Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 41 Dealing with Prisoners of War

Which expert put forward this, everyone did not ask very well.Franz is unwilling to admit that it is the "piece-rate system" he proposed, and everyone thinks that he has principles and is unwilling to greedy others' merits.

In this era, the "piece-piece system" is undoubtedly advanced, which can release more productivity and break the tradition of "grinding foreign workers".

You should know that in this era, the capitalists used brutal methods in order to crack down on "grinding foreign workers," and that deduction of wages was light.

More often than not, he was severely beaten at the same time as his wages were deducted, and there were not many workers who were killed each year.

Especially in mines, in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, capitalists often kill chickens and monkeys to deter others from working hard.

It is obviously impossible for the government to learn these cruel means. Karl is concerned that the government will directly manage enterprises to lose money, that is, to worry about the emergence of large-scale "grinding foreign workers".

There are also many cases of this kind in the later generations. After a serious loss, a state-owned enterprise became a private enterprise, and after half of the layoffs, it could double its production capacity and instantly turn losses into profits.

...

"What are your plans for the prisoner's sentencing?" Franz asked next.

He decisively ignored the nobles and capitalists who participated in the rebellion. These people basically ran almost the same, and they were caught by fools with little brains.

As the leader of this rebellion, there is no need for a trial at all, and it has been resolved when the rebellion was suppressed.

It can be said that as long as the middle-ranking and above officers are among the rebels, Franz is quick to cut the mess and kill first.

In addition to those who did not fire one shot, and took the initiative to surrender and surrender, the other rebel leader and platoon leader all took the lunch.

More than 3,000 rebels were killed after the suppression of the rebellion. There were actually more than 2,000 rebels who were executed.

There is no way, the rebels have no human rights, as long as they are involved, the higher the status, the faster they die, but the ordinary people have not been held accountable.

Even the Artillery Party, which advocated revolution at the University of Vienna, took the lunch box this time, and the army took over the campus. Anyone who joined the Revolutionary Party and advocated revolutionary ideas had only one result.

These orders were made by Franz, but it was certainly not him who was blamed. The cabinet had not yet been formed, so he issued the order in the name of the cabinet.

If historians are interested, they will find that the issuers of these orders are all prime ministers, and Franz does not know anything about the crown prince.

This is a small problem. This time the people of Vienna were not badly blamed. Everyone hated the Revolutionary Party, and no one would sympathize with them.

"His Royal Highness, this rebellion is too widespread, and these prisoners must be severely punished, so as to be effective and deter the whole country!"

Grand Duke Louise's eyes were red, and he said aggressively, as if he had a common hatred with these people, and wished to execute them all.

Not only him, but several other cabinet members all had a look of hatred for the enemy.

Needless to say, Franz also knows that there are many relatives of the veteran nobles, and there must be their relatives and friends who died in this rebellion.

If this is the case, it is not unbearable, the key is that the rebels also ransacked their homes, the goods were robbed, and the loyal servants were killed.

Even the youngest son of Grand Duke Louise was slowed by a bad luck when he escaped, and was kicked by the rebels, which was the main reason why he was so angry.

Prior to this, he also advocated betraying the party lightly, appeasing the hearts of the people and stabilizing the domestic situation as soon as possible.

At this time, when the pain of bereavement is involved, everything is different.First, at the noble meeting, it was advocated to execute all nobles involved in the rebellion. At this time, even the captives did not want to let go.

Franz is very clear about the causes and consequences of this rebellion, and is more aware of his class position, so after catching the nobles who participated in the rebellion, they were not executed immediately, but left to the noble council.

The nobles participated in the rebellion, mostly because of profit incentives. In order to recover the losses, the main job they did was actually to burn the bank data.

It is not only the local financial institutions in Austria that have been hit hard, but even the branch of the International Bank in Vienna has not escaped.

The bosses behind these financial institutions are also the main force advocating severe punishment of insurgents, including the Vienna court.

The profits in the financial field are so great, how could the Habsburg family as a ground snake not participate, in fact, many financial institutions in Austria have Habsburg family shares.

At this time, it is obviously impossible to recover the loss.For this reason, Franz was anxious to form a cabinet. The main purpose was to let the cabinet withstand the pressure and prevent the nobles from taking back their losses.

After all, these were confiscated from the rebels. It is impossible to tell who the original owner of the property is. In addition to the real property of the owner, Franz is ready to fill the treasury.

If he returns to the Lord, he dares to ensure that all the loot will soon be swept away by the nobles, and human greed Franz is not ready to test.

Franz thought for a while and said: "It is necessary to punish the rebels severely, but most of the prisoners are workers, it is better to let them return to the factory to continue to create value for us.

Depending on the severity of the circumstances, fines are imposed, allowing them to work in factories to pay with wages, and they will not be free until the fines are paid."

This is the lightest punishment he can fight for. No one will be able to survive with the money, and the cabinet cannot refuse so much free labor.

"This is a good way. We can't kill all of them with so many people. It's better to use the waste better!" Chancellor of the Exchequer first echoed.

When the Vienna rebellion came together, there were more places where money was needed. He supported all the suggestions to increase fiscal revenue.

"Yes, but what about the diehards inside? What if they engage in destruction in the factory?" Grand Duke Louis said unwillingly

"This is simple, you can adopt a continuous sitting system, divide them into small groups, let workers supervise and report each other, and report those who have merits can be commuted.

No one reported being caught, everyone sat together and sent all to the mine."Minister of Finance Karl said with a sneer

Franz couldn't help but want to like it. In fact, if it were not Austria, there would be a series of rebellions, he was ready to send these captives to mine and repair the railway.

Considering that there might be more captives in the future, these people were not diehards, and they surrendered quickly under his call, and they were given the lightest punishment.

"If you don't have better suggestions, then this matter is so settled!" Franz said calmly
