Chapter 40: Wartime economic system

After the rebellion in Vienna was suppressed, Franz immediately ordered the military to control the city, and then he was busy copying his home. This time, the implication was very wide, and he was confused for a while.
In order to appease the people, Franz distributed relief food as soon as possible. Anyway, it was copied from the family, and it was divided, and he was not distressed at all.
Food, coal and other daily necessities are now distributed free of charge. People who have just been stimulated are finally settled.
For political needs, Franz also decisively characterized the rebellion and threw the blame on the capitalists.
All the media in Vienna were controlled by him. At this time, all articles published were "vigilant against the conspiracy of capitalists", "the role of international mafia in the Vienna rebellion", "capitalists run their money" ...
"Copying", "copying", or "copying". Now the most important work of the Austrian interim government is copying, capitalists and nobles involved in the rebellion. The industry is not all concentrated in Vienna, so this copying work is still a heavy task. far.
Not waiting for Franz to appoint a cabinet, the news of the Lombardy rebellion spread to Vienna, which was a heavy blow to the conservative aristocracy.
When alarmists became reality, then reform was inevitable, and the voices of reformers in the Austrian government rose again. To avoid the collapse of the empire, conservatives had to accept this reality.
On March 18, 1848, Franz appointed Marquess Felix Schwarzenberg as Prime Minister;
Appointed Karl Ludwig von Brook as Chancellor of the Exchequer;
Appointed Stein, Count Leo von Tus-Hoek, as Minister of Education;
Appointing Grand Duke Louis as Minister of Home Affairs;
Appointment of Earl Kolov as Minister of State;
Appoints Clemens-Metternich as Foreign Minister ...
Franz has taken conservative measures with regard to Austria's political reforms. He did not enlarge his tactics at the outset, as can be seen from this list.
The political means are vividly displayed, a prime minister who advocates a strong suppression of the revolution, a minister of finance who advocates fiscal reforms, a minister of education who advocates education reforms, and conservative ministers of state and state affairs.
Even for power checks and balances, Franz also recalled the infamous former Prime Minister Metternich as foreign minister.
Of course, the main reason is that Metternich's diplomacy is strong enough, and there are currently no more suitable candidates in Austria.
The first thing the new government established was the aftermath of the Vienna insurgency.
At present, this mode of distributing relief food is definitely not sustainable, but now capitalists are stuck in the revolution and cannot extricate themselves. One by one, they have no way to talk about restoring production.
Now in this city, half of the population is unemployed. Without government relief supplies, Vienna will soon be in chaos.
Franz presided over the cabinet meeting: "At present, the insurgency in Vienna has ended, and post-war reconstruction must begin immediately. Nearly 40,000 prisoners are waiting for our resettlement. What plans does the cabinet have?"
No way, now is the critical moment. You must perform your duties just after you take office, but you do n’t have time to familiarize yourself with the business.
The Prime Minister Felix replied: "I propose a wartime economic system where the government takes over these ownerless factories and resumes production first to protect the employment of the people.
Specific circumstances, we can fine-tune according to the actual situation, adjust the production line according to market demand to avoid waste! "
Unsurprisingly, Austria was also a wartime economic system in history, and it passed the initial difficulties.
What's better now than in history is that Franz is quick enough to seize the capitalists' hands and confiscate these factories directly.
In other words, it is now dominated by the state-owned economic system. People at the bottom will certainly not oppose it, because state-owned enterprises cannot be as unscrupulous as private companies.
"At present, the situation in Austria is very bad. There has been a rebellion in Italy and Hungary is also moving. It is necessary to adopt a wartime economic system.
However, if so many factories have been confiscated by the government and our organization resumes production, labor costs will have to increase! Finance Minister Carl said.
There is no doubt that the government is face-to-face. The laws it has made must be followed. The suspended Labour Protection Law must not be used as toilet paper now.
Franz shook his head and said, "Labor costs have not increased much, based on the average wages of industrial workers in Vienna before the rebellion as the basic salary.
In most industries, we can also adopt the piece-rate system, which requires more work and more labor to stimulate workers' production enthusiasm. As labor wages increase, the products produced by workers will also increase.
If we shift to the wartime economic system, the waste caused by market competition will cease to exist. As long as our management is not problematic, there should be no so-called losses! "
There is no competition in the market. If production is carried out according to the plan, if all of them can make losses, or if the costs increase significantly, Franz will kill.
Anyway, the planned economy is only a short-term one. Focus as much as possible on suppressing the rebellions in various places, at most two or three years. Isn't the decline of the leadership so fast?
As soon as the Crimean War broke out, Austria just took advantage of this war to pass on the pain of economic changes and rely on war money to heal wounds.
With Carl's eyes shining, they knew the economy, and if they adopted the piece rate system, they could perfectly avoid the Labor Protection Law.
If 99% of the people's salaries exceed this standard, the remaining 1% still have opinions.
"His Highness's suggestions are very good. In fact, all industries can adopt the piece-rate system, which requires the cooperation of multiple people, and can also be grouped, so that the production enthusiasm can be effectively exerted!" Carl said with a smile
"Stop, this suggestion has nothing to do with me. This is what the experts have discovered through research. We must do a good job of explaining it to the outside world. As long as the workers get more money, there will be no problem in implementing it!" Lanz quickly stopped
He doesn't want to be scolded by Xiang in the future. No matter how beautifying it is, in essence, it is a more advanced form of exploitation, and if his identity is not hacked, it will be strange.
It's better to give it to the experts. Anyway, they are used to shamelessly, don't care about the previous one.
As long as they need it, they can come to any conclusion. Even Sun Wukong's cemetery has been archeologically. The "piece count" system is really nothing.
