PS: Thank you to everyone who voted: Thank you Fengdao Shuangjian, herry798, hg0202.

In the last book, it was mentioned that the little devil Louisa gave his grandfather the entire biographical story, beautifying it like a photo album.

Karl was not far behind. According to the document that the old fox Rui gave, he arranged for the anti-Austrian leader, the right-hand man of the Virgil family, and the Valentine family, to arrange a realistic novel, similar to the content of Pravda.

A month later, the Valentine family’s novel was published, um, no ISBN, but it sold very well.

Probably the content is as follows:

The Valentine family, in order to lick the Virgil family and get a certain business, they gave their eldest son to the Virgil family to be someone’s, um, that, you know.

The eldest son of the Virgil family, this person is a eccentric person. After trying Valentine’s eldest son’s chrysanthemum, he is very satisfied. The two share the same car when they go out and the same room when they enter.

The eldest son of the Virgil family, although a patient with eccentricity, he values ​​love and righteousness. When he takes over the position of the patriarch, he also brings his friend, the patriarch of the Valentine family, to develop together.

As for the Valentin family, they became aristocrats by selling their farts, from only a good pair of skins to an old skin, and a family with economic strength to increase muscle dozens of times.

The two cooperated with all their strength, and they worked together to make a fool of themselves, playing the entire Italian economy in the palm of their hands.

When Napoleon, the devil of chaos, came over, the Virgil family sent people from the Valentin family to contact Napoleon, um, actually, you know, not much to say, he soon became Napoleon’s guest of honor, and Italian.

When Napoleon was defeated, they took back all the interests that were sold to Napoleon, and also took the properties of other nobles slaughtered by Napoleon.

Specifically, how they always operate and how to fool the Italian people, they are all vividly written.

So everyone said with half contempt and half envy, I also want a good pair of skins, and I can pout my **** too.

Carl is very satisfied with this. Ordinary people, don’t they just like bad things?

If you tell him serious things, he can fall asleep, and he will fall asleep; if you tell him the next three ways, he can explode with excitement.

At the same time, in Tuscany, a biography of Leopold II was also published. This is the base of the old emperor. Many people still miss Emperor Leopold II, not the current Leopold. Duke II.

Although the title is the same, the current one is the grandson of the previous one.

The grandson of Leopold II was so furious that he dropped several cups, but he couldn’t say anything clearly. After all, he was his grandfather.

The reason why he is so angry is because the book vaguely points out that the current Leopold II is an extremely chicken thief.

This kind of person, even the Italian nobles can’t look down on him, so everyone is saying that this Leopold II is simply a twenty-five boy.

Why do Italians look down on him, because his behavior is inappropriate. He belongs to the Austrian Empire and should contribute to the empire. Although Italy will resist your suppression, understand that this is your responsibility.

But you are disobedient to the Austrian Empire, and that is so disappointing.

You, Archduke Leopold II, do not deserve to be the grandson of that Emperor Leopold II.

Not to mention the entanglement of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, return to Venice.

“Everyone, let’s talk about it, the railway at the southern foot of the Alps.”

Old Ruina sat high in front of the stage, and his attendant took out the following proposal and informed the members present, asking them to discuss how to implement it.

“I think that the construction of railways is also to build Milan and Venice first, and the other small cities are in the back row.”

The Milan representative stood up, with a little arrogant expression, glanced at the representatives of the various cities attending the meeting, and said slowly:

“Milan’s economy is developed, and railway construction has the highest efficiency for the economic growth of the Lombardy region and the best effect on the kingdom’s fiscal revenue.”

Not far behind, the representative of Venice stood up and added:

“Venice is the commercial center of the Mediterranean. Of course, the railway must be built first, and Milan’s products will also be sold all over the world.”

Venice is an old-fashioned economic powerhouse with a long history, especially in commerce. It is only one step behind Milan in terms of industrialization, but they are all overlords in the region, so there is also competition between the two cities.

In any case, the two of them are considered super cities in the kingdom, and they have a taste of the two capitals of the devil emperor. They must first unite and give those Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Tianjin, and Chengdu, Wuhan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chongqing, etc. to Press down.

“Oh, most of the public expenditures of the entire kingdom are in Milan and Venice. Of course you guys are fine. You really think it’s your ability, but it’s just blood sucking, sucking the blood of our small city to strengthen your strength.”

Cuomo’s representative, with a half-serious, half-provocative attitude, argued with these two members.

“Choose any city at random, pour the money into it, and make sure it develops better than Milan and Venice.”

This is the representative of the parliamentarians of Bergamo, who started the attack mode. Anyway, there is no way to verify it, and in fact, it is also Milan and Venice that account for too much public expenditure.

They are now stronger than their neighbors. How much is their own strength and how much is the help of public spending cannot be distinguished.

“Oh, with Bergamo supporting you for 30 years, can you grow to the size of Milan? You think too highly of yourself, you bastard.”

