My Italy

The busy city of Rome was no different after Carlo ascended the throne, it was all so lively. Except for some pregnant girls talking about this good-looking king, there is still no change in life.

"Well!"

Carlo, who was missed by the girl, stretched for a long time, and then looked at the manuscript he had prepared with satisfaction.

This was a carefully prepared plan by Carlo to build one or two large electrical experimental centers in Italy. Then use the results produced by the experimental center to accelerate the electrification process in Italy and achieve overtaking in corners.

In Carlo's view, if Italy currently wants to achieve overtaking in corners, it can only start with electrification.

Now that we are ready to embark on the path of electrification, we must develop electrification laboratories.

This time Carlo no longer planned to use the same trick of making small fights before, it was too classy. It's completely like a handicraft workshop. The key is that I can't even get the Tesla I want.

This time Carlo is directly targeting General Electric in the future, and if it wants to build a large-scale R\u0026D center. If there are less than 500 scientific researchers, it is too embarrassing to go out and greet people, and if the area is less than 20 hectares, it is considered small.

Of course, the cost is not cheap. The initial budget is 20 million lire. After completion, the annual research and development expenditure alone will not be less than 10 million lire.

In addition, Carlo certainly did not decide on such a large investment at once. The main reference is Edison's General Electric Company in the United States. Of course, Edison is still looking for suitable bamboo to make carbon filaments all over the world. There is also Siemens, which is doing well in Germany, and is also within the scope of Carlo's reference.

Moreover, Carlo found someone to be responsible for formulating this investment amount. Because it needs to meet his requirement to produce results within a few years, issues such as funding and staffing need to be resolved urgently. Naturally, money must be used to open the way and sufficient funds and manpower be used to speed up progress. After all, his laboratory needs to rush, otherwise Italy will spend a lot of money just to purchase the patent.

After Carlo put down the plan he was satisfied with, he called his confidant Domingo. "Where is my uncle?"

Facing Carlo's inquiry, how could Domingo, as his confidant, not report. "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent is currently a guest at the home of Baroness Hulls."

Domingo's words made Carlo's mood immediately deteriorate, and even this plan was not so good.

Since he became the regent of course, his uncle also brought his mischief in Turin with him. In just two months, there were several named wives, and perhaps even more unknown ones. It perfectly explains the word stallion. As the person who holds the actual power of the king, is it really okay to mess around like this?

Thinking of this, Carlo was furious. I didn't realize that I didn't even care about Nia, a young cabbage next to me. Those who want to do great things must have great courage. What can a person who can't even take care of his lower body do well?

Although Carlo was extremely angry, he had no choice but to let go in the end. What can I do? I can't just forgive him.

Who allowed him to have only such an uncle? Even though he was a bit of a loser, from a certain perspective, it was also good for him. It's just that I don't know if I can get this kind of benefit.

With this concern, Carlo bided his time for a meeting with his uncle and the Prime Minister. According to a certain practice, until the monarch reaches adulthood, there will be one day every week or ten days when the regent, prime minister and others discuss military and state decisions in front of the monarch.

Although Carlo has no decision-making power in this, it can at least give him a basic understanding of the government's handling of affairs.

And this day is very close, just the day after tomorrow.

Two days later, in the meeting hall of the Quirinale Palace, the young King Carlo was seriously listening to the discussions or quarrels of his ministers.

"Sicily's agricultural harvest has failed this year, so some taxes must be reduced or exempted, otherwise those farmers will not be able to survive."

"Mr. Custer, how much reduction do you think is appropriate?"

"I think it needs to be reduced by at least half, and for this reason the Governor of Sicily, Mr. Ambik, also agrees with me."

The one who was speaking generously was Agriculture Minister Mark Ryder. This man in his fifties, with a little old man’s head and a wine trough and a red nose, was arguing for tax exemptions in Sicily.

"This is too much and it is simply impossible. Our country currently spends too much. If we reduce Sicilian agricultural taxes by half, it will create a bigger hole. Who will fill it?"

The one who jumped out to object was Finance Minister Giorgi Ali. This little old man was also very lean and worried about Italy's finances. As a result, he was extremely smart and his shiny little head stood out in the crowd.

Carlo has seen a lot of situations like this in the past two months, but he still finds it very interesting. However, compared with Carlo, his uncle and regent Amedeo was different. He couldn't help but yawned.

This made Carlo feel uncomfortable in his heart, but he still asked in a low voice with concern on his face. "Uncle, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Facing his nephew's words of concern, Amedeo felt a little embarrassed. "Uh, yes. Uncle didn't sleep well last night. He has been too busy recently."

Having said this, Amedeo thought of those beautiful carcasses last night. Unfortunately, he exerted too much force and probably needed to take a rest.

But what he didn't notice was that when he said this, many of the ministers below couldn't help but frown. The reputation of this regent spread throughout Rome in just two months, and now everyone knows about this romantic regent.

Although Amedeo himself didn't notice it, Carlo did. This gave him a bad feeling. This uncle lost his dignity among officials in two months, which is not good at all.

Then Carlo didn't speak again and continued to observe the handling of government affairs, and in this, Carlo made some discoveries. That is Prime Minister Cairoli's authority among officials is increasing, including in the handling of Sicilian taxes.

After he spoke, the dispute was resolved.

Of course, the Prime Minister has a very high political level. He does not take sides and speaks facts and reason. Carlo vaguely felt that even without him and his uncle who was about to become a vase, he could handle these things.

This is not so much that he is dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's ability, but that the Regent, as his uncle, is too unsatisfactory. This will lead to a power imbalance and concentrate power on him alone. Another speaker of the three regents, Leslie, can exert more influence in the parliament. Now everyone knows that the parliament is just a rubber stamp and of no use.

Thinking of this, Carlo became even more worried about this.

After finally handling all aspects of government affairs, Carlo immediately cheered up. He knew that his first proposal was very important and related to his image.

"Please wait a moment, I have a proposal."

After calling everyone, Carlo came up with his own plan.
