My Italian

As the chief steward of the royal family, Alejad naturally has a lot to do every day, especially after Carlo asked to sell the royal family's property, he was even more busy. Fortunately, he only needs to control the overall situation, otherwise this old bone will be explained here sooner or later.

As for Carlo's summoning, Allejad could only put aside his work and go to see such a majesty first.

"Mr. Allejad, how much money can I use now?"

After Alejad appeared, Carlo impatiently asked about the royal family's funds.

In the face of Carlo's inquiry, Alejad was still mentally prepared, otherwise he would not have come with a thick ledger. After Carlo finished speaking, he opened the ledger, looked at the contents above, and said.

"Your Majesty, we have sold 317 million liras of land. Because of the large number of previous sales, the price of the land has dropped by 5%, so it is not appropriate for us to sell it now."

Well, from this aspect, it can be seen that Italian capital is not rich at present. Although the real estate is not very popular in the market, the market has only endured more than 300 million lire and began to reduce the price, which is very telling.

Facing the words of Alejad, Carlo continued to listen.

"In addition, selling those Indian gold and silver products, diamond jewelry, etc., we made a profit of 375 million lire, and the remaining items worth about 80 million lire, because the characteristics are too obvious, so it is temporarily difficult to sell. In addition, we are in... "

At the end of the day, Alejad gave the funds that the royal family can come up with at present.

"Currently the funds we can come up with are 751 million liras."

This is comparable to the government's fiscal revenue for more than half a year, which is the wealth accumulated by the Savoy family for hundreds of years. Of course, if you wait for the land to be sold, it will be a year's financial income, but this requires a process, and it is obvious that the king, Carlo, does not intend to wait, otherwise why would you call the court manager of Alejad to come over.

After reporting the proceeds from the various sales, Alejad talked about why there was only so much money left.

"Your Majesty, 25 million lire was allocated for the construction of the power laboratory before, and the 8 million lire required for the electrical laboratory this year has also been allocated. Then there are royal family members' annuities and daily expenses, which cost more than 800 lire. Wanlila."

With Alejad reporting his income and expenses, Carlo has an idea of ​​how much he can spend now. However, although this amount of money looks a lot, it still feels a little less than the plan in his heart.

So, Carlo continued to ask. "Director Alejad, how long will it take for the property to be sold again?"

"The property cannot be sold for a year and a half, otherwise the price will be much lower. At least 10% of the price will be reduced before it can be sold."

Alejad's words made Carlo give up the idea of ​​continuing to sell the property.

In fact, what Alejad said is still a conservative estimate, because there are not many people who can take over the sale of such a large-scale property. How can it be sold quickly when there are limited buyers?

As for selling small plots of land, it is not easy to tell the truth. You must know that scattered sales also need to look at the demand, and the most vigorous demand is the peasant class, but they have no money and can't afford it.

As for small and medium-sized landowners and nobles, their pockets are limited, and there are also not many who can afford this expense. Rather than painstakingly splitting the property up for sale, a block sale would be more attractive to large, deep-pocketed buyers.

Now that Alejad has said so, Carlo can only use this money within a year and a half. Although there is a small gap from what he expected, nothing has come true, so Carlo feels almost the same.

So he began to prepare to distribute the money.

"I have an idea for this money, of which 51 million lire is kept as a reserve fund, and the remaining 700 million lire is spent."

700 million lire is a lot. For an individual, this figure is indeed a lot. Although it cannot make him the richest man in the world, it is still possible to become a billionaire in the United States. But if this money is invested in a country like Italy, it would be nothing more than a waste of money.

Therefore, the money must be invested in key industries, and Carlo has a plan for the future development of Italy, so he is ready for the flow of this money.

The first is the shipbuilding industry. The terrain owned by Italy is destined to attach great importance to sea power. Therefore, Carlo must also pay attention to the shipbuilding industry in the upstream of the navy, which is related to the national defense and security of Italy.

At present, although there are many shipyards in the Italian shipbuilding industry, except for a few large shipyards, other shipyards are models of backward technology. These shipyards, which can only build wooden or old-fashioned steamboats, have little effect on the improvement of the Italian shipbuilding industry.

Therefore, Carlo intends to use his own funds and government policies to integrate Italian shipyards from both internal and external aspects and make the shipbuilding industry bigger and stronger. Although doing so may result in the monopoly of the industry, in any case, this is an effect whose advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is worth Carlo's shot.

Of course, he never thought about leading the development of the shipbuilding industry. On the one hand, it requires too much capital, and on the other hand, it is not necessary, but proper guidance is still feasible.

In addition to the shipbuilding industry, the use of electricity is also the most troublesome thing for him, because this is one of the cores of the second industrial revolution, and the other is the use of the internal combustion engine. These two are industries that Carlo must pay attention to, and they are also the gold-swallowing beasts that cost him one-third of his funds~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In addition to the above industries, Italy's currently weak heavy industries, such as steel, metallurgy , machinery manufacturing, chemistry, materials, etc., Carlo has appropriate capital investment. However, due to limited funds, these industries are mainly supported by policy, and Carlo's investment of funds will not affect much at all.

However, it is not enough to not invest in support, because this will be related to the development of Italian industry, so Carlo can only invest in this way and some in that way, just like sprinkling pepper. However, although there is not much investment, Carlo's funds are invested in the research and development of new technologies, which can play some role.

However, although the investment is small, the cost is not small, because there are so many industries in these industries, the accumulated cost is not a small amount.

This is the result of Carlo's deliberation. As the king of a country, he has enough talents to consider the advantages and disadvantages of Italy's industry for him.

And as Carlo invests royal funds into these industries, it will inevitably have enough impact, which can also affect the lives of many Italians, and it will also make a huge change in the trajectory of their lives.

These changes are very beneficial for Italy.