The representative of Milan has always put his eyes above the top, and at most takes Venice seriously, how can he be run on by these small cities, he added a self-righteous sentence:

“For Verona, there are fifty or sixty years. It can develop to the level of Milan in twenty or thirty years. You Bergamo, I’m afraid it won’t work in one or two hundred years.”

The representative of Milan originally wanted to say that Verona is much stronger than Bergamo and bigger than me. But I also made up a small qualification for Verona. You see, your fifty or sixty years are almost my twenty or thirty years.

But Verona’s MPs were unwilling. You must know that Verona was later on, and it was the second largest city in the region after Milan and Venice. At this time, how could Milan be allowed to flatten and round it?

“These public expenditures, if you give me Verona, it is estimated that it will exceed your achievements in 20 or 30 years in a dozen years. Of course, if it is given to us in the following town, it may be similar to yours. After all, the small town’s Man, the level is a little bit last time.”

To stand up against his own competitors, of course, how ruthless they are. After the Verona MP finished speaking, he gave the Milan representative a provocative look.

The parliamentarians of Bergamo burst into laughter, and the representatives of Brescia, Varese, Vicenza, Udine, and Trieste in the southern foothills of the Alps also laughed.

The representative of Milan was very angry. This has already given you Verona’s face and made you a half of mine. You are still talking like this, and you are about to retort. Venice has spoken over there.

“Verona is better than Milan, so it’s better than Venice.”

Because the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venecia was merged by the Principality of Lombardy and the Republic of Venice, and was also managed by two governments, just like the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Verona is under the administration of the government of Venice. Although Venice wants to maintain its own cities, it doesn’t want them to be too rampant, so they habitually rely on the old and sell the old.

“Oh, I don’t know the situation, I thought Venice was Verona’s father. After a long time, it was just equal status. You ate the leftovers of your ancestors for hundreds of years, and now there is nothing left. Press you, you will kneel and lick Milan?”

It’s not too big of a deal to watch the fun. This is a satire from the representative of Pavia. Pavia is managed by the Lombard government.

The Milan representative glanced at the Pavia representative and said nothing.

The representative of Venice was also very angry. He felt that I taught my little brother a lesson and gave you face. I didn’t expect your little brother to come and peel my face.

And you, Milan, didn’t even reprimand your little brother to give me face.

In fact, Milan is different from Venice. Venice has been majestic for hundreds of years and thousands of years. It has always been bossy to surrounding cities. After all, they all rely on Venetian merchants.

Milan has been a regional center for a short period of time, and it has been visited by plagues many times. Tens of thousands, even tens of thousands, have died, and more have escaped.

Milan has not formed any sustainable cultural heritage, and has economic pressure on the surrounding area, but there is not too much political and historical pressure.

In addition, Milan was continuously conquered by Austria, Spain, France, and Austria, with heavy casualties every time.

In terms of killing people, war is no different from the plague, but in terms of killing hearts, it is much more powerful than the plague.

Therefore, although the deterrent effect of Milan on the surrounding cities is also great, it is not like Venice. It has an irreplaceable feeling. Of course, this is an illusion.

In fact, Milan also wanted to dampen Venice’s morale. Although Milan was the largest city in the kingdom and had the best economy, Venice, the capital of the kingdom, overwhelmed Milan politically.

“I think Verona, Vicenza, and Udine can all build railways to Venice. Products from these places can also be sold all over the world through Venice.”

The representative of Venice was tricked by Milan, and began to win over tricks again. Unfortunately, the representative of Verona was disgusted by him once, and he didn’t appreciate it at all, and also said something strange.

“Hey, Trieste also builds railways, do you want him to go to Venice to build it too? Their goods~www.mtlnovel.com~ are also sent to you in Venice to sell all over the world?”

The representative of Udine went on to say:

“What Pavia said just now, kneeling and licking Milan, this should make you Verona and Vicenza build the railway to Milan.”

Udine is about the same distance as Venice and Trieste, but Udine’s products are more sent to Trieste than to Venice, so the representative of Venice is not attached.

The representative of Venice also regretted it. He shouldn’t have said that. Holding down his little brother and giving Milan face, this is a foolish move, but Venice’s face for hundreds of years cannot be lost.

In fact, everyone has little interest in Venice, which is a normal way of thinking. With the advent of industrialization, the port of Venice has been eroded by the sediment of the Po River. .

Just like in the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou Port was awesome. Why? Because the shallow water of Quanzhou Port matched the shipbuilding technology at that time—big ships could not be built, and no deep-water port was needed. In modern times, it is to look at Xiamen Port.

Venetian merchants are also engaged in small commodities and handicrafts, while in Trieste, they can build large ships, operate large ships, and do big business, and they transport a large number of modern industrial products.

If there is a plain behind Trieste, the population of northern Italy will be far greater than that of Milan and Rome. Unfortunately, there are rugged mountains behind it, and then there are densely populated areas for several hundred miles.

Governor Ruina, sitting on the high platform, watched the stir fry below, his expression was serious, and his heart was full of joy.

Thinking of the story of the Valentine family, with such a big influence in the market, he wanted to sing.

However, he still sat there with a straight face.
