Holy Roman Empire

There is no such thing as giving out land for free. If so, would it be strange for the nobles to be balanced?

Moreover, the story of Sheng Mi En Dou Mi Qiu, Franz is not unheard of.Now such reforms have made great progress, and it is still too late.

With the advancement of industrialization, Austria also needs to turn farmers into workers. If everyone releases land, who would like to work in the city?

Europe is not Asia, the per capita land area is not low, the income on land is enough to fill their stomachs, and the living standard of workers in this era is not as good as that of farmers.

After listening to the Franz reform plan, everyone was relieved. Obviously, this reform plan took care of the interests of the nobility.

After the reform, everyone ’s interests are acceptable, even if they are lost.The nobles who participated in the rebellion are sorry, they are not considered.

"Your Highness, there is no problem with this reform plan as a whole, but if we limit the income from land leasing, can we remove this item? We can leave these issues to the market to decide!" Duke Louis proposed

Franz shook his head and said: "No, if it is not restricted, I am afraid that there is no difference from before the reform. We can not guarantee that all nobles have morality.

If there are a few greedy idiots messing around, our reforms will soon fail. The current serf riot is the best negative textbook."

Franz is reluctant to learn from the greed of the nobility. If it was hundreds of years ago, maybe you can still look forward to it, and now you do n’t have to think about it.

Taking into account the special national conditions of Austria, he has made concessions.He tried his best to take into account the interests of all people, and he had not raised the matter of abolishing the privileges of nobility.

For social stability, Franz also had to choose to boil the frog in warm water to first resolve the biggest domestic contradiction.

Prime Minister Felix thought about it and said, "This reform, I think most aristocrats can accept it, and we can also do ideological work for the rest.

If someone insists on refusing, we are not reluctant. In the event of a rebellion, they will be responsible for the safety of their personal property. The empire will not protect the greedy fool!"

It's no surprise that the butt determines the head and becomes the prime minister of Austria, and Felix must consider the issue from the government's standpoint.

In the case of protecting his own interests from damage, he also did not like the guys who hindered the progress of the empire. In contrast, Duke Louise has not changed his position.

The former prime minister, Metternich, was left with a bitter smile. If he insisted on reforming at the beginning, it might be another situation now.

The cabinet reached agreement on the reform of serfdom.This means that many people are unlucky. The policies implemented by the Vienna government before the Metternich era have completely changed at this time.

Neither Felix nor Franz can tolerate a group of incompetent bureaucrats, and soon the Vienna government will usher in a major cleansing.

Franz thought about the crimes, so he checked corruption and accepted bribes. Anyway, there are not many clean Austrian officials. This reason can allow more than 90% of Austrian officials to go to prison.

Of course, the scope of the attack will certainly not be so wide, only those stupid people who are greedy, incompetent, and not long-sighted will be finished. As long as others can efficiently complete the tasks deployed by the government, they will be temporarily passed.

Will the accounts be settled in autumn? This will be the finances of the Austrian government. If the finances are really difficult, Franz will kill the pigs.

Out of consideration for national interests, this time the cabinet also had to find ways to combat the nobility in Italy and Hungary.

The local power is too great, which is not conducive to the authority of the central government. These things do not need Franz to say, everyone will do it in a tacit understanding.

The situation in Austria is already very serious. The Lombardy and Venice areas have reversed and are currently being suppressed.

There was another riot in the Galicia region, the Czech region wanted autonomy, and the Hungarians formed a responsible cabinet. Even if there was no rebellion, there was no difference.

In addition, other places are not so peaceful.The Croats are now very confused. Originally they were part of the Kingdom of Hungary, and as a result the newly emerged Hungarian nation excluded them from their rights.

There has been polarization among the people, some want to stay in Hungary, and some want to join Austria and become an autonomous province.

Fortunately, they are also loyal supporters of the Habsburg family, which is worthy of encouragement.

The people in the Damatia region can no longer survive, and the locals are already poor. The nobles and capitalists are squeezing a little harder, and the hunger riots are intensifying.

The Slovenian region now also has the Revolutionary Party, Transylvania and Slovakia also have varying degrees of chaos, and there is little peace in the entire Austria.

This special situation in history forced the Austrian government to carry out reforms.

It was just that Vienna had fallen and was unable to regain it. The reputation of the Habsburg family fell to the lowest point, and they had to rebel against the power of the noble nobility.

This also resulted in excessive reforms leaning towards the aristocratic class, and at the same time the government made concessions to local forces, laying a hidden danger for the collapse of the empire.

It is different now. The Vienna rebellion was quickly extinguished, the power of the nobility was also hit, and the authority of the central government was not severely damaged.

The military power in the hands of the Austrian government is much stronger than in the same period in history. It was not because of the suppression of the Vienna rebellion that the troop strength was taken from the locality. This is the bottom of Franz ’s response to the crisis.

On March 19, 1848, the Government of Vienna promulgated the Abolition of Serfdom Act. All farmers automatically obtained the status of free citizens and enjoyed corresponding rights and obligations.

The controversial problem of serfdom has finally been resolved. From now on Austria will ban all forced labor, with the exception of criminals.

On March 20, the Government of Vienna promulgated the Land Foreclosure Act to encourage nobles to sell land to the government, but not to force it.

The government leases the land to farmers, and allows farmers to purchase their leased land in installments for up to 40 years. After the payment is made, the land ownership can be obtained.

If something goes wrong on the way, farmers can apply for a refund unconditionally, and during this period the land is forbidden.

The Vienna government is still dominated by aristocracy, and it is impossible to revolutionize yourself.

Franz is a realist. He has to compromise when he needs to compromise. He has no radical desire to confiscate noble land. This is impossible.

Just look at how many noble officers there are in the army and how many noble employees are in the government, and he knows what to do.
