Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 15 Forced Palace

Seeing that the excitement was not too big, Franz went to visit another servant of the Conservative Party, Earl Kolov, and expressed concern about the current situation.

Everyone is well-informed, and in this political conflict, Franz ’s role is not a secret at the top of the government.

However, everyone is a good man. Franz's background is destined to be his own. At least when facing the bourgeois revolution, everyone is a person on a boat, and naturally no one will leak information.

Of course, even if someone leaks the news, it is useless. The conflict between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie can no longer be alleviated. What should we do?

Let the nobles give up suppressing the bourgeoisie?Or let the bourgeoisie give up seizing power?

At this time, no one can give in, nor dare to give in.Taking a step back now is not the sea and the sky, but the abyss.

It has to be said that younger age also has small benefits, otherwise Franz will now go directly to the front desk.

Of course, more is that the Regency Committee does not want to give up the rights in their hands so early, they must back up this black pot.

It's okay to let Franz start pulling hatred against the bourgeoisie. The consequence is that his crown prince regent in advance, and the regents become history.

On the other side, the life of Prime Minister Metternich is not easy. He, who represents the interests of the noble class, is self-proclaimed as a reformist, and it seems to be not very coordinated.

Originally, the two factions in Austria had fought you to death, and Franz had stirred up again. Now the conservatives are playing the reform.

Everyone always talks about serfdom, criticizing conservatives for hindering Austria ’s progress, depriving serfs of their personal freedom, and cruelly squeezing them.

Now the nobility began to fight back, comparing the lives of the workers and the serfs, and everyone suddenly realized that there were even worse things.

No matter how sad the nobles are, they can't let the serfs work 15 or 6 hours every day. Except for the busy season of the peasants, how come there are so many things?

Lighting costs are not cheap in this era. Capitalists let workers work night shifts, that is to make money. If the nobles let serfs work night shifts, they would lose money.

Needless to say, the life of workers and serfs is the same-suffering!

But relatively speaking, the workers in this era are more bitter. The factory is like a prison. Once you enter, it is difficult to get out. If something is wrong, it is a beating.

Whether the salary is good or not, it depends on the capitalist's morals. If you have a conscience that is not dead, you can get some money. If you are cruel, you can still owe him a debt for a few years.

Not to mention the problem of salary difficulty, not to mention that in this era, even in the 21st century, many regions have not solved it.

Happiness is contrasted, and pain is also contrasted.

Under the control of the nobility, the working class suddenly felt that they were the most bitter. At this time, the government had to formulate a "labor protection fee", which must be supported!

This is a matter of self-interest. The so-called constitutional reforms, popular elections, and the abolition of serfdom can all be postponed indefinitely.

The bourgeoisie is also not a soft persimmon. It is a matter of self-interest. It is at the same time that patriotic festivals have been eaten by dogs.

The Prime Minister Metternich, who was caught in the middle, had a headache. This diplomatic strongman was unable to deal with internal conflicts.

Like the abolition of serfdom reforms he had previously implemented, he is still negotiating with bourgeois representatives in an attempt to gain their understanding and formulate an answer that everyone can accept.

"Your Excellency, I want to know when the Labor Protection Act will come out?" Count Kloft asked coldly.

As the political enemy of Prime Minister Metternich, how could he not do anything at this time?Even without Franz ’s hint, he had to take action, but now his purpose is more clear.

"Every law of the Kolovt will be enacted after a period of time. We have to carry out actual research and then conduct a comprehensive analysis. Wait patiently!" Metternich said disdainfully.

He was too lazy to deal with political enemies. Anyway, it sounds nice, everyone is an enemy.

"Your Excellency, I can wait, but the workers outside can't wait. You have to know that there are hundreds of workers in Austria every day, because the capitalists die unscrupulously!

Do n’t they claim to be patriots?It is immoral to blame us for depriving serfs of freedom, what are they doing now?

Are workers not Austrian citizens?To know that most of these workers are the serfs we released. Liberating the serfs not only did not make them live better, but fell into another abyss!

This abyss is even more terrifying. He wants to devour all of it, and finally destroys the whole of Austria!"Count croft pointed at Prime Minister Metternich growled

This is the general again. The purpose of liberating serf is to make serf live a better life, but now the result is just the opposite. Too much evidence shows that their life has become worse.

This was a heavy blow to the abolition of serfdom advocated by Metternich. Before he could solve this problem, all his previous work had to be stopped.

But to solve this problem, it also meant that he had to break with the bourgeoisie supporting the abolition of serfdom, and even beat the bourgeoisie down.

Most of the reformers in China are now bourgeoisie, which will shake his status as prime minister unless he draws closer to the nobility.

Well, Prime Minister Metternich itself is the representative of the great aristocracy. He has always stood with the aristocracy. Except for the abolitionist movement, he does not exclude another compromise with the aristocracy. The problem is that this station also has articles.

He cannot be forced to stand in line, which is related to the issue of future dominance.Metternich also wanted to be the leader of the aristocratic class, not the agent of the aristocracy.

"Okay, Earl Kolovte. The government will answer this question as soon as possible. You can go back and wait for the news!" Metternich frowned.

"I hope so, otherwise our prime minister will be disappointing!" Earl Kloft said ecstatically

After sending off the Earl of Kolovte, Prime Minister Metternich's complexion instantly dimmed and was forced into the palace. He was in a strange mood.

After contemplating for a while, Metternich tapped the table and said to himself: "Just like this trick, I want to seize power. Kolovte seems really old!"

When he said this, he seemed to be very young. In fact, Metternich, who was born in 1773, was also 74 years old.
