Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 72

Maria is pregnant, everyone is very happy, and Maria herself is even more happy. She is in her thirties. She was a little worried about whether she could get pregnant smoothly. Now it seems that the old Ha family is good. Well, the seeds of the old Shi family are also fine.

“Schmidt’s side, I’ll go back and talk to him again. Of course, I’ll wait for him to come back from the front line. There’s no need to send this news to the front line, it might affect his battle.”

“Vienna, don’t let me know, wait for three months, and then let’s talk about it. If they meet you and talk about me, Uncle John, Aunt Anna, don’t talk too much, just don’t know.”

Maria chilled the pregnancy thing down.

“Uncle John, are you familiar with this Doctor Neumann? How many people are in his team? What is his income here?”

Everyone looked at Carl, not knowing why they asked this question.

“Dr. Neumann is very familiar, but I really don’t know about the questions you asked. What are your thoughts on digging him up and bringing him to Novi Sad?”

John was surprised and had to ask.

“Yes, Uncle John, I’m thinking, Aunt Maria needs a medical team, but it’s too wasteful for her to use it alone. It’s not only a waste of medical resources, but also a disrespect to the team of doctors.”

Everyone thinks this is the truth. If you call someone over, they will serve you alone. If you don’t work during the rest of the time, people will feel uncomfortable. What about you raising pigs?

“Now the size of the city of Novi Sad, I am talking about the number of people in the city, it is not smaller than Graz, and will soon surpass Graz, but there is not a serious modern hospital.”

“You mean to ask him to lead people to form a medical team, then, in Novi Sad, will you support them to build a hospital?”

Anna Profel asked, she is very curious, even more curious than her husband. Of course others were also curious to know the answer to Anna’s question.

“That’s it, Uncle Anna, didn’t I support Uncle John £30,000 as the start-up capital for the school? Aunt Maria scolded me, saying I was too partial to Uncle John, although he was handsome, his wife was beautiful, and his children Smart, but you can’t do everything good for him.”

Hahahaha?????, everyone laughed.

“I heard what Aunt Maria said, and I think it makes sense. Ordinary people like Aunt Maria who are not beautiful enough to find a husband, um, my husband is not bad, powerful and calm, and also a warrior in the field; ordinary people who are not beautiful , we have to take care of it too, so I decided to take out £20,000??????”

“Why do you take so much money?”

Maria pulled Carl’s ear again. This question is asked, as if the Carl family’s money belongs to her, it is her responsibility.

Of course not, so Carl ignored her. He heard that the eldest sister is like a mother, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I never heard that an aunt is like a mother, and you are not an aunt.

I’m not married, only my old mother might manage my money, and that’s just a possibility. I won’t let Mrs. Sophie manage my money. Neither can you, Aunt Maria.

Carl scolded her for a while and continued:

“The 20,000 pounds is to build a medical school. It doesn’t need to be too large. It only needs to enroll about 300 people every year. At the same time, it will also set up a hospital, and strive to make the hospital’s profit continue to grow until it can support the medical school. .”

“It’s a bit difficult. It’s a bit difficult for a hospital to support a medical school with a population of 1,000.”

John said that he knew the scale of the hospital himself. In the largest hospital in Graz, a year’s profit could not make up for the cost of a school with a thousand students.

“The school has graduates every year, and they also have to enter the hospital. We can open a few more hospitals, and Novi Sad is now in the expansion period. The number of hospitals needed now is the number of all hospitals in Graz at present, haha.”

“Well, the profits of all the hospitals in Graz are more than enough for a medical school with a thousand people, even three or four such medical schools.”

“Then, at the beginning, I paid some money to subsidize it. When a few hospitals are built, wouldn’t I be able to support this medical school? Even with the expansion of the hospital in the future, the medical school can also be expanded.”

Seeing them talking about this, the others couldn’t get in.

Carl had no choice but to open up another topic to prevent others from being left out.

“In addition, I also have a careful idea to set up a team of nurses. This team of nurses is military nurses, or field nurses. They mainly use the hospital to treat wounds for the wounded, including disinfection, bandaging, etc. on the battlefield.”

What kind of operation is this, everyone is stunned.

“There are chaplains on the battlefield, Carl.”

Leopold spoke, reminding him that he was very optimistic about his eldest nephew.

“Uncle Leopold, military chaplains only do three things??????”

Carl glanced at Leopold and said, “I’m optimistic about you.” Well, he’s optimistic, and continued to introduce:

“??????One is to cheer up the soldiers before the war, which is to pray before the war; the other is to pray to the soldiers who died in battle and let him go to heaven, which is to comfort the souls after the war, and the third is to pray for the wounded soldiers. Doing ideological work to make him less painful is to console and listen.”

“Carl is right, and the military chaplain also organizes daily prayers,” John added.

“But military chaplains can’t treat the wounded, so we expect the participation of those who treat the wounded, which should greatly reduce the death rate of the wounded and improve the recovery rate of the wounded. Veterans.”

This is the point, and this is the reason why I want to be a field nurse, Carl said in his heart, especially now that the war is not too fierce, and you can explore it slowly.

“Aunt Maria’s husband is not a general in the field. Uncle Schmidt is expanding territory for the Lao Ha family. He is so loyal to the Lao Ha family. We should also consider him, support him, and help him.”

When everyone heard Karl say that, they laughed for a while.

