The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

v2 Chapter 1: The Arabian Nights (Part 1)

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz successfully obtained 10.98 million florins from the Austrian imperial government. Of course, the old rules are still expected.

Adjani couldn't believe her eyes. The young man in front of him had been spending money, but he had more and more money.

The purpose of this money is to allow more people to live a better life. Even the government of the Austrian Empire, who was cheated, has no actual loss, and what it pays is only the expected banknotes that cannot be exchanged.

That Solomon Rothschild's counterattack was resolved in such an understatement, even before his counterattack was formed, it was completely disintegrated, and even most people had no way of knowing that Solomon had counterattacked the country.

You must know that the Rothschild family at this time can be called the sixth power in the world, and Solomon is the head of the Rothschild family in Austria. Played like a walking baby.

A price limit order not only shattered Solomon's dream of counterattack, but also completely disintegrated the decades-old Vienna business alliance.

In the past, every occurrence of a price limit order in history would be accompanied by an uproar. Merchants would try their best to ship the price-limited commodities abroad in order to obtain high profits.

However, this time the price limit order raised the limit price to 170% of the original price, leaving a huge profit margin for the merchants, and at the same time, it would not let the common people starve to death. However, for those merchants who want to hoard It is the end of the world, because the price limit means that all their previous efforts are in vain.

A large number of government projects have provided new sources of income for farmers who have nothing to do, which can just fill the vacancy caused by the food crisis.

In this way, it not only solves the social problems that may be caused by too many refugees, but also solves the government projects that have not been completed for many years for the Austrian Empire. After dredging rivers, re-paved roads, and newly dug water conservancy and irrigation systems...these foundations The improvement of facilities will eventually better promote the economic development of the Austrian Empire.

There is only one thing Adjani can't understand, that is why Franz must let the German immigrants reclaim the wasteland in Hungary.

Doesn't he know that this will cause dissatisfaction in Hungary? Moreover, conflicts easily broke out between German immigrants and local Hungarians, and it was difficult for the Austrian army to provide protection for those royal estates in a timely manner on Hungarian soil.

Under the strong opposition of Hungary, only the Austrian section of the Danube dam was built, and the right to build the Hungarian section of the dam was in the hands of Hungary, and of course the Hungarians had to pay for it themselves.

Those who clamored for the Hungarians, those who did it themselves, disappeared without a trace in an instant.

And people like Szechenyi who sincerely hope that Hungary will be good, but do not have enough strength and funds, are doomed to build only shabby projects.

The way Szechenyi could think of was to let the Hungarian nobles sell the unoccupied land to the Austrian royal family, and exchange these unwanted land for construction funds.

And this is what Franz hopes to see, because according to Franz's estimation, there will be more and more immigrants in Germany.

Because with the development of the German Customs Union, the contacts between the German states and the Austrian Empire are also increasing, which makes the Germans realize the strength of the Austrian Empire.

The country in which they lived was no more than a city or a province in the Austrian Empire.

And the fertile land in Hungary is not comparable to the barren soil in Germany.

They have only heard of this kind of fertile land in the legends on the other side of the ocean, but going to the United States will cost the whole family's savings, and they are more likely to encounter storms and pirates and die in the sea. Of course, they may also be deceived and become bonded slaves. Work in the cotton fields.

But the Austrian Empire is close at hand. German immigrants can easily arrive by boat or train. Even if they want to regret it, they don't need to spend an extra train or boat ticket.

Instead of abandoning everything, risking their lives, and going to the New World to gain an invisible future, it is better to stay in Europe and go to the Austrian Empire to try their luck. After all, there is nothing to lose.

Some of the Germans who came to the Austrian Empire to work hard returned to their home country after making money, perhaps to show off, or to build the motherland.

Some people settled in the Austrian Empire after making money, and tried hard to bring their families to Austria.

Of course, more people were unable to integrate into Austrian society after earning money. After spending all the money they earned, they chose to go to Hungary to open up wasteland and farm.

During the same period, if the Germans who chose to immigrate to the United States could not integrate into the local life, then they had only a dead end.

It is not only the poor who like to work hard in the Austrian Empire, but also those scholars and artists who feel that their talents are underappreciated or neglected also choose the Austrian Empire.

After all, speaking German was an advantage in the Austrian Empire, but it was nothing in their own country.

At this time in the Austrian Empire, the Vienna-Prague-Dresden railway, the Vienna-Linz-Salzburg-Munich railway, the Vienna-Graz-Udine-Venice railway, and the Vienna-Brno railway have been completed.

Those under construction include Graz-Ljubljana-Trieste, Venice-Lombardy, Venice-Palma, Bunol-Kracow, and Bunol-Lviv.

The total length of the Austrian Imperial Railways has exceeded 1,400 kilometers, more than twice that of France, six times that of Prussia, and nearly half that of British railways. At this time, Britain has the most railways in the world with 3,100 kilometers.

However, soon in 1850, the mileage of railways owned by the United Kingdom will soar to 12,000 kilometers. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com did not add an extra 0, but the British railways will enter a period of explosion in the future.

The railway construction in the United States is even more exaggerated. They will surpass the United Kingdom in 1850 to become the country with the longest railway mileage in the world, with a total length of 14,000 kilometers.

All these laid the social foundation for the future economic take-off of Britain and the United States.

Franz has no such grand goals for the time being. He just wants to improve the railway network in the Inner Tania region before 1848. The total length is about 5,000 kilometers. Much bigger.

Franz sketched on the map for a while, finally stopped writing, and stared at Adjani thoughtfully.

This made Adjani feel nervous for no reason, she always felt that the child in front of her seemed to have the ability to see through everything.

Franz wished to have this ability, so that he would have more entertainment when he had nothing to do, but it was a pity that he did not have this ability.

Franz suddenly spoke.

"Miss Adjani, Namibia, Zulu, Congo, Ethiopia, you choose one."

Adjani is a bit muddy, these are all African countries, what is Grand Duke Franz's plan? Could it be that he intends to colonize Africa, but the Austrian Imperial Navy may not be able to support his ambitions. Neither the Regency Council nor the military will support such a proposal.

"Grand Duke Franz, I don't know what to choose, but I want to remind you that with the current strength of the Austrian Empire, it may be difficult to support this kind of ambition. Maybe, Namibia can, but what is the rotten land abandoned by Britain and France?" What's the value?"

"Okay, next question. If Egypt and the Ottoman Empire fought, who do you think would win?"
