Metternich's proposal was tantamount to not being heard, except for his supporters.

At this time, the abolition of serfdom was also risky, and if the operation was not good, the local aristocracy would rise up.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to cut other people's flesh, but it is difficult to cut your own.

Moreover, in order to restore confidence in the market, it is not enough to abolish serfdom, but also to abolish a series of privileges of the aristocratic class, and I am afraid that in the end even the land will have to be divided, otherwise where will the purchasing power of the serfs come from?

Only by abolishing this series of restrictive conditions that are not conducive to economic development, further reducing the cost of commodity circulation, and freeing up a larger market can we extricate ourselves from the economic crisis.

Such a big concession, I am afraid that even if a few of them agree, it will have no effect, and it is impossible for the aristocratic class to agree.

The abolition of serfdom can be discussed, but if you want to divide their land, don't think about it, of course, when the money is sufficient, it is not negotiable.

It's okay to abolish the privileges of the nobility, but it takes time to do it step by step, and it takes a lot of time to fall down one at a time.

Unless the productive forces are further developed, the government pays for the redemption of land. It is impossible to use force, and as long as the army is still in the hands of the nobility, it is impossible to use coercive means.

Naturally, Metternich did not dare to use these radical means, and at most he could only abolish serfdom and liberate the productive forces of the people.

"Your Excellency, if we announce the abolition of serfdom now, perhaps tomorrow you will receive news of Hungary's independence!"

Archduke Louis said very shamelessly that the abolitionist movement insisted on by Metternich was still fruitful, and by 1848 many Austrian nobles had freed serfs.

However, this was confined to the heart of Austria, where the Viennese government had strict local control, and after the abolition of slavery was issued, the government did a great deal of work for the aristocracy.

This was also the reason why Metternich was not popular, because of his reputation, many Austrian nobles, including the royal family, freed serfs.

The local aristocracy, who were all emperors of the soil, often used the orders of the central government as toilet paper, and the Vienna government did not have the determination to carry them out.

Even Prime Minister Metternich often used the abolition of serfdom to intimidate the Hungarian aristocracy and force them to make political concessions.

The abolition of serfdom at this time would indeed satisfy the bourgeoisie, but the Hungarians were about to rebel, and rebellions were likely to occur in other regions.

The government paid to compensate the nobles for their losses, and it was not even a matter of even thinking that at this time the finances of the Austrian central government could only be level, and even if there was a surplus, it went into the pockets of the bureaucrats.

"Two, we can discuss this issue later, let's solve the urgent need first, if we don't take action, it's too late!" Franz Anton von Kololat-Libstinsky interrupted the dispute between the two

The Austrian Regency Council consisted of four people: Metternich, Archduke Louis, Archduke Franz-Karl, and Cololath, but Archduke Franz-Karl had not the slightest political ambition. (Mainly born defects, inability to participate)

Politically, Collorat and Metternich are rivals, but it is not that the rivals cannot cooperate, and many times their political views remain the same.

Even if it is for the sake of opposition, the struggle has not reached the point of life and death, for example, now he and Prime Minister Metternich are very close in political views.

However, as a political opponent, don't expect him to help Metternich, not causing trouble for him is the biggest help.

Seeing that even Archduke Louis couldn't convince him, Metternich could only sigh helplessly.

"I don't agree with anyone, let alone the local aristocracy?"

As soon as the abolition of serfdom led to a local rebellion, it would be a big problem.

Metternich alone cannot bear such a political disaster, and at least the Regency Committee needs to fight it together to get through it.

"Okay, then let's arrest people first!"

Metternich was in a very uncomfortable mood when he made this reluctant decision, and he knew that the capitalists had no way to retreat on their own.

If the economic crisis cannot be solved, then they will go bankrupt, and in order to avoid bankruptcy, the only way to avoid bankruptcy is to break the current social order.

Colleagues in France have set an example by crushing the crisis with a revolution and untying the shackles that constrain the economic development of the bourgeoisie.

For example, if you take advantage of the revolution and directly revolutionize the bankers, the debt will naturally disappear.

Without debt, everyone is naturally not afraid of hoarding goods, and it is a big deal to sell slowly, and without the bank to collect loans, everyone will not go bankrupt.

Or even go a step further and simply let the government pay for them, pay for these goods, and pass on the crisis to the government.

The American counterpart has done so, and of course they have gone further, not directly paying for the purchase of supplies, but using the money to save the world.

The broken capital chain is connected, the economic crisis time is delayed, everyone has time to retreat, and the last unlucky one is the receiver.

Austria has not yet evolved to that point, and before serfdom is unraveled, they can't find a pick-up man, the working class is too exploited by them, and they are not qualified to connect the plate.

The stock market in Vienna is now only a game for the rich, and the poor are not even qualified to open an account.

In this era, the stock market trading is all manual operation, and the labor cost is also very high.

……

Following an order from the Vienna government, the secret police were dispatched overnight to arrest the organizers of the demonstrations.

Obviously, this is not the right decision, and the organizers who are pushed to the surface today are actually just some small pawns, and the bigwigs will not charge into battle.

The easiest to find is the student representatives, anyway, there are so many universities in Vienna, the location is very clear, but unfortunately no one wants to do this errand.

The University of Vienna was not easy to enter, as a concentration camp for anti-government forces, most of the secondary two teenagers were opposition to the government, and the rest were also aristocratic reformers.

Now Sheriff Winston has a headache, the suspect is inside the school, and they can't even get through the gate. There is no doubt that the university is resisting government enforcement.

It's just that the influence of the university is too great, and the impact of violence rushing into it is too bad. There are no ordinary teachers and students inside, and the lowest ones are also small businessmen, lawyers, and doctors.

The working class is poor and can't afford to pay the tuition, not to mention the peasants, and now the vast majority of them are still serfs.
