested, the pace of Italy's transformation from district to province suddenly accelerated. Those officials who complained before immediately praised the bill, saying that this was the beginning of Italy's prosperity and the correct way to open a game of chess for the whole country, etc. Anyway, I was not the one who complained before, I am a member of the pro-Rome, and I will be anxious to anyone who speaks against the bill.

The huge change in the attitude of officials also shows the strength of the Italian central government. I believe that after this experience, the officials' attitude towards Rome will be more flattering, and at the same time they will work harder when implementing Roman orders.

Faced with the big change in the attitude of the local officials, this made everyone in Rome feel very comforted, and it was worth spending such a high price.

However, after arresting the big figures opposed by these places, there is still a problem to be solved. This is not only the government's great concern, but even Carlo's.

"Your Majesty, this is the property we seized from the criminals who conspired to rebel."

Secretary of the Interior Ted Cruz put a detailed list of assets in front of Carlo.

Now Cruz can be said to be full of ambitions. As soon as he took office, he led the Ministry of the Interior to handle such a major case, clearing the way for Rome to take power. For him and the National Socialist Party, it was a good start.

Carlo looked at the list handed over by Cruz very seriously. There were many assets listed on it, such as land, factories, plantations, manors and a series of things that could be counted as property. Moreover, this list is very careful, and the prices of each item are also listed at the back, which makes people look very regular and standardized.

Of course, at the end of the list, the asset valuation of 710-830 million lire is also the reason why the government hesitates to decide on its own.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you think about the distribution of these assets."

But still to come or to come, Prime Minister Antonio sounded the clarion call for asset distribution.

"Your Majesty, our army has been short of funding these years, and the total strength of the army has been dropping again and again. Please also consider our army, Your Majesty."

General Simeone, the chief of the army's general staff, took the lead by virtue of his advantage of being one step ahead. Marshal Cadorna, Minister of the Army, was in poor health at this meeting, so only General Simeone participated in the army, but even so, Simeone had to do his best to win his due share for the army.

Of course, Carlo knows what Simeone said, and he also knows that he has treated the army a little bit badly over the years, which has caused the size of the army to decrease again and again, and its size is already at the bottom of the European powers. This is a last resort choice for the army's new technology research and development and the application of new equipment.

"Your Majesty, our prime minister's navy has also underinvested in recent years, and the number of main naval warships has dropped to the lowest level in history."

Admiral Yagier, the Minister of the Navy, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After seeing that Carlo's face was a little loose, he quickly added a sentence. Because based on his years of experience in seizing military expenditures, His Majesty has a certain proportion of the share allocated to the military. If the army has too many, then it must be supplemented by the navy. He cannot let such a thing happen.

Besides, what he said is true. The total tonnage of the main warships currently in service in the navy and under construction is indeed the lowest in these years. The reason is very simple, that is, the navy has just decommissioned the two Durio-class battleships in its hands (the Durio and the Dondoro), freeing up more funds to build new ships for replacement.

Of course, the three Durio improvements will also be retired within three years (Lepanto, Morosini and Italia). Although these five 10,000-ton battleships are all old warships from the 1980s and have not experienced much war, as the main battleships of the navy, they have also made contributions to the Italian Navy.

"Your Majesty, the government also needs capital investment very much. At present, the funding gap for public infrastructure construction in our country is quite large, and infrastructure investment also needs to be increased. Therefore, Your Majesty, the government also urgently needs funds."

The prime minister took the lead, and several other cabinet ministers followed suit.

"Your Majesty, our health department intends to continue to promote primary medical security."

"Your Majesty, our education department intends to increase investment in higher education."

"His Majesty……"

"Okay." Carlo felt a little dissatisfied with the rush of words. These guys are so poor and crazy that they don't care about money when they see it. Well, Italy is not financially rich, it is really poor, but it can't be so disregarding decentness for a small proportion of funds.

"As for the allocation of funds after the sale of these properties, I think the government can get 65%. As for the remaining 35%, the army and navy will split half and half."

Carlo didn't give them a chance to continue talking, and directly drew up the ratio of fund division.

As for Carlo's words, both the government and the military had nothing to say. After all, the king had already cut it off, so who would dare to make trouble at this time.

"Prime Minister, what are your plans for these confiscated lands?"

After dividing up the confiscated property, Carlo asked about the land.

Antonio naturally knew what the king was thinking, and he replied immediately. "Your Majesty, for the confiscated land, we give priority to selling it to those tenants. Of course, if it is the land that has completed industrial farming, it will be sold as an asset first."

The prime minister's words are also the result of the government's comprehensive consideration. Those large farms that have completed industrial farming must be better sold at a higher price.

As for the land that has not been transformed into a large farm ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Of course, the tenants who have been farming on the land are given priority.

Facing the Prime Minister's answer, Carlo nodded to accept the government's arrangement. It's hard to do anything without money.

The imperial meeting didn't last long, and the Prime Minister and others left after a while. After all, this trip was to discuss the distribution of these confiscated properties. Now that the distribution is over, what else is there for the senior military and political officials to gather together? Together?

After everyone else left, Carlo glanced at the detailed property list in front of him and sighed deeply.

Because this time the matter was a bit ruthless, the nobles had a lot of opinions about it. Although there were charges of treason and armed rebellion as the foundation, so many nobles had their properties confiscated, which also made other nobles feel scared. It can be said that before this, if the nobles were in awe of the royal family, then there is only awe left.

For the kingdom's centralization and financial problems, Carlo is digging his own corner to make up for the big tree of Italy.

For Italy, Carlo can be regarded as paying all his efforts.
