MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 23 The Dragon Who Seeks the Tiger's Skin

【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】

"Nana is so young!" Little Maria replied, and although Franz himself was only 10 years old, it was clear that she and his innocent sister were not on the same mind.

Madam Sophie looked at Franz suspiciously and said.

"Nai Nai is very beautiful and well-behaved, but it's a pity that her background is not very good."

It can be seen that Mrs. Sophie still cares more about this niece, just like her poor mother Mrs. Ludvika Sophie's sister.

"...Mother, don't talk about this, I have one thing to ask you." Franz can only rely on Mrs. Sophie now. After all, it is unrealistic to go to the North Pole to find Grand Duke Franz Karl. .

"Some Hungarian nobles are seeking cooperation, but with the efficiency of the Regency Council, it may be difficult to satisfy them."

"Just say what you want to say, don't go around the corner." Mrs. Sophie's expression was a little impatient. She didn't like those Hungarian nobles very much. To be precise, she rarely looked at others except the royal family.

"I think we can cooperate with them and develop Hungarian land together."

Mrs. Sophie has long been familiar with her son's behavior of seeking skin from a tiger.

"Frantz, why are you buying so much wasteland? Don't you think you don't have enough land now? You know, if you count it by area, you are already the largest landowner in the empire."

Mrs. Sophie really couldn't understand the significance of Franz buying so much land. In her mind, wasteland was land of no value, and the development cost was too high.

But what she didn't know was that those swamps were actually not difficult to deal with. As long as there were a few water pumps to drain the muddy water inside, the first step would be solved. After all, machinery is much more efficient than manpower. .

In addition, under the guidance of Franz, the disc plow came out in advance, so that farming on those sticky black soils was much easier than before.

Although the many difficulties in land reclamation in Tania were not considered problems in Franz's eyes, they were almost fatal to ordinary farmers and small and medium-sized landowners.

For the big aristocrats and big landlords in the usual sense, it is not a good deal to open up wasteland. However, they are likely to get themselves into trouble because of market fluctuations.

In fact, it’s their own fault as well. Who told them to set tariffs domestically and refuse to build railways, resulting in the production of high-cost products that cannot be shipped out through effective channels. Therefore, it is natural to expand production under such circumstances. Meaningless.

Back to the topic, the ultimate goal of Franz buying land is to support the people with the land. By directly investing in the royal manor and setting up factories, and then selling the products directly to the locals, he can avoid the Hungarian customs duties, but it is also It will greatly arouse the resentment of the local nobles.

"Mother, what's wrong with this? If we can buy Hungary step by step through such peaceful means, don't we need to fight with the Magyars all day long?" Franz said.

"Are you kidding! 8 million hectares, isn't that 120 million mu?" Mrs. Sophie couldn't believe it.

"It doesn't need that much. That's the total area of ​​arable land. In fact, it is absolutely impossible to develop all of it. According to my estimation, the area of ​​land that can be developed should stay at about six million hectares."

"But what's the use of having so much land? Now all the food in Hungary is sold as fodder, and you grow cash crops such as rape, sugar beet, and flax on the manor. But the Hungarian market is too small. It will soon be saturated."

Franz stared at Mrs. Sophie with wide eyes. It's unbelievable that even this woman who has been losing money in business can see the crux of Hungary. I really don't know what those adults are thinking.

"Mother, why are you so smart that you put 100,000 hats on the market at once?"

Before, Mrs. Sophie built a hat factory and produced 100,000 hats in one go, and then put all of them into the market in Vienna. As a result, not only did he lose money, but he also squeezed the entire hat market in Vienna by the way.

Madame Sophie paid no attention to Franz's sarcasm.

"Failure is the mother of success! Without my failure, there would be no success for you. Are you right, Franz."

Madam Sophie pinched Franz's arm and said word by word, while Maria, who was watching the fun, also took the opportunity to jump on him to make trouble.

"Mother, you are always right."

Franz still understands the truth that a hero does not suffer from immediate losses. What's more, at this time, he still needs Madam Sophie to come forward to establish a cooperative relationship with the pro-Austrian faction among the Hungarian nobles.

The way of cooperation is simple and clear. They will go out of the land, and then the royal family will come forward to classify it as the royal territory, and then attract immigrants to develop it. After deducting the cost, the income will be 28%.

Prince Elthhazi was very satisfied with getting 20% ​​of the proceeds. After all, as one of the most influential nobles in Hungary, he has countless ways to buy wasteland at extremely low prices.

And as long as the Habsburg family still rules Austria, he can lie down and get money every year. This kind of good thing can only happen once in hundreds of years.

The reason why Franz gave these guys 20% of the proceeds was not because they had made much contribution. There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to firmly tie it to the Austrian tank.

Any promise is not as convincing and sincere as actual interests.

This bond of interest will make them the most loyal supporters of the Austrian Empire, of course there is a premise, UU reading www.uukanshu. com That is the problem of development that Franz wants to solve. As long as the benefits are big enough, they will fight even if they want to be smashed to pieces.

Most of the nobles are very happy to be bound to the interests of the royal family.

Of course there are exceptions, and that is Count Szechenyi. I have to say that his character is indeed very noble, others are here to hedge their bets, only he is here to prevent the war.

Franz took a special look at his works and found that the old man, like Hugo, believed too much in the power of morality.

In fact, they still don't understand one thing, morality is just a social ideology, it is the norms and norms of people's common life and behavior. Different eras and different classes have different moral concepts, and no morality is eternal.

Even in the ancient East, Dao and De were originally separate.

Lao Tzu said: "Tao produces it, virtue breeds it, things form it, and force makes it. Therefore, all things respect the Tao and value virtue. The Tao is respected, the virtue is precious, and the life of the husband is always natural."

Among them, "Tao" refers to the common truth of natural operation and the world; and "De" now refers to the virtue, conduct, and kingly way of the world. However, the original meaning of virtue is something that follows the laws of Tao to develop and change itself.

Szechenyi hoped that the wealthy nobles and businessmen would lend money to the poor serfs and help them wholeheartedly, so that "everyone in Hungary is like a dragon".

This kind of thinking is of course unrealistic, so Franz is going to introduce him to the road that the Russians took later... .
