Chapter 132: Basic operation-digging

With the start of compulsory education, Austria's internal reforms have come to an end. The government's energy is limited and it is impossible to take into account all aspects at the same time.
Taking advantage of the Great Revolution of 1848, Austria's internal reforms have taken a big step forward, and it is time to consolidate success.
Any reform cannot be completed by a government decree, and more of it is to implement policies.
As the government was busy, Franz was relaxed. In his opinion, the emperor's life would only be better if the bureaucrats under his hands had things to do.
Once they were idle, the problem came. Either the power struggle within the government has intensified, or they have united to take power from the emperor, or even do both together.
Schönbrunn Palace
The maid Jennie said in Franz's ear: "Sir, this is the best tea that Lord Koko Gold brought back from Qing Dynasty-Longjing.
It is said that from the West Lake with the best water quality there, I did not expect that tea trees can still grow in the water, and it is indeed a world of great wonders. "
Franz Haha said with a smile: "Nonsense, who told you that tea plants grow in water?"
How could you be an emperor without a lot of people? After knowing Franz's habit of drinking tea, someone will naturally do what he wants.
Due to cultural differences, many things naturally change after translation.
As for whether this tea is in West Lake Longjing, only God knows. Franz can at best determine whether it is Longjing tea, which is produced in West Lake, Yuezhou, or Qiantang, which is too difficult.
Considering the relationship between production, Franz estimates that even if the tea is produced in West Lake, it will not be the best Longjing, and Paul Kotsakin is most likely cheated by merchants.
In this era, they have not been able to penetrate the inland areas, and many people have been deceived in doing business there.
"Is that the Paul Kochkin lied to me? Huh! Looking back, I must find him a good account!" Jenny said angrily
She was really angry. As Franz's maid, there were many people who pleased her.
For example, if the tea leaves sent by Franz are drunk, it is estimated that they will not be drunk in the next century.
Paul Kochkin also blown the tea to the ceiling and gave him a lot of gifts, which made Jenny say something in front of Franz.
As a result, a big oolong was made, and the little maid who thought he was embarrassed was going to explode.
Franz touched Jenny's forehead and comforted: "Well, don't be angry, I guess he was also confused.
West Lake Longjing has a history of more than a thousand years, and it was just a taste of tea hundreds of years ago. In modern times, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty visited West Lake, and he liked Longjing very much.
Up and down, West Lake Longjing's status in tea has increased. The best Longjing tea has now become a tribute. The output is very small and rarely outflowed, and most people can't buy it.
In fact, there is no such thing as the best tea in the world. Everyone's taste is different, and only his favorite is the best.
This tea is still good. It has good color, aroma, flavor and shape. "
After some show-off, Franz succeeded in gaining a wave of worship of the little maid.
...
After the episode, Franz successfully remembered Paul Kotsakin.
There is no shortage of talents in Austria, although these people have not left a big name in history. This is a stage relationship, not that their abilities are really bad.
In this era, there are usually only three kinds of people running overseas, one is a desperate one, one is a person who is eager for further social status, and one is a person who wants to get rich.
No matter what kind of person, in Franz's view are talents. Once Austria's overseas colonization program began, these people had a place to work.
Drinking tea, reading newspapers, reading books, this is Franz's amateur life. The extravagant life of the paper drunk gold fan, he also wanted to try it, but unfortunately people can not jump.
Who makes the original owner a dervish? Sudden changes, it is very easy to cause trouble. The emperor is not an ordinary person, and words and deeds may affect politics.
If Franz takes the lead in corrupting life, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Austrian officialdom, which has just improved, will fall back again.
For the happy life of more than 30 million Austrians, Franz had to continue to play his role, at best, a little bit lazy.
"Sir, Mr. Metternich is here." The maid's voice sounded.
"Take him here." Franz said calmly.
The emperor did not have a regular rest day, and was interrupted during the break, and Franz was already used to it.
"Your Majesty, the news has just come, and the Pudan War broke out again." Metternich said.
After the Berlin Revolution, the Kingdom of Prussia initially reached internal compromises. In order to transfer domestic conflicts, Frederick-William IV and the liberals roused the Putan war in a tacit manner, attempting to swallow Schleswig and Holstein Two principalities.
