New Industry of Piacenza

pcz_new_industryin_game/common/advances/culture_emilian.txt:595

The combination of the Po river for transport, the foothills for timber and water power, and a burgher class long accustomed to trade has given Piacenza the natural preconditions for early industrial development that many larger cities lack. We invest in the workshops, the credit institutions, and the labor market reforms that allow these preconditions to generate a sustained expansion of manufacturing rather than the scattered craft production that has been all most of our towns could manage. This commitment to Nuova Industria draws workers from the countryside, expanding our urban population and the income base from which our state draws its revenues.
