Jerusalem, with the arrival of Franz, this ancient city has renewed its vitality.
Pilgrims from all over the world made Jerusalem prosper overnight. The hotel is overcrowded, and the buildings in the city have become temporary guest rooms, which still cannot meet the demand.
In order to solve the accommodation problem, the city management committee had to build temporary hotels outside the city.
The coronation is of great significance, and the guests who come to participate are naturally full. Almost all the great nobles in Europe sent core members to participate, and more than a dozen monarchs came.
Well, this is the characteristic of Shen Luo. With a large number of states, there are naturally a large number of monarchs.
Regardless of the size of the state, since others are here to support, the monarchy that is due is indispensable. This made reception a problem.
The Royal Palace of Jerusalem has a limited area, and Franz's family seems to be a little crowded. Naturally, there is no ability to accommodate guests.
This "crowding" is relatively speaking, no matter how shabby, it is impossible for a group of big people to squeeze a room.
Why does a monarch need a mansion? It must also be the one with dozens of houses. Otherwise, how can people settle down?
There are not so many mansions in Jerusalem, and even if the city management committee temporarily remodeled it, it still can't get it.
The big aristocracy wants to be face-saving. People come here to run for thousands of miles, and the reception work can never be careless.
Due to conditions, the treatment is almost understandable, but these basic etiquette must be done well in what status and treatment.
Then Franz had a headache. Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Jerusalem was a small city. Suddenly influx of so many people suddenly made reception a big problem.
...
In Berlin, after the throne in Poland, William I was happy for a day, and then he couldn't be happy anymore.
The previous Polish government was too idealistic and formulated a series of seemingly beautiful but actually highly toxic policies, leaving a mess.
Poland's natural conditions are not bad. Under normal circumstances, as long as the government does not die, there is no problem in achieving fiscal balance.
William I's ability is still worthy of recognition. After the succession, he immediately abolished a series of "ideal policies" of the previous government, and the government's financial expenditure plummeted.
The interception effect is significant, but the Polish government still has not been out of financial difficulties. The debt left by his predecessor is the most important factor leading to the fiscal crisis.
In order to increase fiscal revenue, William I carried out internal reforms of the Kingdom of Poland. Regrettably, the bureaucratic fighting power of the Polish government was too weak to complete his task.
This is an inevitable result. Any reform will inevitably violate some people's interests. While William I promoted reform, he also damaged the rights of bureaucrats.
For example, the core of William I ’s new economic policy was to sell loss-making state-owned enterprises, reduce the government ’s financial burden, and stimulate the development of a capitalist market economy.
Most of the state-owned enterprises in the Polish government's hands confiscated the Russian industry during the independence period. These industries are inextricably linked to the Russian Empire.
After Poland's independence, the commercial trade with the Russian Empire was almost zero, and the company lost the original market, and life would have been difficult.
At this time, I met another group of idealistic officials, and the result was naturally not optimistic. Soon the company was out of the market, and it was all supported by government funding.
Poland is not a planned economy. Under the free capital economy system, enterprises fully obey government administrative orders, and the outcome is naturally self-evident.
As the Polish government manages machinery, interest groups have gradually emerged over time, and corporate losses have become increasingly serious.
Driven by corporate losses, the Polish government's finances are also in distress, and this hole continues to expand day by day.
The people below fabricated a bunch of data, under the guise of an industrial power, falsely reporting the project to defraud the funds. Such a trick fooled the Polish government, who had no governing experience, but it did not deceive the arrogant William I.
The lie was pierced, the problem was exposed, and reform was imperative. Those who are not willing to fail have a vested interest in fighting back, and Poland's internal political struggle has intensified.
There is no way. It will not be an overnight problem for the Kingdom of Prussia to annex Poland. The Polish government still has an independent government body.
For the sake of political balance, William I was promoted to a close friend of the Kingdom of Poland, and must also be Polish.
The circle of this choice has been greatly reduced, and many times have to make compromises. The immediate sequelae is that the reformists and conservatives are fighting against each other.
From the monarch's point of view, this kind of struggle is in the interests of the king and can protect his detached status.
For the country, this level of political struggle has interfered with the normal operation of the government and affected the development of the country.
The contradiction is not just that. After the sale of the Rhineland region, the Berlin government worked hard to emigrate. Not all of these immigrants were resettled in Prussia, and a large part of them were resettled in the Kingdom of Poland.
This move did promote ethnic integration, but it created a series of troubles. For example: in the competition for jobs, Polish natives are not comparable to these immigrants.
It was late at night, and the Berlin Palace was still brightly lit, and William I continued to drag his tired body to handle government affairs.
Not only did the king not leave work, high-level Berlin government also appeared in the palace.
Foreign Minister Jeffrey Friedman: "Your Majesty, the situation is now mature, the eyes of European countries have been drawn to Jerusalem, and it is time for us to promote the merger of the two countries."
It is no longer a day or two that the Kingdom of Prussia wants to annex Poland. The preparations have been done for many years, and now it is time to close the network.
William was unmoved on the face, showing an expression of unconcerned expression. If someone pays attention, he will find a happy brow, but he covers it up very well.
Prime Minister Mochi supported: "Your Majesty, now is indeed a golden opportunity. At the moment when Franz crowned the King of Jerusalem, most of the high-ranking Vienna government was in the Middle East, and the Austrians did not have the energy to interfere with the Popo merger.
We have given up on the Rhineland region, and all countries have prepared their thoughts for the merger of Pope, and even if there is some resistance, it will not be too strong.
Except for the Russians, it is estimated that there will be no fierce opposition. "
There are pros and cons to abandoning the Rhineland region, and the biggest benefit is to free the Berlin government from the threat of France, and never worry about the French now.
After a moment of silence, William I slowly said, "Pupo's merger is imperative, but we have to do one more thing again.
The immigration work in the Rhineland region is not very smooth. It will not be long before we hand over to the German Federal Empire. At that time, it will be difficult for us to pull people.
After the merger of Popo, the first problem to be faced with is ethnic conflict. We have experience in this respect in history, and we can follow the Austrian approach.
If the main ethnic group can occupy absolute superiority, then the work of promoting ethnic integration will become smoother. "
The assimilation of Poles is a great feat of the Kingdom of Prussia. At least three million Poles have been assimilated. It is a classic case of European national integration.
These successful experiences undoubtedly strengthened the confidence of the Berlin government. If there were no successful cases and Da Bobo was so active, who would dare to think of them?
Prime Minister Mao Qi explained stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the slow progress of immigration, the main problem is resettlement. It is easy to move a large number of people, but it is difficult to provide corresponding employment."
This is a practical issue. If all resettlement can be achieved, the Berlin government would have ordered the local people to evacuate.
Obviously, this is impossible. Millions of jobs are not available every day or two. Now that the immigration work has been carried out, the Berlin government has placed more than 400,000 people, which is already a remarkable achievement.
