Holy Roman Empire

Point to point, Franz did not continue to delve into this topic.

The capitalists are not troublesome, even if they have not yet occupied a dominant position in the government, the power they still possess cannot be underestimated.

Standing in Franz ’s position, it is okay to ask questions. If he wants to charge in the interests of the working class, let ’s forget the tough resistance against the bourgeoisie!

This great and arduous task, Franz has decided to hand over to the noble class conservatives, Prime Minister Metternich is one of the candidates.

Perhaps one day, the capitalists are demanding the opening of the right to vote, the implementation of constitutional government, and the liberation of serfs; the noble masters are demanding the establishment of labor protection laws to protect the rights and interests of the working class.

However, after the two gangs shouted the slogan, the Austrian people were probably dumbfounded.

This is also determined by the actual situation in Austria. The nobility still stays in the feudal class, which is a natural conflict of interest with the capitalists. The two sides have not yet had time to join forces.

If by the early 20th century, nobles and capitalists formed interest groups, it would really be impossible to do it by political means other than to overthrow reconstruction.

In addition to inflaming the flames in front of Metternich, Franz has other preparations. He can impress Metternich, the old fox, if he doesn't think he is.

Do n’t look at their good relationship, but politically, people never look at friendship.

While chatting, Franz also got the qualification to start a newspaper. Before the March 1848 revolution, the Austrian Empire implemented a system of book inspection.

As of March 1848, before the Vienna Revolution, there were 79 newspapers in Austria.This is a newspaper, not a newspaper!

Considering that a newspaper can publish several newspapers at the same time, the number of newspapers will be less.

Looking at this set of data, you know how difficult it is to run a newspaper in this era.

However, this is not a problem for Franz. The regulation of books and newspapers is to curb the spread of revolutionary ideas. Anyone can support the Revolutionary Party. He, the heir to the throne, cannot support the revolution. .

Franz is still very morally cultivated, anxious for the people's anxiety and worried about the people's anxiety, so his newspaper's name is "We want bread, we want cheese."

The definition of this newspaper is exactly the same as the name. For the safety of the newspaper, he decided to put it in front of the police station.

Opening a newspaper office in this era is also very troublesome. Even if Franz can omit the most cumbersome procedures, but labor and venues always need to be found by themselves.

The most important are newspaper editors and reporters. These people must have blood and dare to face this cruel society. They must also not be too blood-blooded, and forget who they eat.

The unfortunate poet of the country was fortunate enough to give the vicissitudes of sentence to work.

This sentence is still very reasonable, a large number of literati Mok also appeared in Austria in the mid-19th century. Some of these people insisted on creating, and some changed their way to play politics.

In any case, the propaganda skills of the pens are not comparable to those of nobles.

For example, the Hungarian politician Kosut, a lawyer, was a propaganda strongman. In 1847, he opened the prelude to Hungarian independence and once became the head of the Republic of Hungary.

Of course, he is also a literati. He is an idealist. The plans he draws are often separated from the actual situation, and the uprising is naturally suppressed.

Franz has no interest in Kosut, and even if his propaganda ability is strong, he can't stand him as an extreme nationalist.

The two sides are naturally opposed. Of course, if you want to buy it, you may not be able to succeed, but Franz does not have this interest.

In his concept of hiring, loyalty is far more important than ability, and the bottom line of hiring must also be guaranteed not to be an enemy.

After pondering for a while, Franz wrote a few names on the paper, and then commanded: "Raul, send someone to check these people on the list. If there is no problem, send them in the name of the newspaper. An invitation! "

"Yes, Grand Duke!" The entourage Raul said quickly

It is not easy to recruit people in this era. The university is still an ivory tower, there are no ordinary people in it, and the parents with the lowest status are also small capitalists.

The so-called inspirational stories are all used to deceive people, and the high tuition fees are simply not enough for work-study programs.

The literati Mok in the society is not as dismal as everyone thinks, of course, the exception is the family.

If you want to recruit people, you can either hang a billboard in a crowded place, or put an advertisement in a newspaper, or introduce it through acquaintances.

According to acquaintances, this is certainly not suitable for Franz. The people he contacts are not so miserable. Dragons and snakes do not know ordinary workers.

However, this is not anxious. It is still very easy to recruit ordinary workers. Compared with other industries, it is still a decent job to work in the newspaper office. I am not afraid that no one will come.

On the contrary, it takes time to recruit journalists and editors. The people invited by Franz are all well-known literati Mok.

It doesn't matter whether you come or not, it's just telling them that there is now another newspaper office in Austria, and they also have an extra place to publish articles to earn manuscript fees.

From beginning to end, he did not show his head, although many people will know that he is the boss behind this newspaper.

If not considering economic issues, Franz does n’t mind opening dozens of newspapers at once, and fighting for the dominance of public opinion.

Taking into account the issue of return on investment, Franz decisively counseled and mastered a newspaper company's usual guidance, and can bring rhythm when needed.

Reforms in Austria have been going on for many years, and the current Prime Minister Clemens Metternich was once a representative of the reformists.

But now he is no longer inside or outside, and the domestic bourgeoisie detests that his reform efforts are not strong enough to fully satisfy their interests.

The noble conservatives also rejected him as the prime minister. As a representative of the noble interest group, he advocated that the liberation of serfs damaged the noble group's interests.

Even the Vienna court actually did not have a cold for his reformist prime minister. The reason is very simple. The slogan was too long, but the reform did not see results.

Franz may be the person who understands him best in this era. In a word: Austrian Empire is like a worm-eaten house. If you move a part, no one knows how much it will collapse.

Out of a cautious and responsible attitude, Metternich's reforms were very careful, lest one would be bad and he would collapse.

Naturally, such a narrow-minded reform cannot succeed. How can it be successful without bloodshed reform?
