Chapter 19, the storm

I have to say that Prime Minister Metternich still has some ability. At this time, the Austrian government is also very strong, and the bourgeoisie's strike behavior still does not scare them. The

great aristocrats supported the government at this time. Their energy is no less than that of the capitalists. Other materials may not have much in their hands, but only food.

Each one is a big landlord. There is still a large group of serfs in the family. Whose family has no food? The government bought a batch of food from them and sent it to the emergency. That is not a problem at all.

The concatenation of capitalists can't be done without secrecy. Before the crisis broke out, the Vienna government invested in a batch of food from the nobility to make reserves.

At the beginning of the strike, the government sold grain to the outside world, guaranteeing the food supply in Vienna, but the prosperity of the past was gone. Looking at the depressed market, many people in the government are anxious.

The Minister of the Interior, Fisher, said: "The Prime Minister, this is not the case. The food problem has been solved, but other materials are still in short supply.

Moreover, now the capitalists have closed the factory and the workers have lost their income. I am afraid they are in their hands. The money will soon be exhausted, and then it will be..."

Metternich sneered and said: "Don't worry, this situation will not last long. You must know that the capitalists are losing gold coins every day, small businessmen. It's not enough for a few days!

However, we really can't sit back and ignore the aristocrats. I will ask the Grand Dukes to do the work for them. If they are standing with the capitalists, they will be In addition to the name of the nobility,

as long as someone takes the lead, the latter thing is easy to do, and the capitalists are not a piece of iron. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not be able to pass the money!"

... The

fact is also true, the traffic of the strike only lasted. In less than a week, it ended in the failure of the capitalists.

The nobility who participated in the strike was first convinced by people.

Do you want the glory of the nobility?

For the sake of a little bit of interest, it has fallen to the point of being a capitalist, and it is simply a shame to the nobility.

Anyway, standing and speaking, no pain, most of the nobles in this era have not yet become capitalists. Looking at the upstarts who are engaged in business and industry, they have long been unbalanced. At this time, of course, they must be accused of righteousness.

Aristocratic banquets no longer invite them to participate. They invite others, and others refuse to accept righteous words. Friends and family have come to do ideological work.

The radical aristocrats have been screaming, and this part of the fallen aristocrats will be kicked out of the aristocratic circle, which suddenly frightened many people.

Although Austrian capitalists have money, they have no political status! It is not easy to get a hereditary title. If it is lost, then it will be worth it?

The aristocrats who could not resist the pressure had to draw a line with the capitalists and withdraw from the ranks of the strike.

There are even people who think that: to improve the treatment of workers, they will improve the treatment of workers, and they will not be able to use serfs after Laozi!

Well, such idiots are only a few, and most people know that once compromises, the future labor costs will inevitably rise.

Want to use serfs? Dreaming, I really think that every day in the society is calling for the abolition of serfdom, just shouting slogans, will not become a reality?

Some people took the lead, and the profit-seeking nature of the capitalists was doomed to the alliance they had concluded, and they could not persist for a long time.

Everyone is not a selfless person. When someone looks at the door to open a business and makes money, others naturally feel unbalanced. Why do we have the risk of killing the head and fight for the benefit?

The first wave of counter-attacks initiated by the bourgeoisie, because the organization was not tight enough, did not bind the members, and soon lost.

For all of this, Franz is not surprised. Unless it is possible to cut off food and coal, these supplies must be supplied, otherwise it will be difficult for the Vienna government to compromise in a short time.

However, these are not what capitalists can't do. During this period, the Austrian aristocracy was too strong. Food and coal were produced on the land of the people. The capitalists did not sell it. Will they not sell it by themselves?

Do you have an acquisition contract? At this time, I also expect people to abide by the rules of the game? As a rule maker, people have the right to modify the rules!

Franz knows that this matter is not over yet, and the capitalists will not be willing to fail. If the government is not prepared, then they will suffer a big loss in the next economic war.

Thinking of this, Franz secretly regretted it. He knew that he had hoarded a batch of materials. When the capitalists stopped, the price of Vienna was nearly doubled.

"Raul, how much food can I sell in my manor?"

"Dagong, according to your instructions, we have not sold this year's food, but when the strike broke out some time ago, we also sold one. 1.5 million pounds of wheat gave the government an emergency, leaving enough food to eat, about

3.86 million pounds." Raul replied (1 pound = 0.45359237 kg)

to the government for food, Franz Naturally, his estate is only 30 kilometers away from Vienna. When it comes to the crisis, Franz, the emperor's emperor, is still very fucking.

3.86 million pounds, this number sounds very big. If it is converted into tons, it will be more than 1,750 tons, and it will sell for two or three thousand gold coins.

It is also the income that Franz can obtain after deducting the production cost. All the estates of the royal family have already released the serfs, and the labor costs are not a small expense.

"Be prepared, once the price of wheat rises by more than 20 percent, sell the food!" Franz thought about it.

He knew that the capitalists would not give up, and that high prices were the most common. One of the means, the price of food in Vienna is bound to skyrocket.

Industrialization has begun, and now wheat can only be sold to flour mills. No matter how high the price of food on the market is, the price offered by the flour mills will not be too high.

The biggest advantage of Franz's estate is that it is close to Vienna, but when there is a possibility of a rebellion at any time, this becomes a disadvantage, and if it is not good, it will be plagued by chaos.

At this time, hoarding a large amount of food, that is, taking risks, even if you know that the Hungarian revolution will break out next year, Austria's food prices will skyrocket, and he can only sell it.

In the game between the capitalists and the government, the high price of the speculation did come quickly. Unfortunately, Franz's identity was destined that he could not play, otherwise the nobles would follow the example, and the Metternich prime minister would not be able to stand up.
