In order to see the excitement and not think it was a big deal, Franz went to visit another Conservative bigwig, the Earl of Koroft, and expressed his concern about the current situation.

Everyone is well-informed, and what role Franz played in this political conflict is not a secret at all in the upper echelons of government.

However, everyone is disciplined, Franz's background is destined to be his own people, at least in the face of the bourgeois revolution, everyone is in the same boat, naturally no one will leak the news.

Of course, even if someone leaks the news, it is useless, the contradiction between the aristocratic class and the bourgeoisie can no longer be eased, what should be done or what should be done!

Let the aristocracy give up suppressing the bourgeoisie? Or let the bourgeoisie give up the seizure of power?

At this time, no one can make concessions, and they dare not make concessions. Now taking a step back is not the sea and the sky, but the abyss.

I have to say that there are small advantages to being young, otherwise now Franz would have to go straight to the front desk.

Of course, it is more that the Regency Committee does not want to give up the power in their hands so early, and they have to carry this black cauldron.

It is also possible to let Franz come out and fight the bourgeoisie, and the consequence is that he, the crown prince, will become regent in advance, and the regency commissioner will become history.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Metternich had a hard time, representing the interests of the aristocratic class as a reformer, and he did not seem to be very harmonious.

Originally, the two factions in Austria fought to the death, Franz stirred up again, and now the good conservatives have also played reform.

In the past, people always talked about serfdom, and criticized the conservatives for hindering Austria's progress, depriving the serfs of their personal freedom, and brutally oppressing them.

Now that the aristocracy began to fight back, comparing the lives of workers and serfs, everyone suddenly realized that there was something even worse.

No matter how mad the nobles were, it was impossible for them to make the serfs work fifteen or sixteen hours a day.

In this era, the lighting fee was not cheap, the capitalists made money by letting the workers work night shifts, and the nobles would lose money if they let the serfs work night shifts.

Needless to say, the life of both workers and serfs is the same - bitterness!

It's just that relatively speaking, the workers of this era are more miserable, the factory is like a prison, once you get in, it is difficult to get out, and the slightest mistake is a beating.

If you have a good salary, whether you can get it or not, it all depends on the discipline of the capitalists, and if you meet someone whose conscience is not dead, you can take a little, and if you meet a ruthless person, you can still owe him a debt for a few years.

The problem of difficulty in obtaining wages, not to mention in this era, even in the 21st century, has not been solved in many regions.

Happiness is a contrast, and so is pain.

Under the manipulation of the aristocracy, the working class suddenly felt that they were the most miserable, and at this time the government wanted to formulate the "Labor Protection Fee", which must be supported!

The so-called constitutional reform, popular elections, and the abolition of serfdom can all be postponed indefinitely.

The bourgeoisie is also not a soft persimmon, it is a matter of its own interests, it will not give an inch, and the patriotic festival has long been eaten by dogs at this time.

Prime Minister Metternich, who is caught in the middle, has a headache, and this diplomatic strongman is powerless in the face of internal contradictions.

As with the previous reforms to abolish serfdom, he is still negotiating with the representatives of the bourgeoisie in an attempt to gain their understanding and to formulate an answer acceptable to all.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I would like to know when the Labour Protection Act will come out?" Count Collot asked indifferently

As Prime Minister Metternich's political enemy, how could he not do something at this time? Even without Franz's hints, he would have taken action, but now his purpose is clearer.

"Count Collot, the formulation of any law will take a period of time, we will conduct actual research, and then conduct a comprehensive analysis, you should wait patiently!" Metternich said dismissively

When dealing with political enemies, he is too lazy to be polite, anyway, no matter how nice he says, everyone is an enemy.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I can wait, but the workers outside can't, you must know that every day in Austria hundreds of workers die because of the unscrupulous exploitation of the capitalists!

Don't they call themselves patriots? It is immoral to accuse us of depriving our serfs of their freedom every day, and what are they doing now?

Aren't the workers Austrian citizens? You must know that the vast majority of these workers are serfs we have freed, and the emancipation of serfs not only did not make their lives better, but plunged into another abyss!

This abyss is even more terrible, he wants to swallow it all, and finally destroy the whole of Austria! Count Kollot pointed at Prime Minister Metternich and roared

The purpose of emancipating the serfs was to give the serfs a better life, but now the result is the opposite, too much evidence that their lives have become worse.

This was a severe blow to Metternich's advocacy of the abolition of serfdom, and his previous work had to be halted until the problem was resolved.

But to solve this problem would mean that he would have to break with the bourgeoisie that supported the abolition of serfdom, and even beat the bourgeoisie to its knees.

The reformers in the country now, most of whom are bourgeois, will shake his position as prime minister unless he moves towards the aristocracy in all its aspects.

Well, Prime Minister Metternich himself is a representative of the great aristocracy, he has always stood with the aristocracy, except for the abolitionist movement, he does not exclude compromising with the aristocratic class again, the problem is that there is also an article on this side.

He can't be forced to take sides, it's a matter of future dominance. Metternich also wanted to be the leader of the aristocratic class, not to become an agent of the aristocratic class's support.

"All right, Count Koroft. The government will give an answer to this question as soon as possible, and you can go back and wait for news! Metternich said with a frown

"I hope so, otherwise our Prime Minister will be a disappointment!" Earl Collot said in a strange way

After sending off Count Kolovt, Prime Minister Metternich's face instantly became gloomy, and he was forced to be forced into the palace, so it is no wonder that he can be in a good mood.

After pondering for a moment, Metternich slapped the table and said to himself: "Just such a trick, I want to seize power, and Koroft seems to be really old!" ”

He said this as if he were very young, but in fact Metternich, who was born in 1773, was also 74 years old.
