My Italian Chapter 52

1881 was very frustrating for the Italians.

In this year, Italy not only suffered internal drought, but also lost the opportunity to colonize Tunisia externally.

So in the face of 1881, many people do not want to recall, because it is all bad news.

At the end of the year, it is necessary to summarize the year, but the results are not optimistic.

Although Carlo does not hold power, the data collected by the government will not be concealed from it, so Carlo can know all kinds of data in Italy.

First of all, don't count on Italian economic growth this year. Two things at home and abroad have cost Italy so much, and it is unrealistic to think that economic growth is unrealistic.

So in 1881, the Italian economic growth rate was 0.11%, and taking into account the relationship between inflation, it was actually still negative growth.

This kind of economic data has made the Italian government look disgraced. Although everyone knows what caused it, in the final analysis it is the government's lack of leadership. Although it was mainly caused by the previous government, it still bears the blame.

In addition, in terms of import and export, Italy's imports have increased significantly, reaching a share of 1.771 billion liras, of which the largest increase in imports is the grain imported from Russia and Romania. This year, Italy imported 2.87 million tons of various grains, resulting in the general price of grain in Europe this year. up 5%.

Exports fell slightly to 1.564 billion liras due to internal and external factors. The number one export is still textiles, followed by others such as furs, furniture, alcohol, and tobacco.

Take a look at Italy's foreign exports to know the type of economy.

This year, Italy's trade deficit is 207 million liras, which makes the Minister of Finance Sabot and the Minister of Economy and Trade Markleide almost all hair (in order to prevent Markleide from being too powerful in the Ministry of Agriculture, so the Prime Minister, in the name of raising credit, It was transferred to the position of the Minister of Economics and Trade, and the former Minister of Economics and Trade Gullits also changed positions, and all three groups were transferred).

Of course, there is no good news, that is, despite the economic downturn in Italy this year, the people have not expressed dissatisfaction with the De Pretis government, because everyone knows that this is not his problem.

Of course, the people are not patient all the time. If the economy does not develop next year, then the Prime Minister needs to talk about it.

Of course, the problems of the government will not affect Carlo. This is also a great benefit of losing power, although this is not what Carlo wants to see.

Of course, the new year needs a new atmosphere, so the annual New Year's speech Carlo is also carefully prepared.

For this speech, Carlo didn't even have a good Christmas, which made the two little princesses very unhappy.

On New Year's Day, January 1, Roman residents poured into the streets to take part in the New Year's parade, while the guards outside the Quirinale were busy preparing fireworks, while Carlo was taking a final look in his small room. speech.

Although this is the second time that Carlo has delivered a New Year's speech, he is still a little nervous. Carlo did not want to recall last year's speech, which was a complete disaster. He didn't even remember what room he went back to.

In fact, from the first speech, Carlo felt that he was no different from other people, neither calm and prudent nor general. He felt at a loss as if he was receiving a certificate for the first time in elementary school.

So this time, in order to avoid the previous dilemma, Carlo locked himself in the room and forced himself to study hard to deepen his memory. It's just that this method doesn't seem to be useful, and the harder it is to read, the more difficult it is to remember.

Just as Carlo was struggling for his New Year's speech, a pair of jade hands quietly opened the door, and a Li Ying looked at Carlo's back and walked over slowly.

"Hey, it's you, Nia."

Carlo, whose train of thought was interrupted, turned to look at Li Ying behind him, and exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, please let go."

Nia, whose jade hand was caught, opened her teeth with a flushed face, wanting Carlo to let go of her hand. She tapped Carlo on the shoulder just now, and was grabbed by her hand just as she was about to speak.

"Nia, do you have anything to do with me?"

In the face of Nia's words, Carlo began to talk about him, his salty pig's hand grabbed the little maid and just wouldn't let go.

Nia, who was questioned by Carlo, was distracted by the topic at this time, and spoke without thinking. "I heard that His Majesty locked himself in the room for several hours and didn't come out. I was a little worried, so I came to see."

The little maid became more and more blushing as she talked, and it almost spread to her neck, especially after Carlo grabbed her hand and felt the strength of her hand, her face was like a fragrant red apple, which made Carlo want to take a nibble.

Well, I have to admit that Carlo's straight-boy hard-core strategy of picking up girls has finally worked. If you think about it, you know that in the palace, young and young girls of the age group of Carlo and Nia are rare, and Carlo's thoughts on the little maid, no one in the palace knows. Since this is His Majesty's good heart, no one dares to have any thoughts on the little maid no matter how bright and beautiful she is, and even pay attention to what she says.

So in the palace, besides chatting with the maids, the only man who can talk more is Carlo.

So I want to give the two more opportunities to contact each other, but although there are many opportunities, I can't see how Carlo's tactics are rough.

Opportunities came to him like raindrops, but he blocked them all back one by one. But after nearly two years of training, Carlo finally learned a little bit about coaxing girls. It didn't finally pay off, at least Nia wouldn't run away from herself (disregarding the reason for her hand being caught, it's a good start).

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the speech?"

Although Nia is a maid, she has been in the palace for so long, so she knows a little bit.

"Nothing, how could I be worried about this."

In front of Nia, how could Carlo show that he was worried about the speech and couldn't lose face in front of the little maid.

"Really?"

Nia looked at him in disbelief.

"Why, you don't believe it?"

When the girl looked at him in disbelief, Carlo burst into manhood, intending to prove himself,

The little maid didn't speak, just looked at him like this, her eyes clearly showed disbelief.

Being despised by Nia, this made the young Carlo's mentality explode~www.mtlnovel.com~ But when he rolled his eyes, he thought of a solution. "Well, if you don't believe it, let's make a bet, how about that?"

Facing Carlo's suggestion, the little maid was obviously a little bit into the trap. "What bet?"

"Well, if my speech is successful, then even if I win, you have to promise me a condition."

"What conditions?"

"You can only say if you promise."

"If you don't tell me, I won't agree."

Seeing that the little maid didn't enter the confinement, Carlo had no choice but to say in a low voice. "Well, if I win, you kiss me. If I lose, I will kiss you."

"not good."

"Then what do you say?"

In the face of Carlo's intention to take advantage, Nia decided to fight back. "If you lose, then kiss Lulu."

"what……"

Carlo knew that Lulu was a little pig, kept as a pet by several maids.

It's big news that the dignified king of Italy is going to kiss the pig's mouth. Carlo immediately wanted to shake his head and refuse, but when he saw the little maid looking at him expectantly, after thinking about it, he became ruthless. , how are you earning.

"Okay, we'll settle it like this."

"Well, don't go back."

After the two agreed, Carlo was very motivated. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the captain of the guard came from outside the door. "Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for the New Year's speech."

"Okay, I see, come right away."

Carlo glanced at Nia next to him, and was ready to give a speech. Now he was not afraid at all, he just wanted to let the little maid see how he punished her.
