Holy Roman Empire

As soon as the newspaper published it, the strike at the Dakal Textile Mill soon became a hot topic in society.

The Royal Government of Lombardy quickly intervened in the incident. The first to suffer was the news agencies in Milan City. The person in charge was invited to drink coffee by the government news agency.

Newspapers have the responsibility of revealing the truth. Of course, it does not matter if they are not reported. It affects the credibility of the newspaper at most and does not constitute a crime.

If there is a trading of interests and deliberately cover up the truth of the news, it is a crime.

Now newspaper reporters from all over the country are coming, but the local newspaper in Milan has not responded, so it is natural to be suspected.

There is no doubt that the final result is nothing.Since dare to help cover up, naturally prepared.

There has always been business dealings between newspapers and enterprises. Interest transactions are not necessarily direct cash. They are scattered in the advertising business. It is very difficult to find out.

For example: Milan Daily, the newspaper sent the reporters far away early, in addition to the daily operations staff, several editors went to Vienna for vacation.

The high-level officials were absent, the reporters were all sent out, and under the circumstances of insufficient manpower, it did not appear that the Dakal Textile Mill had a strike, which seemed justifiable.

By evading the investigation, it does not mean that the matter is over.For a news agency, the most important thing is credibility. Without credibility, who would order your newspaper?

Many wise people have come to their senses, and this time Ludwig II needles are probably not aimed at the Dacron textile mill.After all, such a big enterprise is very important to the economic development of the Kingdom of Lombardy. What if the collapse causes massive unemployment?

The King also needs to consider the consequences. Instead, he starts with the domestic news agency, which is more likely.

Now that you have mastered the newspaper, you have mastered public opinion.It was normal for Ludwig II to consolidate his power and extend his hand to the newspaper.

It was Franz who took the lead and started the newspaper before he succeeded.Needless to say, after the succession, which of the mainstream Austrian newspapers is not affected by the royal family?

Facts have proved that this effect is very useful.In the newspaper, the image of the royal family suddenly rose.

There are naturally many followers, and it is still at the peak of the monarchy. The royal families in Europe are in control of power, and it is not easy to reach out to public opinion.

The Lombard royal family is a foreigner, and the action is naturally a step slower.After so many years of business, the time is ripe, and it is normal to reach out to public opinion.

Knowing to know, but there is no evidence.On the bright side, the royal family has nothing to do with the newspapers. The newspapers are warned by the government, which is the best proof.

It is inevitable to accept Zhaoan secretly, otherwise it will not be so easy to get through this time.

If you really want to find trouble, and use the advertising business as an exchange of interests, it is actually justified.The price can't fool people, and it's obvious that there are many problems in checking the advertising costs.

Ludwig II ’s actions were not kept secret, and Franz received intelligence as soon as possible in Vienna.

This is an internal thing in the Lombard Kingdom, and Franz will naturally not interfere.The king reached out to the newspaper office, which was only a trivial matter.

To some extent, this is also a good start.In terms of power, the emperor and the king stood in the same trench, and while Ludwig II consolidated the kingship, he also consolidated the kingship.

This can be seen from the orientation of public opinion in Vienna.The newspaper hardly criticized several kings in the country. Even if it was a curse, it was caught by the state government.

Franz didn't care what Ludwig II would do, but he was worried because of the strike at the Ducker Textile Mill.

If it can't be solved quickly, it may cause a chain reaction.In this regard, European workers are still very united, as long as someone starts, there is never a lack of imitators.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent telegram from the Kingdom of Lombardy."

The maid's voice rang in Franz's ear, interrupting his thoughts.

After accepting the file, and after a brief look at it, Franz had to admit that he also had crow attributes.

"It's not good, it's bad", I was just worried that the strike at the Dacron Textile Factory would trigger a chain reaction, and now things have happened.

After "changing wheat to mulberry", the food of the Lombard Kingdom relied on domestic supply.Compared with grain-producing areas, prices are naturally much higher.

It means that the cost of living is high, not equal to high wages.Due to the proximity to the Italian region, Italians often come to work, resulting in artificial wages in the Milan region have been unable to go up.

Compared with most parts of Austria, the wage level of the Kingdom of Lombardy is at a low level.Contradictions arise when income is low and expenses are large.

The strike at the Dakota Textile Mill is only a microcosm. The Kingdom of Lombardy has always been the region with the most strikes in Austria.

Strikes are contagious. Affected by the strike at the Dakota Textile Mill, workers in several nearby factories also followed up.Strikes are spreading in the Kingdom of Lombardy.

Putting down the document, Franz: "Informed the cabinet to come to the meeting and called the Minister of Labour."

The crisis still broke out. The late 19th century was a period of high economic speed, and also the most serious period of labor conflict.

Strikes occurred frequently during this period. Some capitalists also fired machine guns directly at the workers. Similarly, some capitalists were directly destroyed by the workers, which was generally chaotic.

The eight-hour work system in later generations was the period when countless workers won their lives with their lives.

Due to the butterfly effect of Franz, the eight-hour work system of time and space came earlier, and now the workers are fighting for treatment.

Despite the Labor Protection Law, the problem is that everyone's salary is still not high.This is not something the government can decide, but can only rely on the workers themselves.

The relationship between market supply and demand determines the labor market price.Now is the time for everyone to fight for salary, and the final result is still unknown.

The "Labor Protection Law" protects the interests of both employers and employees. Workers can provide treatment, and capitalists can refuse. No one can force anyone.

When it comes to the conflict of interests, this war will certainly be protracted.Before long, it will no longer be a problem for the Austrian family. No one can run away from all the industrial countries in Europe.

