At the Vienna Palace, looking at the content of the newspapers, Franz knew that the European grandmother would not exist, or that it would not be Queen Victoria.

It is estimated that for a long time in the future, the British royal family will take care of itself. If a political crisis does not break out, it will be difficult to get a political marriage.

In order to make the news published in the French newspapers more like an accidental discovery, Franz naturally could not explain the transmission of the "royal disease".

The "royal disease" has been rampant for a short time, and according to the medical records that have appeared so far, it can only be proved that the patients are of Queen Victorian blood.

Many royal families in Europe have difficult heirs, and for the sake of safety, everyone naturally stays away from Queen Victoria's descendants. Even if it's low, it's better than the heir.

After some schadenfreude, Franz ignored it. At such times, the more you do it, the easier it is to show your feet, and Franz never dared to underestimate the power of a country.

……

Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria hasn't had such a gaffe in many years. Even after several defeats in foreign wars, she was able to restrain her emotions.

Now it's still a failure. In this society with a strong religious atmosphere, the lethality of the "curse" is too great. With this name, no one will be able to sit still.

Mainstream newspapers also know restraint and do not have much radical content, and under the public relations of the London government, many newspapers also publish news about medical experts refuting rumors.

Street tabloids are different, they are as attractive as they are.

From a medical point of view, how can it be compared to "curse" to attract attention?

Many newspapers directly linked Queen Victoria and witches together and arranged a series of news.

Explanations don't help, and the people love to watch this kind of witch news the most, especially when it comes to the Queen.

The newspapers in Britain may not dare to go too far, but the newspapers in continental Europe are not under pressure.

"The Story of the Queen and the Witch Who Had to Tell", "The Witch's Curse", "God's Punishment", ......

All sorts of appalling headlines were published in the newspapers of continental Europe. As the saying goes, the law is not to blame the public, everyone has published it, and the British want to retaliate, but they have no way to start.

In terms of ideas, France has always been at the forefront of Europe. Coupled with the contradictions between Britain and France, the black British have always been the long-term work of the French media.

Whether it is true or not, public opinion directly attributes the "royal disease" to a "curse". Accusing the British of doing too many bad things, the royal family was cursed for it.

Including the Austrian media, they were not idle, and like most of the people who eat melons, they joined the discussion.

Don't think about good words, the British are so hated that they don't even have a good reputation with the royal family. This newspaper that does not fall into the ground, it is all paid.

The Vienna Palace, under the wave of disturbing public opinion, decided the future economic conference of Austria, quietly began.

Prime Minister Felix: "So far, more than 98 percent of the farmers in the country who have applied for land redemption have paid off the land redemption money.

In recent years, the domestic market has been expanding, largely due to the expansion of the rural market, which has stimulated industrial production.

However, this wave of dividends is now coming to an end. From now on, the growth rate of the domestic market will gradually slow down.

If domestic enterprises cannot keep up with the pace of the times and actively expand overseas markets, they will face the fate of elimination in the new round of competition.

From the perspective of development, the domestic economy is about to enter a new stage. Domestic industrial production technology, on the whole, is no weaker than that of any country.

Continuing to protect the local market will no longer stimulate economic development, but will only make our enterprises unhappy in their comfort zone.

According to Liszt's theory of national economics, we have now reached the third stage of economic development, opening up the market, meeting challenges, and opening up the era of free trade. ”

Until then, Austria had been a protectionist. Relying on the local and colonial markets, Austria's industrial revolution was completed.

Today, Austria is the world's largest industrial country and has enough confidence to participate in international competition.

It is obvious that the continuation of the trade protection policy is no longer appropriate, and a new round of economic reform is imperative.

"Isn't it too early to implement a free trade policy? Many domestic companies have not had time to change their mindsets, and we should give them more time. Toforx, the representative of the Kingdom of Lombardy, objected

There is no way, compared to the rest of Austria, the pillar industries of the Kingdom of Lombardy are concentrated in light industry, which is dominated by cotton textile and raw silk industry, and even some handicraft industries.

Compared to other industries, once they enter the era of free trade, they are the hardest hit. The cotton textile industry, in particular, was the core pillar of the British.

Austria's advantages are mainly concentrated in emerging industries, and traditional industries do not have obvious advantages compared with the British, and are even at a disadvantage.

Most of the enterprises that do not want to make progress are concentrated in traditional industries. The essence is: you can make money without working hard, so why do you need to carry out technological innovation?

This is not what Franz wants to see, the survival of the fittest in the market is inevitable. Enterprises that can't see the progress of the times and just want to make money lying down are destined to be eliminated.

Prime Minister Felix's face sank: "Give them time, do we give less time to enterprises?"

As early as 1865, the central government issued a proclamation, advising enterprises to continue to reform and innovate to keep up with the pace of the times.

In 1870, the central government issued another warning to domestic companies to improve their competitiveness.

But after so many years, what has happened?

On the one hand, they are clamoring for the government not to intervene in the market, and on the other hand, they are asking the government to implement trade protectionism.

Could it be that our domestic enterprises have degenerated to this point, relying on dead skin to survive?

The government gives time to businesses, but who gives time to the state?

With such fierce international competition, national development is like sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat.

Rather than spending energy on these waste companies that are not trying to make progress, we should focus on supporting more dynamic new industries.

Market competition is becoming more and more cruel, which is the inevitable law of human development, if enterprises can not withstand the challenge, then it is better to close the door as soon as possible, so as not to waste social resources. ”

Opening up the market and entering the era of free trade economy is both a challenge and an opportunity.

The problems faced by the Kingdom of Lombardy are not unique, and many companies in Austria have similar problems. These companies are afraid to face international competition and become an obstacle to free trade.

However, with the rise of emerging industries, they occupy an increasing proportion of the national economy, and the call for free trade is getting higher and higher.

By this time, Austria's pro-free trade voices had trumped protectionism, and the Vienna government decided to carry out economic reforms when the time was ripe for reform.

Toforks wanted to speak and stopped, he was still disciplined, and it was impossible for him to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

Even if he was the representative of the Lombard kingdom and himself stood on the side of the government, it would be impossible for him to blindly speak for the capitalists.

Now it is only a high-level economic meeting, and the representatives of the capitalists are not yet qualified to enter here, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

Once the implementation phase is reached, it is estimated that when the discussion is expanded, it will be lively.

Franz was sure that as soon as the conference on expanding the economic crisis began, there would be a lot of conflict between those who were in favor of free trade and those who were against free trade, and perhaps there would be an all-out military act.

And that's nothing, at meetings organized by the government, the capitalists will more or less rein in a little. The people's verbal battle is the time when the bayonets on both sides are red.

Knowing is knowing, but Franz will not interfere. Dividing the bourgeoisie has always been his established national policy. As long as the bourgeoisie is not monolithic, imperial power is consolidated.

So far, it's going very well. Because of the relationship of interests, there are often contradictions between capitalists in emerging industries and capitalists in traditional industries, and this economic reform is only a microcosm.
