MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 19 Trip to Austria (Part 1)
Fall in Love with You Read Books, War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny
Silesia, Katowice city.
The off-door house of Master Philpot's was still full of people.
"Damn it! It's terrible. At least half an ingot of thread was left on the spool by you. Useless things, this kind of defective products, do you want to exchange them for money?"
Bent Jung threw the linen into the man's arms, and the other weavers could only watch silently, waiting for the man in front of them to pronounce their fate.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, it was Master Philpot who came in person. Bent knew why the boss came here. The quality of linen has been declining year after year, coupled with the impact of cotton and the squeeze from the government, people in this industry are a little breathless.
"Mr. Philpot, I didn't expect you to come here!"
When all the weavers and employees saw the young man in the white suit, they showed a flattering and pious look, just like meeting a bishop in a church or an emperor in a palace.
Philpter was very satisfied with the attitude of these "untouchables", he looked at Bent and waved.
The other party understood immediately and yelled at the weavers.
"Damn things without eyes! What are you doing here!"
The apprentices also waved their wooden rulers, trying to disperse the crowd.
"My kind Mr. Philpot, please give me a few coppers."
Philpter took out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and covered his mouth and nose, fearing that he would breathe the same gas as those civilians. The bodyguards around him immediately stepped forward to drive the beggars out of the house.
He spoke only after the maids had sprayed their perfume.
"Bent, how about this year's goods?"
"Master, don't worry! This year's goods will be handed in in full!" Bent lowered his waist and said with a flattering smile.
Philpot frowned. Since the Saxons replaced the new looms in Austria, the quantity of products has been increasing. Not only have they grabbed business from Prussia everywhere, but now they even sell the goods to Prussia itself.
Now his profits are not as good as each year, but due to the conflicts between countries, the Prussian government opposes businessmen buying Austrian looms, while British looms are too expensive and difficult to maintain.
"How's the quality?" Philpot asked. At this time, the only advantage of human weaving over machinery is that it is of higher quality and more varied patterns.
"Sir... As you know, the rate of defective products in recent years has been surprisingly high. It's the same this year. Those lazy guys, it's too easy to make money, so they don't want to work hard."
Bent's words made Philpter furious, and he said immediately.
"Reduce the price by one more layer, and third-class products will also be treated as defective products. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir, I know what to do."
In fact, due to the rise of large-scale mechanical weaving, the market for human weaving is shrinking. Unless it is handmade fabrics with unique patterns, it is difficult to compete with overproduced cotton in the market.
However, as the purchase price has been reduced year after year, weavers are unwilling to spend time and energy on developing new styles and improving quality.
The decline in quality further led to the shrinking of the market. In the end, merchants could only transform into the cotton textile industry, or spend money to buy linen textile machines.
But at this time, cotton cloth has already occupied a large market share by virtue of its low price, and it is impossible for linen cloth to restore the glory of the year.
So ruthless squeezing has become the last trick of this industry, but the workers are like the water in the sponge, which has always been dry sooner or later.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
On the other hand, Evra and her husband sold their house and loom in order to raise enough tickets for five people.
Someone who is proficient in geography may ask here, there is only one Oder River between Upper Silesia and Lower Silesia, why don't you want to swim to the other side?
Mainly due to the long-standing conflict of beliefs, the relationship between the two parties is very poor, and they often even shoot across the river. The population of Upper Silesia is mainly Protestants, of which Germans make up the majority, and there are many Czech Protestants who were persecuted in Austria and fled here.
Lower Silesia is mainly Catholic, of which Germans make up the majority, and the rest are Polish Catholics who were persecuted from Prussia and fled to Austria.
The hatred between the two parties cannot be explained in one or two sentences, so the Evra family can only choose to take a detour.
At that time, the internal structure and facilities of the train carriages were shabby, and the family could only sit in the corner with their luggage in their arms. The train carriages in Prussia don't even have roofs, and passengers can only use their carry-on clothes as a cover in rainy and snowy weather.
After entering the Dresden station and changing trains, the Evra family finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Austrian train finally had a roof, but there were still no seats inside the carriages. And it is obviously more bumpy. One is that the trains in Austria are fast, and the other is that the terrain in the Austrian Empire is more complicated than that of Prussia.
The family was talking and laughing at first, but when they were about to arrive in Austria, the adults' faces became serious, perhaps because of the pressure and anxiety brought about by resettling in a strange place, even their own children could feel the same. From the expressions of the parents, I vaguely realized the seriousness of the matter.
Suddenly, Evra felt nauseous and dizzy. She stood up hurriedly and wanted to run to the entrance of the carriage to vomit again, but it was too late.
The flight attendant who heard the voice picked up the stick and rolled up his sleeves, cursing continuously.
"Damn it, what drunk man was excreting your disgusting bile in my car! Hurry up and hand over 5 Kroinz! Or I'll make you eat that lump back in your stomach, and then mine Lick the carriage clean!"
Xiong Zhuang's flight attendant came over, and the passengers in the car all moved out of the way without wanting to get into trouble.
Evra's husband wanted to protect his wife and stood in front of the flight attendant, but the other party grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up like a chick. Before he could speak, a stick fell **** his chest. Broken leg.
Just as the flight attendant was about to continue beating the man ~www.novelbuddy.com~ the two-year-old daughter Ellie hugged his thigh.
"Uncle, don't hit me. The person who vomited on the ground is not my father, but my mother."
After listening to the flight, the flight attendant and the surrounding passengers had complex expressions on their faces, but he did not choose to continue the violence because it was related to Austrian law. The former Empress Teresa liked children very much, so she formulated a lot of policies and regulations to protect children.
If the strong flight attendant continues to turn a blind eye and abuse the girl's parents, he will most likely lose his job after getting off the bus, and spend three months in prison. The sentence may also be doubled.
If you ask why the flight attendant is so rude? In fact, at that time, only the people in the first and second class car could enjoy the courtesy, while the passengers in the third class car and the fourth class car were all low class people. Because of the difference in status and social status, they could only enjoy the service like a bully. Personnel harassment, even beatings and extortion are commonplace.
"It's unlucky, **** lame, you're lucky today, get lost!"
Then the tall flight attendant picked up the mop and began to clean up the dirt. Franz has made strict regulations on the hygiene maintenance work on the train. After all, with the increase of crowd flow, the scope and ways of virus transmission have become wider.
Especially on such a densely populated train, if the virus spreads, it is very likely to cause a large-scale epidemic.
Soon the train entered the newly completed "United Forces" railway station in Vienna. There were special people on the platform holding signs to guide these immigrants from the German region to a special management center for registration.
