Chapter 579 Materials scholars show their power
Hey, my Prime Minister, you are so naive. I have never thought of completely eliminating the government's deficit. In fact, a small amount of deficit is actually good for the country.
"Everyone, after talking about the financial issue, let's discuss the population issue. There is no doubt that the more than 100 million people under the control of the alliance are too small. For this reason, I think we need to increase the control of public hospitals.
In terms of construction and investment, we must formulate policies to encourage childbirth.”
"What?" Poor Osvales had just been happy for a while. When he heard Philip's words, he was stunned: Your Majesty, are you planning to spend money again?
"History has proven that because Europe is located at a higher latitude, the problem of parasites affecting population growth in East Asia is not serious. What limits our population growth is mainly various respiratory and digestive tract infectious diseases.
war, and poverty.”
"Now, peace has been achieved across Europe, and the impact of the war is gone for the time being. Asturias laboratories are producing more and more penicillin, and various infectious diseases can be effectively controlled. However, the poor people at the bottom
There are almost no opportunities to enjoy high-level medical care. Therefore, due to the constraints of poverty, the arrival of peace and medical advancement have not translated into dividends for rapid population growth."
“Here, my opinion is that due to limited teaching staff in the short term, we should first establish four medical schools in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Lisbon, with the Department of Laboratory Medicine in Asturias as the main
, supplemented by a teaching team composed of outstanding doctors from all over Europe. In addition to medicine and pharmacy, nursing is also established. Then, relying on these four medical schools, four large hospitals are established, and they are given the power to manage the health administration work of one party.
They will be responsible for unified management and guidance for small hospitals and clinics in various places. In particular, doctors across Europe must be required to perform aseptic procedures during operations, and methods for preventing and treating obstetric fever should be implemented for every mother...
..Ultimately, the Royal Government will promote this model to all of Europe to protect the health of people across Europe."
"In addition, because there are too many extremely poor people in the country and within the alliance, and compulsory education has not yet been fully popularized, this has led to many people at the bottom not being able to have children, or after giving birth to children, the children did not receive adequate care and died. In this regard
, I plan to open 100 orphanages in Spain in advance, with the maximum capacity of each orphanage set at 1,000 people. All costs will be borne by the state, and they will continue to expand as the country's income grows.
Also, for couples who are willing to have children and raise their children, the country should set up a maternity fund to encourage them. Ah, Prime Minister, please don’t look at me with that look. I will use this maternity fund
In the name of the queen, it was allocated from my private property."
"Praise be to you for your mercy, my lord."
"Hahaha, it seems that I finally didn't make my Prime Minister angry to death." After smiling, Philip waved his hand vigorously: "In addition to encouraging births in Europe, we must also tap the potential of Africa and the Americas as much as possible. I
It is absolutely impossible to believe that there are only more than 4 million people in Africa now. Similarly, North and South America are so vast, there is absolutely no way that there are only more than 8 million people... We must tell the colonial governors that as many people as possible
Control the local population, open plantations and develop mines in the vast wasteland. Only in this way can our food security be guaranteed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We have formulated a series of plans to promote the development of the colony. They will be handed over to you for review after they have been thoroughly completed in the past few days."
"Very good, then, let's end this meeting here for the time being. Prime Minister, please stay for a moment."
After everyone dispersed, Philip, who had just been in high spirits, looked serious and his voice became deeper: "My Prime Minister, what is the situation in America?"
"It's very bad, Your Majesty. The rebels in the Americas have completely changed their previous style of concentrating a little and taking the initiative to fight our army head-on. Instead, they have broken into pieces and disrupted the local order everywhere. Now, Buenos Aires, Li
Rebels have appeared all around Ma, Quito and even Bogota. They never fight us head-on, but as long as our regular army is not careful, local farmers' estates will be looted, mines will be broken, and roads will be destroyed.
Destroyed... In short, the scope and population effectively controlled by various governors in the Americas are now shrinking sharply."
"This is guerrilla warfare. I would never believe it without the intervention of the Chinese emperor in the Far East."
"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right. Our governors in America reported that according to the confessions of newly captured rebel soldiers, the leaders of some of their teams have been replaced by Chinese."
