Holy Roman Empire

Looking at the labor protection law just released, Franz smiled with satisfaction. He knew that the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie could no longer be eased.

The eight-hour working system has been proposed, which is enough to show that the nobles were irritated by the capitalists and directly paid them a salary.

From now on, the working class in Austria has parted ways with the bourgeoisie. The government has given them what they want through the law. The only obstacle is the capitalists.

At this time, did the bourgeoisie dare to use the labor movement to seize power?

Obviously impossible, the enemy of the workers' movement is no longer the government, but the bourgeoisie.

For a long time to come, the capitalists must fight the working class until one side makes a concession.

"Tylon, spread the content of our" Labor Protection Law "as soon as possible. Remember to send a copy to the trade unions in Paris too!" Franz ordered.

This is the best era and the worst era. In 1847, there was only one country in the world that completed industrialization, that is, Great Britain.

The remaining major European powers are catching up, and the French Industrial Revolution is in progress and will not be completed until the 1860s.

The industrial revolution in the German region has just begun. Whether it is Prussia or Austria, everyone is still in its infancy.

Increase labor costs, resulting in reduced product competitiveness?

This is not a problem at all. The biggest problem in Austria is the lack of a market. Whether it is a worker or a farmer, all of them are clanking poorly. What is the basis for buying goods?

Who is the product produced and sold to before the market is not cultivated?

Export?

It's not that Franz despised Austria's industry. The industrial products of this era are still the most cattle in Britain, and Austria's leading products are still grain.

Therefore, it is better to cultivate the market first and then develop the industry step by step.

However, loneliness is not as good as the crowds. People such as Franz and the selfless will definitely consider the people of the world. Everyone ’s life is not easy. Is it urgent to improve?

In this regard, he believes that the revolutionary position of the French people is firm and he will surely do a good job of this work.Only an improved working class living environment will make the world a better place.

Franz did not know that in the future history book, the Austrian government proposed an eight-hour working system, which became the fuse of the European Revolution.

The March Revolution in Vienna, which was originally highly valued by historians, became a conspiracy rebellion launched by the bourgeois dissatisfied government enacting the Labor Protection Law under his butterfly effect.

The latter was the conclusion of the coffin given by Franz himself, and he never softened when he attacked the enemy.

No matter what happens in the future, Vienna is already boiling at this time.The newspaper published the Labor Protection Law intact at the fastest speed.

Countless literati and scholars are writing for this, either praise or criticize, in short everyone is very enthusiastic.

The reformists began to split, and the factions were celebrating each other. Austrian reforms finally produced staged results. Many people optimistically analyzed that the government will definitely continue to deepen reforms shortly after the Labor Protection Law.

The other faction is the capitalist interest group. They use the most fierce language to attack the government for destroying the free system. They believe that these issues should be determined by the market.

For this problem, the two factions were too quarrelsome.Capitalists who are not willing to lose their interests have begun to conspire, undercurrent spread from Vienna to the whole of Austria.

The workers in Vienna couldn't believe it first, then they were shocked. After confirming the news, they began to celebrate again and seemed to say goodbye to the days of suffering.

Paris

As the cradle of the European revolutionary movement, the people of Paris have always been the most revolutionary. The Labor Protection Law issued by the Austrian government has just caused a sensation.

The Austrian government, known for its conservatism, knows that legislation protects the interests of the working class. The July dynasty had not yet achieved it. Such an evil government must be overthrown.

Of course, rebellion has never been overnight, and the Parisian trade unions, which are experienced in fighting, had fierce discussions as soon as possible.

Seeing the Austrian government proactively enact legislation to protect workers' rights and interests, and also proposed the eight-hour work system, this advanced working model, many people also have expectations for the Paris government.

What if the elders in the Paris government suddenly figured it out?Their requirements are not high, as long as they copy Austria's Labor Protection Act.

Since the end of 1847, Paris has begun to strike a far-reaching strike in history. In order to fight for its own rights, hundreds of thousands of Paris workers took to the streets to demonstrate.

Soon, this meaningful activity spread from Paris to the whole of France, and spread virally to the entire European continent. Strikes broke out in almost every European city.

The "eight-hour work system" has become a banner of the workers' movement in this era. Because of the factors that first enacted the labor protection law, the image of the Austrian government in the outside world has also changed a lot.

Since 1817, when the British Robert Owen proposed the "eight-hour working system", this is the first time in the world that government legislation has been implemented, and the impact has far exceeded the imagination of the Austrian government.

Prime Minister Metternich, who has long been criticized as conservative by the outside world, once again became the leader of the reformists, and the Austrian people highly praised his reform.

However, none of this was what Prime Minister Metternich wanted. On the face of it, he became the winner in this government struggle, which not only thwarted the conspiracy of competitors, but also further reforms and won the support of the people.

In fact, Prime Minister Metternich had a miserable speech and formulated the "Labor Protection Law" under the pressure of the nobility, and thus had a deadly hatred with the bourgeoisie.

Is the capitalist so annoying?

There is no doubt that everyone knows this answer.

The revenge came so fast, still somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

On November 24, 1847, on the third day of the promulgation of the Labor Protection Act, the capitalists organized a strike movement, and 90% of factories and shops in Vienna closed on this day.

The bourgeoisie also submitted a petition to the king, requesting the repeal of the "Labor Protection Law" and the removal of the Metternich cabinet.

The troubles of the Austrian government are coming. The bourgeoisie is stronger than everyone thinks, and even some nobles who have no eyesight are bewitched by capitalists and participate in the strike.

The time has come to test Prime Minister Metternich. If this problem cannot be solved, it will take a long time for Vienna to mess up.