...

After seeing the contents of the telegram, the rushed people could not take a break.Everyone knows the news of the strike of the Dakota Textile Mill, but it took only two days to spread to the entire Lombardy Kingdom.

The number of people participating in the strike is no longer the original one hundred thousand, but has reached a staggering 300,000. This number is still increasing.

Franz: "You have read the telegram, and the situation is more serious than we had estimated in advance. Not only the Kingdom of Lombardy, the same problem exists in other parts of Austria.

If there is no accident, a nationwide strike, or even a strike across Europe, is about to appear.

This kind of thing is unstoppable. What we can do is to come up with an emergency plan as soon as possible, so as not to get in a hurry when you get it.

The Ministry of Labor issued a warning to poorly paid companies: if they do not want to face a big strike, then take the initiative to raise their salaries!

Tell them that the government will not interfere until the situation is out of control.If the situation is out of control, whoever is responsible will be responsible."

Enterprises with poor treatment are basically traditional industries.Emerging industries are in a period of rapid development, and the quality of workers is also higher, and the treatment is naturally not bad.

Now that capitalists want to avoid strikes, the best option is to increase the treatment of workers.Franz is not sure how many capitalists can listen.

But one thing is certain, if you stop production, competitors have not stopped production, or your market share will disappear in a short time.On the contrary, you can also seize the opportunity to snatch the competitor's market.

This is a crisis and an opportunity.After the increase in labor costs, if you continue to be aggressive, it is estimated that it will be eliminated by the market soon.

The era of survival of the fittest is about to begin. In the future market competition, companies without core technology will have less comfortable days.

Prime Minister Felix suggested: "Your Majesty, if we raise the minimum wage, we will sound a wake-up call to the capitalists, lest some people may be wrong."

Franz hesitated, raising the minimum wage was indeed very effective.It's just that human intervention in the market can easily lead to unpredictable consequences, and there are certain risks.

"You can let out the wind first and let the local government formulate a minimum wage standard based on the actual local conditions."

After much consideration, Franz decided to try it out first.This year's enterprise management is quite confusing. It is really difficult for outsiders to determine how much the capitalists' profits are and how much they can bear the labor costs.

Some obviously profiteering industries can make money casually. However, the same problem is that some people are losing money. The core problem is management confusion.

Enterprises with chaotic management are not one or two companies, but are common in the whole society.

The viability of these enterprises is very poor, and they have almost no ability to resist risks. Their ability to make money depends on a good market environment, low labor costs, and cheap raw materials.

If there is a problem with any of these links, you will immediately be in trouble.Now that the Austrian economy is in transition, these companies will normally be eliminated by the market.

It is possible to be eliminated by the market, but it cannot be eliminated by administrative intervention. These are two concepts.

Franz didn't want to blame the capitalists. He clearly blamed his own misconduct, but he put the blame on the government, which became the negative textbook of the government's intervention in the market.

...

At the headquarter of the Ducker Textile Mill, the old old Lanno sighed alone.The strike began to spread, and the situation was no longer under his control.

The matter has reached this stage, and the Ducker Textile Mill has reached the point of life and death. Once it is not handled well, he is fortunate to have worked hard for most of his life.

Concession to workers, let enterprises resume production?He could do this before the news spread.If you do this now, you have to consider the consequences.

There is no way. This wave of strikes was triggered by the Dakal Textile Factory. If we take the lead in compromising the workers, it will inevitably further stimulate the wave of strikes. There will not be one or two offenders.

Capitalists whose interests have been damaged will surely make a note in their hearts.Offended so many people, including many partners, the future of Dacron Textile Factory, that really has no bright future.

No compromise. Now that the factory is shut down, at least thousands of Aegis are lost every day.That's all, the Dakal Textile Mill, which has a big business, can afford to lose.

The key point is that there are not many stocks in the Dacron textile mill. Once the inventory is sold, if there is no timely replenishment of the goods, the market share will be snatched by competitors.

For a company, short-term loss is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of market share.

To lose the market, perhaps only a wrong decision; if you want to recapture the market, it depends on whether the competitors agree.

Xiao Lan Nuo said with a deep voice: "Father, we can't sit still any longer. At this stage, we have to make a compromise.

After the big deal, we will give up part of the shares and attract more people to come in. The problem can always be solved.

Now dragging so far, in addition to increasing losses, has no effect on the overall situation.

The wave of strikes is intensifying now, spreading everywhere, perhaps beyond the great revolution of 1848."

In the face of the cruel reality, Xiaolanuo has advocated compromise.No matter how much, sir saves and talks about others.

Offended people, as long as they are willing to give up their interests, everything is not a problem.In a capital game, as long as you have enough interests, the enemy can also become friends.

Old Llano wandered a few steps: "It is not the same as it was in 1848. Looking at the performance of the workers, we know that there is no possibility of a revolution in Milan."

Obviously, Old Lanno has been shaken.Milan will not be revolutionary, it does not mean that Dacron Textile Mill is better.On the contrary, it means they are in danger.

The Lombard government will not allow this situation to continue. In order to stabilize the situation, the Darkor textile factory, which is the source of the storm, is likely to be a victim of the strike wave.

Do n’t look at their large scale, which occupies an important position in Milan ’s economy. Once the ruling class makes up their minds, they actually have no resistance.

After a short pause, Old Lanno added: "Let the management negotiate with the workers. It must be done separately.

Remember, workers must not be held together, and conflicts must be created between workers as much as possible.Especially these workers ’representatives must be excused afterwards."