"maldita sea!" After spitting out the fragrance, Philip said: "How much has the output of gold and silver mines in America decreased now?"
"According to the reports of the governors, it will be reduced by at least 30% this year."
"Humph, they have a conscience and didn't give us a 50% repayment."
"Your Majesty, there must be situations where governors take advantage of the rebels to cause trouble, falsely report losses and line their own pockets. But if they really dare to report 50%, I would suggest that they be removed from the governorship."
"So these bastards are smart, and they know their speed very well."
"Your Majesty, these guys are indeed hateful, but now that America is unstable, we can't be too harsh on them. As long as what they do doesn't go too far, they have to pretend not to see it at the moment."
"Hahaha, the Prime Minister whom I hate so much, when did you become so flexible?"
"Hey, there is no other way. According to His Majesty's vision, there are too many places where the country needs to spend silver coins. I am extremely eager for the silver ingots shipped from America."
"Okay, I understand. Let's do this, Prime Minister, I have two opinions on issues in the Americas. First, loosen the restrictions on Latinos and mixed-race Indians from the Americas. This group of people can serve as middle and lower-level people in the colonies.
For official positions, it is best to appoint them as security police. We must use local people to deal with local people."
"agree."
"Second, the rebels are now launching a large-scale guerrilla war in the Americas. This tactic is very difficult and wasteful for the regular army to deal with. Therefore, in addition to the Second Guards Division already in the Americas, I do not plan to send any more troops.
It’s a regular army.”
"Does Your Majesty mean to restart the mercenary tradition in Europe?"
"Yes, after the European and Austrian wars in the past few years, I have seen clearly that the combat effectiveness of the European coalition based on mercenaries is far behind our Spanish army. The main aspect of this gap is the lack of discipline.
Too bad. Faced with a huge battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting in a decisive battle, how can we do without super strong discipline and execution? But these people went to America and took to the water like a duck to water."
"Your Majesty, I must remind you. The mercenaries have gone to America. They may be better at dealing with guerrilla warfare than the regular army, but what about their military discipline?"
"..." After thinking for a while, Philip shook his head: "It doesn't matter, the Indians shouldn't have human rights. They just need to work honestly on plantations and mines. Other things are too much."
Too much will make them think too much."
"I understand. Later I will go to the Duke of Alva and Count Tilly to discuss forming a new American expeditionary force."
"Later? My Prime Minister, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Osvalles pulled out a piece of fabric from his trouser bag: "This thing has recently flooded into our European market because of its reliable quality and low price. It only costs more than three
In a matter of months, the fabric market of the entire Apennine Peninsula and the North African region that we have just added to our rule has almost been dominated by this new fabric!"
"This, this is..." Taking the cloth in Osvalles' hand, and after repeatedly rubbing it and observing it, Philip yelled out of control: "Oh my god! This, this is polyester! It's actually polyester.
!”
The so-called polyester, its official chemical name is polyethylene terephthalate, the English abbreviation is PET. In the plastic classification of later generations, the code name of PET is No. 1 - it can be seen that this is one of the most basic plastics.
one.
In later generations, PET was used in a wide range of applications: almost all electrical sockets and insulated handles were PET. When drivers in later generations drove, the buttons to control the windows were often PET, and the pedal that stepped on the accelerator also contained PET.
In addition, the shells of those Fat House Happy Waters are basically pet.
Of course, this thing can also be used in textiles, that is, polyester. In the 1970s, after this kind of fabric entered China, it was far better than other fabrics because it was washable and wear-resistant, did not lose shape, did not fade, was easy to dry and was cheap.
The advantages of ordinary cotton cloth quickly won the favor of the Chinese people, and they were affectionately called: "True Good" by the Chinese at that time.
It was already in the 1950s and 1960s that No. 1 plastic was successfully developed and put into industrial production on a historical basis. However, this is No. 1 plastic. For a student majoring in materials science, it is almost
You must learn this as soon as you enter professional studies. Therefore, after Ibrahim withstood the EU's full blow, he first concentrated the efforts of the whole country to get pet out.
