Now reading: Chapter 222 - 157: The Nobles’ Concerns from Empire Rising: Spain, a Historical novel by Crazy Art Jionglong.

Was the first Five-Year Plan led by Pri Minister Prim successful?

This is a question that requires no thought at all; of course, it was highly successful.

Judging by the results achieved by the Five-Year Plan, Spain has transford from an agricultural country into an agricultural-industrial nation.

What does this an? Although agriculture remains Spain’s pillar industry, the industrial sector has also grown considerably in scale.

Currently, the number of workers across Spain has reached hundreds of thousands and continues to grow. The increase in the workforce has effectively raised the country’s per capita annual inco, and the increase in wages is why people are satisfied with the Primor Governnt.

Behind the nearly 2 billion Pesseta increase in the Spanish economy, the per capita annual inco also rose from 87 Pessetas in 1869 to around 115 Pessetas by the end of 1873, which is what ordinary Spaniards can see.

It is because of these contributions that as long as Pri Minister Prim continues to run for election, his re-election is a foregone conclusion and cannot be prevented by anyone.

However, at this ti, Spain’s political landscape has changed significantly compared to five years ago.

At the ti of the first Cabinet Governnt elections after the revolution, the choice of the King of Spain had not been determined. Prim successfully ousted Serrano and beca the Pri Minister of the first Cabinet Governnt, thanks to his prestigious reputation in the Revolutionary Army and the political arena.

But now, the second Cabinet Governnt election is more complex than the first.

Carlo has consolidated the Royalist Party, composed of aristocratic and conservative forces, and the throne has beco quite secure.

In such a scenario, even if Carlo cannot interfere with Pri Minister Prim’s continued re-election, he can reasonably demand more power.

Whether a power struggle or even a conflict will erupt between the now mature Carlo and Pri Minister Prim is the issue that concerns mbers of parliant the most.

But no matter what the mbers of parliant think, the atmosphere between Pri Minister Prim and Carlo at this mont appears quite harmonious.

After Pri Minister Prim conducted a brief summary report, it was then the turn of each minister to give their detailed annual departntal report.

With the summary report from Pri Minister Prim serving as a preemptive asure, although the mbers of parliant were sowhat shocked by the performance of each departnt in the Five-Year Plan, it was not so incredible.

The lack of good developnt in Spain previously was not due to a lack of potential or heritage but rather because Queen Isabel of Spain and the Kingdom Governnt’s Pri Minister did not give it enough attention.

The upper echelons of Spain sought only pleasure and enjoynt, so naturally, officials did not pay much attention to economic and industrial developnt, which created a vicious cycle.

Under Pri Minister Prim’s leadership, the Spanish Governnt expressed a high level of commitnt to economic and industrial developnt. Coupled with the prior implentation of the exam-performance assessnt bill for officials, it has made officials at all levels start to value industrial and economic developnt genuinely.

After all, industrial developnt and economic growth are linked to their performance, which in turn relates to their future prospects.

With these interconnected factors, it is only natural for Spain to achieve good developnt in its industry and economy.

As long as the Cabinet Governnt properly manages the highest level of control, ensuring that Spain’s developnt is practical and effective—and not just for show with superficial glory projects—it will suffice.

This governnt’s annual work report eting is over, but for the political scene in Spain, the truly lively events are just beginning.

As ti moves into 1874, Spain is also set to welco a very important year.

Although the Cabinet election is conducted in February, January already exudes an atmosphere of heated Cabinet elections in Spain.

Although the Cabinet Governnt election has nothing to do with most of the populace, the dia will not miss out on the hottest news item. From the first day of the New Year, January 1, newspaper vendors were shouting headlines through the streets of Madrid, drawing people to stop and read.

Although the Cabinet election attracted much public attention, those with insight knew that as long as Pri Minister Prim confird his candidacy, the position of Pri Minister of the Cabinet would have nothing to do with anyone else.

January 12, 1874, inside the Madrid Royal Palace.

Although Carlo had no actions, this did not an that the Royalist Party forces and the nobles supporting Carlo had no thoughts at all.

Since the Spanish Revolution, Pri Minister Prim has held power for five years. The nobility, being Spain’s largest class, could not possibly have no objections.

Just because Carlo has always supported Pri Minister Prim’s reforms and the stability of the Spanish monarchy was shaky at the ti, the existence of the nobility itself was a question, allowing Spain to remain peaceful until now.

But now things are different. Carlo’s royal power is quite stable and even poses a threat to Pri Minister Prim’s political authority. In such a situation, it is only natural for the nobility to want to use Carlo to achieve their own goals, at least to ensure the nobility has the power they should rightfully have, right?

Today, the Madrid Royal Palace was particularly lively. These nobles seed to have made a pact, arriving together to seek an audience with Carlo.

The nobles seeking an audience today are generally high-ranking nobles like Dukes and above, and Carlo naturally could not refuse to see them.

"Your Majesty!" A group of Grand Dukes and Dukes arrived at the reception hall of the Royal Palace with great montum, appearing very respectful as they paid their respects to Carlo.