“In this way, the soldiers in Uncle Schmidt’s hands will be the masters of a hundred battles, and the masters of a hundred battles will be victorious in every battle. Every time a battle is fought, there will be a new team of soldiers, that’s not good.”

Karl turned to Maria again and asked:

“Aunt Maria, didn’t you just ask me what I did with so much money? That’s what I did. What do you think? Don’t spend money indiscriminately.”

“You are cruel, you know how to take care of our Schmidt. What are the names of the hospital and medical school?”

Carl smiled and said to Maria:

“It’s business as usual, it’s called Maria Anna Hospital, and Maria Anna Medical College. What do you think?”

Maria felt that it was wrong to pull her ears just now. You see how much the eldest nephew respects me, so she said coyly:

“I’m so sorry, Carl.”

“Why are you embarrassed? Aunt Maria, the first Maria Anna hospital was named after my little sister Maria Anna; the second Maria Anna medical school was named after mine. Named after the Queen’s Aunt Maria Anna.”

Another burst of laughter. Of course, Carl is very clever, and he has avoided Maria when he speaks, and the ear-pulling big move is not effective.

After laughing, Maria talked about this trip again. It was a journey through mountains and rivers.

So Karl took this opportunity to talk about the railway to Archduke John again.

“Uncle John, look at Aunt Maria and you. You broke the old Ha family’s routine and got married. You are an alliance. She is the landlord of Vojvodina, and you are the landlord of Steiermark.”

“Well, we have to form an alliance, and we need to expand this alliance, and strive to make Amasa, Elizabeth, Martha in the periphery, and Ludovica in Modena our alliance.”

When Maria heard this, she became active again.

“Well, I will also join your alliance in the future. Uncle John is the leader of the alliance. After five or six years, Aunt Maria will continue to be the leader of the alliance. After a few sessions, I will be able to do my part and not be allowed to wear the laurel of the leader.”

Karl suddenly felt that Maria had brought the rhythm, he quickly turned back and straightened the building.

“Well, it’s not too early to talk about that, but it’s too empty. First, let the two of you communicate frequently. Otherwise, let’s build the railway.”

“You have a big heart. The railway is built. Now the railway is planned by the empire. Do you also want to intervene?”

John asked, thinking that you are burning too much money.

“I don’t want to intervene, I just want to make it easier for me to go to relatives, and Vojvodina is more stable, and it’s better to push the unstable place to two or three hundred kilometers away.”

Carl came pretending to be a little white rabbit.

“The Empire is currently divided into four lines from east to west, north to south: the west line is Vienna-Linz-Salzburg, the north line is Vienna-Brno-Prague, the east line is Vienna-Pressburg-Budapest, and the south line is Vienna- Graz-Marburg.”

John mentioned the core roads of the empire at present. They are very core. They are all connected to Vienna. Why didn’t they arrive at the port?

“I thought the southern line was going to be built to the port on the Adriatic Sea?”

“Yes, but it is estimated that it will not be repaired at present. It will take a few years. After the southern line reaches Marburg, the troops will be divided into two routes, one is Lebach-Trieste, and the other is Zagreb-Fium.”

“Well, the planning ideas of the empire’s gang are also normal.”

“Back to the railway connecting our two families, from Marlborough to Novi Sad, the distance between the two places is about 400 kilometers. We have two hundred people each, and the midpoint is probably in Velowicz.”

Of course Carl knew the distance between these cities when he came all the way.

“We are in charge of Marlborough to Verovicz, and you are in charge of Novi Sad to Verovicz? Do you mean that? But what about the money?”

“Of course it’s the empire’s big head, the local area is the small head, we’ll pay a little more. You need Uncle John to run, you can go to Vienna to talk about this matter. The empire is 60%, the local area is 30%, and we’ll pay 10%.”

“Why are you willing to pay this money?”

John asked this question again, did you burn any money? Do you have money in your hands?

“It can activate our economy~www.mtlnovel.com~ and have economic exchanges with the big cities Vienna, Linz, Graz, Prague and other places.”

Carl replied that John felt that there was some truth, but there were new questions.

“Why not connect to Budapest?”

Back to the old question, northern Italy, southern Hungary. Alas, Carl had to answer again:

It’s too late for me to hide from it. Budapest is the capital of Hungary. The nobles are there, and the anti-Austria stronghold. Why should I connect with them? Help them grow and block themselves? I’m out of my mind? “

John asked:

“When will you connect with them?”

Karl knew about the European revolution in 1848, so he will suppress Hungary thoroughly at that time, and don’t save face. In 1867, he will not give you face, so he had to change from the Austrian Empire to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

“Seven or eight years, or ten years. When Hungary is not Hungary, I will go directly north. Before that, I will go south to Belgrade, east to Thamesburg, and north to Subo. Tiza will do.”

Note: Nightingale started a nursing school around 1860 and began to enroll 15 people. Her funds at that time were 4,400 pounds, and her annual subsidy to the trainees was 10 pounds.

This is the 1840s, the purchasing power of 20,000 pounds is more than double that of 1860, and the subsistence allowance is only 1 pound, and it is in a small “country” type city like Novi Sad.

That is equivalent to 40,000 pounds in 1860. In addition, in remote areas, the subsidies are small, and the utilization rate of large-scale funds, including the utilization rate of teachers, is also relatively high. So it is reasonable to recruit 300 people a year.
