And this is one of the important reasons why the people of the Pope Country and the Kingdom of Naples warmly welcomed Benito's Royal Army. Compared to the Kingdom of Italy, people in these two regions have trouble even getting enough to eat. Each year, these areas are also the most severe in terms of population outflow from Italy, coupled with the economic difficulties in recent years, leading to their extreme dissatisfaction with the previous government.
And now, since Benito has achieved the unification of Italy, these economic and social problems naturally fall on his shoulders.
Therefore, Benito said, "For the economy of Italy, a strong remedy must be applied to save our ill-fated country."
"First, in agriculture, we must achieve self-sufficiency in our country's grain production as much as possible; otherwise, if we ever come into conflict with Austria-Hungary in the future, we may face the risk of grain import channels being cut off."
