Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 83

In a few days, all the relatives arrived. They all came after Christmas, and they probably took their trip to southern Hungary as a vacation.

You see, it’s the end of January now, the grass will be green and the willows will be green soon, and the spring flowers will be yellow.

All of them came, but Carl was paralyzed from exhaustion, or not paralyzed, but paralyzed.

As expected, first Vienna and Graz, then relatives in northern Italy.

Vienna delegation: Amali with Maximilian and little Maria Anna.

Graz delegation: John and Anna brought three big ones, Leopold, Elizabeth and Ferdinando.

A branch of the Northern Italian delegation: Princess Mary Louise with her son William Albert.

The second group of the Northern Italian delegation: Ludovica, but with 7 people, 2 little girls and 5 young men.

When every wave of relatives came, I would take them to see, talk, and answer the same questions.

This is similar to a high school teacher teaching four or five classes in one grade.

Every class you are eager to listen to, there is a teacher who talks about it and vomits.

Those wretched and silvery diaosi, honestly don’t deceive me!

Now everyone has a newspaper called “Danube Weekly”, which mainly talks about Novi Sad, as well as Austria and those German states, of course, nearby Belgrade will also be mentioned.

The newspaper is in German. Although it will reduce the number of subscriptions, lower profit expectations, and delay the profit timeline, Karl still insists on printing in Austrian.

The Austrian language prints newspapers, there is no doubt that the direct audience will be much less, after all, only those who can read and write Austrian can read it.

However, there are many indirect audiences behind them. Those newspaper readers who understand the Austrian language can not only spread the information, but also show the superiority of others, and become the object of everyone’s pursuit, which will lead more people to learn the Austrian language. .

Back to the “Danube Weekly”, it is published once a week, and the current number of prints is 5,000.

“Among them, about 20% of the Princess House, the hospital, the medical school, the teacher’s college, the industrial zone, and the army have been set. The citizens and squires of Novi Sad account for 60%, and the remaining 20% ​​are actually in Belgrade. “

Maria made a gesture of “pinching her waist and touching her belly”, standing in the front to introduce, a bit like a promotion meeting.

“Everyone, our goal is to start in 1843, to convert the weekly newspaper into two copies, and to add another “Danube Weekend”, and the “Danube Weekly” will rise to 8,000, or even 10,000, and the “Danube Weekend” , from 3000 prints.”

“”Danube Weekend” hits the sales of “Danube Weekly”, what do you do?”

A young man asked a question, his name is Anton.

Carl knew that Anton was the son of the Grand Duke of Rena. He and his sister Luisa came with Ludovica.

Among the seven people Ludovica brought, the remaining four men and one woman were her seniors, teachers recruited for the Maria series schools, and they had already reported to the academy.

“First of all, let’s say the conclusion: there won’t be much impact.”

After Anna finished speaking, she glanced at everyone. Seeing that they still had doubts, she explained further:

“The population of the city of Novi Sad is now about 80,000. It will increase by 10,000 by the end of this year. Next year, in 1842, the increase will probably not be lower than this. Among the increased number, there are teachers and students. There are doctors, these are Austrian speakers, and they have reading needs.”

“In addition, there will also be endogenous Austrian speakers in the city, and the number is also increasing. The surrounding gentry, their children have not come to Novi Sad, but some of them learn Austrian and come to live in the city within a year or two. .”

“Although the number of endogenous Austrian speakers is not as good as the number of foreign speakers, in two or three years, the situation will improve a lot, especially after the whole city has formed an Austrian language atmosphere.”

Carl added.

“They are all people in demand for newspapers, so it can’t be talked about impacting sales.”

Anna said:

“And the main content of the two newspapers is different. “Danube Weekly” mainly focuses on economy, industry and life, and “Danube Weekend” mainly focuses on leisure, entertainment and life.”

“What’s the purpose of running this newspaper? You can’t even make money in the early stage and insist on running it.”

This was asked by Louisa of the Grand Duke of Ruina. Of course she knew the reason, but she still wanted to verify it.

“Fundamentally, it’s still for economic reasons. Statistically speaking, there are more Serbian speakers in the area than Austrian speakers, and there are more Hungarian speakers than us.”

Maria sat down, picked up the water, took a sip, and revealed further.

“However, most of the people who can read and write the spoken language are Austrian, and those who have good economic conditions and can read and write the spoken language are also mostly German.”

Everyone understands that it is really considered from the economic level, at least the basic point is the economic level.

“And our goal is to increase the proportion and absolute number of Austrian speakers, so we won’t publish newspapers in those two languages.”

Of course, everyone from the Lao Ha family, or people close to the Lao Ha family, understands this point.

“It’s not only the teaching of the Austrian language in the university, but also the Austrian language is printed in the newspapers, the materials in the factory are also in the Austrian language, and the road signs on the streets are also in the Austrian language.”

There is another point that Princess Maria Anna is too embarrassed to mention alone.

The hospital’s house number and various guides are also in Austrian. Now, most of the people who enter the hospital are civilians, handicraftsmen, small businessmen and other people who can afford it.

