The spring plowing of 1842 had just passed.

First Raubin is a German civilian from Bavaria. This is not the first time he has come to Austria to work. Compared with the poor income from farming in my hometown, the salary of working as a laborer here is quite advantageous.

Bavaria has always been based on rotten land among the German states. Due to many pests, it is difficult to cultivate, and the harvest is extremely unsatisfactory.

Although there are many river basins, the government is simply unable to rectify the frequent diversions and flooding, let alone build water conservancy.

Another point is that the successive agricultural reforms in Opp and other neighboring countries have used a large number of agricultural machinery and new fertilizers, and adopted new farming methods to rapidly increase crop yields.

As a result, the income of Bavarian farmers has become even lower.

Due to the establishment of the German Customs Union, the market connection in the German region has been greatly strengthened. The landlords who were already devastated can no longer resist the influx of foreign agricultural products, and in order to maintain their own income, they can only further exploit the farmers.

The meager income that Laborin earned from farming not only needs to support his wife and children, but also needs to give more than half of the harvest to the landlord. In the end, all that is left to him is the remaining fifty or sixty florins.

In order to save food and lighten the burden, he and his wife often fell into the plight of not eating the next meal. The children were all as thin as fledglings without hair, and even the bones could be seen through the skin.

They had a total of six children, but only two survived.

In addition to eavesdropping on other people's privacy, priests in the church even openly solicit prostitutes and bring mistresses into God's house. In addition, what they are best at is collecting tithes.

Merchants and officials are colluding, and the more difficult the year, the higher the price of food. It is not uncommon for the relief food issued by the above to appear in the store in a blink of an eye.

Jackals are in power, rats are rampant, the rich are connected with fields, and the poor have no place to stand. Officials teach businessmen the Trinity, and there is no way to redress grievances.

The roads are dark after nightfall, even the streets and alleys in the city. At that time, the annual public lighting time in Bavaria was generally below 2,000 hours, and there were often drunkards and hooligans besieging innocent passers-by.

Similar vicious wounding incidents occur frequently, but the perpetrators often get away with it, so few residents dare to go out at night.

Of course, this situation is very common nowadays, and Bavaria is not an exception. Except for the four countries of Britain, France and Obi, the public lighting facilities in other places are very poor.

Even today, going out late at night in France or somewhere in southern Italy still tests the courage of pedestrians.

back to business

Since the food crisis in 1838, Feist Raubing has traveled between Austria and Bavaria almost every year.

Over the years, he has experienced a major change in this country-people's income is getting higher and higher. From the first fifty florins to his present annual income of more than one hundred florins, almost double what he had earned in farming.

What's even more commendable is that workers with similar backgrounds can even use their rest time to go to church schools to receive literacy education.

Every week the factory invites a priest to give a sermon. Although the contents of the sermons were all the same as the old three, loyalty to the king, patriotism, and **** respect, the enthusiasm of the workers still did not weaken at all.

On the one hand, the level of priests in Daguo is indeed higher than that of their counterparts in the countryside. On the other hand, using their spare time to receive spiritual baptism will at least help relieve their tense nerves and tired bodies.

According to imperial law:

Any organization larger than ten people is required to deliver weekly patriotic sermons. The duration should not be shorter than one hour, and should not occupy the rest and meal time of the employees. First-time offenders will be fined 10 florins per person, and the penalty will be doubled for subsequent offences. At the same time, the responsible person will be whipped.

As the fiscal revenue of the empire is much stronger than that of the same period in history, the power of the government in law enforcement and supervision has been greatly enhanced. The overwhelming secret police made no factory owner dare to neglect.

Of course, it's not like they haven't thought of attacking the church with their nimble minds, but who would have expected that the latter would also issue a ban on pure teams, and those who violated the law would take off their robes.

If the circumstances are serious, even the scalp blessed with holy oil will be cut off and sent to the gendarmerie for handling.

What surprised Pfister Raubin the most was the Austrian public lighting system, which not only stays on all night, but also has mounted police patrolling the roads.

Not to mention drunkards and gangsters, even gangsters dare not easily run amok on the street.

Killing may not be the original intention of the mounted police, but it is not easy to stop a running horse in many cases. Even if they were not hit, no one would be able to withstand a blow that combined nearly half a ton of inertial force of a centaur.

The number of tramps and beggars visible to the naked eye on the streets of Vienna is also decreasing day by day, and even the group of "high talents" engaged in artistic creation can find their own pure land in the park.

A rule of the Imperial City store has also successfully ignited Laobin's interest-as long as the customer has a collateral as a guarantee, he can get the product first and then slowly replace it in the mode of installment payment.

Usually the price of the former is several times that of the latter, but for an ordinary person like him who does not want to sell a bag of golden beans heirlooms from his family but also tries to get what he needs for the time being without financial resources, installment payment provides great benefits. Good.

In times of war, farmers or refugees often join the ranks of corpse snatchers, and one of the most profitable businesses is stealing teeth.

Dentures in this era were expensive and mostly made of human teeth or metals such as gold. So it's no surprise that some generations of farmers have gold teeth hidden in their families.

A well-informed teller in a department store has seen even the most bizarre collateral, let alone a few gold teeth.

When Pfister Raubin was about to leave after a visit, he was stopped by an attentive businessman.

The well-dressed gentleman introduced to him in the name of patriotism and boasted wildly about the great potential of the stocks of the second phase of the Netanya railway project~lightnovelpub.net~ He even took the first phase of the project that had already been completed and opened to traffic as an example to prove it The royal family and the imperial government are far-sighted and far-sighted, and they will definitely support them.

Although the kindness is hard to turn down, the farmer from Bavaria still said honestly.

"Sir, I accept your kindness. I'm very sorry, because I bought this harvester, I don't have the energy to pay attention to the stock market anymore. I plan to go back to my hometown and buy two mules and use this harvester to harvest wheat for people to make money. "

However, the other party was not discouraged, and even seemed to have prepared a set of rhetoric.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't mind, you can use your harvester as collateral first. Then we will provide you with a loan. Anyway, it is still spring, and the market for harvesters will not be available until harvest time.

You can buy the stocks of the second phase of the project first, and it is not too late to sell them to buy a harvester if you can’t make any money. Of course if you have the will to support the country and want to get out of the mess you're in, why not try your luck with the stock market? "

For a low-level commoner who can only write his own name in his twenties, this argument has to be said to be very attractive.

Seeing that the other party was hesitating, the gentleman immediately added fire.

"The stock has risen by 100% in one month before. According to this trend, your assets can be multiplied by at least 6 times when autumn comes. Just imagine, then you can form a group with your brothers and sons to harvest. "

"Robin Harvesting Company!" He followed the gentleman's train of thought, and even gave his family's harvesting team a famous name.
