At the end of the day, Franz did not go further into the topic.

The capitalists are not easy to mess with, and even if they do not yet dominate the government, their power should not be underestimated.

Standing in Franz's position, it is okay to ask questions, but if he wants to charge into battle for the interests of the working class, and resist the bourgeoisie, forget it!

Franz had decided to hand over this great and arduous task to the conservatives of the aristocratic class, and Prime Minister Metternich was one of the candidates.

Perhaps one day, the capitalists are demanding the opening of suffrage, the implementation of constitutional government, and the emancipation of serfs; The aristocracy demanded a labor protection law to protect the rights and interests of the working class.

However, after these two groups shouted the slogan, the Austrian people were probably dumbfounded.

This is also determined by the actual situation in Austria, where the aristocracy is still in the feudal class, and there is a natural conflict of interest with the capitalists, and the two sides have not yet had time to merge.

If by the beginning of the 20th century, the aristocracy and the capitalists had formed interest groups, there would really be no way to do it by political means except to tear down and rebuild.

In addition to fanning the flames in front of Metternich, Franz had other preparations, and he did not think that his words would be able to impress the old fox Metternich.

Don't look at their relationship very well, but in politics, everyone never looks at friendship.

While chatting, Franz also obtained the qualification to run a newspaper, which was a system of censorship in the Austrian Empire until the March Revolution of 1848.

By the time of the Vienna Revolution in March 1848, there were 79 newspapers in Austria. This is a newspaper, not a newspaper!

Considering that a newspaper can publish several newspapers at the same time, then the number of newspapers will only be less.

Looking at this set of data, you can see how difficult it is to run a newspaper in this era.

However, this was not a problem for Franz, and the control of books and newspapers was to curb the spread of revolutionary ideas, and everyone could support the revolutionary party, but he, the heir to the throne, could not support the revolutionary party to reform his own life.

Franz was still very morally cultivated, anxious about the people's anxieties, worried about the people's worries, so his newspaper was called "We want bread, we want cheese".

The definition of this newspaper is exactly the same as the name, and for the safety of the newspaper, he decided to put the newspaper in front of the police station.

In this era, it was also very troublesome to open a newspaper, even if Franz could omit the most cumbersome procedures, but the labor and space always needed to be found by himself.

The most important thing is the newspaper editors and reporters, these people must have enthusiasm and dare to face this cruel society, and they must not be too enthusiastic and forget who they eat.

The country is unfortunate and poetic, and it is endowed with vicissitudes of life.

This sentence is still very reasonable, and in the mid-19th century, a large number of literati and artists also emerged in Austria, some of whom insisted on creating, and some of them changed their course to play politics.

In any case, the propaganda skills of the pen stickers are not comparable to those of the aristocracy.

For example, the lawyer-turned-Hungarian politician Kossuth was a propagandist who kicked off Hungary's independence in 1847 and became the head of the Hungarian Republic for a time.

Of course, he also had the common problem of being an idealist in the literati, and his plans were often divorced from the actual situation, and the uprising was naturally suppressed.

Franz had no interest in Kossuth, and no matter how good his propaganda skills were, he could not stand up to him as an ultra-nationalist.

The two sides are naturally opposed, and of course if they want to buy it, they may not be able to succeed, but Franz has no interest in it.

In his concept of employment, the importance of loyalty far exceeds ability, and the lowest bottom line of employment must also ensure that it is not an enemy.

After pondering for a moment, Franz wrote a few names on the scraps of paper, and then instructed: "Raul, send someone to check the list of these people, and if there is no problem, send them an invitation in the name of the newspaper!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Raul, the attendant, hurriedly said

It is not easy to recruit people in this era, universities are still ivory towers, there are no ordinary people in them, and the parents with the lowest status are also small capitalists.

The so-called inspirational stories are all used to deceive people, and the high tuition fees are simply not something that work-study can make up.

The literati and writers in society are not as depressed as everyone imagines, of course, there are exceptions in the family road.

If you want to recruit people, you either hang a billboard in a crowded place, or place an advertisement in a newspaper, or more through acquaintances.

According to acquaintances, this is definitely not suitable for Franz, the people he comes into contact with are not so down-and-out, dragons do not live with snakes, and naturally they will not know those ordinary workers.

But this is not in a hurry, it is still very easy to recruit ordinary workers, compared to other industries, working in a newspaper is still a very decent job, and I am not afraid that no one will come to respond to it.

On the contrary, it takes time to recruit reporters and editors, and the people invited by Franz are all well-known literati and writers in society today.

It doesn't matter if they come here or not, it's just telling them that there is now another newspaper in Austria, and they also have an extra place to publish articles and earn manuscript fees.

He didn't show up the whole time, although many people will know him as the behind-the-scenes boss of the newspaper.

If it weren't for the economic problems, Franz would not mind opening dozens of newspapers at once and fighting for the dominance of public opinion.

Considering the problem of return on investment, Franz decisively instigated to grasp the usual guidance of a newspaper and bring rhythm when needed.

Austria's reforms have been underway for many years, and the current Chancellor, Clemens Metternich, was once a leading figure in the reformist movement.

It's just that now he is no longer a human being inside and out, and the domestic bourgeoisie dislikes that his reforms are not strong enough to satisfy their interests in full.

The aristocratic conservatives, who also rejected him as prime minister, advocated the emancipation of serfs to the detriment of the interests of the aristocracy as a representative of the aristocratic interests.

Even the Vienna court, in fact, did not like him as a reformist prime minister, for a very simple reason, the slogans were shouted for too long, and the reforms did not see results.

Franz is probably the most understanding of him in his time, and in the figurative words: the Austrian Empire was like a moth-eaten house, and if one part of it was moved, no one knew how much it would collapse.

Out of prudence and responsibility, Metternich was very careful in carrying out reforms, lest one of them fail to do so.

Naturally, this kind of reform will not succeed, and how can it succeed without bloodshed?
