Please vote for a recommendation. Thank you, thank you!

……..

Speaking of which, the governor of the Lombardy-Venezia kingdom, and his sister complained about his father, and complained that the governor did not do a good job in Italy. Little Carl leaned in to defend old uncle Zurina.

The first group of Maria Louise of the Northern Italian delegation and the second group of Ludovica were all around. I want to hear what kind of antidote to the symptom that the little prodigy in the family can give.

“Karl, tell me, I want to hear it too. I went there this time and communicated with Rena, and I basically know his difficulties, but there is no way to solve it.”

Carl looked back, and it turned out to be Archduke Carl of the Northern Italian Third Division. He was in charge of the southern half of Northern Italy, Tuscany.

Brother Carl, Uncle Carl, Uncle Carl, as well as Uncle Carl, and of course two people called Dad, in addition to Duke John and his wife, there were also greetings from the juniors, causing a lot of commotion.

Archduke Karl clapped his hands to calm everyone down.

“Come on, everyone here is from our Lao Ha family. Everyone also thinks about the good old Ha family and the Austrian Empire. There is no objection to this.”

“Yes, no objection, for Lao Ha’s family, for Austria.”

Everyone answered in unison, even little Martha and Uncle Carl who followed him were automatically counted as members of the Old Ha family.

“Everyone here is also talented. Let’s try to find a way for the Lao Ha family. The problem now being thrown is Northern Italy, especially the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venecia. Their centripetal force against Austria is not strong.”

“Uncle Carl, don’t put powder on my dad’s face. Where is the centripetal force is not strong, I just wish I could turn against Austria immediately and drive Old Ruina out of the Governor’s Palace immediately.”

Holy crap, has it all reached this level? Karl was startled and asked quickly:

“Uncle Anton, are you referring to the entire Lombardy-Venetian kingdom, or are you referring to Milan and Venice?”

The Kingdom of Lombardy-Venecia is a union of the Grand Duchy of Lombardy and the Grand Duchy of Venice.

In that year, at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, in order to compensate Austria, it was placed under the rule of the Habsburg family.

There are two disobedient thorns in this kingdom, Milan, the capital of the former Lombardy Grand Duchy, and Venice, the former capital of the Grand Duchy of Venice.

Anton replied with a little exasperation:

“How can I be so clear in other places? I mainly refer to Venice and Milan. The administrative officials in these two places are rebellious, and the orders of the governor are not carried out at all. They even fight against the governor.”

It’s okay, it’s just like Venice and Milan, at most three or two big cities, that’s all, don’t worry. Carl patted his chest to cheer himself up.

If it was just like this, there would still be salvation. After all, there are still seven years before they made trouble in 1848. Seven years, nothing can be done.

Seven years can make a loving couple “itch”, but still can’t handle Milan and Venice?

“Uncle Anton, this has to be divided and ruled. For the cities that resisted the most, such as Venice and Milan, find a clear reason to increase the tax, the tax on the wealthy, the corporate tax, and other cities remain unchanged…”

Slash a few first, let them know that we are not talkative, we really dare to slash, and then we will have a deterrent effect before the sword is unsheathed.

“…If the wind is released again, which city will emerge again, on the basis of Milan and Venice, they will be taxed.”

“What if they make trouble?”

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just Milan and Venice. Now they don’t dare to make trouble. Even if there is trouble, didn’t Uncle Carl just check the army? By the way, let’s check it out in actual combat.”

Carl looked at the old war god, his face was expressionless, so he continued:

“…I just checked the most troublesome ones and supplemented the treasury.”

“Also, is this the trick?”

“In addition, as for the taxes collected, we need to do more infrastructure construction, build bridges and pave roads, so that the common people can see and touch the work. These accounts must be open and transparent, and posted in German and Italian, so that ordinary people can see clearly. Chu.”

Carl knew very well that these taxes on the wealthy and corporations were naturally imposed on the Italian nobles, and the taxes of the nobles were added to supply ordinary people and borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Isn’t it cool?

In the future, when the Galician uprising occurred, Austria used this trick. The local peasants cut off the roots of the nobles and looted hundreds of families, large and small.

Moreover, the openness and transparency of the grassroots can not only buy the hearts of the bottom, but also attack the political enemies at the top.

“But in this case, if those nobles and business owners can’t bear it, will the local economic vitality be over?”

“No, the economic vitality is not your vitality, nor the vitality of Lao Ha’s family, nor the vitality of Austria, but the economic vitality of the anti-Austrian aristocrats. Why do I want anti-Austrian economic vitality?”

After Carl finished speaking, he added:

“It’s all on the surface, and there are actions underneath.”

“What’s going on underneath? What else is going on underneath?”

This guy is simply terrible. No wonder it is so rushed, there are too few twists and turns in my mind.

“This action in private will maintain the economic vitality, and the economic vitality of Lao Ha’s family will increase, and the economic vitality of Austria will increase, offsetting the economic recession caused by the retreat of the Italian nobles.”

When he looked up, he found that this stupid uncle Anton was staring at him, as if he didn’t fully understand, so Carl had to go into more detail.

