Moreover, this kind of improvement is still very comprehensive, science and technology, ideology, economy, military strength and so on.

After a while, the Holy Roman Empire will be completely transformed, and the other countries around it will be left far behind.

However, after all, they were on the same continent and there was not much separation between them, and the changes in the Holy Roman Empire were soon discovered by the surrounding countries and began to follow suit.

Like the Reformation, this is a big event that will affect the whole of Christendom, and other countries will not be much slower, if they are slower.

Ideological change is spreading too fast, far more than economic and technological change.

In terms of science and technology, of course, other countries cannot be as comprehensive and advanced as the scientific and technological development of the city of Leber, but in some aspects they have also carried out some research.

For example, in the French Empire, there were already special research institutes, and the object of research was none other than the new musket originally invented by Eugen.

As trade unfolded, it was inevitable that these guns would flow into foreign countries, and the rulers of the French Empire were also quite far-sighted, and when they saw the power of the new muskets, he immediately realized that they would change the form of warfare, and even the general political landscape.

To this end, he immediately ordered the study of the technology of this new musket, and at the same time had the ability to produce it himself.

On the other hand, the Duchy of Hanover is like a 'spy' of the British Empire, and it is constantly transporting the science and technology and various products displayed in the city of Lybor to the British Empire.

It's just that all they can see is the final product, but they know very little about the inner theory, and they can only find out little by little.

This is also the reason why Eugen is relieved to show his technology, after all, these science and technology are not powerful technologies in Eugen's opinion at the moment, and he has even decided to show all the achievements of the first industrial revolution, such as the steam engine.

Then the city of Lybor secretly carried out its own research and development of the second and third industrial revolutions, and when the other countries vigorously promoted the fruits of the first industrial revolution, they themselves had already mastered far more advanced technology than them.

Other countries consume a lot of resources and end up technologically lagging behind them, and in this case, the city of Lebber can have a huge advantage.

Now, of course, it is still necessary to take advantage of the fruits of the first industrial revolution, which is ambitious, but it is still in its infancy, and it is not too rushed.

It's just that just when everything was going well, an unexpected problem suddenly put in front of Eugen.

In order to support Sicily and other disaster-stricken areas, Eugen had ordered the purchase of grain throughout the country, and everything was going very smoothly, but as time went by, the price of food suddenly rose a lot.

Because the amount of food needed was relatively large, the price of grain was reflected in the commercial trade table of the city of Leber, that is, there was suddenly a huge trade deficit, and a large amount of money was consumed.

However, this time, it was not that anyone was in the way of raising the price, but because the entire empire was in short supply.

In the whole empire, there was a famine! There is not enough food in the empire.

After all, during this year, the entire empire experienced a large-scale war for half a year, as well as terrible diseases and disasters, wars and disasters will make farmers unable to farm with peace of mind, farmers cannot farm, and food is naturally not produced.

This is a big problem, after all, people are iron and steel, and if there is no food to eat, people will starve to death, and there will be turmoil, and if there is no food to eat, how can there be any commercial trade, and it is impossible to carry out other production.

In fact, the emergence of this problem is not accidental, but a foreshadowing, but Eugen has never paid attention to this aspect of the situation before, which leads to the problem when it appears, it seems a little helpless.

The Italian Peninsula was one of the most important grain producing areas of the empire, and when the Black Death broke out, there was almost no grain produced here, and much of the grain was rotten in the ground and no one was harvested.

Later, the problem of the Black Death was resolved, and farmers on the peninsula began to plant new seeds, expecting a new crop of grain in the fall.

Autumn is now two months away, and if we can survive these two months, the problem of famine will be solved.

Another large grain-producing region in the country is the Eugen Lebor area, which has been affected by the war before, but the overall situation is still very good, and the grain output is able to stay above the baseline.

After this period of time, the grain stocks have been depleted, and the surplus grain has to be used to support domestic consumption on the one hand, and to be transported to the Italian peninsula and Sicily in the south, which is somewhat stretched.

In this case, Eugen had no choice but to buy grain from outside.

This exterior does not refer to the outer periphery of the city of Leber, but to the neighboring countries surrounding the Holy Roman Empire.

The most suitable is naturally the French Empire, which did not suffer any disasters during the year, and the Black Death did not spread in the end, and the food there was relatively abundant.

In addition, the British Empire was also one of the options, but the British Empire and the Holy Roman Empire were separated by a strait, and the transportation conditions were relatively poor.

In addition to the French Empire and the British Empire, other countries along the Mediterranean coast were also one of the options, with the help of sea transportation, they were able to transport large quantities of grain at one time, and the speed of transportation was relatively fast.

After understanding these circumstances, Eugen did not hesitate, and directly wanted to buy food from other countries in the name of the Lebor City Business Group for emergencies.

The grain of other countries must be much cheaper than the grain of his own, as long as it can be transported to the empire, it is sold at a relatively low price, even if it will lose some freight, it is acceptable for Eugen.

After all, what he wants is a stable development environment, and if a famine breaks out, it will definitely have a great impact on him, and the development progress of Lebor City will be greatly delayed.

In that case, his losses will be even greater.

Eugen is not a short-sighted person, if it were someone else, he might take advantage of the food shortage to make a lot of money, but he will not do this, what he wants is stability.

Only stability can bring prosperity.
