There was only the voice of everyone in the conference room discussing in a low voice, and everyone was touched by the crown prince’s proposal.

Obviously, the news that Thessaloniki will become the main production area of ​​Greece’s agriculture and industry in the future, they are still very tempted.

The reason why Constantine so eagerly encouraged the nobles of Greece to join and develop agricultural cooperatives and develop the Macedonian region was also because of the tight time, and there was not much time left for Greece to develop agriculture.

It is conceivable that once a war breaks out in Europe, the price of grain in the entire international market will rise. Compared with the usual price, it is very likely that the price of grain will double or triple during the war.

At that time, Greece, which is short of grain, will have to be slaughtered by grain merchants and buy grain from the international market at high prices.

Although agriculture in Greece has made great progress in the past few years with the help of agricultural cooperatives, a new type of agricultural organization, due to the short period of time and the lack of strong government guidance, the self-operating agricultural cooperatives only focus on cash crops. Some achievements have been made.

Under the shadow of the Balkan War, the Balkan countries were concerned about the progress of quietly infiltrating the Macedonia region. The Macedonian riots under the Ottoman rule firmly attracted the attention of the Greek countries.

The financial and material resources of the entire country are so busy preparing for war that they have no time to take care of others.

Under such circumstances, government departments simply do not have enough energy to help guide the agricultural cooperatives that the people form spontaneously.

Since the Greek customs does not levy grain tariffs, cheap wheat from the United States and Russia and Ukraine have entered the Greek market in large quantities.

Because the agricultural production conditions in Greece are far inferior to those of these two countries, under the impact of cheap wheat from abroad, the farmers who grow wheat in Greece are completely unable to resist and switch to other crops one after another.

Cash crops such as grapes, sugar beets and olives are favored by farmers because of their higher value and smoother sales.

The agricultural cooperatives in Greece have no plans to sell these staple crops, except to meet the wheat and corn needed by their members and their livestock, because compared with imported food, there is no profit at all.

Under this circumstance, the development of agricultural cooperatives in Greece is also very peculiar. Driven by interests, they have started to develop aquaculture, raising dairy cows, pigs, chickens and ducks and other poultry and livestock, and then selling them on the market to obtain high profits.

At present, 65% of Greece’s grain sources are imported, and the rest is the rice imported by Greece from the Congo.

In the past, even though Constantine also had a hunch that this situation in Greece needed to be corrected, after all, a country’s staple food was heavily imported from the international market, which was a dangerous thing, but it was also powerless.

The land in Greece is barren, the fertilizer industry is also backward, and the output of wheat is extremely low. This is a natural weakness and can be changed without manpower.

Whether it is an agricultural cooperative or an individual planting farmer, it is just that in the market economy, they have chosen a way that is more beneficial to themselves.

Forcibly ordering farmers to plant staple food through administrative means will inevitably lead to public resentment. After all, it violates the laws of the economy and the wishes of the people.

Had to give up.

But it is different now. Although the Macedonia region is not a fertile field with lush water plants and fertile land, the farming conditions are relatively good compared to other regions in Greece.

Now that the right conditions are in place, Constantine naturally wants to change the original agricultural status quo in Greece.

Greece needs to be prepared for shocks not only in industry but also in agriculture.

After Greece acquired Macedonia, Constantine had discussions with Prime Minister Venizelos about the status of Macedonia, and they reached an agreement that the status quo of the small peasant society in Greece should be maintained.

First, according to the government’s population encouragement program, farmers are more willing to give birth than workers.

This is a very obvious social phenomenon found when the government issued maternity subsidies.

Relevant personnel explained that farmers live a relatively leisurely life, and they live in remote villages for many years, lack of information, and have few recreational activities.

In terms of encouraging population fertility, maintaining a society with a large number of farmers is more beneficial for Greece’s rapidly growing population.

Secondly, the land in Greece is relatively scattered and the plots are small, which are more suitable for intensive farming and require more labor force to work.

There are no conditions for large-scale mechanized farming like the United States.

In addition, maintaining a society with a relatively large number of agricultural producers in a society has an invisible advantage, that is, it is relatively stable.

One of the characteristics of the market economy is that every other cycle, there will be an economic crisis.

During the economic crisis, many factories will go bankrupt, a large number of workers will be unemployed, the society will be chaotic, and the security situation will deteriorate.

During the economic crisis, although the lives of peasants will also be affected, the situation of peasants is much more stable than that of workers.

Because the cost of living for farmers is lower than that of workers.

In the worst case, farmers can guarantee the family’s rations.

Therefore, during the economic crisis, the peasant group is the ballast of society.

The peasants in Greece, except for a few large landowners, generally own no more than a hundred acres of land.

In the future, the Greek government will continue to issue policies as a long-term national policy for Greek agriculture: maintain a suitable number of farmers in Greece, severely crack down on and suppress land acquisition activities, and encourage and safeguard the interests of small and medium-sized farmers.

Constantine told all the information about agriculture and all the nobles present~www.mtlnovel.com~ Emanuel looked at the silent Constantine and listened to Constantine’s speech After thinking about the proposal and the reason for a while, I also understood the purpose of Constantine.

After a long period of riots, the Macedonia region is sparsely populated, economically backward, has a vast area and is in desperate need of development.

Calling on the nobles to develop the territory of the Macedonian region, there are also considerations for developing the Macedonian region as soon as possible and enhancing the national strength of Greece.

This is actually a northward movement, calling on the people to develop Macedonia.

Emai Nur has already had a hunch, and the government will soon introduce a policy calling on Greeks to go to Macedonia.

After discussing with everyone, Emmanuel stood up and said to everyone: “Since the development of Macedonia is the next basic national policy of the entire country of Greece, as the nobles of Greece, we should naturally support it.”

After speaking, he looked at Constantine and said, “We have just agreed that, in order to better develop agriculture, we should unite and jointly fund the establishment of a seed company, a fertilizer company, and a company that cultivate excellent livestock in Thessaloniki. Variety of biological companies to better fill the agricultural shortcomings of Greece and rapidly develop the agricultural potential of the Macedonia region”