Yes, there are also local powerhouses who can enter the hospital. To be precise, they are local economic powerhouses. They can be called local tyrants, the kind of tyrants who are relatively local.

These people have the ability to learn the Austrian language and the resources to learn the Austrian language. It depends on whether they have the will or not. If all the written texts they come into contact with are in the Austrian language, they will have a strong will to learn the Austrian language.

These days, whether they are civilians, handicraftsmen, small businessmen, or small landlords, they are all local elites, and their households have a slight surplus in their economy, so they can make a little investment for the foreseeable future.

As for those nobles who are not native, have culture, pursuits and ideals, they all went to Budapest.

By 1848, if he succeeded, he would become a master with those nobles. If he failed, he would become a ghost with them.

“What about primary and secondary education?” asked William Albert, cousin of Aunt Carl’s family.

If you don’t seek to be motivated, William will be able to get a marquis’ hat to wear in the future. After all, his mother, the eldest princess Mary Louise and old Carl have talked, and the old Ha family has already spoken about it; , the Duke is also very likely.

“Now there are five or six middle schools that offer Austrian language classes, and they are all private Austrian language teachers who I paid for before I got married to train maids. Later, they thanked me for my support and gave them Austrian language classes in several schools. .”

Maria talked and laughed, remembering that when training Austrian-speaking maids, Carl did the same thing back then.

“You mean, there are plans to offer Austrian language classes in more schools?” William put on a stance of getting to the bottom of it.

“Yes, brother William, at the beginning of the new semester, all middle schools will have Austrian classes. Next year, that is, starting in 1842, all elementary schools will have Austrian classes.”

Carl replied for Maria and asked her to drink slowly. It was like a doctoral dissertation defense. It was really inappropriate to ask a big belly to answer so many questions, so the little assistant Carl came on stage.

“Where do the teachers come from?” Brother William continued to ask.

“The Austrian language preparatory class at Princess Maria Anna Teachers College teaches more than 1,000 people. Among them, the Austrian language proficiency is sufficient, but the students who are not in the professional class can prepare for the exam while taking a substitute class at the school.”

“How do you get the Austrian language teacher fee?” This is Luisa from the Rena family.

“We calculated that by the end of this year, there will be about 90,000 people in the city, including primary and secondary schools, 17,000 people, and about half of the school-aged and enrolled students, that is, 9,000 people, each teacher can lead 3 classes 120 People, it only needs 75 teachers and pays £12 a year for a total of £900.”

“What you calculated for me is how much it will cost. What we want to ask is how to solve the problem?”

This is Anton from Ruina’s uncle’s house, speaking a bit aggressively.

“The government currently has insufficient funds. In the past two or three years, the Princess Mansion can be lent to the government first, and then repaid after the local taxation has been raised. Everyone has seen that the current more than 20 factories will bring a significant increase to the finances in two or three years. .”

Maria replied for Carl, and the two crossed for cover.

In fact, whether the government is not the government, it is not all the military leaders who call the shots, but because the area is too small and no credit has been established, it is impossible to issue bonds.

When the population of the city reaches 300,000 to 500,000 and the local economy becomes more active, a wave of bonds can be issued and infrastructure construction can be carried out.

“Besides, with these more than 20 factories, more people will invest and more factories will be opened.”

Carl added another sentence for Maria, which was more convincing.

“There are two problems now, one is school-age students who are not enrolled in school, and the other is Austrian language education in primary and secondary schools in the countryside. Is there a plan?” Luisa asked.

“Not enrolling at school age, this is an economic problem~www.mtlnovel.com~ We have also calculated that in the city, according to the annual increase of enrollment by 5 points, it will take 8-10 years to increase the enrollment rate of school-aged people to 90%; in the countryside, it can be increased by 4 points per year, and the same number of years can only be increased to more than 60%, and it will take about 15 years to increase to 90%…”

Maria replied, she gave prenatal education to the baby in her belly while answering, to see how good her mother was, she was very good at math. If the teacher does not refund the money for one day, I will occupy the knowledge for one day and cannot return it to him.

The region where you came from must be the economic highland of Austria in the future.

“… After all these calculations, the cost of Austrian language teaching in primary and secondary schools has stabilized, and it will cost five or six thousand pounds a year.”

“Aunt Maria, in fact, gradually the private sector will also invest. For example, families with good finances will hire Austrian language teachers, and there will even be many Austrian language training classes near the school.”

“Whether it is further education training or vocational training, there will be demand.”

Carl glanced at Anton from Rena’s uncle’s house and made a patch for Maria.

“In short, the world of Austrian language is built outside, and we also pay to help them learn the language so that they can enter the Austrian language paradise we created.”

“No wonder Dad did such a bad job. We only wanted to build an Austrian language park, but we didn’t pay to help them learn Austrian language. Besides, the Austrian language park we built was not as colorful as the local Italian language park. “

Classmate Anton, facing his sister Louisa, said with a wry smile.

“Uncle Anton, it’s not all to blame for Uncle Rena. Northern Italy and southern Hungary are two completely different places, and their coping strategies should also be different.”

Carl came over and said to Anton and Luisa.