Finally, under the strong pressure of the Russians, the Kingdom of Prussia made concessions and the two sides reached an armistice agreement.
"What's the matter, did the Prussians inform us in advance?" Franz asked with concern.
The Austrian government is the only Prussian supporter of the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein.
Although it is just verbal support, European countries should not give up Austria's support when they support Denmark.
"The conditions between the two sides of Putan are too wide. The negotiations between the two sides broke down three days ago. Yesterday the two countries declared war with each other. Prussian talents informed us after the war broke out." Metternich answered with a frown
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the Prussian approach. Did n’t even say a little in advance, was n’t this disregarding Austria?
Franz understands the Prussian government's approach, and even if it is not useful to negotiate with Austria, the Austrian government will certainly not support their merger of the duchy of Schleswig and Holstein.
It would be better to settle the facts. By then, as long as Austria does not wage war on the Kingdom of Prussia, it can only recognize it with its nose.
"In this case, let the Russians be contacted, show our attitude, and let them be assured that they will do it boldly. Austria will only support Prussia in name." Franz sneered.
The Danish kingdom of this era has long since fallen, and it is not a Prussian opponent at all, but it is impossible to hold people together and find Russians to rely on.
Without the full support of Austria, Prussia wanted to annex Schleswig and Holstein. Ask the Russians if they agree?
Public opinion is indeed important, but Franz wouldn't mind going against the public opinion once if Russia could be fought. With all the excuses he thought about, the Austrian government had no money to fight.
Anyway, the Austrian people have not cultivated the spirit of internationalism and will not march for demonstrations. If anyone clamored for war, Franz wouldn't mind using all their properties to fill the army.
"His Majesty, it is unlikely that the Russians will launch an offensive against the Kingdom of Prussia, otherwise the Russian army would launch an attack last year.
If we don't intervene, the Prussians really have the possibility of occupying Schleswig and Holstein, which is very bad for us. "Mettne analyzes
It is very obvious that the Russians did not want to start a war with the Kingdom of Prussia for the Danes. It was not in the Russian interest to wage this war.
Russians don't want to fight, let alone European countries. Shouting slogans is okay. We really have to send troops to fight.
Austria's nominal support has increased the confidence of the Prussians, at least not to worry about the south.
"Express our dissatisfaction to the Prussians, and at the same time encourage the Prussian kingdom to fight through the German nationalists, giving them the illusion that the German people are supporting them.
The other German states were secretly contacted. Once the Prussians occupied Schleswig and Holstein, everyone put pressure together to force the Prussians to separate the two principalities.
When necessary, we can launch a preventive war, ceding General Poland to the Russians in exchange for Russian troops. Franz thought about it and said
Well, this is the most ideal state. As long as the Prussians are not stupid, they will figure it out in advance. Will they shrink back in history?
Franz dug this pit just to plan ahead. If he lived in the Kingdom of Prussia, he would make a lot of money.
"Your Majesty, if the Kingdom of Prussia is to be fooled, then it is best that we do not make secret contact with the German state, otherwise there will be more countries that are difficult to keep secret." Metternich thought and said
Although he did not think that Franz's plan would be successful, Metternich didn't mind trying it. The failure was a big show by the Austrian government, and Austria's position as the leader of the German state became stable.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take care of it. If the Prussian government is not fooled, let nationalists put pressure on them to keep the Prussians as long as possible in the war." Franz thought about it
The war is very costly. With each day of delay in the Pudan war, the military expenditures of the Prussian government are not small.
The more money was spent in the war, the less money the Prussian Kingdom could invest in domestic construction.
It is not obvious two days a day. If it takes several months, the annual revenue of the Prussian kingdom will be almost lost.
You know, now the revolutionary governments in Schleswig and Holstein also need Prussian funding. These are pure investments and will not be rewarded in a short time.
Even if they win the Kingdom of Denmark, there is no prize. The Russians do the back office. The Danes neither need to mow the land nor pay compensation.
Historically, the Kingdom of Prussia was forced by the pressure of various countries to withdraw from the war, and then watched the supported Schleswig-Holstein revolutionary government destroyed by the Danes.
