"Your Highness, this is the report we spent three months compiling."
The captain of the guard stood in front of Edel and handed the Romanian Economic and Demographic Survey report to the Crown Prince sitting behind the desk.
"Thank you for your hard work, Calust." Edel replied after taking the report.
The captain of the guard replied in a deep voice, "It's not hard to work for His Highness."
According to the demographic statistics written at the beginning of this report, the Romanian population at the end of 1910 was 7.78 million, 790,000 more than in 1905. Among them, 110,000 were foreigners, most of whom came to Romania to work and
Doing business, 90,000 of the 110,000 foreigners are Romanian. Among them, Transylvania accounts for 67%, Bessarabia accounts for 21%, and other regions only account for 12%. From here we can see
Transylvania's identification with Romania.
Regarding Romania’s population of 7.67 million, the male population accounts for 3.82 million and the female population is 3.85 million. At present, the gender seems to be relatively balanced. In terms of population growth, Romania’s birth rate per thousand people is 42.3, and the death rate is 24.4.
The annual growth rate is 1.79%, which is a larger increase than the 1.51% data in 1905.
In terms of ethnicity, the Romanians have an absolute advantage of 94%, while others such as Germans, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Jews, etc. only account for 6%. Among them, the Germans generally live in the middle and upper classes of society, which was brought about by Father Carol I.
The influence of the coming years. Bulgarians mainly live in Constanta, a region close to Bulgaria. The number of Jews has dropped significantly compared with 1905. This is due to the anti-Semitic action led by Edel in 1906, which caused more than 30,000 Jews to leave Romania. Ukrainians are mainly
The residence is close to the Bessarabia region.
In terms of agriculture, the cultivated area is 6.13 million hectares. Among them, the sown area of wheat is 2.443 million hectares, the sown area of rye is 127,000 hectares, the sown area of barley is 650,000 hectares, the sown area of oats is 454,000 hectares, and the sown area of corn is 2.37 million hectares.
Ten thousand hectares, of which 14,000 hectares were sown with sugar beets and 15,000 hectares with potatoes. It should be pointed out in particular that during the peasant uprising in 1907, Romania’s cultivated area rapidly decreased by 21%, and it was not until three years later that it recovered to the level of 1906.
Cultivated area, from this point on Edel inadvertently helped Romanian agriculture.
In terms of output in 1910, Romania produced 3.206 million tons of wheat, 256,000 tons of rye, 601,000 tons of barley, 511,000 tons of oats, 3.214 million tons of corn, 184,000 tons of potatoes, and 292,000 tons of sugar beets. Overall Romanian agriculture
The level is still poor. Taking wheat as an example, Romania's yield per hectare is 1.31 tons, while Germany's yield is 2.13 tons per hectare. The grain yield per hectare is 820 kilograms lower than Germany, and the yield per hectare is only 61.5% of Germany's. In agriculture
Romania still has a long way to go.
Romania still needs great development in agriculture, but in industry Romania can still achieve good results. Currently, Romania has 1.38 million workers, including 760,000 in mining and manufacturing, 102,000 in commerce and finance, and 102,000 in transportation.
There are 158,000 people in the communications industry, 348,000 people in the service industry, and 12,000 people in other industries.
This can be seen from the current position of the mining and manufacturing industry in Romania. The mining industry is mainly oil and potash mining, and the manufacturing industry is also mainly metallurgy, internal combustion engines, and automobile manufacturing. In addition, there is a steel plant with an annual output of 400,000 tons, and a steel plant with an annual output of 400,000 tons.
The chemical plant that mainly produces potassium fertilizer is the main large-scale industrial plant in Romania. It can be seen here that Romania's industrialization mainly relies on the promotion of the state and the royal family. The domestic bourgeoisie is still relatively weak, so it can only support it first.
In terms of external exports, Romania's agricultural products have begun to decrease (mainly due to strong domestic demand). The value of exports of grain and other agricultural products is 182 million lei, a decrease of 10 million lei from the previous year, but it is still the second largest grain exporter in Europe. In Romania
The first export product was complete vehicles and spare parts, reaching RON 267 million. The second largest export was refined oil exports. Thanks to the booming development of the automobile industry, oil prices rose a lot. In 1910, Romanian refined oil products
and pan-biotic products exports reached 213 million lei. Including other types of exports, Romania's total exports reached 956 million lei in 1910, an increase of 2.2 times compared with five years ago. This fully demonstrates the strong momentum of Romania's exports.
The total export volume is strong, and the import volume is also unambiguous. Edel saw that the import volume item shows that in 1910, Romania's total import volume was 891 million lei, which was an increase of 2 times compared with the import volume five years ago. Among them, machinery and equipment accounted for
Most of them are light industrial products, such as textiles, leather products, daily necessities, etc.
The culprit responsible for the rapid development of Romania's heavy industry and the slow development of light industry was the crown prince himself.
Because there are memories of previous lives plus experiences in this life (the mainstream thinking in the world before World War I was Darwin's theory. Mr. Yan Fu's most famous sentence explains that in this world, the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive. In fact, it is the same now, but the strong
Investors should pay attention to their face.) Developing heavy industry is the best way to enhance national strength. Edel pays special attention to this when developing industry. Every time he builds a large factory, he tries to purchase some parts from abroad. This can absorb the social
Using funds to develop heavy industry can also save funds and costs.
This ran counter to the mainstream view at the time. Take Volkswagen and Ford Motor Plants as examples. Both were large factories with an annual production capacity of 100,000 vehicles. There were more than 96,000 direct employees of Volkswagen plus supporting factories, and
There are 87,000 people in the Ford factory. Last year, Volkswagen earned 51 million lei (9.95 million U.S. dollars) in profit, while Ford's profit last year was 12.1 million U.S. dollars. It can be seen from this that under the circumstances of high efficiency, Ford
approach can yield more benefits.
After reading the import and export, Edel continued to turn back. The next page was about residents' savings. This is very simple because the amount is small. Romania's national commercial deposits were 87.14 million lei. The crown prince was a little unconvinced and continued to check. The result was 52.46 million lei in 1905.
I. Looking at the average commercial deposit of 11 lei per person, Edel thought to himself that it is no wonder that the Romanian bourgeoisie cannot develop. How can it develop with these deposits? It is still necessary for the country and the royal family to carry out industrialization so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
.
Romania's banknote circulation is not too high, only 493 million lei. However, it is more than five years ago. In 1905, the banknote circulation was only 192 million lei, which was one and a half times higher. You must know that this was the era of the gold standard.
, every banknote needs gold to support it. This shows that Romania is gradually changing the face of poverty and backwardness.
Edel turned to the end. This is the currently calculated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Romania. The popular statistical methods in Europe are now: Gross National Product (GDP), Gross Domestic Product (GNP), Net National Product (N
·NP). In the end, Edel chose the Gross National Product (GDP) that he heard the most.
The figure of 5.13 billion lei (1 billion U.S. dollars) is Romania's GDP, an increase of 8% from the previous year's 4.75 billion lei, and half higher than the 3.43 billion lei in 1905. Eder felt inwardly when he saw this number.
He is also full of pride, and his hard work is not in vain. Now Romania ranks first economically in the Balkans. Militarily, Eder is not worried. With the reinforced German division, no one is his opponent in the Balkans except Austria-Hungary.
(Sorry for the difficulty in finding the information, Mantou is late. Regarding currency exchange, Mantou found the most recognized one. One pound = 4.88 U.S. dollars = 20 German marks = 25 lei, francs, lira. If you don’t understand, just compare it.)
