Chapter 4, Triviality II

Some people think that among a bunch of foreign names, the appearance of a Chinese name is very abrupt, sorry I didn't find it before, but now it has all been modified. Thank you for your valuable comments! If you find a mistake, please raise it, and I will correct it immediately!

Ferdinand always did what he said, and since he was planning to build a grain processing plant, he started preparing now.

Their own territory is mainly planted with wheat, barley, sugar beets, potatoes, flax, etc.; Animal husbandry is dominated by pig and cattle raising.

Then supporting processing can maximize the benefits, and flour mills are naturally the first choice; followed by sugar mills; Oh, and potatoes, which are also good for fries, can also be kept; Linen, do you have to open a weaving factory or a garment factory, and put it aside; The slaughterhouse can be had, and it doesn't require much investment; Do you want to do it......

The more he thought about it, the more he could proudly say that if it was all realized, Ferdinand could proudly say: food, clothing, shelter and transportation, all self-sufficiency, the ultimate pursuit of the feudal landlords was all achieved.

Opening a factory is not so simple, who told him that his father died early, his own industry is basically conservative investment, and the proper aristocratic class has not had time to transition to the capitalists.

Then let's start with ourselves, the combination of the big aristocracy and the big capitalists, the mainstream of today's society.

At the moment, there is some trouble for Ferdinand, although he also has a stake in some factories, but they are not led by his own family, and the talent pool must be left behind.

"Steward Karl, you send someone to investigate the situation in the flour mill near Vienna!" Ferdinand finally decided to start with a flour mill.

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll do it right away!" Karl Chekov politely replied.

Ferdinand became more and more accustomed to his aristocratic status, unlike when he first arrived, he liked to do everything himself. For example, asking the maid to help with dressing, stretching out his hand for clothes, and opening his mouth for food, is his current life.

Ferdinand planned to report to the city guards, except for the first few days when he had just crossed and commuted to work on time every day, he had been a miner until now.

Although no one asked, he still felt that it was too undeserved, and he was looking for such a good job.

You must know that the nobility of the German region has a tradition of joining the army, if you don't join the army, you will be looked down upon, you will be considered a coward, and it will be difficult to find a daughter-in-law who is the right person!

The Ferdinand family was also a German nobility, and naturally this tradition was preserved.

However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is rotten in the end, and there are not a few officers who want to eat and wait for death like Ferdinand.

The old emperor was also powerless, and in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and prevent them from bringing others badly, he simply threw them into the city guard.

Of course, if you are willing to endure hardship, you can also fall over. The original Ferdinand has always looked down on these stubborn children, and he does not intend to be in the same league with them, and he does not have many friends in it.

Entering the City Guard Building, a smell of decay came to my face, and as I remembered, a dilapidated office building looked crumbling.

"That's too broken! No wonder no one came to work, just in this environment, the ghost was willing to come, and I don't know how the original owner persevered! Ferdinand muttered secretly

Along the way, except for a few lazy and lazy guards on duty, Ferdinand did not find anyone else.

I found my office, a small room of less than 20 square meters, in which a small wooden table, a chair, a teacup, and a stack of expired newspapers were placed, which was all the belongings in the original owner's office.

There was already a thick layer of dust in the house, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time, Ferdinand looked at it, and finally gave up the idea of cleaning it himself.

Went straight back the same way, didn't even have an officer, and reported that a fart arrived. The line of the city guards disappointed him, such a force, relying on it to fight, no wonder it would be beaten by hairy bears and couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest.

Ferdinand also knew that this was only part of it, specially prepared for them, with no training and no tasks. Other armies may still have some combat effectiveness, and they are also the five major powers in Europe.

But thinking about the chaotic peoples of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ferdinand shook his head. The old emperor needs to know eight Chinese, and it is terrifying to think about it.

"So how should the army be commanded? If the army is formed separately according to the ethnic groups, then the country will easily be divided; If you want to break up the mixed formation, and to ensure its combat effectiveness, then the commander must first learn the languages of other ethnic groups, where to find a group of scholars. ”

"This is also the root cause of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Unless we cut through the chaos and unify the language and culture now, even if there is no World War, this country will not exist for long! Ferdinand thought to himself

I have already made up my mind to pay attention to it, we must take it as a warning, the national question in the Balkans is not much better than that of Austria-Hungary, and the only advantage may be that there are fewer people! When, the small population also became an advantage, and it was fun to think about Ferdinand.

Walking on the streets of Vienna, Ferdinand was still a little unaccustomed. Compared with later generations, Vienna is as prosperous as it is, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with cleanliness and tidiness, and many places are stinky!

If you can't change the world, then adapt to the world! Ferdinand is now a good example.

Before he knew it, he was about to walk to the door of Volvo, and Ferdinand stopped to watch. Looking at the disturbing crowd coming in and out, big bags and small bags, people talked and laughed, and returned with a full load.

Ferdinand was satisfied, strode over to the Volvo, and gestured at the security guards at the door, signaling them not to move.

Then he entered the supermarket, the service staff was busy working, and when he saw Ferdinand walking in and was about to come, he hurriedly motioned for them to continue.

There was some chaos inside, a lot of goods were in disarray, the service staff was busy recovering, and there was still a lot of garbage on the ground, Ferdinand frowned and stretched out again.

On the whole, he is still satisfied, everyone performs their duties, and the work is also dedicated, and the business is prosperous.

However, it may be the limitation of the times, they do not take into account the importance of hygiene, the comfort of customers shopping.

Of course, in the 19th century, perhaps the people were used to it, Vienna was smelly, the streets were full of garbage, and there were not so high requirements for hygiene.

Ferdinand still found Ferranz, which was an affirmation of his work and a request for environmental sanitation.

Ferdinand is willing to increase the cost now and also retain customers, after all, it is clean and tidy on the one hand, and cluttered on the other, and it is easy for people to make choices.

This era was the most comfortable era for the capitalists, who could let the workers work overtime at will, and there were no trade unions in later generations, let alone the threat of the Soviets.

Ferdinand's labor costs didn't increase, but the service staff had one more job to clean up at all times.

Protests, demonstrations, strikes, demands for wage increases, etc., the terms that Ferdinand remembered in the depths of his memory, did not appear.