“In the process of increasing taxation, whoever opposes Uncle Rena will investigate his personal property, investigate his business upside down, and ask them to make up for tax evasion and tax evasion, and he will be fined heavily. , kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.”

“And then, after killing the chicken?”

“Then let the local nobles and enterprises check and fill the vacancies by themselves, and give them a period of time, such as a week, to make up for the evaded tax by themselves, and then check again. Whoever conceals it will be notified, and then whoever will be fined heavily.”

Carl paused for a moment, digested it for him, and then said:

“Of course, we companies have to let go. In this way, we can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and expand production capacity. Soon, those companies that go against Uncle Ruina will die and be injured.”

“Karl, you said so, I understand, this is also a different treatment, the former is to divide and conquer the enemy, the latter is to distinguish the enemy from me.”

Anton seemed to realize something, and murmured.

“Uncle Anton, I know that no one supported Uncle Ruina before. He couldn’t let it go. He was afraid that if the whole city’s economy went into trouble, the whole city would be troubled.”

Carl raised his voice an octave, he wanted to give Anton confidence

“Uncle Anton, but this time we have us. We have come in with a lot of money. There is a problem with the local Italian company. Let’s take over. We can guarantee the operation of the city’s economy.”

Anton also knew whether he understood or not. Anyway, he pondered for a while and asked another question.

“Northern Italy and South Hungary are not subject to discipline, so the prescriptions you give are different?”

“Southern Hungary is weak to death. Not only does he disobey Austria’s discipline, but also Hungary’s discipline. They are poor and have nothing, and they dare to be presumptuous to anyone. So for South Hungary, the key is to let them find hope in life. .”

“Then you mean South Hungary, is it enough to develop the economy?”

“Yes, it’s as simple as that. Of course, in the process of economic development, assimilate them into Germans, assimilate them into Austrians, or at least pro-Austria. They use the Austrian language to familiarize themselves with Austrian civilization and culture.”

Compared with Italy, this process is too labor-saving, because Austria has a crushing advantage over the local area, its economic efficiency is too high, and its civilization is too advanced.

Austria has an advantage over Italy, but it is not that big, but the Austrian Empire has an overall advantage over Italy, which is the advantage of scale.

The scale advantage is very powerful. Just like China in later generations, the technology is not as good as you, and even the efficiency is not as good as you. However, the products of Japan, South Korea, Britain, France, Germany and other countries are still squeezed out of the market, relying on the advantage of scale.

Of course, for luxury goods and high value-added products, the market size is already small, and the scale advantage is gone.

Of course, Austria’s scale advantage over Italy is not as great as China’s scale advantage over developed countries in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, but there are still three-five advantages.

However, isn’t there Carl, Carl’s funds, and Carl’s vision of the future.

With a small technological advantage, a large scale advantage, a huge capital advantage, and the super advantage of the perspective of later generations, can you still manage northern Italy?

“What about Northern Italy?” Anton looked at Carl’s self-conscious smile, so he had to ask, to remind him not to dream, angrily.

Only then did Carl wake up from the advantages of scale, technology, and civilization. Glancing at Anton, he quickly replied:

“Northern Italy is conscious that their wings are hardened, they can break away from the organization, and they can fly solo. This is their illusion. They are far from having hardened wings.”

“Then they don’t have strong wings, so why do they have to fly alone?”

“Isn’t that an illusion? We want to help them identify obstacles and break the illusion, so I’m going to beat them to the point where they can’t fly again, let alone fly solo.”

Anton thinks this Carl is a bit arrogant, aren’t the ~www.mtlnovel.com~ of Lao Ha’s family civilized? However, when I think of my sister, I am also a little tiger and a little bit arrogant. Oh, forget it, how can you be as civilized and polite as me?

“Northern Italy is mainly to let them see themselves clearly. In the process, they will subtly assimilate some of them, and then subtly let some of them recognize Lao Ha’s family and follow in the footsteps of Austria.”

“How to make them recognize the old Ha family? Follow Austria?”

“We are a little bit stronger than them in terms of economy and civilization. We have to domesticate them in both aspects, cultural civilization, we will talk about it later, let’s talk about the economy first.”

“Okay, I’m all ears.”

“Uncle Anton, the population, economic aggregate, land area, etc. of our Austrian Empire are more than those of Northern Italy. Right?”

“Yes, we are bigger than northern Italy.”

“In our country, the Grand Duchy of Austria, Bohemia and Moravia, the industry is more developed than this.”

“This is also true.”

“Also, the entire German region, including us, Prussia, and other small states, has an economic aggregate that is more than ten times that of Italy.”

“Well, yes, but what’s the use of it in northern Italy?”

“We can borrow these domestic strengths, the strength of the German region. For example, in our current university, most of the teachers are from these regions, and only the money will do. Our factories in Novi Sad, these managers are also Vienna, Gera people in places like Ci.”

“I understand a little bit,” Anton said.

“Uncle Anton, Venice and Milan, don’t you have a lot of thorns? We usually support these two cities a lot, but this time we will do the opposite.”

“What do you mean, why is it the other way around?”
